Exhibit 1.1          

EXECUTION VERSION

GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION
UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
STANDARD PROVISIONS

December 5, 2012

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), may from time to time enter into one or more underwriting agreements in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (each an “Underwriting Agreement”) that provide for the sale of certain of its securities specified in the particular Underwriting Agreement (the “Securities”) specified in Schedule I to such Underwriting Agreement (with respect to such Underwriting Agreement, the “Firm Securities”). If specified in the Underwriting Agreement, the Company may grant to the Underwriters (as defined below) the right to purchase at their election an additional number of Securities, specified in such Underwriting Agreement (the “Optional Securities”). The Firm Securities and the Optional Securities, if any, which the Underwriters elect to purchase pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement are collectively called the “Designated Securities.” The basic provisions set forth herein to the extent applicable to securities of the type represented by the Designated Securities will be incorporated by reference in any such Underwriting Agreement relating to a particular issue of Designated Securities. Each Underwriting Agreement will be entered into, with such additions and deletions as the parties thereto may determine and shall be specified in such Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement may appoint a lead underwriter or underwriters (collectively, the “Representative”) for the particular issue of Designated Securities and will specify the underwriters participating in such offering (the “Underwriters,” which term shall include any Underwriter substituted pursuant to Section 9 hereof). The obligation of the Company to issue and sell any of the Designated Securities and the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase any of the Designated Securities shall be evidenced by the Underwriting Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified therein. The Underwriting Agreement, including the provisions incorporated therein by reference, is herein referred to as “this Agreement.” The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement shall be several and not joint. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as defined therein.

          The terms and rights of any particular issue of Designated Securities shall be as specified in the Underwriting Agreement relating thereto and (i) if the Designated Securities are either senior or subordinated debt securities (“Debt Securities”), in or pursuant to the senior or subordinated indenture as applicable (the “Indenture”) identified in the Underwriting Agreement, (ii) if the Designated Securities are warrants (“Warrants”), in or pursuant to a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) identified in the Underwriting Agreement and (iii) if the Designated Securities are debt securities subject to the warrants (“Warrant Debt Securities”), pursuant to the Indenture identified in the Underwriting Agreement. An Underwriting Agreement shall be in the form of an executed writing (which may be in


counterparts), and may be evidenced by an exchange of telegraphic communications or any other rapid transmission device designed to produce a written record of communications transmitted.

          An automatic shelf registration statement as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) in respect of the Designated Securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”); the registration statement has become effective pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) and the Indentures filed as exhibits to the registration statement have been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “1939 Act”); and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission. The Company proposes to file pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act a prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Designated Securities and reflecting the terms of the Designated Securities and plan of distribution arising from the Underwriting Agreement (the “Pricing Supplement”) and has previously advised the Underwriters of all information to be set forth therein. The term “Registration Statement” as used with respect to a particular issue of Designated Securities, means the registration statement, as amended at the time of such registration statement’s effectiveness for purposes of Section 11 of the 1933 Act as such section applies to the Company and the Underwriters for the Designated Securities pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) under the 1933 Act (the “Effective Time”), including (i) all documents then filed as a part thereof or incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and (ii) any information contained or incorporated by reference in a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act, to the extent such information is deemed, pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(1) under the 1933 Act, to be part of the Registration Statement at the Effective Time. The term “Basic Prospectus” means the prospectus included in the Registration Statement exclusive of the Pricing Supplement. The term “Prospectus” means the Basic Prospectus together with the Pricing Supplement in the form first used in the offering of the Designated Securities. The term “Preliminary Prospectus” means a preliminary prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Designated Securities together with the Basic Prospectus. The term “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus” as used herein means the documents relating to the Designated Securities attached as Schedule II to the Underwriting Agreement for the Designated Securities (together with the Preliminary Prospectus, the “Pricing Disclosure Material”).

          All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus, as the case may be, prior to the execution of the applicable Underwriting Agreement; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus, as the case may be, after the execution of the applicable Underwriting Agreement.

                    (3) each Preliminary Prospectus, if any, relating to the Designated Securities filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations;

                    (4) (i) at the Effective Time, the Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) at the Pricing Effective Time, the Pricing Disclosure Material (as defined below) did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (iii) the Prospectus as of the date of the Pricing Supplement will not, and the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented, other than as to supplements relating only to securities other than the Designated Securities) as of the Closing Time will not, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

except that these representations and warranties do not apply to (a) statements or omissions in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any amendments or supplements to the foregoing, or in the Pricing Disclosure Material, based upon information furnished to the Company in writing by any Underwriter expressly for use therein and (b) any Form T-1 Statement of Eligibility and Qualification included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement;

                    (5) the Registration Statement constitutes an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) filed within three years of the date hereof; no notice of objection of the Commission with respect to the use of the Registration Statement

pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the 1933 Act has been received by the Company; and the Company is a “well-known seasoned issuer” and is not an ineligible issuer in each case as defined in Rule 405 at the “determination dates” relevant to the offering and sale of the Designated Securities under the Registration Statement (as described in such definition); and

                    (6) the Company has not used any free writing prospectus other than a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or used a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus except in compliance with Rule 433 under the 1933 Act and otherwise in compliance with the 1933 Act.

          Section 2. Pricing Effective Time; Sale and Delivery; Closing.

          (A) Effectiveness of Underwriting Agreement and Sales Confirmations. The Underwriting Agreement shall not be effective, and the Underwriters agree that no contracts of sale may be entered into by the Underwriters in respect of the Designated Securities, until the “Pricing Effective Time” specified in the Underwriting Agreement. The “Pricing Effective Time” shall occur and be confirmed by specification in the Underwriting Agreement. The documents and other information comprising the “Pricing Disclosure Material” shall be set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

          (B) Delayed Delivery Contracts. Pursuant to the applicable Underwriting Agreement, the Company will agree to sell to the several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto and the Underwriters, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, will agree to purchase from the Company severally and not jointly, (i) the principal amounts of Debt Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I thereto, less their respective amounts of the Contract Debt Securities (as hereinafter defined), if any, determined as provided below, and/or (ii) Warrants to purchase the principal amounts of Warrant Debt Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I thereto, less their respective amounts of the Contract Warrants (as hereinafter defined), if any, determined as provided below, all at the respective purchase prices set forth in such Underwriting Agreement, plus accrued interest, if any, from the date set forth therein to the date of payment and delivery. Debt Securities and, if applicable, Warrants to be purchased pursuant to delayed delivery contracts are hereinafter referred to as “Contract Debt Securities” and “Contract Warrants,” respectively, and collectively as the “Contract Securities.”

          If so indicated in the applicable Underwriting Agreement, the Company may authorize the Underwriters to solicit offers to purchase Contract Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein pursuant to delayed delivery contracts (hereinafter referred to as “Delayed Delivery Contracts”). Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors approved by the Company and described in the Prospectus. The aggregate principal amount of Contract Debt Securities and the aggregate principal amount of Warrant Debt Securities for which Contract Warrants are exercisable shall not exceed the respective amounts set forth in Schedule I to the applicable Underwriting Agreement. As of the Closing Time, the Company will pay to the Representative as compensation, for the accounts of the Underwriters, the fee specified in the applicable Underwriting Agreement in respect of all Contract Securities. The Underwriters will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or the performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts.

- 4 -


          If the Designated Securities are Debt Securities, the deduction for the Contract Debt Securities referred to above shall become effective upon execution and delivery by the Company and the several institutional investors of the Delayed Delivery Contracts and such deduction for each Underwriter shall be in the amount which shall bear the same proportion to the total principal amount of Contract Debt Securities as the principal amount of Debt Securities set forth opposite the name of the respective Underwriter bears to the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities set forth in Schedule I to the applicable Underwriting Agreement, except to the extent that the Representative determines that such deduction shall be otherwise than in such proportions, and so advises the Company in writing.

          If the Designated Securities are Warrants and Debt Warrant Securities, the deduction for the Contract Warrants referred to above shall become effective upon execution and delivery by the Company and the several institutional investors of the Delayed Delivery Contracts and such deduction for each Underwriter shall be in the amount which shall bear the same proportion to the total principal amount of Debt Warrant Securities for which Contract Warrants are exercisable as the principal amount of Debt Warrant Securities for which Warrants are exercisable as set forth opposite the name of the respective Underwriter bears to the aggregate principal amount of Debt Warrant Securities for which Warrants are exercisable as set forth in Schedule I to the applicable Underwriting Agreement, except to the extent that the Representative determines that such deduction shall be otherwise than in such proportions, and so advises the Company in writing.

          (C) Sales to Underwriters. The several commitments of the Underwriters to purchase the Designated Securities pursuant to the applicable Underwriting Agreement shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth.

          (D) Payment; Closing. Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement relating thereto, in such authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Representative may request upon at least forty-eight hours’ prior notice to the Company, shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Representative for the account of such Underwriter, against payment by such Underwriter or on its behalf of the purchase price therefor in the funds and in the manner specified in such Underwriting Agreement, all at the place and time and date specified in such Underwriting Agreement or at such other place and time and date as the Representative and the Company may agree upon in writing, such time and date being herein called the “Closing Time” for such Designated Securities.

          In the event that the Underwriters exercise their option to purchase the Optional Securities, each Underwriter shall be entitled to purchase the number of Optional Securities which bears the same ratio to the aggregate number of Optional Securities being purchased as the number of Firm Securities of the same type of securities as the Optional Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter on Schedule I to the applicable Underwriting Agreement bears to the aggregate number of Firm Securities of such type of Securities being purchased by the several Underwriters pursuant to such Underwriting Agreement, subject to adjustments to eliminate any fractional shares as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make. The purchase price for such Optional Securities shall be equal to the purchase price of the Firm Securities of the same type.

- 5 -


The Underwriters may exercise the option to purchase the Optional Securities at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of the Underwriting Agreement, by written notice from the Representative to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Optional Securities as to which the option is being exercised and the date, time and place for the delivery and payment of the Optional Securities which may be the same date, time and place as the Closing Date but shall not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than the tenth full business day after the date of such notice (the “Option Closing Date”). Any such notice shall be given at least two business days prior to the date, time and place of delivery specified therein.

Concurrently with the delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities, the Company will deliver to the Representative for the accounts of the Underwriters a wire transfer to the order of the party designated in the Underwriting Agreement relating to such securities in the amount of any compensation payable by the Company to the Underwriters in respect of any Delayed Delivery Contracts as provided in paragraph (B) of this Section 2 and in the Underwriting Agreement related to such securities.

          Section 3. Covenants.

          (A) Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with each Underwriter of the Designated Securities as follows:

                    (1) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company will (i) comply in respect of the Designated Securities with the requirements of the 1933 Act Regulations, as applicable, and will promptly within the time periods specified therein effect the filings required of it pursuant to Rule 424 and/or Rule 433 under the 1933 Act, and (ii) take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the Prospectus or Permitted Free Writing Prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424 or Rule 433, as applicable, were received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that one was not, it will promptly file the Prospectus or, as provided in Rule 164, the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, as applicable.

                    (2) Delivery of Registration Statements and Prospectuses. The Company will furnish to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and each amendment thereto which shall become effective on or prior to the Closing Time and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the 1933 Act (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), as many copies of the Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as well as each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (if applicable) as the Representative may reasonably request; provided, that the Company shall not be required to furnish copies of the Prospectus if the conditions of Rule 172(c) under the 1933 Act are satisfied by the Company.

                    (3) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. If at any time during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light

- 6 -


of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Underwriters, without charge, such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Underwriters may reasonably request, provided that the Company shall have no such obligation to furnish copies if the conditions of Rule 172(c) under the 1933 Act are satisfied by the Company.

                    (4) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company will use its best efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Designated Securities for offering and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction.

                    (5) Earnings Statement. The Company will make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months after the date of each Underwriting Agreement, an earnings statement of the Company and its subsidiaries (which need not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.

          (B) Covenant of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter of the Designated Securities covenants with the Company that it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Designated Securities that would constitute a free writing prospectus, other than a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or a free writing prospectus which is not required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433; provided, that, if so specified in the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters will make no offer relating to the Designated Securities that will constitute a free writing prospectus, other than a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, without the prior consent of the Company.

          Section 4. Payment of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, including (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits) as originally filed and of each amendment thereto, (ii) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, accountants and other advisors or agents (including transfer agents and registrars), as well as the fees and disbursements of the Trustees and any warrant agent, and their respective counsel, (iii) the qualification of the Designated Securities under state securities laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(A)(4) hereof, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation, printing and delivery of the Blue Sky Survey, and any amendment thereto, (iv) the printing, to the extent required hereby, and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of each Preliminary Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (v) the fees charged by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations for the rating of the Designated Securities

- 7 -


and (vi) the fees and expenses incurred with respect to the listing, if any, of the Designated Securities.

          Section 5. Conditions of Underwriters’ Obligations. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Designated Securities pursuant to the applicable Underwriting Agreement are subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 1 hereof or in certificates of any officer of the Company delivered pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its covenants and other obligations hereunder, and to the following further conditions:

The officer making such certificate may rely upon the best of his knowledge as to proceedings pending or threatened.

counsel for the Company, relating to tax matters, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters and their counsel.

          (G) If the Designated Securities are Debt Securities secured by collateral, at the Closing Time and any Option Closing Time, the Representatives shall have received such certificates and other closing deliverables, as may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages or other security documentation pursuant to which liens on such collateral are created or governed.

          Section 6. Indemnification. (A) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Material or the Prospectus (if used within the period set forth in paragraph (3) of Section 3(A) hereof and as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by any Underwriter expressly for the use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Material or any Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any losses, claims, damages or liabilities otherwise covered by this paragraph purchased Designated Securities, or to the benefit of any person controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus (as then amended and supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such person if required so to have been delivered, at or prior to the entry into the Contract of Sale of Designated Securities with such person, and if the Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

          Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and any person controlling the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, (i) with reference to information furnished in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Material or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto and (ii) arising from any other free writing prospectus prepared by such Underwriter, except to the extent arising from information furnished in writing by the Company expressly for use therein.

          Promptly after receipt by any person of notice of any claim or the institution of any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”)

- 9 -


in writing and the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it elects (upon notice to the indemnified party), jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party shall not have so elected to assume such defense, then, upon request of the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. If the indemnifying party shall so elect to assume such defense, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party pursuant to this Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such indemnified parties. Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, any reference in this Section 6 to counsel reasonably satisfactory to, or designated by, the indemnified party shall mean (i) in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the second preceding paragraph, counsel reasonably satisfactory to, or designated by, the Representative on behalf of all parties so indemnified pursuant to such paragraph and (ii) in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the first preceding paragraph, counsel reasonable satisfactory to, or designated by, the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

          (B) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (A) of Section 6 is unavailable as a matter of law to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) if the indemnifying party is the Company, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Designated Securities, (ii) if an Underwriter is the indemnifying party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the Underwriter’s relative fault on the one hand and that of the Company on the other

- 10 -


hand in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or (iii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) or clause (ii) above, as the case may be, is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefit referred to in clause (i) above or the relative fault referred to in clause (ii) above, as the case may be, but also such relative fault (in cases covered by clause (i)) or such relative benefit (in cases covered by clause (ii)) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefit received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omissions.

          The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations provided for, in the respective cases, in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Designated Securities underwritten by such Underwriter and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provision of this paragraph (b) concerning contribution, no indemnifying party shall be required to make contribution in any circumstances in which such party would not have been required to provide indemnification by the terms of paragraph (a). Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by an indemnified party of such party’s rights, if any, to receive contribution pursuant to Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act or other applicable law. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this section are several, in proportion to the respective amounts of Designated Securities underwritten by each of such Underwriters, and not joint.

          In the event that the indemnifying party is one or more of the Underwriters, then the Representative shall act on behalf of the indemnifying party with respect to receipt of notice, agreement as to retention of separate counsel and consent to settlement, and the indemnified party may rely upon the action of the Representative as binding upon each such indemnifying party for purposes of this section.

- 11 -


          Section 7. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto or thereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities. The provisions of Section 6 shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

          Section 8. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the discretion of a majority in interest of the Representative of a particular issue of Designated Securities at any time subsequent to the date of the applicable Underwriting Agreement and prior to the Closing Date by notice given to the Company, if (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited; (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in the State of New York or the United States shall have been declared by the appropriate authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any material outbreak, or material escalation, of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, of such magnitude and severity in its effect on the financial markets of the United States, in the reasonable judgment of a majority in interest of the Representative, as to prevent or materially impair the marketing, or enforcement of contracts for sale, of the Designated Securities.

          Section 9. Default by One Or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Designated Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under the applicable Underwriting Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), then the Representative shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

          (A) if the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of Designated Securities to be purchased on such date pursuant to such Underwriting Agreement, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations under such Underwriting Agreement bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

          (B) if the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of Designated Securities to be purchased on such date pursuant to such Underwriting Agreement, such Underwriting Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company.

          No action taken pursuant to this Section 9 shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

- 12 -


          In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of the applicable Underwriting Agreement, either the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

          Section 10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to them, at the address of the Representative described in the applicable Underwriting Agreement; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or faxed and confirmed to it, at 201 High Ridge Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06927; attention General Counsel.

          Section 11. Parties. This Agreement shall each inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company, the Representative and any other Underwriters and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters and the Company and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Section 6 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof and thereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation.

          Section 12. Relationship. The Company and the Underwriters acknowledge and agree that in connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and the Underwriters have an arms-length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of either party and each expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship.

          Section 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

          Section 14. Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY’S CORPORATE COUNSEL
TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(b)

          Such opinion shall state that, based upon the review and discussion of the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendments and supplements thereto (including the documents of the Company incorporated therein by reference) and of the Pricing Disclosure Material by such counsel or members of such counsel’s staff which report to such counsel with certain officials of the Company, but without independent check or verification except as stated in such opinion, nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that would lead such counsel to believe (1) that each document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus which was filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (except as to financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data contained, referred to or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom, as to which, in each case, such counsel need not express any belief) did not comply, when so filed, as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (2) that the Registration Statement at the Effective Time and the Prospectus and any supplements or amendments thereto as of their respective effective or issue dates (except for (a) financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data contained, referred to or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom, (b) the statements contained in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Debt Securities” and, if applicable, “Description of Warrants” or “Description of Common Stock” and in the prospectus supplement under any similar heading relating to the Designated Securities and (c) supplements relating only to securities other than the Designated Securities, as to which, in each case, such counsel need not express any belief) did not comply as to form in all material respects with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and (3) that (except for (a) financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data contained, referred to or incorporated therein or omitted therefrom, (b) the statements contained in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Debt Securities” and, if applicable, “Description of Warrants” or “Description of Common Stock” and in the Pricing Supplement under any similar heading relating to the Designated Securities and (c) supplements relating only to securities other than the Designated Securities, as to which, in each case, such counsel need not express any belief) (i) the Registration Statement at the Effective Time contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Pricing Disclosure Material, as of the Pricing Effective Time for the Designated Securities, or the Prospectus contained, as of the date of the Pricing Supplement relating to the Designated Securities, and the Prospectus relating to the Designated Securities (as amended or supplemented, other than as to supplements relating only to securities other than the Designated Securities), contained or contains, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          In rendering such opinion, such counsel (1) may rely as to matters of fact, to the extent such counsel deems proper, on certificates of responsible officers and public officials and (2) may state that such counsel expresses no opinion as to laws, rules, regulations, consents,

approvals, authorizations or other orders other than those of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States of America, provided that no opinion need be expressed on or in respect to the New York securities laws or “Blue Sky” laws.

EXHIBIT C

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY
TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(c)

          (i) The Company and each grantor under any applicable security agreement is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

          (ii) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

          (iii) If the Designated Securities are Debt Securities, the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the Indenture is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable equitable principles and except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally) and the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended;

          (iv) If the Designated Securities are Debt Securities, the Debt Securities have been duly authorized and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters (or, in the case of Contract Debt Securities, by purchasers pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts), the Debt Securities, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable equitable principles and except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors, rights generally) and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture;

          (v) If the Designated Securities are Warrants, the Warrant Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and the Warrant Agreement is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable equitable principles and except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally);

Exh. C-1


Securities, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Designated Securities and the Indenture, fairly present the matters referred to therein in all material respects;

          (ix) The statements in the Prospectus under the caption “Material United States Federal Income and Estate Tax Considerations for Non-United States Holders,” insofar as they constitute summaries of matters of U.S. federal income and estate tax law and regulation or legal conclusions with respect thereto, fairly present the matters described therein in all material respects; and

          (x) The execution and delivery by the Company of the Underwriting Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not conflict with, constitute a default under or violate (i) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Company, (ii) in any material respect, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any document, agreement or other instrument filed as a part of the Registration Statement or as an exhibit to any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, or (iii) in any material respect, any provision of New York or federal law that in such counsel’s experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement (other than federal and state securities or blue sky laws, as to which such counsel express no opinion in this paragraph).

          In rendering such opinion, such counsel (1) may rely as to matters of fact, to the extent such counsel deems proper, on certificates of responsible officers and public officials and (2) may state that such counsel expresses no opinion as to laws, rules, regulations, consents, approvals, authorizations or other orders other than those of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States of America, provided that no opinion need be expressed on or in respect to the New York securities laws or “Blue Sky” laws.

The Floating Rate Notes, the 2015 Notes and the 2019 Notes shall each constitute a separate series of Debt Securities under this Indenture and shall be issued initially in the form of Global Debt Securities and the initial Depository therefor shall be The Depository Trust Company.

          Section 2.03. Authentication. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver the Debt Securities, executed by the Company, to the Trustee or its agent for authentication. Except as otherwise provided in this Article Two, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, said Debt Securities to or for the account of the Company upon the written order of the Company, signed by an Officer.

          If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.02 that the Debt Securities are to be issued in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.03 and the Company order with respect to such Debt Securities, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Debt Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of the Debt Securities issued and not yet canceled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Debt Security or Debt Securities or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions (iv) may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company) and (v) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive registered form, this Debt Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.”

- 11 -


          Each Depository must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depository hereunder, be a clearing agency registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) and any other applicable statute or regulation.

          Section 2.04. Denomination and Numbering of Securities. The Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable as registered Debt Securities without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified in Section 2.01. Debt Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Company executing the same may determined with the approval of the Trustee.

          The Person in whose name any Debt Security of a particular series is registered at the close of business on any record date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Debt Security upon any registration of transfer or exchange subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the payment of interest on such interest payment date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names Outstanding Debt Securities of such series are registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders of such Debt Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than five days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. The term “record date” as used in this Section 2.04 with respect to any regular interest payment date for the 2015 Notes and the 2019 Notes shall mean the close of business on June 1st or December 1st (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such interest payment date, and with respect to any regular interest payment date for the Floating Rate Notes shall mean the close of business on March 1st, June 1st, September 1st or December 1st (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such interest payment date, except that the regular record date for interest due on any Debt Security’s Stated Maturity or date of earlier redemption will be that particular date.

          Section 2.05. Execution of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of any Officer. Only such Debt Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form herein recited, executed by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

          In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Debt Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Debt Securities shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debt Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Debt Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Debt Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of such Debt Security, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such an officer.

- 12 -


          Section 2.06. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Debt Securities. Debt Securities of any series (other than a Global Debt Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations.

          Debt Securities to be exchanged pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be surrendered, at the option of the Holders thereof, either at the office or agency designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 or at any of such other offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, and the Company shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Debt Security or Debt Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. Each Person designated by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.02 as a Person authorized to register and register transfer of the Debt Securities is sometimes herein referred to as a “registrar.”

          The Company shall keep, at one such office or agency for a series of Debt Securities, a register for such series of Debt Securities (herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security register” or the “registry books of the Company”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register Debt Securities and shall register the transfer of Debt Securities as provided in this Article Two. The Security register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Security register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any registrar other than the Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt Security of any series at any designated office or agency, the Company shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series for an equal aggregate principal amount. Registration or registration of transfer of any Debt Security by any registrar in the registry books of the Company maintained by such registrar, and delivery of such Debt Security, duly authenticated, shall be deemed to complete the registration or registration of transfer of such Debt Security.

          No Person shall at any time be designated as or act as a registrar unless such Person is at such time empowered under applicable law to act as such and duly registered to act as such under and to the extent required by applicable law and regulations.

          All Debt Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption, repayment or payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee 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 Debt Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

- 13 -


          The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Debt Securities to be redeemed for a period of at least 30 days but not more than 60 days preceding the mailing (or delivery in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Debt Securities being redeemed in part.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.06, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive registered form, a Global Debt Security representing all or a portion of the Debt Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository for such series to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository for such series or a nominee of such successor Depository.

          If at any time the Depository for any Debt Securities of a series represented by one or more Global Debt Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Debt Securities or if at any time the Depository for such Debt Securities shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.03, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository eligible under Section 2.03 with respect to such Debt Securities. If a successor Depository eligible under Section 2.03 for such Debt Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 2.02 that such Debt Securities be represented by one or more Global Debt Securities shall no longer be effective and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Debt Securities of such series in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security or Debt Securities representing such Debt Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Debt Securities.

          The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion (but subject to the procedures of the Depository) determine that Debt Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Debt Securities. In such event the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities, will authenticate and deliver Debt Securities of the same series in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Global Debt Security or Debt Securities in exchange for such Global Debt Security or Debt Securities.

          Upon the exchange of a Global Debt Security for Debt Securities in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Debt Security, such Global Debt Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. Debt Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for a Global Debt Security pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Debt Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall

- 14 -


deliver such Debt Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered.

          Section 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Debt Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in the case of a mutilated Debt Security shall, and in the case of a lost, stolen, or destroyed Debt Security may in its discretion, execute and, upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Debt Security of the same series, as the case may be, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Debt Security. In every case the applicant for a substituted Debt Security shall furnish to the Company and to 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 to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof.

          Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Debt Security which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to 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 the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and the ownership thereof.

          Every substituted Debt Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Debt Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt 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 Debt Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

          Section 2.08. Temporary Debt Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten). Temporary Debt Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debt Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Debt Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will

- 15 -


execute and deliver to the Trustee definitive Debt Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Debt Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at the option of the holders thereof, either at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 or at any of such other offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Debt Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debt Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.

          Section 2.09. Cancellation of Debt Securities Paid, etc. All Debt Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repayment, exchange or registration of transfer, if surrendered to the Company, any registrar, any paying agent or any other agent of the Company or of the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it, and no Debt Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee may dispose of canceled Debt Securities in accordance with its customary procedures and deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company or, at the written request of the Company, shall deliver canceled Debt Securities to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Debt Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debt Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

          Section 2.10. Computation of Interest. Interest on the 2015 Notes and the 2019 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

          The amount of interest for each day that the Floating Rate Notes are Outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) shall be calculated by dividing the interest rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) in effect during the applicable Interest Period or Initial Interest Period (each as defined in Exhibit C hereto), as applicable, by 360 and multiplying the result by the outstanding principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for any applicable period shall be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in such period.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

          Section 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article Three shall be applicable, as the case may be, (i) to any Debt Securities which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity or (ii) to any Debt Securities which are redeemable pursuant to a Collateral Redemption Event.

- 16 -


          Section 3.02. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities. In case the Company shall desire to exercise pursuant to Section 3.03 any right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of, the Debt Securities of any series in accordance with their terms, it shall fix a date for redemption. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities of any series to be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid (or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository), at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Trustee and to such Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the registry books of the Company. Notices of redemption to be sent to the Holders of Debt Securities shall be sent only to the Holders of the series of Debt Securities to be redeemed.

          Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which the Debt Securities of such series are to be redeemed or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof, the expected amount of unpaid accrued interest to but not including the date of redemption, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that any unpaid interest accrued to but not including the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If less than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall specify the number or numbers of the Debt Securities to be redeemed. In case any Debt Security 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 Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of the redemption date and of the principal amount and series of Debt Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Make-Whole Redemption Amount applicable to such series being redeemed and the expected amount of unpaid accrued interest to but not including the date of redemption promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation.

          Prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.05) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Debt Securities or portions thereof so called for redemption, together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. If less than all the Debt 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 Debt Securities of such series to be redeemed, and the Trustee shall select or cause to be selected, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed. Debt Securities of a series may be redeemed in part only in multiples of the smallest authorized denomination of that series.

- 17 -



          Section 3.03. Payment of Debt Securities Called for Optional Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Debt Securities or portions of Debt 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 a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Redemption Amount together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at a place of payment in said notice specified the said Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Debt Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.02 and 2.04.

          Upon presentation of any Debt Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debt Security so presented.

          Section 3.04. Notice of Mandatory Redemption for Collateral Redemption Event. Following the occurrence of a Collateral Redemption Event, the Debt Securities shall be subject to mandatory redemption in whole but not in part no later than 30 days following such Collateral Redemption Event. Notice of such mandatory redemption shall be mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository) not more than five days following such Collateral Redemption Event to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear in the registry books of the Company and to the Trustee.

          Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for mandatory redemption, the redemption price at which the Debt Securities of each series are to be redeemed, which shall be the Collateral Redemption Event Amount applicable to such series, together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. Each such notice of redemption need not set forth the actual Collateral Redemption Event Amount but only the manner of calculation thereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Collateral Redemption Event Amount applicable to such series being redeemed and the expected amount of unpaid accrued interest to but not including the date of redemption promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation.

          Prior to the redemption date specified in the mandatory notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.04, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.05) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the mandatory redemption date all the Outstanding Debt Securities, together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

- 18 -


          Section 3.05. Payment in Connection with Mandatory Redemption Upon a Collateral Redemption Event. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.04, the Debt Securities shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Collateral Redemption Event Amount, together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at a place of payment in said notice specified the said Debt Securities shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for mandatory redemption; provided, however, that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Debt Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.02 and 2.04.

          Section 3.06. Knowledge of Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a Collateral Redemption Event or whether the Debt Securities are required to be redeemed as a result thereof, unless the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the Company, a Grantor or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding.

ARTICLE FOUR

                    (a) default in the payment of the principal, or premium, if any, upon Debt Securities of any series including the failure to mandatorily redeem such Debt Securities to the extent required by, and in accordance with the terms set forth under Sections 3.04 and 3.05 hereto; or

                    (b) default for 30 days in the payment of interest upon any Debt Security; or

- 22 -


                    (c) default for 60 days after written notice to the Company from the Trustee or from the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all of the Outstanding Debt Securities (with a copy to the Trustee) in the performance of any other covenant or agreement by the Company under this Indenture (other than Article Fifteen or other covenants or agreements in this Indenture relating to the Collateral or in respect of the Security Documents);

                    (d) an event of default, as defined, with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, as a result of which such indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company shall have been accelerated and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled within 10 days after written notice thereof (provided however, that the resulting Event of Default with respect to such other indebtedness for borrowed money may be remedied, cured or waived by the remedying, curing or waiving of such other default under such other indebtedness for borrowed money) (a “Cross Acceleration”) and, in each case, where the principal amount of any such indebtedness for borrowed money, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness for borrowed money under which there has been a Cross Acceleration, aggregates to more than the greater of $100.0 million and 10% of all such indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries then outstanding;

                    (e) a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, and such decree and order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee (or other similar official) in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or of all or substantially all of its property, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

                    (f) the Company shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee (or other similar official) in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of all or substantially all of its property, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every case, unless the principal of all of the Debt Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of such Outstanding Debt Securities), may declare the principal amount and premium, if any, of all Debt Securities to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in such Debt Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding. This provision, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal amount of the Debt

- 23 -


Securities 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, if any, upon all such Debt Securities and the principal of, and premium, if any, on any and all such Debt Securities which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal at the rate then borne by the Debt Securities of the applicable series, to the date of such payment or deposit) and all amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, and any and all defaults under this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities, other than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on such Debt Securities which shall have become due solely by acceleration, shall have been remedied or cured or waived or provision shall have been made therefor to the satisfaction of the Trustee then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to the Debt Securities 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 and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

          Section 6.02. Payment of Debt 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 the Debt Securities of a 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 principal, or premium, if any, upon a series of Debt Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable including the failure to mandatorily redeem such Debt Securities to the extent required by, and in accordance with the terms set forth under Sections 3.04 and 3.05 hereto, whether at the Stated Maturity of such Debt Security or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise; then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company shall pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities with respect to which such default shall have occurred, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on any such Debt Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest (including interest on overdue interest and principal, if any) and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover costs and expenses of collection, and any further amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

          In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and 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 upon such Debt Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or

- 24 -


any other obligor on such Debt Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable and may direct the Security Trustee with respect to the exercise of remedies following an Enforcement Event.

          In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities of any series under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, or in case a receiver or trustee (or other 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 on any Debt Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Debt Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, 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, premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of any Debt Securities and, in the 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 and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on any Debt Securities, its or their creditors, or its or their property, 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 costs and expenses of collection, and any further amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06 and incurred by it up to the date of such distribution; and any receiver, assignee or trustee (or other similar official) in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders 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 Holders, to pay to the Trustee costs and expenses of collection and any further amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06 and incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.

          Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting any of the Debt Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

          All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any Debt Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of such Debt Securities or the production thereof in 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 the Debt Securities in respect of which such action was taken. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings in which a declaratory judgment of a court may be sought as to the interpretation or construction 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 Debt Securities to which such proceedings relate, and it shall not be necessary to make any holders of such Debt Securities parties to any such proceedings.

- 25 -


          Section 6.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Six 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 Debt Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

 

 

          FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06;

 

 

 

          SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Debt Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Debt Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and

 

 

 

          THIRD: To the payment of the balance, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons legally entitled thereto.

          Section 6.04. Proceedings by Holders. No Holder of any Debt Security shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding to the extent lawful in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee (or other similar official), or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default with respect to the Debt Securities and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities 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 reasonable 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 neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Debt Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Debt Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Debt Securities of such series, 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 matter herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Debt Securities of such series.

          Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Debt Security to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Debt Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt Security, or upon redemption, by declaration, repayment or otherwise, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder, and no provision of the Debt Securities of any series or of this Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Debt

- 26 -


Securities at the respective places, at the respective times, at the respective rates and in the coin or currency, therein and herein prescribed.

          Section 6.05. 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 suit 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 and to direct the Security Trustee with respect to the exercise of remedies following an Enforcement Event.

          Unless directed by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities in accordance with and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have no right or obligation under this Indenture or otherwise to exercise any remedies on behalf of the Holders of the Debt Securities in connection with any default by any Grantor in the performance of any covenant or agreement contained in any Security Document or any default by the Company under this Indenture or any Security Document that, with the giving of notice, passage of time or both, could not become an Event of Default. In connection with any such exercise of remedies, the Trustee shall be entitled to the same immunities and protections and remedial rights (other than acceleration) as if such default were an Event of Default, including, without limitation, immunities and protections under Section 7.01(c).

          Section 6.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Debt Securities of any series 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 such Debt 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 such Debt 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 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Debt Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the holders of such Debt Securities.

          Section 6.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Holders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities 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, with respect to the Debt Securities; provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of Section 7.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction 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

- 27 -


Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any declaration accelerating the Maturity of the Debt Securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all such Debt Securities waive any past default or Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities and its consequences except a default in the payment of interest, if any, on, or the principal or premium, if any, upon any Debt Security including the failure to mandatorily redeem such Debt Securities to the extent required by, and in accordance with the terms set forth under Sections 3.04 and 3.05 hereto, or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 10.02 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Debt Security affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of such Debt Securities shall be restored to their former position 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 6.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Debt Securities and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.

          Section 6.08. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Debt Securities, give notice of all defaults known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee to all Holders of Debt Securities in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “defaults” for the purpose of this Section 6.08 being hereby defined to be the events specified in Section 6.01, not including the periods of grace, if any, provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of the notices specified in clauses (c) and (d) of Section 6.01); provided, however, that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Debt 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 interest of the holders of such Debt Securities.

          Section 6.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt 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, omitted or suffered 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 6.09 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Debt Securities or group of such holders, holding in the aggregate more than twenty-five percent in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Debt Security on or after the due date expressed in such Debt Security, on or after the date fixed for redemption or repayment or after such Debt Security shall have become due by declaration.

ARTICLE SEVEN

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

          Section 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default 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, 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. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver each Indenture Document, including each Security Document (and documents ancillary thereto) to which it is a party.

          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 and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

                              (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities 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 as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

                              (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth 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 Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

                    (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Debt Securities pursuant to Section 6.07 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 with respect to such Debt Securities.

          None of the provisions of this Indenture shall be construed as requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if

- 29 -


there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

          The provisions of this Section 7.01 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act.

          Section 7.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. In furtherance of and subject to the Trust Indenture Act, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.01:

                    (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order 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 instrument signed in the name of the Company by an Officer (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary or an Attesting 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, omitted or suffered to be taken 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 Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered reasonable security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

                    (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

                    (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any inquiry or investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs and 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 conferred upon it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding; and the reasonable expenses of such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand;

- 30 -


                    (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; and

                    (h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default hereunder or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default or Event of Default is received by the Trustee at the Principal Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Debt Securities and this Indenture.

          Section 7.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Debt Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company (except in the Trustee’s certificates of authentication), and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities, provided that the Trustee shall not be relieved of its duty to authenticate Debt Securities only as authorized by this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

          Section 7.04. Ownership of Debt Securities. The Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such agent.

          Section 7.05. Moneys to be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.04, 12.03, 12.04 and 16.12, all moneys received by the Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree in writing with the Company to pay thereon. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Company, signed by an Officer.

          Section 7.06. 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, except as otherwise expressly provided, 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) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and its duties hereunder, including the costs and

- 31 -


expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

          Section 7.07. Officer’s Certificate as Evidence. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, omitting or suffering any action to be taken 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 Officer’s 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, omitted or suffered by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

          Section 7.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests for the Trustee. The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

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 7.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation at any time 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 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

          The provisions of this Section 7.09 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

          Section 7.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any Trustee or Trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to any one or more or all series of Debt Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Company and by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books of the Company. 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 in the name of and on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized officer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.09, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,

- 32 -


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:

                              (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any series of Debt Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series for at least six months, or

                              (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to any series of Debt Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

                              (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Debt Securities, 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 such series and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed in the name of and on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized officer, 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 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

                    (c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of one or more series (each series voting as a class) or all series at the time Outstanding may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series or all series, as the case may be, and appoint with respect to the applicable series or all series, as the case may be, a successor Trustee by written notice of such action to the Company, the Trustee and the successor Trustee.

                    (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and any appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

                    (e) No predecessor Trustee shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Trustee.

- 33 -


          Section 7.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 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 any or all 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 (or due provision therefor) of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights and powers with respect to such series of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers.

          In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Debt 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 Debt 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 trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

          No successor Trustee with respect to a series of Debt Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall, with respect to such series, be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

          Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee with respect to any series as provided in this Section 7.11, the Company shall give notice thereof to the holders of Debt Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books of the Company. 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 given at the expense of the Company.

          Section 7.12. 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 to the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, without the execution or filing of any paper or any

- 34 -


further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

          In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trust created by this Indenture with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities, any of such securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee by merger, conversion or consolidation may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Debt Security so authenticated; and in case at that time any of such Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of such successor to the Trustee or, if such successor to the Trustee is a successor by merger, conversion or consolidation, the name of any predecessor hereunder; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in such Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

          Section 7.13. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer, or partial redemption or pursuant to Section 2.07 and Debt Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $10,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.13, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 7.13.

          Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 7.13, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

          An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the

- 35 -


Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all holders of Debt Securities as their names and addresses appear in the Security register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 7.13.

          The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 7.13.

          If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section 7.13, the Debt Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

          Section 8.01. Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt 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 Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such Holders of Debt Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Holders.

- 36 -


          Section 8.02. Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy may be proved in the following manner: The fact and date of the execution by any Holder of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgements of deeds or administer oaths that the Person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer or in any other manner that the Trustee may deem sufficient. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the Person executing the same.

          The ownership of Debt Securities shall be proved by the registry books of the Company.

          The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.07.

          The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of holders of Debt Securities of any series entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 8.01, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or reconsideration) not more than 60 days nor less than five days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, with respect to Debt Securities of any series, only holders of Debt Securities of such series of record on such record date shall be entitled to so vote or give such consent or revoke such vote or consent.

          Section 8.03. Who are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may deem the Person in whose name any Debt Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company to be, and may treat such Person as, the absolute owner of such Debt Security (whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.04) interest, if any, on such Debt Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

          Section 8.04. Company-Owned Debt Securities Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities have concurred in any demand, request, notice, direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Debt Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities with respect to which such determination is being made 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 Debt Securities with respect to which such determination is being made 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 demand, request, notice, direction consent or waiver, only Debt Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Debt Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04

- 37 -


if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company of any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

          Section 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the holders of which have 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 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders of such Debt Security, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or any Debt Security issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

          Subject to the foregoing, at the second reconvening of any meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum, the Persons entitled to vote twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any action set forth in the notice of the original meeting.

ARTICLE TEN

          Section 10.01. Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders. The Company, the Trustee and the Security Trustee may, from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto, or the Company and the Trustee may direct the Security Trustee to enter into amendments, modifications or supplements to the Security Documents, for one or more of the following purposes:

                    (b) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities or any additional Event of Default for the Debt Securities;

                    (c) to add additional collateral as security for the Debt Securities other than as contemplated by the Security Documents;

- 41 -


                    (f) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Debt Securities to any provision in the Offering Document under the heading “Description of the Notes” to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Debt Securities.

          The Trustee and the Security Trustee are each 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 and the Security Trustee shall not be obligated to, but each of them may in its discretion, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s, or the Security Trustee’s, respectively, own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

          Any supplemental indenture or direction authorized by the provisions of this Section 10.01 may be executed by the Company, the Trustee and/or the Security Trustee, as applicable, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.02.

          This Section 10.01, and Section 10.02 below, shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Security Trustee under the Mortgage and acting in accordance with the terms thereof (whether pursuant to Article II thereof, Section 5.03(i) thereof, Article VIII thereof or otherwise) to (1) approve of, consent to, or join in the execution of amendments, modifications or supplements to the Mortgage and/or the other Security Documents, or other instrument relating to the Mortgage and/or the other Security Documents, including, without limitation, any document providing for the addition of collateral or the release of Collateral from the Lien of the Security Documents, and (2) otherwise deal with the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage and the other Security Documents, in each case without the need for any direction or consent from the Company, the Trustee or the Holders under this Indenture.

          Section 10.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Sections 8.01 and 8.02) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities affected by such supplemental indenture, amendment, modification or supplement at the time Outstanding, voting as a single class, the Company, the Trustee and the Security Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto or the Company and the Trustee may direct the Security Trustee to enter into amendments, modifications or supplements to the Security Documents 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 any Security Document or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Outstanding Debt Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the Maturity of any Outstanding Debt Security, extend the time of payment of interest, if any, thereon, or reduce the interest rate or principal amount thereof, or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in any Outstanding Debt Security, modify any redemption or repurchase right to the detriment of a Holder of a Debt Security, or impair the right of any Holder of a Debt Security to institute suit for any such payment, (ii) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such

- 42 -


supplemental indenture or any waiver of any past covenant or default or Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.07 or (iii) modify any provision of Section 6.07 or 10.02 (except to increase any such percentage or to provide that specified other provisions of this Indenture or the Security Documents cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Debt Security so affected) without, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the consent of the Holder of each Debt Security so affected.

For this purpose, such legal defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Debt Securities and this Indenture and the applicable Security Documents insofar as such Debt Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute instruments provided by the Company and acceptable to the Trustee acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder, with respect to the transfer or exchange of such series of Debt Securities: (A) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Debt Securities under Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 4.01 and such obligations as shall be ancillary thereto, (B) the rights, obligations and immunities and other provisions in respect of the Trustee hereunder and (C) the rights of Holders with respect to property deposited with the Trustee under this Indenture.

Before such a deposit the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Debt Securities at a future date or dates in accordance with Article Three, which shall be given effect in applying the foregoing.

                    (b) If any series of Debt Securities shall remain outstanding following legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, no Event of Default with respect to the remaining Debt Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit.

                    (d) In the case of legal defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Company has received a direct ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or such a ruling has been published, or since the Effective Date of the Debt Securities there has been a change in the applicable federal income Tax law, such that the Holders of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be defeased will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income Tax purposes as a result of the legal defeasance.

payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal or interest on any Debt Security) the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee 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 that may be received by it within three Business Days prior to or on or after such date.

1.000% Senior Secured Note due 2015

          Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

          1. Interest. General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Debt Security at the rate of 1.000% per annum from December 12, 2012 until December 11, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”) and, if applicable, on overdue interest and principal as provided in the Indenture. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears, on June 11th and December 11th of each year, beginning on June 11, 2013, to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of this series (the “Debt Securities”) are registered at the close of business on the June 1st or December 1st (whether or not a business day) next preceding such interest payment date (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) except that the regular record date for interest due on any Debt Security’s Maturity or date of earlier redemption will be that particular date. Interest on the Debt Securities will accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Debt Securities, or if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Debt Securities, from the Effective Date until their Stated Maturity date or earlier redemption with interest on overdue interest, if any, accruing as provided in the Indenture. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

          2. Method of Payment.

Interest on the Debt Securities may at the option of the Company be paid by check mailed to the Persons entitled thereto at their respective addresses as such appear on the registry books of the Company, or, at the option of any Holder of $5,000,000 or more aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities and subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made by transfer to an account denominated in U.S. Dollars, maintained by such Holder, if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Company or its agent not less than ten days prior to the applicable interest payment date.

          4. Indenture.

The terms of the Debt Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Debt Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Debt Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

          6. Collateral Redemption Event. If notice of redemption has been given as provided below, the Debt Securities shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Collateral Redemption Event Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

          7. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities to be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Trustee and such Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the registry books of the Company. Notices of redemption to be sent to the Holders of Debt Securities shall be sent only to the Holders of those Debt Securities to be redeemed.

          Following the occurrence of a Collateral Redemption Event, the Debt Securities shall be subject to mandatory redemption in whole but not in part no later than 30 days following such Event. Notice of such mandatory redemption shall be mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository) not more than five days following such Collateral Redemption Event to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear in the registry books of the Company and to the Trustee.

          8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Debt Securities are issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 increased in multiples of $1,000.

A-4


amendments, modifications or supplements to the Security Documents: (a) to evidence pursuant to Article Eleven of the Indenture the succession of another Person to the Company or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company; (b) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities or any additional Event of Default for the Debt Securities; (c) to add additional collateral as security for the Debt Securities other than as contemplated by the Security Documents; (d) to evidence the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor or additional Security Trustee; (e) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the Indenture or the Security Documents to the extent not inconsistent with other provisions of the Indenture or the Security Documents or otherwise amend or supplement the terms of the Debt Securities, the Indenture or the Security Documents to the extent such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Debt Securities in any material respect or (f) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Debt Securities to any provision in the Offering Document under the heading “Description of the Notes” to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Debt Securities.

          11. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.

          12. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

          13. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company or any Grantor, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Debt Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Debt Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Debt Securities.

          14. Authentication. This Debt Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

          15. Abbreviations.

Floating Rate Senior Secured Note due 2015

          Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

          1. Interest. General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Debt Security at the rate of LIBOR plus the Spread from December 12, 2012 until December 11, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”) and, if applicable, on overdue interest and principal as provided in the Indenture. The Company will pay interest quarterly in cash in arrears, on March 11th, June 11th, September 11th and December 11th of each year, beginning on March 11, 2013, subject to the Business Day Convention (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of this series (the “Debt Securities” or the “Floating Rate Notes”) are registered at the close of business on the March 1st, June 1st, September 1st or December 1st (whether or not a business day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date except that the regular record date for interest due on any Debt Security’s Maturity or date of earlier redemption will be that particular date. Interest on the Debt Securities will accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Debt Securities, or if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Debt Securities, from the Effective Date until their Stated Maturity date or earlier redemption with interest on overdue interest, if any, accruing as provided in the Indenture. The amount of interest for each day that the Floating Rate Notes are Outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) shall be calculated by dividing the interest rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) in effect during the applicable Interest Period or Initial Interest Period, as applicable, by 360 and multiplying the result by the Outstanding principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for any applicable period shall be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in such period.

          Each Debt Security will bear interest at a rate that will be reset quarterly on each Interest Reset Date based on LIBOR as determined on the preceding Interest Determination Date and the Spread.

          The Calculation Agent will determine LIBOR on each Interest Determination Date as follows:

          (a) LIBOR during the Initial Interest Period will be determined two London Business Days prior to the Effective Date and such date will be treated as an Interest Determination Date. Thereafter, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the average of the offered rates for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months beginning on the second London Business Day immediately after the Interest Determination Date that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date, if at least two offered rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page; provided that if the specified Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, that single rate will be used. If fewer than two offered rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, or, if no rate appears on any page on which only one rate normally appears, LIBOR for that Interest Determination Date will be determined based on the rates on that Interest Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, at which deposits on that date in United States dollars for a period of three months are offered to prime

C-3


banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in that market selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company). The offered rates must begin on the second London Business Day immediately after the Interest Determination Date commencing at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of these banks to quote its rate. If the Calculation Agent receives at least two such quotations, LIBOR will be the average of those quotations.

          (b) If the Calculation Agent receives fewer than two such quotations, LIBOR will be the average of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company). The rates will be for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks having a maturity of three months beginning on the second London Business Day after that date commencing at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York.

          (c) If fewer than three such banks provide such quotes, the rate of interest on the Debt Securities with respect to the following Interest Reset Period shall be the rate of interest as in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

          (d) Each calculation of the interest rate on the Debt Securities by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Holders of the Debt Securities and the Company. All final percentages resulting from the completion of any calculation of any interest rate for the Debt Securities shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, and all U.S. dollar amounts shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

          (e) Defined terms used in the above paragraphs have the following definitions:

          “Business Day Convention” means if any Interest Payment Date (other than one that falls on the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date) is not a Business Day, then such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day unless that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If any such Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or, if applicable, an earlier redemption date) is postponed or brought forward as described in the preceding sentence, the interest amount shall be adjusted accordingly and the Holder shall be entitled to more or less interest, respectively. If the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date is not a Business Day or any Interest Payment Date falls on the Maturity Date or an earlier redemption date where such dates are not Business Days, then, the principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day; however, no additional interest will be paid due to the delay in payment.

          “Designated LIBOR Page” means the Reuters screen “LIBOR01” or such other page as may replace the Reuters screen “LIBOR01” on that service or such other page as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits.

          “Initial Interest Period” means the period beginning on, and including, the Effective Date and ending on, but not including, the earlier of the first Interest Payment Date or the date of an earlier redemption.

C-4


          “Interest Determination Date” means, for each Interest Reset Date, the second London Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date.

          “Interest Period” means the period beginning on, and including an Interest Payment Date and ending on, but not including, the following Interest Payment Date, except that the final Interest Period shall be the period beginning on, and including, the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date in respect of a Floating Rate Note, as applicable, and ending on, but not including, the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date in respect of such Floating Rate Note, as the case may be.

          “Interest Reset Date” means, for each Interest Period other than the Initial Interest Period, the first day of such Interest Period. If any Interest Reset Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Reset Date will be the next day that is a Business Day, provided that if the next Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

          “London Business Day” means any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which commercial banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to be closed in London.

          “Spread” means 60 basis points.

          2. Method of Payment. The Debt Securities will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in New York, New York, currently the corporate trust office of The Bank of New York Mellon located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Interest on the Debt Securities may at the option of the Company be paid by check mailed to the Persons entitled thereto at their respective addresses as such appear on the registry books of the Company, or, at the option of any Holder of $5,000,000 or more aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities and subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made by transfer to an account denominated in U.S. Dollars, maintained by such Holder, if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received by the Company or its agent not less than ten days prior to the applicable interest payment date.

          3. Paying Agent, Registrar and Calculation Agent. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Calculation Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Calculation Agent without notice to any Holder. The Company may act in the capacity of Paying Agent or Registrar.

          4. Indenture. The Company issued the Debt Securities under an Indenture dated as of December 12, 2012 (the “Indenture”) between the Company, the Trustee and the Security Trustee named therein. The terms of the Debt Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Debt Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Debt Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Debt Securities are obligations of the Company. The Company issued $300,000,000 in aggregate principal

C-5


amount of Debt Securities on the Effective Date. This Debt Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

          5. Optional Redemption. The Debt Securities will be redeemable at any time and from time to time, as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option, on at least 30 days’, but not more than 60 days’, prior notice mailed (or delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC) to the registered address of each Holder of the Debt Securities to be redeemed, at a redemption price equal to the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the dated fixed for redemption.

          6. Collateral Redemption Event. If notice of redemption has been given as provided below, the Debt Securities shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Collateral Redemption Event Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

           7. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities to be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Trustee and such Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the registry books of the Company. Notices of redemption to be sent to the Holders of Debt Securities shall be sent only to the Holders of those Debt Securities to be redeemed.

          Following the occurrence of a Collateral Redemption Event, the Debt Securities shall be subject to mandatory redemption in whole but not in part no later than 30 days following such Event. Notice of such mandatory redemption shall be mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository) not more than five days following such Collateral Redemption Event to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear in the registry books of the Company and to the Trustee.

          8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Debt Securities are issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 increased in multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Debt Securities may be registered and Debt Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Debt Security or portion of a Debt Security selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Debt Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Debt Securities to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

          9. Persons Deemed Owners. Except as provided in Section 2.04 of the Indenture, the registered Holder of a Debt Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

          10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Debt Securities or the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of all series then outstanding which are affected by such amendment voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Debt Security, the Indenture or the Debt Securities

C-6


may be amended or supplemented, or the Security Trustee may be directed to enter into such amendments, modifications or supplements to the Security Documents: (a) to evidence pursuant to Article Eleven of the Indenture the succession of another Person to the Company or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company; (b) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities or any additional Event of Default for the Debt Securities; (c) to add additional collateral as security for the Debt Securities other than as contemplated by the Security Documents; (d) to evidence the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor or additional Security Trustee; (e) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the Indenture or the Security Documents to the extent not inconsistent with other provisions of the Indenture or the Security Documents or otherwise amend or supplement the terms of the Debt Securities, the Indenture or the Security Documents to the extent such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Debt Securities in any material respect or (f) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Debt Securities to any provision in the Offering Document under the heading “Description of the Notes” to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Debt Securities.

          11. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.

          12. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

          13. No Recourse Against Others.

Each Holder by accepting a Debt Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Debt Securities.

          14. Authentication. This Debt Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

          16. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Debt Securities and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Debt Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

          Section 2.05. Delivery of Collateral; Chattel Paper and “Precautionary” UCC Financing Statements. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in the Indenture or this Agreement, no Grantor shall be required to (a) deliver to the Security Trustee any Security Deposit or any letter of credit, promissory note or other Related Collateral Document issued or delivered pursuant to an Assigned Lease pertaining to any Pool Aircraft unless an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing or (b) make or designate any “chattel paper” original of any Assigned Lease pertaining to any Pool Aircraft or (c) deliver to the Security Trustee any “chattel paper” original of any Assigned Lease pertaining to any Pool Aircraft, except as expressly required by the next sentence with respect to the “chattel paper” original, if any, of an Assigned Lease pertaining to a Pool Aircraft whose country of registration is not the United States or (d) make or require to be made any “precautionary” UCC Financing Statement filing with respect to any Assigned Lease pertaining to any Pool Aircraft or (e) assign to the Security Trustee any “precautionary” UCC Financing Statement made with respect to any Assigned Lease pertaining to any Pool Aircraft, except as expressly required by the next sentence with respect to the “precautionary” UCC Financing Statement filing, if any, with respect to an Assigned Lease pertaining to a Pool Aircraft whose county of registration is not the United States.

The provisions of this Section 2.05 shall be deemed to modify the definition of

- 21 -


Express Perfection Requirements to the extent the requirements of such provisions of this Section 2.05 may be inconsistent with the requirements of such definition. Subject to Section 2.06(d), the Issuer agrees that it will not permit any Grantor to sell or otherwise transfer ownership of any “tangible chattel paper” pertaining to a Pool Aircraft not delivered to the Security Trustee except pursuant to a sale, transfer or other disposition of ownership of, or removal of, the Pool Aircraft pertaining thereto permitted under Section 2.18.

                    (b) (i) Upon the inclusion of any Assigned Lease in the Collateral or (ii) within thirty (30) days after the effectiveness of any material amendment, supplement or waiver of any Assigned Lease or the effectiveness of any replacement Assigned Lease with respect to any Pool Aircraft, the relevant Grantor will deliver a copy thereof to the Security Trustee.

                    (e) Unless the Security Trustee otherwise requests a hard copy thereof, the Grantors shall be entitled to furnish to the Security Trustee copies (except for Chattel Paper Originals) of the documents referred to in any of Sections 2.03(g), 2.06(b), 2.06(c)(ii), 2.16(c) and Schedules V and VI hereto by means of posting such documents to a dedicated web site to which the Security Trustee and it representatives, including legal counsel, shall have access at all times.

Without waiving any rights as set forth in the parentheticals to Section 3.02(a) and (b) hereof, the Securities Intermediary and the Security Trustee hereby waive any right of set-off, encumbrance, security interest, lien or other claim at law or otherwise against any Account Collateral or the Cash Collateral Account. The Issuer and each Grantor acknowledges that, by reason of the Security Trustee being the “entitlement holder” in respect of the Cash Collateral Account as provided above, the Security Trustee shall have the sole right and discretion (except as provided in the next sentence with respect to investment orders or instructions by the Issuer or any Grantor), subject only to the terms of this Agreement, to give all “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) with respect to the Cash Collateral Account and any and all financial assets and other property credited thereto to the exclusion of the Issuer and each Grantor; provided, however, in no event shall the consent of the Issuer or any Grantor be required as a condition to the Securities Intermediary complying with any such entitlement order of the Security Trustee. The Securities Intermediary shall comply with any investment orders or instructions from the Issuer or any Grantor concerning the Cash Collateral Account. If at any time, the Securities Intermediary is no longer able to hold the Cash Collateral Account, the Issuer shall designate an Eligible Institution that has executed an Account Control Agreement to hold the Cash Collateral Account. Prior to subjecting any cash or other Account Collateral to the Lien hereof that is not held by the Security Trustee under this Section 2.07, which each Grantor shall have the right at its option to do, the applicable Grantor and the Security Trustee shall enter into an Account Control Agreement with respect thereto and the account to which such cash or other Account Collateral is to be held, and such cash or other Account Collateral shall constitute “cash Collateral” for purposes of this Agreement.

          Section 2.08. Required Cape Town Registrations; FAA Filings; Further Assurances. (a) Each Grantor shall, in each case only to the extent of the Express Perfection Requirements: (i) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, that may be necessary, as the Security Trustee may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignment and security interest granted or

- 24 -


purported to be granted hereby and (ii) execute, file, record, or register such additional documents and supplements to this Agreement, including any further mortgages, assignments, security agreements, pledges, grants and transfers, as may be required under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction as the Security Trustee may reasonably request, to create, attach, perfect, validate, render enforceable, protect or establish the priority of the security interest and Lien of this Agreement. Upon the request of the Issuer or any Grantor, the Security Trustee shall execute and deliver and, if applicable, pre-position with counsel identified in such request, and instruct such counsel, as requested by the Issuer or such Grantor, to file, record or register, as applicable, any document referred to above in this Section 2.08(a), and no Grantor shall be in breach of this Section or this Agreement should the Security Trustee fail to do so as so requested. To the extent that (i) the Security Trustee’s consent is required for any filing, recording or registration of any document referred to above in this Section, or (ii) the Security Trustee is required to initiate any such filing, recording or registration, the Security Trustee shall act in accordance with the Issuer’s or the applicable Grantor’s instructions to ensure that such consent or such initiation of such filing, recording or registration is effected, and no Grantor shall be in breach of this Section or this Agreement should the Security Trustee fail to do so as so instructed (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the Security Trustee be liable for any failure to so file, record or register as a result of the Issuer’s or such Grantor’s failure to provide any necessary information or instruction required for such filing, recordation or registration in a timely manner or if such information is inaccurate or incomplete).

                    (b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Security Trustee to file, in each case only to the extent of the Express Perfection Requirements, one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

Each Grantor shall ensure that at all times an individual shall be appointed as administrator with respect to such Grantor for purposes of the International Registry and shall register or cause to be registered (or if the Security Trustee is making such registration, without relieving each Grantor of such obligation, consent to such registration) with the International Registry (collectively, the “Required Cape Town Registrations”) within the applicable time periods specified in this Agreement (including Section 2.10): (i) the International Interest provided for hereunder with respect to (x) each Aircraft Object in respect of Pool Aircraft where the relevant Grantor is situated in a Contracting State or (y) an Aircraft Object which is an Airframe that pertains to a Pool Aircraft registered in a Contracting State; (ii) the International Interest provided for in any Cape Town Lease to which such Grantor is a lessor or lessee; (iii) the assignment to the Security Trustee of each International Interest described in clause (ii) and assigned to the Security Trustee hereunder; and (iv) the Contract of Sale with respect to any Aircraft Object by which title to such Aircraft Object is conveyed to such Grantor due to a transfer occurring after the date the Pool Aircraft of which such Aircraft Object is a part becomes a Pool Aircraft, but only if (x) the seller under such Contract of Sale is situated in a Contracting State or, if such Aircraft Object is an Airframe, it pertains to a Pool Aircraft registered in a Contracting State and (y) such seller agrees to such registration; provided, however, that with respect to any Lease which is a Cape Town Lease and that is also a replacement Lease referred to in Section 2.16(c), the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.08(c) shall not be applicable to such Lease until 30 days after the

- 25 -


commencement of leasing of such Pool Aircraft under such replacement Lease. To the extent that (A) the Security Trustee’s consent is required for any registration referred to above or below in this Section 2.08(c), or (B) the Security Trustee is required to initiate any such registration referred to above or below in this Section 2.08(c), the Security Trustee shall ensure that such consent or such initiation of such registration is effected, and no Grantor shall be in breach of this Section or this Agreement should the Security Trustee fail to do so in a proper fashion (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the Security Trustee be liable for any failure to so register as a result of such Grantor’s failure to provide any necessary information required for such registration in a timely manner or if such information is inaccurate or incomplete). It is understood and agreed that the Required Cape Town Registrations with respect to the International Interests described in clause (i) of this Section 2.08(c) and the assignment described in clause (iii) of this Section 2.08(c) with respect to each Cape Town Lease shall be registered in the name of the Security Trustee; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood and agreed that (and the following clauses of this sentence shall be deemed to modify the definition of Required Cape Town Registrations to the extent (if any) the requirements of such clauses of this Section 2.08(c) may be inconsistent with the requirements of such such definition):

                              (I) with respect to each Lease which is a Cape Town Lease to which a Grantor is a lessor, such Grantor shall be entitled to retain in its own name on the International Registry the right to discharge the Required Cape Town Registration of (x) each International Interest described in clause (ii) of this Section 2.08(c) provided for in such Cape Town Lease and (y) the assignment to the Security Trustee described in clause (iii) of this Section 2.08(c) of each International Interest provided for in such Cape Town Lease and assigned to the Security Trustee hereunder;

                              (II) with respect to each Lease which is a Cape Town Lease to which a Grantor is a lessor, upon or at any time following the termination, cancellation or other expiration of such Cape Town Lease or the leasing of the applicable Pool Aircraft thereunder, such Grantor shall have the right and be entitled to discharge or cause to be discharged from the International Registry the Required Cape Town Registrations of (x) each International Interest described in clause (ii) of this Section 2.08(c) provided for in such Cape Town Lease and (y) the assignment to the Security Trustee described in clause (iii) of this Section 2.08(c) of each International Interest provided for in such Cape Town Lease and assigned to the Security Trustee hereunder;

                              (III) with respect to each Lease which is a Cape Town Lease to which a Grantor is a lessor, during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall register or cause to be registered on the International Registry an assignment to the Security Trustee of the right to discharge from the International Registry the Required Cape Town Registrations of (x) each International Interest described in clause (ii) of this Section 2.08(c) provided for in such Cape Town Lease and (y) the assignment to the Security Trustee described in clause (iii) of this Section 2.08(c) of each International Interest provided for in such Cape Town Lease and assigned to the Security Trustee hereunder; and

- 26 -


                              (IV) for avoidance of doubt, with respect to each Lease to which a Grantor is a lessor or lessee which is not a Cape Town Lease and with respect to each sublease of a Pool Aircraft and any sublease assignment relating thereto, (x) such Grantor shall not be required to make or cause to be made any registration on the International Registry with respect to such Lease, sublease or sublease assignment and (y) if any registration on the International Registry has been made with respect to such Lease, sublease or sublease assignment, such Grantor shall not be required to register an assignment of any such registration to the Security Trustee and such Grantor shall be entitled to retain in its own name on the International Registry the right to discharge any such registration and such Grantor shall have the right and be entitled to discharge or cause to be discharged any such registration at any time.

The parties hereto agree that, for the purposes of the definition of Prospective International Interest under the Cape Town Convention, the issuance of the Secured Notes by the Issuer shall constitute the stated event upon which the applicable Grantor has created or provided for an International Interest hereunder in favor of the Security Trustee in the Aircraft Objects and Assigned Leases.

                    (c) With respect to each Pool Aircraft Owned by a Grantor that is registered in the United States and the related Assigned Lease pertaining to such Pool Aircraft, such Grantor shall, so long as such Pool Aircraft is so registered, within the applicable time periods specified in this Agreement, (i) in the case of a Pool Aircraft that is not subject to an Assigned Lease under which the leasing of such Pool Aircraft has commenced, so long as an FAA Aircraft Mortgage and Lease Security Assignment with respect to such Pool Aircraft has not been previously recorded with the FAA, record with the FAA an FAA Aircraft Mortgage with respect to such Pool Aircraft; and (ii) in the case of a Pool Aircraft that is subject to an Assigned Lease under which the leasing of such Pool Aircraft has commenced, record with the FAA an FAA Aircraft Mortgage and Lease Security Assignment with respect to such Pool Aircraft and Assigned Lease or, if an FAA Aircraft Mortgage or an FAA Aircraft Mortgage and Lease Security Assignment with respect to such Pool Aircraft has previously been recorded with the FAA, record with the FAA an FAA Lease Security Assignment with respect to such Assigned Lease; provided, however, that with respect to any Assigned Lease pertaining to a Pool Aircraft registered in the United States which is a replacement Lease referred to in Section 2.16(c), the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.08(d) shall not be applicable to such Assigned Lease until 30 days after the commencement of leasing of such Pool Aircraft under such replacement Lease. Upon the request of the Issuer or any Grantor, the Security Trustee shall execute and deliver and pre-position with FAA counsel, and instruct FAA counsel to file and record with the FAA as requested by the Issuer or such Grantor, any document to be filed or recorded with the FAA referred to above in this Section 2.08(d), and no Grantor shall be in breach of this Section or this Agreement should the Security Trustee fail to do so as so requested (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall the Security Trustee be liable for any failure to so file or record an FAA document as a result of a Grantor’s failure to provide any necessary information required by the Security Trustee for such filing or recording in a timely manner or if such information is inaccurate or incomplete).

                    (a) Identification of Security Trustee’s Interest. With respect to each Pool Aircraft Owned by a Grantor, such Grantor agrees to affix or cause to be affixed as promptly as practicable after the later of the Effective Date and the date such Pool Aircraft is added to the Designated Pool, and thereafter to maintain in the cockpit of such Pool Aircraft, in a clearly visible location, and on each Engine of such Pool Aircraft, a nameplate bearing the inscription “MORTGAGED TO WELLS FARGO BANK NORTHWEST, N.A., AS SECURITY TRUSTEE” (such nameplate to be replaced, if necessary, with a nameplate reflecting the name of any successor Security Trustee); provided that such requirement shall not apply to any Pool Aircraft or Engine of such Pool Aircraft that is registered in the United States so long as such Pool Aircraft is so registered.

                    (b) Registration. Each Grantor shall cause each Pool Aircraft Owned by it to become (if registration is in process) or be duly registered in the name of the relevant Grantor if so permitted under the applicable registry; provided that a Pool Aircraft may be unregistered for a temporary period in connection with modification or maintenance of such Pool Aircraft or in connection with a change in registries. The Security Trustee agrees that it will cooperate with the relevant Grantor in changing the state of registration of any Pool Aircraft at the cost of the Issuer and as the Issuer or the relevant Grantor may request (which cooperation shall include the execution and delivery by the Security Trustee of such documents, and the taking of such other actions by the Security Trustee, as the Issuer or the relevant Grantor may request), provided that such request does not conflict with the relevant Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement.

                    (c) Replacement of Leases. Within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the leasing of a Pool Aircraft under any replacement Lease (or such longer period as may be provided in the Express Perfection Requirements or elsewhere in this Agreement in the case of a Lessee Acknowledgment), the relevant Grantor shall comply with the provisions of Sections 2.06(a), 2.08(c), 2.08(d) and 2.15 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall deliver the following to the Security Trustee:

                              (i) the Chattel Paper Original, if any, of such replacement Lease if the Pool Aircraft to which it pertains is not registered in the United States, if such Chattel Paper Original is required to be delivered by such Grantor to the Security Trustee pursuant to Section 2.05;

                              (ii) a notice of assignment substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 or of a notice of assignment delivered on or prior to the Effective Date in connection with an Assigned Lease or such other form as is provided in the applicable Lease or as such Grantor may determine in accordance with Leasing Company Practice (a “Lessee Notice”). When required under the Express Perfection Requirements, such Grantor shall deliver to the Security Trustee a lessee acknowledgment substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 or a form of lessee acknowledgment delivered in connection with a Lessee Notice delivered on or prior to the Effective Date in connection with an Assigned Lease or such other form as is provided in the applicable Lease or as such Grantor may accept pursuant to the Express Perfection Requirements or in accordance with Leasing Company Practice (a “Lessee

- 31 -


Acknowledgment”) addressed to, or for the benefit of, the Security Trustee with respect to such Lease;

                              (iii) certificates of insurance from qualified brokers of aircraft insurance (or other evidence satisfactory to the Security Trustee), evidencing all insurance required to be maintained by the applicable Lessee, together with the endorsements required pursuant to Section 2.17 and Schedule V of this Agreement;

                              (iv) a copy of such Lease and a Collateral Supplement (if any); and

                              (v) copies of such legal opinions with regard to compliance with the registration requirements of the relevant jurisdiction, enforceability of such Lease and such other matters customary for such transactions, in each case to the extent that receiving such legal opinions is consistent with Leasing Company Practice.

          Section 2.17. Insurance. The relevant Grantor shall maintain, or procure that the relevant Lessee or other Person maintains, hull and third party liability insurance policies, maintained with insurers or reinsured with reinsurers of recognized responsibility or pursuant to governmental indemnities, in respect of each Pool Aircraft in accordance with the terms of Schedule V hereto.

          Section 2.18. Changes to the Designated Pool; Intermediate Lessees; Additional Grantors.

                    (a) Restrictions on Disposition of Aircraft. Except as expressly provided below in this Section 2.18 with respect to a Pool Aircraft, but excluding in each case any Pool Aircraft that is removed from the Designated Pool or replaced (directly or by transfer of an Owner Trust), as provided below, no Grantor shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the ownership of any Pool Aircraft (directly or by transfer of an Owner Trust). For purposes of clarification, the foregoing restriction on the sale, transfer or other disposal of the ownership of the Pool Aircraft by the Grantors does not apply to the leasing by Lease or Intermediate Lease of Pool Aircraft in accordance with Leasing Company Practice.

                    (b) Removal of Pool Aircraft from the Designated Pool. So long as no Enforcement Event shall remain in existence after such removal (provided that the foregoing restriction shall not be applicable to a removal in anticipation of or in connection with the exercise of any rights, options, obligations or remedies of a Lessee or other Person who is not a Grantor or an Affiliate of the Grantor pursuant to the applicable Lease or a Permitted Lien referred to in clause (o) of the definition thereof), any Grantor or the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer may remove (directly or by transfer of a Grantor) any one or more Pool Aircraft from the Designated Pool so long as either (i) such Pool Aircraft being removed from the Designated Pool (a “Replaced Aircraft”) is replaced by one or more aircraft to be included in the Designated Pool as an Additional Pool Aircraft having an aggregate Appraised Value equal to or greater than the Appraised Value of the Replaced Aircraft being removed (based on three Appraisals of such Replaced Aircraft from Qualified Appraisers, each as of a date no earlier than 180 days prior to the removal of such Replaced Aircraft from the Designated Pool) and having an Eligible Lease thereof in effect (a “Replacement Aircraft”) and the procedures set forth in

- 32 -


Section 2.18(c) below are satisfied with respect to such Replacement Aircraft or (ii) such Grantor delivers or causes to be delivered to the Security Trustee (directly under Section 2.07 or by delivery to the Securities Intermediary under an Account Control Agreement for the benefit of the Security Trustee, as applicable) an amount of cash, to be held as Collateral, equal to or greater than such Appraised Value of the Replaced Aircraft or (iii) such Grantor effects a combination of one or more Replacement Aircraft and delivery of cash as set forth in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) such that the aggregate of the Appraised Value of such Replacement Aircraft and the amount of such cash is equal to or greater than such Appraised Value of the Replaced Aircraft. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to any Replaced Aircraft, the Security Trustee’s security interest (including International Interest) in, and Lien on, such Replaced Aircraft (and any other Aircraft Collateral directly related to such Replaced Aircraft) shall be automatically released and such Replaced Aircraft shall be removed from the Designated Pool. The Security Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver to the Issuer and the relevant Grantor, at the Issuer’s expense, all documents, and take such actions, at the Issuer’s expense, that the Issuer or the relevant Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the Security Trustee’s release of the security interests (including International Interests) in, and Liens on, the applicable Replaced Aircraft (and any other Aircraft Collateral directly related to such Replaced Aircraft). The addition of one or more Replacement Aircraft to the Designated Pool intended to replace one or more Replaced Aircraft may occur at any time prior to or concurrently with the removal of the applicable Replaced Aircraft. The Issuer or any Grantor may, at its option, designate portions of the applicable Appraised Value of any Replacement Aircraft (the sum of which portions may not exceed 100% of such Appraised Value) to be used under this Section 2.18(b), Section 2.18(h) and/or Section 2.18(i) hereof.

                    (c) Addition of Non-Pool Aircraft to the Designated Pool. Any Grantor may add any aircraft to the Designated Pool as an Additional Pool Aircraft at any time; provided that: (i) such aircraft is Owned by such Grantor or by an Eligible Person that becomes a Grantor hereunder at the time such aircraft becomes a Pool Aircraft and has an Eligible Lease thereof in effect; (ii) the relevant Grantor shall have provided three Appraisals of such aircraft from Qualified Appraisers, each as of a date no earlier than 180 days before adding such aircraft to the Designated Pool; (iii) the relevant Grantor shall have executed and delivered to the Security Trustee a Collateral Supplement (or Grantor Supplement if such Person is then becoming an Additional Grantor as provided in Section 2.18(f)) and such documents (including UCC Financing Statements, charge documents (if applicable) and registrations and recordings with the FAA (if applicable) and the International Registry) as are required to grant to the Security Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected security interest in such aircraft (it being understood and agreed that, with respect to the Aircraft Collateral, only the Express Perfection Requirements shall be required to be satisfied); (iv) the relevant Grantor shall have delivered a Lessee Notice to the applicable Lessee in accordance with this Agreement and, as promptly as practicable after the commencement of the leasing of such Additional Pool Aircraft and in any event no later than 180 days after such date shall, to the extent required under the Express Perfection Requirements, procure a Lessee Acknowledgement in accordance with this Agreement signed by the applicable Lessee; and (v) no Enforcement Event shall remain in existence after such addition (provided that the foregoing restriction in this clause (v) shall not be applicable to an addition at any time prior to or concurrently with a removal in anticipation of or in connection with the exercise of any rights, options, obligations or remedies of a Lessee or other Person who is not a Grantor or an Affiliate of a Grantor pursuant to the applicable Lease or

- 33 -


a Permitted Lien referred to in clause (o) of the definition thereof). The Issuer or any Grantor may, at its option, designate portions of the applicable Appraised Value of such Additional Pool Aircraft (the sum of which portions may not exceed 100% of such Appraised Value) to be used under Section 2.18(b), Section 2.18(h) and/or Section 2.18(i) hereof.

                    (d) Intermediate Lessees.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Secured Party by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement hereby requests and instructs the Security Trustee to enter into all Assigned Lease-related documents and instruments on this date and as may arise from time to time for the purpose of establishing and maintaining its security interest for itself and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in respect of any Assigned Lease.

                    (b) The Security Trustee accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same, but only upon the terms of this Agreement (including any quiet enjoyment covenants given to the Lessees and/or, if applicable, any sublessees), and agrees to receive and disburse all moneys received by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Security Trustee in its individual capacity shall not be answerable or accountable under any circumstances, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (or simple negligence in the handling of funds or breach of any of its representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement), and the Security Trustee shall not be liable for any action or inaction of any Grantor or any other parties to any of this Agreement or the Indenture.

                    (c) The powers conferred on the Security Trustee under this Agreement with respect to the Collateral are solely to protect its interests in this Agreement and shall not impose any duty upon it, except as explicitly set forth herein, to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it under this Agreement, the Security Trustee shall not have any duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve or perfect rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Security Trustee shall not have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of any Grantor or Lessee. The Security Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Liens on any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Security Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

          Section 5.03. Reliance; Agents; Advice of Counsel. (a) The Security Trustee shall not incur any liability to anyone as a result of acting upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Security Trustee may accept a copy of a resolution of the board or other governing body of any party to this Agreement or the Indenture, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary thereof or other duly authorized Person of such party as duly adopted and in full force and effect, as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by said board or other governing body and that the same is in full force and effect.

                    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Security Trustee agrees, (i) so long as no “Event of Default” (or similar term) under and as defined in a Lease shall have occurred and be continuing and as otherwise provided in such Lease, not to take any action or cause to be taken any action, or permit any Person claiming by, through or on behalf of it to take any action or cause any action, that would interfere with the possession, use, operation and quiet enjoyment of and other rights of the Lessee (or, if applicable, its sublessee) with respect to the Pool Aircraft or part thereof subject to such Lease or Collateral related thereto and all rents, revenues, profits and income therefrom, including, the right to enforce manufacturers’ warranties, the right to apply or obtain insurance proceeds for damage to such Pool Aircraft or any part thereof to the repair of any Pool Aircraft or any part thereof or otherwise as provided in such Lease and the right to engage in pooling, leasing and similar actions, in each case in accordance with the terms of such Lease, (ii) with respect to a sublease under which the sublessee has been granted rights of quiet enjoyment by a Grantor, so long as no “Event of Default” (or similar term) under and as defined in such sublease shall have occurred and be continuing and as otherwise provided in such sublease, not to take any action or cause to be taken any action, or permit any Person claiming by, through or on behalf of it to take any action or cause any action, that would interfere with the possession, use, operation and quiet enjoyment of and other rights of such sublessee with respect to the Pool Aircraft or part thereof subject to such sublease or Collateral related thereto and all rents, revenues, profits and income therefrom, including, the right to enforce manufacturers’ warranties, the right to apply or obtain insurance proceeds for damage to such Pool Aircraft or any part thereof to the repair of any Pool Aircraft or any part thereof or otherwise as provided in such sublease and the right to engage in pooling, leasing and similar actions, in each case in accordance with the terms of such sublease and (iii) to release any Lien the Security Trustee may have upon any Pool Aircraft or any part thereof upon the exercise by the Lessee or sublessee of such Pool Aircraft or part thereof of any right to purchase such Pool Aircraft or any part thereof or obtain or require the conveyance of title to such Pool Aircraft or any part thereof, in each case as contemplated by Sections 2.18 and 8.07(c) hereof and in accordance with the terms of such Lease or sublease or a Permitted Lien referred to in clause (o) of the definition of Permitted Liens.

                    (c) The Security Trustee agrees to release any security interest (including International Interests) and Lien the Security Trustee may have upon any Engine, and such security interest and Lien is deemed automatically and without further act to be released, upon (i) a Grantor providing the Security Trustee with written notice of a transfer thereof and with a copy of the bill of sale or other instrument evidencing the transfer of title of a replacement

- 55 -


Engine to a Grantor or (ii) the total loss payment being received (or Replacement Aircraft being provided) in a case where the Airframe, but not such Engine, was the subject of an Event of Loss; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Security Trustee shall not release any Lien upon an Engine that is not replaced by a Grantor or a Lessee or sublessee or other Person, unless such Engine is associated with an aircraft that was subject to an Event of Loss or otherwise removed from the Designated Pool (in which case the Security Trustee shall release any security interest (including International Interests) and Lien the Security Trustee may have upon such Engine, and such security interest and Lien is deemed automatically and without further act to be released). The relevant Grantor shall at the request of the Security Trustee execute a supplement to this Agreement to evidence that any such replacement engine has become subject to the Lien of this Agreement and the Security Trustee shall, at the Issuer’s expense and at the request of the Issuer or the relevant Grantor, execute a supplement to this Agreement, and execute and deliver such further documents and take such action as the Issuer or the relevant Grantor shall reasonably request, to evidence the release of the applicable Engine from the security interest (including International Interest) and Lien of the Security Trustee.

                    (d) The Security Trustee, on behalf of each Secured Party, agrees that it will not claim, and upon the request of the Issuer or the relevant Grantor, the Security Trustee will confirm in writing that it does not claim, any right, title or interest in any engine or part (including any audio, visual, telephonic, seating, entertainment or similar equipment) that is installed on a Pool Aircraft which does not constitute an “engine” or “part” as defined in the applicable Lease.

                    (e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Security Trustee agrees that a Grantor or an Intermediate Lessee may from time to time lease out an engine that is part of a Pool Aircraft or lease in an engine that is not part of a Pool Aircraft as it determines in accordance with Leasing Company Practice.

                    (f) The Security Trustee shall, from time to time upon the request of the Issuer or the relevant Grantor, provide a quiet enjoyment letter or agreement (in the substance of Section 8.13(b) or as provided in Section 2.06(a), if applicable, or as otherwise agreed with the Issuer or the relevant Grantor or in the form provided for in the applicable Lease) relating to each Lease and/or, if applicable, sublease of each aircraft that will be or is a Pool Aircraft. In furtherance of the foregoing:

                              (I) if the applicable Lease so provides (or it is consistent with Leasing Company Practice to so agree with the applicable Lessee), the Security Trustee shall provide an agreement that if an “event of default” under the Lease shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Security Trustee will not: (i) discharge the registration with the International Registry of the International Interests arising with respect to the Lease, or (ii) transfer the right to discharge any of such International Interests to any other Person or cause any such right to be so transferred; and

                              (II) if the term of the applicable Lease is extended or there is an engine substitution or replacement under a Lease, the Security Trustee shall, upon the request of the Issuer or the relevant Grantor, register on the International Registry a subordination of the International Interest provided for hereunder with respect to each Aircraft Object subject to such

- 56 -


Lease to any International Interest constituted by the extension of such term and/or the lease of such substitute or replacement engine.

          Section 8.14. Limited Recourse. (a) The Grantors are not obligors with respect to the Secured Notes, and are not guarantors with respect to the Secured Obligations except in respect of their obligation to provide Collateral pursuant to Section 2.01. Accordingly, in the event that the Collateral of a Grantor is insufficient, after payment of all other claims, if any, ranking in priority to the claims of the Security Trustee or any Secured Party hereunder, to pay in full claims of the Security Trustee or such Secured Party (as the case may be) for payment of all Secured Obligations payable hereunder, then the Security Trustee or such Secured Party shall have no further claim against such Grantor in respect of any such unpaid amounts.

                    (b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of any party contained in this Agreement shall be had against any shareholder, officer or director of the relevant party as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is a corporate obligation of the relevant party and no personal liability shall attach to or be incurred by the shareholders, officers or directors of the relevant party as such, or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such relevant party contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by such party of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at law or by statute or constitution, of every such shareholder, officer or director is hereby expressly waived by the other parties as a condition of and consideration for the execution of this Agreement.

                    (c) The guarantees, obligations, liabilities and undertakings granted by any Grantor organized under the laws of France or a similar jurisdiction under this Agreement and the other Security Documents shall, for each relevant financial year, be, in any and all cases, strictly limited to 90% of the annual net margin generated by such Grantor or Grantors in connection with back-to-back leasing activities between it and any other Grantor with respect to the lease of Pool Aircraft.

                    (d) Each Grantor that is a bank or trust company that executes this Agreement or any related document as an owner trustee is doing so solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee under the relevant trust agreement and not in its individual capacity, and in no case shall it (or any entity acting as successor Owner Trustee under the relevant trust agreement) be personally liable for or on account of any of the statements, representations, warranties, covenants or obligations stated to be those of such Grantor, all such liability being hereby waived; provided, however, that it (or any successor Owner Trustee) shall be personally liable for its own gross negligence, its own simple negligence in the handling of funds actually received by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, its fraud or willful misconduct; and provided, further, that nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to limit the exercise and enforcement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any related document of rights and remedies against the relevant trust estate.

SCHEDULE V
AIRCRAFT MORTGAGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

INSURANCE

 

 

 

1.

Obligation to Insure

 

 

 

 

Subject to the other paragraphs of this Schedule V, so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, each Grantor will ensure that there is effected and maintained appropriate Insurances in respect of each Pool Aircraft Owned or leased by such Grantor and such Pool Aircraft’s operation including insurance for:

 

 

 

 

(a)

loss or damage to such Pool Aircraft and each part thereof; and

 

 

 

 

(b)

any liability for injury to or death of persons and damage to or the destruction of public or private property arising out of or in connection with the operation, storage, maintenance or use of (in each case to the extent available) such Pool Aircraft and of any other part thereof not belonging to or leased by such Grantor but from time to time installed on the airframe of such Pool Aircraft.

 

 

 

2.

Specific Insurances

 

 

 

 

Each Grantor will maintain or will cause to be maintained the following specific Insurances with respect to each Pool Aircraft Owned or leased by it (subject to the other paragraphs of this Schedule V):

 

 

 

 

(a)

All Risks Hull Insurance - All risks hull insurance policy on such Pool Aircraft in an amount at least equal to the “Agreed Value” or other minimum amount required to be carried by the Lessee under the applicable Lease (or if no Lease is in effect the Appraised Value) of such Pool Aircraft (the “Required Insured Value”) on an agreed value basis (it being understood and agreed that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Security Trustee is not required to be named as loss payee or a “Contract Party” in respect of such hull insurance, but that upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Security Trustee is required to be named as loss payee or “Contract Party,” as applicable, in respect of such hull insurance);

 

 

 

 

(b)

Hull War Risk Insurance - Hull war risk and allied perils insurance, including hijacking, (excluding, however, confiscation by government of registry or country of domicile to the extent coverage of such risk is not generally available to the applicable Lessee in the relevant insurance market at a commercially reasonable cost or is not customarily obtained in accordance with Leasing Company Practice) on such Pool Aircraft where the custom in the industry is to carry war risk for aircraft operating on routes or kept in locations similar to such Pool Aircraft in an amount not less than the Required Insured Value on an agreed value basis (it being understood and agreed that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Security Trustee is not required to be named as loss payee or a “Contract Party” in respect of such hull insurance, but that upon the occurrence

Sch. V-1



 

 

 

 

 

and continuance of an Event of Default, the Security Trustee is required to be named as loss payee or “Contract Party,” as applicable, in respect of such hull insurance);

 

 

 

 

(c)

Legal Liability Insurance - Third party legal liability insurance (including war and allied perils) for a combined single limit (bodily injured and property damage) of not less than such amount as is consistent with Leasing Company Practice. The Security Trustee shall be named as additional insured on such policies;

 

 

 

 

(d)

Aircraft Spares Insurance - Insurance for the engines and the parts while not installed on the airframe for their replacement cost or an agreed value basis.

 

 

 

3.

Variations on Specific Insurance Requirements

 

 

 

 

In certain circumstances, it is customary that not all of the Insurances described in paragraph 1 or 2 of this Schedule V be carried for the Pool Aircraft. For example, when a Pool Aircraft is not on lease to a passenger air carrier or is in storage or is being repaired or maintained, ferry or ground rather than passenger flight coverage for such Pool Aircraft is applicable. Similarly, indemnities may be provided by a Governmental Authority or other Person in lieu of particular insurances. The relevant Grantor will determine the necessary coverage for the Pool Aircraft in such situations consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft.

 

 

 

4.

Hull Insurances in Excess of Required Insurance Value

 

 

 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, any Grantor and/or any Lessee or sublessee may carry hull risks and hull war and allied perils insurance on any Pool Aircraft in excess of the Required Insured Value for such Pool Aircraft which will not be payable to the Security Trustee. Such excess insurances may be payable to any Person acceptable to such Grantor.

All insurance and reinsurances effected pursuant to this Schedule V shall be payable in Dollars, save that in the case of the Insurances referred to in paragraph 2(c) (if such denomination is (a) required by the law of the state of registration of the Pool Aircraft; or (b) the normal practice of airlines in the relevant country that operate aircraft leased from lessors located outside such country; or (c) otherwise accepted in accordance with Leasing Company Practice) or paragraph 2(d) of this Schedule V such Insurances may be payable in currencies other than Dollars.

 

 

 

6.

Certain Specific Terms of Insurances outside the U.S. Insurance Market

 

 

 

 

With respect to any Pool Aircraft Owned or leased by a Grantor as to which the insurance policies required by this Schedule V with respect to such Pool Aircraft are led from the London and/or other non-US insurance market and which pertain to financed or leased aircraft equipment, such Grantor agrees that, so long as this Agreement shall remain in

Sch. V-2



 

 

 

 

effect, such Pool Aircraft will be insured and such insurance policies endorsed either (i) in a manner consistent with AVN67B or a successor London market endorsement, as it may be amended or revised or its equivalent or (ii) as may then be customary in the airline industry for aircraft of the same type as such Pool Aircraft utilized by operators in the same country and whose operational network for such Pool Aircraft and credit status is similar to the type of business as the applicable Lessee (if any) and at the time commonly available in the insurance market. In all cases, the relevant Grantor will set the standards for, review and manage the Insurances on the Pool Aircraft consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft.

 

 

 

7.

Insurance Brokers and Insurers

 

 

 

 

In reviewing and accepting the insurance brokers (if any) and reinsurance brokers (if any) and insurers and reinsurers (if any) providing coverage with respect to the Pool Aircraft, the relevant Grantor will utilize standards consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft. It is recognized that airlines in certain countries are required to utilize brokers (and sometimes even no brokers) or carry insurance with local insurance brokers and insurers. If at any time any Pool Aircraft is not subject to a Lease, the relevant Grantor will cause its insurance brokers to provide the Security Trustee with evidence that the insurances required by this Schedule V are in full force and effect.

 

 

 

8.

Deductible Amounts, Self-Insurance and Reinsurance

 

 

 

 

With respect to the type of aircraft concerned, the nationality and creditworthiness of the airline operator, the airline operator’s use and operation thereof and to the scope of and the amount covered by the insurances carried by the Lessee, the relevant Grantor will apply standards consistent with Leasing Company Practice with respect to similar aircraft in reviewing and accepting the amount of any insurance deductibles, whether the Lessee may self-insure any of the risks covered by the insurances and the scope and terms of reinsurance, if any, including a cut-through clause. If any time a Pool Aircraft is not subject to a Lease, the relevant Grantor shall cause to be maintained the Insurances required hereunder but it may have deductibles consistent with Leasing Company Practice for other off-lease aircraft or be “self-insured” by the Issuer or General Electric Company in a manner consistent with Leasing Company Practice for other off-lease aircraft.

 

 

 

9.

Renewals

 

 

 

 

The Issuer will ensure that the Insurances on the Pool Aircraft and their expiration dates are monitored. The relevant Grantor shall, when requested by the Security Trustee, promptly inform the Security Trustee as to whether or not it has been advised that renewal instructions for any of the Insurances have been given by the airline operator or its broker prior to or on the scheduled expiry date of the relevant insurance. The relevant Grantor shall promptly notify the Security Trustee in writing if it receives notice that any of the Insurances have in fact expired without renewal. Promptly after receipt, the relevant Grantor will provide to the Security Trustee evidence of renewal of the Insurances and reinsurance (if any).

Sch. V-3



 

 

 

10.

Information

 

 

 

 

Subject to applicable confidentiality restrictions, each of the Grantors shall provide the Security Trustee or shall ensure that the Security Trustee is provided with any information reasonably requested by it from time to time concerning the Insurances maintained with respect to the Pool Aircraft or, if reasonably available to the Grantors, in connection with any claim being made or proposed to be made thereunder.

AIRCRAFT MORTGAGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

FORM OF ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

[●],[●]

[Securities Intermediary]

Whereas, [●] (“Pledgor”) has granted to Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association, as Security Trustee (“Pledgee”), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in Account number [●] (the “Cash Collateral Account”) held by [●] (the “Securities Intermediary”), together with all financial funds, investments, instruments, assets, investment property, securities, cash and other property now or hereafter held therein, and the proceeds thereof, including without limitation dividends payable in cash or stock and shares or other proceeds of conversions or splits of any securities in the Cash Collateral Account (collectively, the “Collateral”). Pledgor, Pledgee and the Securities Intermediary agree that the Cash Collateral Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York (the “UCC”) and that all Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account will be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

Whereas, the grant of security interest described above is pursuant to that certain Aircraft Mortgage and Security Agreement dated as of December 12, 2012 among the Pledgor, the other grantors referred to therein, and the Pledgee (the “Security Agreement”) in order to secure the Secured Obligations of General Electric Capital Corporation (the “Issuer” ) under the Secured Notes.

[INSERT IF APPLICABLE: The “Trust Agreement” is that certain Trust Agreement [insert descriptors, if any] dated as of [*] between the Owner Trustee referred to on the signature pages hereof and the owner participant party thereto.]

Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Security Agreement.

In connection therewith, the parties hereto agree (which agreement by the Pledgor will be construed as instructions to the Securities Intermediary):

 

 

1.

The Securities Intermediary is instructed to register the security interest on its books. Securities Intermediary shall hold all certificated securities that comprise all or part of the Collateral with proper endorsements to the Securities Intermediary or in blank, or will deliver possession of such certificated securities to the Pledgee. The Securities Intermediary acknowledges the security interest granted by the Pledgor in favor of the Pledgee in the Collateral.

Exh. F-1



 

 

2.

The Securities Intermediary represents, warrants and agrees that the Cash Collateral Account (i) has been established and is and will be maintained with the Securities Intermediary on its books and records and (ii) is and will be a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC) in respect of which (A) the Securities Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC), (B) the Pledgor is the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) of the Cash Collateral Account subject to the “control” (as defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) of the Pledgee, (C) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (as defined in Section 8-110(e) of the UCC) of the Securities Intermediary in respect of the Cash Collateral Account is New York and (D) all financial assets carried in the Cash Collateral Account will have been duly credited thereto in compliance with Section 8-501 of the UCC.

 

 

3.

The Securities Intermediary is instructed to deliver to the Pledgee copies of monthly statements on the Cash Collateral Account.

 

 

4.

The Cash Collateral Account will be styled: “[Grantor] Cash Collateral Account for Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association, as Security Trustee”.

 

 

5.

All dividends, interest, gains and other profits with respect to the Cash Collateral Account will be reported in the name and tax identification number of the Pledgor.

 

 

6.

The Securities Intermediary may not, without the prior written consent of Pledgee, deliver, release or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein unless the proceeds thereof are held or reinvested in the Cash Collateral Account as part of the Collateral or applied by Securities Intermediary to the satisfaction of an Unsubordinated Obligation (as defined below) owed to it. Except for such limitation and unless and until the Securities Intermediary receives and has a reasonable period of time to act upon written notice from the Pledgee in the form of Exhibit A hereto which states that Pledgee is exercising exclusive control over the Cash Collateral Account (a “Notice of Exclusive Control”), the Securities Intermediary shall comply with any investment orders or instructions from Pledgor or Issuer concerning the Cash Collateral Account. A Notice of Exclusive Control may be delivered by the Pledgee at any time upon the occurrence and continuance of an Enforcement Event (as defined in the Security Agreement), and shall designate the account, person or other location to which the financial assets in the Cash Collateral Account, and cash dividends, interest, income, earnings and other distributions received with respect thereto, shall thereafter be delivered. As between Pledgor and Pledgee, Pledgee agrees not to deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control until the occurrence of an Enforcement Event (as defined in the Security Agreement) that is continuing. For the avoidance of doubt, Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility for monitoring or determining whether an Enforcement Event has occurred or is continuing.

 

 

7.

The Pledgor authorizes the Securities Intermediary, and the Securities Intermediary agrees, to comply with any entitlement order or instruction from Pledgee concerning the Cash Collateral Account, including an order or instruction directing sale, transfer (to the extent that the Collateral is transferable), release or redemption of all or part of the Collateral and the remittance of the proceeds thereof, if any, to Pledgee or as otherwise

Exh. F-2



 

 

 

instructed by the Pledgee, without further consent by the Pledgor. Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility or liability to Pledgor for complying with any order or instruction, whether oral or written, concerning the Cash Collateral Account, the Collateral, any interest therein, or the proceeds thereof originated by Pledgee and shall have no responsibility to investigate the appropriateness of any such order or instruction, even if Pledgor notifies Securities Intermediary that Pledgee is not legally entitled to originate any such order or instruction. Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility or liability to Pledgee for complying with any order or instruction, whether oral or written, concerning the Cash Collateral Account, the Collateral, any interest therein, or the proceeds thereof originated by Pledgor except to the extent such compliance would cause Securities Intermediary to violate (i) paragraph 6 hereof or (ii) written orders or instructions previously received from Pledgee, including without limitation, a Notice of Exclusive Control, but only to the extent Securities Intermediary has had reasonable opportunity to act thereon. Securities Intermediary shall be able to rely upon any notice, order or instruction that it reasonably believes to be genuine. Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility or liability to Pledgee with respect to the value of the Cash Collateral Account or any of the Collateral. This Agreement does not create any obligation or duty on the part of Securities Intermediary other than those expressly set forth herein.

 

 

8.

The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold the Securities Intermediary, its directors, officers, employees, and agents harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses, lawsuits, demands, damages, costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, that may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or not taken pursuant hereto, except to the extent caused by Securities Intermediary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Issuer set forth in this paragraph 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

 

9.

The Securities Intermediary is instructed that the Cash Collateral Account is to remain a “cash account” within the meaning of Regulation T issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Securities Intermediary represents that it has not received notice regarding any lien, encumbrance or other claim to the Collateral or the Cash Collateral Account from any other person or entity and has not entered into an agreement with any third party to act on such third party’s instructions without further consent of the Pledgor. The Securities Intermediary further agrees not to enter into any such agreement with any third party.

 

 

10.

The Securities Intermediary subordinates to the lien and security interest of the Pledgee any right of setoff, encumbrance, security interest, lien or other claim that it may have against the Collateral, except for any lien, claim, encumbrance or right of set off against the Cash Collateral Account for (i) customary commissions and fees arising from permitted trading activity within the Cash Collateral Account, and (ii) payment owed to Securities Intermediary for open trade commitments for the purchase and/or sale of financial assets in and for the Cash Collateral Account (the “Unsubordinated Obligations”).

Exh. F-3



 

 

11.

To the extent a conflict exists between the terms of this Agreement and any account agreement between the Pledgor and the Securities Intermediary, the terms of this Agreement will control, provided that this Agreement shall not alter or affect any mandatory arbitration provision currently in effect between Securities Intermediary and Pledgor.

 

 

12.

The terms of this Agreement may not be modified except by a writing signed by all parties hereto.

 

 

13.

Securities Intermediary reserves the right, unilaterally, to terminate this Agreement, such termination to be effective thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given to Pledgor and Pledgee. At the end of such thirty (30) day period, Securities Intermediary will deliver all assets held in the Cash Collateral Account to Pledgee unless Pledgee and Pledgor deliver joint instructions to Securities Intermediary during such thirty (30) day period to deliver or transfer the assets held in the Cash Collateral Account to another party or securities intermediary. In the event that it is not possible or practicable, in the judgment of the Securities Intermediary, to transfer the Collateral or deliver the Collateral to any other party, the Securities Intermediary will sell such assets and deliver the proceeds according to the instructions provided by the Pledgee or the joint instructions given by the Pledgee and Pledgor. Nothing set forth in this paragraph 13 shall be deemed to limit the right of Pledgee to issue orders or instructions to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to paragraph 6 hereof. Pledgee and Pledgor may terminate this Agreement by giving joint notice to Securities Intermediary. Termination shall not affect any of the rights or liabilities of the parties hereto incurred before the date of termination.

 

 

14.

This Agreement and the Security Agreement set forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and, subject to paragraph 10 above, supersedes any prior agreement and contemporaneous oral agreements of the parties concerning its subject matter.

 

 

15.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice, order, instruction, request or other communication required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and may be delivered in person, sent by facsimile or other electronic means if electronic confirmation of error free receipt is received, or sent by United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party at the address set forth below.

 

 

16.

The Securities Intermediary will be excused from failing to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of the Securities Intermediary, if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Securities Intermediary, including without limitation legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, terrorism, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communication or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or act, negligence or default of Pledgor or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from Securities Intermediary’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

Exh. F-4



 

 

17.

Issuer agrees to pay Securities Intermediary, upon receipt of Securities Intermediary’s invoice, all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred in the preparation and administration of this Agreement (including any amendments hereto or instruments or agreements required hereunder). Issuer agrees to pay Securities Intermediary, upon receipt of Securities Intermediary’s invoice, all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Securities Intermediary in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder, including without limitation any reasonable costs, expenses, and fees arising out of the resolution of any conflict, dispute, motion regarding entitlement to rights or rights of action, or other action to enforce Securities Intermediary’s rights hereunder in a case arising under Title 11, United States Code. This paragraph 17 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

 

18.

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event of the commencement of a case pursuant to Title 11, United States Code, filed by or against Pledgor, or in the event of the commencement of any similar case under then applicable federal or state law providing for the relief of debtors or the protection of creditors by or against Pledgor, Securities Intermediary may act as Securities Intermediary deems necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of governing statutes and Pledgor shall not assert any claim against Securities Intermediary for so doing.

 

 

19.

If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable term or provision were omitted.

 

 

20.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

 

21.

This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, and all issues concerning the relationship of the parties and the enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without reference to conflict of laws principles (with the exception of 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law)).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Registration Statement on Form S-3, file no. 333-178262 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the prospectus included therein, the prospectus supplement, dated December 5, 2012, filed with the Commission on December 6, 2012 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”), and the offering by the Company pursuant thereto of $300,000,000 Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2015, $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 and $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.100% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”).

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following additional exceptions, qualifications, limitations and assumptions:

                    A. We render no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York and to the extent relevant for our opinions herein, the Delaware General Corporation Law. This opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the laws of the State of New York and the Delaware General Corporation Law and the facts as they currently exist.

                    C. We express no opinion regarding the effectiveness of (i) any waiver of stay, extension or usury laws or of unknown future rights, (ii) provisions relating to indemnification, exculpation or contribution, to the extent such provisions may be held unenforceable as contrary to public policy or federal or state securities laws or (iii) any waiver of the right to jury trial.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Opinions” in the Prospectus Supplement.
