Securities to be registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Act: None (Title of class) 2 ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED On May 1, 1995, ITT Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Financial"), merged with and into (the "Merger") ITT Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"). Upon consummation of the Merger, the Registrant assumed the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium and interest on the securities to be registered hereunder (the "Debentures"). The Debentures were originally issued by Financial pursuant to a Prospectus, dated June 22, 1978 (the "Prospectus"), which was included in Financial's Registration Statement on Form S-7 (No. 2-61822) relating to the Debentures (the "Registration Statement"). The Debentures were registered by Financial pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 at the time of their original issuance in connection with their listing on the New York Stock Exchange. The Debentures were issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 15, 1978 (the "Indenture"), between Financial and Harris Trust and Savings Bank as original trustee (the "Trustee"). Subsequent to the filing of the Registration Statement and issuance of the Debentures, the Indenture has been supplemented and amended (the "Amended Indenture") pursuant to (i) a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 31, 1993 between Financial and the Trustee; (ii) an Instrument of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance dated as of September 1, 1994 among Financial, the Trustee and The First National Bank of Boston (the "Successor Trustee"); (iii) a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 1, 1995 between Financial and the Successor Trustee; and (iv) a Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 31, 1995 among the Registrant, Financial, and the Successor Trustee. The Debentures are unsecured general obligations of the Registrant, limited to $125,000,000 principal amount, issued in fully registered form, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The Debentures are not subject to any subordination provisions. The Debentures were subject to maturity at the holder's option on June 15, 1987 and June 15, 1992, are subject to maturity at the holder's option on June 15, 1997 (as described below) and will mature on June 15, 2003. The Debentures are not redeemable at the option of the Registrant prior to maturity. $109,901,000 aggregate principal amount of the Debentures are currently outstanding. Principal is payable, and the Debentures may be transferred or exchanged without any service charge, at the corporate trust office of the Successor Trustee, presently located at 150 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 or at the corporate trust facility of the Successor Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York presently located at 55 Broadway, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10006 (c/o BancBoston Trust Company of New York). 3 Interest at the annual rate of 8 7/8% is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 to the persons in whose names the Debentures are registered at the close of business on the preceding May 31 or November 30, respectively, and unless other arrangements are made, will be paid by checks mailed to such person. The following summary of certain provisions of the Amended Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Indenture. All article and section references appearing herein are to articles and sections of the Amended Indenture, and all capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings specified in the Amended Indenture. MATURITY AT HOLDER'S OPTION The registered holder of each Debenture may elect, during the year 1997, to have the principal of his Debenture, or any portion thereof which is a multiple of $1,000, mature on June 15 of such year. Such election, which is irrevocable when made, must be made within the period commencing February 15 and ending at the close of business on March 15 of such year, by surrender of the Debenture at the above-mentioned office of the Successor Trustee in Canton, Massachusetts or, at the option of the registered holder, at the office of the Successor Trustee's above-mentioned New York facility, with the form of Option to Elect Early Maturity Date on the Debenture duly completed. (Section 2.03) LIMITATIONS ON LIENS The Registrant and its Domestic Subsidiaries are prohibited from creating or suffering to be created or assuming any mortgage or other liens upon any Principal Property (as defined below) without securing the Debentures equally and ratably with all indebtedness secured thereby (subject to any applicable subordination provisions), with the following exceptions: (a) mortgages or other liens on any such property acquired, constructed or improved by the Registrant or a Domestic Subsidiary to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price of such property or other cost of such construction or improvement, or any mortgage or other lien on any such property existing at the time of acquisition thereof; (b) any mortgage or other lien on any such property existing at the time it is acquired by merger, consolidation or acquisition of the stock or substantially all the assets of another company; (c) pledges or deposits to secure payment of workers' compensation or insurance premiums, or relating to tenders, bids, contracts (except contracts for the payment of money) or leases; (d) pledges or liens in connection with tax assessments or other governmental charges, or as security required by law or governmental regulation as a condition to the transaction of any business or the exercise of any privilege or right; (e) pledges -2- 4 or liens to secure a stay of process in proceedings to enforce a contested liability, or required in connection with the institution of legal proceedings or in connection with any other order or decree in any such proceeding or in connection with any contest of any tax or other governmental charge, or deposits with a governmental agency entitling the Registrant or a Domestic Subsidiary to maintain self-insurance or to participate in other specified insurance arrangements; (f) mechanics', carriers', workmen's and other like liens; (g) encumbrances in favor of the U.S. Government to secure progress or advance payments; (h) mortgages, pledges or other liens securing any indebtedness incurred to finance the cost of property leased to the U.S. Government at a rental sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such indebtedness; (i) mortgages or other liens securing indebtedness of a Domestic Subsidiary to the Registrant or to a Domestic Subsidiary; (j) mortgages, pledges or other liens affecting property securing indebtedness of a governmental authority issued to finance the cost of a pollution control program with respect to operations of the Registrant or a Domestic Subsidiary; (k) renewals and extensions of any permitted mortgage, lien, deposit or encumbrance, provided the amount secured is not increased; and (l) the creation of any other mortgage, pledge or other lien, if, after giving effect to the creation thereof, the total of (i) the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness of the Registrant and its Domestic Subsidiaries secured by all mortgages, pledges or other liens created under the provisions referred to in this clause (l), plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Capitalized Lease-Back Obligations of the Registrant and its Domestic Subsidiaries under the entire unexpired terms of all leases entered into in connection with sale and lease-back transactions which would have been precluded by the "limitations on sale and lease-backs" covenant but for the satisfaction of the condition described below in clause (ii) of such covenant, will not exceed an amount equal to 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. (Section 4.08) The lease of any property and rental obligations thereunder (whether or not involving a sale and leaseback and whether or not capitalized) shall not be deemed to create a lien. The sale or other transfer of (a) timber or other natural resources in place for a period of time until, or in an amount such that, the purchaser will realize therefrom a specified amount of money (however determined) or a specified amount of such resources, or (b) any other interest in property of the character commonly referred to as a "production payment", shall not be deemed to create a lien. (Section 4.08) The Amended Indenture does not require the Registrant to maintain any Domestic Subsidiaries, and will permit the Registrant to designate any or all of its subsidiaries to be not subject to either this limitations on liens covenant or the limitations on sale and lease-backs covenant described below and, accordingly, if the Registrant elects not to maintain any Domestic Subsidiaries or to make such designations, the Amended -3- 5 Indenture would not provide any limitations under such covenants on the activity of any subsidiary of the Registrant. The term "Principal Property" is defined in the Amended Indenture to mean any single manufacturing or processing facility, owned by the Registrant or any Domestic Subsidiary and having a gross book value in excess of 2% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, except any such facility or portion thereof which the Board of Directors of the Registrant by resolution declares is not of material importance to the total business conducted by the Registrant and its Domestic Subsidiaries as an entirety. (Section 1.01) LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASE-BACKS The Amended Indenture provides that neither the Registrant nor any Domestic Subsidiary may enter into any sale and lease-back transaction (except for temporary leases of a term of not more than three years and except for leases between the Registrant and a Domestic Subsidiary or between Domestic Subsidiaries) involving any Principal Property more than 120 days after the acquisition thereof or the completion of construction and commencement of full operation thereof, unless either (i) the Registrant applies an amount equal to the greater of the fair value (as determined by the Registrant's Board of Directors) of such property or the net proceeds of such sale, within 120 days, to the retirement of the Debentures or other indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Debentures (subject to any applicable provisions), or to the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities or equipment used for operating purposes which are, or upon such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal Property or a part thereof, or (ii) at the time of entering into such transaction, such Principal Property could have been subjected to a mortgage securing indebtedness in a principal amount equal of the Capitalized Lease-Back Obligation with respect to such Principal Property under clause (l) of the limitations on liens covenant described above without securing the Debentures as contemplated by that provision. (Section 4.11) MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE The Amended Indenture contains provisions permitting the Registrant and the Successor Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Debentures at the time outstanding, to modify the Amended Indenture or any supplemental indenture or the rights of the holders of the Debentures, except that no such modification shall (i) extend the fixed maturity, or the earlier date or dates of maturity elected by the registered holder as described above, of any Debenture, reduce the principal amount thereof or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, without the consent of the holder of each Debenture so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the consent of the -4- 6 holders of which is required for any such modification, without the consent of the holders of all Debentures then outstanding. (Section 10.02) EVENTS OF DEFAULT An Event of Default is defined in the Amended Indenture as being: default for 30 days in payment of any interest; default in payment of principal; default by the Registrant in performance of any other of the covenants or agreements in the Amended Indenture which shall not have been remedied for a period of 60 days after notice; the rendering against the Registrant or a subsidiary of final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $500,000 and the failure to satisfy such judgment or to appeal therefrom (or from the order, decree or process pursuant to which such judgment was granted, passed, entered or affirmed) and to obtain a stay of execution thereof within the period prescribed by law for appeals, and to have such judgment discharged within 90 days after the expiration of such period or the period of any such stay, whichever shall later expire; default in the payment of the principal of any bond, note or other evidence of indebtedness of, or assumed by, the Registrant or any subsidiary, in an outstanding principal amount aggregating not less than $500,000, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by declaration, by call for redemption, or otherwise, or default in the payment of any installment of interest, when and as the same shall become due and payable, on any such bond, note or other evidence of indebtedness, the aggregate principal amount of which is not less than $500,000, and continuance of such default for the period of grace, if any, provided for therein, and the time for payment of such principal or interest shall not have been effectively extended, unless the Registrant or such subsidiary is contesting in good faith its liability for the payment of the principal or the installment of interest in question and shall have been advised by its counsel that it has a meritorious defense thereto; or certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Registrant. The Amended Indenture provides that the Successor Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the Debentures of any default (except in payment of principal of or interest on the Debentures) if the Successor Trustee considers it in the interest of holders of the Debentures to do so. (Section 6.10) The Amended Indenture provides that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Successor Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding may declare the principal of all the Debentures to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults (except, unless theretofore cured, a default in payment of principal of or interest on the Debentures) may be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding. (Sections 6.01 and 6.09) -5- 7 The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Successor Trustee under the Amended Indenture, provided that the holders of the Debentures shall have offered to the Successor Trustee reasonable indemnity against expenses and liabilities. (Sections 6.09 and 7.02) The Amended Indenture requires the annual filing by the Registrant with the Successor Trustee of a certificate as to compliance with the principal covenants contained in the Amended Indenture. (Section 4.10) THE SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE The Successor Trustee currently serves as trustee with respect to twenty-five other series of debt securities issued by Financial under other indentures and assumed by the Registrant incident to the Merger. The Registrant and certain of its subsidiaries maintain bank accounts, borrow money and have other customary banking relationships with the Successor Trustee in the ordinary course of business.

Rutterer Assistant Secretary EX-1.5 4 SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 1 Exhibit 1.5 SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of March 1, 1995 between ITT Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and The First National Bank of Boston, a national banking association, as successor trustee (the "Trustee") under the Indenture dated as of June 15, 1978 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the "Indenture"). WHEREAS, pursuant to the Indenture, the Company has issued its 8-7/8% Senior Debentures due June 15, 2003 (the "Securities"); and WHEREAS, Section 10.02 of the Indenture provides, among other things, that, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding ("Requisite Consent"), the Company and the Trustee may enter into indentures supplemental to the Indenture for, among other things, adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture; and WHEREAS, pursuant to its Consent Solicitation Statement dated January 11, 1995, the Company has solicited and obtained the Requisite Consent to amend certain provisions of the Indenture ("the Amendments"), which Amendments would become effective at the time of the Merger (as hereinafter defined); and WHEREAS, the Company may in the future determine to merge with and into its parent company, ITT Corporation (the "Merger"). NOW THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH: That in order to effect the Amendments in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Indenture, the Company hereby covenants and agrees with the Trustee, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all the present and future holders of the Securities, as follows: ARTICLE ONE AMENDMENTS TO THE INDENTURE SECTION 1.01. Amendment to Section 1.01. (a) Section 1.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting therefrom the definitions of "Domestic Subsidiary" and "Subsidiary" in their entirety and substituting, in lieu thereof, the following: "Domestic Subsidiary" means each Subsidiary which is neither a Foreign Subsidiary nor an Unrestricted Subsidiary. "Subsidiary" means any corporation more than 50% of the voting stock of which at the time is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company or the accounts of which are in fact consolidated with the accounts of the Company. 2 (b) Section 1.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended by inserting therein the following: "Capitalized Lease-Back Obligation" means with respect to a Principal Property, at any date as of which the same is to be determined, the total net rental obligations of the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary under a lease of such Principal Property entered into as part of an arrangement to which the provisions of Section 4.08 are applicable (or would have been applicable had such Domestic Subsidiary been a Domestic Subsidiary at the time it entered into such lease), discounted to the date of computation at the rate of 9% per annum. The amount of the net rental obligation for any calendar year under any lease shall be the sum of the rental and other payments required to be paid in such calendar year by the lessee thereunder, not including, however, any amounts required to be paid by such lessee (whether or not therein designated as rental or additional rental) on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar charges. "Consolidated Net Tangible Assets" means the total of all assets appearing in a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (and as of a date not more than 90 days prior to the date as of which Consolidated Net Tangible Assets are to be determined), less the sum of the following items as shown on said consolidated balance sheet: (i) the book amount of all segregated intangible assets, including, without limitation, such items as goodwill, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, copyrights, patents, patent rights and licenses, and unamortized debt discount and expense less unamortized debt premium; (ii) all depreciation, valuation and other reserves; (iii) current liabilities; (iv) any minority interest in the stock and surplus of Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company; (v) the investment of the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries in any Subsidiary of the Company which is not a Domestic Subsidiary; (vi) deferred income and deferred liabilities; and (vii) other items deductible under generally accepted accounting principles. 3 3 "Fair Value" when used with respect to property means the fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. "Foreign Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary substantially all of the operating assets of which are located, or substantially all of the business of which is carried on, outside the United States of America and any territory or possession of the United States of America, but such term shall not include any Subsidiary which is incorporated under the laws of any state of the United States of America and substantially all of the assets of which consist of securities of other Subsidiaries. "Principal Property" means any single manufacturing or processing facility owned by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary having a gross book value in excess of 2% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, except any such facility or portion thereof which the Board of Directors by resolution declares is not of material importance to the total business conducted by the Company and its Domestic Subsidiaries as an entirety. "Restricted Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary. "Unrestricted Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary which has been designated by Board Resolution as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, other than any such Subsidiary as to which such a designation has been rescinded by Board Resolution and not thereafter, or after some subsequent such rescission, restored by Board Resolution, and any Subsidiary less than 50% of the voting stock of which is owned directly by the Company and/or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries. A Subsidiary may not be designated as (or otherwise permitted to become) an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless, immediately after such Subsidiary becomes an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary would not own any capital stock of, or hold any indebtedness of, any Restricted Subsidiary. A designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary may not be rescinded (or an Unrestricted Subsidiary otherwise permitted to become a Restricted Subsidiary) unless such Subsidiary (i) is not a party to any lease which it would have been prohibited by Section 4.11 from entering into had it been a Restricted Subsidiary at the time it entered into such lease, unless (x) such Subsidiary had not been a Restricted Subsidiary prior to its entering into such lease, or (y) the Property subject to such lease shall be owned by the Company and/or one or more Domestic Subsidiaries, or (z) such Subsidiary would not be prohibited by Section 4.11 from entering into such lease immediately after it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, and (ii) does not have outstanding upon any of its property any mortgage, pledge or other lien which it would be prohibited by Section 4.08 from creating, 4 4 suffering to be created, or assuming, immediately after it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary. Upon any designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or any rescission of any such designation, the Company shall, within 30 days of the date of the adoption of the Board Resolution effecting such action, deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Board Resolution together with an Officers' Certificate to the effect that such action is in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. (c) Section 1.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting therefrom the definitions of "Controlled Morris Plan Corporation", "Designated Foreign Corporation", "Morris Plan Corporation" and "Net Income". SECTION 1.02. Amendment to Section 4.05. Section 4.05 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting such Section 4.05 in its entirety and substituting, in lieu thereof, the following: Section 4.05. Intentionally omitted. SECTION 1.03. Amendment to Section 4.07. Section 4.07 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting such Section 4.07 in its entirety and substituting, in lieu thereof, the following: Section 4.07. Intentionally omitted. SECTION 1.04. Amendment to Section 4.08. Section 4.08 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting such Section 4.08 in its entirety and substituting, in lieu thereof, the following: Section 1.04. Limitations on Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any Domestic Subsidiary to, create, suffer to be created, or assume (directly or indirectly) any mortgage, pledge or other lien upon any Principal Property, unless effective provision is made by the Company to secure directly the Securities of all series by such mortgage, pledge or other lien, equally and ratably with any and all other indebtedness thereby secured, so long as any such indebtedness shall be so secured; provided, however, that this Section shall not apply to any of the following: (a) any mortgage, pledge or other lien on any Principal Property hereafter acquired, constructed or improved by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary which is created or assumed to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price of such property or the cost of such construction or improvement, or any mortgage, pledge or other lien on any Principal Property existing at the time of acquisition thereof, provided, however, that in the case of any such acquisition the mortgage, pledge or other lien shall not extend to any Principal Property 5 5 theretofore owned by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary; (b) any mortgage, pledge or other lien existing upon any property of a company which is merged with or into or is consolidated into, or substantially all the assets or shares of capital stock of which are acquired by, the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary, at the time of such merger, consolidation or acquisition, provided that such mortgage, pledge or other lien does not extend to any other Principal Property, other than improvements to the property subject to such mortgage, pledge or other lien; (c) any pledge or deposit to secure payment of workmen's compensation or insurance premiums, or in connection with tenders, bids, contracts (other than contracts for the payment of money) or leases; (d) any pledge of, or other lien upon, any assets as security for the payment of any tax, assessment or other similar charge by any governmental authority or public body, or as security required by law or governmental regulation as a condition to the transaction or any business or the exercise of any privilege or right; (e) any pledge or lien necessary to secure a stay of any legal or equitable process in a proceeding to enforce a liability or obligation contested in good faith by the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary or required in connection with the institution by the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary of any legal or equitable proceeding to enforce a right or to obtain a remedy claimed in good faith by the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary, or required in connection with any order or decree in any such proceeding or in connection with any contest of any tax or other governmental charge; or the making of any deposit with or the giving of any form of security to any governmental agency or any body created or approved by law or governmental regulation in order to entitle the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary to maintain self-insurance or to participate in any fund in connection with workmen's compensation, unemployment insurance, old age pensions or other social security or to share in any provisions or other benefits provided for companies participating in any such arrangement or for liability on insurance of credits or other risks; (f) any mechanics', carriers', workmen's, repairmen's or other like liens, if arising in the ordinary course of business, in respect of obligations 6 6 which are not overdue or liability for which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (g) any lien or encumbrance on property in favor of the United States of America, or of any agency, department or other instrumentality thereof, to secure partial, progress or advance payments pursuant to the provisions of any contract; (h) any mortgage, pledge or other lien securing any indebtedness incurred in any manner to finance or recover the cost to the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary of any physical property, real or personal, which prior to or simultaneously with the creation of such indebtedness shall have been leased by the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary to the United States of America or a department or agency thereof at an aggregate rental, payable during that portion of the initial term of such lease (without giving effect to any options of renewal or extension) which shall be unexpired at the date of the creation of such indebtedness, sufficient (taken together with any amounts required to be paid by the lessee to the lessor upon any termination of such lease) to pay in full at the stated maturity date or dates thereof the principal of and the interest on such indebtedness; (i) any mortgage, pledge or other lien securing indebtedness of a Domestic Subsidiary to the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary, provided, that in the case of any sale or other disposition of such indebtedness by the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary, such sale or other disposition shall be deemed to constitute the creation of another mortgage, pledge or other lien; (j) any mortgage, pledge or other lien affecting property of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary securing indebtedness of the United States of America or a State thereof (or any instrumentality or agency of either thereof) issued in connection with a pollution control or abatement program required in the opinion of the Company to meet environmental criteria with respect to manufacturing or processing operations of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary and the proceeds of which indebtedness have financed the cost of acquisition of such program; (k) the renewal, extension, replacement or refunding of any mortgage, pledge, lien, deposit, charge or other encumbrance permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Section upon the same property theretofore subject thereto, or the renewal, extension, replacement or refunding of the amount secured thereby, 7 7 provided that in each case such amount outstanding at that time shall not be increased; or (l) any other mortgage, pledge or other lien, provided that immediately after the creation or assumption of such mortgage, pledge or other lien, the total of (i) the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness of the Company and Domestic Subsidiaries secured by all mortgages, pledges and other liens created or assumed under the provisions of this clause (l), plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Capitalized Lease-Back Obligations of the Company and Domestic Subsidiaries under the entire unexpired terms of all leases entered into in connection with sale and lease-back transactions which would have been precluded by the provisions of Section 4.11 but for the satisfaction of the condition set forth in clause (ii) thereof, shall not exceed an amount equal to 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Neither (a) the lease of any property by the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary and rental obligations with respect thereto (whether or not arising out of sale and lease-back of properties and whether or not in accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting such property is carried as an asset and such rental obligations are carried as indebtedness on the Company's or a Domestic Subsidiary's balance sheet) nor (b) the sale or other transfer of (i) timber or other natural resources in place for a period of time until, or in an amount such that, the purchaser will realize therefrom a specified amount of money (however determined) or a specified amount of such resources, or (ii) any other interest in property of the character commonly referred to as a "production payment", shall in any event be deemed to be the creation of a mortgage, pledge or other lien. SECTION 1.05. Amendment to Article FOUR. Article FOUR of the Indenture is hereby amended by inserting therein the following new Section 4.11: Section 4.11. Limitation on Sale and Lease-Backs. The Company will not, nor will it permit any Domestic Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person providing for the leasing by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary of any Principal Property (except for temporary leases for a term of not more than three years and except for leases between the Company and a Domestic Subsidiary or between Domestic Subsidiaries), which property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary to such person more than 120 days after the acquisition thereof or the completion of construction and commencement of full operation thereof, unless either (i) the Company shall apply an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Value of such 8 8 property or the net proceeds of such sale, within 120 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement or by way of payment at maturity) of Securities or indebtedness ranking on a parity with the Securities or to the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities or equipment used for operating purposes which are, or upon such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal Property or a part thereof; or (ii) at the time of entering into such arrangement, such Principal Property could have been subjected to a mortgage securing indebtedness of the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary in a principal amount equal to the Capitalized Lease-Back Obligation with respect to such Principal Property under clause (1) of Section 4.08 without also securing the Securities pursuant to such Section 4.08.
