PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
MascoTech, Inc. (the "Company") is a diversified industrial manufacturing
company utilizing advanced metalworking capabilities to supply metal formed
components used in vehicle engine and drivetrain applications, specialty
fasteners, towing systems, packaging and sealing products and other industrial
products.
BACKGROUND
MascoTech was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in 1984 as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Masco Corporation, which in May, 1984 transferred to
MascoTech its industrial businesses. The Company became a separate public
company in July, 1984 when Masco Corporation distributed shares of Company
Common Stock as a special dividend to its stockholders. In late 1996, the
Company purchased from Masco Corporation 17 million shares of Company Common
Stock and warrants to acquire 10 million shares of Company Common Stock. Masco
Corporation currently owns approximately 17 percent of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock. Except as the context otherwise indicates, the terms "MascoTech"
and the "Company" refer to MascoTech, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
In late 1994, after pursuing diversified growth in several markets, the
Company adopted a plan to dispose of its architectural products, defense and
certain of its transportation-related businesses. The disposition of these
businesses was completed in 1996. In addition, in 1996, the Company disposed of
its heavy-gauge stamping operations and in early 1997, the Company completed the
sale of its engineering and technical services businesses to MSX International,
Inc. As part of that transaction, the Company acquired an approximate 45 percent
common equity interest in MSX International, Inc. See "Equity Investments --
Other Equity Investments," elsewhere in Item 1 of this Report. In mid-1998, the
Company adopted a plan to sell certain of its automotive aftermarket businesses
and its vacuum metalizing operations. The disposition of these businesses is
expected to occur in 1999, with the cash portion of the proceeds applied to
reduce the Company's indebtedness and to provide capital to invest in its
remaining businesses. The disposition of these businesses did not meet the
criteria for discontinued operations treatment for accounting purposes;
accordingly, the sales and results of operations of these businesses are
included in the results of continuing operations through the date of
disposition. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Disposition of Businesses," included in Item 7 of
this Report.
In January 1998, the Company acquired the remaining 63 percent of the
outstanding shares of common stock of TriMas Corporation it did not previously
own for approximately $920 million. The Company's decision to acquire TriMas was
designed to achieve two primary strategic objectives: to expand its advanced
metalworking process capabilities into additional transportation-related and
other diversified industrial markets and to create more value for shareholders
from affiliate investments. For further discussion of the factors considered in
making the acquisition, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Recent Developments," included in Item 7
of this Report. On a pro forma basis, including TriMas, the Company would have
had sales of approximately $1.6 billion for 1997.
In connection with the TriMas acquisition, the Company entered into a new
$1.3 billion credit facility which is collateralized by a pledge of the stock of
TriMas. See the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
captioned "Long-Term Debt," included in Item 8 of this Report.

forth in the Note to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements captioned
"Segment Information," included in Item 8 of this Report.
Sophisticated technology plays a significant role in MascoTech's businesses
and in the design, engineering and manufacturing of many of its products.
Products are manufactured utilizing a variety of metalworking and other process
technologies. Although published industry statistics are not available, the
Company believes that it is a leading independent producer of many of the
component parts that it produces using cold, warm or hot forming processes. The
Company manufactures a broad range of semi-finished components, subassemblies
and assembled products for the original equipment and aftermarket segments of
the global transportation industry. Approximately 83 percent of the Company's
1998 sales were from operations involving metalworking technologies, including
cold, warm or hot metal forming, and machining and fabricating. The Company
provides components and products for which reliability, quality and certainty of
supply are major factors in customers' selection of suppliers.
The Company manufactures specialty metal formed products for engine and
drivetrain applications, including semi-finished transmission shafts, drive
gears, engine connecting rods, wheel spindles and front wheel drive components.
The Company's metal formed products are manufactured using various process
technologies, including cold, warm and hot forming, powder metalworking,
value-added machining, tubular
3
<PAGE> 5
steel fabricating and hydroforming. The Company believes that its metal forming
technologies provide cost-competitive, high-performance, quality components
required to meet the increasing demands of the automotive and truck markets it
serves.
Approximately 44 percent of the Company's 1998 sales were original
equipment automotive products and services. Sales to original equipment
manufacturers are made through factory sales personnel and independent sales
representatives. During 1998, sales to various divisions and subsidiaries of New
Venture Gear, Inc. accounted for approximately 11 percent of the Company's net
sales.
The Company manufactures towing systems products, including vehicle
hitches, jacks, winches, couplers and related accessories for the passenger car,
light truck, recreational vehicle, marine, agricultural and industrial markets.
Towing systems products are sold to independent installers, distributors,
manufacturers and aftermarket retailers by the Company's sales organization and
independent sales representatives.
The Company's specialty fasteners products include standard- and
custom-designed ferrous, nonferrous and special alloy fasteners for the building
construction, farm implement, medium- and heavy-duty truck, appliance,
aerospace, electronics and other industries. The Company also provides metal
treating services for manufacturers of fasteners and similar products. Specialty
fasteners are sold through the Company's own sales personnel and independent
sales representatives to both distributors and manufacturers in these
industries.
The Company also manufactures specialty packaging and sealing products,
including industrial and consumer container closures and dispensing products
primarily for the chemical, agricultural, refining, food, petrochemical and
health care industries; high-pressure seamless compressed gas cylinders
primarily used for shipping, storing and dispensing oxygen, nitrogen, argon and
helium and a complete line of low-pressure welded cylinders used to contain and
dispense acetylene gas for the welding and cutting industries; and specialty
industrial gaskets for refining, petrochemical and other industrial
applications. Sales of specialty packaging and sealing products are made by the
Company's own sales staff primarily to container manufacturers, industrial gas
producers and independent distributors.
The Company's specialty industrial products include flame-retardant facings
and jacketings used in conjunction with fiberglass insulation, principally for
commercial and industrial construction applications, pressure-sensitive
specialty tape products and a variety of specialty precision tools such as
center drills, cutters, end mills, reamers, master gears, gages and punches.
These products are marketed to manufacturers and distributors by both Company
sales personnel and independent sales representatives.
The Company has announced that certain of its automotive aftermarket
businesses and its vacuum metalizing operations are for sale. These businesses
manufacture fuel and emission systems components, windshield wiper blades, brake
parts, brake hardware repair kits and other automotive accessories. Sales are
made by factory sales personnel primarily to distributors for the traditional,
retail and heavy-duty segments of the automotive aftermarket.
GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING OPERATING SEGMENTS
No material portion of MascoTech's business has special working capital
requirements. Sales by the Company's Towing Systems segment are generally
stronger during the spring and summer periods; no other operating segment
experiences seasonal fluctuation in its business. The Company does not consider
backlog orders to be a material factor in its operating segments. Except as
noted above under "Operating Segments," no material portion of its business is
dependent upon any one customer or subject to renegotiation of profits or
termination of contracts at the election of the federal government. Compliance
with federal, state and local regulations relating to the discharge of materials
into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment, is not expected to result in material capital expenditures by the
Company or to have a material effect on the Company's earnings or competitive
position. See, however, "Legal Proceedings," included as Item 3 of this Report,
for a discussion of certain pending proceedings concerning environmental
matters. In general, raw materials required by the Company are obtainable from
various sources and in the quantities desired.

<PAGE> 6
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Company, through its subsidiaries, has businesses located in Australia,
Canada, Czech Republic, England, Germany, Italy, Mexico and Spain. Products
manufactured by the Company outside of the United States include forged
automotive component parts, constant-velocity joints, specialty packaging and
sealing products and towing systems products. See the Note to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements captioned "Segment Information," included in
Item 8 of this Report for a discussion of the Company's foreign operations and
export sales.
The Company's foreign operations are subject to political, monetary,
economic and other risks attendant generally to international businesses. These
risks generally vary from country to country.
EQUITY INVESTMENTS
Information regarding the Company's equity investments is also set forth in
the Note to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements captioned "Equity
and Other Investments in Affiliates," included in Item 8 of this Report.

approximately $660 million.
Delco Remy International, Inc.
In December 1997, Delco Remy International, Inc. ("Delco Remy") completed
an initial public offering of its common stock reducing the Company's equity
ownership interest to approximately 12 percent on a fully diluted basis (the
Company currently owns approximately 17 percent of the voting common stock).
Delco Remy is a manufacturer of automotive electric motors and other components.
Delco Remy's sales for the year ended July 31, 1998 were approximately $820
million.
Other Equity Investments
In addition to its equity investments in the publicly traded affiliates
described in the preceding paragraphs, the Company has investments in privately
held companies, including MSX International, Inc., a provider of
technology-based business services and product development services. MSX

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
The Company holds a number of patents, patent applications, licenses,
trademarks and trade names. The Company considers its patents, patent
applications, licenses, trademarks and trade names to be valuable, but does not
believe that there is any reasonable likelihood of a loss of such rights which
would have a materially adverse effect on the Company's operating segments or on
its present business as a whole.
COMPETITION
The major domestic and foreign markets for the Company's products are
highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on price, product engineering
and performance, technology, quality and overall customer service, with the
relative importance of such factors varying among products. The Company's global
competitors include a large number of other well-established independent
manufacturers as well as certain customers who have their own internal
manufacturing capabilities. Although a number of companies of varying size
compete with the Company, no single competitor is in substantial competition
with the Company with respect to more than a few of its product lines and
services.

<PAGE> 7
EMPLOYEES
The Company employs approximately 9,200 people. Although satisfactory
relations have generally prevailed between the Company and its employees, during
1997 and 1998 the Company was impacted by a strike at one of its facilities.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
A civil suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California in April, 1983 by the United States of America and the
State of California against over 30 defendants, including a subsidiary of the
Company, for alleged release into the environment of hazardous waste disposed of
at the Stringfellow Disposal Site in California. The plaintiffs have requested,
among other things, that the defendants clean up the contamination at that site.
A consent decree has been entered into by the plaintiffs and the defendants,
including the Company, providing that the consenting parties perform partial
remediation at the site. Another civil suit was filed in the United States
District Court for the Central District of California in December, 1988 by the
United States of America and the State of California against more than 180
defendants, including the Company, for alleged release into the environment of
hazardous waste disposed of at the Operating Industries, Inc. site in
California. This site served for many years as a depository for municipal and
industrial waste. The plaintiffs have requested, among other things, that the
defendants clean up the contamination at that site. Consent decrees have been
entered into by the plaintiffs and a group of the defendants, including the
Company, providing that the consenting parties perform certain remedial work at
the site and reimburse the plaintiffs for certain past costs incurred by the
plaintiffs at the site. Based upon its present knowledge and subject to future
legal and factual developments, the Company does not believe that any of this
litigation will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flow.
The Company is subject to other claims and litigation in the ordinary
course of its business, but does not believe that any such claim or litigation
will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position,

(1) In the third quarter of 1997, the Company declared and paid a $.06 per share
dividend and also declared a $.06 per share dividend which was paid in the
fourth quarter of 1997. The dividend declared in the fourth quarter of 1997
was paid in the first quarter of 1998.
Future declarations of dividends on the Company's Common Stock are
discretionary with the Board of Directors and will depend upon the Company's
earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors. In
addition, certain of the Company's long-term debt instruments contain provisions
that restrict the dividends that the Company may pay on its capital stock. Under
the most restrictive of these provisions, approximately $39 million would have
been available at December 31, 1998 for the payment of cash dividends and the
acquisition of Company capital stock. See the discussion under "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
Financial Position and Liquidity," included in Item 7 of this Report and the
Note to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements captioned "Long-Term
Debt," included in Item 8 of this Report.

Results in 1998 include sales and operating results from TriMas
Corporation, which was purchased in January 1998 for approximately $920 million.
Results in 1998 include a pre-tax charge related to the disposition of
certain businesses aggregating approximately $41 million. In addition, the
Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $25 million related to the
receipt of additional consideration based on the operating performance of the
Company's stamping businesses sold in 1996. Also, the Company recognized a gain
(deferred at time of sale pending receipt of cash) of $7 million pre-tax related
to the disposition of the Company's Technical Services Group in 1997.
Results in 1997 include pre-tax gains approximating $83 million principally
related to the sale by the Company of its common stock holdings of an equity
affiliate, gains from the Company's marketable securities portfolio and income
resulting from equity transactions by affiliates. These gains were partially
offset by costs and expenses of approximately $24 million pre-tax related to
plant closure costs, the Company's share of special charges recorded by equity
affiliates, write-off of deferred charges, and employee termination and other
expenses.
Results for 1996 include an after-tax charge of approximately $26 million
related to the sale of MascoTech Stamping Technologies, Inc.
Results for 1995 include net gains of approximately $5 million pre-tax
related to the dispositions of businesses held for sale, and a gain of
approximately $5 million pre-tax resulting from the issuance of stock through a
public offering by an equity affiliate.
Results for 1994 include a pre-tax charge of $400 million, reflecting the
estimated loss on the planned disposition of a number of the Company's
businesses.
Results for 1994 include pre-tax gains of approximately $18 million related
to the sale by the Company of a portion of its common stock holdings of an
equity affiliate.
Income (loss) from continuing operations before accounting change and
extraordinary income (loss) attributable to common stock was $97.5 million,
$109.0 million, $27.0 million, $46.2 million and $(247.4) million after
preferred stock dividends in 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Earnings per common share, from continuing operations before accounting
change, in 1998, 1997, 1996 and 1995 are presented on a diluted basis. In 1994,
basic loss per common share is presented due to the reported loss from
continuing operations. Basic earnings per share, from continuing operations
before accounting change, were $2.23, $2.70, $.54 and $.85 in 1998, 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In January 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of TriMas
Corporation ("TriMas") by purchasing all the outstanding shares of TriMas not
already owned by the Company for approximately $920 million. The Company
previously owned 37 percent of TriMas. The combined companies would have had
sales on a pro forma basis of approximately $1.6 billion for 1997.
For some time, MascoTech's key strategic objectives have included the
expansion of its advanced metalworking capabilities into additional
transportation-related and other markets, and the creation of more value for its
shareholders from its affiliate investments. The acquisition of TriMas is
consistent with these objectives. MascoTech's advanced metal formed products are
sold to transportation-related markets, primarily for automotive light vehicle
applications. A substantial portion of TriMas' diversified industrial products
are manufactured with metalworking technologies that are complementary to
MascoTech's advanced metalworking capabilities. MascoTech also believes that the
acquisition of TriMas provides opportunities to expand sales of certain of its
products to TriMas' customers and to expand sales of certain of TriMas' products
to MascoTech's customers. The acquisition also permits MascoTech and TriMas to
share research, technology and expertise to the benefit of both companies. In
addition to the expansion of its metalworking capabilities into complementary
markets, and the avoidance of a substantial tax that would result from the sale
or distribution of TriMas holdings, the acquisition of TriMas adds high-margin
complementary businesses that provide substantial additional cash flow and human
resources. MascoTech believes that the acquisition should enhance its
opportunity to create value for its shareholders by diversifying its business
mix, by improving its cost efficiencies, and by expanding its growth
opportunities.
In addition to the TriMas acquisition, the Company in 1998 also acquired
three companies and a product line with combined annual sales of approximately
$60 million. These businesses complement the Company's specialty fasteners and
specialty packaging and sealing products businesses.
SHARE REPURCHASE
The Company's major shareholder, Masco Corporation, had a long-standing
stated objective to simplify its corporate structure by reducing its affiliate
investments. More recently, Masco Corporation had committed to its shareholders
that Masco Corporation would reduce its investment in MascoTech to below 20
percent. Given the possible alternatives available to Masco Corporation to
accomplish this objective and the related uncertainty as to what action Masco
Corporation might take, together with the positive long-term outlook for
MascoTech, the MascoTech Board of Directors decided to address this issue by
proactively pursuing the purchase of Masco Corporation's holdings in MascoTech.
The MascoTech Board of Directors believed that purchasing and retiring a
substantial number of MascoTech shares (at a reasonable price) would help create
long-term value for the Company's shareholders.
As a result, in late 1996, the Company purchased from Masco Corporation 17
million shares of MascoTech common stock and warrants to acquire 10 million
shares of MascoTech common stock, for approximately $266 million. As part of
this transaction, and given his role as Chairman of both Masco Corporation and
MascoTech, Richard Manoogian also agreed to sell to MascoTech one million shares
of MascoTech common stock at the then current market price of $13 5/8. As a
result, his seven percent ownership in MascoTech common stock remained
approximately the same after the share purchases. In addition, as part of this
transaction, Masco Corporation also agreed that MascoTech will have the right of
first refusal to purchase the approximate 7.8 million shares of MascoTech common
stock that Masco Corporation continues to hold, should Masco Corporation decide
to dispose of such shares. At December 31, 1998, Masco Corporation owned
approximately 17 percent of the MascoTech common stock outstanding.
11
<PAGE> 13
DISPOSITION OF BUSINESSES
In May 1996, the Company sold MascoTech Stamping Technologies, Inc.
("MSTI"), a wholly owned subsidiary, to Tower Automotive, Inc. ("Tower")
resulting in an after-tax loss of approximately $26 million. The Company
received initial consideration of approximately $80 million, consisting
principally of $55 million in cash, 785,000 shares of Tower common stock and
warrants to purchase additional Tower common stock. In addition, the Company
received contingent consideration of $30 million based on the subsequent
operating performance of the businesses sold.
In early 1997, the Company completed the sale of its Technical Services
Group (comprised of the Company's engineering and technical business services
units) to MSX International, Inc. ("MSXI"). Also included in this transaction
were the net assets of APX International ("APX") which were acquired by the
Company in November 1996. The sale resulted in total proceeds to the Company of
approximately $145 million, consisting of cash, subordinated debentures,
preferred stock and an approximate 45 percent common equity interest in MSXI.
Net proceeds to the Company approximated $90 million, after taking into account
the purchase price for APX and taxes payable in connection with this
transaction. In January 1998, the Company received $48 million of cash from MSXI
in payment of certain amounts due MascoTech, resulting in a realized pre-tax
gain in the first quarter 1998 of approximately $7 million (gain recognition was
deferred at the time of the transaction pending cash receipt).
In mid-1998, the Company adopted a plan to sell certain of its aftermarket
businesses and its vacuum metalizing operations and recorded a pre-tax loss of
approximately $41 million. The disposition of these businesses is expected to
occur in 1999 with the cash portion of the proceeds applied to reduce the
Company's indebtedness and to provide capital to invest in its remaining
businesses.
Businesses to be sold or sold had net sales of $115 million, $130 million
and $517 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and operating profit of
$12 million, $16 million and $19 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
PROFIT MARGINS
Operating profit margins, excluding net gains in 1997 and net charges in
1998 and 1996 from the disposition of businesses, were approximately 14 percent
in 1998, ten percent in 1997 and eight percent in 1996. The increase in the
operating profit margin in 1998 compared with the previous two years is
attributable to the disposition of businesses which had margins lower than the
Company's remaining operations, and the acquisition of higher margin businesses.
CASH FLOWS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Net cash flows from operating activities increased to approximately $200
million in 1998 from $79 million in 1997. The increase in cash from operations
is principally attributable to the businesses acquired in the TriMas acquisition
and the liquidation of the Company's marketable securities portfolio. In
addition, the Company received approximately $80 million from the liquidation of
debentures and notes receivable related to Emco Limited and MSXI.
Reflecting the favorable long-term prospects for MascoTech, the Company's
Board of Directors authorized in 1994 the repurchase of ten million shares of
Company Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock (converted into common
stock in 1997). This repurchase authorization was completed in 1998 and the
Board of Directors in late 1998 authorized an additional repurchase of five
million shares of Company Common Stock. During 1998, the Company repurchased 3.6
million shares for approximately $64 million, including .4 million shares
pursuant to the 1998 Board authorization. In addition, in October 1996, the
Company purchased and retired 18 million shares of Company Common Stock and
warrants to purchase ten million shares of Company Common Stock for cash and
notes approximating $280 million (see "Corporate Development" above and
"Shareholders' Equity" note to the financial statements).
The Company in 1998 increased the quarterly dividend on its common stock to
$.07 per share from $.06.
12
<PAGE> 14
Capital expenditures in 1998 were approximately $106 million as compared
with $55 million and $44 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in
capital expenditures from 1997 is principally related to the businesses acquired
in 1998. These expenditures for new advanced manufacturing technologies, product
line extensions and capacity for new products were the result of the Company's
favorable long-term outlook for its businesses.
INVENTORIES
The Company's investment in inventories for its businesses increased to
approximately $198 million at December 31, 1998 as compared with $74 million in
1997. The increase is principally the result of acquisitions and higher
inventory levels within the Specialty Metal Formed Products segment.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
In connection with the TriMas acquisition in January 1998, the Company
entered into a new $1.3 billion credit facility. The Company's credit facility
includes a $500 million term loan and an $800 million revolver, both of which
terminate in 2003. The interest rates applicable to the new credit facility are
principally at alternative floating rates which would have approximated 6.3
percent at December 31, 1998. Interest rate swap agreements covering a notional
amount of $400 million of the Company's floating rate debt were entered into in
1998 at an aggregate interest rate of approximately seven percent, including the
current borrowing spread under the Company's revolving credit agreement. The new
credit facility requires the maintenance of a specified level of shareholders'
equity plus subordinated debt, with limitations on the ratios of total debt to
cash flow (as defined) and cash flow less capital expenditures (as defined) to
interest plus scheduled debt payments. In addition, there are limitations on
dividends, share repurchases and subordinated debt repurchases. Under the most
restrictive of these provisions, approximately $39 million would have been
available at December 31, 1998 for the payment of cash dividends and the
acquisition of Company capital stock. In addition, future cash dividends and any
acquisition of Company Common Stock could be further accomplished with internal
cash flows from operations.
Although the Company incurred increased debt with the purchase of TriMas,
the Company's interest coverage ratio and debt to cash flow ratio remain strong.
The Company expects that its ratio of debt to total debt plus equity will
improve from the operating performance of its businesses and from the
disposition of certain financial assets. The Company's financial assets include
equity ownership positions in two publicly traded companies with an aggregate
carrying value of approximately $58 million.
On September 30, 1997, the Company exercised its option and exchanged its
equity holdings in Emco Limited and approximately $46 million in cash to Masco
Corporation to satisfy the indebtedness to Masco incurred in 1996 in connection
with the Company's purchase and retirement of certain of its common shares and
warrants held by Masco.
At December 31, 1998, current assets, which aggregated approximately $501
million, were approximately two times current liabilities. Additional borrowings
available under the Company's new revolving credit agreement and otherwise,
anticipated internal cash flows, and to the extent necessary, future financings
in the financial markets are expected to provide sufficient liquidity to fund
the Company's foreseeable working capital, capital expansion programs and other
investment needs.
GENERAL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
1998 VERSUS 1997
Sales increased to $1.6 billion in 1998 from $922 million in 1997
principally as a result of acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions, sales would
have increased approximately three percent over 1997.
Net income in 1998 was $97.5 million or $1.83 per common share. Results in
1998 include a charge related to the disposition of certain businesses
aggregating approximately $41 million pre-tax. In addition, the Company recorded
a pre-tax gain of approximately $25 million related to the receipt of additional
consideration based on the operating performance of the Company's stamping
businesses which were sold in
13
<PAGE> 15
1996. Results in 1998 also benefitted from a gain (deferred at time of sale
pending receipt of cash) of $7 million pre-tax related to the disposition of the
Company's Technical Services Group in 1997 and gains from the Company's
marketable securities portfolio. Excluding these gains and the charge, net
income in 1998 would have been approximately $89 million or $1.68 per common
share.
Income after preferred stock dividends in 1997 was $109 million or $2.12
per common share. Results in 1997 include pre-tax gains approximating $83
million principally related to the disposition of the Company's equity ownership
interest in Emco Limited, gains from the Company's marketable securities
portfolio and income resulting from equity transactions by affiliates. These
gains were partially offset by costs and expenses of approximately $24 million
pre-tax related to plant closure costs, the Company's share of special charges
recorded by equity affiliates, write-off of deferred charges, and employee
termination and other expenses. Excluding these gains and unusual costs, income
after preferred stock dividends in 1997 would have been approximately $73
million or $1.50 per common share.
The following information is presented on a pro forma basis as though
TriMas was acquired on January 1, 1997.
Sales increased approximately five percent to $1.7 billion in 1998
from $1.6 billion in 1997. Excluding acquisitions other than TriMas, sales
would have increased approximately four percent in 1998 as compared to
1997.
Sales of Specialty Metal Formed Products increased approximately six
percent in 1998 as compared to 1997. Towing Systems sales, driven by demand
for new products, increased by 13 percent over 1997 levels. Sales of
Specialty Packaging and Sealing Products and Specialty Fasteners, aided by
acquisitions, increased modestly in 1998. Sales of Specialty Industrial
Products approximated 1997 levels. Sales for certain of the Company's
aftermarket-related businesses that are being held for sale declined by 13
percent.
Although 1998 results benefitted from increased sales, operating
margins for the Company's Specialty Metal Formed Products in 1998 were
slightly below 1997 levels (excluding 1997 nonrecurring charges). Operating
results for both 1998 and 1997 were hampered by work stoppages at major
customers and at one of the Company's manufacturing facilities. In
addition, operating results for both 1998 and 1997 were adversely impacted
by start-up costs associated with the Company's hydroforming manufacturing
process. Specialty Metal Formed Products' operating margins were also
negatively impacted by launch costs related to a new facility in Spain to
manufacture powder metal connecting rods.
Operating margins in 1998 for the Company's Specialty Fasteners,
Towing Systems, Specialty Packaging and Sealing business and Specialty
Industrial Products approximated or slightly exceeded 1997 levels, while
operating margins for aftermarket-related products decreased in 1998 from
1997 principally as a result of decreased sales volumes.
Operating margins on a pro forma basis including increased
amortization expense and before general corporate expense and gain (charge)
on dispositions approximated 15 percent for the years 1998 and 1997.
The Company's lower effective tax rate for 1998 is the result of the
recognition of a non-taxable gain from the sale of MSTI and tax benefits from
additional tax losses in excess of book losses related to the disposition of
certain businesses. On a pro forma basis, excluding both the gain and charge,
the effective tax rate would be comparable to 1997. The Company, through
acquisitions and growth, has increased its foreign presence, principally in
Europe. In the future, if the Company's foreign operations contribute an
increased percentage of pre-tax income, the Company's effective tax rate could
increase as a result of higher foreign tax rates versus the U.S. domestic tax
rate.
14
<PAGE> 16
1997 VERSUS 1996
Sales of the Company's metalworking and aftermarket businesses increased
six percent to approximately $922 million from $869 million in 1996. Total sales
for 1997, however, declined to approximately $922 million from $1.3 billion in
1996, reflecting the previously announced disposition of certain businesses.
Income after preferred stock dividends in 1997 was $109 million or $2.12
per common share. Results in 1997 include pre-tax gains approximating $83
million principally related to the disposition of the Company's equity ownership
interest in Emco Limited, gains from the Company's marketable securities
portfolio and income resulting from equity transactions by affiliates. These
gains were partially offset by costs and expenses of approximately $24 million
pre-tax related to plant closure costs, the Company's share of special charges
recorded by equity affiliates, write-off of deferred charges, and employee
termination and other expenses. Excluding the gains and unusual costs, income
after preferred stock dividends in 1997 would have been approximately $73
million or $1.50 per common share.
Income after preferred stock dividends in 1996 was $38.7 million or $.72
per common share. Results in 1996 include an after-tax loss of approximately $26
million related to the sale of the Company's heavy-gauge stamping operations
(MSTI), which more than offset after-tax income of approximately $11.7 million
related to the cumulative effect of an accounting change. Excluding the above
items, income in 1996 after preferred stock dividends would have been
approximately $53 million or $.98 per common share.
Operating profit in 1997 for the Company's metalworking and aftermarket
businesses, before general corporate expense, decreased to approximately $119
million from $136 million in 1996. Although 1997 results benefitted from
increased sales in the Company's transportation-related businesses, operating
performance was negatively impacted by work stoppages at certain North American
vehicle manufacturers, costs and expenses as a result of a strike at one of the
Company's manufacturing facilities and higher than anticipated product start-up
costs. Businesses sold had operating losses before general corporate expense and
gains (charge) on disposition of businesses, net of approximately $13 million
for 1996.
Other income (expense), net in 1997, was income of approximately $89
million as compared with income of approximately $8 million in 1996. Results for
1997 benefitted from a gain on the disposition of an equity affiliate, gains
from the Company's marketable securities portfolio, higher equity and interest
income from affiliates and income resulting from equity transactions by
affiliates. This income was partially offset by higher interest expense in 1997.
OTHER MATTERS
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs having been written
using two digits, rather than four, to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's computers, computer programs, and manufacturing and administration
equipment that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. If any of the Company's systems or
equipment that have date-sensitive software use only two digits, system failures
or miscalculations may result, causing disruptions of operations, including,
among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions or send and
receive electronic data with third parties or engage in similar business
activities.
As a key supplier to the automotive industry, the Company's major exposure
for Year 2000 problems is the effect of shutting down production at one of its
automotive customer's manufacturing facilities. While lost revenues from such an
event are a concern for the Company, the greater risks are the consequential
damages for which the Company could be liable if it in fact is found responsible
for the shutdown of one of its customer's manufacturing facilities. Such a
finding could have a materially adverse impact on the Company's results of
operations.
The most likely way in which the Company would shut down production at an
automotive customer's facility is by being unable to supply parts to that
customer. The parts supplied by the Company, in most instances, are integral
components of the end products produced by customers, and the inability to
provide
15
<PAGE> 17
parts may render the customer unable to manufacture and sell its products.
Disruptions in the Company's computer systems and applications could prevent the
Company from being able to manufacture and ship its parts. Examples are failures
in the Company's manufacturing application software, computer chips embedded in
manufacturing equipment and lack of supply of materials from its suppliers. The
Company's parts do not contain computer devices that require remediation to meet
Year 2000 requirements. A review of the Company's status with respect to
remediating its computer systems for Year 2000 compliance is presented below.
The Company has in place an internal review team that has been and is
continuing to address the Year 2000 issues that encompass operating and
administrative areas of the Company. In addition, the Company has engaged
professional consultants to assist Company personnel to identify significant
Year 2000 issues in a timely manner. Also, executive management and the Board of
Directors regularly monitor the status of the Company's Year 2000 remediation
plans. The process includes an assessment of issues and development of
remediation plans, where necessary, as they relate to internally used software,
computer hardware and the use of computer applications in the Company's
manufacturing processes.
For its information technology, the Company currently utilizes a mid-range,
non-mainframe based computing environment which is complemented by a series of
local-area networks ("LANs") that are connected via a wide-area network ("WAN").
Substantially all operating systems related to the mid-range systems, LANs and
WAN have been updated to comply with Year 2000 requirements. In addition,
upgraded and modified versions of the Company's financial, manufacturing, human
resource and other packaged software applications which are Year 2000-ready are
in the process of being integrated into the Company's overall system. The
Company presently expects that this integration will be substantially completed
in the next few months.
The Company utilizes non-mainframe computers and software in its various
production processes throughout the world. In several locations, it has retained
outside consultants to assist it in identifying potential Year 2000 issues in
those processes, and evaluating the readiness of the computer systems used in
those processes. General findings to date have identified minimal changes that
need to be made to these systems. Problems generally relate to old personal
computers or memory chips, which are being replaced.
Although there can be no assurance that the Company will identify and
correct every Year 2000 issue found in the computer applications used in its
production processes, the Company believes that it has in place a comprehensive
program to identify and correct any such issues, and expects to have the
remediation of its production systems substantially completed in early 1999. At
the present time, the Company does not believe that it requires a contingency
plan with respect to its information technology and production processes, and
has therefore not developed one.
The Company is also reviewing its building and utility systems (heat,
light, phones, etc.) for Year 2000 impact. Many of these systems are Year
2000-ready. While the Company is working diligently with all of its utility
suppliers and has no reason to expect that they will not meet their required
Year 2000 compliance targets, there can be no assurance that these suppliers
will in fact meet the Company's requirements. The failure of any such supplier
to fully remediate its systems for Year 2000 compliance could cause a disruption
of one or more of the Company's plants, which could impact the Company's ability
to meet its obligations to supply products to its customers.
The Company has also commenced a program to determine the Year 2000
compliance efforts of its equipment and material suppliers. The Company has sent
comprehensive questionnaires to all of its significant suppliers regarding their
Year 2000 compliance and is attempting to identify any problem areas with
respect to them. The Company has been working with its key suppliers, including
its steel suppliers, to ensure that it will receive key components without
disruption. This program will be ongoing and the Company's efforts with respect
to specific issues identified will depend in part upon its assessment of the
risk that any such issues may have a materially adverse impact on its
operations.
Unfortunately, the Company cannot control the conduct of its suppliers, and
therefore cannot guarantee that Year 2000 problems originating with a supplier
will not occur. The Company has not yet developed
16
<PAGE> 18
contingency plans in the event of a Year 2000 failure caused by a supplier or
third party, but would intend to do so if a specific problem is identified
through the programs described above. In some cases, especially with respect to
its utility vendors, alternative suppliers may not be available.
As a key supplier in the auto industry, the Company takes an active role in
many industry-sponsored organizations, including the Automotive Industry Action
Group ("AIAG"). The AIAG has been proactive in working with OEMs and suppliers
to ensure that the industry as a whole addresses the Year 2000 problem. Tools to
assist in achieving compliance include standardized questionnaires, regular
meetings of members and follow-up by AIAG personnel regarding answers to
questionnaires, etc. The Company continues to work with such industry groups to
ensure compliance.
The information presented above sets forth the key steps the Company is
taking to address the Year 2000 issue. The cost of Year 2000 compliance for the
Company, expected to approximate $11 - $15 million, including: replacement costs
of $6 - $8 million which are normal and recurring; upgrades of $2 - $3 million
which are normal and recurring; repair/programming costs of $2 - $3 million; and
other costs of $1 million, are not material to the Company's consolidated
results of operations, financial position or cash flow. The majority of the
replacement and upgrade costs would have been incurred by the Company over time
as part of its regular information system replacement process.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion and other sections of this annual report contain statements
reflecting the Company's views about its future performance and constitute
"forward-looking statements." These views involve risks and uncertainties that
are difficult to predict and may cause the Company's actual results to differ
significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements.
Readers should consider that various factors may affect the Company's ability to
attain the projected performance, including: conditions within the markets in
which the Company competes, the cyclical nature of the automobile industry in
general, changes in the costs of raw materials, labor relations of the Company
and certain of its customers, the ability to supply new and existing products on
a timely, cost-effective basis, financial results of the Company's equity
investments and general economic conditions. The Company undertakes no
obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
of MascoTech, Inc.:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index
appearing under Item 14(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of MascoTech, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item
14(a)(2)(i) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial
statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.
As discussed in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements,
effective January 1, 1996, the Company changed its method of accounting for the
impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of.

MASCOTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Corporations that are 20 to 50
percent owned are accounted for by the equity method of accounting; ownership
less than 20 percent is accounted for on the cost basis unless the Company
exercises significant influence over the investee. Capital transactions by
equity affiliates, which change the Company's ownership interest at amounts
differing from the Company's carrying amount, are reflected in other income or
expense and the investment in affiliates account.
The Company has a corporate services agreement with Masco Corporation,
which at December 31, 1998 owned approximately 17 percent of the Company's
Common Stock. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays fees to Masco
Corporation for various corporate staff support and administrative services,
research and development and facilities. Such fees, which are determined
principally as a percentage of net sales, aggregated approximately $8.7 million
in 1998, $5.5 million in 1997 and $7.1 million in 1996.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements. Such estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ
from such estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Investments. The Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash
investments. The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash
investments approximates fair value.
Marketable Securities and Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company's
marketable equity securities holdings are categorized as trading and, as a
result, are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value of trading
securities are recognized in earnings. The Company may enter into S&P futures
contracts which are held for purposes other than trading and are carried at
market value. Changes in market value of outstanding futures contracts are
recognized in earnings. The Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements
to limit the effect of increases in the interest rates on any floating rate
debt. For interest rate instruments that effectively hedge interest rate
exposures, the net cash amounts paid or received on the agreements are
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.
Receivables. Receivables are presented net of allowances for doubtful
accounts of approximately $3.4 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable
value, with cost determined principally by use of the first-in, first-out
method.
Property and Equipment, Net. Property and equipment additions, including
significant betterments, are recorded at cost. Upon retirement or disposal of
property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in income. Repair and maintenance
costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation is computed principally using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Annual
depreciation rates are as follows: buildings and land improvements, 2 1/2 to 10
percent, and machinery and equipment, 6 2/3 to 33 1/3 percent. Deferred
financing costs are amortized over the lives of the related debt securities. The
excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies is amortized using the
straight-line method over the period estimated to be benefitted, not exceeding
40 years. At each balance sheet date, management assesses whether there has been
a permanent impairment of the excess of cost over net assets of acquired
companies by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from operating
activities with the carrying amount of the excess of cost over net assets of
23
<PAGE> 25
MASCOTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
acquired companies. The factors considered by management in performing this
assessment include current operating results, business prospects, market trends,
potential product obsolescence, competitive activities and other economic
factors. Based on this assessment, there was no permanent impairment related to
the excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies not held for
disposition at December 31, 1998.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, accumulated amortization of the excess of
cost over net assets of acquired companies and patents was $56.4 million and
$33.2 million, respectively. Amortization expense was $31.8 million, $9.3
million and $8.5 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Income Taxes. The Company records income taxes in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 ("SFAS No. 109"), "Accounting
for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial
statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, SFAS No. 109
generally allows consideration of all expected future events other than
enactments of changes in the tax law or tax rates. A provision has not been made
at December 31, 1998 for U.S. or additional foreign withholding taxes on
approximately $90 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as
those earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested. Generally, such
earnings become subject to U.S. tax upon the remittance of dividends and under
certain other circumstances. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of
deferred tax liability on such undistributed earnings.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Reclassifications. Effective January 1,
1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This
statement establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income and its components. The Company displays comprehensive income in the
Statement of Shareholders' Equity and has reclassified all prior periods as
required.
Effective December 31, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131
supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise." The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not affect results of operations
or financial position but did affect the disclosure of segment information (see
"Segment Information" note).
Effective December 31, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132, "Employer's
Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." The provisions of
SFAS No. 132 revise employers' disclosures about pension and other
postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition
of these plans.
Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to these and other
presentations adopted in calendar year 1998.
At January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
which resulted in a pre-tax gain (because the fair value of the businesses being
held for sale at January 1, 1996 exceeded the carrying value for such
businesses) of $16.7 million ($11.7 million after-tax), recorded as the
cumulative effect of an accounting change.
On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
SFAS No. 133 is effective for quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June
15, 1999 (January 1, 2000 for the Company). SFAS No. 133 requires that all
derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current
earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is
designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge
transaction. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 133 will
have on its financial statements, if any.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of
Position No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities," became
effective on January 1, 1999 and will not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur
if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock. The Company's preferred stock and convertible
debentures did not have a dilutive effect on earnings per share in 1996.
SUPPLEMENTARY CASH FLOWS INFORMATION:
Significant transactions not affecting cash were: in 1998, the issuance of
$22 million of Company Common Stock in partial exchange for the assets of an
acquired company; the acquisition of TriMas for cash and the assumption of
liabilities of approximately $179 million; in 1997, the conversion of the
Company's outstanding shares of Dividend Enhanced Convertible Preferred Stock
for approximately ten million shares of Company Common Stock (see "Shareholders'
Equity" note); the exchange of approximately 9.9 million shares of the
outstanding common stock of Emco Limited ("Emco") with a value of approximately
$106 million, in addition to the cash payment of approximately $46 million, in
payment of a promissory note due to Masco Corporation; and in 1996, in addition
to cash received, approximately $25 million comprised of both common stock and
warrants, as consideration from the sale of MascoTech Stamping Technologies,
Inc.; in addition to the cash payment by the Company of $121 million, notes
approximating $159 million were
25

MASCOTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
issued for the purchase of 18 million shares of the Company's Common Stock and
warrants to purchase ten million shares of the Company's Common Stock (see
"Shareholders' Equity" note).
Income taxes paid (refunded) were $38 million, $44 million and $(12)
million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Interest paid was $79 million, $39
million and $30 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
ACQUISITIONS:
In January 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of TriMas
Corporation ("TriMas") by purchasing all the outstanding shares of TriMas not
already owned by the Company for approximately $920 million. The Company
previously owned 37 percent of TriMas.
The results for 1998 reflect TriMas sales and operating results from the
date of acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and
the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net assets

In transactions accounted for as purchases, the Company acquired additional
businesses in 1998 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $77 million.
These businesses have annual sales of approximately $60 million and their
results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from the dates of acquisition.
DISPOSITIONS OF BUSINESSES:
In May 1996, the Company sold MascoTech Stamping Technologies, Inc.
("MSTI"), a wholly owned subsidiary, to Tower Automotive, Inc. ("Tower")
resulting in an after-tax loss of approximately $26 million ($.49 per common
share). The Company received initial consideration of approximately $80 million,
consisting principally of $55 million in cash, 785,000 shares of Tower common
stock and warrants to purchase additional Tower common stock. In addition, the
Company received approximately $30 million of contingent consideration ($5
million in 1997 and $25 million in 1998) based on the subsequent operating
performance of the businesses sold. This gain, which is non-taxable, is included
in the caption "gains (charge) on disposition of businesses, net" in the
consolidated statement of income.
On January 3, 1997, the Company sold its Technical Services Group
(comprised of the Company's engineering and technical business services units)
to MSX International, Inc. Also included in this transaction were the net assets
of APX International which were acquired by the Company in November 1996 for
approximately $44 million. The sale resulted in total proceeds to the Company of
approximately $145 million, subject to certain adjustments, consisting of cash,
$30 million of subordinated debentures, $18 million of preferred stock and an
approximate 45 percent common equity interest in MSX International, Inc. valued
at $2 million. In January 1998, the Company received $48 million of cash from
MSX International, Inc. in payment of the subordinated debentures and other
amounts due MascoTech, resulting in a realized gain in the
26

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
first quarter 1998 of $7 million. The remaining deferred gain of approximately
$20 million will be recognized upon the liquidation of the common and preferred
stock holdings for cash. The Company did not reflect any revenues or expenses in
the consolidated statement of income related to APX International from the date
of acquisition through January 3, 1997 as control was deemed to be temporary.
In the second quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a non-cash charge
aggregating approximately $41 million pre-tax (approximately $22 million
after-tax) to reflect the write-down of certain long-lived assets principally
related to the plan to dispose of certain businesses and to accrue exit costs of
approximately $8 million, of which approximately $7 million relates to
severance. The disposition of these businesses is expected to occur in 1999 with
the cash portion of the proceeds applied to reduce the Company's indebtedness
and to provide capital to invest in its remaining businesses. The expected
proceeds from the sale of the businesses to be disposed was estimated by the
Company's management based on a variety of factors including: historical and
projected operating performance, competitive market position, perceived
strategic value to potential acquirors, tangible asset values and other relevant
factors. In addition, management's estimate of the expected proceeds included
input from independent parties familiar with business valuations of this nature.
The dispositions of these businesses do not meet the criteria for
discontinued operations treatment for accounting purposes; accordingly, the
sales and results of operations of these businesses will be included in
continuing operations until disposition. These businesses had annual sales of
$115 million, $130 million and $517 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and operating profit of $12 million, $16 million and $19 million
in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Future periods will include the operating results of the businesses to be
sold and any additional costs to be incurred in connection with the sale of the
remaining businesses which cannot be accrued at December 31, 1998, as well as
the result of differences between estimated and actual proceeds. In addition,
management expects that certain of the businesses to be disposed may be sold for
gains; such gains will be recognized when realized.

In March 1997, TriMas called for redemption its 5% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures which resulted in the issuance of approximately 4.7 million common
shares, reducing the Company's common equity ownership in TriMas to
approximately 37 percent. The Company recognized pre-tax income of approximately
$13 million as a result of the change in the Company's common equity ownership
interest in TriMas.
In September 1997, the Company exercised its option and exchanged its
equity holdings in Emco, with a value approximating $106 million, and
approximately $46 million in cash to satisfy the indebtedness to Masco
Corporation incurred in 1996 in connection with the Company's purchase and
retirement of certain of its securities held by Masco Corporation. This
transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $46 million. In
addition, the Company had an investment in Emco subordinated notes which were
classified as available-for-sale and, as a result, were included in other assets
at fair value at December 31, 1997. The notes were subsequently redeemed in
1998.
In December 1997, DRI completed an initial public offering reducing the
Company's common equity ownership interest in DRI to approximately 12 percent on
a diluted basis. As a result of the change in the Company's common equity
ownership interest in DRI, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of
approximately $5 million.
In addition to its equity investments in publicly traded affiliates, the
Company has equity and other investment interests in privately held automotive
related companies, including the Company's common equity ownership in Saturn
Electronics & Engineering, Inc., a manufacturer of electromechanical and
electronic automotive components, and MSX International, Inc., a provider of
technology-based business services and product development services.
Equity in undistributed earnings of affiliates of $6 million at December
31, 1998, $68 million at December 31, 1997 and $57 million at December 31, 1996
are included in consolidated retained earnings.

</TABLE>
In connection with the TriMas acquisition in early 1998 (see "Acquisitions"
note), the Company entered into a new $1.3 billion credit facility. This
facility includes a $500 million term loan with remaining principal payments as
follows: 1999 -- $40 million; 2000 -- $60 million; 2001 -- $75 million;
2002 -- $190 million; and 2003 -- $110 million. The credit facility also
includes an $800 million revolver which terminates in 2003. The Company has the
ability and intent to refinance amounts due in 1999 on a long-term basis
utilizing the revolver.
Other debt at December 31, 1998 principally consists of borrowings
denominated in foreign currencies under the revolving credit agreement by the
Company's subsidiaries. At December 31, 1998, there was $233 million unused
under the revolving credit agreement.
The interest rates applicable to the revolver and term loan are principally
at alternative floating rates which approximated 6.3 percent at December 31,
1998. Interest rate swaps covering a notional amount of $400 million of the
Company's floating rate debt were entered into in 1998 at an aggregate interest
rate of approximately seven percent including the current borrowing spread under
the Company's revolving credit agreement. These swap agreements expire at
various dates between 2000 and 2007.
The credit facility requires the maintenance of a specified level of
shareholders' equity plus subordinated debt, with limitations on the ratios of
total debt to cash flow (as defined) and cash flow less capital expenditures (as
defined) to interest plus taxes and scheduled debt payments. In addition, there
are limitations on dividends, share repurchases and subordinated debt
repurchases. Under the most restrictive of
30
<PAGE> 32
MASCOTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
these provisions, approximately $39 million would have been available at
December 31, 1998 for the payment of cash dividends and the acquisition of
Company capital stock. The facility is collateralized by a pledge of the stock
of TriMas.
The maturities of debt as at December 31, 1998 during the next five years
are as follows (in millions): 1999 -- $45; 2000 -- $67; 2001 -- $79;
2002 -- $194; and 2003 -- $923.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
On June 27, 1997, the Company completed the conversion of all remaining
issued and outstanding shares of its Dividend Enhanced Convertible Preferred
Stock (DECS). Holders of DECS received in exchange for each share of DECS .955
of a share of the Company's Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, resulting
in the issuance of approximately 10 million shares of Company Common Stock.
On October 31, 1996, the Company purchased from Masco Corporation 17
million shares of MascoTech common stock and warrants to purchase 10 million
shares of MascoTech common stock, for cash and notes approximating $266 million.
As part of this 1996 transaction, Richard A. Manoogian, Chairman of both Masco
Corporation and MascoTech, also sold to MascoTech one million shares of
MascoTech common stock (at the then current market price) for approximately
$13.6 million. In addition, as part of this transaction, Masco Corporation's
agreement to purchase from the Company, at the Company's option, up to $200
million of subordinated debentures was extended through 2002. Masco Corporation
also agreed that MascoTech will have the right of first refusal to purchase the
approximate 7.8 million shares of MascoTech common stock that Masco Corporation
continues to hold, should Masco Corporation decide to dispose of such shares.
The Company repurchased and retired approximately 3.6 million shares of its
common stock in 1998, approximately .3 million shares of its common stock and
approximately .5 million shares of its preferred stock in 1997, and
approximately one million shares of its common stock in 1996, pursuant to Board
of Directors' authorized repurchase programs. At December 31, 1998, the Company
may repurchase approximately 4.6 million additional shares of Company Common
Stock pursuant to repurchase authorization.
On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share
were $.26 ($.20) in 1998, $.22 ($.28) in 1997 and $.18 ($.18) in 1996.
STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS:
The Company's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") provides for the
issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms. At December 31, 1998,
outstanding stock-based incentives are in the form of restricted long-term stock
awards and stock options.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted long-term stock awards, net, for
908,000, 565,000 and 480,000 shares of Company Common Stock during 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively, to key employees of the Company and affiliated
companies. The weighted average fair value per share of long-term stock awards
granted during 1998, 1997 and 1996 on the date of grant was $19, $19 and $14,
respectively. Compensation expense for the vesting of long-term stock awards was
approximately $5.2 million, $4.7 million and $2.3 million in 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. The unamortized value of unvested stock awards, aggregating
approximately $47 million at December 31, 1998, are generally amortized over
ten-year vesting periods and are recorded in the financial statements as a
deduction from shareholders' equity.
Fixed stock options are granted to key employees of the Company and
affiliated companies and have a maximum term of ten years. The exercise price of
each fixed option equals the market price of Company Common Stock on the date of
grant. These options either vest no later than ten years after grant or in
installments beginning in the third year and extending through the eighth year
after grant.

At December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, a combined total of 3,820,000,
5,223,000 and 4,656,000 shares, respectively, of Company Common Stock were
available for the granting of options and incentive awards under the above
plans.
The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and, accordingly, no stock option compensation
expense is included in the determination of net income in the statement of
income. The weighted average fair value on the date of grant of options granted
was $6.30, $7.70 and $6.20 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Had stock
option compensation expense been determined pursuant to the methodology of SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the pro forma effects on the
Company's earnings per share would have been a reduction of approximately $.04,
$.02 and $.01 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

was 8.5 percent, decreasing to an ultimate rate in the year 2007 of five
percent. If the assumed medical cost trend rates were increased by one percent,
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations would increase by $1.2
million and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net
periodic postretirement benefit obligations cost would increase by $.1 million.
If the assumed medical cost trend rates were decreased by one percent, the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligations would decrease by $1.1 million
and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost would decrease by $.1 million.

SEGMENT INFORMATION:
The Company has defined a segment as a component, with business activity
resulting in revenue and expense, that has separate financial information
evaluated regularly by the Company's chief operating decision maker in
determining resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company has five
operating segments involving the manufacture and sale of the following:
Specialty Metal Formed Products -- Precision products, principally
engine and drivetrain components and subassemblies, generally produced
using advanced metalworking technologies with significant proprietary
content for the transportation industry.
Towing Systems -- Vehicle hitches, jacks, winches, couplers and related
towing accessories.
Specialty Fasteners -- Cold formed fasteners and related metallurgical
processing.
Specialty Packaging and Sealing Products -- Industrial container
closures, pressurized gas cylinders and metallic and nonmetallic
gaskets.
Specialty Industrial Products -- Specialty drills, cutters and
specialized metal finishing services, and flame-retardant facings and
jacketings and pressure-sensitive tapes.
The Company purchased TriMas in January 1998 and the segment data for 1998
reflects TriMas as though the transaction had occurred on January 1, 1998,
consistent with the Company's internal management reporting.
Included in the Specialty Metal Formed Products segment are sales to one
customer of $184 million, $156 million and $155 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively; sales to another customer, attributed mainly to the Specialty
Metal Formed Products segment, of $140 million and $232 million in 1997 and
1996, respectively; sales to a third customer, attributed mainly to the
Specialty Metal Formed Products segment, of $79 million and $146 million in 1997
and 1996, respectively; and sales to a fourth customer, attributed mainly to the
Specialty Metal Formed Products segment, of $62 million and $122 million in 1997
and 1996, respectively. Specialty Metal Formal Products' operating profit for
1997 was reduced by $17 million of nonrecurring charges.
The Company's export sales approximated $142 million, $71 million and $75
million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Intersegment transactions represent principally transactions occurring in
the ordinary course of business.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the following methods
were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
MARKETABLE SECURITIES, NOTES RECEIVABLE AND OTHER ASSETS
Fair values of financial instruments included in marketable securities,
notes receivable and other assets were estimated using various methods including
quoted market prices and discounted future cash flows based on the incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of investments. In addition, for variable-rate
notes receivable that fluctuate with the prime rate, the carrying amounts
approximate fair value.
LONG-TERM DEBT
The carrying amount of bank debt and certain other long-term debt
instruments approximate fair value as the floating rates inherent in this debt
reflect changes in overall market interest rates. The fair values of the
Company's subordinated debt instruments are based on quoted market prices. The
fair values of certain other debt instruments are estimated by discounting
future cash flows based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate for similar
types of debt instruments.
DERIVATIVES
The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments,
and does not use derivatives for trading purposes. The derivatives, principally
consisting of S&P futures contracts and interest rate swap agreements, are
intended to reduce the market risk associated with the Company's marketable
equity securities portfolio and floating rate debt.
The Company's investment in S&P futures contracts increases in value as a
result of decreases in the underlying index and decreases in value when the
underlying index increases. The contracts are financial instruments (with
off-balance sheet market risk), as they are required to be settled in cash. The
Company's market risk is subject to the price differential between the contract
market value and contract cost. The average monthly notional amount of S&P
futures contracts in 1997 was approximately $17 million. Futures contracts trade
on organized exchanges, and as a result, settlement of such contracts has little
credit risk.
40
<PAGE> 42
MASCOTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Initial margin requirements are met in cash or other instruments, and changes in
the contract values are settled periodically. Initial margin requirements are
recorded as cash investments in the balance sheet. Futures contracts are
short-term in nature, usually less than six months. There were no contracts
outstanding at December 31, 1998 or 1997.
Interest rate swap agreements covering a notional amount of $400 million of
the Company's floating rate debt were entered into in 1998 at an aggregate
interest rate of approximately seven percent including the current borrowing
spread under the Company's revolving credit agreement. The fair value of the
swap agreements was not recognized in the consolidated financial statements
since they are accounted for as hedges of the floating rate exposure. These swap
agreements expire at various dates in 2000 to 2007.
The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, based on
current market rates, approximated a net payable of $11 million at December 31,
1998. Exposure to credit loss could occur when the fair value of the agreements
is a net receivable.
The interest rate swaps are with major banks of high credit quality;
therefore, the risk of non-performance by the counterparties is considered to be
negligible.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments
at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

In January 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of TriMas
Corporation ("TriMas") by purchasing all the outstanding shares of TriMas not
already owned by the Company for approximately $920 million. The results for
1998 reflect TriMas sales and operating results from the date of acquisition.
Results for first quarter 1998 benefitted from pre-tax gains aggregating
approximately $12 million which resulted from partial recognition of a deferred
gain related to the 1997 divestiture of a business and gains from the Company's
marketable securities portfolio.
Second quarter results for 1998 were impacted by the charge (approximately
$41 million pre-tax) principally related to the disposition of certain
businesses. This charge more than offset the gain (approximately $25 million
pre-tax) related to additional consideration received by the Company in the
second quarter of 1998 resulting from the disposition of MascoTech Stamping
Technologies, Inc. ("MSTI") in 1996.
Results for the first and fourth quarters 1997 include pre-tax gains of
approximately $13 million and $5 million, respectively, as a result of equity
transactions by affiliates of the Company.
Results for the first, second, third and fourth quarters 1997 include
pre-tax marketable securities gains (losses) of approximately $5.0 million, $4.0
million, $4.4 million and $(.3) million, respectively.

MASCOTECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Results for the third quarter 1997 include a pre-tax gain of approximately
$46 million related to the transfer of the Company's equity holdings in Emco
Limited to Masco Corporation. This gain was partially offset by pre-tax costs
approximating $14 million associated with a plant closure and the Company's
share of a special charge recorded by an equity affiliate and other expenses.
Results for the fourth quarter 1997 include approximately $5 million
pre-tax of additional consideration earned from the sale of MSTI, which was sold
in the second quarter 1996.
Results for the fourth quarter 1997 were negatively impacted by charges
aggregating approximately $10 million pre-tax principally related to severance,
the Company's share of a charge recorded by an equity affiliate, write-off of
deferred charges and loss on disposition of fixed assets.
The 1998 and 1997 income (loss) per common share amounts for the quarters
may not total to the full year amounts due to the purchase and retirement of
shares throughout the year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors
of MascoTech, Inc.:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of TriMas Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1997 as listed in Item 14(a)(2)(ii) of this Form 10-K. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TriMas
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, substantially all the
outstanding shares of the Company not already owned by MascoTech, Inc. were
acquired by them in January 1998. The Company is now a wholly owned subsidiary
of MascoTech, Inc.

TRIMAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TriMas
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
AFFILIATES
As of December 31, 1997 MascoTech, Inc.'s common stock ownership in the
Company approximated 36.8 percent (see "Subsequent Event" note), and Masco
Corporation's common stock ownership approximated 3.8 percent. The Company has a
corporate services agreement with Masco Corporation. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company pays a fee to Masco Corporation for various corporate
support staff, administrative services, and research and development services.
Such fee equals .8 percent of the Company's net sales, subject to certain
adjustments, and totaled $4.0 million, $3.3 million and $3.1 million in 1997,
1996 and 1995.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1997
the Company had $81.4 million invested in prime commercial paper of several
United States issuers having the highest rating given by one of the two
principal rating agencies.
RECEIVABLES
Receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.0
million and $1.9 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with
cost determined principally by use of the first-in, first-out method.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment additions, including significant betterments, are
recorded at cost. Upon retirement or disposal of property and equipment, the
cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or
loss is included in income. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense
as incurred.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation is computed principally using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets. Annual depreciation rates are as
follows: buildings and land improvements, 2 1/2 to 5 percent, and machinery and
equipment, 6 2/3 to 33 1/3 percent. The excess of cost over net assets of
acquired companies is
F-7
<PAGE> 57
TRIMAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
being amortized using the straight-line method over the periods estimated to be
benefited, not exceeding 40 years. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, accumulated
amortization of the excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies and
other intangible assets was $42.7 million and $36.6 million. Amortization
expense was $6.1 million, $5.3 million and $5.0 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995.
As of each balance sheet date management assesses whether there has been an
impairment in the value of excess of cost over net assets of acquired companies
by comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from the related
operating activities with the carrying value. The factors considered by
management in performing this assessment include current operating results,
trends and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand,
competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no
impairment at December 31, 1997.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of financial instruments classified in the balance
sheet as current assets and current liabilities approximate fair values. The
fair value of notes receivable, a portion of which is included in both
receivables and other assets, based on discounted cash flows using current
interest rates, approximates the carrying value of $7.8 million at December 31,
1997.
The carrying amount of borrowings from banks approximates fair value as the
floating rates applicable to this debt generally reflect changes in overall
market interest rates.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Net assets of the Company's operations outside of the United States are
translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates with the effects of
translation adjustments deferred and included as a separate component of
shareholders' equity. Revenues, expenses and cash flows are translated at the
average rates of exchange during the period.
NOTE 2. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On December 17, 1997 MascoTech Inc.("MascoTech"), through its wholly owned
subsidiary MascoTech Acquisition, Inc.("MascoTech Acquisition"), commenced a
tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company not already
owned by MascoTech. The tender offer was made in accordance with the terms of a
merger agreement between the Company, MascoTech and MascoTech Acquisition. The
tender offer expired on January 16, 1998 after approximately 95 percent of the
Company's outstanding shares not owned by MascoTech had been tendered. On
January 22, 1998 MascoTech Acquisition made payment on the tendered shares and
was merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a private

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS
During 1996 the Company acquired Queensland Towbars Pty. Ltd., The Englass
Group Limited, Heinrich Stolz GmbH and Beaumont Bolt & Gasket Co., all for an
aggregate $54.2 million of cash and assumed liabilities. The acquisitions were
accounted for as purchases. The aggregate excess of cost over net assets
acquired of $28.8 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included
in the consolidated financial statements from the respective acquisition dates.
During 1997 the Company paid $11.3 million to the former owners of
businesses acquired in previous years, including $7.0 million to MascoTech, Inc.
These payments resulted from the acquired businesses having achieved specified
levels of profitability during designated periods subsequent to the acquisition.
These payments were recorded as additional excess of cost over net assets of
acquired companies and are being amortized over the remainder of the original 40
year amortization period.

NOTE 10. STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS
The Company's stock incentive plans include the TriMas Corporation 1995
Long Term Stock Incentive Plan, the 1988 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan and the
1988 Stock Option Plan. Company common stock available for grant under these
plans includes the 2,000,000 shares initially established under the 1995 plan,
plus additional shares resulting from certain reacquisitions of shares by the
Company.
The Company granted long-term incentive awards of Company common stock,
net, for 64,815 shares in 1997, 159,071 shares in 1996 and 290,588 shares in
1995, to key employees of the Company. The weighted average fair value per
share, on date of grant, of long-term incentive awards granted in 1997, 1996 and
1995 was $24.15, $19.66 and $23.21. Compensation expense recorded in 1997, 1996
and 1995 related to long-term incentive awards was $2.4 million, $2.2 million
and $1.6 million. The unamortized costs of incentive awards, aggregating $13.2
million at December 31, 1997, are being amortized over the vesting periods,
which are typically ten years.
Fixed stock options are granted to key employees of the Company and have a
maximum term of ten years. The exercise price of each fixed option equals the
market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. The options
generally vest in installments beginning in the second year and extending
through the eighth year after grant. For the three years ended December 31, 1997
stock option information is as follows:

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for stock based compensation.
Accordingly, no compensation expense has been charged against income for fixed
stock option grants. Had compensation expense been determined based on the fair
value at the 1997, 1996 and 1995 grant dates, consistent with the methodology of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, the pro forma effect on the Company's net income would not have
been material.
At December 31, 1997 and 1996, a combined total of 1,952,669 and 2,011,642
shares of Company common stock were available for the granting of options and
incentive awards under the aforementioned plans.

Contributions to profit-sharing and other defined contribution plans are
generally determined as a percentage of the covered employee's annual salary.
Defined benefit plans provide retirement benefits for salaried employees
based primarily on years of service and average earnings for the five highest
consecutive years of compensation. Defined benefit plans covering hourly
employees generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service.
These plans are funded based on an actuarial evaluation and review of the
assets, liabilities and requirements of each plan. Plan assets are held by a
trustee and invested principally in cash equivalents and marketable equity and
fixed income instruments.
Net periodic pension cost of defined benefit plans includes the following
components:

The Company provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits
for certain eligible retired employees under unfunded plans. Some of the plans
have cost-sharing provisions. Net periodic postretirement benefit costs during
1997, 1996 and 1995 were $1.0 million, $1.0 million and $.8 million.
The aggregate accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of these
unfunded plans was $4.4 million and $7.1 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996.
The discount rates used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligations and the net periodic postretirement benefit costs were 7.25 percent,
7.5 percent and 7.25 percent in 1997, 1996 and 1995. The assumed health care
cost trend rate in 1997 was nine percent, decreasing to an ultimate rate in the
years subsequent to 2006 of five percent. A one percent increase in the assumed
health care cost trend rates would have increased the net periodic
postretirement benefit cost by $.1 million during 1997 and would have increased
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1997 by $.5
million. The Company is amortizing the unrecognized transition accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation and subsequent plan net gains and losses in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106. The accrued
postretirement benefit obligation was $4.1 million and $3.5 million at December
31, 1997 and 1996.

EXHIBIT 3.i
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
MascoTech, Inc.
* * * * *
MascoTech, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under
the Laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), hereby certifies
as follows:
FIRST: The name of the Company is MascoTech, Inc. The name
under which the Company was originally incorporated is "Masco
Industries, Inc." and the date of filing its original Certificate
of Incorporation with the Secretary of State was March 15, 1984.
SECOND: This Restated Certificate of Incorporation only
restates and integrates and does not further amend the provisions
of the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation as
heretofore amended or supplemented and there is no discrepancy
between those provisions and the provisions of this Restated
Certificate of Incorporation.
THIRD: The text of the Certificate of Incorporation as
amended or supplemented heretofore is hereby restated without
further amendments or changes to read as herein set forth in full:
1. The name of the corporation is:
MascoTech, Inc.
2. The address of its registered office in the State of
Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, in the
City of Wilmington, County of New Castle 19801. The name of its
registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.
3. The nature of the business or purpose to be conducted or
promoted is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which
corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of
Delaware.
4. The total number of shares of stock the corporation shall
have authority to issue is two hundred seventy-five million
(275,000,000) shares.
<PAGE> 2
Two hundred fifty million (250,000,000) of such shares shall consist of
common shares, par value one dollar ($1.00) per share, and twenty-five million
(25,000,000) of such shares shall consist of preferred shares, par value one
dollar ($1.00) per share. The designations and the powers, preferences and
rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as
follows:
A. Each share of common stock shall be equal in all respects to all
other shares of such stock, and each share of outstanding common stock is
entitled to one vote.
B. Each share of preferred stock shall have or not have voting rights
as determined by the Board of Directors prior to issuance.
Dividends on all outstanding shares of preferred stock must be declared and
paid, or set aside for payment, before any dividends can be declared and paid,
or set aside for payment, on the shares of common stock with respect to the same
dividend period.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the preferred
stock shall be entitled, before any assets of the Company shall be distributed
among or paid over to the holders of the common stock, to an amount per share to
be determined before issuance by the Board of Directors, together with a sum of
money equivalent to the amount of any dividends declared thereon and remaining
unpaid at the date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company. After the making of such payments to the holders of the preferred
stock, the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed among the
holders of the common stock alone, according to the number of shares held by
each. If, upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of the
Company distributable as aforesaid among the holders of the preferred stock
shall be insufficient to permit the payment to them of said amount, the entire
assets shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the preferred stock.
The Board of Directors shall have authority to divide the shares of
preferred stock into series and fix, from time to time before issuance, the
number of shares to be included in any series and the designation, relative
rights, preferences and limitations of all shares of such series. The authority
of the Board of Directors with respect to each series shall include the
determination of any or all of the following, and the shares of each series may
<PAGE> 3
vary from the shares of any other in the following
respects: (a) the number of shares constituting such series and
the designation thereof to distinguish the shares of such series
from the shares of all other series; (b) the rate of dividend,
cumulative or noncumulative, and the extent of further
participation in dividend distribution, if any; (c) the prices at
which issued (at not less than par) and the terms and conditions
upon which the shares may be redeemable by the Company; (d)
sinking fund provisions for the redemption or purchase of shares;
(e) the voting rights; and (f) the terms and conditions upon which
the shares are convertible into other classes of stock of the
Company, if such shares are to be convertible.
C. No holder of any class of stock issued by this
Company shall be entitled to pre-emptive rights.
D. The number of authorized shares of each class of
stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number
of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of
the holders of a majority of the stock of the Company entitled
to vote, voting together as a single class.
5. (a) The business and affairs of the Company shall be
managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors
consisting of not less than five nor more than twelve directors,
the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by
resolution adopted by affirmative vote of a majority of the entire
Board of Directors. The directors shall be divided into three
classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class
shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the
total number of directors constituting the entire Board of
Directors. At the 1988 Annual Meeting of stockholders, Class I
directors shall be elected for a one-year term, Class II directors
for a two-year term and Class III directors for a three-year term.
At each succeeding Annual Meeting of stockholders beginning in
1989, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at
that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the
number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be
apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of
directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any
additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy
resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a
term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but
in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the
term of any
<PAGE> 4
incumbent director. A director shall hold office until the annual meeting for
the year in which his term expires and until his successor shall be elected and
shall qualify, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement or
removal from office. Except as otherwise required by law, any vacancy on the
Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors
shall be filled only by a majority of the Board of Directors then in office,
provided that a quorum is present, and any other vacancy occurring in the Board
of Directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office,
even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director
elected to fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of
directors shall serve for the remaining term of his predecessor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more
classes or series of preferred stock or any other class of stock issued by the
Company shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect
directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of
office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be
governed by the terms of the Certificate of Designation with respect to such
stock, such directors so elected shall not be divided into classes pursuant to
this Article 5, and the number of such directors shall not be counted in
determining the maximum number of directors permitted under the foregoing
provisions of this Article 5, in each case unless expressly provided by such
terms.
(b) Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board of
Directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors.
Any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors, however, may
nominate one or more persons for election as director only if written notice of
such stockholder's intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given
either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
Secretary of the Company not later than (i) with respect to an election to be
held at an Annual Meeting of stockholders, 45 days in advance of the date on
which the Company's proxy statement was released to stockholders in connection
with the previous year's Annual Meeting of stockholders and (ii) with respect to
an election to be held at a special meeting of stockholders for the election of
directors, the close of business on the seventh day following the day on which
notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders. Each such notice shall
include:
<PAGE> 5
(A) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make
the nomination or nominations and of the person or persons to be
nominated; (B) a representation that the stockholder is a holder
of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting
and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to
nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (C) a
description of all arrangements or understandings between such
stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons
(naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or
nominations is or are to be made by the stockholder; (D) such
other information regarding each nominee proposed by such
stockholder as would have been required to be included in a proxy
statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission if the nominee had been nominated by the Board
of Directors; and (E) the written consent of each nominee to serve
as a director of the Company if elected. The chairman of any
meeting of stockholders may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of
any person if not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate
of Incorporation or the by-laws (and notwithstanding the fact that
a lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of
Incorporation or the by-laws), and in addition to any affirmative
vote required by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 80% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of
the Company entitled to vote, voting together as a single class,
shall be required to amend, adopt in this Certificate of
Incorporation or in the by-laws any provision inconsistent with, or
repeal this Article 5.
6. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the
stockholders of the Company must be effected at a duly called
annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected
by any consent in writing by any such holders. Except as
otherwise required by law, special meetings of stockholders of the
Company may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the
President or a majority of the Board of Directors, subject to the
rights of holders of any one or more classes or series of preferred
stock or any other class of stock issued by the Company which shall
have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect
directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate
of Incorporation or the by-laws (and notwithstanding that a lesser
percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of
Incorporation or the by-laws), and in addition to any
<PAGE> 6
affirmative vote required by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 80% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company
entitled to vote, voting together as single class, shall be required to amend,
adopt in this Certificate of Incorporation or in the by-laws any provision
inconsistent with, or repeal this Article 6.
7. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by
statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized: To make, alter or
repeal the by-laws of the Company. To authorize and cause to be executed
mortgages and liens upon the real and personal property of the Company. To set
apart out of any of the funds of the Company available for dividends a reserve
or reserves for any proper purpose and to abolish any such reserve in the manner
in which it was created. When and as authorized by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding having voting power
given at a stockholders' meeting duly called for that purpose, to sell, lease or
exchange all of the property and assets of the Company, including its good will
and its corporate franchises, upon such terms and conditions and for such
consideration, which may be in whole or in part shares of stock in, and/or other
securities of, any other corporation or corporations, as its Board of Directors
shall deem expedient and for the best interests of the Company.
8. The private property of the stockholders shall not be subject to the
payment of corporate debts to any extent whatever.
9. Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Company
and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Company and its
stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within
the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Company or
of any creditor or stockholder thereof, or on the application of any receiver or
receivers appointed for the Company under the provisions of Section 279 of Title
8 of the Delaware Code, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors,
and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Company, as the case
may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority
in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of
creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Company,
as
<PAGE> 7
the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any
reorganization of the Company as consequence of such compromise or arrangement,
the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if
sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding
on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or
class of stockholders, of the Company, as the case may be, and also on the
Company.
10. Meetings of stockholders may be held outside the State of Delaware, if
the bylaws so provide. The books of the Company may be kept (subject to any
provision contained in the statutes) outside the State of Delaware at such place
or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in
the bylaws of the Company. Elections of Directors need not be by ballot unless
the bylaws of the Company shall so provide.
11. The Company reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any
provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or
hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders
herein are granted subject to this reservation.
12. A. The affirmative vote of the holders of 95% of all shares of stock
of the Company entitled to vote in elections of directors, considered for the
purposes of this Article 12 as one class, shall be required for the adoption or
authorization of a business combination (as hereinafter defined) with any other
entity (as hereinafter defined) if, as of the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to notice thereof and to vote thereon, such other
entity is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the
outstanding shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote in elections of
directors considered for the purposes of this Article 12 as one class; provided
that such 95% voting requirement shall not be applicable if:
(a) The cash, or fair market value of other consideration, to be
received per share by common stockholders of the Company in such business
combination bears the same or a greater percentage relationship to the
market price of the Company's common stock immediately prior to the
announcement of such business combination as the highest per share price
(including brokerage commissions and soliciting dealers' fees) which such
other entity has theretofore
<PAGE> 8
paid for any of the shares of the Company's common stock already owned by
it bears to the market price of the common stock of the Company immediately
prior to the commencement of acquisition of the Company's common stock by
such other entity;
(b) The cash, or fair market value of other consideration, to be
received per share by common stockholders of the Company in such business
combination: (i) is not less than the highest per share price (including
brokerage commissions and soliciting dealers' fees) paid by such other
entity in acquiring any of its holdings of the Company's common stock, and
(ii) is not less than the earnings per share of common stock of the Company
for the four full consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding the
record date for solicitation of votes on such business combination,
multiplied by the then price/earnings multiple (if any) of such other
entity as customarily computed and reported in the financial community;
(c) After such other entity has acquired a 30% interest and prior to
the consummation of such business combination: (i) such other entity shall
have taken steps to ensure that the Company's Board of Directors included
at all times representation by continuing director(s) (as hereinafter
defined) proportionate to the stockholdings of the Company's public common
stockholders not affiliated with such other entity (with a continuing
director to occupy any resulting fractional board position); (ii) there
shall have been no reduction in the rate of dividends payable on the
Company's common stock except as necessary to insure that a quarterly
dividend payment does not exceed 5% of the net income of the Company for
the four full consecutive fiscal quarters immediately preceding the
declaration date of such dividend, or except as may have been approved by a
unanimous vote of the directors; (iii) such other entity shall not have
acquired any newly issued shares of stock, directly or indirectly, from the
Company (except upon conversion of convertible securities acquired by it
prior to obtaining a 30% interest or as a result of a pro rata stock
dividend or stock split); and (iv) such other entity shall not have
acquired any additional shares of the Company's outstanding common stock or
securities convertible into common stock except as
<PAGE> 9
a part of the transaction which results in such other entity acquiring its
30% interest;
(d) Such other entity shall not have (i) received the benefit,
directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder) of any
loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or tax
credits of or provided by the Company, or (ii) made any major change in the
Company's business or equity capital structure without the unanimous
approval of the directors, in either case prior to the consummation of such
business combination.
(e) A proxy statement responsive to the requirements of the United
States securities laws shall be mailed to all common stockholders of the
Company for the purpose of soliciting stockholder approval of such business
combination and shall contain on its first page thereof, in a prominent
place, any recommendations as to the advisability (or inadvisability) of
the business combination which the continuing directors, or any of them,
may choose to state and, if deemed advisable by a majority of the
continuing directors, an opinion of a reputable investment banking firm as
to the fairness (or not) of the terms of such business combination, from
the point of view of the remaining public stockholders of the Company (such
investment banking firm to be selected by a majority of the continuing
directors and to be paid a reasonable fee for their services by the Company
upon receipt of such opinion).
The provisions of this Article 12 shall also apply to a business
combination with any other entity which at any time has been the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of 30% or more the outstanding shares of stock of
the Company entitled to vote in elections of directors considered for the
purposes of this Article 12 as one class, notwithstanding the fact that such
other entity has reduced its shareholdings below 30% if, as of the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote on the
business combination, such other entity is an "affiliate" of the Company (as
hereinafter defined).
B. As used in this Article 12, (a) the term "other entity" shall include
any corporation, person or other entity and any other entity with which it or
its "affiliate" or "associate" (as defined below) has any agreement, arrangement
or understanding, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of acquiring, holding,
voting or disposing of stock of the
<PAGE> 10
Company, or which is its "affiliate" or"associate" as
those terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 of the General
Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as
in effect on March 31, 1984, together with the successors and
assigns of such persons in any transaction or series of
transactions not involving a public offering of the Company's stock
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933; provided,
however, that an "other entity" shall not in any event include any
entity owning 30% or more of the outstanding shares of stock of the
Company entitled to vote in the elections of directors considered
for purposes of this Article 12 as one class at the time of the
adoption of this Article 12, any subsidiary of such entity, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of such entity if (i) such
business as conducted immediately prior to such succession is,
immediately after such succession, the sole business of such
successor, and (ii) the stockholders of the corporation conducting
such business immediately prior to such succession are, immediately
after such succession, the sole stockholders of the successor
corporation or of a corporation owning all of the capital stock of
such successor corporation; (b) an other entity shall be deemed to
be the beneficial owner of any shares of stock of the Company which
the other entity (as defined above) has the right to acquire
pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon
exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise;
(c) the outstanding shares of any class of stock of the Company
shall include shares deemed owned through application of clause;
(b) above but shall not include any other shares which may be
issuable pursuant to any agreement, or upon exercise of conversion
rights, warrants or options, or otherwise; (d) the term "business
combination" shall include any merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into any other entity, or the sale or lease of all
or any substantial part of the assets of the Company to, or any
sale or lease to the Company or any subsidiary thereof in exchange
for securities of the Company of any assets (except assets having
an aggregate fair market value of less than $5,000,000) of, any
other entity; (e) the term "continuing director" shall mean a
person who was a member of the Board of Directors of the Company
elected by stockholders prior to the time that such other entity
acquired in excess of 10% of the stock of the Company entitled to
vote in the election of directors, or a person recommended to
succeed a continuing director by a majority of continuing
directors; and (f) for the purposes of subparagraphs A(a) and (b)
of this Article 12 the
<PAGE> 11
term "other consideration to be received" shall mean,
in addition to other consideration received, if any,
capital stock of the Company retained by its existing public
stockholders in the event of a business combination with such other
entity in which the Company is the surviving corporation; and (g)
the exclusion of an entity from constituting an "other entity"
under subparagraph B(a) of this Article 12 shall only continue to
be effective if such entity does not thereafter decrease such
ownership percentage to less than 30% (other than through the
Company's issuance of its capital stock) and subsequently reacquire
such a 30% interest and provided that, upon any such decrease and
subsequent reacquisition, such entity shall be deemed for purposes
of this Article 12 to have first become an "other entity" and to
first have acquired capital stock of the Company on the date of
such reacquisition.
C. A majority of the continuing directors shall have the
power and duty to determine for the purposes of this Article 12 on
the basis of information known to them whether (a) such other
entity beneficially owns 30% or more of the outstanding shares of
stock of the Company entitled to vote in elections of directors;
(b) an other entity is an "affiliate" or "associate" (as defined
above) of another; (c) an other entity has an agreement,
arrangement or understanding with another; or (d) the assets being
acquired by the Company, or any subsidiary thereof, have an
aggregate fair market value of less than $5,000,000.
D. No amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company shall amend or repeal any of the provisions of this Article
12, unless the amendment effecting such amendment or repeal shall
receive the affirmative vote of the holders of 95% of all shares of
stock of the corporation entitled to vote in elections of
directors, considered for the purposes of this Article 12 as one
class; provided that this paragraph D shall not apply to, and such
95% vote shall not be required for, any amendment or repeal
unanimously recommended to the stockholders by the Board of
Directors of the Company if all of such directors are persons who
would be eligible to serve as "continuing directors" within the
meaning of paragraph B of this Article 12.
E. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be construed to
relieve any other entity from any fiduciary obligation imposed by
law.
<PAGE> 12
13. A director of the Company shall not be personally
liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (a)
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or
its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or
(d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. If the Delaware General Corporation Law
hereafter is amended to authorize the further limitation or
elimination of the liability of directors, then the liability of a
director of the Company, in addition to the limitation on liability
provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted
by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended. Any repeal or
modification of this Article 13 shall not increase the liability of
any director of the Company for any act or occurrence taking place
prior to such repeal or modification, or otherwise adversely affect
any right or protection of a director of the Company existing at
the time of such repeal or modification.
14. A. Each person who was or is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was
a director, officer or employee of the Company, whether the basis
of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a
director, officer or employee or in any other capacity while
serving as a director, officer, or employee, shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only
to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide
broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the company
to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability
and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and
such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased
to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the
benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators. The
Company shall indemnify a director, officer or employee in
connection with an action, suit or proceeding (other than an
action, suit or proceeding to enforce indemnification rights
provided for
<PAGE> 13
herein or elsewhere) initiated by such Director,
officer or employee only if such action, suit or proceeding was
authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification
conferred in this Paragraph A shall be a contract right and shall
include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred
in defending any action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final
disposition; provided, however, that, if the Delaware General
Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by
a director or officer in such person's capacity as a director or
officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is
rendered by such person) in advance of the final disposition of an
action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the
Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or
officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined by final judicial decision from which there is no
further right to appeal that such director or officer is not
entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article 14
or otherwise.
B. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to
time by the Board of Directors, provide indemnification and the
advancement of expenses, to any agent of the Company and to any
person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to such
extent and to such effect as the Board of Directors shall determine
to be appropriate and permitted by applicable law, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended.
C. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of
expenses conferred in this Article 14 shall not be exclusive of any
other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under
any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or
bylaws of the Company, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.
FOURTH: This Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly
adopted by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 245 of
the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

the Indenture pursuant to the last sentence of Section 13.01);
(9) if other than denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof, the

Indenture).
All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except

provided in or pursuant to such resolution of the Board of Directors or in any
such indenture supplemental hereto.
SECTION 2.04. Authentication and Delivery. At any time and from time to
time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may
deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said
Securities to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by its Chairman
of the Board of Directors, President, any Vice President, its Treasurer or
Assistant Treasurer or its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary without any
further action by the Company hereunder. In authenticating such Securities,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 8.01 and
8.02) shall be fully protected in relying upon:
(1) a copy of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors
relating thereto and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken
pursuant to such resolution, in each case certified by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Company;
(2) an executed supplemental indenture, if any;
(3) an Officers' Certificate prepared in accordance with Section 15.05
setting forth the form and terms of the Securities as required pursuant to
Sections 2.01 and 2.03, respectively; and
(4) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 15.05
which shall also state
(a) that the form of such Securities has been established by or
pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a
supplemental indenture as permitted by Section 2.01 in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;
(b) that the terms of such Securities have been established by or
pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors or by a
supplemental indenture as permitted by Section 2.03 in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;
(c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute
valid and legally binding obligations of the Company;
<PAGE> 18
10
(d) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and
delivery by the Company of the Securities have been complied with
and that authentication and delivery of the Securities by the
Trustee will not violate the terms of this Indenture; and
(e) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.
The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver
any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good
faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust
committee of directors or trustees and/or vice presidents shall determine that
such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing holders.
SECTION 2.05. Date and Denomination of Securities. The Securities shall
be issuable as registered Securities without coupons and in such denominations
as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of any
such specification with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities
of such series shall be issuable in the denominations of $1,000 and any
multiple thereof. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise
distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plans as the officers
of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the
Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof.
Every Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, shall bear
interest from such date and shall be payable on such dates, in each case, as
contemplated by Section 2.03.
The person in whose name any Security of any series is registered at the
close of business on any record date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to
any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on
such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Security
upon any transfer, exchange or conversion subsequent to the record date and
prior to such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the
extent 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 on a subsequent record date
established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the
holders of Securities and the Trustee not less than 15 days preceding such
subsequent record date, such subsequent record date to be not less than ten
days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. The term "record
date" as used in this Section with respect to any interest payment date shall
mean if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month, the
fifteenth day of the next preceding calendar month and shall mean, if such
interest payment date is the fifteenth
<PAGE> 19
11
day of a calendar month, the first day of such calendar month, whether or not
such record date is a business day.
SECTION 2.06. Execution of Securities. The Securities shall be signed in
the name and on behalf of the Company by the facsimile signature of its Chairman
of the Board or its President and imprinted with a facsimile of its corporate
seal, and attested by the facsimile signature of its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary. Each such signature upon the Securities may be in the form of a
facsimile signature of any such officer and may be imprinted or otherwise
reproduced on the Securities and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use
the facsimile signature of any person who has been or is such officer, and in
case any such officer of the Company signing any of the Securities shall cease
to be such officer before the Securities so signed shall have been authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such securities
nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though such
person had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Only such Securities
as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent upon any
Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security
so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that
the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.07. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Securities.
Securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount
of Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Securities
to be exchanged may be surrendered at the principal office of the Trustee or at
any office or agency to be maintained by the Company for such purpose as
provided in Section 5.02, and the Company or the Trustee shall execute and
register and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Securityholder
making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. Upon due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the principal office
of the Trustee or at any office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose as provided in Section 5.02, the Company or the Trustee shall execute
and register and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or
Securities of the same series for a like aggregate principal amount.
Registration or registration of transfer of any Security by the Trustee or by
any agent of the Company appointed pursuant to Section 5.02, and delivery of
such Security, shall be deemed to complete the registration or registration of
transfer of such Security.
<PAGE> 20
12
The Company or the Trustee shall keep, at the principal office of the
Trustee, a register for each series of Securities issued hereunder in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company or the
Trustee shall register all Securities and shall register the transfer of all
Securities as in this Article Two provided. Such register shall be in written
form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a
reasonable time.
All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange or
payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent duly executed by, the holder or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith.
The Company or the Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register
a transfer of (a) any Security of a series for a period of 15 days next
preceding the date of selection of Securities of such series for redemption,
or (b) any Securities of any series selected, called or being called for
redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Securities of
any series to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.
SECTION 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. In case
any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Company in the case of a mutilated Security shall, and in
the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Security may in its discretion, execute,
and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security
of the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in
exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in
substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the
applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant
shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.
The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the
same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company.
Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient
<PAGE> 21
13
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses connected therewith an in additional further sum
not exceeding two dollars for each Security so issued in substitution. In case
any Security which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for
redemption in full shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the
payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated
Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory
to the Company and to the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such
Security and of the ownership thereof.
Every substituted Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 2.08 by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed,
lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at
any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly
issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express
condition that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all
other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of
negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.
SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series the Company may execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed or lithographed).
Temporary Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and
substantially in the form of the definitive Securities but with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as
may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Security shall be
executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same
conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as
the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Company will execute
and deliver to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent definitive Securities and
thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in
exchange therefor, at the principal office of the Trustee or at any office or
agency maintained by the Company for such purpose as provided in Section 5.02,
and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange for such temporary Securities a like aggregate principal amount of such
definitive Securities. Such exchange shall be made by the Company
<PAGE> 22
14
at its own expense and without any charge therefor except that in case of any
such exchange involving a registration of transfer the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series authenticated
and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.10. Cancellation of Securities Paid, etc. All Securities
surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of
transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be
surrendered to the Trustee and promptly cancelled by it, or, if surrendered to
the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent, shall be promptly cancelled by it, and
no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by
any of the provisions of this Indenture. All Securities cancelled by any
Authenticating Agent shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall
destroy cancelled Securities and shall deliver a certificate of such destruction
to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, however,
such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.
ARTICLE THREE.
Conversion of Securities.
SECTION 3.01. Conversion Privilege. Subject to and upon compliance with
the provisions of this Article Three, the holder of any Convertible Security
shall have the right, at his option, at any date on or subsequent to which such
Convertible Security is convertible up to the date on which such Convertible
Security ceases to be convertible (or if such Convertible Security is called for
redemption prior to such date such Convertible Security ceases to be convertible
then, in respect of such Convertible Security, to and including but not after
the close of business on the last business day preceding the date fixed for such
redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment due upon redemption
thereof) as set forth in the resolutions or supplemental indenture relating to
such series of Convertible Securities referred to in Section 2.03 to convert the
principal amount of such Convertible Security into the whole number of fully
paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock obtained by dividing the
principal amount of the Convertible Security to be converted by the Conversion
Price for such series.
SECTION 3.02. Manner of Exercise of Conversion Privilege. In order to
exercise the conversion privilege, the holder of any Convertible Security to be
converted shall surrender such Convertible Security at the office or agency to
be maintained by
<PAGE> 23
15
the Company pursuant to Section 5.02 for the conversion of Convertible
Securities, and shall give written notice to the Company in the form provided on
the Security at such office or agency that the holder elects to convert such
Convertible Security and, if so required by the Company, accompanied by
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and to the Trustee,
duly executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney in writing.
Convertible Securities, of any series, surrendered for conversion during the
period from the close of business on any record date (as defined in Section
2.05) for the payment of interest on such series of Convertible Securities to
the opening of business on the interest payment date (as defined in Section
2.05) of such series for such interest shall (except in the case of Convertible
Securities which have been called for redemption on a redemption date within
such period) be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other
funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on
such interest payment date on the principal amount of Convertible Securities
being surrendered for conversion. Said notice shall state the name or names
(with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common
Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. As promptly
as practicable after the surrender of such Convertible Security and the receipt
of such notice, as aforesaid, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.08, issue and deliver at such office or agency to such holder, or on
his written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares
of Common Stock issuable on such conversion of Convertible Securities in
accordance with the provisions of this Article and cash, as provided in Section
3.03, in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable
upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the date (herein called the "Date
of Conversion") on which such notice shall have been received by the Company and
such Convertible Security shall have been surrendered as aforesaid, and the
person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to
have become on the Date of Conversion the holder or holders of record of the
shares represented thereby; provided, however, that any such surrender on any
date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall
constitute the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or
certificates for such shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders
thereof for all purposes at the opening of business on the next succeeding day
on which such stock transfer books are open but such conversion shall
nevertheless be at the conversion price in effect at the close of business on
the date when such Convertible Security shall have been so surrendered with the
conversion notice, and such Convertible Security shall cease to bear interest on
such date. Subject to the foregoing and to the last paragraph of Section 2.05,
no payment or adjustment shall be made upon conversion on account of any
interest accrued on any
<PAGE> 24
16
Convertible Security converted or for dividends or distributions on any shares
of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Convertible Security.
SECTION 3.03. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock
shall be issued upon conversions of Convertible Securities. If more than one
Convertible Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same
holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall
be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible
Securities so surrendered. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of
Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any
Convertible Security or Convertible Securities, the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such fractional interest to the nearest one-hundredth
of a share in an amount equal to the market value of such fractional interest on
the Date of Conversion. In such event, the market value of a share of Common
Stock shall be (i) if the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on a
national securities exchange, the closing price on the NYSE-Consolidated Tape
(or any successor composite tape reporting transactions on national securities
exchanges) or, if such a composite tape shall not be in use or shall not report
transactions in the Common Stock, the last reported sales price regular way on
the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed
or admitted to trading (which shall be the national securities exchange on which
the greatest number of shares of the Common Stock has been traded during the
preceding 30 consecutive trading days), or, if there is no transaction on any
such day in any such situation, the mean of the bid and asked prices on such day
or (ii), if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any such
exchange, the last reported sale price, if reported, or, if no sale occurs on
such date or the last reported sale price is not available, the average of the
closing bid and asked prices as reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ) or a similar source
selected from time to time by the Company for the purpose.
SECTION 3.04. Conversion Price. The Conversion Price for such series
of Convertible Securities shall be as specified in the resolution or
supplemental indenture or indentures pursuant to which such series is created
referred to in Section 2.03, subject to adjustment as provided in this Article
Three.
SECTION 3.05. Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price for
each series shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall, while any of the Convertible
Securities are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution with
respect to its Common Stock in shares of its capital stock (whether shares
of Common Stock or of capital stock of any other class), (ii) subdivide
its
<PAGE> 25
17
outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding shares
of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by
reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock
of the Company, the conversion privilege and the Conversion Price for each
series of Convertible Securities in effect immediately prior to such
action shall be adjusted so that the holder of any Convertible Security
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the
number of shares of capital stock of the Company which he would have owned
immediately following such action had such Convertible Security been
converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this
subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after
the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become effective
immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision,
combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to this subsection (a), the holder of any Convertible Security
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive
shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board
of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be
described in a resolution filed with the Trustee) shall determine the
allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price for each series of Convertible
Securities between or among shares of such classes of capital stock.
(b) In case the Company shall, while any of the Convertible
Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of
its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five
days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market
price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (d) below) on the
record date mentioned below, the Conversion Price for each series of
Convertible Securities of the Common Stock shall be adjusted so that the
same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price
for such series in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at
such current market price, and of which the denominator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common
Stock offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become
effective immediately after the record date for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.
<PAGE> 26
18
(c) In case the Company shall, while any of the Convertible
Securities are outstanding, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock
evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding any cash dividends) or
rights to subscribe or warrants (excluding those referred to in subsection
(b) above), then in each such case the Conversion Price for each series of
Convertible Securities of the Common Stock shall be adjusted so that the
same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price
for such series in effect immediately prior to the date of such
distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current
market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (d) below) of
the Common Stock on he record date mentioned below less the then fair
market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company,
whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution
filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants
applicable to one share of Common Stock, and the denominator shall be such
current market price per share of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall
become effective immediately after the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(d) For the purpose of any computation under Subdivisions (b) and
(c) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock at any date
shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the
thirty consecutive trading days commencing forty-five trading days before
the date in question. The closing price for each day shall be (i) if the
Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on a national securities
exchange, the closing price on the NYSE-Consolidated Tape (or any
successor composite tape reporting transactions on national securities
exchanges) or, if such a composite tape shall not be in use or shall not
report transactions in the Common Stock, the last reported sales price
regular way on the principal national securities exchange on which the
Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading (which shall be the national
securities exchange on which the greatest number of shares of the Common
Stock has been traded during such 30 consecutive trading days), or, if
there is no transaction on any such day in any such situation, the mean of
the bid and asked prices on such day or (ii) if the Common Stock is not
listed or admitted to trading on any such exchange, the last reported sale
price, if reported, or, if no sale occurs on such date or the last
reported sale price is not available, the average of the closing bid and
asked prices as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ) or a similar source selected from time
to time by the Company for the purpose.
<PAGE> 27
19
(e) In any case in which this Section 3.05 shall require that an
adjustment be made immediately following a record date, the Company may
elect to defer (but only until five business days following the filing by
the Company with the Trustee of the Officer's Certificate described in
subsection (g) below) issuing to the holder of any Convertible Security
converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other
capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above
the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company issuable
upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Price for the
series of Convertible Securities which such Convertible Security is a part
prior to such adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which
is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to
issue due bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such
shares.
(f) No adjustment in the Conversion Price for any series of
Convertible Securities shall be required unless such adjustment would
require in increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided,
however, that any adjustments which be reason of this subsection (f) are
not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3.05 shall
be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as
the case may be.
(g) Whenever the Conversion Price for any series of Convertible
Securities is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file
with the Trustee and each conversion agent an Officers' Certificate
setting forth the Conversion Price for such series after such adjustment
and setting forth a brief statement of the facts and calculation requiring
such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the
correctness of such adjustment and cause a notice stating that such
adjustment has been effected and the adjusted Conversion Price to be
mailed to the holders of Convertible Securities of such series at their
last addresses as they shall appear on the Securities register.
(h) The Company may make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in
addition to those required by this Section 3.05, as it considers to be
advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holder of
its Common Stock resulting from any dividend distribution of stock or
issuance or rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from
any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other
reasons.
(i) In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment made
pursuant to subsection (a) above, the holder of any Convertible Security
thereafter surrendered
<PAGE> 28
20
for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital
stock of the Company other than shares of its Common Stock, thereafter the
Conversion Price for such series of such other shares so receivable upon
conversion of any convertible Securities shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in
subsections (a) through (h) above, and the provisions of Sections 3.01
through 3.04 and of Sections 3.06 through 3.10 with respect to the Common
Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares.
SECTION 3.06. Merger, Consolidation, etc. If either of the following
shall occur, namely: (a) any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a
party, other than a consolidation or a merger in which the Company is the
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or
change (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or
from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination)
in, outstanding shares of the Common Stock, or (b) any sale or conveyance to
another corporation of the assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially
as an entirety, then the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation,
as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture providing that the holder of each Convertible Security then
outstanding shall have the right to convert such Convertible Security into the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including
cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale
or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of such Convertible Security immediately prior to such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Such
supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Article. The provisions of this Section 3.06 shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

a merger of the Company into one of its Subsidiaries solely for the
purpose of changing the corporate domicile of the Company to another state
of the United States and in connection with which there is no substantive
change in the rights or privileges of any securities of the Company other
than changes resulting from differences in the corporate statutes of the

winding up of the Company;
then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for
the purpose of conversion of the Convertible Securities pursuant to Section

to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (ii)
the date on which any such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become
effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock
of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or
other property (including cash), if any, deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
The failure to give or receive the notice required by this Section 3.07 or any

documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable to the United States of America or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in respect of

required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of
the holder of the Convertible Securities to be converted and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or
delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established,
to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.
<PAGE> 30

SECTION 3.09. Company to Provide Stock. The Company covenants that there
shall be reserved, free from pre-emptive rights, out of authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock, sufficient shares to provide for the conversion of the
Convertible Securities from time to time as such Convertible Securities are
presented for conversion.
If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion
of Convertible Securities hereunder require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or state law before such shares may be
validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Company covenants that it
will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such
registration or approval, as the case may be.
Before any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion
Price for any series of Convertible Securities below the then par value, if any,
of the Common Stock, the Company covenants that there will be taken all
corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order
that there may be validly and legally issued fully paid and non-assessable
shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued
upon conversion of Convertible Securities will upon issue be validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable and free from all liens and charges with respect
to the issue or delivery thereof.
SECTION 3.10. Disclaimer of Responsibility for Certain Matters. Neither
the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any holder of Convertible Securities to determine whether any
facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price for any
series of Convertible Securities, or with respect to the Officer's Certificate
referred to in Section 3.05(g), or with respect to the nature or extent of any
such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or
in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same.
Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be accountable with respect
to the registration, validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of
Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued
or delivered upon the conversion of any Convertible Security; and neither the
Trustee nor any conversion agent makes any representation with respect thereto.
Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be responsible for any
failure of the Company to issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock
certificates or other securities, cash or property upon the surrender of any
Convertible Security for the purpose of conversion, or, subject to Section 8.01,
to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article

SECTION 3.11. Return of Funds Deposited for Redemption of Converted
Securities. Any funds which at any time shall have been deposited by the
Company or on its behalf with the Trustee or any other paying agent for the
purpose of paying the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any of the
Convertible Securities and which shall not be required for such purposes because
of the conversion of such Convertible Securities, as provided in this Article
Three, shall forthwith after such conversion be repaid to the Company by the
Trustee or such other paying agent.
SECTION 3.12. Disposition of Converted Securities. All Convertible
Securities delivered to the Company or any conversion agent upon conversion
pursuant to this Article Three shall be delivered to the Trustee for

ARTICLE FOUR.
Subordination of Securities.
SECTION 4.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company covenants and
agrees, and each holder of Securities issued hereunder by his acceptance thereof
likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities issued hereunder shall be
issued subject to the provisions of this Article; and each person holding any
Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof,
accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. The provisions of this
Article are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and such
holders shall, at any time, be entitled to enforce such provisions against the
Company or any Securityholders.
All Securities issued hereafter shall, to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter in this Article set forth, be subordinate and junior in the right of
payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 4.02. No Payment on Securities if Senior Indebtedness in
Default. No payment on account of principal, premium, if any, sinking funds or
interest on the Securities shall be made unless full payment of amounts then due
for principal, premium, if any, sinking funds and interest on all Senior
Indebtedness has been made or duly provided for. No payment (including the
making of any deposit in trust with the Trustee in accordance with Section
13.01) on account of principal, premium, if any, sinking funds or interest on
the Securities shall be made if, at the time of such payment or immediately
after giving effect thereto, (i) there shall exist a default in the payment of
principal, premium, if any, sinking funds or interest with respect to any Senior
Indebtedness, or (ii) there shall have occurred an event of default (other than
a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, sinking funds or
interest) with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the
instrument under which the same is outstanding, permitting the holders thereof
to accelerate the maturity thereof,
<PAGE> 32
24
and such event of default shall not have been cured or waived or shall not have
ceased to exist. The foregoing provision shall not prevent the Trustee from
making payments on the Securities from monies or securities deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to the terms of Section 13.01 if at the time such deposit was
made or immediately after giving effect thereto the conditions in (i) or (ii)
of this Section did not exist.
SECTION 4.03. Priority of Senior Indebtedness. In the event of any
insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation,
reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable
Federal or state law, or other similar proceedings in connection therewith,
relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in
the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other
winding up of the Company or assignment for the benefit of creditors or any
other marshalling of assets of the Company, whether or not involving insolvency
or bankruptcy, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to
receive payment in full of all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
all Senior Indebtedness including interest on such Senior Indebtedness after the
date of filing of a petition or other action commencing such proceeding before
the holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of
the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (except that
holders of Securities shall be entitled to receive such payments from monies or
securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the terms of Section 13.01 if
at the time such deposit was made or immediately after giving effect thereto the
conditions in (i) or (ii) of Section 4.02 did not exist), and any payment or
distribution of any kind or character which may be payable or deliverable in any
such proceedings in respect of the Securities, except securities which are
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding, shall be paid by the person making such payment
or distribution directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent
necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness. In the event that any payment or distribution of cash, property
or securities shall be received by the Trustee or the holders of the Securities
in contravention of this Section before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full,
or provision made for the payment thereof, such payment or distribution shall be
held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the
trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing
any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay in full all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
<PAGE> 33
25
In the event that any Security is declared due and payable before its
expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default (under
circumstances when the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section shall
not be applicable), the holders of the Senior Indebtedness outstanding at the
time the Securities of such series so become due and payable because of such
occurrence of such an Event of Default shall be entitled to receive payment in
full of all principal of and premium, if any, interest on all Senior
Indebtedness before the holders of the Securities of such series are entitled to
receive any payment on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities of such series except that holders of Securities of
such series shall be entitled to receive payments from monies or securities
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to the terms of Section 13.01, if at the
time of such deposit no Security of such series had been declared due and
payable before its expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of
Default.
Nothing in this Section shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee under or pursuant to Section 8.06.
SECTION 4.04. Company to Give Notice of Certain Events; Reliance by
Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, any receivership, liquidation,
reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable
Federal or state law, or similar proceedings and any proceedings for voluntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company within the meaning of this
Article. The Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no such event has
occurred unless the Company or any one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or
any trustee therefor has given such notice together with proof satisfactory to
the Trustee of such holding of Senior Indebtedness or the authority of such
Trustee. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article, the Trustee, in the absence of its negligence or bad faith and
any holder of a Security shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the
receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the holders
of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to
participate in such distribution, the holders of the 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. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good
faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person
as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution
pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such person to furnish
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of
Senior Indebtedness held by such person, as to the extent to which such person
is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and as to
<PAGE> 34
26
other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Article, and if
such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such
payment.
With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes
to perform or to observe only such covenants and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations with respect
to holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee.
Nothing in this Section shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee under or pursuant to Section 8.06.
SECTION 4.05. Subrogation of Securities. Subject to the payment in full
of all Senior Indebtedness, the holders of the Securities shall be subrogate to
the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or
distributions of assets of the Company made on the Senior Indebtedness until the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be paid
in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions
to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to
which the holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for
the provisions of this Article, an no payment over pursuant to the provisions of
this Article to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by holders of the Securities
or by the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders of Securities, be deemed to be a
payment by the Company to or on account of Senior Indebtedness, and no payments
or distributions to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities of cash,
property or securities payable or distributable to the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness to which the Trustee or the holders of the Securities shall become
entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall, as between the
Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the
holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to the
holders of or on account of the Securities.
SECTION 4.06. Company Obligation to Pay Unconditional. The provisions of
this Article are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness on the one hand, and the holders of the
Securities on the other hand, and nothing herein shall impair, as between the
Company and the holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which
is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the holders thereof the principal
thereof and premium, if any, and interest thereon in accordance with the terms
of the Securities and this Indenture nor shall anything herein prevent the
holders of the Securities or the Trustee from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law or under the Securities and this Indenture upon
default under the Securities and this Indenture, subject to the
<PAGE> 35
27
rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness under the provisions of this Article to
receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the
holders of the Securities.
SECTION 4.07. Authorization of Holders of Securities to Trustee to Effect
Subordination. Each holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof authorizes
the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary to appropriate
to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article and appoints the
Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
SECTION 4.08. Notice to Trustee of Facts Prohibiting Payments.
Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article or any other provision of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall not at any time be charged with knowledge of
the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of
moneys to or by the Trustee, unless and until the Principal Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company or from one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee
therefor, together with proof satisfactory to the Trustee of such holding of
Senior Indebtedness or the authority of such Trustee, and, prior to the receipt
of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section
8.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist;
provided, that, if prior to the second business day preceding the date upon
which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or premium, if
an, or interest on any Security), the Trustee shall have not received with
respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything
herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee and any 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 on or after such day,
and provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall prevent conversions
of the Securities in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
SECTION 4.09. Trustee May Hold Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee, shall
be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any
Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other
holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the
Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
SECTION 4.10. All Indenture Provisions Subject to this Article.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, all the provisions of

SECTION 6.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Lists. (a) The Trustee
shall preserve, in as current as form as is reasonably practicable, all
information as to the names and addresses of the holders of each series of
Securities (1) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in
Section 6.01 or (2) received by it in the capacity of Securities registrar (if

furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a
Security of such series for a period of at least six months preceding the date
of such application, and such
<PAGE> 39
31
application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other holders
of Securities of such series or with holders of all Securities with respect to
their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities and is accompanied
by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants
propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall within five business days after the
receipt of such application, at its election, either:
(1) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the
time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this
Section 6.02, or
(2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of holders of
such series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses

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 Securityholder of such series or all Securities, as the case may

Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Securities and Exchange
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

Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If said
Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the
written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such
objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such
objections, said Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for
hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an
order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such
Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the
renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any
obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

ARTICLE SEVEN.
Remedies of the Trustee and Securityholders
on Event of Default.
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used
herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following
events and such other events as may be established with respect to the
Securities of that series as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof:
(a) default in the payment of interest upon any Securities of that
series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default
for a period of 30 days; or
(b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal or
(or premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series as and when the
same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption
(including redemption for the sinking fund), by declaration or otherwise;
or
(c) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of the
Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant a default in whose
performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically
dealt with and other than those set forth exclusively in terms of any
particular series of Securities established as contemplated in this
Indenture), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90
days after there has been given, by registered or
<PAGE> 43
35
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 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
(d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree
or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under
any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or
for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed
and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or
(e) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,
shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case
under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any
substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they
become due.
If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) or established
pursuant to Section 2.03 occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every
such case, unless the principal of all of 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, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal of all
the Securities of such series and the interest accrued thereon to be due and
payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (c),
(d) or (e) 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 of 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
Securityholders), may declare the entire principal of all the Securities then
outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately
due and payable.
<PAGE> 44
36
The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if,
at any time after the principal of the Securities of any series (or of all the
Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and
before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been
obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall
deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of
interest upon all the Securities of any series (or all the Securities, as the
case may be) and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Securities
of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have
become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and
premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable
under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as
the rate of interest specified in the Securities of such series, or at the
respective rates of interest of the Securities, as the case may be, to the date
of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover
reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their
respective agents, attorneys and counsel, as provided in Section 8.06, and if
any and all Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the non-payment
of the principal of or premium, if any, on Securities which shall have become
due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as
provided herein--then and in every such case the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series (or of all the
Securities, as the case may be) then outstanding, by written notice to the
Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to that series
(or with respect to all Securities, as the case may be, in such case, treated as
a single class), and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences,
but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect
any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because
of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company,
the Trustee and the holders of the Securities shall be restored respectively to
their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and
powers of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.
SECTION 7.02. Payment of Securities on Default; Suit Therefor. The
Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any
installment of interest upon any of the Securities of any series as and when the
same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a
period of 30 days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the
<PAGE> 45
37
principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Securities of any series as and
when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the
Securities of that series or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise--
then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that
then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of that series for
principal and premium, if any, or interest, or both, as the case may be, with
interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue
installments of interest at the rate of interest borne by the Securities of that
series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation
to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, as provided in Section 8.06.
In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, shall be
entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in
equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any
such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on such
Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company or any other obligor on such Securities wherever situated the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable.
In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the
reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of any
series under Title 11, United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in
case a receiver or trustee (or similar official) shall have been appointed for
the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any other
similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the
Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such
other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the
Securities of any series 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to
file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series and, in case of any
judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each
predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, as
provide in Section 8.06) and of the Securityholders allowed in such judicial
proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of
any series, or to the creditors
<PAGE> 46
38
or property of the Company or such other obligor, unless prohibited by
applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the holders of the
Securities of any series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in
arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings,
and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of its
charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to make such
payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee
such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the
Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and
counsel, as provided in Section 8.06.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Securities of any series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such
proceeding.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or
under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities, or the production thereof on any trial or
other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by
the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and
any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of all
the Securities in respect of which such action was taken.
In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings
involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders
of the Securities of the series affected thereby and it shall not be necessary
to make any such holders of the Securities parties to any such proceedings.

Section 7.03 Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys
collected by the Trustee shall be applied in the order following, at the date or
dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon
presentation of the several Securities of any series in respect of which moneys
have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid,
and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection
applicable to each such series and reasonable compensation to the Trustee,
its agents, attorneys and counsel, as provided in Section 8.06;
SECOND: In case the principal of the outstanding Securities in
respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become due and
be unpaid, to the payment of interest on the Securities of each such
series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest,
with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the
Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the respective rates
borne by the Securities of each such series, such payments to be made
ratably to the persons entitled thereto;
THIRD: In case the principal of the outstanding Securities in
respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become due, by
declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing
and unpaid upon the Securities of each such series for principal and
premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and
premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected
by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the respective
rates specified in the Securities of each such series: and in case such
moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and
unpaid upon the Securities of each such series, then to the payment of
such principal and premium, if any, and interest without preference or
priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest
over principal and premium, if any, or of any installment of interest over
any other installment of interest, or of any Security of each such series
over any other Security of each such series, ratably to the aggregate of
such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest.
Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company or to such other
person as shall be entitled to receive it.
Section 7.04. Proceedings by Securityholders. No holder of any Security
of any series shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision
of this Indenture to institute any suit,
<PAGE> 48
40
action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or with respect to this Indenture
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written
notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and
unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of that series then outstanding, or, in the case of any Event of
Default described in clause (c), (d) or (e) of Section 7.01, 25% in aggregate
principal amount of all Securities then outstanding, shall have made written
request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonably
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any
such action, suite or proceeding, it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security with every other
taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of
any 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 holder of Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of the applicable
series.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right
of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on such Security, on or after the same shall have become
due and payable, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.
SECTION 7.05. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default
hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the
rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such
rights, either by suite in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
SECTION 7.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and
remedies given by this Article Seven to the Trustee or to the Securityholders
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of
any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the
holders of the
<PAGE> 49
41
Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or
observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing
as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the
provisions of Section 7.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Seven
or by law to the trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Securityholders.
SECTION 7.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority
of Securityholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of any or all series at the time outstanding shall have the right
to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee; provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of Section 8.01)
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee shall determine that the action so directed would be unjustly
prejudicial to the holders not taking part in such direction or if the Trustee
being advised by counsel determines that the action or proceeding so directed
may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of
directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or
trustees and/or Responsible Officers shall determine that the action or
proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time outstanding may on
behalf of the holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past
default or Event of Default including any default or Event of Default
established pursuant to Section 2.03 (or, in the case of an event specified in
clause (c), (d) or (e) of Section 7.01, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of all the Securities then outstanding (voting as one class))
may waive such default or Event of Default, and its consequences except a
default (a) in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
of the Securities or (b) in respect of covenants or provisions hereof which
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Security
affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the
Securities of that series (or of all Securities, as the case may be) shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of
Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 7.07, said
default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Securities of that
series (or of all Securities, as the case may
<PAGE> 50
42
be) and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.
Section 7.08. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days
after the occurrence of a default with respect to any of the Securities of any
series mail to all Securityholders of that series, as the names and addresses of
such holders appear upon the Securities register, notice of all defaults with
respect to that series known to the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have
been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purpose
of this Section 7.08 being hereby defined to be the events specified in clauses
(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 7.01, not including periods of grace, if
any, provided for therein, and irrespective of the giving of written notice
specified in clause (c) of Section 7.01); and provided that, except in the case
of default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
any of the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the Securityholders of such series; and provided further, that in
the case of any default of the character specified in Section 7.01(c) no such
notice to Securityholders shall be given until at least 90 days after the
occurrence thereof but shall be given within 120 days after such occurrence.
Section 7.09. Undertaking to Pay 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
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 7.09 shall not apply to
any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Securityholder, or group of Securityholders of any series, holding in the
aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of that series(or
in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (c), (d) or (e) of
Section 7.01, 10% in aggregate principal amount of all Securities) outstanding,
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
against the Company on or after the same shall have become due and payable.

ARTICLE EIGHT
Concerning the Trustee
Section 8.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. With respect to
any series of Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence
of an Event of Default with respect to Securities of that series and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect
to Securities of that series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to such
series. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series
has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with respect to
such series, 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.
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
(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events
of Default with respect to that series which may have occurred
(1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to
the Securities of a series shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations with
respect to such series as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the trust of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such
certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless
it shall be proved that the
<PAGE> 52
44
Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the
direction of the Securityholders pursuant to Section 7.07, relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee, under this Indenture.
None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Section 8.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.01
(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, bond, note, debenture or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties;
(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein
specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may
be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;
(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion
of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and
in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order
or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of
this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
(e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
<PAGE> 53
45
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it
by this Indenture;
(f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall
not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, coupon or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the
holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities
of all series affected then outstanding; provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to
the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or
liability as a condition to so proceeding; and
(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents
(including any Authenticating Agent) or attorneys, and the Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any
such agent or attorney appointed by it with due care.
SECTION 8.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals
contained herein and in the Securities (except in the certificate of
authentication of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee and the Authenticating Agent assume
no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee and the
Authenticating Agent make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee and the Authenticating

Securities or the proceeds of any Securities authenticated an delivered by the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agents, Transfer
Agents, Conversion Agents or Registrar May Own Securities. The Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent or any paying agent or any transfer agent or any conversion

it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, paying agent, transfer agent,

SECTION 8.05. Moneys to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of
Section 13.04, all moneys received by the trustee or any paying agent shall,
until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purpose for
which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. The Trustee and any paying agent shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed with the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, all interest allowed, if any, on any such moneys shall be paid
from time to time upon the written order of the Company, signed by the Chairman
of the Board of Directors, the President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or
any Assistant Treasurer of the Company.
SECTION 8.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company
covenants and agrees to pay to the trustee from time to time, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for
all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
and of all persons not regularly in its employ and any amounts paid by the
Trustee to any Authenticating Agent pursuant to Section 8.14) except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith.
If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this
Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or
bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument
subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for
the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other
prior liens or encumbrances thereon. The Company also covenants to indemnify
each of the Trustee, and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold each of them
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its
duties hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending itself against
any claim of liability in the premises, except to the extent such loss,
liability or expense results from its own negligence or bad faith. The
obligations of the Company under this Section 8.06 to compensate the Trustee and
to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall
constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness
shall be secured by a claim prior to that of the Securities upon all property
and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust
for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities.
SECTION 8.07 Officers' Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.01 and 8.02, whenever in the
<PAGE> 55
47
administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a mater be proved or established prior to taking or
omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect
thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such
Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.
SECTION 8.08. Conflicting Interest of Trustee. (a) If the Trustee has or
shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section 8.08 with
respect to the Securities of 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 specified in Section 8.10.
(b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the
provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 8.08 with respect to the Securities
of any series, the Trustee shall, within 10 days after the expiration of such
90-day period, transmit notice of such failure to all holders of Securities of
that series, as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the
Securities register.
(c) For the purposes of this Section 8.08 the Trustee shall be deemed to
have a conflicting interest with respect to Securities of any series if
(1) the Trustee is trustee under this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of any other series or under another indenture under
which any other securities, or certificates of interest or
participation in any other securities, of the Company or other
obligor on the Securities of such series (each of which is hereafter
in this Section called a "Security party") are outstanding, unless
such other indenture is a collateral trust indenture under which the
only collateral consists of Securities issued under this Indenture;
provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of this
paragraph this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any other
series and any other indenture or indentures under which other
securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other
securities, of a Security party (as defined in Section 8.13), are
outstanding if (i) this Indenture is and, if applicable, this
Indenture and such other indenture or indentures are wholly
unsecured and such other indenture or indentures are hereafter
qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, unless the
Securities and Exchange Commission shall have found
<PAGE> 56
48
and declared by order pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 305 or
subsection (c) of Section 307 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
that differences exist between the provisions of this Indenture with
respect to Securities of such series and one or more other series
or, if applicable, this Indenture and the provisions of such other
indenture or indentures which are so likely to involve a material
conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest
or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from
acting as such under this Indenture and such other indenture or
indentures, or (ii) the Company shall have sustained the burden of
proving, on application to the Securities and Exchange Commission
and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that trusteeship under
this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and one or
more other series or, if applicable, this Indenture and such other
indenture or indentures is not so likely to involve a material
conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest
or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from
acting as such under this Indenture with respect to Securities of
such series and one or more other series or, if applicable, this
Indenture and one of such indentures;
(2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive
officers is an obligor upon the Securities of any series issued
under this Indenture or an underwriter for a Security party;
(3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is
directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect
common Control with a Security party or an underwriter for a
Security party;
(4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive
officers is a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee, or
representative of a Security party, or of an underwriter (other than
the Trustee itself) for a Security party who is currently engaged in
the business of underwriting, except that (A) one individual may be
a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director
and/or an executive officer of a Security party, but may not be at
the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and a
Security party; (B) if and so long as the number of directors of the
Trustee in office is more than nine, one additional individual may
be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a
director of a Security party; and (C) the Trustee may be designated
by a Security party or by an underwriter for a Security party to act
in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying
<PAGE> 57
49
agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent, or depositary, or in any other
similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of
this subsection (c), to act as trustee whether under an indenture or
otherwise;
(5) 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is
beneficially owned either by a Security party or by any director,
partner, or executive officer thereof, or 20% or more of such voting
securities is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more
of such persons; or 10% or more of the voting securities of the
Trustee is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for a
Security party or by any director, partner, or executive officer
thereof, or is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more
such persons;
(6) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as
collateral security for an obligation which is in default, (A) 5% or
more of the voting securities, or 10% or more of any other class of
security, of a Security party, not including the Securities issued
under this Indenture and securities issued under any other indenture
under which the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) 10% or more of any
class of security of an underwriter for a Security party;
(7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as
collateral security for an obligation which is in default, 5% or
more of the voting securities of any person who, to the knowledge of
the Trustee, owns 10% or more of the voting securities of, or
controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect
common control with, a Security party;
(8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as
collateral security for an obligation which is in default, 10% or
more of any class of security of any person who, to the knowledge of
the Trustee, owns 50% or more of the voting securities of a Security
party; or
(9) the Trustee owns on May 15 in any calendar year, in the
capacity of executor, administrator, testamentary or inter vivos
trustee, guardian, committee or conservator, or in any other similar
capacity, an aggregate of 25% or more of the voting securities, or
of any class of security, of any person, the beneficial ownership of
a specified percentage of which would have constituted a conflicting
interest under paragraph (6), (7) or (8) of this subsection (c). As
to any such securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership
through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary trustee of
an estate which included them, the provisions of the preceding
sentence
<PAGE> 58
50
shall not apply, for a period of two years from the date of such

such class of security. Promptly after May 15, in each calendar
year, the Trustee shall make a check of its holdings of such
securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of such May
15. If the Company fails to make payment in full of principal of or
interest on any of the Securities when and as the same become due
and payable, and such failure continues for 30 days thereafter, the
Trustee shall make a prompt check of its holdings of such securities
in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the
expiration of such 30-day period and, after such date,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (9), all
such securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control
over such securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such
failure shall continue, be considered as though beneficially owned
by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), and (8) of
this subsection (c).
The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of
this subsection (c) shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of
such percentages of the securities of a person is or is not necessary or
sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of
paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (c).
For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), and (9) of this subsection (c)
only, (A) the terms "security" and "securities" shall include only such
securities as are generally known as corporate securities, but shall not include
any note or other evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an obligation to
repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks, trust companies or banking
firms, or any certificate of interest or participation in any such note or
evidence of indebtedness; (B) an obligation shall be deemed to be in default
when a default in payment of principal shall have continued for 30 days or more
and shall not have been cured; and (C) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be the
owner or holder of (i) any security which it holds as collateral security (as
trustee or otherwise) for any obligation which is not in default as defined in

under this Indenture, irrespective of any default hereunder, or (iii) any
security which it holds as agent for collection, or as custodian, escrow agent,
or depositary, or in any similar representative capacity.
Except as provided in the next preceding paragraph hereof, the work

interest in oil, gas or other mineral rights, or, in general, any interest or
instrument commonly known as a "security" or any certificate of interest or
participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee
of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase any of the foregoing.
(d) For the purposes of this Section 8.08:
(1) The term "underwriter" when used with reference to a
Security party shall mean every person who, within three years prior
to the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased
from such Security party with a view to, or has offered or sold for
such Security party in connection with, the distribution of any
security of such Security party outstanding at such time, or has
participated or has had a direct or indirect participation in any
such undertaking, or has participated or has had a participation in

presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote in the
direction or management of the affairs of a person, or any security
issued under or pursuant to any trust, agreement or arrangement

direction or management of the affairs of a person.

cashier, the secretary, and the treasurer of a corporation, and any

The percentages of voting securities and other securities specified in
this Section 8.08 shall be calculated in accordance with the following
provisions:
(A) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the Trustee,
the Company or any other person referred to in this Section 8.08
(each of whom is referred to as a "person" in this paragraph) means
such amount of the outstanding voting securities of such person as
entitles the holder or holders to cast such specified percentage of
the aggregate votes which the holders of all the outstanding voting
securities of such person are entitled to cast in the direction or

(B) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a person
means such percentage of the aggregate amount of securities of the

any person other than the issuer is entitled to exercise the

(E) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as another
security if both securities confer upon the holders or holders
thereof substantially the same rights and privileges; provided,
however, that, in the case of secured evidences of indebtedness, all
of which are issued under a single indenture, differences in the
interest rates or maturity dates of various series thereof shall not
be deemed sufficient to constitute such series different classes,
and provided, further, that, in the case of unsecured evidences of
indebtedness, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates
thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute them securities
of different classes, whether or not they are issued under a single
indenture.
SECTION 8.09. Eligibility of Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all
times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority.
If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.09 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.
In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.10.
SECTION 8.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or
any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect
to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of such
resignation to the Company and by mailing notice thereof to the holders of the
applicable series of Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the
Securities register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the
applicable series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of its
Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and one copy the successor trustee. If no successor trustee
shall have been so appointed with respect to any series of Securities and have
accepted appointment within 60 days after the mailing of such
<PAGE> 62
54
notice of resignation to the affected Securityholders, the resigning Trustee may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or
Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the
provisions of Section 7.09, on behalf of himself and all other similarly
situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee.
Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur--
(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of
subjection (a) of Section 8.08 after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of
a Security or Securities for at least six months, or
(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder, or
(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee,
or, subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, any Securityholder who has been a
bona fide holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all other 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. Such
court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.
(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of one or more series (each series voting as a class) or all series
(voting as one class) at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee
with respect to the applicable series of Securities or all series, as the case
may be, and nominate a successor trustee with respect to the applicable series
of Securities or all series, as the case may be, which shall be
<PAGE> 63
55
deemed appointed as successor trustee with respect to the applicable series
unless within ten days after such nomination the Company objects thereto, in
which case the Trustee so removed or any Securityholder of the applicable
series, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in subdivision (a) of
this Section 8.10 provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
an appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.11.
SECTION 8.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee
appointed as provided in Section 8.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become
effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the
written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing
to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions
of Section 8.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act.
Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and
all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee
ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a claim upon all property or funds
held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to
the provisions of Section 8.06.
<PAGE> 64
56
If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one
or more (but not all) series, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and each
successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such
provisions as shall be deemed 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 retiring
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 trust 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.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 8.08 and eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.09.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.11, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to the holders of Securities of any applicable series at their
addresses as they shall appear on the Securities register. If the Company fails
to mail such notice within ten days after the acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Company.
SECTION 8.12. Succession by Merger, etc. 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 of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the
trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have
been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may
adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver
such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities
of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee
may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder
or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such
<PAGE> 65
57
certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of
such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee
shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Securities of any
series in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor
or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
SECTION 8.13. Limitation on Rights of Trustee as a Creditor. (a) Subject
to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 8.13, if the Trustee shall
be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of
the Company or of any other obligor on the Securities (each of which is
hereafter in this Section 8.13 called a "Security party") within four months
prior to a default, as defined in paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this
Section 8.13, 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
paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this Section 8.13):
(1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and
owning upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or
interest, effected after the beginning of such four-month period and valid
as against such Security party 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 such Security party 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 four-month
period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property, if
disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of such Security
party and its other creditors in such property or such proceeds.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee:
(A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of
any such claim by any person (other than such Security party) 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
case, securities, or other property in respect of claims filed
<PAGE> 66
58
against such Security party in bankruptcy or receivership or in
proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11, United States Code or
applicable state law;
(B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as
security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the
beginning of such 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 8.13, 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 such paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the
extent of the fair value of such property.
For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C), and (D), property substituted
after the beginning of such 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, and, to the
extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in
renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding
any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have
the same status as such pre-existing claim.
If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held
in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned between
the Trustee, the Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities
in such manner that the Trustee, the Securityholders and the holders of other
indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account
and payments of dividends on claims filed against such Security party in
bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to
Title 11, United States Code, or applicable state law, the same percentage of
their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee
anything on account of the receipt by it from such Security party of the funds
and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective
claims of the Trustee, the Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture
securities dividends on claims filed against such Security party in bankruptcy
or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to
<PAGE> 67
59
Title 11, United States Code or applicable state law, but after crediting
thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective
claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and
property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with
respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall include any distribution with
respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for
reorganization pursuant to Title 11, United States Code, or applicable state
law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities, or other property,
but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion,
if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership, or
proceeding for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to
apportion among the Trustee, the Securityholders, and the holders of other
indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the
funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof, or
(ii) in lieu of such apportionment, in whole or in part, to give the provisions
of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the
distributions to be made to the Trustee, the Securityholders and the holders of
other indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which
event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any
securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any
such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between
the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the
provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula.
Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such
four-month period shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) as
though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has
resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such four-month period, it
shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) if and only if the
following conditions exist:
(i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which would have
given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued as
trustee, occurred after the beginning of such four-month period; and
(ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within
four months after such resignation or removal.
(b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this
Section 8.13 a creditor relationship arising from
(1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any
indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or
more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee;
<PAGE> 68
60
(2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of
competent jurisdiction, or by this Indenture, for the purpose of
preserving any property which shall at any time be subject to the lien of
this Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or
encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advance and of the circumstances
surrounding the making thereof is given to the Securityholders at the time
and in the manner provided in Section 6.04 with respect to reports
pursuant to the subsections (a) and (b) thereof, respectively;
(3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the
capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar,
custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or 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 8.13;
(5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a corporation
organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve
Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly a creditor of a Security
party; 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 8.13.
(c) As used in this Section 8.13:
(1) The term "default" shall mean any failure to make payment in
full of the principal of or interest upon 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" shall mean securities upon
which a Security party is an obligor (as defined in the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939) outstanding under any other indenture (A) under which the
Trustee is also trustee, (B) which contains provisions substantially
similar to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 8.13, and (C)
under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds
and property held in said special account;
(3) The term "cash transaction" shall mean any transaction in which
full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after
delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other
orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand;
<PAGE> 69
61
(4) The term "self-liquidating paper" shall mean any draft, bill of
exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or
incurred by a Security party for the purpose of financing the purchase,
processing, manufacture, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or
merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to,
possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the
receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or
merchandise previously constituting the security; provided that the
security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of
the creditor relationship with such Security party arising from the
making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange,
acceptance or obligation.
SECTION 8.14. Authenticating Agents. There may be one or more
Authenticating Agents appointed by the Trustee upon the request of the Company
with power to act on the Trustee's behalf and subject to its direction in the
authentication and delivery of Securities of any series issued upon exchange or
transfer thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as though any such
Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver
Securities of such series; provided, that the Trustee shall have no liability to
the Company for any acts or omissions of the Authenticating Agent with respect
to the authentication and delivery of Securities of any series. Any such
Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory
thereof or of the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to act as
Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$5,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State,
Territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes
reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of
such authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.14 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 an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect herein specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business
of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent
hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this
Section 8.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent.
<PAGE> 70
62
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign with respect to one or
more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of
any Authenticating Agent with respect to one or more or all series of Securities
by giving written notice of termination 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 any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible under this Section 8.14, the Trustee may, and upon the request of the
Company shall, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent with respect to
the applicable series eligible under this Section 8.14, shall give written
notice of such appointment to the Company and shall mail notice of such
appointment to all holders of the applicable series of Securities as the names
and addresses of such holders appear on the Securities register. Any successor
Authenticating Agent with respect to all or any series upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and
responsibilities with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with
like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent herein.
The Trustee agrees to pay to any Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services, and the Trustee shall be entitled to
be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 8.06. Any Authenticating
Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as
such in accordance with the directions of the Trustee.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to
this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate
certificate of authentication in the following form.
This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to
in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Concerning the Securityholders
SECTION 9.01. Action by Securityholders. Whenever in this Indenture it
is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the
making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or
the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such
action the holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be
evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor
executed by such Securityholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in
writing, or (b) by the record of such holders of Securities voting in favor
thereof at any meeting of such Securityholders duly called and held in
accordance with the provisions of Article Ten, or (c) by a combination of such
instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such
Securityholders.
SECTION 9.02. Proof of Execution by Securityholders. Subject to the
provisions of Sections 8.01, 8.02 and 10.05, proof of the execution of any
instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made
in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by
the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Securities register or by a
certificate of the Securities registrar.
The record of any Securityholders' meeting shall be proved in the manner
provided in Section 10.06.
SECTION 9.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee,
any Authenticating Agent, any paying agent, any transfer agent, any conversion
agent and any Securities registrar may deem the person in whose name such
Security shall be registered upon the Securities register to be, and may treat
him as, the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall
be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon) for the purposes of conversion and of receiving payment of or on
account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Security and
for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent nor any paying agent nor any transfer agent nor any
conversion agent nor any Securities registrar shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being or
upon his order shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid,
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any
such Security.
<PAGE> 72
64
SECTION 9.04. Securities Owned by Company Deemed Not Outstanding. In
determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of
Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this
Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the
Securities or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by
or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor
on the Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the
purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent
or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall
be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith
may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 9.04 if the
pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right
to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any such
other obligor or person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or
under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other
obligor. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee
promptly an Officers' Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if
any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of
the above-described person; and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the
Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers' Certificate as conclusive
evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not
listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.
SECTION 9.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time
prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section
9.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection
with such action, any holder of a Security (or any Security issued in whole or
in part in exchange or substitution therefor) who consented to such action may,
by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof
of holding as provided in Section 9.02, revoke such action so far as concerns
such Security (or so far as concerns the principal amount represented by any
exchanged or substituted Security). Except as aforesaid any such action taken
by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder
and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security
issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any
notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security or any Security issued in
exchange or substitution therefor. Any action taken by the holders of the
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the
Company, the Trustee and the holders of such Securities.

applicable law.
SECTION 10.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at any time
call a meeting of Securityholders of any or all series to take any action
specified in Section 10.01, to be held at such time and at such place in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Trustee shall determine.
Notice of every meeting of the Securityholders of any or all series, setting
forth the record date, time and place of such meeting and in general terms the
action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be mailed to holders of
Securities of each series affected at their addresses as they shall appear on
the Securities register of each series affected. Such notice shall be mailed
not less than 20 nor more than 90 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.
SECTION 10.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Securityholders. In case
at any time the Company pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, or
the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
any or all series, as the case may be, then outstanding, shall have requested
the Trustee to call a meeting of Securityholders of any or all series, as the
case may be, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail action
proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed the
notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the
Company or such
<PAGE> 74
66
Securityholders may determine the time and the place in said Borough of
Manhattan for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action
authorized in Section 10.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section
10.02.
SECTION 10.04. Qualifications for Voting. To be entitled to vote at any
meeting of Securityholders a person shall (a) be a holder of one or more
Securities with respect to which the meeting is being held or (b) a person
appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by such a holder of one or more
such Securities. The only persons who shall be entitled to be present or to
speak at any meeting of Securityholders shall be the persons entitled to vote at
such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Trustee and its
counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.
SECTION 10.05. Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem
advisable for any meeting of Securityholders, in regard to proof of the holding
of Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the
appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other
matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit.
The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary
chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the
Company or by Securityholders as provided in Section 10.03, in which case the
Company or the Securityholders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in
like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by majority vote of the meeting.
Subject to the provisions of Section 9.04, at any meeting each holder of
Securities with respect to which such meeting is being held or proxy therefor
shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities
held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or
counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not outstanding
and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of
the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities held
by him or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the person
to vote on behalf of other Securityholders. At any meeting of Securityholders,
the presence of persons holding or representing Securities in an aggregate
principal amount sufficient to take action on the business for the transaction
of which such meeting was called shall constitute a quorum, but, if less than a
quorum is present, the persons holding or representing a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to
<PAGE> 75
67
vote may adjourn such meeting with the same effect, for all intents and
purposes, as though a quorum had been present. Any meeting of Securityholders
duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02 or 10.03 may be
adjourned from time to time by a majority of those present, whether or not
constituting a quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without
further notice.
SECTION 10.06. Voting. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any
meeting of holders of Securities with respect to which such meeting is being
held shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of
such holders or of their representatives by proxy and the serial number or
numbers of the Securities held or represented by them. The permanent chairman
of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes
cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file
with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate
of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of
each meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the
meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the
inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or
more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of
the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in Section
10.02. The record shall show the serial numbers of the Securities voting in
favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by
the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of
the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to
be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto ballots voted
at the meeting.
Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the
matters therein stated.
ARTICLE ELEVEN.

Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following
purposes:
(a) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the
Company, or successive succession, and the assumption by the successor
corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company
pursuant to Article Twelve hereof;
<PAGE> 76
68
(b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants,
restrictions or conditions for the protection of the holders of all or any
series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of
less than all series of Securities stating that such covenants are
expressly being included for the benefit of such series) as the Board of
Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the
holders of such Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence
and continuance, of a default in any of such additional covenants,
restrictions or conditions a default or an Event of Default permitting the
enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this
Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any
such additional covenant, restriction or condition such supplemental
indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default
(which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of
other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such
default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such
default;
(c) to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Securities
in coupon form (including Securities registrable as to principal only) and
to provide for exchangeability of such Securities with the Securities
issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate
changes for such purpose;
(d) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as
permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03;
(e) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this

to the requirements of Section 8.11;
(f) to make provision with respect to the conversion rights of
holders of Convertible Securities pursuant to the requirements of Section

or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any
supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to
matters or questions arising under this Indenture; provided that any such
action shall not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders
of the Securities.
<PAGE> 77
69
The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution
of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance,
transfer and assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be
obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any such supplemental
indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.
Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section
11.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the
holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of
the provisions of Section 11.02.
SECTION 11.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Securityholders.
With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 9.01) of the holders of not
less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time
outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as a
class), the Company, when authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors,
and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
holders of the Securities of each series so affected; provided, however, that no
such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security,
or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce
the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce any amount
payable on redemption thereof or make the principal thereof or any interest or
premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the
Securities, or impair the right to convert Convertible Securities into Common
Stock on the terms set forth herein, or impair or affect the right of any
Securityholder to institute suit for payment thereof or the right of repayment,
if any, at the option of the holder, or modify any of the provisions of this
Indenture relating to the subordination of the Securities in a manner adverse to
the holders thereof without the consent of the holder of each Security so
affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities the holders of
which are required to act pursuant to Section 7.07 or to consent to any such
supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security then
affected.
A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other
provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the
rights of Securityholders of such series with respect to such covenant or
<PAGE> 78
70
provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the
Securityholders of any other series.
Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a copy of a resolution of
the Board of Directors certified by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders as
aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which
case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into such supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under
this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.
SECTION 11.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act; Effect of
Supplemental Indentures. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the
provisions of this Article Eleven shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as then in effect. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven, this Indenture shall be and
be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this
Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Securities of each
series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced
hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications an amendments and all
the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be
deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all
purposes.
SECTION 11.04. Notation on Securities. Securities of any series
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
affecting such series pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven may bear
a notation in the form approved by the trustee as to any matter provided for in
such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine,
new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture
contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the
Company, authenticated by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent and delivered
in exchange for the Securities of any series then outstanding.
<PAGE> 79
71
SECTION 11.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be
Furnished Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01 and
8.02, may receive an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto
complies with the requirements of this Article Eleven.
SECTION 11.06. Effect on Senior Indebtedness. No supplemental indenture
shall adversely affect the rights of any holder of Senior Indebtedness under
Article Four without the consent of such holder.
ARTICLE TWELVE.
Consolidation, Merger and Sale by the Company.
SECTION 12.01. Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets Permitted. The
Company covenants and agrees that it will not consolidate with, merge into, or
sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property as an
entirety to, any person other than a corporation organized under the laws of the
United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of
Columbia, lawfully entitled to acquire the same. The Company will not so
consolidate or merge, or make any such sale or other disposition, unless, and
the Company covenants and agrees that any such consolidation, merger, sale or
other disposition shall be on the condition that, (1) the provisions of Section
3.06 are complied with and (2) such corporation shall expressly assume the due
and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
all the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture to be performed by the Company, by supplemental indenture satisfactory
to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation. The
Company covenants and agrees that it will not so consolidate or merge or make
any such sale or other disposition, or permit any corporation to merge into the
Company, if immediately thereafter the Company or such successor corporation, as
the case may be, shall be in default in the performance or observance of any of
the covenants or conditions of this Indenture.
SECTION 12.02. Successor Corporation to Be Substituted for Company. In
case of any such merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance and upon any such
assumption by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall
succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had
been named herein as the party of the first part, and, in case of such a sale or
conveyance other than a lease, the Company thereupon shall be relieved of any
further obligation or liability hereunder or upon the Securities, and may
thereupon or at any time thereafter
<PAGE> 80
72
be dissolved, wound up or liquidated. Such successor corporation thereupon may
cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of Masco
Industries, Inc. any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent; and, upon the order of such successor
corporation (instead of the Company) and subject to all the terms, conditions
and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee or the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver any Securities which previously shall have
been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent for authentication, and any Securities which such successor
corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee or
the Authenticating Agent for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall
in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the
Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the
execution hereof.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, such
changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the
Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.
SECTION 12.03. Evidence to Be Furnished Trustee. The Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Sections 8.01 and 8.02, may receive and rely upon an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and any such assumption complies with
the provisions of this Article Twelve.
ARTICLE THIRTEEN.
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.
SECTION 13.01. Discharge of Indenture. When (a) the Company shall have
paid or caused to be paid the principal of and interest on all Securities of any
series outstanding hereunder, as and when the same shall have become due and
payable, (b) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all
Securities of any series theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities of
such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have
been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08 or converted) and not
theretofore cancelled, or (c) with respect to any series of Securities which,
under the terms specified in the resolution or supplemental indenture or
indentures referred to in Section 2.03, pursuant to which such series is
created, can be discharged prior to maturity, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee, in trust, cash and/or a principal amount of obligations of or directly
guaranteed by the United States of America maturing or redeemable at the option
of the holder thereof not later than the
<PAGE> 81
73
date fixed for payment or redemption of all outstanding Securities of such
series which, together with the income to be earned on such obligations prior to
such date, equals the principal amount of (and any applicable premium on), all
such Securities of such series not theretofore cancelled or delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation, with interest to the date of their maturity or
redemption, as the case may be, but excluding, however, the amount of any moneys
for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the
Securities of such series (1) theretofore repaid to the Company in accordance
with the provisions of Section 13.04, or (2) paid to any State or to the
District of Columbia pursuant to its unclaimed property or similar laws, and if
in any such case the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company, then (except in the case of (c) above as to
(i) rights of registration of transfer and exchange and any right of the Company
of optional redemption and to deliver Securities of such series to the Trustee
for cancellation, (ii) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or
stolen Securities, (iii) any remaining rights of conversion of Convertible
Securities, (iv) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder
and (v) the rights of the Securityholders as beneficiaries hereof with respect
to the property so deposited with the Trustee, all of which shall continue in
full force and effect) all of the Company's liability with respect to principal,
premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series shall be
discharged, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to such
series, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and
discharging this Indenture as to such series, the Company, however, hereby
agreeing to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter
reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee in connection with this
Indenture or the Securities; provided, however, that the rights of
Securityholders to receive amounts in respect of principal of and interest on
the Securities held by them shall not be delayed longer than required by then-
applicable mandatory rules or policies of any securities exchange if the
Securities of such series continue to be listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Company makes a deposit of cash and/or obligations described in clause
(c) above with respect to any series of Securities which, under the terms
specified in the resolution or supplemental indenture or indentures referred to
in Section 2.03, pursuant to which such series is created, is subject to the
provisions of this sentence (whether or not such resolution or supplemental
indenture provides that such series can be discharged prior to maturity under
clause (c) above), and, concurrently with such deposit, notifies the Trustee
that such series shall no longer have the benefit of all or any portion of the
provisions of Article Seven of this Indenture and such other provisions of this
Indenture or the resolution or supplemental indenture, pursuant to which such
series is created, as are specifically permitted in such resolution or
supplemental indenture
<PAGE> 82
74
to be made inapplicable under this sentence with respect to such series, this
Indenture and such supplemental indenture or resolution shall thereupon be
deemed amended with respect to such series solely by the deletion in their
entirety of such provisions and this Indenture and such supplemental indenture
or resolution shall in all other respects be unaffected thereby.
SECTION 13.02. Deposited Moneys to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject
to the provisions of Section 13.04, all moneys and obligations deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it
to the payment, either directly or through any paying agent (including the
Company if acting as its own paying agent), to the holders of the particular
Securities for the payment of which such moneys and obligations have been
deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for
principal, premium, if any, and interest; provided, however, that the Company
shall be entitled from time to time to withdraw cash and/or obligations
deposited under clause (c) or the last sentence of Section 13.01 provided that
the cash and obligations thereafter on deposit and after giving effect to such
withdrawal would, if then deposited under such clause, satisfy in all respects
the requirements of such clause or the last sentence of Section 13.01. At the
time of any such withdrawal, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate demonstrating compliance with the provisions of such
clause or sentence.
SECTION 13.03. Paying Agent to Repay Moneys Held. Upon the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture all moneys then held by any paying agent of the
Securities (other than the Trustee) shall, upon demand of the Company, be repaid
to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such paying agent shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such moneys.
SECTION 13.04. Return of Unclaimed Moneys. Except as may be required
under applicable law, any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any
paying agent for payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest
on Securities and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the holders of
Securities for three years after the date upon which the principal of, and
premium, if any, or interest on such Securities, as the case may be, shall have
become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee or such
paying agent on written demand; and the holder of any of the Securities shall
thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such holder may be
entitled to collect and all liability of the Trustee or such paying agent with
respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 14.01. Indenture and Securities Solely Corporate Obligations. No
recourse for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on
any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof,
and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the
Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or in any Security,
or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had
against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past,
present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation of the
Company, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation of
the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly
understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a
condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and
the issue of the Securities.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN.
Redemption of Securities--Mandatory and
Optional Sinking Fund.
SECTION 16.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article
shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable at the
option of the Company before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the
retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities of such series.
SECTION 16.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Securities. In case
the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case
may be, any part of the Securities of any series in accordance with their terms,
it shall fix a date for redemption and shall mail a notice of such redemption at
lease 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the
holders of Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at
their last address as the same appear on the Securities register. Such mailing
shall be by first class mail. The notice if mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by
mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Security of a series
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.
Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for
redemption, the redemption price at which Securities of such series are to be
redeemed, the place or places of payment, that
<PAGE> 86
78
payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that
interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in
said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions
thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If less than all the Securities of
such series are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the
numbers of the Securities of that series to be redeemed. In case any Security
of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state
the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that
on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a
new Security or Securities of that series in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.
Not more than seven days prior to the redemption date specified in the
notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Company will deposit
with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents an amount of money sufficient
to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities so called for redemption at
the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date
fixed for redemption.
If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed the Company
will give the Trustee notice not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date
as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed
and the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall
deem appropriate and fair, the Securities of that series or portions thereof (in
integral multiples of $1,000, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable
form of Security) to be redeemed.
SECTION 16.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of
redemption has been given as provided in Section 16.02 or Section 16.04, the
Securities or portions of Securities of the series with respect to which such
notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place
or places stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together
with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said
date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the
redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the
Securities or portions of Securities of any series so called for redemption
shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a
place of payment specified in said notice, the said Securities or the specified
portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for
redemption.
Upon presentation of any Security of any series redeemed in part only, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
holder thereof, at the expense of
<PAGE> 87
79
the Company, a new Security or Securities of such series of authorized
denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion or the
Security so presented.
SECTION 16.04. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Fund. The minimum amount
of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series determined pursuant to Section 2.03 is herein referred to as a "mandatory
sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided
for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an
"optional sinking fund payment". The last date on which any such payment may be
made is herein referred to as a "sinking fund payment date".
In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment
with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its
option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series (other than any
previously called for redemption) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by
the Company and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of that series which have
been previously delivered to the Trustee by the Company or Securities of that
series which have been converted or redeemed either at the election of the
Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of
optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, in
each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund
payment, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited.
Each such Security so delivered or applied as a credit shall be credited at the
sinking fund redemption price for such Securities and the amount of any
mandatory sinking fund shall be reduced accordingly. If the Company intends so
to deliver or credit such Securities with respect to any mandatory sinking fund
payment it shall deliver to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date for such series (a) a certificate signed by
the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company specifying the portion of
such sinking fund payment, if any, to be satisfied by payment of cash and the
portion of such sinking fund payment, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting such Securities and (b) any Securities to be so
delivered, if not previously delivered. All Securities so delivered to the
Trustee shall be cancelled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu thereof. If the Company fails to deliver such certificate
and Securities at or before the time provided above, the Company shall not be
permitted to satisfy any portion of such mandatory sinking fund payment by
delivery or credit of Securities.
At its option the Company may pay into the sinking fund for the retirement
of Securities of any particular series, on or not more than seven days before
each sinking fund payment date for such series, any additional sum in cash as
specified by the terms of such series of Securities. If the Company intends to
exercise its
<PAGE> 88
80
right to make any such optional sinking fund payment, it shall deliver to the
Trustee at least 60 days prior to the next succeeding sinking fund payment date
for such Series a certificate signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer
of the Company stating that the Company intends to exercise such optional right
and specifying the amount which the Company intends to pay on such sinking fund
payment date. If the Company fails to deliver such certificate at or before the
time provided above, the Company shall not be permitted to make any optional
sinking fund payment with respect to such sinking fund payment date. To the
extent that such right is not exercised in any year it shall not be cumulative
or carried forward to any subsequent year.
If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in
cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash
shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) with
respect to the Securities of any particular series, it shall be applied by the
Trustee or one or more paying agents on the next succeeding sinking fund payment
date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund
redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 16.02,
for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount
of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and the
Trustee shall, at the expense and in the name of the Company, thereupon cause
notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be given in substantially
the manner and with the effect provided in Sections 16.02 and 16.03 for the
redemption of Securities of that series in part at the option of the Company,
except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities of
such series are being redeemed for the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys
not so applied or allocated by the Trustee or any paying agent to the redemption
of Securities of that series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund
payment received by the Trustee or such paying agent and, together with such
payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section
16.04. Any and all sinking fund moneys held by the Trustee or any paying agent
on the maturity date of the securities of any particular series, and not held
for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series, shall be
applied by the trustee or such paying agent, together with other moneys, if
necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the
principal of Securities at maturity.
On or not more than seven days before each sinking fund payment date, the
Company shall pay to the Trustee or to one or more paying agents in cash sum
equal to all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to
be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date pursuant to this
Section.
<PAGE> 89
81
Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall redeem any Securities of a
series with sinking fund moneys, and the Trustee shall not mail any notice of
redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund, during
the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of
this paragraph) with respect to such Securities, except that if the notice of
redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance
with the provisions hereof, the Trustee or any paying agent shall redeem such
Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the
Trustee or such paying agent for that purpose in accordance with the terms of
this Article Sixteen. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for
such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur
and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund shall, during the
continuance of such default or Event of Default, be held as security for the
payment of all Securities of such series; provided, however, that in case such
Event of Default or default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein,
such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund
payment date on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 16.04

which was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, providing for the
issuance from time to time of convertible or non-convertible unsecured
subordinated debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the
Company ("Securities") in one or more series under such Indenture; and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in these resolutions and not otherwise
defined are used with the same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Indenture;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that there hereby is approved and

EXHIBIT 10.d
STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made as of May 1, 1984 between Masco Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Masco"), and Masco Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Industries").
WHEREAS, Masco is transferring to Industries certain assets pursuant to
the Masco Corporation Corporate Restructuring Plan (the "Plan") dated as of May
1, 1984 and proposes thereafter, pursuant to the Plan, to distribute as a
dividend (the "Distribution") in excess of 40% of Industries' Common Stock,
$1.00 par value (the "Common Stock"), to the stockholders of Masco;
WHEREAS, as a result of the Distribution, Industries will become a
publicly held corporation and Masco will initially own approximately 50% of the
Common Stock;
WHEREAS, employees of the consultants to Masco and Industries and their
respective subsidiaries may on the date of the Distribution possess share awards
of Common Stock under the Masco Corporation 1984 Restricted Stock (Industries)
Incentive Plan (the "Masco Plan") which are forfeitable to Masco upon the
occurrence of the events specified therein, Industries has established its own
Restricted Stock Incentive Plan and may in the future establish additional plans
(the "Industries Plans") under which shares of Common Stock of Industries could
be awarded to employees of the consultants to Industries and its subsidiaries
and affiliated companies subject to forfeiture to Industries, and Industries may
in the future desire to repurchase shares of its outstanding Common Stock; and
WHEREAS, Masco desires to prevent any of the foregoing events, without the
concurrence of Masco, from resulting in an increase in Masco's percentage
ownership of
<PAGE> 2
the outstanding Common Stock as it exists immediately prior to occurrence of
such event;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. If at any time prior to May 1, 1994, (a) Industries or any of its
subsidiaries shall repurchase any Common Stock or (b) any shares of Common
Stock, which have been awarded to any employees of or consultants to Industries
or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies pursuant to the Industries Plans, or
which have been awarded to any employees of or consultants to Industries or its
subsidiaries or affiliated companies or Masco or its subsidiaries or affiliated
companies pursuant to the Masco Plan, shall be forfeited to Industries or Masco
pursuant to the terms thereof, Industries shall offer to Masco the opportunity
to sell to Industries on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the
number of shares of Common Stock (the "Offered Shares") necessary to prevent any
increase in the percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by Masco
immediately prior to such repurchase or forfeiture.
2. Promptly after any forfeiture pursuant to the Masco Plan should
Masco desire to sell shares of Common Stock to Industries, Masco shall notify
Industries thereof, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock so
forfeited. Promptly after any such repurchase by Industries or forfeiture
pursuant to the Industries Plans, Industries shall notify Masco thereof in
writing, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock so repurchased or
forfeited and the number of shares of Common Stock required to be sold by Masco
to Industries to prevent the increase in percentage ownership as provided in
Paragraph 1. Industries shall thereafter offer Masco the opportunity for 30
days from the date of either of such notices to sell to Industries all (or such
lesser number as is
<PAGE> 3
specified by Masco in its acceptance referred to in Paragraph 3) of the Offered
Shares for a purchase price (the "Purchase Price") equal to (a) in the case of a
repurchase of Common Stock by Industries, the highest repurchase price paid by
Industries to a third party during the 30-day period ending on the date of such
repurchase or (b) in the case of the forfeiture of shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the Industries Plans or the Masco Plan, as the case may be, the fair
market value of shares of the Common Stock at the close of trading on the date
of such forfeiture.
3. If Masco shall accept Industries' offer within the 30-day period
specified in Paragraph 2 above by written notice to Industries, then on the date
5 days after the date of Masco's acceptance, Masco shall deliver to Industries
duly executed certificates representing the Offered Shares as to which
Industries' offer has been accepted against receipt from Industries of the
amount of the Purchase Price for such Offered Shares.
4. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware.
5. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party, except to a
successor to substantially all of the business of a party, without the express
written consent of the other party.

Mr. Richard G. Mosteller
Masco Corporation

Re: Restricted Stock Incentive Plans
Dear Mr. Mosteller:
This will confirm (i) our arrangements regarding reimbursement of costs
relating to unvested incentive award shares of Masco Corporation ("Masco")
common stock and Masco Industries, Inc. ("Industries") common stock upon
transfers of employment and consulting relationships between Masco and
Industries, (ii) our arrangements regarding reimbursement upon forfeitures of
such shares, and (iii) our prior understandings on the implementation of the
Stock Repurchase Agreement dated May 1, 1984 between Masco and Industries with
respect to Industries' repurchases of its common stock from Masco following the
forfeiture of shares of Industries common stock granted under either Masco's or
Industries' restricted stock incentive plan (the "Industries Stock Incentive
Plans") and following open market repurchases of such stock by Industries.
These procedures have been established in order to attribute the cost of such
incentive shares in respect of the employees of consultants to Masco and
Industries and to permit Masco, among other things, to achieve its expressed
objective of maintaining its equity ownership in Industries at not more than 50%
after any forfeiture of Industries incentive award shares. These procedures
are not intended to alter the rights of the parties under the Corporate
Restructuring Plan or the Stock Repurchase Agreement except as expressly
provided herein, and may be terminated by Masco or Industries at any time
without cause, effective ten days after notice of termination.
<PAGE> 5
Mr. Richard G. Mosteller
September 20, 1985

1. Transfers.
If a person changes employment or a consulting relationship from Masco to
Industries or from Industries to Masco, the new employer will reimburse the
former employer for the cost on the books of the former employer which is
associated with unvested shares of Masco common stock or Industries common stock
awarded under a Masco or Industries incentive plan, to the extent such shares
may continue to vest while the person is engaged by the new employer.
2. Forfeitures By Industries Employees and Consultants.
A. Shares of Industries common stock forfeited by an Industries employee
or consultant which were granted pursuant to either of the Industries Stock
Incentive Plans are deemed automatically acquired by Industries from the
employee or consultant as of the date of the forfeiture notwithstanding any
contrary provision in either of the Industries Stock Incentive Plans.
Industries waives its right under Paragraph 4.02 of the Corporate Restructuring
Plan to require Masco to pay Industries an amount equal to the unamortized cost
of Industries shares forfeited by Industries employees which were granted under
Masco's Industries Stock Incentive Plan and no amount is payable by Industries
to Masco on account of Industries' acquisition of such forfeited shares.
B. Shares of Masco common stock that were granted under the Masco
Restricted Stock Incentive Plan are forfeited by Industries employees and
consultants to Masco upon termination of employment or the consulting
relationship. Masco will reimburse Industries for the cost on Industries' books
which is associated with such forfeited Masco shares.
3. Forfeitures By Masco Employees and Consultants.
If Masco's equity ownership in Industries would exceed 50% at the end of
any month, shares of Industries common stock forfeited by Masco employees and
consultants during such month are deemed automatically acquired by Industries
from those employees and consultants (notwithstanding any contrary provision in
Masco's Industries Stock Incentive Plan) on the last day of such month to the
extent necessary so that Masco's ownership will not exceed 50% as of such date.
Industries will reimburse Masco for its loss arising from such forfeiture by
paying to Masco an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares (as
determined under Paragraph 4 hereof) on the last trading day of such month.

Mr. Richard G. Mosteller

4. Repurchase Of Industries Shares On Account of Forfeitures.
If Masco's equity ownership in Industries would exceed 50% at the end
of any month in which forfeited Industries shares are deemed automatically
acquired by Industries, Industries is deemed to repurchase from Masco, on the
last day of such month, additional shares of Industries common stock to the
extent necessary so that Masco's ownership of Industries common stock does not
exceed 50% as of the last day of such month. Pursuant to Paragraph 2(b) of
the Stock Repurchase Agreement, the price for the Industries shares so
repurchased from Masco is the fair market value of such shares at the
close of trading on the last trading day of such month (which is determined
by the last sale price for Industries shares as reported in the NASDAQ National
Market System).
5. Repurchase of Industries Shares On Account Of Open Market Purchases.
If Masco's equity ownership in Industries would exceed 50% at the end of
any month in which Industries makes open market purchases of its common stock
in connection with awards of shares under its Industries Stock Incentive
Plan or in connection with employee stock options, Industries is deemed to
repurchase from Masco, on the last day of such month, shares of Industries
common stock to the extent necessary so that Masco's ownership of
Industries common stock does not exceed 50% as of the day of such month.
Notwithstanding Paragraph 2(a) of the Stock Repurchase Agreement, the
price for the Industries shares so repurchased from Masco is the weighted
average price paid by Industries for its open market share purchases during
such month. If Masco's equity ownership of Industries would exceed 50%
at the end of any month in which forfeited Industries shares are deemed
automatically acquired by Industries and in which Industries makes open
market purchases of the types contemplated under Paragraph 5 hereof,
shares shall be deemed to be repurchased by Industries first pursuant
to paragraph 4. If, after such repurchases pursuant to paragraph 4,

EXHIBIT 10.e
AMENDED AND RESTATED
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of
November 23, 1993 (hereinafter referred to as "this Agreement"), amends and
restates the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 31, 1993, between
MascoTech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Masco Industries,
Inc., the "Company"), and Masco Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Masco").
WHEREAS, the Company desires to have the right to sell to Masco, and Masco
is willing to purchase from the Company at its request, from time to time, up to
$200 million principal amount of subordinated debt securities upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Authorization of Issues of Securities. (a) The Company has
authorized the issuance and delivery of separate series of subordinated debt
securities ("Securities"), such Securities to have substantially the same terms
and provisions as the form of subordinated note attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) The Securities shall be issued in separate series with the interest
rate on each such series being a rate per annum that is 400 basis points over
the average Treasury Rate (as hereinafter defined) for the week preceding the
week in which the notice of purchase referred to in Paragraph 2 is given to
Masco. "Treasury Rate" means the rate for noncallable direct obligations of the
United States ("Treasury Notes") having a remaining maturity of five years, as
published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) (or any successor
publication provided by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System)
under the heading "Treasury Constant Maturities." If a rate for Treasury Notes
having a remaining maturity of five years has not been so published or reported
for the preceding week as provided above by 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the day such notice is given to Masco, then the Treasury Rate shall be
calculated by the Company and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond
equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and
applied on a daily basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid
rates, as of approximately 1:30 P.M., New York City time, on the date of such
notice, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers
selected by the Company for the purchase of Treasury Notes with a remaining
maturity of five years.
(c) Each issuance of Securities shall constitute a separate and discrete
series of securities and may be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.1 of the form of
subordinated note attached hereto as Exhibit A without regard to the redemption
of any other Securities.
<PAGE> 2
(d) The parties confirm that the Securities constitute
"Subordinated Debentures" under the Registration Agreement
between them dated as of March 31, 1993.
2. Obligation to Purchase. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, Masco agrees to purchase, at par, at any time or from time to time
on or before March 31, 1997, upon the Company's written notice, up to $200
million aggregate principal amount of Securities (the "Commitment"). The
Company's written notice shall specify the principal amount of Securities that
Masco is required to purchase (which for each respective issuance of Securities
shall be $10 million or any larger multiple of $1 million) and the interest
rate, as determined in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1(b). The
interest rate set forth in such notice shall be final and binding in the absence
of manifest error.
(b) The Commitment is not revolving in nature, and any Securities
repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company shall not restore the
Commitment. The Company may reduce or terminate the unused portion of the
Commitment at any time by written notice to Masco.
3. Closing. (a) Any closing of a sale of Securities to Masco hereunder
shall occur at Masco's offices on the tenth Business Day (as hereinafter
defined) after the Company gives Masco the written notice referred to in
Paragraph 2. The term "Business Day" shall mean any day, except a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized by
law to close, on which commercial banks are open for international business
(including dealings in dollar deposits) in London.
(b) At each closing, provided the Company has paid all commitment fees
then due and payable under Paragraph 4 and provided the Company's
representations and warranties set forth in Paragraphs 6(b) through 6(f) shall
then be true and correct, Masco shall deliver to the Company immediately
available funds in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
Securities being purchased.
(c) At each closing, the Company shall deliver to Masco one or more
certificates for the Securities being issued, registered in the name of Masco
(or such other person as Masco may designate prior to the closing) with any such
legend that may be appropriate and in such denominations of $1,000 and any
multiple thereof as Masco may specify prior to the closing. The Company's
delivery of the certificates representing the Securities being purchased shall
automatically be deemed to be a representation by the Company that all of the
representations and warranties set forth in Paragraphs 6(b) through 6(f) are
true and correct as of the date of closing. The accuracy of such
representations and warranties shall be a condition to Masco's obligation to
purchase such Securities.
-2-
<PAGE> 3
4. Commitment Fee. (a) The Company shall pay Masco a commitment fee for
Masco's Commitment hereunder at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the daily
average amount by which the Commitment exceeds the principal amount of
Securities purchased by Masco hereunder (including Securities previously issued
and redeemed).
(b) The commitment fee shall continue to accrue from and including the
date hereof to but excluding the date on which the aggregate principal amount of
Securities purchased by Masco hereunder (including Securities previously issued
and redeemed) equals the Commitment (as may be reduced or terminated by the
Company pursuant to Paragraph 2(b)). Such fee shall be computed for the actual
number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly on the last day of each
calendar quarter, and upon fulfillment of the Commitment in its entirety or the
earlier termination of the Commitment.
5. Representations of Masco. Masco represents and warrants
to the Company that:
(a) Masco is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is authorized by its
certificate of incorporation to carry on its business as now conducted.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by Masco of this Agreement and
the consummation by Masco of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the
corporate powers of Masco and have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of Masco. This Agreement constitutes a valid and
binding agreement of Masco.
(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
do not result in any violation by Masco of any indenture, mortgage or
other agreement or instrument by which Masco or any of its
Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) is bound.
(d) No authorization, consent or approval of, or registration or filing
with, any governmental or public body or regulatory authority is required on the
part of Masco which has not been obtained for the purchase by Masco of the
Securities contemplated by this Agreement, and such a purchase will not result
in any violation by Masco of any of the terms or provisions of its certificate
of incorporation or by-laws.

(e) Masco has received such information from the Company as it deems necessary
and sufficient in order to make an informed investment decision regarding its
commitment to purchase Securities hereunder. Masco is a sophisticated investor,
with such knowledge and experience in financial matters that it is capable of
evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Securities, and is
purchasing such Securities for its own account for investment and (subject, to
the extent necessary, to the disposition of its property being at all times
within its control) not with a view to any distribution or other disposition
thereof, and is proceeding on the assumption that it must bear the economic risk
of any such investment for an indefinite period since such Securities may not be
sold except as set forth below. If Masco decides to dispose of any of the
Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement or any securities issued in
exchange or substitution therefor (which it does not presently contemplate), it
will not offer, sell or deliver any such securities, directly or indirectly,
except in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933.

duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the

required to carry on its business as now conducted, and (2) all of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of each such Subsidiary have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and are
owned directly or indirectly by the Company (except for directors'
qualifying shares of certain such Subsidiaries and equity interests in
Subsidiaries owned by Persons (as hereinafter defined) other than the
Company which individually or in the aggregate are not material to the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole) free and clear of all Liens
(as hereinafter defined), except Liens not material to the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
(iii) The following terms, as used herein, have the
following meanings:

hereby are within the Company's corporate powers and have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement
constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company.

have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company and, if and when such Securities are issued pursuant to this Agreement,

(d) Assuming the truth and accuracy of Masco's representations and
warranties set forth in Paragraph 5(e), no authorization, consent or approval
of, or registration or filing with, any governmental or public body or
regulatory authority is required on the part of the Company for the issuance of
the Securities pursuant to this Agreement prior to the issuance of Securities
hereunder, and such issuance will not result in any violation by the Company of
any of the terms or provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of
the Company.
(e) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Agreement and the issuance of Securities pursuant to this Agreement do not
result in any violation by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of any
indenture, mortgage or other agreement or instrument by which the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries is bound.
(f) The Company is not and, after giving effect to any proposed issuance
of Securities for which the Company has given written notice, will not be in
default with respect to any of the Securities or any other of the Company's
securities acquired from the Company by Masco or any of its Subsidiaries; and
there is no event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, would

any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or hereafter in
effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or for any substantial
part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a
period of 90 consecutive days; or
5
<PAGE> 14
(e) the Issuer shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,
shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case
under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking
possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or of any substantial
part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit
of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due.
If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) occurs and is
continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all
of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, the holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of this Series then
outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer, may declare the entire
principal of all the Notes and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due
and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or
(e) occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes shall become and
be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part
of any holder of Notes.
The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at
any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and
payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due
shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall
pay or shall deposit in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes a sum
sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all of the Notes and
the principal of the Notes (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent
that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue
installments of interest to the date of such payment or deposit) and if any
and all Events of Default under this Note other than the non-payment of the
principal shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided
herein, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer,
may waive all defaults with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment
shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right
consequent thereon.
SECTION 4.2. Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver
of Default. All powers and remedies given by this Section 4 to the holders of
Notes shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not
exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the
holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to
6
<PAGE> 15
enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements
contained in this Note and no delay or omission of any
holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing
upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall
impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, every
power and remedy given by this Note or by law to the holders of
Notes may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall
be deemed expedient, by the holders of Notes.
SECTION 4.3. Waiver of Past Defaults by Majority of Holders.
Subject to Section 4.1, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on
behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive such default or
Event of Default and its consequences except a default in the
payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes. Upon
any such waiver the Issuer and the holders of the Notes shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever
any default or Event of Default shall have been waived as
permitted by this Section 4.3, said default or Event of Default
shall for all purposes of the Notes be deemed to have been cured
and to be not continuing.
SECTION 5. Redemption.
SECTION 5.1. Optional Redemption. The Notes may be redeemed
at the option of the Issuer as a whole, or from time to
time in part, at any time prior to maturity, at a price equal to
the principal amount of the Notes so redeemed, together in each
case with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption,
upon mailing notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the
holders of Notes at their last addresses as the same appear on
the Register. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The
notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such
notice by mail or any defect in the notices to the holder of any
Note designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer
will select (a) by lot or by such other manner as may be prescribed
by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and (b)
to the extent Masco, or any Subsidiary thereof, holds Notes, the
Issuer shall allow Masco to select, in its sole discretion, the
specific Notes then owned by Masco or its Subsidiaries to be
redeemed (provided that Masco informs the Issuer no later than
the day prior to the date of such redemption of the specific
Notes selected for redemption), the Notes or portions thereof (in
integral multiples of $1,000) to be redeemed in a minimum amount
of
7
<PAGE> 16
$1,000,000 unless less than $1,000,000 of the Notes remain outstanding in
which case all of the Notes must be redeemed.
Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the
Issuer shall execute and deliver to the holder thereof, at the
expense of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes of authorized denomina-
tions, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
Note so presented.
SECTION 5.2. Change of Control Put. (a) The holder of this Note shall have
the right, at such holder's option, upon the giving of notice of the occurrence
of any event described in clause (b) below, and subject to the terms and
provisions hereof, to tender any Note, in whole or in part, without regard to
whether the Note is then otherwise redeemable, for cash in an amount equal to
the principal amount of such Note plus accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption. Such redemption shall occur on the sixty-fifth day after the date
of the notice provided pursuant to clause (c) below (the "Mandatory Redemption
Date"). The holder's right to tender shall continue up to the sixtieth day after
the date of such notice and shall be exercised by any surrender of such Note to
the office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.1,
accompanied by written notice that the holder elects to tender such Note and (if
so required by the Issuer) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed by the holder or such holder's
duly authorized legal representative and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor,
if required. All Notes surrendered for redemption shall be cancelled by the
Issuer.
(b) The holder's right to tender under clause (a) above
shall be triggered upon the occurrence of either of the following
events:
(i) Any person or group (an "other entity"), within
the meaning of Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, shall attain beneficial ownership, within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 adopted under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, of at least 50% of the voting power for election
of the Directors of the Issuer, unless approved in
advance by a majority of the Issuer's Continuing Directors
has hereinafter defined), or
(ii) The Issuer, directly or indirectly, consolidates
or merges with any other entity or sells or leases its prop-
erties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other
entity, unless approved in advance by a majority of the
Issuer's Continuing Directors.
A "Continuing Director" is a Director who is a member of
the Board of Directors of the Issuer elected by stockholders
prior to the time the other entity acquires in excess of 10% of
the voting
8
<PAGE> 17
power for the election of Directors of the Issuer or a person
recommended to succeed a Continuing Director by a majority of the
Continuing Directors.
(c) The Issuer shall mail to each holder of Notes at such
holder's last address appearing on the Register, as promptly as
possible but in any event not more than ten days after learning
of an occurrence specified in subclause (b) (i) above or not more
than ten days after an occurrence specified in subclause (b) (ii)
above, a notice stating that the event specified in the notice
has occurred and that each holder has the right to tender such
holder's Notes for cash pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon
demand to the Issuer at any time by any holder of Notes, such
notice shall be mailed to each holder of Notes, unless the Issuer
can demonstrate to the holder's satisfaction that no event
described in clause (b) has occurred.
(d) On or before the sixty-second day after the date of
the notice provided pursuant to clause (c) above, the Issuer
shall set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of
the holders of the Notes to be redeemed an amount of money
sufficient to pay the principal of, and accrued interest on, all
the Notes to be redeemed on the Mandatory Redemption Date.
(e) After giving the notice of redemption as provided
above, the Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Mandatory Redemption
Date, become due and payable at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest and from and after such
date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of principal
and accrued interest thereon) such Notes shall cease to bear
interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in
accordance herewith, such Note shall be paid on the Mandatory
Redemption Date by the Issuer at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the Mandatory
Redemption Date.
If any Note to be redeemed shall not be so paid on the
Mandatory Redemption Date, the principal and accrued interest thereon
shall, until paid, bear interest from the Mandatory Redemption
Date at the Overdue Rate.
(f) Notes may be redeemed in whole or in any integral multiple
of $1,000. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part
shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Issuer designated
for that purpose (with, if the Issuer so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument to transfer in form satis-
factory to the Issuer duly executed by, the holder thereof or
such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing), and the
Issuer shall execute and deliver to the holder of such Note
without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized
denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount.

SECTION 6. Subordination of Notes.
SECTION 6.1. Agreement to Subordinate. The Issuer covenants and agrees,
and each holder of Notes by such holder's acceptance thereof likewise covenants
and agrees, that all Notes shall be issued subject to the provisions of this
Section; and each Person holding any Note, whether upon original issue or upon
transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such
provisions. The provisions of this Section are made for the benefit of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, and such holders shall, at any time, be entitled
to enforce such provisions against the Issuer or any holders of Notes.
All Notes shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter in this
Section set forth, be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 6.2. No Payment on Notes if Senior Indebtedness in Default. No
payment on account of principal or interest on the Notes shall be made unless
full payment of amounts then due for principal, premium, if any, sinking funds
and interest on all Senior Indebtedness has been made or duly provided for. No
payment on account of principal or interest on the Notes shall be made if, at
the time of such payment or immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) there
shall exist a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, sinking
funds or interest with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, or (ii) there shall
have occurred an event of default (other than a default in the payment of
principal, premium, if any, sinking funds or interest) with respect to any
Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the instrument under which the
same is outstanding, permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity
thereof, and such event of default shall not have been cured or waived or shall
not have ceased to exist.
SECTION 6.3. Priority of Senior Indebtedness. In the event of any
insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation,
reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable
Federal or state law, or other similar proceedings in connection therewith,
relative to the Issuer or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in
the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other
winding up of the Issuer or assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other
marshalling of assets of the Issuer, whether or not involving insolvency or
bankruptcy, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive
payment in full of all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all
Senior Indebtedness including interest on such Senior Indebtedness after the
date of filing of a petition or other action commencing such proceeding before
the holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any payment on account of the
principal of or interest on the Notes and any payment or distri- bution of any
kind or character which may be payable or deliver able in any such proceedings
in respect of the
10
<PAGE> 19
Notes, except securities which are subordinate and junior in right of payment
to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness then outstanding, shall be paid by the
person making such payment or distribution directly to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to
the holders of Senior Indebtedness. In the event that any payment or
distribution of cash, property or securities shall be received by the holders of
the Notes in contravention of this Section before all Senior Indebtedness is
paid in full, or provision made for the payment thereof, such payment or
distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their repre- sentative or
representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which
any instrument evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued,
as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay in full
all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
In the event that any Note is declared due and payable before its expressed
maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default (under circumstances
when the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section shall not be
applicable), the holders of the Senior Indebtedness outstanding at the time the
Notes so become due and payable because of such occurrence of such an Event of
Default shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on all Senior Indebtedness before the holders of
the Notes are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or
interest on the Notes.
SECTION 6.4. Subrogation of Notes. Subject to the payment in full of all
Senior Indebtedness, the holders of the Notes shall be subrogated to the rights
of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of
assets of the Issuer made on the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and
interest on the Notes shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such
subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness
of any cash, property or securities to which the holders of the Notes would be
entitled except for the provisions of this Section, and no payment over pursuant
to the provisions of this Section to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by
holders of the Notes, shall, as between the Issuer, its creditors other than the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders of Notes, be deemed to be a
payment by the Issuer to or on account of Senior Indebtedness, and no payments
or distributions to the holders of the Notes of cash, property or securities
payable or distributable to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to which the
holders of the Notes shall become entitled pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, shall, as between the Issuer, its creditors other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, and the holders of the Notes, be
11
<PAGE> 20
deemed to be a payment by the Issuer to the holders of or on account of the
Notes.
SECTION 6.5. Issuer Obligation to Pay Unconditional. The provisions of
this Section are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness on the one hand, and the holders of the Notes on
the other hand, and nothing herein shall impair, as between the Issuer and the
holders of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is unconditional and
absolute, to pay to the holders thereof the principal thereof and interest
thereon in accordance with the terms of the Notes nor shall anything herein
prevent the holders of the Notes from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law or under the Notes upon default under the Notes,
subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness under the provisions of
this Section to receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable or
deliverable to the holders of the Notes.
SECTION 7. Miscellaneous.
SECTION 7.1. Modification of Notes. The Notes may be modified without
prior notice to any holder but with the written consent of the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Notes. Subject to Section 4.1 and Section
4.3, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive
compliance by the Issuer with any provision of the Notes without prior notice to
any holder. However, without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment,
supplement or waiver may not (1) reduce the amount of Notes whose holders must
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, (2) reduce the rate or extend the
time for payment for interest on any Notes, (3) reduce the principal amount of
or extend the fixed maturity of any Notes or alter the redemption provisions
with respect thereto or (4) make any Notes payable in money or property other
than as stated in the Notes.
The Issuer will use its best efforts to qualify an indenture with respect
to this Note at or prior to the time such qualification is required under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or similar law then in effect.
SECTION 7.2. Miscellaneous. This Note shall be deemed to be a contract
under the laws of the State of Michigan and for all purposes shall be construed
in accordance with the laws of said State, except as may otherwise be required
by mandatory provi- sions of law. The parties hereto, including all guarantors
or endorsers, hereby waive presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other
demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance and
enforcement of this Note, except as specifically provided herein, and assent to
extensions of the time of payment, or forbearance or other indulgence without
notice. The holder of this Note by acceptance of this Note agrees to be bound
by the provisions (including the subordination provisions) of this Note
12
<PAGE> 21
which are expressly binding on such holder. In determining whether the
holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any direction, consent or waiver as pro- vided under the Notes, Notes which are
owned by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be disregarded and
deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. The
Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this instrument to be duly
executed under its corporate seal.

Masco Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Masco").
WHEREAS, in addition to certain shares of Company common
stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), and
warrants to purchase Common Stock, Masco holds (i) $130 million
(the "Masco Debentures") of the Company's 6% Convertible

for a period of time in order to facilitate the call for
redemption of all of the Debentures.
WHEREAS, it is in the interest of the Company to repurchase
the Preferred Stock for cash in order to reduce its financing
costs and such repurchase is not inconsistent with Masco's
previously stated intention to reduce its investment in the
Company.
WHEREAS, the Company and Masco have entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 31, 1993 (the

conversion prior to December 15, 1993, the Company will pay Masco
an amount equal to the interest accrued on the Masco Debentures
from the last regular semi-annual interest payment date to the
date of conversion.
2. Repurchase of Preferred Stock. The Company shall
repurchase the Preferred Stock for $100 per share, plus an amount
equal to accrued and unpaid dividends from October 1, 1993 to the
date of repurchase, payable in cash on the date of such
repurchase. Such repurchase shall occur as soon as practicable
after the execution of this Agreement.

as of March 31, 1993.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AMENDED AND
RESTATED SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Amendment is made as of October 31, 1996, between Masco Corporation,
a Delaware corporation ("Masco"), and MascoTech, Inc., f/k/a Masco Industries,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or the "Issuer"), concerning that
certain Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities
Purchase Agreement"), dated as of November 23, 1993, between Masco and the
Company. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall
have the meanings given them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
A. Masco holds 24,824,690 shares of the Common Stock, par value $1.00
per share, of the Company (the "Tech Common Stock");
B. Concurrently herewith, the Company has, among other things,
repurchased from Masco 17,000,000 shares of Tech Common Stock;
C. In connection therewith, Masco and the Company desire to amend
certain provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement as set forth herein.
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this
Amendment, the parties agree to amend the Securities Purchase Agreement as
follows:
1. Paragraph 1(b) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(b) The Securities shall be issued in separate series with the
interest rate on each such series being a rate per annum that is the
higher of: (I) 400 basis points over the average Treasury Rate (as
hereinafter defined) for the week preceding the week in which the
notice of purchase referred to in Paragraph 2 is given to Masco; or
(ii) 75 basis points over the Comparable Debt Issuance Rate (as
hereinafter defined).
"Treasury Rate" means the rate for noncallable direct obligations of
the United States ("Treasury Notes") having a remaining maturity of
five years, as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H.15(519) (or any successor publication provided by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System) under the heading "Treasury
Constant Maturities." If a rate for Treasury Notes having a
remaining maturity of five years has not been so published or
reported for the preceding week as provided above by 1:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the day such notice is given to Masco, then the
Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the
<PAGE> 27
Company and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on
the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily
basis) of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of
approximately 1:30 P.M., New York City time, on the date of such notice, of
three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by
the Company for the purchase of Treasury Notes with a remaining maturity of five
years.
The "Comparable Debt Issuance Rate" means a per annum rate of
interest determined as follows:
Each of the Company and Masco shall select an investment banker
within 3 business days from the date the notice of purchase
referred to in Paragraph 2 is given to Masco, and those two
investment bankers shall have 3 business days to select a third
investment banker. Each of the three investment bankers shall have
qualifications with respect to the sale of debt instruments of
manufacturing and industrial companies. Each of the three
investment bankers shall have 3 business days to determine, in its
good faith opinion, the per annum rate of interest that the Company
would be required to pay if it were to issue the relevant series of
Securities to third party investors in a transaction negotiated at
arms'-length and priced as of the date the notice of purchase
referred to in Paragraph 2 is given to Masco, and each banker shall
set forth its conclusion in a letter addressed to each of Masco and
the Company and delivered to each of them by 12:00 noon EST on the
10th day from the date of the notice of purchase given to Masco.

SECTION 4. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS
(a) Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4(c):
(i) Initial Authorization. There shall be 6,000,000
Shares initially available for issuance under the Plan.
(ii) Acquired Shares. In addition to the amount set
forth above, up to 6,000,000 Shares acquired by the Company
subsequent to the 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders as full
or partial payment for the exercise price for an Option or any
other stock option granted by the Company, or acquired by the
Company, in open market transactions or otherwise, in
connection with the Plan or any Award hereunder or any other
employee stock option or restricted stock issued by the
Company may thereafter be included in the Shares available for
Awards. If any Shares covered by an Award or to which an Award
relates are forfeited, or if an Award expires, terminates or
is cancelled, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to
which such Award relates, or the number of Shares otherwise
counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under
the Plan by reason of such Award, to the extent of any such
forfeiture, expiration, termination or cancellation, may
thereafter be available for further granting of Awards and
included as acquired Shares for purposes of the preceding
sentence.
(iii) Shares Under Prior Plans. In addition to the
amounts set forth above, shares remaining available for
issuance upon any termination of authority to make further
awards under both the Company's 1984 Restricted Stock
Incentive Plan and its 1984 Stock Option Plan shall thereafter
be available for issuance hereunder.
(iv) Accounting for Awards. For purposes of this Section 4,
(A) if an Award (other than a Dividend Equivalent) is
denominated in Shares, the number of Shares covered by such
Award, or to which such Award relates, shall be counted on
the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number
of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan to
the extent determinable on such date and insofar as the
number of Shares is not then determinable under procedures
adopted by the Committee consistent with the purposes of the
Plan; and
(B) Dividend Equivalents and Awards not denominated in
Shares shall be counted against the aggregate number of
Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan in such
amount and at such time as the Committee shall determine
under procedures adopted by the Committee consistent with
the purposes of the Plan;
provided, however, that Awards that operate in tandem with
(whether granted simultaneously with or at a different time
from), or that are substituted for, other Awards or restricted
stock awards or stock options granted under any other plan of
the Company may be counted or not counted under procedures
adopted by the Committee in order to avoid double counting.
Any Shares that are delivered by the Company or its
Affiliates, and any Awards that are granted by, or become
obligations of, the Company, through the assumption by the
Company of, or in substitution
3
<PAGE> 4
for, outstanding restricted stock awards or stock options previously
granted by an acquired company shall not, except in the case of Awards
granted to Participants who are directors or officers of the
Company for purposes of Section 16, be counted against the
Shares available for Granting Awards under the Plan.
(v) Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards. Any
Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or
in part, of authorized but unissued Shares or of Shares
reacquired by the Company, including but not limited to Shares
purchased on the open market.
(b) Individual Stock-Based Awards. Subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 4(c), no Participant may receive Options
or Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan in any calendar year
that relate to more than 1,000,000 Shares in the aggregate;
provided, however, that such number may be increased with respect
to any Participant by any Shares available for grant to such
Participant in accordance with this Paragraph 4(b) in any prior
years that were not granted in such prior year beginning on or
after January 1, 1997. No provision of this Paragraph 4(b) shall
be construed as limiting the amount of any other stock-based or
cash-based Award which may be granted to any Participant.
(c) Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of any dividend or
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other
securities or other property), change in the capital or shares of
capital stock, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off,
combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other
securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights
to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or
extraordinary transaction or event which affects the Shares, then
the Committee shall have the authority to make such adjustment,
if any, in such manner as it deems appropriate, in (i) the number
and type of Shares (or other securities or property) which
thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, (ii) outstanding
Awards including without limitation the number and type of Shares
(or other securities or property) subject thereto, and (iii) the
grant, purchase or exercise price with respect to outstanding
Awards and, if deemed appropriate, make provision for cash
payments to the holders of outstanding Awards; provided, however,
that the number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in
Shares shall always be a whole number.
SECTION 5. ELIGIBILITY
Any employee of or consultant to the Company or any Affiliate,
including any officer of the Company (who may also be a director,
any person who serves only as a director of the Company and any
consultant to the Company or an Affiliate who is also a director
of the Company and who is not rendering services pursuant to a
written agreement with the entity in question), as may be se
lected from time to time by the Committee or by the directors to
whom authority may be delegated pursuant to Section 3 hereof in
its or their discretion, is eligible to be designated a
Participant.
SECTION 6. AWARDS
(a) Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options
to Participants.
(i) Committee Determinations. Subject to the terms of
the Plan, the Committee shall determine:
(A) the purchase price per Share under each Option,
provided, however, that such price shall not be less than
100% of the fair market value of the Shares underlying such
Option on the date of grant;
(B) the term of each Option; and
(C) the time or times at which an Option may be exer
cised, in whole or in part, the method or methods by which
and the form or forms (including, without limitation, cash,
Shares, other Awards or other property, or any combination
thereof, having a fair market value on the exercise date
equal to the relevant exercise price) in which payment of
the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or
deemed to have been made. The terms of any Incentive Stock
Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects
with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any
successor provision thereto, and any regulations promulgated
thereunder.
4
<PAGE> 5
Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may impose
such conditions or restrictions on any Option as it deems
appropriate.
(ii) Other Terms. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee:
(A) A Participant electing to exercise an Option shall
give written notice to the Company, as may be specified by
the Committee, of exercise of the Option and the number of
Shares elected for exercise, such notice to be accompanied
by such instruments or documents as may be required by the
Committee, and shall tender the purchase price of the Shares
elected for exercise.
(B) At the time of exercise of an Option payment in
full in cash or in Shares (that have been held by the
Participant for at least six months) or any combination
thereof, at the option of the Participant, shall be made for
all Shares then being purchased.
(C) The Company shall not be obligated to issue any
Shares unless and until:
(I) if the class of Shares at the time is listed
upon any stock exchange, the Shares to be issued have
been listed, or authorized to be added to the list upon
official notice of issuance, upon such exchange, and
(II) in the opinion of the Company's counsel there
has been compliance with applicable law in connection
with the issuance and delivery of Shares and such
issuance shall have been approved by the Company's
counsel.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Company may require from the Participant such investment
representation or such agreement, if any, as the Company's
counsel may consider necessary in order to comply with the
Securities Act of 1933 as then in effect, and may require
that the Participant agree that any sale of the Shares will
be made only in such manner as shall be in accordance with
law and that the Participant will notify the Company of any
intent to make any disposition of the Shares whether by
sale, gift or otherwise. The Participant shall take any
action reasonably requested by the Company in such
connection. A Participant shall have the rights of a
stockholder only as and when Shares have been actually
issued to the Participant pursuant to the Plan.
(D) If the employment of or consulting arrangement
with a Participant terminates for any reason (including
termination by reason of the fact that an entity is no
longer an Affiliate) other than the Participant's death, the
Participant may thereafter exercise the Option as provided
below, except that the Committee may terminate the
unexercised portion of the Option concurrently with or at
any time following termination of the employment or
consulting arrangement (including termination of employment
upon a change of status from employee to consultant) if it
shall determine that the Participant has engaged in any
activity detrimental to the interests of the Company or an
Affiliate. If such termination is voluntary on the part of
the Participant, the option may be exercised only within ten
days after the date of termination. If such termination is
involuntary on the part of the Participant, if an employee
retires on or after normal retirement date or if the
employment or consulting relationship is terminated by
reason of permanent and total disability, the Option may be
exercised within three months after the date of termination
or retirement. For purposes of this Paragraph (D), a
Participant's employment or consulting arrangement shall not
be considered terminated (i) in the case of approved sick
leave or other bona fide leave of absence (not to exceed one
year), (ii) in the case of a transfer of employment or the
consulting arrangement among the Company and Affiliates, or
(iii) by virtue of a change of status from employee to
consultant or from consultant to employee, except as
provided above.
(E) If a Participant dies at a time when entitled to
exercise an Option, then at any time or times within one
year after death such Option may be exercised, as to all or
any of the Shares which the Participant was entitled to
purchase immediately prior to death. The Company may
decline to deliver Shares to a designated beneficiary until
it receives indemnity against claims of third parties
satisfactory to the Company. Except as so exercised such Option
shall expire at the end of such period.
5
<PAGE> 6
(F) An Option may be exercised only if and to the ex
tent such Option was exercisable at the date of termination
of employment or the consulting arrangement, and an Option
may not be exercised at a time when the Option would not
have been exercisable had the employment or consulting
arrangement continued.
(iii) Restoration Options. The Committee may grant a
Participant the right to receive a restoration Option with
respect to an Option or any other option granted by the
Company. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, a
restoration Option shall provide that the underlying option
must be exercised while the Participant is an employee of or
consultant to the Company or an Affiliate and the number of
Shares which are subject to a restoration Option shall not
exceed the number of whole Shares exchanged in payment of the
original option.
(b) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee is authorized
to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants. Subject to
the terms of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right granted under
the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive,
upon exercise thereof, the excess of (i) the fair market value of
one Share on the date of exercise or, if the Committee shall so
determine in the case of any such right other than one related to
any Incentive Stock Option, at any time during a specified period
before or after the date of exercise over (ii) the grant price of
the right as specified by the Committee. Subject to the terms of
the Plan, the Committee shall determine the grant price, term,
methods of exercise and settlement and any other terms and
conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right and may impose such
conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock
Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate.
(c) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.
(i) Issuance. The Committee is authorized to grant to
Participants Awards of Restricted Stock, which shall consist
of Shares, and Restricted Stock Units which shall give the
Participant the right to receive cash, other securities, other
Awards or other property, in each case subject to the
termination of the Restricted Period determined by the
Committee.
(ii) Restrictions. The Restricted Period may differ
among Participants and may have different expiration dates
with respect to portions of Shares covered by the same Award.
Subject to the terms of the Plan, Awards of Restricted Stock
and Restricted Stock Units shall have such restrictions as the
Committee may impose (including, without limitation,
limitations on the right to vote Restricted Stock or the right
to receive any dividend or other right or property), which
restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such
time or times, in installments or otherwise. Unless the
Committee shall otherwise determine, any Shares or other
securities distributed with respect to Restricted Stock or
which a Participant is otherwise entitled to receive by reason
of such Shares shall be subject to the restrictions contained
in the applicable Award Agreement. Subject to the
aforementioned restrictions and the provisions of the Plan,
Participants shall have all of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock.
(iii) Registration. Restricted Stock granted under the
Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem
appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry
registration or issuance of stock certificates.
(iv) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the
Committee:
(A) If the employment of or consulting arrangement
with a Participant terminates for any reason (including
termination by reason of the fact that any entity is no
longer an Affiliate), other than the Participant's death or
permanent and total disability or, in the case of an
employee, retirement on or after normal retirement date, all
Shares of Restricted Stock theretofore awarded to the
Participant which are still subject to restrictions shall
upon such termination of employment or the consulting
relationship be forfeited and transferred back to the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Paragraph (C)
below, if a Participant continues to hold an Award of
Restricted Stock following termination of the employment or
consulting arrangement (including retirement and termination
of employment upon a change of status from employee to
consultant), the Shares of Restricted Stock which remain sub
ject to restrictions shall nonetheless be forfeited and
transferred back to the Company if the Committee at any time
thereafter determines that the Participant has engaged in
any activity detrimental to the interests of the Company or
an Affiliate. For purposes of this Paragraph (A), a
Participant's employment or consulting arrangement shall not
be considered terminated (i) in the case of approved sick leave
6
<PAGE> 7
or other bona fide leave of absence (not to exceed one
year), (ii) in the case of a transfer of employment or the
consulting arrangement among the Company and Affiliates, or
(iii) by virtue of a change of status from employee to
consultant or from consultant to employee, except as pro
vided above.
(B) If a Participant ceases to be employed or retained
by the Company or an Affiliate by reason of death or
permanent and total disability or if following retirement a
Participant continues to have rights under an Award of Re
stricted Stock and thereafter dies, the restrictions
contained in the Award shall lapse with respect to such
Restricted Stock.
(C) If an employee ceases to be employed by the
Company or an Affiliate by reason of retirement on or after
normal retirement date, the restrictions contained in the
Award of Restricted Stock shall continue to lapse in the
same manner as though employment had not terminated.
(D) At the expiration of the Restricted Period as to
Shares covered by an Award of Restricted Stock, the Company
shall deliver the Shares as to which the Restricted Period
has expired, as follows:
(1) if an assignment to a trust has been made in ac
cordance with Section 6(g)(iv)(B)(2)(c), to such trust;
or
(2) if the Restricted Period has expired by reason
of death and a beneficiary has been designated in form
approved by the Company, to the beneficiary so
designated; or
(3) in all other cases, to the Participant or the
legal representative of the Participant's estate.
(d) Performance Awards. The Committee is authorized to
grant Performance Awards to Participants. Subject to the terms of
the Plan, a Performance Award granted under the Plan (i) may be
denominated or payable in cash, Shares (including, without
limitation, Restricted Stock), other securities, other Awards, or
other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof rights
valued as determined by the Committee and payable to, or
exercisable by, the holder of the Performance Award, in whole or
in part, upon the achievement of such performance goals during
such performance periods as the Committee shall establish.
Subject to the terms of the Plan, the performance goals to be
achieved during any performance period, the length of any
performance period, the amount of any Performance Award granted,
the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any
Performance Award and other terms and conditions shall be
determined by the Committee.
(e) Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to
grant to Participants Awards under which the holders thereof
shall be entitled to receive payments equivalent to dividends or
interest with respect to a number of Shares determined by the
Committee, and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if
any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares
or otherwise reinvested. Subject to the terms of the Plan, such
Awards may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall
determine.
(f) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized
to grant to Participants such other Awards that are denominated
or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to or
otherwise based on or related to Shares (including, without
limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are deemed by
the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan,
provided, however, that such grants to persons who are subject
to Section 16 must comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3.
Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine
the terms and conditions of such Awards. Shares or other securi
ties delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this
Section 6(f) shall be purchased for such consideration, which may
be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms, in
cluding, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities,
other Awards or other property or any combination thereof, as the
Committee shall determine.
(g) General.
(i) No Cash Consideration for Awards. Awards may be
granted for no cash consideration or for such minimal cash
consideration as may be required by applicable law.
7
<PAGE> 8
(ii) Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together.
Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted
either alone or in addition to, in tandem with or in
substitution for any other Award or any award granted under
any other plan of the Company or any Affiliate. Awards granted
in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or in addition
to or in tandem with awards granted under another plan of the
Company or any Affiliate, may be granted either at the same
time as or at a different time from the grant of such other
Awards or awards.
(iii) Forms of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms
of the Plan and of any applicable Award Agreement, payments or
transfers to be made by the Company or an Affiliate upon the
grant, exercise, or payment of an Award may be made in such
form or forms as the Committee shall determine, including,
without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other
Awards, or other property, or any combination thereof, and may
be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or
on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and
procedures established by the Committee. Such rules and
procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the
payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or
deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend
Equivalents in respect of installment or deferred payments.
(iv) Limits on Transfer of Awards.
(A) Except as the Committee may otherwise determine,
no Award or right under any Award may be sold, encumbered,
pledged, alienated, attached, assigned or transferred in any
manner and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be
void and unenforceable against the Company.
(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph (A)
above:
(1) An Option may be transferred:
(a) to a beneficiary designated by the
Participant in writing on a form approved by the
Committee;
(b) by will or the applicable laws of descent and
distribution to the personal representative, executor
or administrator of the Participant's estate; or
(c) to a revocable grantor trust established by
the Participant for the sole benefit of the Participant
during the Participant's life, and under the terms of
which the Participant is and remains the sole trustee
until death or physical or mental incapacity. Such
assignment shall be effected by a written instrument in
form and content satisfactory to the Committee, and the
Participant shall deliver to the Committee a true copy
of the agreement or other document evidencing such
trust. If in the judgment of the Committee the trust to
which a Participant may attempt to assign rights under
such an Award does not meet the criteria of a trust to
which an assignment is permitted by the terms hereof,
or if after assignment, because of amendment, by force
of law or any other reason such trust no longer meets
such criteria, such attempted assignment shall be void
and may be disregarded by the Committee and the Company
and all rights to any such Options shall revert to and
remain solely in the Participant. Notwithstanding a
qualified assignment, the Participant, and not the
trust to which rights under such an Option may be
assigned, for the purpose of determining compensation
arising by reason of the Option shall continue to be
considered an employee or consultant, as the case may
be, of the Company or an Affiliate, but such trust and
the Participant shall be bound by all of the terms and
conditions of the Award Agreement and this Plan. Shares
issued in the name of and delivered to such trust shall
be conclusively considered issuance and delivery to the
Participant.
(2) A Participant may assign or transfer rights
under an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Units:
(a) to a beneficiary designated by the
Participant in writing on a form approved by the
Committee;
8
<PAGE> 9
(b) by will or the applicable laws of descent and
distribution to the personal representative, executor
or administrator of the Participant's estate; or
(c) to a revocable grantor trust established by
the Participant for the sole benefit of the Participant
during the Participant's life, and under the terms of
which the Participant is and remains the sole trustee
until death or physical or mental incapacity. Such
assignment shall be effected by a written instrument in
form and content satisfactory to the Committee, and the
Participant shall deliver to the Committee a true copy
of the agreement or other document evidencing such
trust. If in the judgment of the Committee the trust to
which a Participant may attempt to assign rights under
such an Award does not meet the criteria of a trust to
which an assignment is permitted by the terms hereof,
or if after assignment, because of amendment, by force
of law or any other reason such trust no longer meets
such criteria, such attempted assignment shall be void
and may be disregarded by the Committee and the Company
and all rights to any such Awards shall revert to and
remain solely in the Participant. Notwithstanding a
qualified assignment, the Participant, and not the
trust to which rights under such an Award may be as
signed, for the purpose of determining compensation
arising by reason of the Award shall continue to be
considered an employee or consultant, as the case may
be, of the Company or an Affiliate, but such trust and
the Participant shall be bound by all of the terms and
conditions of the Award Agreement and this Plan. Shares
issued in the name of and delivered to such trust shall
be conclusively considered issuance and delivery to the
Participant.
(3) The Committee shall not permit directors or
officers of the Company for purposes of Section 16 to
transfer or assign Awards except as permitted under Rule
16b-3.
(C) The Committee, the Company and its officers,
agents and employees may rely upon any beneficiary
designation, assignment or other instrument of transfer,
copies of trust agreements and any other documents delivered
to them by or on behalf of the Participant which they
believe genuine and any action taken by them in reliance
thereon shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Participant, the personal representatives of the
Participant's estate and all persons asserting a claim based
on an Award. The delivery by a Participant of a beneficiary
designation, or an assignment of rights under an Award as
permitted hereunder, shall constitute the Participant's
irrevocable undertaking to hold the Committee, the Company
and its officers, agents and employees harmless against
claims, including any cost or expense incurred in defending
against claims, of any person (including the Participant)
which may be asserted or alleged to be based on an Award
subject to a beneficiary designation or an assignment. In
addition, the Company may decline to deliver Shares to a
beneficiary until it receives indemnity against claims of
third parties satisfactory to the Company.
(v) Share Certificates. All certificates for Shares or
other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any
Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop
transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may
deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations and
other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities
are then listed and any applicable Federal or state securities
laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be
put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to
such restrictions.
(vi) Change in Control. (A) Notwithstanding any of the
provisions of this Plan or instruments evidencing Awards
granted hereunder, upon a Change in Control of the Company (as
hereinafter defined) the vesting of all rights of Participants
under outstanding Awards shall be accelerated and all
restrictions thereon shall terminate in order that
Participants may fully realize the benefits thereunder. Such
acceleration shall include, without limitation, the immediate
exercisability in full of all Options and the termination of
restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.
Further, in addition to the Committee's authority set forth in
Section 4(c), the Committee, as constituted before such Change
in Control, is authorized, and has sole discretion, as to any
Award, either at the time such Award is made hereunder or any
time thereafter, to take any one or more of the following
actions: (i) provide for the purchase of any such Award, upon
the Participant's request, for an amount of cash equal to the
amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such
Award or realization of the Participant's rights had such
Award been currently exercisable or payable; (ii) make such
adjustment to any such Award then outstanding
9
<PAGE> 10
as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in Control;
and (iii) cause any such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new
rights substituted therefore, by the acquiring or surviving
after such Change in Control.
(B) With respect to any Award granted hereunder prior
to December 6, 1995, a Change in Control shall occur if:
(1) any "person" or "group of persons" as such
terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act, other than pursuant to a transaction or
agreement previously approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company, directly or indirectly purchases or
otherwise becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) or has the right to
acquire such beneficial ownership (whether or not such
right is exercisable immediately, with the passage of
time, or subject to any condition) of voting securities
representing 25 percent or more of the combined voting
power of all outstanding voting securities of (A) the
Company or (B) Masco Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Masco"); or
(2) during any period of twenty-four consecutive
calendar months, the individuals who at the beginning of
such period constitute the Company's or Masco?s Board of
Directors, and any new directors whose election by such
Board or nomination for election by stockholders was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members
of such Board who were either directors on such Board at
the beginning of the period or whose election or
nomination for election as directors was previously so
approved, for any reason cease to constitute at least a
majority of the members thereof.
(C) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph
(B), with respect to Awards granted hereunder on or after
December 6, 1995, a Change in Control shall occur only if
the event described in this subparagraph (C) shall have
occurred. With respect to any other Award granted prior
thereto, a Change in Control shall occur if any of the
events described in subparagraphs (B) or (C) shall have
occurred, unless the holder of any such Award shall have
consented to the application of this subparagraph (C) in
lieu of the foregoing subparagraph (B). A Change in Control
for purposes of this subparagraph (C) shall occur if, during
any period of twenty-four consecutive calendar months, the
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute
the Company's Board of Directors, and any new directors
(other than Excluded Directors, as hereinafter defined),
whose election by such Board or nomination for election by
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
of the members of such Board who were either directors on
such Board at the beginning of the period or whose election
or nomination for election as directors was previously so
approved, for any reason cease to constitute at least a
majority of the members thereof. For purposes hereof,
"Excluded Directors" are directors whose election by the
Board or approval by the Board for stockholder election
occurred within one year of any "person" or "group of
persons", as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)
of the Exchange Act, commencing a tender offer for, or
becoming the beneficial owner of, voting securities
representing 25 percent or more of the combined voting power
of all outstanding voting securities of the Company, other
than pursuant to a tender offer approved by the Board prior
to its commencement or pursuant to stock acquisitions
approved by the Board prior to their representing 25 percent
or more of such combined voting power.
(D)(1) In the event that subsequent to a Change in
Control it is determined that any payment or distribution by
the Company to or for the benefit of a Participant, whether
paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to
the terms of this Plan or otherwise, other than any payment
pursuant to this subparagraph (D) (a "Payment"), would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the
Code or any interest or penalties with respect to such
excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest
and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as
the "Excise Tax"), then such Participant shall be entitled
to receive from the Company, within 15 days following the
determination described in (2) below, an additional payment
("Excise Tax Adjustment Payment") in an amount such that
after payment by such Participant of all applicable Federal,
state and local taxes (computed at the maximum marginal
rates and including any interest or penalties imposed with
respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed
upon the Excise Tax Adjustment Payment, such Participant
retains an amount of the Excise Tax Adjustment Payment equal
to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.
10
<PAGE> 11
(2) All determinations required to be made under this
Section 6(g)(vi)(D), including whether an Excise Tax
Adjustment Payment is required and the amount of such
Excise Tax Adjustment Payment, shall be made by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or such other national
accounting firm as the Company, or, subsequent to a
Change in Control, the Company and the Participant
jointly, may designate, for purposes of the Excise Tax,
which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to
the Company and the affected Participant within 15
business days of the date of the applicable Payment.
Except as hereinafter provided, any determination by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or such other national
accounting firm, shall be binding upon the Company and
the Participant. As a result of the uncertainty in the
application of Section 4999 of the Code that may exist
at the time of the initial determination hereunder, it
is possible that (x) certain Excise Tax Adjustment
Payments will not have been made by the Company which
should have been made (an "Underpayment"), or (y)
certain Excise Tax Adjustment Payments will have been
made which should not have been made (an
"Overpayment"), consistent with the calculations
required to be made hereunder. In the event of an
Underpayment, such Underpayment shall be promptly paid
by the Company to or for the benefit of the affected
Participant. In the event that the Participant
discovers that an Overpayment shall have occurred, the
amount thereof shall be promptly repaid to the Company.
(3) This Section 6(g)(vi)(D) shall not apply to any
Award (x) that was granted prior to February 17, 1993
and (y) the holder of which is an executive officer of
the Company, as determined under the Exchange Act.
(vii) Cash Settlement. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Plan or of any Award Agreement to the contrary, any Award
outstanding hereunder may at any time be cancelled in the
Committee's sole discretion upon payment of the value of such
Award to the holder thereof in cash or in another Award
hereunder, such value to be determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion.
SECTION 7. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless
otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the
Plan:
(a) Amendments to the Plan. The Board of Directors of the
Company may amend the Plan and the Board of Directors or the
Committee may amend any outstanding Award; provided, however,
that (i) no Plan amendment shall be effective until approved by
stockholders of the Company insofar as stockholder approval
thereof is required in order for the Plan to continue to satisfy
the conditions of Rule 16b-3, and (ii) without the consent of
affected Participants no amendment of the Plan or of any Award
may impair the rights of Participants under outstanding Awards,
and (iii) no Option may be amended to reduce its initial exercise
price other than in connection with an event described in Section
4(c) hereof.
(b) Waivers. The Committee may waive any conditions or
rights under any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or
retroactively, without the consent of any Participant.
(c) Adjustments of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain
Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Committee shall be au
thorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and
the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or
nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events
described in Section 4(b) hereof) affecting the Company, any
Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any
Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or
accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that
such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits to be made
available under the Plan.
(d) Correction of Defects, Omissions, and Inconsistencies.
The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or
reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the
manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to effectuate
the Plan.
11
<PAGE> 12
SECTION 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other person
shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and
there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Par
ticipants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan.
The terms and conditions of Awards of the same type and the
determination of the Committee to grant a waiver or modification
of any Award and the terms and conditions thereof need not be the
same with respect to each Participant.
(b) Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate shall be
authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due
or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan the amount (in
cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property)
of withholding taxes due in respect of an Award, its exercise or
any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to
take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the
Company or Affiliate to satisfy all obligations for the payment
of such taxes.
(c) No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing
contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate
from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional
compensation arrangements, including the grant of options and
other stock-based awards, and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
(d) No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall
not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained
in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the
Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant
from employment, free from any liability, or any claim under the
Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any
Award Agreement or other written agreement with the Participant.
(e) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect
of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan
shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of
Michigan and applicable Federal law.
(f) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any
Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or un
enforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or Award, or
would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed
applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or
deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be
so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of
the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the
Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction,
person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award
shall remain in full force and effect.
(g) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any
Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate
fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company
or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the
extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from
the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right
shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.
(h) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be
issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the
Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities, or
other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any
fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any
rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise
eliminated.
(i) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and
subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate
reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material
or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or
any provision thereof.
SECTION 9. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN
The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its approval by
the Company's stockholders.
