THE COMPANY The Company is a diversified financial services company specializing in retirement savings products and services. At June 30, 1995, the Company held $27 billion of assets throughout its businesses, including $16.20 billion of assets on its balance sheet, $2.08 billion of assets managed in mutual funds and private accounts and $8.76 billion under custody in retirement trust accounts. Together, the Company's life insurance companies rank among the largest U.S. issuers of annuities. Complementing these annuity operations are the Company's asset management operations; its two broker-dealers, which the Company believes, based on industry data, represent the largest network of independent registered representatives in the nation; and its trust company, which provides administrative and custodial services to qualified retirement plans. Through these subsidiaries, the Company specializes in the sale of tax-deferred long-term savings products and investments to the expanding preretirement savings market. The Company markets fixed annuities and fee-generating variable annuities, mutual funds and trust services, as well as guaranteed investment contracts. The Company's products are distributed through a broad spectrum of financial services distribution channels, including independent registered representatives of the Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries and unaffiliated broker-dealers, independent general insurance agents and financial institutions. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1 SunAmerica Center, Los Angeles, California 90067-6022, telephone number (310) 772-6000. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On September 20, 1995, the Company, wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor National Life Insurance Company, had signed a definitive agreement to acquire CalFarm Life Insurance Company ("CalFarm Life") from its parent, Zenith National Insurance Corp., for approximately $120 million in cash. Completion of the acquisition, expected by year-end 1995, is subject to receipt of normal regulatory approvals and other customary terms and conditions. CalFarm Life is headquartered in Sacramento, California and currently markets a range of life and health insurance and annuity products, specializing in the qualified 403(b) market for teachers and other non-profit organizations. At June 30, 1995, CalFarm Life had approximately $739 million in annuity and life reserves, and approximately $2.8 billion of life insurance in force. Under terms of the agreement, Zenith National will retain the company's health insurance business. On September 11, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved for submission to shareholder vote an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized capital from (i) 50,000,000 to 175,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 15,000,000 to 25,000,000 shares of Class B Stock. The Company has scheduled a special shareholders' meeting on October 30, 1995 (for shareholders of record as of September 21, 1995) for consideration of the proposed increase in authorized capital stock. On September 11, 1995, the Board of Directors also approved a three-for-two stock split, to be effected in the form of a stock dividend, of its outstanding Common Stock and Class B Stock, contingent upon shareholder approval of the proposed increase in authorized capital stock. USE OF PROCEEDS Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment or redemption of outstanding debt or preferred stock, the possible acquisition of financial services businesses or assets thereof, investments in portfolio assets and working capital needs. The Company routinely reviews opportunities to acquire financial services businesses or assets thereof.

Nine months ended June 30, Years ended September 30, (unaudited) ---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1994 1995 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ----------- ---------- Ratio of earnings to fixed charges (excluding interest incurred on reserves and trust deposits)(1) 2.4x 2.7x 4.0x 6.1x 5.8x 5.9x 5.8x Ratio of earnings to fixed charges (including interest incurred on reserves and trust deposits)(2) 1.1x 1.1x 1.2x 1.4x 1.5x 1.5x 1.5x Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends (excluding interest incurred on reserves and trust deposits)(3) 2.0x 2.3x 2.7x 2.8x 2.8x 2.8x 3.3x Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends (including interest incurred on reserves and trust deposits)(4) 1.1x 1.1x 1.2x 1.3x 1.4x 1.4x 1.4x
___________ (1) In computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges (excluding interest incurred on reserves and trust deposits), fixed charges consist of interest expense on senior and subordinated indebtedness and dividends on the preferred securities of a subsidiary grantor trust. Earnings are computed by adding interest incurred on senior and subordinated indebtedness and dividends paid on the preferred securities of a subsidiary grantor trust to pretax income. (2) In computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges (including interest incurred on reserves and trust deposits), fixed charges consist of interest expense on senior and subordinated indebtedness, fixed annuity contracts, guaranteed investment contracts and trust deposits, and dividends on the preferred securities of a subsidiary grantor trust. Earnings are computed by adding interest incurred on senior and subordinated indebtedness, fixed annuity contracts, guaranteed investment contracts and trust deposits, and dividends paid on the preferred securities of a subsidiary grantor trust to pretax income. (3) In computing the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends (excluding interest incurred on reserves and trust deposits), combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends consist of interest expense on senior and subordinated indebtedness, dividends on the preferred securities of a subsidiary grantor trust and dividends on preferred stock of the Company on a tax equivalent basis. Earnings are computed by adding interest incurred on senior and subordinated indebtedness and dividends paid on the preferred securities of a subsidiary grantor trust to pretax income. (4) In computing the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends (including interest incurred on reserves and trust deposits), combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends consist of interest expense on senior and subordinated indebtedness, fixed annuity contracts, guaranteed investment contracts and trust deposits; dividends on the preferred securities of a subsidiary grantor trust; and dividends on preferred stock of the Company on a tax equivalent basis. Earnings are computed by adding interest incurred on senior and subordinated indebtedness, fixed annuity contracts, guaranteed investment contracts and trust deposits and dividends paid on the preferred securities of a subsidiary grantor trust to pretax income. DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES The Company's unsecured Debt Securities, consisting of notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness, may constitute either senior Debt Securities ("Senior Debt Securities") or subordinated Debt Securities ("Subordinated Debt Securities") of the Company and will be issued in the case of Senior Debt Securities, under a Senior Indenture dated as of April 15, 1993 (the "Senior Debt Indenture") between the Company and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee, and in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities, under a Subordinated Indenture dated as of April 15, 1993 (the "Subordinated Debt Indenture") between the Company and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee. The Senior Debt Indenture and the Subordinated Debt Indenture are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as an "Indenture" and collectively as the "Indentures". The First National Bank of Chicago, in its capacity as trustee under either or both of the Indentures, is referred to hereinafter as the "Trustee." The Indentures are included as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The following description summarizes the material terms of the Indentures and the Debt Securities and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the applicable Indenture, which contains the full text of such provisions, including the definition of certain terms used herein, and for other information regarding the Debt Securities. Numerical references in parentheses below are to sections in the applicable Indenture. Wherever particular sections or defined terms of the applicable Indenture are referred to, such sections or defined terms are incorporated herein by reference as part of the statement made, and the statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference. The indentures are substantially identical except for provisions relating to subordination and the Company's negative pledge and restrictions on certain dispositions. Any Debt Securities offered by this Prospectus and the accompanying Prospectus Supplement are referred to herein as the "Offered Debt Securities". General Neither of the Indentures limits the amount of additional indebtedness the Company or any of its subsidiaries may incur. The Debt Securities will be unsecured senior or subordinated obligations of the Company. Since the Company is a holding company, the Company's rights and the rights of its creditors, including the holders of Debt Securities, to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the latter's liquidation or recapitalization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent that the Company may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. Claims on the Company's subsidiaries by creditors other than the Company include substantial claims for policy benefits and debt obligations, as well as other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business. In addition, since many of the Company's subsidiaries are insurance companies subject to regulatory control by various state insurance departments, the ability of such subsidiaries to pay dividends or make loans or advances to the Company without prior regulatory approval is limited by applicable laws and regulations. The Indentures do not limit the amount of Debt Securities that may be issued and provide that Debt Securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in foreign currencies or units based on or related to foreign currencies, including European Currency Units. Special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to any Debt Securities so denominated are described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement. Reference is made to the applicable Prospectus Supplement for the following terms of and information relating to the Offered Debt Securities offered thereby (to the extent such terms are applicable to such Debt Securities): (i) classification as senior or subordinated Debt Securities, the specific designation, aggregate principal amount, purchase price and denomination; (ii) currency or units based on or relating to currencies in which the Offered Debt Securities are denominated and/or in which principal, premium, if any, and/or any interest will or may be payable; (iii) any date of maturity; (iv) interest rate or rates (or the method by which such rate will be determined), if any; (v) the dates on which any such interest will be payable; (vi) the place or places where the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Offered Debt Securities will be payable; (vii) any redemption, repayment or sinking fund provisions; (viii) whether, in the case of Subordinated Debt Securities, such Offered Debt Securities are convertible into Common Stock of the Company; (ix) whether the Offered Debt Securities will be issuable in registered form ("Registered Debt Securities") or bearer form ("Bearer Debt Securities") or both and, if Bearer Debt Securities are issuable, any restrictions applicable to the place of payment of any principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bearer Debt Securities, to the exchange of one form for another and to the offer, sale and delivery of such Bearer Debt Securities (except that under current United States federal income tax law, Registered Debt Securities will not be exchangeable into Bearer Debt Securities); (x) any applicable United States federal income tax consequences, including whether and under what circumstances the Company will pay additional amounts on Offered Debt Securities held by a person who is not a U.S. person (as hereinafter defined) in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted and, if so, whether the Company will have the option to redeem such Debt Securities rather than pay such additional amounts; (xi) the proposed listing, if any, of the Offered Debt Securities on any securities exchange; and (xii) any other specific terms of the Offered Debt Securities, including any modifications of or additions to the events of default or covenants provided for with respect to such Debt Securities, and any terms which may be required by or advisable under applicable laws or regulations not inconsistent with the applicable Indenture. Debt Securities may be presented for exchange and Registered Debt Securities may be presented for transfer in the manner, at the places and subject to the restrictions set forth in the Debt Securities and the Prospectus Supplement. Such services will be provided without charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, but subject to the limitations provided in the applicable Indenture. Debt Securities in bearer form and the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto will be transferable by delivery. Debt Securities will bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate. Debt Securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below the prevailing market rate will be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. Special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to any such discounted Debt Securities or to certain Debt Securities issued at par which are treated as having been issued at a discount for United States federal income tax purposes are described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement. Debt Securities may be issued, from time to time, with the principal amount payable on any principal payment date, or the amount of interest payable on any interest payment date, to be determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such Debt Securities may receive a principal amount on any principal payment date, or a payment of interest on any interest payment date, that is greater than or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value on such dates of the applicable currency, commodity, equity index or other factor. Information as to the methods for determining the amount of principal or interest payable on any date, the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on such date is linked and certain additional tax considerations will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Global Debt Securities The registered Debt Securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global Securities (a "Registered Global Security") that will be deposited with a depositary (a "Depositary") or with a nominee for a Depositary identified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof. In such case, one or more Registered Global Securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding registered Debt Securities of the series to be represented by such Registered Global Security or Securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for Debt Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such Registered Security to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor of such Depositary or a nominee of such successor. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a series of Debt Securities to be represented by a Registered Global Security will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. The Company anticipates that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Registered Global Security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the Depositary for such Registered Global Security ("participants") or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participant's accounts with the respective principal amounts of the Debt Securities represented by such Registered Global Security beneficially owned by such participants. The accounts to be credited shall be designated by any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of such Debt Securities. Ownership of beneficial interests in such Registered Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary for such Registered Global Security (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons holding through participants). The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in Registered Global Securities. So long as the Depositary for a Registered Global Security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of such Registered Global Security, such Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt Securities represented by such Registered Global Security for all purposes under the applicable Indenture. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a Registered Global Security will not be entitled to have the Debt Securities represented by such Registered Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such Debt Securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the applicable Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Registered Global Security must rely on the procedures of the Depositary for such Registered Global Security and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable Indenture. The Company understands that under existing industry practices, if the Company requests any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a Registered Global Security desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable Indenture, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them. Payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, of Debt Securities represented by a Registered Global Security registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee will be made to such Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owners of such Registered Global Security. None of the Company, the Trustee or any other agent of the Company or agent of the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in such Registered Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. The Company expects that the Depositary for any Debt Securities represented by a Registered Global Security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest in respect of such Registered Global Security, will immediately credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in such Registered Global Security as shown on the records of such Depositary. The Company also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Registered Global Security held through such participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name", and will be the responsibility of such participants. If the Depositary for any Debt Securities represented by a Registered Global Security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the 1934 Act, and a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the 1934 Act is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue such Debt Securities in definitive form in exchange for such Registered Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine not to have any of the Debt Securities of a series represented by one or more Registered Global Securities and, in such event, will issue Debt Securities of such series in a definitive form in exchange for all of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Debt Securities. Any Debt Securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a Registered Global Security will be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. It is expected that such instructions will be based upon directions received by the Depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in such Registered Global Security. Bearer Debt Securities of a series may also be issued in the form of one or more global Securities (a "Bearer Global Security") that will be deposited with a common depositary for Euro-clear and CEDEL, or with a nominee for such depositary identified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. The specific terms and procedures, including the specific terms of the depositary arrangement and any specific procedures for the issuance of Debt Securities in definitive form in exchange for a Bearer Global Security, with respect to any portion of a series of Debt Securities to be represented by a Bearer Global Security will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. Senior Debt Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Debt Securities issued under the Senior Debt Indenture will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Company. Subordinated Debt Subordination. Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Debt Securities issued under the Subordinated Debt Indenture will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Subordinated Debt Indenture, to all "Senior Indebtedness" of the Company. The Subordinated Debt Indenture defines "Senior Indebtedness" as the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on (a) all indebtedness of the Company, whether outstanding on the date of the Subordinated Debt Indenture or thereafter created, (i) for money borrowed by the Company, (ii) for money borrowed by, or obligations of, others and either assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (iii) in respect of letters of credit and acceptances issued or made by banks, or (iv) constituting purchase money indebtedness, or indebtedness secured by property included in the property, plant and equipment accounts of the Company at the time of the acquisition of such property by the Company, for the payment of which the Company is directly liable, and (b) all deferrals, renewals, extensions and refundings of, and amendments, modifications and supplements to, any such indebtedness. As used in the preceding sentence the term "purchase money indebtedness" means indebtedness evidenced by a note, debenture, bond or other instrument (whether or not secured by any lien or other security interest) issued or assumed as all or a part of the consideration for the acquisition of property, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, unless by its terms such indebtedness is subordinate to other indebtedness of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Subordinated Debt Indenture or the Subordinated Debt Securities, Senior Indebtedness shall not include, (i) any indebtedness of the Company which, by its terms or the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing it, is subordinate in right of payment to or pari passu with the Subordinated Debt Securities or (ii) any indebtedness of the Company to a subsidiary of the Company. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 1.1). The Subordinated Indenture does not contain any limitation on the amount of Senior Indebtedness that can be incurred by the Company. Indebtedness issued or to be issued pursuant to the Indenture dated March 15, 1995 between the Company and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee, providing for the issuance of junior subordinated indebtedness of the Company is subordinate in right of payment to the Subordinated Debt Securities. As of the date of this Prospectus, approximately $54.3 million principal amount of 9.95% junior subordinated debentures due 2044 are outstanding under such Indenture. In the event (a) of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in respect of the Company or its property, or (b) that Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are declared and payable before their expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Subordinated Debt Indenture (under circumstances other than as set forth in clause (a) above), then the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon in money or money's worth, before the holders of any of such Subordinated Debt Securities or coupons appertaining thereto are entitled to receive a payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by such Subordinated Debt Securities or of such coupons appertaining thereto. In the event and during the continuation of any default in payment of any Senior Indebtedness or if any event of default shall exist under any Senior Indebtedness, as "event of default" is defined therein or in the agreement under which the same is outstanding, no payment of the principal or interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities or coupons shall be made. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Article 13) If this Prospectus is being delivered in connection with a series of Subordinated Debt Securities, the accompanying Prospectus Supplement will set forth the approximate amount of Senior Indebtedness outstanding as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. Conversion Rights. The terms and conditions, if any, on which Subordinated Debt Securities are convertible into Common Stock of the Company will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating thereto. Such terms will include the conversion price, the conversion period, provisions as to whether conversion will be at the option of the holder or the Company, the events requiring an adjustment of the conversion price and provisions affecting conversion in the event of the redemption of the convertible Subordinated Debt Securities; and such terms may include provisions under which the number of shares of Common Stock to be received by the holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities would be calculated according to the market price of the Common Stock as of a time stated in the prospectus supplement. Certain Covenants of the Company Limitations on Liens. The Senior Debt Indenture provides that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined below) may not issue, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by a mortgage, pledge, lien or other encumbrance (except for certain liens specifically permitted by the Senior Debt Indenture), directly or indirectly, upon any shares of the Voting Stock (as defined in the Senior Debt Indenture) of a Restricted Subsidiary which shares are owned by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries without effectively providing that the Debt Securities issued under the Senior Debt Indenture (and if the Company so elects, any other indebtedness of the Company ranking on a parity with such Debt Securities) shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, any such secured indebtedness so long as such indebtedness remains outstanding. The foregoing restrictions, however, do not apply to liens upon any shares of Voting Stock of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and extensions, renewals or replacements thereof. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 3.9) The term "Restricted Subsidiary" means (a) so long as they are Subsidiaries of the Company, SunAmerica Life Insurance Company ("SunAmerica Life") and Anchor National Life Insurance Company ("Anchor"); (b) any other present or future Insurance Subsidiary the Consolidated Total Assets (as defined in the Senior Debt Indenture) of which constitute 20% or more of the Consolidated Total Assets of the Company; and (c) any Subsidiary which is a successor, by merger or otherwise, to substantially all of the business or properties of any Insurance Subsidiary referred to or described in the foregoing clauses (a) or (b). The term "Subsidiary" means any corporation or other entity more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock of which is at the time of determination owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company. The term "Insurance Subsidiary" means a Subsidiary registered in the state of its domicile under the insurance laws of such state and qualified to sell insurance products. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 1.1) Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets. Each Indenture provides that the Company shall not consolidate or merge with or into, or transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety to any person unless the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor corporation or person to which such assets are transferred or leased shall be organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume the Company's obligations on the Debt Securities and under such Indenture, and after giving effect to such transaction no Event of Default (as defined in such Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, and certain other conditions are met. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Section 9.1) This covenant would not apply to any recapitalization transaction, a change of control of the Company or a highly leveraged transaction unless such transactions or change of control were structured to include a merger or consolidation or transfer or lease of the Company's assets substantially as an entirety. Except as may be described in a Prospectus Supplement applicable to a particular series of Debt Securities, there are no covenants or other provisions in the Indentures providing for a put or increased interest or that would otherwise afford holders of Debt Securities additional protection in the event of a recapitalization transaction, a change of control of the Company or a highly leveraged transaction. Restrictions on Certain Dispositions. The Senior Debt Indenture provides that as long as any of the Senior Debt Securities remain outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Voting Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, unless (a) the issuance, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition is required to comply with the order of a court or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction, other than an order issued at the request of the Company or of one of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (b) the shares of Voting Stock issued, sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of constitute directors' qualifying shares; (c) all of the Voting Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary then owned by the Company or by its Restricted Subsidiaries is disposed of, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, for a consideration consisting of cash or other property the fair market value of which (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) is at least equal to the Fair Value (as defined below) of such Voting Stock; or (d) after giving effect to the issuance, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would own directly or indirectly at least 80% of the issued and outstanding Voting Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary and such issuance, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition is made for a consideration consisting of cash or other property which is at least equal to the Fair Value of such Voting Stock. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 9.3) The term "Fair Value" when used with respect to any Voting Stock means the fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. (Senior Debt Indenture, Section 1.1) Events of Default An Event of Default is defined under each Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of any series issued under such Indenture as being: (a) default in payment of all or any part of the principal of the Debt Securities of such series when due, either at maturity (or upon any redemption), by declaration or otherwise; (b) default for 30 days in payment of any interest on any Debt Securities of such series; (c) default in payment of any sinking fund installment when due; (d) default for 60 days after written notice as provided in such Indenture in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement in the Debt Securities of such series or such Indenture other than a covenant included in such Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Debt Securities other than such series; (e) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; or (f) an event of default with respect to any other indebtedness for borrowed money (other than non-recourse obligations) of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $10,000,000, if such event of default shall result in the acceleration of such other indebtedness under the terms of the instrument under which such indebtedness is issued or secured, so long as such acceleration is not cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, or such indebtedness is not discharged, within 10 days after written notice thereof as provided in such Indenture; provided that if any such acceleration shall cease or be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Section 5.1) Each Indenture provides that (a) if an Event of Default due to the default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any series of Debt Securities issued under such Indenture or due to the default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or agreement of the Company applicable to the Debt Securities of such series but not applicable to all outstanding Debt Securities issued under such Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each affected series (treated as one class) issued under such Indenture and then outstanding may then declare the principal of all Debt Securities of each such affected series and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately; and (b) if any Event of Default due to a default in the performance of any other of the covenant or agreements in such Indenture applicable to all outstanding Debt Securities issued thereunder and then outstanding or due to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the Company shall have occurred and be continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all Debt Securities issued under such Indenture and then outstanding (treated as one class) may declare the principal of all such Debt Securities and interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be annulled and past defaults may be waived (except a continuing default in payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on such Debt Securities) by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of all such affected series then outstanding. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Sections 5.1 and 5.10) Each Indenture contains a provision entitling the Trustee, subject to the duty of the Trustee during a default to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified by the holders of Debt Securities issued under such Indenture requesting the Trustee to exercise any right or power under such Indenture before proceeding to exercise any such right or power at the request of such holders. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Section 6.2) Subject to such provisions in each Indenture for the indemnification of the Trustee and certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of each affected series (treated as one class) issued under such Indenture may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Section 5.9) Each Indenture provides that no holder of Debt Securities issued under such Indenture may institute any action against the Company under such Indenture (except actions for payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and continuance thereof and unless the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each affected series (treated as one class) issued under such Indenture and then outstanding shall have requested the Trustee to institute such action and shall have offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, the Trustee shall not have instituted such action within 60 days of such request and the Trustee shall not have received direction inconsistent with such written request by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of each affected series (treated as one class) issued under such Indenture and then outstanding. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Sections 5.6 and 5.9) Each Indenture contains a covenant that the Company will file annually with the Trustee a certificate of no default or a certificate specifying any default that exists. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Section 3.5) Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance The Company can discharge or defease its obligations under each Indenture as set forth below. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Section 10.1) Under terms satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company may discharge certain obligations to holders of any series of Debt Securities issued under such Indentures which have not already been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and which have either become due and payable or are by their terms due and payable within one year (or scheduled for redemption within one year) by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee cash or, in the case of Debt Securities payable only in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations (as defined in such Indenture), as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Debt Securities. The Company may also discharge any and all of its obligations to holders of any series of Debt Securities issued under an Indenture at any time ("defeasance"), but may not thereby avoid its duty to register the transfer or exchange of such series of Debt Securities, to replace any temporary, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen series of Debt Securities or to maintain an office or agency in respect of such series of Debt Securities. Under terms satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company may instead be released with respect to any outstanding series of Debt Securities issued under the relevant Indenture from the obligations imposed by certain provisions of such Indenture including Sections 3.9, 9.1 and 9.3, in the case of the Senior Debt Indenture, and Section 9.1, in the case of the Subordinated Debt Indenture (which contain the covenants described above limiting liens, consolidations, mergers, transfers and leases and certain dispositions) and omit to comply with such Sections without creating an Event of Default ("covenant defeasance"). Defeasance or covenant defeasance may be effected only if, among other things: (i) the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash or, in the case of Debt Securities payable only in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay at maturity (or upon redemption) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all outstanding Debt Securities of such series issued under such Indenture; (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such series of Debt Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and that defeasance or covenant defeasance will not otherwise alter such holders' United States federal income tax treatment of principal, premium and interest payments on such series of Debt Securities (in the case of a defeasance, such opinion must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of such Indenture, since such a result would not occur under current tax law); and (iii) in the case of the Subordinated Debt Indenture no event or condition shall exist that, pursuant to certain provisions described under "Subordinated Debt" above, would prevent the Company from making payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities at the date of the irrevocable deposit referred to above. Modification of the Indentures Each Indenture provides that the Company and the Trustee may enter into supplemental indentures without the consent of the holders of Debt Securities to: (a) secure any Debt Securities, (b) evidence the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company, (c) add covenants for the protection of the holders of Debt Securities, (d) cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistency in such Indenture, provided that such cure or correction does not adversely affect the holders of such Debt Securities, (e) establish the forms or terms of Debt Securities of any series and (f) evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Section 8.1) Each Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of all series issued under such Indenture then outstanding and affected (voting as one class), to add any provisions to, or change in any manner or eliminate any of the provisions of, such Indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of the Debt Securities of each series so affected; provided that the Company and the Trustee may not, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debt Security affected thereby, (a) extend the stated maturity of the principal of any Debt Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or change the currency in which the principal thereof (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), premium, if any, or interest thereon is payable or reduce the amount of any original issue Debt Security that is payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy or alter certain provisions of such Indenture relating to the Debt Securities issued thereunder not denominated in U.S. dollars or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any Debt Security when due or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage in principal amount of Debt Securities of any series issued under such Indenture, the consent of the holders of which is required for any such modification. (Senior and Subordinated Debt Indentures, Section 8.2) The Subordinated Debt Indenture may not be amended to alter the subordination of any outstanding Subordinated Debt Securities without the consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby. (Subordinated Debt Indenture, Section 8.6) Concerning the Trustee The First National Bank of Chicago is one of a number of banks with which the Company and its subsidiaries maintain ordinary banking and trust relationships. DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK Under the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and restated and including any Articles Supplementary (the "Articles of Incorporation"), the Company has authority to issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock"), 15,000,000 shares of Nontransferable Class B Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Nontransferable Class B Stock"), 15,000,000 shares of Transferable Class B Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Transferable Class B Stock," and, together with the Nontransferable Class B Stock, the "Class B Stock") and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, without par value ("Preferred Stock").

For further information regarding the Common Stock and Class B Stock, including a description of the rights attached thereto, see "Common Stock and Class B Stock" below. For a description of the series of Preferred Stock of the Company currently outstanding, see "Series B Preferred Shares", "Series C Preferred Shares" and "Series D Preferred Shares" below. For a discussion of certain recent proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and other proposed actions which would serve to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock and Nontransferable Class B Stock and (ii) effect a three-for-two stock split of outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Stock, see "The Company--Recent Developments". The Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Common Stock will describe terms relevant thereto, including the number of shares offered, the initial offering price, market price and dividend information. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe the following terms of any Preferred Stock in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered (to the extent applicable to such Preferred Stock): (i) the specific designation, number of shares, seniority and purchase price; (ii) any liquidation preference per share; (iii) any date of maturity; (iv) any redemption, repayment or sinking fund provisions; (v) any dividend rate or rates and the dates on which any such dividends will be payable (or the method by which such rates or dates will be determined); (vi) any voting rights; (vii) if other than the currency of the United States of America, the currency or currencies including composite currencies in which such Preferred Stock is denominated and/or in which payments will or may be payable; (viii) the method by which amounts in respect of such Preferred Stock may be calculated and any commodities, currencies or indices, or value, rate or price, relevant to such calculation; (ix) whether the Preferred Stock is convertible or exchangeable and, if so, the securities or rights into which such Preferred Stock is convertible or exchangeable (which may include other Preferred Stock, Debt Securities, Common Stock or other securities or rights of the Company (including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies or indices) or securities of other issuers or a combination of the foregoing), and the terms and conditions upon which such conversions or exchanges will be effected including the initial conversion or exchange prices or rates, the conversion or exchange period and any other related provisions; (x) the place or places where dividends and other payments on the Preferred Stock will be payable; and (xi) any additional voting, dividend, liquidation, redemption and other rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions. As described under "Description of Depositary Shares", the Company may, at its option, elect to offer depositary shares ("Depositary Shares") evidenced by depositary receipts ("Depositary Receipts"), each representing an interest (to be specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to the particular series of the Preferred Stock) in a share of the particular series of the Preferred Stock issued and deposited with a Preferred Stock Depositary (as defined herein). All shares of Preferred Stock offered hereby, or issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of Securities, will, when issued, be fully paid and non-assessable. Common Stock and Class B Stock Dividends. Except as provided below, holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock are entitled to receive dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Company, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of assets or funds of the Company legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in all such dividends and other distributions (subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock). If a cash dividend is paid on any of the Common Stock, the Nontransferable Class B Stock or the Transferable Class B Stock, a cash dividend also will be paid on the Common Stock, the Nontransferable Class B Stock and the Transferable Class B Stock, as the case may be. The amount of the cash dividend paid on each share of Class B Stock will be equal to 90% of the amount of the cash dividend paid on each share of Common Stock. In addition if holders of Common Stock receive shares of Common Stock in connection with stock dividends or stock splits, holders of Transferable Class B Stock will receive a proportionate number of shares of Transferable Class B Stock and holders of Nontransferable Class B Stock will receive a proportionate number of shares of Nontransferable Class B Stock. Voting Rights. At every meeting of shareholders, every holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and every holder of Class B is entitled to 10 votes per share. All actions submitted to a vote of shareholders are voted upon by holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock voting together as a single class (subject to any voting rights which may be granted to holders of Preferred Stock) and a majority of the votes cast by such holders is required to approve any such action, except where other provision is made by law. In addition to any vote required by law, the holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock each vote separately as a class (i) on any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to or with any other person or any dissolution of the Company (unless the other party to such merger or other transaction is a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company) and (ii) on any additional issuances of Class B Stock other than in connection with stock splits and stock dividends and exchanges of Nontransferable Class B Stock for Transferable Class B Stock. A majority of votes cast by the Common Stock and Class B Stock, each voting separately as a class, is required to approve any matters described above as to which holders of such shares have a separate class vote, unless, in the case of the events described in clause (i) above, a greater vote is required by law. In addition, to any vote required by law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock and the Nontransferable Class B Stock, each voting separately as a class, is required to approve any amendments to the Articles of Incorporation. Liquidation Rights.

Class B Stock Conversion Rights. Each share of Class B Stock is convertible into one share of Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder. In addition, any transfer of shares of Nontransferable Class B Stock not permitted under the Articles of Incorporation will result in the conversion of such shares into shares of Common Stock. Exchange of Nontransferable Class B Stock. The Nontransferable Class B Stock is exchangeable in whole at the option of the Company at any time for Transferable Class B Stock. Holders of Nontransferable Class B Stock will receive one share of Transferable Class B Stock for each share of Nontransferable Class B Stock held by them at the time of the exchange. Miscellaneous. The holders of Common Stock and Class B Stock have no preemptive rights, cumulative voting rights or subscriptions rights. Except as described above, the Common Stock and Class B Stock have no conversion rights and are not subject to redemption. The transfer agent and registrar with respect to the Common Stock is The Bank of New York. All shares of Common Stock offered hereby, or issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of Securities, will, when issued, be fully paid and non-assessable.

Series B Preferred Shares Dividends. Subject to the rights of holders of other classes of stock ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series B Preferred Shares which may from time to time be issued by the Company, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the Series B Preferred Shares, out of assets legally available for dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends from the issue date of the Series B Preferred Shares (June 29, 1992), accruing at the rate per Series B Preferred Share of $2.3125 per annum or $.5781 per quarter, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each March, June, September and December or, if any such date is not a business day, on the next succeeding business day. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Shares accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether nor not such dividends are declared and will accumulate to the extent they are not paid on the dividend payment date for the quarter for which they accrue. Accumulated unpaid dividends do not bear interest. Liquidation Rights. Subject to the rights of holders of other classes of stock ranking on a parity with or senior to Series B Preferred Shares, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the business of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (any such event, a "Liquidation"), the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company, will be entitled to receive for each Series B Preferred Share, an amount equal to the sum of $25 and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and no more. If, upon any Liquidation, there are insufficient assets to permit full payment of holders of Series B Preferred Shares and shares of any other class of outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares and such other shares shall be paid ratably in proportion to the full distributable amounts to which holders of Series B Preferred Shares and such other shares are respectively entitled upon Liquidation. Redemption. The Series B Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to June 15, 1997. On and after such date, the Series B Preferred Shares are redeemable in cash at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, from time to time, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption. The Series B Preferred Shares are not entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund. Voting Rights. The Series B Preferred Shares do not entitle holders thereof to voting rights, except (i) the Company may not alter any of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or the Articles Supplementary relating to the Series B Preferred Shares which would materially and adversely affect any right, preference or privilege of the Series B Preferred Shares without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two thirds of the Series B Preferred Shares outstanding at the time (voting separately as a class); provided, however, that any such alteration that would authorize, create or issue additional shares of Preferred Stock or any other shares of stock (whether or not already authorized) ranking senior to, on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Shares as to dividends or on the distribution of assets upon Liquidation shall be deemed not to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences or privileges, (ii) in the event dividends payable on the Series B Preferred Shares shall be in arrears in an aggregate amount equivalent to six full quarterly dividends (a "Series B Preferred Share Dividend Default"), or (iii) as required by law. In the event of a Series B Preferred Share Dividend Default, the holders of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares will be entitled to elect together with holders of all other outstanding classes of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Shares and entitled to participate in such election, voting as a single class, two directors at a special meeting called by the Board of Directors for such purpose. Such two directors shall serve until the full dividends accumulated on all outstanding Series B Preferred Shares and all other outstanding classes of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Shares are paid. Series C Preferred Shares Dividends. Subject to the rights of holders of other classes of stock ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series C Preferred which may from time to time be issued by the Company, the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the Series C Preferred Shares, out of assets legally available for dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends accruing at an adjustable rate, payable quarterly in arrears on the 1st day of March, June, September or December of each year or, if such day is not a business day, on the next preceding business day, equal for each quarterly dividend period to .50% less than the highest of the "Three-Month Treasury Bill Rate," the "Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate" or the "Twenty Year Constant Maturity Rate" determined in advance of such dividend period. However, the rate may not be less than 7.00% per annum nor greater than 13.50% per annum. The current rate is 7.00%. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are declared and will accumulate to the extent they are not paid on the dividend payment date for the quarter for which they accrue. Accumulated unpaid dividends do not bear interest. Liquidation Rights. Subject to the rights of holders of other classes of stock ranking on a parity with or senior to Series C Preferred Shares, in the event of any Liquidation, the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company, will be entitled to receive for each Series C Preferred Share, an amount equal to the sum of $100 and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and no more. If, upon any Liquidation, there are insufficient assets to permit full payment of holders of Series C Preferred Shares and shares of any other class of outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of Series C Preferred Shares and such other shares shall be paid ratably in proportion to the full distributable amounts to which holders of Series C Preferred Shares and such other shares are respectively entitled upon Liquidation. Redemption. The Series C Preferred Shares are redeemable at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $103 per share prior to March 1, 1996 and, thereafter, at $100 per share, plus in each case accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. The Series C Preferred Shares are not entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund. Voting Rights. Each Series C Preferred Share is entitled to one-tenth of one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Company's Common Stock, voting as a single class with holders of Common Stock and with holders of any other class or series having the right to vote with the holders of Common Stock. In addition, if, on the date used to determine shareholders of record for any meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected, dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares or any other series of preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Shares as to dividends are in arrears in an amount equal to at least six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive), holders of Series C Preferred Shares (separately as a class with other holders of affected Preferred Stock) are entitled to vote for and elect two directors of the Company. Each holder of Series C Preferred Shares has one vote for each share held in such circumstance. Without the consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class with all other affected series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity either as to dividends or upon liquidation with the Series C Preferred Shares, the Company shall not authorize, create or issue, or increase the authorized amount of, any class or series of stock ranking prior to the Series C Preferred Shares as to dividends or upon liquidation (or any securities convertible into any such stock). The affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a least two-thirds of the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class with all other affected series of Preferred Stock, will be required for any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger or consolidation or otherwise, of the Company's Articles or any articles supplemental thereto if the amendment, alteration or repeal adversely affects the preferences, rights, powers or privileges of the Series C Preferred Shares and any other Preferred Stock; provided, however, that in any case in which one or more, but not all, series of such class would be adversely affected as to the preferences, rights, powers or privileges thereof, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of shares of any series that would be adversely affected, voting as a class, shall be required in lieu thereof; excluding, however, an increase or decrease (but not to less than the then outstanding Series C Preferred Shares) in the aggregate number of authorized Series C Preferred Shares. Series D Preferred Shares Dividends. Subject to the rights of holders of other classes of stock ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series D Preferred Shares which may from time to time be issued by the Company, the holders of Series D Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if the Board of Directors declares a dividend on the Series D Preferred Shares, out of assets legally available for dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends from the date of issue of the Series D Preferred Shares (March 3, 1993), accruing at the rate per Series D Preferred Share of $139 per annum or $34.75 per quarter (equivalent to $2.78 per annum or $.695 per quarter for each Series D Depositary Share), payable quarterly in arrears. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Shares accrue whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are declared and will accumulate to the extent they are not paid on the dividend payment date for the quarter for which they accrue. Accumulated unpaid dividends will not bear interest. Mandatory Conversion of Series D Preferred Shares. On March 1, 1996 (the "Series D Mandatory Conversion Date"), each outstanding Series D Preferred Share will convert automatically into shares of Common Stock at the Series D Common Stock Equivalent Rate (as described below) in effect on the Series D Mandatory Conversion Date and the right to receive an amount in cash equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series D Preferred Share to and including the Series D Mandatory Conversion Date (the "Series D Mandatory Conversion"), subject to the rights of the Company to call Series D Preferred Shares prior to Series D Mandatory Conversion. The Series D Common Equivalent Rate is currently fifty shares of Common Stock for each Series D Preferred Share (equivalent to one share of Common Stock for each Series D Depositary Share), subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, distribution of assets or certain other events. Immediately prior to the effectiveness of a Merger or Consolidation, each outstanding Series D Preferred Share will convert automatically into (i) shares of Common Stock at the Series D Common Equivalent Rate in effect on the effective date of the Merger or Consolidation, plus (ii) the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series D Preferred Share to and including the effective date, plus (iii) the right to receive an amount in cash initially equal to $375 (equivalent to $7.50 for each Series D Depositary Share), declining by $.350150 (equivalent to $.007003 for each Series D Depositary Share) on each day following the date of issue of the Series D Preferred Shares (March 3, 1993) to $21 (equivalent to $.42 for each Series D Depositary Share) on January 1, 1996, and equal to zero thereafter, determined with reference to the effective date, unless sooner redeemed. At the option of the Company, it may deliver on the effective date, in lieu of some or all of the cash consideration described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, shares of Common Stock. Series D Preferred Shares are not convertible into Common Stock at the option of the holders thereof. Right to Call Series D Preferred Shares. Except as provided below, at any time or from time to time prior to the Series D Mandatory Conversation Date, the Company has the right to call the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares for redemption, in whole or in part, and to deliver to the holders thereof in exchange for each such Series D Preferred Share a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Series D Call Price (as described below) on the redemption date divided by the current market price (as defined) of the Common Stock on the second trading day preceding the earlier of the commencement of the mailing of notice of such redemption to holders of the Series D Preferred Shares or the date such notice is published in accordance with the terms of the Series D Preferred Shares (the "Series D Notice Date") plus an amount in cash equal to accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the date of redemption. The Series D Call Price of each Series D Preferred Share declines by $.350150 (equivalent to $7.50 for each Series D Depositary Share) on each day following the date of original issue of the Series D Preferred Shares (March 3, 1993) from $2,872.50 (equivalent to $57.45 for each Series D Depositary Share) to $2,518.50 (equivalent to $50.37 for each Series D Depositary Share) on January 1, 1996, and will be $2,497.50 (equivalent to $49.95 for each Series D Depositary Share) thereafter. Liquidation Rights. Subject to the rights of holders of other classes of stock ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series D Preferred Shares, in the event of any Liquidation, the holders of Series D Preferred Shares, after payment or provisions for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company, will be entitled to receive, for each Series D Preferred Share, an amount equal to the sum of (i) $1,850 (equivalent to $37.00 for each Series D Depositary Share) and (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, and no more. If, upon any such liquidation, there are insufficient assets to permit full payment to holders of Series D Preferred Shares and shares of any class of outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of Series D Preferred Shares and such other shares shall be paid ratably in proportion to the full distributable amounts to which holders of Series D Preferred Shares and such other shares are respectively entitled. The Series D Preferred Shares are not entitled to the benefits of any sinking fund. Voting Rights. The Series D Preferred Shares do not entitle holders thereof to voting rights, except (i) the Company may not alter any of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or the Articles Supplementary relating to the Series D Preferred Shares which would materially and adversely affect any right, preference or privilege of the Series D Preferred Shares without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Series D Preferred Shares outstanding at the time (voting separately as a class); provided, however, that any such alteration that would authorize, create or issue any additional shares of Preferred Stock or any other shares of stock (whether or not already authorized) ranking senior to, on a parity with or junior to the Series D Preferred Shares as to dividends or on the distribution of assets upon Liquidation shall be deemed not to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences or privileges, (ii) in the event dividends payable on the Series D Preferred Shares shall be in arrears in an aggregate amount equivalent to six full quarterly dividends (a "Series D Preferred Share Dividend Default"), or (iii) as required by law. In the event of a Series D Preferred Share Dividend Default, the holders of all other outstanding classes of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with Series D Preferred Shares and entitled to participate in such election, voting as a single class, two directors at a special meeting called by the Board of Directors for such purpose. Such two directors shall serve until the full dividends accumulated on all outstanding Series D Preferred Shares and all other outstanding classes of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Series D Preferred Shares are paid. DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES The description set forth below and in any Prospectus Supplement of certain provisions of the Deposit Agreement (as defined below) and of the Depositary Shares and Depositary Receipts summarizes the material terms of the Deposit Agreement and of the Depositary Shares and Depositary Receipts, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the form of Deposit Agreement and form of Depositary Receipts relating to each series of the Preferred Stock. General The Company may, at its option, elect to have shares of Preferred Stock be represented by Depositary Shares. The shares of any series of the Preferred Stock underlying the Depositary Shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement (the "Deposit Agreement") between the Company and a bank or trust company selected by the Company (the "Preferred Stock Depositary"). The Prospectus Supplement relating to a series of Depositary Shares will set forth the name and address of the Preferred Stock Depositary. Subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement, each owner of a Depositary Share will be entitled, proportionately, to all the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock represented thereby (including dividend, voting, redemption, conversion, exchange and liquidation rights). The Depositary Shares will be evidenced by Depositary Receipts issued pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, each of which will represent the applicable interest in a number of shares of a particular series of the Preferred Stock described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement, a holder of Depositary Shares is not entitled to receive the shares of Preferred Stock (but only in whole shares of Preferred Stock) underlying such Depositary Shares. If the Depositary Receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the whole number of shares of Preferred Stock to be withdrawn, the Depositary will deliver to such holder a the same time a new Depositary Receipt evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares. Dividends and Other Distributions The Preferred Stock Depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions in respect of the Preferred Stock to the record holders of Depositary Receipts in proportion, insofar as possible, to the number of Depositary Shares owned by such holders. In the event of a distribution other than in cash in respect to the Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock Depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of Depositary Receipts in proportion, insofar as possible, to the number of Depositary Shares owned by such holders, unless the Preferred Stock Depositary determines that it is not feasible to make such distribution, in which case the Preferred Stock Depositary may, with the approval of the Company, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including sale (at public or private sale) of such property and distribution of the net proceeds from such sale to such holders. The amount so distributed in any of the foregoing cases will be reduced by any amount required to be withheld by the Company or the Preferred Stock Depositary on account of taxes. Conversion and Exchange If any Preferred Stock underlying the Depositary Shares is subject to provisions relating to its conversion or exchange as set forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, each record holder of Depositary Shares will have the right or obligation to convert or exchange such Depositary Shares pursuant to the terms thereof. Redemption of Depositary Shares If Preferred Stock underlying the Depositary Shares is subject to redemption, the Depositary Shares will be redeemed from the proceeds received by the Preferred Stock Depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of the Preferred Stock held by the Preferred Stock Depositary. The redemption price per Depositary Share will be equal to the aggregate redemption price payable with respect to the number of shares of Preferred Stock underlying the Depositary Shares. Whenever the Company redeems Preferred Stock from the Preferred Stock Depositary, the Preferred Stock Depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date a proportionate number of Depositary Shares representing the shares of Preferred Stock that were redeemed. If less than all the Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the Company. After the date fixed for redemption, the Depositary Shares so called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of the Depositary Shares will cease, except the right to receive the redemption price upon such redemption. Any funds deposited by the Company with the Preferred Stock Depositary for any Depositary Shares which the holders thereof fail to redeem shall be returned to the Company after a period of two years from the date such funds are so deposited. Voting Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of any shares of Preferred Stock underlying the Depositary Shares are entitled to vote, the Preferred Stock Depositary will mail the information contained in such notice to the record holders of the Depositary Receipts. Each record holder of such Depositary Receipts on the record date (which will be the same date as the record date for the Preferred Stock) will be entitled to instruct the Preferred Stock Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the number of shares of Preferred Stock underlying such holder's Depositary Shares. The Preferred Stock Depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote the number of shares of Preferred Stock underlying such Depositary Shares in accordance with such instructions, and the Company will agree to take all reasonable action which may be deemed necessary by the Preferred Stock Depositary in order to enable the Preferred Stock Depositary to do so. The Preferred Stock Depositary will abstain from voting the Preferred Stock to the extent it does not receive specific written instructions from holders of Depositary Receipts representing such Preferred Stock. Record Date Whenever (i) any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable, any distribution other than cash shall be made, or any rights, preferences or privileges shall be offered with respect to the Preferred Stock, or (ii) the Preferred Stock Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to notice, or of the mandatory conversion of or any election on the part of the Company to call for the redemption of any Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stock Depositary shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same as the record date for the Preferred Stock) for the determination of the holders of Depositary Receipts (x) who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof or (y) who shall be entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or to receive notice of such meeting or of such redemption or conversion, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement The form of Depositary Receipt and any provision of the Deposit Agreement may at any time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Preferred Stock Depositary. However, any amendment which imposes or increases any fees, taxes or other charges payable by the holders of Depositary Receipts (other than taxes and other governmental charges, fees and other expenses payable by such holders as stated under "Charges of Preferred Stock Depositary"), or which otherwise prejudices any substantial existing right of holders of Depositary Receipts, will not take effect as to outstanding Depositary Receipts until the expiration of 90 days after notice of such amendment has been mailed to the record holders of outstanding Depositary Receipts. Whenever so directed by the Company, the Preferred Stock Depositary will terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the record holders of all Depositary Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination. The Preferred Stock Depositary may likewise terminate the Deposit Agreement if at any time 45 days shall have expired after the Preferred Stock Depositary shall have delivered to the Company a written notice of it election to resign and a successor depositary shall not have been appointed and accepted its appointment. If any Depositary Receipts remain outstanding after the date of termination, the Preferred Stock Depositary thereafter will discontinue the transfer of Depositary Receipts, will suspend the distribution of dividends to the holders thereof, and will not give any further notices (other than notice of such termination) or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement except as provided below and except that the Preferred Stock Depositary will continue (i) to collect dividends on the Preferred Stock and any other distributions with respect thereto and (ii) to deliver the Preferred Stock together with such dividends and distributions and the net proceeds of any sales of rights, preferences, privileges or other property, without liability for interest thereon, in exchange for Depositary Receipts surrendered. At any time after the expiration of two years from the date of termination, the Preferred Stock Depositary may sell the Preferred Stock then held by it at public or private sales, at such place or places and upon such terms as it deems proper and may thereafter hold the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any money and other property then held by it, without liability for interest thereon, for the pro rata benefit of the holders of Depositary Receipts which have not been surrendered. Charges of Preferred Stock Depositary The Company will pay all charges of the Preferred Stock Depositary including charges in connection with the initial deposit of the Preferred Stock, the initial issuance of the Depositary Receipts, the distribution of information to the holders of Depositary Receipts with respect to matters on which Preferred Stock is entitled to vote, withdrawals of the Preferred Stock by the holders of Depositary Receipts or redemption or conversion of the Preferred Stock, except for taxes (including transfer taxes, if any) and other governmental charges and such other charges as are expressly provided in the Deposit Agreement to be at the expense of holders of Depositary Receipts or persons depositing Preferred Stock. Miscellaneous The Preferred Stock Depositary will make available for inspection by holders of Depositary Receipts at its Corporate Office and its New York Office, all reports and communications from the Company which are delivered to the Preferred Stock Depositary as the holder of Preferred Stock. Neither the Preferred Stock Depositary nor the Company will be liable if it is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond its control in performing its obligations under the Deposit Agreement. The obligations of the Preferred Stock Depositary under the Deposit Agreement are limited to performing its duties thereunder without negligence or bad faith. The obligations of the Company under the Deposit Agreement are limited to performing its duties thereunder in good faith. Neither the Company nor the Preferred Stock Depositary is obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any Depositary Shares or Preferred Stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. The Company and the Preferred Stock Depositary are entitled to rely upon advice of or information from counsel, accountants or other persons believed to be competent and on documents believed to be genuine. The Preferred Stock Depositary may resign at any time or be removed by the Company, effective upon the acceptance by its successor of its appointment; provided, that if a successor Preferred Stock Depositary has not been appointed or accepted such appointment within 45 days after the Preferred Stock Depositary has delivered a notice of election to resign to the Company, the Preferred Stock Depositary may terminate the Deposit Agreement. See "Amendment and Termination of Deposit Agreement" above.

THE COMPANY The Company is a diversified financial services company specializing in retirement savings products and services. At June 30, 1995, the Company held $27 billion of assets throughout its businesses, including $16.20 billion of assets on its balance sheet, $2.08 billion of assets managed in mutual funds and private accounts and $8.76 billion under custody in retirement trust accounts. Together, the Company's life insurance companies rank among the largest U.S. issuers of annuities. Complementing these annuity operations are the Company's asset management operations; its two broker-dealers, which the Company believes, based on industry data, represent the largest network of independent registered representatives in the nation; and its trust company, which provides administrative and custodial services to qualified retirement plans. Through these subsidiaries, the Company specializes in the sale of tax-deferred long-term savings products and investments to the expanding preretirement savings market. The Company markets fixed annuities and fee-generating variable annuities, mutual funds and trust services, as well as guaranteed investment contracts. The Company's products are distributed through a broad spectrum of financial services distribution channels, including independent registered representatives of the Company's broker-dealer subsidiaries and unaffiliated broker-dealers, independent general insurance agents and financial institutions. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1 SunAmerica Center, Los Angeles, California 90067-6022, telephone number (310) 772-6000. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On September 20, 1995, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Anchor National Life Insurance Company, had signed a definitive agreement to acquire CalFarm Life Insurance Company ("CalFarm Life") from its parent, Zenith National Insurance Corp., for approximately $120 million in cash. Completion of the acquisition, expected by year-end 1995, is subject to receipt of normal regulatory approvals and other customary terms and conditions. CalFarm Life is headquartered in Sacramento, California and currently markets a range of life and health insurance and annuity products, specializing in the qualified 403(b) market for teachers and other non-profit organizations. At June 30, 1995, CalFarm Life had approximately $739 million in annuity and life reserves, and approximately $2.8 billion of life insurance in force. Under terms of the agreement, Zenith National will retain the company's health insurance business. On September 11, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved for submission to shareholder vote an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized capital from (i) 50,000,000 to 175,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 15,000,000 to 25,000,000 shares of Class B Stock. The Company has scheduled a special shareholders' meeting on October 30, 1995 (for shareholders of record as of September 21, 1995) for consideration of the proposed increase in authorized capital stock. On September 11, 1995, the Board of Directors also approved a three-for-two stock split, to be effected in the form of a stock dividend, of its outstanding Common Stock and Class B Stock, contingent upon shareholder approval of the proposed increase in authorized capital stock. THE SUNAMERICA TRUSTS Each of SunAmerica Capital Trust II, SunAmerica Capital Trust III and SunAmerica Capital Trust IV is a statutory business trust formed on September 6, 1995 under the Delaware Business Trust Act (the "Business Trust Act") pursuant to a separate declaration of trust among the Trustees (as defined herein) of such SunAmerica Trust and the Company and the filing of a certificate of trust with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Such declaration will be amended and restated in its entirety (as so amended and restated, the "Declaration") substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, as of the date the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust are initially issued. Each Declaration is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). Upon issuance of any Preferred Securities by a SunAmerica Trust, the holders thereof will own all of the issued and outstanding Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust. The Company will acquire securities representing common undivided beneficial interests in the assets of each SunAmerica Trust (the "Common Securities" and, together with the Preferred Securities, the "Trust Securities") in an amount equal to at least 3% of the total capital of such SunAmerica Trust and will own, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding Common Securities of each SunAmerica Trust. The Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will rank pari passu with each other and will have equivalent terms; provided that (i) if a Declaration Event of Default (as defined herein) under the Declaration of a SunAmerica Trust occurs and is continuing, the holders of Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust will have a priority over holders of the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Trust with respect to payments in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and maturity and (ii) holders of Common Securities have the exclusive right (subject to the terms of the Declaration) to appoint, remove or replace the Trustees and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint one additional Regular Trustee (as defined below) of such SunAmerica Capital Trust (a "Special Regular Trustee") in certain limited circumstances set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. Each SunAmerica Trust exists for the purpose of (a) issuing its Preferred Securities, (b) issuing its Common Securities to the Company, (c) investing the gross proceeds from the sale of the Trust Securities in Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of the Company and (d) engaging in such other activities as are necessary or incidental thereto. The rights of the holders of the Preferred Securities, including economic rights, rights to information and voting rights, are set forth in the applicable Declaration, the Business Trust Act and the Trust Indenture Act. The number of trustees (the "Trustees") of each SunAmerica Trust shall initially be five. Three of such Trustees (the "Regular Trustees") are individuals who are employees or officers of the Company. The fourth such trustee will be The Bank of New York, which is unaffiliated with the Company and which will serve as the property trustee (the "Property Trustee") and act as the indenture trustee for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act. The fifth such trustee is an affiliate of The Bank of New York that has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Trustee"). Pursuant to each Declaration, legal title to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities purchased by a SunAmerica Trust will be held by the Property Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Trust Securities of such SunAmerica Trust and the Property Trustee will have the power to exercise all rights, powers and privileges under the Indenture (as defined under "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities") with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. In addition, the Property Trustee will maintain exclusive control of a segregated non-interest bearing bank account (the "Property Account") to hold all payments in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities purchased by a SunAmerica Trust for the benefit of the holders of Trust Securities. The Property Trustee will promptly make distributions to the holders of the Trust Securities out of funds from the Property Account. The Preferred Securities Guarantees are separately qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and will be held by The Bank of New York, acting in its capacity as indenture trustee with respect thereto, for the benefit of the holders of the applicable Preferred Securities. As used in this Prospectus and any accompanying Prospectus Supplement, the term "Property Trustee" with respect to a SunAmerica Trust refers to The Bank of New York acting either in its capacity as a Trustee under the Declaration and the holder of legal title to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities purchased by that Trust or in its capacity as indenture trustee under, and the holder of, the applicable Preferred Securities Guarantee, as the context may require. Subject to the right of holders of Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee as described above, the Company as the direct or indirect owner of all of the Common Securities of each SunAmerica Trust, will have the exclusive right (subject to the terms of the related Declaration) to appoint, remove or replace Trustees and to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, provided that the number of Trustees shall be at least three, a majority of which shall be Regular Trustees. A Special Regular Trustee need not be an employee or officer of, or otherwise affiliated with, the Company. The term of a SunAmerica Trust will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, but may terminate earlier as provided in such Declaration. The duties and obligations of the Trustees of a SunAmerica Trust shall be governed by the Declaration of such SunAmerica Trust. Under its Declaration, each SunAmerica Trust shall not, and the Trustees shall cause such SunAmerica Trust not to, engage in any activity other than in connection with the purposes of such SunAmerica Trust or other than as required or authorized by the related Declaration. In particular, each SunAmerica Trust shall not and the Trustees shall not (a) invest any proceeds received by such SunAmerica Trust from holding the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities purchased by such SunAmerica Trust but shall promptly distribute from the Property Account all such proceeds to holders of Trust Securities pursuant to the terms of the related Declaration and of the Trust Securities; (b) acquire any assets other than as expressly provided in the related Declaration; (c) possess Trust property for other than a Trust purpose; (d) make any loans, other than loans represented by the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities; (e) possess any power or otherwise act in such a way as to vary the assets of such SunAmerica Trust or the terms of its Trust Securities in any way whatsoever; (f) issue any securities or other evidences of beneficial ownership of, or beneficial interests in, such SunAmerica Trust other than its Trust Securities; (g) incur any indebtedness for borrowed money or (h)(i) direct the time, method and place of exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Indenture Trustee (as defined under "Description of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities") with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in that SunAmerica Trust as trust assets or upon the Property Trustee of that SunAmerica Trust with respect to its Preferred Securities, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under the Indenture or the Declaration, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul any declaration that the principal of all of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in that SunAmerica Trust as trust assets shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or the Declaration, in each case where such consent shall be required, unless in the case of this clause (h) the Property Trustee shall have received an unqualified opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel recognized as expert in such matters to the effect that such action will not cause such SunAmerica Trust to be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership and that such SunAmerica Trust will continue to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. The books and records of each SunAmerica Trust will be maintained at the principal office of such SunAmerica Trust and will be open for inspection by a holder of Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust or his representative for any purpose reasonably related to its interest in such SunAmerica Trust during normal business hours. Each holder of Preferred Securities will be furnished annually with unaudited financial statements of the applicable SunAmerica Trust as soon as available after the end of such SunAmerica Trust's fiscal year. Except as provided below or under the Business Trust Act and the Trust Indenture Act, holders of Preferred Securities will have no voting rights. In certain circumstances set forth in a Prospectus Supplement, holders of Preferred Securities of a SunAmerica Trust shall have the right to vote, as a single class, for the appointment of a Special Regular Trustee who need not be an employee or officer of or otherwise affiliated with the Company. The Special Regular Trustee shall have the same rights, powers and privileges under the Declaration as the Regular Trustees. The Property Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Trust Securities of a SunAmerica Trust, is authorized under each Declaration to exercise all rights under the Indenture with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in such SunAmerica Trust as trust assets, including its rights as the holder of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to enforce the Company's obligations under such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities upon the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default. The Property Trustee shall also be authorized to enforce the rights of holders of Preferred Securities of a SunAmerica Trust under the Preferred Securities Guarantee. If any SunAmerica Trust's failure to make distributions on the Preferred Securities of a SunAmerica Trust is a consequence of the Company's exercise of any right under the terms of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in such SunAmerica Trust as trust assets to extend the interest payment period for such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, the Property Trustee will have no right to enforce the payment of distributions on such Preferred Securities until a Declaration Event of Default shall have occurred. Holders of a least a majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities held by a SunAmerica Trust will have the right to direct the Property Trustee for that SunAmerica Trust with respect to certain matters under the Declaration for that SunAmerica Trust and the related Preferred Securities Guarantee. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Indenture or fails to enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee, any holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, institute a legal proceeding against the Company to enforce such rights or the Preferred Securities Guarantee, as the case may be. Pursuant to each Declaration, distributions on the Preferred Securities of a SunAmerica Trust must be paid on the dates payable to the extent that the Property Trustee for that SunAmerica Trust has cash on hand in the applicable Property Account to permit such payment. The funds available for distribution to the holders of the Preferred Securities of a SunAmerica Trust will be limited to payments received by the Property Trustee in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities that are deposited in the SunAmerica Trust as trust assets. If the Company does not make interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in a SunAmerica Trust as trust assets, the Property Trustee will not make distributions on the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust. Under the Declaration, if and to the extent the Company does make interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in a SunAmerica Trust as trust assets, the Property Trustee is obligated to make distributions on the Trust Securities of such SunAmerica Trust on a Pro Rata Basis (as defined below). The payment of distributions on the Preferred Securities of a SunAmerica Trust is guaranteed by SunAmerica on a subordinated basis as and to the extent set forth under "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantee". A Preferred Securities Guarantee is a full and unconditional guarantee from the time of issuance of the applicable Preferred Securities but the Preferred Securities Guarantee covers distributions and other payments on the applicable Preferred Securities only if and to the extent that the Company has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in the SunAmerica Trust as trust assets. As used in this Prospectus, the term "Pro Rata Basis" shall mean pro rata to each holder of Trust Securities of a SunAmerica Trust according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Trust Securities of such SunAmerica Trust held by the relevant holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Trust Securities of such SunAmerica Trust outstanding unless, in relation to a payment, a Declaration Event of Default under the Declaration has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each holder of the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities held by the relevant holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the holders of such Preferred Securities, to each holder of Common Securities of such SunAmerica Trust pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of such Common Securities held by the relevant holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities of such SunAmerica Trust outstanding. If an Indenture Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in a SunAmerica Trust as trust assets, an Event of Default under the Declaration (a "Declaration Event of Default") of such SunAmerica Trust will occur and be continuing with respect to any outstanding Trust Securities of such SunAmerica Trust. In such event, each Declaration provides that the holders of Common Securities of such SunAmerica Trust will be deemed to have waived any such Declaration Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities until all Declaration Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust have been cured or waived. Until all such Declaration Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust have been so cured or waived, the Property Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the holders of the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust and only the holders of such Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee with respect to certain matters under such Declaration and consequently under the Indenture. In the event that any Declaration Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust is waived by the holders of the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust as provided in the Declaration, the holders of Common Securities pursuant to such Declaration have agreed that such waiver also constitutes a waiver of such Declaration Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities for all purposes under the Declaration without any further act, vote or consent of the holders of the Common Securities. Each Declaration provides that the Trustees of such SunAmerica Trust may treat the person in whose name a Certificate representing its Preferred Securities is registered on the books and records of such SunAmerica Trust as the sole holder thereof and of the Preferred Securities represented thereby for purposes of receiving distributions and for all other purposes and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such certificate or in the Preferred Securities represented thereby on the part of any person, whether or not such SunAmerica Trust shall have actual or other notice thereof. Preferred Securities will be issued in fully registered form. Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, Preferred Securities will be represented by a global certificate registered on the books and records of such SunAmerica Trust in the name of a depositary (the "Depositary") named in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement or its nominee. Under each Declaration: (i) such SunAmerica Trust and the Trustees thereof shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary (or any successor depositary) for all purposes, including the payment of distributions and receiving approvals, votes or consents under the related Declaration, and except as set forth in the related Declaration with respect to the Property Trustee, shall have no obligation to persons owning a beneficial interest in Preferred Securities ("Preferred Security Beneficial Owners") registered in the name of and held by the Depositary or its nominee; and (ii) the rights of Preferred Security Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Depositary (or any successor depositary) and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Preferred Security Beneficial Owners and the Depositary and/or its participants. With respect to Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held by the Depositary or its nominee, all notices and other communications required under each Declaration shall be given to, and all distributions on such Preferred Securities shall be given or made to, the Depositary (or its successor). The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to the Preferred Securities will be disclosed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. In each Declaration, the Company has agreed to pay for all debts and obligations (other than with respect to the Trust Securities) and all costs and expenses of the applicable SunAmerica Trust, including the fees and expenses of its Trustees and any taxes and all costs and expenses with respect thereto, to which such SunAmerica Trust may become subject, except for United States withholding taxes. The foregoing obligations of the Company under each Declaration are for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, any person to whom any such debts, obligations, costs, expenses and taxes are owed (a "Creditor") whether or not such Creditor has received notice thereof. Any such Creditor may enforce such obligations of the Company directly against the Company and the Company has irrevocably waived any right or remedy to require that any such Creditor take any action against any SunAmerica Trust or any other person before proceeding against the Company. The Company has agreed in each Declaration to execute such additional agreements as may be necessary or desirable in order to give full effect to the foregoing. The foregoing description summarizes the material terms of the Declarations and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Declaration which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part. The business address of each SunAmerica Trust is c/o SunAmerica Inc., 1 SunAmerica Center, Los Angeles, California 90067-6022, telephone number (310) 772-6000. USE OF PROCEEDS Each SunAmerica Trust will use all proceeds received from the sale of its Trust Securities to purchase Junior Subordinated Debt Securities from the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED SECURITIES Each SunAmerica Trust may issue, from time to time, only one series of Preferred Securities having terms described in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. The Declaration of each SunAmerica Trust authorizes the Regular Trustees of such SunAmerica Trust to issue on behalf of such SunAmerica Trust one series of Preferred Securities. Each Declaration will be qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. The Preferred Securities will have such terms, including distributions, redemption, voting, liquidation rights and such other preferred, deferred or other special rights or such restrictions as shall be set forth in the related Declaration or made part of such Declaration by the Trust Indenture Act. Reference is made to any Prospectus Supplement relating to the Preferred Securities of a SunAmerica Trust for specific terms, including (i) the specific designation of such Preferred Securities, (ii) the number of Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust, (iii) the annual distribution rate (or method of calculation thereof) for Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust, the date or dates upon which such distributions shall be payable and the record date or dates for the payment of such distributions, (iv) whether distributions on Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust shall be cumulative, and, in the case of Preferred Securities having such cumulative distribution rights, the date or dates or method of determining the date or dates from which distributions on Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust shall be cumulative, (v) the amount or amounts which shall be paid out of the assets of such SunAmerica Trust to the holders of Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination of such SunAmerica Trust, (vi) the obligation or right, if any, of such SunAmerica Trust to purchase or redeem Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust and the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust shall or may be purchased or redeemed, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation or right, (vii) the voting rights, if any, of Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust in addition to those required by law, including the number of votes per Preferred Security and any requirement for the approval by the holders of Preferred Securities, or of Preferred Securities issued by one or more SunAmerica Trusts, or of both, as a condition to specified actions or amendments to the Declaration of such SunAmerica Trust, (viii) terms for any conversion or exchange into other securities and (ix) any other relevant rights, preferences, privileges, limitations or restrictions of Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust consistent with the Declaration of such SunAmerica Trust or with applicable law. All Preferred Securities offered hereby will be guaranteed by the Company as and to the extent set forth below under "Description of the Preferred Securities Guarantees." Certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to any offering of Preferred Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. In connection with the issuance of Preferred Securities, each SunAmerica Trust will issue one series of Common Securities. The Declaration of each SunAmerica Trust authorizes the Regular Trustees of such trust to issue on behalf of such SunAmerica Trust one series of Common Securities having such terms including distributions, redemption, voting, liquidation rights or such restrictions as shall be set forth therein. The terms of the Common Securities issued by a SunAmerica Trust will be substantially identical to the terms of the Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust and the Common Securities will rank pari passu, and payments will be made thereon on a Pro Rata Basis with the Preferred Securities except that if a Declaration Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the rights of the holders of such Common Securities to payment in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and maturity will be subordinated to the rights of the holders of such Preferred Securities. Except in certain limited circumstances, the Common Securities issued by a SunAmerica Trust will also carry the right to vote and to appoint, remove or replace any of the Trustees of that SunAmerica Trust. All of the Common Securities of a SunAmerica Trust will be directly or indirectly owned by the Company. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED SECURITIES GUARANTEES Set forth below is a summary of information concerning the Preferred Securities Guarantees that will be executed and delivered by the Company for the benefit of the holders from time to time of Preferred Securities. Each Preferred Security Guarantee will be separately qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and will be held by the Bank of New York, acting in its capacity as indenture trustee with respect thereto, for the benefit of holders of the Preferred Securities of the applicable SunAmerica Trust. The terms of each Preferred Securities Guarantee will be those set forth in such Preferred Securities Guarantee and those made part of such Guarantee by the Trust Indenture Act. This description summarizes the material terms of the Preferred Securities Guarantees and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the form of Preferred Securities Guarantee, which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, and the Trust Indenture Act. General Pursuant to each Preferred Securities Guarantee, the Company will irrevocably and unconditionally agree, to the extent set forth therein, to pay in full, to the holders of the Preferred Securities issued by a SunAmerica Trust, the Guarantee Payments (as defined herein) (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by such SunAmerica Trust), to the extent not paid by such SunAmerica Trust, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim that such SunAmerica Trust may have or assert. The following payments or distributions with respect to Preferred Securities issued by a SunAmerica Trust to the extent not paid or made by such SunAmerica Trust (the "Guarantee Payments"), will be subject to the Preferred Securities Guarantee (without duplication): (i) any accrued and unpaid distributions on such Preferred Securities, and the redemption price, including all accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption, with respect to any Preferred Securities called for redemption by such SunAmerica Trust but if and only to the extent that in each case the Company has made a payment to the related Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in such SunAmerica Trust as trust assets and (ii) upon a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination of such SunAmerica Trust (other than in connection with the distribution of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to the holders of Preferred Securities or the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities upon the maturity or redemption of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities) the lesser of (a) the aggregate of the liquidation amount and all accrued and unpaid distributions on such Preferred Securities to the date of payment, to the extent such SunAmerica Trust has funds available therefor or (b) the amount of assets of such SunAmerica Trust remaining available for distribution to holders of such Preferred Securities in liquidation of such SunAmerica Trust. The Company's obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the required amounts by the Company to the holders of Preferred Securities or by causing the applicable SunAmerica Trust to pay such amounts to such holders. The Preferred Securities Guarantee is a full and unconditional guarantee from the time of issuance of the applicable Preferred Securities but the Preferred Securities Guarantee covers distributions and other payments on such Preferred Securities only if and to the extent that the Company has made a payment to the Property Trustee of interest or principal on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in the applicable SunAmerica Trust as trust assets. If the Company does not make interest or principal payments on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities deposited in the applicable SunAmerica Trust as trust assets, the Property Trust will not make distributions of the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust and the SunAmerica Trust will not have funds available therefor. Certain Covenants of the Company In each Preferred Securities Guarantee, the Company will covenant that, so long as any Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust remain outstanding, the Company will not (A) declare or pay any dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any guarantee payment with respect thereto or (B) make any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal on any debt securities issued by the Company which rank pari passu with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, if at such time (i) the Company shall be in default with respect to its Guarantee Payments or other payment obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantee, (ii) there shall have occurred any Declaration Event of Default under the related Declaration or (iii) in the event that Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are issued to a SunAmerica Trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities by such SunAmerica Trust, the Company shall have given notice of its election to defer payments of interest on such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities by extending the interest payment period as provided in the terms of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and such period, or any extension thereof, is continuing; provided that (a) the Company will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Mandatory Conversion Premium Dividend Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") or upon the conversion of any other Preferred Stock of the Company as may be outstanding from time to time, in each case in accordance with the terms of such stock. In addition, so long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, the Company has agreed (i) to remain the sole direct or indirect owner of all of the outstanding Common Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust and shall not cause or permit the Common Securities to be transferred except to the extent permitted by the related Declaration; provided that any permitted successor of the Company under the Indenture may succeed to the Company's ownership of the Common Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust and (ii) to use reasonable efforts to cause such SunAmerica Trust to continue to be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes except in connection with a distribution of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. Amendments and Assignment Except with respect to any changes that do not adversely affect the rights of holders of Preferred Securities (in which case no consent will be required), each Preferred Securities Guarantee may be amended only with the prior approval of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in liquidation amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust. The manner of obtaining any such approval of holders of such Preferred Securities will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. All guarantees and agreements contained in a Preferred Securities Guarantee shall bind the successors, assignees, receivers, trustees and representatives of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities of the applicable SunAmerica Trust then outstanding. Except in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale involving the Company that is permitted under the Indenture, the Company may not assign its obligations under any Preferred Securities Guarantee. Termination of the Preferred Securities Guarantees Each Preferred Securities Guarantee will terminate and be of no further force and effect as to the Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust upon full payment of the redemption price of all Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust, or upon distribution of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to the holders of the Preferred Securities of such SunAmerica Trust in exchange for all of the Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Trust, or upon full payment of the amounts payable upon liquidation of such SunAmerica Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Preferred Securities Guarantee will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any holder of Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust must restore payment of any sums paid under such Preferred Securities or such Guarantee. Status of the Preferred Securities Guarantees The Company's obligations under each Preferred Securities Guarantee to make the Guarantee Payments will constitute an unsecured obligation of the Company and will rank (i) subordinate and junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of the Company, including the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, except those made pari passu or subordinate by their terms, and (ii) senior to all capital stock now or hereafter issued by the Company and to any guarantee now or hereafter entered into by the Company in respect of any of its capital stock. The Company's obligations under each Preferred Securities Guarantee will rank pari passu with respect to any other Preferred Securities Guarantee. Because the Company is a holding company, the Company's obligations under each Preferred Securities Guarantee are also effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company's subsidiaries, except to the extent that the Company is a creditor of the subsidiaries recognized as such. Each Declaration provides that each holder of Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust by acceptance thereof agrees to the subordination provisions and other terms of the related Preferred Securities Guarantee. Each Preferred Securities Guarantee will constitute a guarantee of payment and not of collection (that is, the guaranteed party may institute a legal proceeding directly against the guarantor to enforce its rights under the guarantee without first instituting a legal proceeding against any other person or entity). Each Preferred Securities Guarantee will be deposited with The Bank of New York, as indenture trustee, to be held for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust. The Bank of New York shall enforce the Preferred Securities Guarantee on behalf of the holders of the Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust. The holders of not less than a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available in respect of the related Preferred Securities Guarantee, including the giving of directions to The Bank of New York. If The Bank of New York fails to enforce such Preferred Securities Guarantee as above provided, any holder of Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such holder's written request to The Bank of New York to enforce such Preferred Securities Guarantee, institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company to enforce its rights under such Preferred Securities Guarantee, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the applicable SunAmerica Trust or any other person or entity. Miscellaneous The Company will be required to provide annually to The Bank of New York a statement as to the performance by the Company of certain of its obligations under the Preferred Securities Guarantees and as to any default in such performance. The Company is required to file annually with The Bank of New York an officer's certificate as to the Company's compliance with all conditions under Preferred Securities Guarantees. The Bank of New York, prior to the occurrence of a default, undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable Preferred Securities Guarantee and, after default with respect to a Preferred Securities Guarantee, shall exercise the same degree of care as a prudent individual would exercise in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to such provision, The Bank of New York is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by a Preferred Securities Guarantee at the request of any holder of Preferred Securities unless it is offered reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred thereby. Governing Law The Guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. DESCRIPTION OF THE JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES Junior Subordinated Debt Securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series under an Indenture dated March 15, 1995 (the "Indenture") between the Company and The First National Bank of Chicago, as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"). The Indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The following description summarizes the material terms of the Indenture, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act. Whenever particular provisions or defined terms in the Indenture are referred to herein, such provisions or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein. Section and Article references used herein are references to provisions of the Indenture. General The Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will be unsecured, junior subordinated obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the amount of additional indebtedness the Company or any of its subsidiaries may incur. Since the Company is a holding company, the Company's rights and the rights of its creditors, including the holders of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the latter's liquidation or recapitalization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors, except to the extent that the Company may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. Claims on the Company's subsidiaries by creditors other than the Company include substantial claims for policy benefits and debt obligations, as well as other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business. In addition, since many of the Company's subsidiaries are insurance companies subject to regulatory control by various state insurance departments, the ability of such subsidiaries to pay dividends or make loans or advances to the Company without prior regulatory approval is limited by applicable laws and regulations. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness which may be issued thereunder and provides that Junior Subordinated Debt Securities may be issued thereunder from time to time in one or more series. The Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are issuable in one or more series pursuant to an indenture supplemental to the Indenture. In the event Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are issued to a SunAmerica Trust or a Trustee of such trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities by such SunAmerica Trust, such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities subsequently may be distributed pro rata to the holders of such Trust Securities in connection with the dissolution of such SunAmerica Trust upon the occurrence of certain events described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Trust Securities. Only one series of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will be issued to a SunAmerica Trust or a trustee of such trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities by such SunAmerica Trust. Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement which will accompany this Prospectus for the following terms of the series of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities being offered thereby (to the extent such terms are applicable to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities): (i) the specific designation of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, aggregate principal amount and purchase price; (ii) any limit on the aggregate principal amount of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities; (iii) the date or dates on which the principal of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities is payable and the right, if any, to extend such date or dates; (iv) the rate or rates at which such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will bear interest or the method of calculating such rate or rates; (v) the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, the interest payment dates on which such interest will be payable or the manner of determination of such interest payment dates and the record dates for the determination of holders to whom interest is payable on any such interest payment dates; (vi) the right, if any, to extend the interest payment periods and the duration of such extension; (vii) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company; (viii) the right and/or obligation, if any of the Company to redeem or purchase such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of the holder thereof and the period or periods for which, the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or part, pursuant to such right and/or obligation; (ix) any applicable United States federal income tax consequences, including whether and under what circumstances the Company will pay additional amounts on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities held by a person who is not a U.S. person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted and, if so, whether the Company will have the option to redeem such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities rather than pay such additional amounts; (x) the form of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities; (xi) if other than denominations of $25 or any integral multiple thereof, the denominations in which such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall be issuable; (xii) any and all other terms with respect to such series, including any modification of or additions to the events of default or covenants provided for with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, and any terms which may be required by or advisable under applicable laws or regulations not inconsistent with the Indenture; and (xiii) whether such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are issuable as a global security, and in such case, the identity of the depositary. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, the Junior Subordinated Debentures will be issued in United States dollars in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $25 or integral multiples thereof. Junior Subordinated Debt Securities may be presented for exchange and Junior Subordinated Debt Securities in registered form may be presented for transfer in the manner, at the places and subject to the restrictions set forth in the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and the Prospectus Supplement. Such services will be provided without charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, but subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture. Junior Subordinated Debt Securities in bearer form and the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto will be transferable by delivery. Junior Subordinated Debt Securities may bear interest at a fixed rate or a floating rate. Junior Subordinated Debt Securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below the prevailing market rate will be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. Special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to any such discounted Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or to certain Junior Subordinated Debt Securities issued at par which are treated as having been issued at a discount for United States federal income tax purposes are described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement. Certain Covenants of the Company Applicable to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities If Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are issued to a SunAmerica Trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities by such SunAmerica Trust, the Company will covenant in the Indenture that, so long as the Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust remain outstanding, the Company will not (a) declare or pay any dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any guarantee payment with respect thereto if at such time (i) the Company shall be in default with respect to its Guarantee Payments or other payment obligations under the related Preferred Securities Guarantee, (ii) there shall have occurred any Indenture Event of Default with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities or (iii) in the event that Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are issued to a SunAmerica Trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities by such SunAmerica Trust, the Company shall have given notice of its election to defer payments of interest on such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities by extending the interest payment period as provided in the terms of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and such period, or any extension thereof, is continuing; provided that (x) the Company will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Preferred Stock or upon the conversion of any other Preferred Stock of the Company as may be outstanding from time to time, in each case in accordance with the terms of such stock and (y) the foregoing will not apply to any stock dividends paid by the Company. In addition, if Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are issued to a SunAmerica Trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities by such SunAmerica Trust, for so long as the Preferred Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust remain outstanding, the Company has agreed (i) to remain the sole direct or indirect owner of all of the outstanding Common Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust and shall not cause or permit the Common Securities to be transferred except to the extent permitted by the related Declaration; provided that any permitted successor of the Company under the Indenture may succeed to the Company's ownership of the Common Securities issued by the applicable SunAmerica Trust, (ii) to comply fully with all of its obligations and agreements contained in the related Declaration and (iii) not to take any action which would cause the applicable SunAmerica Trust to cease to be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes except in connection with a distribution of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. Subordination The Indenture provides that the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company. In the event (a) of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in respect of the Company or its property or any proceeding for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, or (b) that Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of any series are declared due and payable before their expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Indenture (under circumstances other than as set forth in clause (a) above), then the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon in money, before the holders of any of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are entitled to receive payment on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. In the event and during the continuation of any default in payment of any Senior Indebtedness or if any event of default shall exist under any Senior Indebtedness, as "event of default" is defined therein or in the agreement under which the same is outstanding, no payment of the principal or, premium, if any, or interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall be made. (Section 14.02 and 14.03). If this Prospectus is being delivered in connection with a series of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, the accompanying Prospectus Supplement will set forth the approximate amount of Senior Indebtedness outstanding as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. The term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on (a) all indebtedness of the Company, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, (i) for money borrowed by the Company (including, without limitation, indebtedness issued or to be issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of April 15, 1993 between SunAmerica and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee), (ii) for money borrowed by, or obligations of, others and either assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (iii) in respect of letters of credit and acceptances issued or made by banks, or (iv) constituting purchase money indebtedness, or indebtedness secured by property included in the property, plant and equipment accounts of the Company at the time of the acquisition of such property by the Company for the payment of which the Company is directly liable and (b) all deferrals, renewals, extensions and refundings of, and amendments, modifications and supplements to, any such indebtedness. As used in the preceding sentence the term "purchase money indebtedness" means indebtedness evidenced by a note, debenture, bond or other instrument (whether or not secured by any lien or other security interest) issued or assumed as all or a part of the consideration for the acquisition of property, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, unless by its terms such indebtedness is subordinate to other indebtedness of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, Senior Indebtedness shall not include (i) any indebtedness of the Company which, by its terms or the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing it, is subordinate in right of payment to or pari passu with the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, as the case may be, and in particular, the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities shall rank pari passu with respect to all other debt securities and guarantees in respect thereof issued to any other trusts, partnerships or other entity affiliated with the Company which is a financing vehicle of the Company in connection with the issuance of preferred securities by such financing vehicle, or (ii) any indebtedness of the Company to a subsidiary of the Company. (Section 1.01). The Subordinated Indenture does not contain any limitation on the amount of Senior Indebtedness that can be incurred by the Company. Indenture Events of Default The Indenture provides that any one or more of the following described events, which has occurred and is continuing, constitutes an "Indenture Event of Default" with respect to each series of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities: (a) failure for 30 days to pay interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of such series when due; provided that a valid extension of the interest payment period by the Company shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; or (b) failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of such series when due whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or (c) failure to observe or perform any other covenant contained in the Indenture with respect to such series for 90 days after written notice to the Company from the Indenture Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of such series; or (d) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company. In each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Indenture Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of that series then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by such holders), may declare the principal of all the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. (Section 6.01). The holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of that series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee. (Section 6.06). The Indenture Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of that series may declare the principal due and payable immediately upon an Indenture Event of Default with respect to such series, but the holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of such series may annul such declaration and waive the default if the default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal otherwise than by acceleration and any premium has been deposited with the Indenture Trustee. (Sections 6.01 and 6.06). The holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of that series may, on behalf of the holders of all the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of that series, waive any past default, except a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal otherwise than by acceleration and any premium has been deposited with the Indenture Trustee) or a call for redemption of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities. (Section 6.06). The Company is required to file annually with the Indenture Trustee a certificate as to whether or not the Company is in compliance with all the conditions and covenants under the Indenture. If Junior Subordinated Debt Securities are issued to a SunAmerica Trust in connection with the issuance of Trust Securities of such SunAmerica Trust, then under the applicable Declaration an Indenture Event of Default with respect to such series of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will constitute a Declaration Event of Default. Modification of the Indenture The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of each series affected, to modify the Indenture or any supplemental indenture affecting the rights of the holders of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities; provided that no such modification may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt Security affected thereby, (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Junior Subordinated Debt Security so affected or (ii) reduce the percentage of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such modification, without the consent of the holders of each Junior Subordinated Debt Security then outstanding and affected thereby. (Section 9.02). Book-Entry and Settlement If any Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of a series are represented by one or more global securities (each, a "Global Security"), the applicable Prospectus Supplement will describe the circumstances, if any, under which beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Security may exchange such interests for Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount in any authorized form and denomination. Principal of and any premium and interest on a Global Security will be payable in the manner described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a series of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities to be represented by a Global Security will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Consolidation, Merger and Sale The Indenture will provide that the Company may not consolidate with or merge into any other person or transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person and may not permit any person to merge into or consolidate with the Company unless (i) either the Company will be the resulting or surviving entity or any successor or purchaser is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America, any State or the District of Columbia, and any such successor or purchaser expressly assumes the Company's obligations under the Indenture and (ii) immediately after giving effect to the transaction no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Defeasance and Discharge Under the terms of the Indenture, the Company will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of a series (except in each case for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of that series, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust) if (i) the Company irrevocably deposits with the Indenture Trustee cash or U.S. Government Obligations, as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay at maturity (or upon redemption) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of such series; (ii) the Company delivers to the Indenture Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and that defeasance will not otherwise alter holders' United States federal income tax treatment of principal, premium and interest payments on such Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of such series (such opinion must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of such Indenture, since such a result would not occur under current tax law); and (iii) no event or condition shall exist that, pursuant to the subordination provisions applicable to such series, would prevent the Company from making payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities of such series at the date of the irrevocable deposit referred to above. (Section 11.01). Governing Law The Indenture and the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. (Section 13.05). Information Concerning the Indenture Trustee The Indenture Trustee, prior to default, undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture and, after default, shall exercise the same degree of care as a prudent individual would exercise in the conduct of his or her own affairs. (Section 7.01). Subject to such provision, the Indenture Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request of any holder of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, unless offered reasonable indemnity by such holder against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred thereby. (Section 7.02). The Indenture Trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of its duties if the Trustee reasonably believes that repayment or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it. (Section 7.01). The Indenture Trustee is one of a number of banks with which the Company and its subsidiaries maintain ordinary banking and trust relationships. Miscellaneous The Company will have the right at all times to assign any of its rights or obligations under the Indenture to a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; provided that, in the event of any such assignment, the Company will remain jointly and severally liable for all such obligations. Subject to the foregoing, the Indenture will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns. The Indenture provides that it may not otherwise be assigned by the parties thereto other than by the Company to a successor or purchaser pursuant to a consolidation, merger or sale permitted by the Indenture. (Section 13.11). PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Company may sell any series of Junior Subordinated Debt Securities and the SunAmerica Trusts may sell the Preferred Securities being offered hereby directly or through agents, underwriters or dealers. Offers to purchase Offered Securities may be solicited by agents designated by the Company from time to time. Any such agent, who may be deemed to be an underwriter as that term is defined in the Securities Act, involved in the offer or sale of the Offered Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by the Company to such agent set forth, in the Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. The Company may also sell Offered Securities to an agent as principal. Agents may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into the Company to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of business. If any underwriters are utilized in the sale of Offered Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered, the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters and the names of the underwriters and the terms of the transaction will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, which will be used by the underwriters to make resales of the Offered Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered to the public. Underwriters may offer and sell the Offered Securities at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or from time to time at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The underwriters may be entitled, under the relevant underwriting agreement, to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of business. If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the Offered Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered, the Company will sell such Offered Securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such Offered Securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale. Dealers may be entitled to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of business. Offered Securities may also be offered and sold, if so indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more firms ("marketing firms"), acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for the Company. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreement, if any, with the Company and its compensation will be described in the Prospectus Supplement. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the Offered Securities remarketed thereby. Remarketing firms may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of business. If so indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company will authorize agents and underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase Offered Securities from the Company at the public offering price set forth in the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject to only those conditions set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, and the Prospectus Supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of such offers. LEGAL MATTERS Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, certain matters of Delaware law relating to the validity of the Preferred Securities will be passed upon for the SunAmerica Trusts by Richards, Layton & Finger, Wilmington, Delaware, special Delaware counsel to the SunAmerica Trusts. The validity of the Preferred Securities Guarantees and the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will be passed upon for the SunAmerica Trusts and the Company by Davis Polk & Wardwell, New York, New York, special counsel to the Company and the SunAmerica Trusts. Certain legal matters in connection with the Preferred Securities, the Preferred Securities Guarantees and the Junior Subordinated Debt Securities will be passed upon for the SunAmerica Trusts and the Company by Susan L. Harris, Vice President and General Counsel--Corporate Affairs of the Company. Ms. Harris and Davis Polk & Wardwell will rely as to matters of Maryland law on Piper & Marbury LLP, Baltimore, Maryland. Ms. Harris holds stock, restricted stock and options to purchase stock granted under the Company's employee stock plan, which in the aggregate represents less than 1% of the Company's common stock. David W. Ferguson, a partner of Davis Polk & Wardwell, is a director of First SunAmerica Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of the Company. EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements incorporated in this Prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1994, have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of Price Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. ERISA MATTERS The Company and certain affiliates of the Company, including Anchor National Life Insurance Company and SunAmerica Life Insurance Company, may each be considered a "party in interest" within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or a "disqualified person" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") with respect to many employee benefit plans. Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code may arise, for example, if the Offered Securities are acquired by a pension or other employee benefit plan with respect to which the Company or any of its affiliates is a service provider, unless such Offered Securities are acquired pursuant to an exemption for transactions effected on behalf of such plan by a "qualified professional asset manager" or pursuant to any other available exemption. Any such pension or employee benefit plan proposing to invest in the Offered Securities should consult with its legal counsel. PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS Item 14.

In addition, the Company's officers and directors are covered by certain directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Company. Reference is made to section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law and Article Eighth of the Articles, which are incorporated herein by reference. Each Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (a "Declaration") of a SunAmerica Trust provides that no Trustee, affiliate of any Trustee or any officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, employees, representatives or agents of any Trustee or any employee or agent of such SunAmerica Trust or its affiliates (each, an "Indemnified Person") shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to any employee or agent of such SunAmerica Trust or its affiliates, or any officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives or agents of the Company or its affiliates or to any holders of Trust Securities of such SunAmerica Trust for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of such SunAmerica Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by the Declaration of such SunAmerica Trust or by law, except that an Indemnified Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Indemnified Person's gross negligence (or, in the case of the Property Trustee of such SunAmerica Trust, negligence) or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions. Each Declaration also provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of such SunAmerica Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Indemnified Person by such Declaration, except that no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of gross negligence (or, in the case of the Property Trustee of such SunAmerica Trust, negligence) or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions. Each Declaration further provides that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to such Declaration.

Item 17. Undertakings. The undersigned registrants hereby undertake: (a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered thereby, and for the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 15 of this registration statement, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Los Angeles, State of California, on September 27, 1995.

(B) Each of the several Underwriters represents and agrees with the Company that: (a) except to the extent permitted under the D Rules, it has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell at any time, Debt Warrants in bearer form to a person who is within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person; (b) it has in effect procedures reasonably designed to ensure that its employees or agents who are directly engaged in selling Debt Warrants in bearer form are aware that such Debt Warrants may not be offered or sold at any time to a person who is within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person, except as permitted by the D Rules; (c) if it is a United States person, it is acquiring the Debt Warrants in bearer form for purposes of resale in connection with their original issuance and if it retains Debt Warrants in bearer form for its own account, it will only do so in accordance with the requirements of U.S. Treas. Reg. Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(6); (d) if it transfers to any affiliate Debt Warrants in bearer form for the purpose of offering or selling such Debt Warrants, it will either (i) obtain from such affiliate for the benefit of the Company the representations and agreements contained in clauses (a), (b) and (c) or (ii) repeat and confirm the representations and agreements contained in clauses (a), (b) and (c) on such affiliate's behalf and obtain from such affiliate the authority to so obligate it; (e) it will obtain for the benefit of the Company the representations and agreements contained in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) from any person other than its affiliate with whom it enters into a written contract, as defined in U.S. Treas. Reg. Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(4) for the offer or sale of Debt Warrants in bearer form; and (f) it will comply with or observe any other restrictions or limitations set forth in the Prospectus on persons to whom, or the jurisdictions in which, or the manner in which, the Debt Warrants may be offered, sold, resold or delivered. Terms used in the preceding paragraph have the meaning given to them by the Code and regulations thereunder, including the D Rules. 8. Indemnification and Contribution. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Underwriter or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (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 made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter in writing through the Manager expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Offered Securities, Debt Warrant Securities or Debt Warrants, or any person controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or 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 by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to such purchase, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter in writing through the Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified 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. In any such proceeding, 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 respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Manager, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the second preceding paragraph, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the first preceding paragraph. 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 prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. If the indemnification provided for in the first or second paragraph in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Offered Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Offered Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Offered Securities purchased by each of such Underwriters and not joint. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in 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 Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Securities. 9. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination, by notice given by the Manager to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the Manager, is material and adverse, or (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities, and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (iii), such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment of the Manager, impracticable to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. 10. Defaulting Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date [or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be,](10), any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters' Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of the Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the amount of Underwriters' Securities set forth opposite their respective names above bears to the aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Manager may specify, to purchase the Underwriters' Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the amount of Underwriters' Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such amount of Underwriters' Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date and the aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Manager and the Company for the purchase of such Underwriters' Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either the Manager or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date but in no event for longer then seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. [If, on the Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date and the aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date or (ii) purchase not less than the amount of Underwriters' Securities that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase on such date in the absence of such default.](11) Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement. - --------- (10)Applicable if a green shoe is offered to Underwriters. (11) Applicable if a green shoe is offered to Underwriters. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering of the Offered Securities. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall limit the Company's obligations to pay expenses as provided in Section 6. 11. Miscellaneous. The Underwriting Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. 12. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement. 13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement.

On the Closing Date, the Company will pay to the Manager as compensation for the accounts of the Underwriters the commission set forth in the Underwriting Agreement in respect of the Contract Securities.

Public Offering. The Company is advised by the Manager that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Underwriters' Securities as soon after this Agreement has been entered into as in the Manager's judgment is advisable.

(c) The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by an executive officer of the Company, to the effect set forth in clause (b) above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date and that the Company has complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the obligations on its part to be performed or satisfied on or before the Closing Date.

(e) The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of special counsel for the Underwriters (the selection of whom shall be approved by the Company), dated the Closing Date, to the effect set forth in paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv) [and (vii) and (viii)](5) in Exhibit A and paragraphs (i) through (iv) in Exhibit C.

Covenants of the Company. In further consideration of the agreements of the Underwriters contained herein, the Company covenants as follows: (a) To furnish the Manager, without charge, a signed copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and for delivery to each other Underwriter a conformed copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, during the period mentioned in paragraph (c) below, as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as the Manager may reasonably request. (b) Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the Prospectus with respect to the Offered Securities, to furnish to the Manager a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Manager reasonably objects. (c) If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Offered Securities as the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters, and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Manager will furnish to the Company) to which Offered Securities may have been sold by the Manager on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law. (d) To endeavor to qualify the Offered Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws or insurance securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager shall reasonably request and to pay all expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with such qualification and in connection with any review of the offering of the Offered Securities by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (e) To make generally available to the Company's security holders and to the Manager as soon as practicable an earning statement covering a twelve month period beginning on the first day of the first full fiscal quarter after the date of this Agreement, which earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. (f) During the period mentioned in paragraph (c) above, to advise the Underwriters promptly of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose. 7. Indemnification and Contribution. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Underwriter or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (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 made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter in writing through the Manager expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Offered Securities, Equity Warrant Securities or Equity Warrants, or any person controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or 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 by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to such purchase, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter in writing through the Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified 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. In any such proceeding, 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 respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Manager, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the second preceding paragraph, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the first preceding paragraph. 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 prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. If the indemnification provided for in the first or second paragraph in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Offered Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Offered Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Offered Securities purchased by each of such Underwriters and not joint. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in 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 Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 7 and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Securities. 8. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination, by notice given by the Manager to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the Manager, is material and adverse, or (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities, and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (iii), such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment of the Manager, impracticable to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. 9. Defaulting Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date [or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be](7), any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters' Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Underwriters' Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Underwriters' Securities set forth opposite their respective names above bears to the aggregate number of Underwriters' Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Manager may specify, to purchase the Underwriters' Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Underwriters' Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 9 by a number in excess of one-ninth of such number of Underwriters' Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date and the aggregate number of Underwriters' Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Manager and the Company for the purchase of such Underwriters' Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either the Manager or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date but in no event for longer then seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. [If, on the Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date and the aggregate number of Underwriters' Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase Underwriters' Securities to be purchased on such date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Underwriters' Securities that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase on such date in the absence of such default.](8) Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement. _______________ (7) Applicable if a green shoe is offered to Underwriters. (8) Applicable if a green shoe is offered to Underwriters. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering of the Offered Securities. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall limit the Company's obligations to pay expenses as provided in Section 6. 10. Miscellaneous. The Underwriting Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. 11. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement. 12. Counterparts.

(q) The Trust, the Company and the Subsidiaries possess such certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state or federal regulatory agencies or bodies as are necessary to conduct the business as now conducted by them and as described in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, except where the failure to so possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings or business affairs of the Trust or the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise; and none of the Trust, the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings or business affairs of the Trust or the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise. (r) Neither the Trust nor the Company is an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(c) The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate, dated the Closing Date and signed by an executive officer of the Company, to the effect set forth in clause (b) above and to the effect that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Closing Date and that the Trust and the Company have complied with all of the agreements and satisfied all of the obligations on their part to be performed or satisfied on or before the Closing Date. The officer signing and delivering such certificate may rely upon the best of his knowledge as to proceedings threatened.

(e) The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of special counsel for the Underwriters (the selection of whom shall be approved by the Company), dated the Closing Date, to the effect set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) in Exhibit A, paragraphs (i) through (iv) and (vi) through (viii) in Exhibit C and paragraphs (i) through (v) in Exhibit D.

(f) The Manager shall have received on the Closing Date a letter, dated the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager, from the Company's independent public accountants, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus.

The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Additional Securities hereunder are subject to delivery to the Manager on the Option Closing Date of such opinions, certificates and documents contemplated by this Section 4 as such Manager shall reasonably request relating to the issuance of the Additional Securities. 5. Covenants of the Company. In further consideration of the agreements of the Underwriters contained herein, the Company covenants as follows: (a) To furnish the Manager, without charge, a signed copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and for delivery to each other Underwriter a conformed copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, during the period mentioned in paragraph (c) below, as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein and any supplements and amendments thereto or to the Registration Statement as the Manager may reasonably request. (b) Before amending or supplementing the Registration Statement or the Prospectus with respect to the Preferred Securities, the Debentures or the Guarantee, to furnish to the Manager a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement and not to file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Manager reasonably objects. (c) If, during such period after the first date of the public offering of the Preferred Securities as the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters, and to the dealers (whose names and addresses the Manager will furnish to the Company) to which Preferred Securities may have been sold by the Manager on behalf of the Underwriters and to any other dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, will comply with law. (d) To endeavor to qualify the Preferred Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws or insurance securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Manager shall reasonably request and to pay all expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with such qualification and in connection with any review of the offering of the Preferred Securities by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (e) To make generally available to the security holders of the Trust and the Company and to the Manager as soon as practicable an earning statement covering a twelve month period beginning on the first day of the first full fiscal quarter after the date of this Agreement, which earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. (f) During the period mentioned in paragraph (c) above, to advise the Underwriters promptly of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose. 6. Indemnification and Contribution. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Underwriter or any such controlling person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim), caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Trust and 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 made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Trust and the Company by any Underwriter in writing through the Manager expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Offered Securities, or any person controlling such Underwriter, if a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented, if the Trust and 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 by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to such purchase, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the (i) the Trust, its Trustees, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Trust within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and (ii) the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, in each such case to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Trust or the Company by any Underwriter in writing through the Manager expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which the Underwriters may otherwise have. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, such person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified 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. In any such proceeding, 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 respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Manager, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the second preceding paragraph, and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the first preceding paragraph. 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 prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. If the indemnification provided for in the first or second paragraph in this Section 6 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Trust and the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Preferred Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Trust and the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Trust and the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Preferred Securities shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Preferred Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Trust and the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Offered Securities. The relative fault of the Trust and the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Trust or the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 6 are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Preferred Securities purchased by each of such Underwriters and not joint. The Trust, the Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6 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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in 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 Section 6, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Preferred Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 6 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 6 and the representations and warranties of the Trust and the Company contained herein shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Trust, its Trustees or any person controlling the Trust, the Company, its directors or officers or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Offered Securities. 7. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination, by notice given by the Manager to the Trust and the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company or of any SunAmerica Trust shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the Manager, is material and adverse, or (iv) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either federal or New York State authorities, and (b) in the case of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (iii), such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in the judgment of the Manager, impracticable to market the Preferred Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus. 8. Defaulting Underwriters. If, on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Preferred Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Preferred Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Preferred Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Preferred Securities set forth opposite their respective names above bears to the aggregate number of Preferred Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Manager may specify, to purchase the Preferred Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Preferred Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 8 by an number in excess of one-ninth of such number of Preferred Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Preferred Securities to be purchased on such date and the aggregate number of Preferred Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Preferred Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Manager and the Company for the purchase of such Preferred Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either the Manager or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date but in no event for longer then seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on the Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Preferred Securities to be purchased on such date and the aggregate number of Preferred Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Preferred Securities to be purchased on such date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase Preferred Securities to be purchased on such date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Preferred Securities that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase on such date in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Trust or the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Trust or the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering of the Preferred Securities. Nothing in the foregoing sentence shall limit the Company's obligations to pay expenses as provided in Section 5. 9. Miscellaneous. The Underwriting Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. 10. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement. 11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement. Exhibit A Opinion of Maryland Counsel for the Company The opinion of Piper & Marbury, Maryland counsel for the Company, to be delivered pursuant to Section 4(d) of the Underwriting Agreement, shall be limited to the laws of the State of Maryland and shall be to the effect that: (i) the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws under the State of Maryland; and the Company has the corporate power under the laws of the State of Maryland and under its charter to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. (ii) the Underwriting Agreement, the Declaration, the Indenture, the Debentures and the Guarantee have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company; and (iii) the execution and delivery by the Company of, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under, the Underwriting Agreement, the Declaration, the Indenture, the Debentures and the Guarantee will not contravene any provision of any material applicable law of the State of Maryland or the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Company (excluding the securities or Blue Sky laws of the State of Maryland, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion). Exhibit B Opinion of Counsel for the Company The opinion of Susan L. Harris, Vice President and General Counsel--Corporate Affairs of the Company, to be delivered pursuant to Section 4(d) of the Underwriting Agreement shall be to the effect that: (i) to the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, the Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, on the earnings or business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (ii) each Subsidiary has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus; nothing has come to the attention of such counsel to lead such counsel to believe that any of Sun Life Insurance Company of America, Anchor National Life Insurance Company or SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. is not duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business or is not in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings or business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; to the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary is owned (except for directors qualifying shares), directly or through subsidiaries, by the Company, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity; (iii) to the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, there are no contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases or other instruments required to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement or to be filed as exhibits thereto other than those described or referred to therein or filed as exhibits thereto, the descriptions thereof or references thereto are correct and, to the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, no default exists in the due performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument so described, referred to or filed, which default could have a material adverse effect on the Trust or the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise; (iv) to the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Declaration, the Indenture, the Debentures and the Guarantee and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement and Prospectus will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Trust, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to, any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Trust, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Trust, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is subject, except for a conflict, breach, default, lien, charge or encumbrance which would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or the earnings or business affairs of the Trust or the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the respective Declaration, charter or by-laws of the Trust, the Company and the Subsidiaries, as applicable, or any material applicable law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree; (v) to the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, no consent, approval, authorization or order of or qualification with any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Trust or the Company of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, or the issuance and sale of the Preferred Securities except such as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws or insurance securities laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Preferred Securities; (vi) to the best of such counsel's knowledge and information, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened or any statutes, regulations, contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus that are not described as required; (vii) such counsel (1) is of the opinion that each document, if any, filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (except for financial statements, supporting schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion) appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (2) believes that (except for financial statements, supporting schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need not express any belief, and except for the part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1 heretofore referred to) each part of the Registration Statement, when such part became effective did not, and as of the date such opinion is delivered, does not contain any 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, (3) is of the opinion that the Registration Statement and Prospectus (except for financial statements, supporting schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need not express any opinion, and except for the part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Form T-1 heretofore referred to) appear on their face to be appropriately responsively in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and (4) believes that (except for financial statements, supporting schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need not express any belief) the Prospectus as of the date such opinion is delivered does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(15) whether and under what circumstances the Issuer will pay additional amounts on the Securities of the series held by a person who is not a U.S. person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted and, if so, whether the Issuer will have the option to redeem such Securities rather than pay such additional amounts;

All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to such Board Resolution, such Officer's Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. SECTION 2.4 Authentication and Delivery of Securities. The Issuer may deliver Securities of any series having attached thereto appropriate Coupons, if any, executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication together with the applicable documents referred to below in this Section, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon the order of the Issuer (contained in the Issuer Order referred to below in this Section) or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee and to such recipients as may be specified from time to time by an Issuer Order. The maturity date, original issue date, interest rate and any other terms of the Securities of such series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be determined by or pursuant to such Issuer Order and procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such Issuer Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive (in the case of subparagraphs 2, 3 and 4 below only at or before the time of the first request of the Issuer to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series) and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked: (1) an Issuer Order requesting such authentication and setting forth delivery instructions if the Securities and Coupons, if any, are not to be delivered to the Issuer, provided that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, (a) such Issuer Order may be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the Trustee of such Securities for authentication and delivery, (b) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the aggregate principal amount established for such series, pursuant to an Issuer Order or pursuant to procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by an Issuer Order, (c) the maturity date or dates, original issue date or dates, interest rate or rates and any other terms of Securities of such series shall be determined by an Issuer Order or pursuant to such procedures and (d) if provided for in such procedures, such Issuer Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing; (2) any Board Resolution, Officer's Certificate and/or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, were established; (3) an Officer's Certificate setting forth the form or forms and terms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, stating that the form or forms and terms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, have been established pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 and comply with this Indenture, and covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; and (4) At the option of the Issuer, either one or more Opinions of Counsel, or a letter addressed to the Trustee permitting it to rely on one or more Opinions of Counsel, substantially to the effect that: (a) the forms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, have been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (b) in the case of an underwritten offering, the terms of the Securities have been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, and, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, certain terms of the Securities have been established pursuant to a Board Resolution, an Officer's Certificate or a supplemental indenture in accordance with this Indenture, and when such other terms as are to be established pursuant to procedures set forth in an Issuer Order shall have been established, all such terms will have been duly authorized by the Issuer and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (c) when the Securities and Coupons, if any, have been executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and delivered to and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, they will have been duly issued under this Indenture, will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and will be valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and (ii) rights of acceleration, if any, and the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability; and (d) the execution and delivery by the Issuer of, and the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under, the Securities and Coupons, if any, will not contravene any provision of any material applicable law or the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Issuer or any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Issuer or any of its "significant subsidiaries" (as defined in Article 1 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933) that is material to the Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, to the best of such counsel's knowledge, any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any "significant subsidiary" (as defined above), and no consent, approval, authorization or order of or qualification with any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Securities and Coupons, if any, except such as are specified and have been obtained and such as may be required by the securities or blue sky laws of the various states in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities and Coupons, if any. In rendering such opinions, any counsel may qualify any opinions as to enforceability by stating that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Such counsel may rely upon opinions of other counsel (copies of which shall be delivered to the Trustee), who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, in which case the opinion shall state that such counsel believes he and the Trustee are entitled so to rely. Such counsel may also state that, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, he has relied, to the extent he deems proper, upon certificates of officers of the Issuer and its subsidiaries and certificates of public officials. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Issuer or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or board of trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities, this Indenture or otherwise. If the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Section 2.3 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the Issuer Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Registered Global Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of the Securities of such series issued and not yet cancelled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Registered Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instructions and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary." Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 2.3 must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other applicable statute or regulation. SECTION 2.5 Execution of Securities. The Securities and, if applicable, each Coupon appertaining thereto shall be signed on behalf of the Issuer by the chairman or vice chairman of its Board of Directors or its president or any executive, senior or other vice president or its treasurer, under its corporate seal (except in the case of Coupons) which may, but need not, be attested. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers. The seal of the Issuer may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. In case any officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the Securities or Coupons, if any, shall cease to be such officer before the Security or Coupon so signed (or the Security to which the Coupon so signed appertains) shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security or Coupon nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Security or Coupon had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer; and any Security or Coupon may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security or Coupon, shall be the proper officers of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer. SECTION 2.6 Certificate of Authentication. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. No Coupon shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or shall be valid and obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the Security to which such Coupon appertains shall have been duly executed by the Trustee. The execution of such certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. SECTION 2.7 Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. The Securities of each series shall be issuable as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in denominations established as contemplated by Section 2.3 or, with respect to the Registered Securities of any series, if not so established, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. If denominations of Unregistered Securities of any series are not so established, such Securities shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and $5,000. The 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 Issuer executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Unregistered Security shall be dated as provided in the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Issuer referred to in Section 2.3. The Securities of each series shall bear interest, if any, from the date, and such interest shall be payable on the dates, established as contemplated by Section 2.3. The person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is registered at the close of business on any record date applicable to a particular series with respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Registered Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names Outstanding Registered Securities for such series are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than five Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of Registered Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date. The term "record date" as used with respect to any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Securities of any series shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Registered Securities of such series established as contemplated by Section 2.3, or, if no such date is so established, if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month, the fifteenth day of the next preceding calendar month or, if such interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month, the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such record date is a Business Day. SECTION 2.8 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Issuer will keep at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2 for each series of Securities a register or registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will provide for the registration of Registered Securities of such series and the registration of transfer of Registered Securities of such series. Such register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.2, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount. Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary global Unregistered Securities) and Coupons (except for Coupons attached to any temporary global Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable by delivery. At the option of the Holder thereof, Registered Securities of any series (other than a Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Issuer that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 3.2 and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. If the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Issuer that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 3.2, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. At the option of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of any series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Issuer that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 3.2 or as specified pursuant to Section 2.3, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Registered Securities of any series may not be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series unless (1) otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.3 and (2) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that (x) the Issuer has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that the inclusion of terms permitting Registered Securities to be exchanged for Unregistered Securities would result in no adverse Federal income tax effect to the Issuer or to any Holder. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Securities and Coupons surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee and the Trustee will deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Issuer. All Registered Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any such transaction. The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be redeemed or (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption, in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.8, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary. If at any time the Depositary for any Registered Securities of a series represented by one or more Registered Global Securities notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Registered Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Registered Securities shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.4, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under Section 2.4 with respect to such Registered Securities. If a successor Depositary eligible under Section 2.4 for such Registered Securities is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Issuer's election pursuant to Section 2.3 that such Registered Securities be represented by one or more Registered Global Securities shall no longer be effective and the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered Securities in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities. The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Registered Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities shall no longer be represented by a Registered Global Security or Securities. In such event the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such Registered Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities. If specified by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.3 with respect to Securities represented by a Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Registered Security or Securities of the same serie s, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Registered Global Security; and (ii) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (i) above. Upon the exchange of a Registered Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, such Registered Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. Securities in definitive registered form without coupons issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Issuer or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of Securities to the contrary, none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee (any of which, other than the Issuer, shall rely on an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Issuer (such as, for example, the inability of the Issuer to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws. SECTION 2.9 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security or any Coupon appertaining to any Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of the same series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons appertaining to the Securities so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, or in exchange or substitution for the Security to which such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertained, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof and in the case of mutilation or defacement shall surrender the Security and related Coupons to the Trustee or such agent. Upon the issuance of any substitute Security or Coupon, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) or its agent connected therewith. In case any Security or Coupon which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same or the relevant Coupon (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security or Coupon), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof. Every substitute Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities or Coupons of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities and Coupons shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 2.10 Cancellation of Securities; Destruction Thereof. All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee or any agent of the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee or its agent shall dispose of cancelled Securities and Coupons held by it and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Issuer. If the Issuer or its agent shall acquire any of the Securities or Coupons, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities or Coupons unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation. SECTION 2.11 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable as Registered Securities without coupons, or as Unregistered Securities with or without coupons attached thereto, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the concurrence of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Temporary Securities may contain such references to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Issuer shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Registered Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.2 and, in the case of Unregistered Securities, at any agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose as specified pursuant to Section 2.3, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series having authorized denominations and, in the case of Unregistered Securities, having attached thereto any appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series, unless otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section are subject to any restrictions or limitations on the issue and delivery of temporary Unregistered Securities of any series that may be established pursuant to Section 2.3 (including any provision that Unregistered Securities of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global Unregistered Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency located outside the United States and the procedures pursuant to which definitive or global Unregistered Securities of such series would be issued in exchange for such temporary global Unregistered Security). ARTICLE THREE COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER SECTION 3.1 Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities of such series (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in such Securities and in the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and in this Indenture. The interest on Securities with Coupons attached (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. If any temporary Unregistered Security provides that interest thereon may be paid while such Security is in temporary form, the interest on any such temporary Unregistered Security (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Security) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by Coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest, in each case subject to any restrictions that may be established pursuant to Section 2.3. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only to or upon the written order of the Holders thereof and, at the option of the Issuer, may be paid by wire transfer or by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the registry books of the Issuer. SECTION 3.2 Offices for Payments, etc. So long as any Registered Securities are authorized for issuance pursuant to this Indenture or are outstanding hereunder, the Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Registered Securities of each series may be presented for payment, where the Securities of each series may be presented for exchange as is provided in this Indenture and, if applicable, pursuant to Section 2.3 and where the Registered Securities of each series may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided. The Issuer will maintain one or more offices or agencies in a city or cities located outside the United States (including any city in which such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any stock exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed) where the Unregistered Securities, if any, of each series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be presented for payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or Coupon will be made upon presentation of such Unregistered Security or Coupon at an agency of the Issuer within the United States nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States unless pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in Dollars of Unregistered Securities of any series and Coupons appertaining thereto which are payable in Dollars may be made at an agency of the Issuer maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such payment in Dollars at each agency maintained by the Issuer outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. The Issuer will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of any series, the Coupons appertaining thereto or this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of each such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. In case the Issuer shall fail to maintain any agency required by this Section to be located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location of any of the above agencies, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Issuer may from time to time designate one or more additional offices or agencies where the Securities of a series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented for payment, where the Securities of that series may be presented for exchange as provided in this Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.3 and where the Registered Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided, and the Issuer may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the Issuer may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain the agencies provided for in this Section. The Issuer will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof. SECTION 3.3 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder. SECTION 3.4 Paying Agents. Whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, or Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, or of the Trustee, (b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable, and (c) that it will pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee's written request at any time during the continuance of the failure referred to in clause (b) above. The Issuer will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series or the Coupons appertaining thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 10.1, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Sections 10.3 and 10.4. SECTION 3.5 Written Statement to Trustee. The Issuer will furnish to the Trustee on or before January 31 in each year ? a brief certificate (which need not comply with Section 11.5) from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Issuer stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his duties as an officer of the Issuer he would normally have knowledge of any default or non-compliance by the Issuer in the performance of any covenants or conditions contained in this Indenture, stating whether or not he has knowledge of any such default or non-compliance and, if so, describing each such default or non-compliance of which the signer has knowledge and the nature thereof. SECTION 3.6 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Nine, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, if, in the judgment of the Issuer, the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Securityholders. SECTION 3.7 Maintenance of Properties. The Issuer will cause all properties used in or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary, so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all time except to the extent that the Issuer may be prevented from so doing by circumstances beyond its control; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Issuer from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties, or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Issuer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Securityholders. SECTION 3.8 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Issuer will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent: (a) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuer or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary; and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials, and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; and provided further that the Issuer shall not be required to cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim if the Issuer shall determine that such payment is not advantageous to the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the failure so to pay or discharge is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Securityholders. SECTION 3.9 Luxembourg Publications. In the event of the publication of any notice pursuant to Section 5.11, 6.10(a), 6.11, 8.2, 10.4 or 12.2, the party making such publication in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and London shall also, to the extent that notice is required to be given to Holders of Securities of any series by applicable Luxembourg law or stock exchange regulation, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered to such party, make a similar publication in Luxembourg. SECTION 3.10 SEC Reports. The Issuer shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it files such annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports with the Commission, copies of its annual report and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Issuer is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. ARTICLE FOUR SECURITYHOLDERS LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE ISSUER AND THE TRUSTEE SECTION 4.1 Issuer to Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and Addresses of Securityholders. If and so long as the Trustee shall not be the Security registrar for the Securities of any series, the Issuer and any other obligor on the Securities will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of the Registered Securities of such series pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (a) semi-annually not more than 5 days after each record date for the payment of interest on such Registered Securities, as hereinabove specified, as of such record date and on dates to be determined pursuant to Section 2.3 for non-interest bearing Registered Securities in each year, and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within thirty days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished. SECTION 4.2 Preservation and Disclosure of Securityholders Lists. This Section intentionally left blank. SECTION 4.3 Reports by the Issuer. The Issuer covenants to file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Issuer is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports that the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or pursuant to Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. SECTION 4.4 Reports by the Trustee. Any Trustee's report required under Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 shall be transmitted on or before January 15 in each year beginning January 15, 1992, as provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, so long as any Securities are Outstanding hereunder, and shall be dated as of a date convenient to the Trustee no more than 60 days prior thereto. ARTICLE FIVE REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT SECTION 5.1 Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default. "Event of Default" with respect to Securities of any series wherever used herein, means each one of the following events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal on any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or (c) default in the payment of any sinking fund installment as and when the same shall become due and payable by the terms of the Securities of such series; or (d) failure on the part of the Issuer duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Issuer in the Securities of such series (other than a covenant or agreement in respect of the Securities of such series a default in the performance or breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with) or contained in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure, stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder and demanding that the Issuer remedy the same, shall have been given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Issuer by the Trustee, or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby; or (e) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or of any Restricted Subsidiary for any substantial part of its or their property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its or their affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (f) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its or their property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (g) an event of default, as defined in any one or more mortgages, indentures, instruments, bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness (other than the Securities of such series or non-recourse obligations) ("Indebtedness") in excess of $10,000,000 for money borrowed by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary shall occur, if such event of default shall result in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its expressed maturity unless such Indebtedness is discharged or such acceleration is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled within 10 days after written notice thereof shall have been given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (treated as one class) which notice shall state that it is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or (h) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture under which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series; provided that if any such default or acceleration referred to in clause (g) above shall cease or be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured. If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (h) (if the Event of Default under clause (d) or (h), as the case may be, is with respect to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series of Securities the principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each such affected series then Outstanding hereunder (voting as a single class) by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any such affected series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities of all such affected series, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (h) (if the Event of Default under clause (d) or (h), as the case may be, is with respect to all series of Securities then Outstanding), (e), (f) or (g) occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding, and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all Securities of each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of each such series (or at the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under the Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein -- then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of each such series, or of all the Securities, in each case voting as a single class, then Outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to each such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) 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. For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities. SECTION 5.2 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. The Issuer covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series when such interest shall have 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 all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of such series or upon any redemption or by declaration or otherwise -- then upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities of such series, and such Coupons, for principal or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of any series to the registered holders, whether or not the Securities of such Series be overdue. In case the Issuer 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 action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest (or, if the Securities of any series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of any series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the holders of the Securities of any series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and (c) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person. All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or Coupons appertaining to such Securities or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities in respect of which such action was taken. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities in respect to which such action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities parties to any such proceedings. SECTION 5.3 Application of Proceeds. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of any series shall, subject to the subordination provisions hereof, be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities and Coupons appertaining to such Securities in respect of which monies have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities of such series in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities of like series if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses applicable to such series in respect of which monies have been collected, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith; SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such series in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal and interest or Yield to Maturity, without preference or priority of principal over interest or Yield to Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other person lawfully entitled thereto. SECTION 5.4 Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, 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 at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. SECTION 5.5 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 5.6 Limitations on Suits by Securityholders. No Holder of any Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each affected series then Outstanding (treated as a single class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings 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 failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.9; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security or Coupon with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series and Coupons appertaining to such Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. SECTION 5.7 Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security or Coupon to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Security or Coupon on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or Coupon, 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. SECTION 5.8 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default. Except as provided in Section 5.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 5.6, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons. SECTION 5.9 Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected (with all such series voting as a single class) 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 Securities of such series by this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and provided further that (subject to the provisions of Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities of all series so affected not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders. Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Securityholders. SECTION 5.10 Waiver of Past Defaults. Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of any Securities as provided in Section 5.1, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding with respect to which an event of default shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as a single class) may on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities waive any past default or Event of Default described in Section 5.1 and its consequences, except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all such Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 5.11 Trustee to Give Notice of Default, But May Withhold in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee (i) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.9, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg) and (ii) to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, unless in each case such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purpose of this Section being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment on such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such series. SECTION 5.12 Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security or Coupon by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series, or, in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (d) or (h) of Section 5.1 (if the suit relates to Securities of more than one but less than all series), l0% in aggregate principal amount of Securities then Outstanding and affected thereby, or in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (d) or (h) (if the suit under clause (d) or (h) relates to all the Securities then Outstanding), (e), (f) or (g) of Section 5.1, 10% in aggregate principal amount of all Securities then Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security or any date fixed for redemption. ARTICLE SIX CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 6.1 Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default; Prior to Default. With respect to the Holders of any series of Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a particular series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise with respect to such series of Securities 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. 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 wilful misconduct, except that (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to such series which may have occurred: (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations 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 statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, 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 Responsible 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 or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 5.9 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it. The provisions of this Section 6.1 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. SECTION 6.2 Certain Rights of the Trustee. In furtherance of and subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and subject to Section 6.1: (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security 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 Issuer mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer's Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Issuer; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any written advice or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby; (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected then Outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Issuer or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, shall be repaid by the Issuer upon demand; and (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys not regularly in its employ and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. SECTION 6.3 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of Securities or Application of Proceeds Thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or Coupons. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof. SECTION 6.4 Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities or Coupons; Collections, etc. The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent. SECTION 6.5 Moneys Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.4 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee 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 mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder. SECTION 6.6 Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim. The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it 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 agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or Coupons, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. SECTION 6.7 Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer's Certificate, etc. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an 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, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 6.8 Indentures Not Creating Potential Conflicting Interests for the Trustee. The following indentures are hereby specifically described for the purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939; this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any other series. SECTION 6.9 Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee for each series of Securities hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000, and which is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. Such corporation or banking association shall have a place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if there be such a corporation in such location willing to act upon reasonable and customary terms and conditions. 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, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10. The provisions of this Section 6.9 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. SECTION 6.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Issuer and (i) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.9, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (iii) by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of then Outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.12, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or 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 6.9 and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder; or (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator 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 Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, 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 of 1939, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or 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. (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the evidence provided for in Section 7.1 of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders. (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 6.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.11. SECTION 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 10.4, pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6. If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the 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 under separate indentures. No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9. Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the Issuer shall give notice thereof (a) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication of such notice at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.9, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (b) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall make such information available to the Issuer for such purpose) and (c) to the Holders of Registered Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 6.10. If the Issuer fails to give such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Issuer. SECTION 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. 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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9, without the execution or filing of any paper or any 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 trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of any series in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 6.13 This Section intentionally left blank. SECTION 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. As long as any Securities of a series remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, by an instrument in writing, appoint with the approval of the Issuer an authenticating agent (the "Authenticating Agent") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities, including Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or pursuant to Section 2.9. Securities of each such series authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee. Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities of any series by the Trustee or to 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 for such series and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by such Authenticating Agent. Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000 (determined as provided in Section 6.9 with respect to the Trustee) and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent with respect to all series of Securities for which it served as Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time, and if it shall cease to be eligible shall, resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.14 with respect to one or more series of Securities, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Issuer Order appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and the Issuer shall provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.4. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. The Issuer agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for such series from time to time reasonable compensation. The Authenticating Agent for the Securities of any series shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.6 and 7.3 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent. ARTICLE SEVEN CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS SECTION 7.1 Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Securityholders of any or all series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of Securityholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article. SECTION 7.2 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in the following manner: (a) 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 acknowledgments 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. 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 fact of the holding by any Holder of an Unregistered Security of any series, and the identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security of such series bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Unregistered Securities of one or more series specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Unregistered Securities of any series specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced, or (2) the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person, or (3) the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be Outstanding. Subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities of any series held by the person so executing such instrument and the amount and numbers of any Security or Securities for such series may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee for such series or in any other manner which the Trustee for such series may deem sufficient. (b) In the case of Registered Securities, the ownership of such Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the Security registrar. The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Registered Securities of any series entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 7.1, 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 Registered Securities of any series, only Holders of Registered 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 7.3 Holders to be Treated as Owners. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register for such series as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or Coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Security or Coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes and neither the Issuer, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Unregistered Security or Coupon. SECTION 7.4 Securities Owned by Issuer Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any or all series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the 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 Issuer or any other obligor on the 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, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer's Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer's Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. SECTION 7.5 Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor or on registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities affected by such action. ARTICLE EIGHT SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES SECTION 8.1 Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders. The Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order), and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following purposes: (a) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of one or more series any property or assets; (b) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Issuer, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer pursuant to Article Nine; (c) to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Issuer and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities or Coupons, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series to waive such an Event of Default; (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make any other provisions as the Issuer may deem necessary or desirable, provided that no such action shall adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons; (e) to establish the forms or terms of Securities of any series or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 2.3; and (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.11. The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuer 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, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.2. SECTION 8.2 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article Seven) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as one class), the Issuer, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order), and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities; provided, that no such supplemental indenture shall (a) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, or make the principal thereof (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), or interest thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Securities and Coupons or in accordance with the terms thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.1 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.2, or alter the provisions of Section 11.11 or 11.12 or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for the payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder, or, if the Securities provide therefor, the terms and provisions of conversion of any such Securities, in each case without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Security so affected. A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of such series, or of Coupons appertaining to such Securities, with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series or of the Coupons appertaining to such Securities. Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Issuer Order) certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Issuer authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of the Securities as aforesaid and other documents, if any, required by Section 7.1, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall give notice thereof (i) to the Holders of then Outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected thereby, by mailing a notice thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security register, (ii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected thereby are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, by mailing a notice thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (iii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected thereby are then Outstanding, to all Holders thereof, by publication of a notice thereof at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.9, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), and in each case such notice shall set forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Issuer to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. SECTION 8.3 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. SECTION 8.4 Documents to Be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, may receive an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article 8 complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture. SECTION 8.5 Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee for such series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken by Securityholders. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then Outstanding. SECTION 8.6 Subordination Unimpaired. This Indenture may not be amended to alter the subordination of any of the Outstanding Securities without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby. ARTICLE NINE CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE SECTION 9.1 Issuer May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms. The Issuer shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the Issuer shall not permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer, unless: (a) either the Issuer shall be the continuing corporation, or the corporation (if other than the Issuer formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or to which the properties and assets of the Issuer substantially as an entirety are transferred or leased shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Issuer under the Securities and this Indenture; (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Issuer or a Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Issuer or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and (c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, transfer or lease and any such supplemental indenture comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with. SECTION 9.2 Successor Corporation Substituted. The successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer is merged or to which such transfer or lease is made shall succeed to and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Issuer herein, and thereafter (except in the case of a lease to another Person) the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Securities and, in the event of such conveyance or transfer, any such predecessor corporation may be dissolved and liquidated.

Any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any paying agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of any series or Coupons attached thereto and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal or interest shall have become due and payable, shall, upon the written request of the Issuer and unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee for such series or such paying agent, and the Holder of the Securities of such series and of any Coupons appertaining thereto shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Issuer for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any paying agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make any such repayment with respect to moneys deposited with it for any payment (a) in respect of Registered Securities of any series, shall at the expense of the Issuer, mail by first-class mail to Holders of such Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security register, and (b) in respect of Unregistered Securities of any series, shall at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.9, once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), notice, that such moneys remain and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. SECTION 10.5 Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 10.1 or the principal or interest received in respect of such obligations. ARTICLE ELEVEN MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 11.1 Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of Issuer Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, or in any Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities and the Coupons appertaining thereto by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities and the Coupons appertaining thereto. SECTION 11.2 Provisions of Indenture for the Sole Benefit of Parties and Holders of Securities and Coupons. Nothing in this Indenture, in the Securities or in the Coupons appertaining thereto, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their successors and the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities or Coupons, if any, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities or Coupons, if any. SECTION 11.3 Successors and Assigns of Issuer Bound by Indenture. All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture contained by or in behalf of the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. SECTION 11.4 Notices and Demands on Issuer, Trustee and Holders of Securities and Coupons. Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons to or on the Issuer may be given or served by being deposited postage prepaid, first-class mail (except as otherwise specifically provided herein) addressed (until another address of the Issuer is filed by the Issuer with the Trustee) to SunAmerica Inc., 1 SunAmerica Center, Century City, Los, Angeles, California 90067-6022, Attention: Secretary. Any notice, direction, request or demand by the Issuer or any Holder of Securities or Coupons to or upon the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or served by being deposited postage prepaid, first-class mail (except as otherwise specifically provided herein) addressed (until another address of the Trustee is filed by the Trustee with the Issuer) to [_______________________________________], Attention: Corporate Trust Services Division. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Registered Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the Security register. In any case where notice to such Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Issuer when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. SECTION 11.5 Officer's Certificates and Opinions of Counsel; Statements to Be Contained Therein. Upon any application or demand by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished. Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include (a) a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition, (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based, (c) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with and (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with. Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Issuer or of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Issuer, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with and directed to the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is independent. SECTION 11.6 Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. If the date of maturity of interest on or principal of the Securities of any series or any Coupons appertaining thereto or the date fixed for redemption or repayment of any such Security or Coupon shall not be a Business Day, then payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date. SECTION 11.7 Conflict of Any Provision of Indenture with Trust Indenture Act of 1939. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by, or with another provision (an "incorporated provision") included in this Indenture by operation of, Sections 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, such imposed duties or incorporated provision shall control. SECTION 11.8 New York Law to Govern. This Indenture and each Security and Coupon shall be deemed to be a contract under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such State, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law. SECTION 11.9 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. SECTION 11.10 Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. SECTION 11.11 Securities in a Foreign Currency or in ECU. Unless otherwise specified in an Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Indenture with respect to a particular series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all series or all series affected by a particular action at the time Outstanding and, at such time, there are Outstanding Securities of any series which are denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars (including ECUs), then the principal amount of Securities of such series which shall be deemed to be Outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Section 11.11, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European Communities (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (such publication or any successor publication, the "Journal"). If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of ECUs, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal, as of the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange from one or more major banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question, which for purposes of the ECU shall be Brussels, Belgium, or such other quotations or, in the case of ECU, rates of exchange as the Trustee shall deem appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a series denominated in a currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture including without limitation any determination contemplated in Section 5.1(g). All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Issuer and all Holders. SECTION 11.12 Judgment Currency. The Issuer agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of any series (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, "New York Banking Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close. ARTICLE TWELVE REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS SECTION 12.1 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3 for Securities of such series. SECTION 12.2 Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Registered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the Issuer 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 such Holders of Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the registry books. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 prior to the date fixed for redemption, to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and, in the case of any such notice given by the Issuer, the Trustee shall make such information available to the Issuer for such purpose). Notice of redemption to all other Holders of Unregistered Securities shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 3.9, in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), in each case, once in each of three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal amount of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Securities with Coupons attached thereto, of all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.4) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 70 days prior to the date fixed for redemption an Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Issuer prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officer's Certificate stating that such restriction has been complied with. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities of such Series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. SECTION 12.3 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be void, and, except as provided in Sections 6.5 and 10.4, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable in the case of Securities with Coupons attached thereto, to the Holders of the Coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities, to the Holders of such Registered Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.3 and 2.7 hereof. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security) borne by such Security. If any Security with Coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and is not accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Issuer and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless. Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented. SECTION 12.4 Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer. SECTION 12.5 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the "sinking fund payment date". In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Issuer through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities. On or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 11.5) (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Issuer intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Issuer to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such Officer's Certificate (or reasonably promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officer's Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Issuer shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any such 60th day, to deliver such Officer's Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Issuer will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section. If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) or a lesser sum in Dollars (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) if the Issuer shall so request with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) or less and the Issuer makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 12.2, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer of the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for redemption under this Section if they are identified by registration and certificate number in an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such Officer's Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer (or the Issuer, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 12.2 (and with the effect provided in Section 12.3) for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Issuer. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity. On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date. The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or give any notice of redemption of Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the giving of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Issuer a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.10 or the default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities. ARTICLE THIRTEEN SUBORDINATION SECTION 13.1 Agreement to Subordinate. The Issuer, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security or Coupon, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and interest on, each and all of the Securities and any Coupons is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter in this Article 13 set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. SECTION 13.2 Rights of Senior Indebtedness in the Event of Insolvency, etc., of the Issuer. (a) In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to the Issuer or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Issuer, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, and in the event of any execution sale, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of principal thereof and interest due thereon (including without limitation, except to the extent, if any, prohibited by mandatory provisions of law, post-petition interest in any such proceedings) in money or money's worth of all Senior Indebtedness before the Holders are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities or of the Coupons, and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive for application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in connection with any such proceedings or sale in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities or Coupons other than securities of the Issuer as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Issuer or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article 13 with respect to the Securities or Coupons, to the payment of all indebtedness of the nature of Senior Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment; (b) In the event and during the continuation of any default in payment of any Senior Indebtedness or if any event of default, as therein defined, shall exist under any Senior Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness is issued, no payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities or Coupons shall be made and the Issuer covenants that it will, upon ascertaining any such default or event of default, provide written notice to the Trustee of such default or event of default; (c) In the event that the Securities of any series are declared due and payable before their expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default (under circumstances when the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 13.2 shall not be applicable), the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full in money or money's worth of such Senior Indebtedness before such Holders are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on the Securities or Coupons; and (d) No holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in his right to enforce subordination of the Securities or Coupons by any act or failure to act on the part of the Issuer. SECTION 13.3 Payment Over of Proceeds Received on Securities. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2, any payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Issuer as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Issuer or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article 13 with respect to the Securities or Coupons, to the payment of all indebtedness of the nature of Senior Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment) shall be received by the Holders or by the Trustee for their benefit in connection with any proceedings or sale referred to in subsection (a) of Section 13.2 before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in money or money's worth, such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in money or money's worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. From and after the payment in full in money or money's worth of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders (together with the holders of any other indebtedness of the Issuer which is subordinate in right of payment to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, which is not subordinate in right of payment to the Securities or Coupons and which by its terms grants such right of subrogation to the holder thereof) shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets or securities of the Issuer applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the Securities and any Coupons shall be paid in full, and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of assets or securities, which otherwise would have been payable or distributable to Holders, shall, as between the Issuer, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Issuer to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article 13 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand, and nothing contained in this Article 13 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities or Coupons is intended to or shall impair as between the Issuer, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders, the obligation of the Issuer, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the Securities or Coupons as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Issuer other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Security or Coupon from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, under Section 13.2, to receive cash, property or securities of the Issuer otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of the Securities or Coupons. Upon any distribution or payment in connection with any proceedings or sale referred to in subsection (a) of Section 13.2, the Trustee, subject as between the Trustee and the Holders to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution or payment to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining the holders of Senior Indebtedness entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the amount of such Senior Indebtedness or the amount payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 13. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 13.3, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Section 13.3, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment. The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith pay over or distribute to Holders or the Issuer or any other person moneys or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of Article 13 of this Indenture or otherwise. SECTION 13.4 Payments to Holders. Nothing contained in this Article 13 or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities or in any Coupon, shall prevent at any time, (a) the Issuer from making payments at any time of principal of or interest on the Securities or Coupons, except under the conditions described in Section 13.2 or during the pendency of any proceedings or sale therein referred to, provided, however, that payments of principal of or interest on the Securities or Coupons shall only be made by the Issuer within three business days of the due dates for such payments or (b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Securities or Coupons, if at the time of such deposit the Trustee did not have written notice in accordance with Section 13.6 of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Issuer or if in the event of redemption, the Trustee did not have such written notice prior to the time that the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 12.2 was given (which notice of redemption shall in no event be given more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption). SECTION 13.5 Holders of Securities Authorize Trustee to Effectuate Subordination of Securities. Each Holder by his acceptance of a Security or Coupon authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 13 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of the Issuer, the immediate filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of such Holder's Securities or Coupons in the form required in said proceedings and cause said claim to be approved. SECTION 13.6 Notice to Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 13 or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with the knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to the Trustee, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Issuer or from the holder or the representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that if at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of either the cash amount payable at maturity or interest on any Security or Coupon) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such monies the notice provided for in this Section 13.6, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, which may be received by it on or after such two Business Days prior to such date. SECTION 13.7 Trustee May Hold Senior Indebtedness. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.13, the Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 13 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness. SECTION 13.8 Applicability of Article 13 to Paying Agents. In case at any time any paying agent other than the Trustee shall be appointed by the Issuer and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article 13 shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such paying agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such paying agent were named in this Article 13 in place of the Trustee.

Prior to the initial issuance of Debentures of any series, there shall be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officers' Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto: (1) the title of the Debentures of the series (which shall distinguish the Debentures of the series from all other Debentures); (2) any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of that series which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (except for Debentures authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Debentures of that series): (3) the date or dates on which the principal of the Debentures of the series is payable; (4) the rate or rates at which the Debentures of the series shall bear interest or the manner of calculation of such rate or rates, if any; (5) the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest will be payable or the manner of determination of such Interest Payment Dates and the record date for the determination of holders to whom interest is payable on any such Interest Payment Dates; (6) the right, if any, to extend the interest payment periods and the duration of such extension; (7) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions upon which, Debentures of the series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company; (8) the obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem or purchase Debentures of the series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions (including payments made in cash in anticipation of future sinking fund obligations) or at the option of a holder thereof and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which, and the terms and conditions upon which, Debentures of the series shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation; (9) the form of the Debentures of the series including the form of the Certificate of Authentication for such series; (10) if other than denominations of $25 or any integral multiple thereof, the denominations in which the Debentures of the series shall be issuable; (11) any and all other terms with respect to such series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture); and (12) whether the Debentures are issuable as a Global Debenture and, in such case, the identity of the Depository for such series. (13) If the Debentures of such series are to be deposited as trust assets in a SunAmerica Capital Trust the name of the applicable SunAmerica Capital Trust (which shall distinguish such statutory business trust from all other SunAmerica Capital Trusts) into which the Debentures of such series are to be deposited as trust assets and the date of its Declaration of Trust. All Debentures of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to any such Board Resolution or in any indenture supplemental hereto. If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. SECTION 2.02. The Debentures of any series and the Trustee's certificate of authentication to be borne by such Debentures shall be substantially of the tenor and purport as set forth in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or as provided in a Board Resolution and as set forth in an Officers' Certificate, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Debentures of that series may be listed, or to conform to usage. SECTION 2.03. The Debentures shall be issuable as registered Debentures and in the denominations of $25 or any integral multiple thereof, subject to Section 2.01(10). The Debentures of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate specified with respect to that series. The principal of and the interest on the Debentures of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York. Each Debenture shall be dated the date of its authentication. Interest on the Debentures shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. The interest installment on any Debenture which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Debentures of that series shall be paid to the person in whose name said Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Debentures) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment. In the event that any Debenture of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Debenture will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Debenture as provided in Section 3.03. Any interest on any Debenture which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Debentures of the same series (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below: (1) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Debentures to the persons in whose names such Debentures (or their respective Predecessor Debentures) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Debenture and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Debentureholder at his or her address as it appears in the Debenture Register (as hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names such Debentures (or their Predecessor Debentures) are registered on such special record date and shall be no longer payable pursuant to the following clause (2). (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Debentures in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Debentures may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Debentures pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term "regular record date" as used in this Section with respect to a series of Debentures with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is business day. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Debenture of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debenture of such series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debenture. SECTION 2.04. The Debentures shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.06, be printed on steel engraved borders or fully or partially engraved, or legibly typed, as the proper officers of the Company may determine, and shall be signed on behalf of the Company by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of its Board of Directors or its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, President or a Vice President and/or the signature of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary in attestation of the corporate seal, upon the Debentures, may be in the form of a facsimile signature of a present or any future Chairman, Vice Chairman, President or Vice President and of a present or any future Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debentures and for that purpose the Company may use the facsimile signature of any person who shall have been a Chairman, Vice Chairman, President or Vice President, or of any person who shall have been a Secretary or Assistant Secretary, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Debentures shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such person shall have ceased to be the Chairman, Vice Chairman, President or a Vice President, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company, as the case may be. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile of the seal of the Company and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Debentures. Only such Debentures as shall bear thereon a Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form established for such Debentures, executed manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by any Authenticating Agent with respect to such Debentures, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate executed by the Trustee, or by any Authenticating Agent appointed by the Trustee with respect to such Debentures, upon any Debenture executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Debentures of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Debentures, signed by its President or any Vice President and its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such Debentures. In authenticating such Debentures and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debentures, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debentures if the issue of such Debentures pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Debentures and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. SECTION 2.05. (a) Debentures of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, for other Debentures of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any Debentures so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Debenture or Debentures of the same series which the Debentureholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. (b) The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by the Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the "Debenture Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Debentures and the transfers of Debentures as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Debentures and transfer of Debentures as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution (the "Debenture Registrar"). Upon surrender for transfer of any Debenture at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debenture or Debentures of the same series as the Debenture presented for a like aggregate principal amount. All Debentures presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Debenture Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Debenture Registrar, duly executed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney in writing. (c) No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debentures, or issue of new Debentures in case of partial redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, the second paragraph of Section 3.03 and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer. (d) The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Debentures during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the outstanding Debentures of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debentures of any series or portions thereof called for redemption. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Debenture, subject to Section 2.11 hereof. SECTION 2.06. Pending the preparation of definitive Debentures of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debentures (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Debentures in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debentures, all as may be determined by the Company. Every temporary Debenture of any series shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Debentures of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive Debentures of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Debentures of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Debentures an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debentures of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that definitive Debentures need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debentures of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debentures of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder. SECTION 2.07. In case any temporary or definitive Debenture shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon its request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Debenture of the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Debenture, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Debenture so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Debenture 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 the applicant's Debenture and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Debenture and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debenture, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Debenture which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Debenture, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debenture) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debenture and of the ownership thereof. Every Debenture issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section in substitution for any Debenture which is mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debentures of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Debentures 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 Debentures, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 2.08. All Debentures surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and no Debentures shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Debentures held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Debentures in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Debentures, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debentures unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.09. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Debentures, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Debentures, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Debentures. SECTION 2.10. So long as any of the Debentures of any series remain outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Debentures which the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debentures of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Debentures 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. All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Debentures by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series except for authentication upon original issuance or pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation which has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and which is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto. SECTION 2.11. (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Debentures of a particular series are to be issued as one or more Global Debentures, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, one or more Global Debentures which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding Debentures of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depository or pursuant to the Depository's instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Debenture may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depository or to a successor Depository or to a nominee of such successor Depository." (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Debenture of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.05, only to another nominee of the Depository for such series, or to a successor Depository for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depository. (c) If at any time the Depository for a series of Debentures notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such series or if at any time the Depository for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation and a successor Depository for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Debentures of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Debentures of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Debentures of such series in exchange for such Global Debenture. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Debentures of any series shall no longer be represented by one or more Global Debentures and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Debentures of such series. In such event the Company will execute and subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver Debentures of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Debentures of such series in exchange for such Global Debentures. Upon the exchange of the Global Debentures for such Debentures in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Debentures shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Debentures in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Debentures pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Debentures to the Depository for delivery to the persons in whose names such Debentures are so registered. ARTICLE THREE REDEMPTION OF DEBENTURES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS SECTION 3.01. The Company may redeem the Debentures of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof. SECTION 3.02. (a) In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Debentures of any series in accordance with the right reserved so to do, it shall give notice of such redemption to holders of the Debentures of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Debenture Register. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Debenture of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debentures of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Debentures prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Debentures or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Debentures of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Debentures to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue and that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Debentures of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Debentures of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Debentures to be so redeemed. In case any Debenture is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Debenture shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Debenture, a new Debenture or Debentures of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. (b) If less than all the Debentures of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days' notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and which may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to $25 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Debentures of a denomination larger than $25, the Debentures to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Debentures to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Debentures of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Debenture Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section. SECTION 3.03. (a) If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Debentures or portions of Debentures of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Debentures or portions of Debentures shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such Debenture or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Debentures on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Debentures shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03). (b) Upon presentation of any Debenture of such series which is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Debenture is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture or Debentures of the same series, of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debenture so presented. SECTION 3.04. The provisions or Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Debentures of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by section 2.01 for Debentures of such series. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Debentures of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Debentures of any series is herein referred to as on "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Debentures for any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Debentures of any series as provided for by the terms of Debentures of such series. SECTION 3.05. The Company (i) may deliver outstanding Debentures of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (ii) may apply as a credit Debentures of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Debentures or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Debentures, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Debentures of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Debentures as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Debentures have not been previously so credited. Such Debentures shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Debentures for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. SECTION 3.06. Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Debentures, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms for that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debentures of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officers' Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Debentures to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Debentures to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Debentures shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03. ARTICLE FOUR Particular Covenants of the Company The Company covenants and agrees for each series of the Debentures as follows: SECTION 4.01. The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debentures of that series at the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such Debentures. SECTION 4.02. So long as any series of the Debentures remain outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, with respect to each such series and at such other location or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Debentures of that series may be presented for payment, (ii) Debentures of that series may be presented as hereinabove authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debentures of that series and this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its President or a Vice President and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. SECTION 4.03. (a) If the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Debentures, other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying agency to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section: (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Debentures of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Debentures) in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled thereto: (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Debentures) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Debentures of that series when the same shall be due and payable; (3) that it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and (4) that it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture. (b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the Debentures, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Debentures of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Debentures of that series until such sums shall be paid to such persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Debentures) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Debentures, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Debentures of that series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. (c) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. SECTION 4.04. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder. ARTICLE FIVE Debentureholders' Lists and Reports by the Company and the Trustee SECTION 5.01. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee (a) on a monthly basis on each regular record date (as defined in Section 2.03) a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the holders of each series of Debentures as of such regular record date, provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to furnish or cause to furnish such list at any time that the list shall not differ in any respect from the most recent list furnished to the Trustee by the Company and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, no such list need be furnished for any series for which the Trustee shall be the Debenture Registrar. SECTION 5.02. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Debentures contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 and as to the names and addresses of holders of Debentures received by the Trustee in its capacity as Debenture Registrar (if acting in such capacity). (b) The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. (c) In case three or more holders of Debentures of a series (hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Debenture for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other holders of Debentures of such series or holders of all Debentures with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Debentures, and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either: (1) afford to such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02; or (2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of holders of Debentures of such series or of all Debentures, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Debentureholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application. (d) If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each holder of such series or of all Debentures, as the case may be, whose name and address appears in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02, a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the holders of Debentures of such series or of all Debentures, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Debentureholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise, the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. (e) Each and every holder of the Debentures, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Debentures in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b). SECTION 5.03. (a) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 (d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such sections, then to file with the Trustee and the Commission in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations. (b) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants provided for in this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations. (c) The Company covenants and agrees to transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, or reputable over-night delivery service which provides for evidence of receipt, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission. (d) The Company covenants and agrees to furnish to the Trustee, on or before May 15 in each calendar year in which any of the Debentures are outstanding, or on or before such other day in each calendar year as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree upon, a Certificate as to his or her knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture. For purposes of this subsection (d), such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture. SECTION 5.04. (a) On or before July 15 in each year in which any of the Debentures are outstanding, the Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register, a brief report dated as of the preceding May 15, with respect to any of the following events which may have occurred within the previous twelve months (but if no such event has occurred within such period no report need be transmitted): (1) any change to its eligibility under Section 7.09, and its qualifications under Section 7.08; (2) the creation of or any material change to a relationship specified in paragraphs (1) through (10) of subsection (c) of Section 7.08; (3) the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee (as such) which remain unpaid on the date of such report, and for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge, prior to that of the Debentures, on any property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee if such advances so remaining unpaid aggregate more than 1/2 of 1% of the principal amount of the Debentures outstanding on the date of such report; (4) any change to the amount, interest rate, and maturity date of all other indebtedness owing by the Company, or by any other obligor on the Debentures, to the Trustee in its individual capacity, on the date of such report, with a brief description of any property held as collateral security therefor, except any indebtedness based upon a creditor relationship arising in any manner described in paragraph (2), (3), (4), or (6) of subsection (b) of Section 7.13; (5) any change to the property and funds, if any, physically in the possession of the Trustee as such on the date of such report; (6) any release, or release and substitution, of property subject to the lien of this Indenture (and the consideration thereof, if any) which it has not previously reported; (7) any additional issue of Debentures which the Trustee has not previously reported; and (8) any action taken by the Trustee in the performance of its duties under this Indenture which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Debentures or the Debentures of any series, except any action in respect of a default, notice of which has been or is to be withheld by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.07. (b) The Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register, a brief report with respect to the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee as such since the date of the last report transmitted pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section (or if no such report has yet been so transmitted, since the date of execution of this Indenture), for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge prior to that of the Debentures of any series on property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee, and which it has not previously reported pursuant to this subsection if such advances remaining unpaid at any time aggregate more than 10% of the principal amount of Debentures of such series outstanding at such time, such report to be transmitted within 90 days after such time. (c) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Debentureholders, be filed by the Trustee with the Company, with each stock exchange upon which any Debentures are listed (if so listed) and also with the Commission. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee when any Debentures become listed on any stock exchange. ARTICLE SIX Remedies of the Trustee and Debentureholders on Event of Default SECTION 6.01. (a) Whenever used herein with respect to Debentures of a particular series, "Event of Default" means any one or more of the following events which has occurred and is continuing: (1) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Debentures of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto, shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Debentures of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaring or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series; (3) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company with respect to that series contained in such Debentures or otherwise established with respect to that series of Debentures pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof or contained in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement which has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Debentures other than such series) for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debentures of that series at the time outstanding; (4) a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered adjudging the Company as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking liquidation or reorganization of the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, and such decree or order shall have continued unvacated and unstayed for a period of 90 days; or an involuntary case shall be commenced under such Code in respect of the Company and shall continue undismissed for a period of 90 days or an order for relief in such case shall have been entered; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered for the appointment on the ground of insolvency or bankruptcy of a receiver or custodian or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or of its property, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall have remained in force unvacated and unstayed for a period of 90 days; or (5) 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 liquidation or 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 on the ground of insolvency or bankruptcy of a receiver or custodian or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of its property, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors. (b) In each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Debentures of that series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of that series then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Debentureholders), may declare the principal of all the Debentures of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Debentures of that series or established with respect to that series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof to the contrary notwithstanding. (c) Section 6.01(b), however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Debentures of that series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Debentures of that series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Debentures of that series which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Debentures of that series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06, and any and all defaults under the Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal on Debentures of that series which shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06 then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of that series then outstanding (subject to, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of the holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust), by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences with respect to that series of Debentures; but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. (d) In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Debentures of that series 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 former 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. (e) If, prior to a Security Exchange with respect to the Debentures of any series, a Default with respect to the Debentures of such series shall have occurred, the Company expressly acknowledges that under the circumstances set forth in the applicable Declaration of Trust, any holder of Preferred Securities of the applicable SunAmerica Capital Trust may enforce directly against the Company the applicable Property Trustee's rights hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing and for the avoidance of any doubt, the Company acknowledges that, under the circumstances described in the applicable Declaration of Trust, any such holder of Preferred Securities, in its own name, in the name of the applicable SunAmerica Capital Trust or in the name of the holders of the Preferred Securities issued by such SunAmerica Capital Trust, may institute or cause to be instituted a proceeding, including, without limitation, any suit in equity, an action at law or other judicial or administrative proceeding, to enforce the applicable Property Trustee's rights hereunder directly against the Company as issuer of the applicable series of Debentures, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and enforce the same against the Company. SECTION 6.02. (a) The Company covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Debentures of a series, or any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 10 business days, or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Debentures of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Debentures of a series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Debentures of that series, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Debentures for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law and without duplication of any other amounts paid by the Company or the applicable SunAmerica Capital Trust in respect thereof) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Debentures of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06. (b) 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 action 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 other obligor upon the Debentures of that series and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Debentures of that series wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. (c) In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition or other judicial proceedings affecting the Company, any other obligor on such Debentures, or the creditors or property of either, the Trustee shall have the power to intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Debentures of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the Company or such other obligor under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by the Company or such other obligor after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Debentures of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Debentureholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06. (d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to Debentures of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Debentures, or the production thereof at 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, after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Debentures of such series. 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 at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in the 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. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Debentureholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debentures of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Debentureholder in any such proceeding. SECTION 6.03. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 with respect to a particular series of Debentures shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the several Debentures of that series, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Debentures of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Debentures for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively. SECTION 6.04. No holder of any Debenture of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to Debentures of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of such series then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such 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 failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Debenture of such series with every other such taker and holder and Trustee, that no one or more holders of Debentures of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Debentures, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Debentures of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Debentureholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, however, the right of any holder of any Debenture to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Debenture, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder. SECTION 6.05. (a) All powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any others thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the debentures, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Debentures. (b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Debentures to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of 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 or by law to the Trustee or to the Debentureholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debentureholders. SECTION 6.06. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of any series at the time outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04 (with, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust), 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 such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Debentures of any other series at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 not parties thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of any series at the time outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with section 8.04 (with, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust), may on behalf of the holders of all of the Debentures of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Debentures of that series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Debentures otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)) or a call for redemption of Debentures of that series. Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debentures of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 6.07. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to a particular series, transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the holders of Debentures of that series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register, notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purposes of this Section being hereby defined to be the events specified in subsections (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) of Section 6.01(a), not including any periods of grace provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of notice provided for by subsection (3) of Section 6.01(a)); provided, that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Debentures of that series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment established with respect to that series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers, of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of Debentures of that series; provided further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 6.01(a)(3) with respect to Debentures of such series no such notice to the holders of the Debentures of that series shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default, except (i) a default under subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) of Section 6.01 as long as the Trustee is acting as paying agent for such series of Debentures or (ii) any default as to which the Trustee shall have received written notice or a Responsible Officer charged with the administration of this Indenture shall have obtained written notice. SECTION 6.08. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Debentures by his or her acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder, or group of Debentureholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Debentureholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debenture of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debenture or established pursuant to this Indenture. ARTICLE SEVEN Concerning the Trustee SECTION 7.01. (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Debentures of a series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to Debentures of that series which may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to Debentures of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to Debentures of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Debentures of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. (b) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (1) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Debentures of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to that series which may have occurred: (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to Debentures of such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to Debentures of such series 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 with respect to Debentures of such series 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; (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures of any series at the time outstanding 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 the Debentures of that series; and (4) none of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 7.02. Except as otherwise provided in 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, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to the 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 a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company by the President or any Vice President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein); (c) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon; (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 Debentureholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Debentureholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing herein contained shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Debentures (which has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to Debentures of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to 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; (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken 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 investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents, unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures of the particular series affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and (g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents 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. SECTION 7.03. (a) The recitals contained herein and in the Debentures (other than the Certificate of Authentication on the Debentures) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. (b) The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debentures. (c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Debentures or of the proceeds of such Debentures, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee. SECTION 7.04. The Trustee or any paying agent or Debenture Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debentures with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Debenture Registrar. SECTION 7.05. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee 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. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon. SECTION 7.06. (a) 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) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. (b) The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Debentures upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Debentures. SECTION 7.07. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, 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 or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 7.08. (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section, with respect to the Debentures of any series and if the Default to which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured, duly waived or otherwise eliminated, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, it shall either eliminate such conflicting interest, except as otherwise provided herein, or resign with respect to the Debentures of that series in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10 and the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee in the manner provided herein. (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, with respect to the Debentures of any series the Trustee shall, within ten days after the expiration of such 90-day period, transmit notice of such failure by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders of that series as their names and addresses appear upon the registration books. (c) For the purposes of this Section the Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Debentures of any series if a Default has occurred and is continuing and: (1) the Trustee is trustee under this Indenture with respect to the outstanding Debentures of any series other than that series, or is trustee under another indenture under which any other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any other securities, of the Company are outstanding, unless such other indenture is a collateral trust indenture under which the only collateral consists of Debentures issued under this Indenture; provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of this paragraph the Debentures of any series other than that series and any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding if (i) this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures and all series of securities issuable thereunder are wholly unsecured and rank equally and such other indenture or indentures (and such series) are hereafter qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, unless the Commission shall have found and declared by order pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 305 or subsection (c) of Section 307 of the Trust Indenture Act, that differences exist between (A) the provisions of this Indenture with respect to Debentures of that series and with respect to one or more other series or (B) the provisions of this Indenture and the provisions of such other indenture or indentures (or such series), which are so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this Indenture with respect to the Debentures of that series and such other series or such other indenture or indentures, or (ii) the Company shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that the trusteeship under this Indenture with respect to Debentures of that series and such other series or such other indenture or indentures is not so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this Indenture with respect to Debentures of that series and such other series or under such other indentures; (2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is an underwriter for the Company; (3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with or an underwriter for the Company; (4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee or representative of the Company, or of an underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for the Company who is currently engaged in the business of underwriting, except that (A) one individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director and/or an executive officer of the Company, but may not be at the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and the Company; (B) if and so long as the number of directors of the Trustee in office is more than nine, one additional individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director of the Company; and (C) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or by an underwriter for the Company to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent, or depository, or in any other similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), to act as trustee whether under an indenture or otherwise; (5) 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by the Company or by any director, partner, or executive officer thereof, or 20% or more of such voting securities is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more of such persons; or 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for the Company or by any director, partner, or executive officer thereof, or is beneficially owned, collectively by any two or more such persons; (6) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as hereinafter in this subsection (c) defined), (A) 5% or more of the voting securities, or 10% or more of any other class of security, of the Company, not including the Debentures issued under this Indenture and securities issued under any other indenture under which the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) 10% or more of any class of security of an underwriter for the Company; (7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as hereinafter in this subsection (c) defined), 5% or more of the voting securities of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 10% or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with, the Company; (8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as hereinafter in this subsection (c) defined), 10% or more of any class of security of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 50% or more of the voting securities of the Company; (9) the Trustee owns, on the date of Default upon the Debentures of any series or any anniversary of such Default while such Default upon the Debentures issued under this Indenture remains outstanding, in the capacity of executor, administrator, testamentary or inter vivos trustee, guardian, committee or conservator, or in any other similar capacity, an aggregate of 25% or more of the voting securities, or of any class of security, of any person, the beneficial ownership of a specified percentage of which would have constituted a conflict interest under paragraph (6), (7), or (8) of this subsection (c). As to any such securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary trustee of an estate which includes them, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, for a period of two years from the date of such acquisition, to the extent that such securities in such estate do not exceed 25% of such voting securities or 25% of any such class of security. Promptly after the dates of any such Default upon the Debentures issued under this Indenture and annually in each succeeding year that the Debentures issued under this Indenture remain in Default, the Trustee shall make a check of its holding of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of such dates. If the Company fails to make payment in full of principal of or interest on any of the Debentures when and as the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for 30 days thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of its holding of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the expiration of such 30-day period, and after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (9), all such securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure shall continue, be considered as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7) and (8) of this subsection (c); or (10) except under the circumstances described in paragraph (1), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of subsection (b) of Section 7.13 the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor of the Company. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), and of Section 6.06, the term "series of securities" or "securities" means a series, class or group of securities issuable under an indenture pursuant to whose terms holders of one such series may vote to direct the indenture trustee, or otherwise take action pursuant to a vote of such holders, separately from holders of another such series; provided, that, "series of securities" or "series" shall not include any series of securities issuable under an indenture if all such series rank equally and are wholly secured. The specification of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this subsection (c) shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such percentages of securities of a person is or is not necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (c). For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subsection (c) only, (A) the terms "security" and "securities" shall include only such securities as are generally known as corporate securities, but shall not include any note or other evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an obligation to repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks, trust companies or banking firms, or any certificate of interest or participation in any such note or evidence of indebtedness; (B) an obligation shall be deemed to be in "default", when a default in payment of principal shall have continued for 30 days or more and shall not have been cured; and (C) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be the owner or holder of (i) any security which it holds as collateral security (as trustee or otherwise) for any obligation which is not in default as defined in clause (B) above, or (ii) any security which it holds as collateral security under this Indenture, irrespective of any Default hereunder, or (iii) any security which it holds as agent for collection, or as custodian, escrow agent or depositary, or in any similar representative capacity. Except as above provided, the word "security" or securities" as used in this Indenture shall mean any note, stock, treasury stock, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral trust certificate, pre-organization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a "security", or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing. (d) For the purposes of this Section: (1) The term "underwriter" when used with reference to the Company shall mean every person, who, within one year prior to the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased from the Company with a view to, or has offered or sold for the Company in connection with, the distribution of any security of the Company, or has participated or has had a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking, but such term shall not include a person whose interest was limited to a commission from an underwriter or dealer not in excess of the usual and customary distributors' or sellers' commission. (2) The term "director" shall mean any member of the board of directors of a corporation or any individual performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated. (3) The term "person" shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint-stock company, a trust, an unincorporated organization or a government or political subdivision thereof. As used in this paragraph, the term "trust" shall include only a trust where the interest or interests of the beneficiary or beneficiaries are evidenced by a security. (4) The term "voting security" shall mean any security presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a person, or any security issued under or pursuant to any trust, agreement or arrangement whereby a trustee or trustees or agent or agents for the owner or holder of such security are presently entitled to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a person. (5) The term "Company" shall mean any obligor upon the Debentures. (6) The term "executive officer" shall mean the chairman of the board of directors, president, every vice president, every assistant vice president, every trust officer, the cashier, the secretary, and the treasurer of a corporation, and any individual customarily performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated. (e) The percentages of voting securities and other securities specified in this Section shall be calculated in accordance with the following provisions: (1) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the Trustee, the Company or any other person referred to in this Section (each of whom is referred to as a "person" in this paragraph) means such amount of the outstanding voting securities of such person as entitles the holder or holders thereof to cast such specified percentage of the aggregate votes which the holders of all the outstanding voting securities of such person are entitled to cast in the direction or management of the affairs of such person. (2) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a person means such percentage of the aggregate amount of securities of the class outstanding. (3) The term "amount", when used in regard to securities, means the principal amount if relating to evidences of indebtedness, the number of shares if relating to capital shares and the number of units if relating to any other kind of security. (4) The term "outstanding" means issued and not held by or for the account of the issuer. The following securities shall not be deemed outstanding within the meaning of this definition: (i) securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to securities of the issuer of the same class; (ii) securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to another class of securities of the issuer, if the obligation evidenced by such other class of securities is not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise; (iii) securities pledged by the issuer thereof as security for an obligation of the issuer not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise; and (iv) securities held in escrow if placed in escrow by the issuer thereof, provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall be deemed outstanding if any person other than the issuer is entitled to exercise the voting rights thereof. (5) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as another security if both securities confer upon the holder or holders thereof substantially the same rights and privileges; provided, however, that, in the case of secured evidences of indebtedness, all of which are issued under a single indenture, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates of various series thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute such series different classes; and provided, further, that, in the case of unsecured evidences of indebtedness, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute them securities of different classes, whether or not they are issued under a single indenture. (f) Except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debentures issued under this Indenture, or in the payment of any sinking or analogous fund installment, the Trustee shall not be required to resign as provided by this Section 7.08 if such Trustee shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that (i) the default under the Indenture may be cured or waived during a reasonable period and under the procedures described in such application and (ii) a stay of the Trustee's duty to resign will not be inconsistent with the interests of Debentureholders. The filing of such an application shall automatically stay the performance of the duty to resign until the Commission orders otherwise. Any resignation of the Trustee shall become effective only upon the appointment of a successor trustee and such successor's acceptance of such an appointment. SECTION 7.09. There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Debentures issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least 50 million dollars, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company may not, nor may any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. SECTION 7.10. (a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Debentures of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Debentures of such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, 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 and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Debentures of such series, or any Debentureholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appointment a successor trustee. (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures for at least six months; or (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Debentureholder; or (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Debentures and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, unless the Trustee's duty to resign is stated as provided herein, any Debentureholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Debenture or Debentures 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. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. (c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of any series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series and appoint a successor trustee. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Debentures of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. (e) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with respect to the Debentures of one or more series or all of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Debentures of any particular series. SECTION 7.11. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Debentures, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Debentures of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Debentures of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debentures of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (2) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debentures of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Debentures of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debentures of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Debentures of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates. (c) Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights, power and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. (d) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. (e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Debentureholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Debenture Register. If the Company fails to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the Company. SECTION 7.12. 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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Debentures shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debentures so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Debentures. SECTION 7.13. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company within three months prior to a default, as defined in subsection (b) of this Section, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the holders of the Debentures and the holders of other indenture securities (as defined in subsection (c) of this Section): (1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or interest, effected after the beginning of such three months' period and valid as against the Company and its other creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property described in paragraph (2) of this subsection, or from the exercise of any right of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Company upon the date of such default; and (2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claim as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such three months' period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of the Company and its other creditors in such property or such proceeds. Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee: (A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any such claim by any person (other than the Company) who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities, or other property in respect of claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law; (B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the beginning of such three months' period; (C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such three months' period and such property was received as security therefor simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such property was so received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section, would occur within three months; or (D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or (C), against the release of any property held as security for such claim as provided in such paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of the fair value of such property. For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property substituted after the beginning of such three months' period for property held as security at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such pre-existing claim. If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned between the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall include any distribution with respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities, or other property, but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or a case for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion between the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee, the Debentureholders and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula. Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such three months' period shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) as though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such three months' period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) if and only if the following conditions exist: (i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which would have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued as trustee, occurred after the beginning of such three months' period; and (ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within three months after such resignation or removal. (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this Section a creditor relationship arising from: (1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee; (2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, or by this Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property other than cash which shall at any time be subject to the lien, if any, of this Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advance and of the circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the Debentureholders at the time and in the manner provided in this Indenture; (3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, subscription agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar capacity; (4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises rented; or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in subsection (c) of this Section; (5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a Company organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly a creditor of the Company; or (6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptance or obligations which fall within the classification of self-liquidating paper as defined in subsection (c) of this Section. (c) As used in this Section: (1) The term "default" shall mean any failure to make payment in full of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest upon any of the Debenture or upon the other indenture securities when and as such principal (or premium, if any) or interest becomes due and payable. (2) The term "other indenture securities" shall mean securities upon which the Company is an obligor (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act) outstanding under any other indenture (A) under which the Trustee is also trustee, (B) which contains provisions substantially similar to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, and (C) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property held in said special account. (3) The term "cash transaction" shall mean any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand. (4) The term "self-liquidating paper" shall mean any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacture, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon , the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. (5) The term "Company" shall mean any obligor upon any of the Debentures. ARTICLE EIGHT Concerning the Debentureholders SECTION 8.01. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of a particular 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 majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Debentures of that series in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. If the Company shall solicit from the Debentureholders of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination of Debentureholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Debentureholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Debentureholders for the purposes of determining whether Debentureholders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Debentures of that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the outstanding Debentures of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Debentureholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. SECTION 8.02. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Debentureholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any person of any of the Debentures shall be sufficient if made in the following manner; (a) The fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee. (b) The ownership of Debentures shall be proved by the Debenture Register of such Debentures or by a certificate of the Debenture Registrar thereof. (c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary. SECTION 8.03. Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debenture, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Debenture Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name such Debenture shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Debenture (whether or not such Debenture shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Debenture Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Debenture and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Debenture Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. SECTION 8.04. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Debentures of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Debentures of that series which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Debentures of that series or by any Subsidiary of the Company or of such other obligor on the Debentures of that series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Debentures of such series which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Debentures so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Debentures 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 or any such other obligor. In 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. 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 majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Debenture of that series which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debentures the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debenture. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Debenture, and of any Debenture issued in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debenture. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Debentures of that series. ARTICLE NINE Supplemental Indentures SECTION 9.01. In addition to any supplemental indenture otherwise authorized by this Indenture, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent of the Debentureholders, for one or more of the following purposes: (a) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company contained herein or otherwise established with respect to the Debentures; or (b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders of the Debentures of all or any series as the Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the holders of Debentures of all or any series, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a default or an Event of Default with respect to such series permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of such series to waive such default; or (c) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture and shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Debentures of any series; or (d) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Debenture outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision. The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Debentures at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02. SECTION 9.02. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debentures of each series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time outstanding (and, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Debentures of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Debentures of any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Debenture so affected or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Debenture (and, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of the holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust) then outstanding and affected thereby. Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Debentureholders (and, in the case of any series of Debentures held as trust assets of a SunAmerica Capital Trust and with respect to which a Security Exchange has not theretofore occurred, such consent of holders of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities of such SunAmerica Capital Trust as may be required under the Declaration of Trust of such SunAmerica Capital Trust) required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Debentureholders of any series affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

SECTION 9.04. Debentures of any series, affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Debentures of that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Debentures of that series then outstanding. SECTION 9.05. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof.

SECTION 14.02. (a) In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, and in the event of any execution sale, then the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of principal thereof and interest due thereon (including without limitation, except to the extent, if any, prohibited by mandatory provisions of law, post-petition interest in any such proceedings) in money of all Senior Indebtedness before the holders of Debentures are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Debentures, and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive for application in payment thereof any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in connection with any such proceedings or sale in respect of the principal of or interest on the Debentures other than securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article Fourteen with respect to the Debentures, to the payment of all indebtedness of the nature of Senior Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment; (b) In the event and during the continuation of any default in payment of any Senior Indebtedness or if any event of default, as therein defined, shall exist under any Senior Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness is issued, no payment of the principal of, premium if any, or interest on the Debentures shall be made and the Company covenants that it will, upon ascertaining any such default or event of default, provide written notice to the Trustee of such default or event of default; (c) In the event that the Debentures of any series are declared due and payable before their expressed maturity because of the occurrence of an Event of Default (under circumstances when the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 14.02 shall not be applicable), the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full in money of such Senior Indebtedness before such holders of Debentures are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on the Debentures; and (d) No holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in his right to enforce subordination of the Debentures by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company. SECTION 14.03 In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.02, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article Fourteen with respect to the Debentures, to the payment of all indebtedness of the nature of Senior Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment) shall be received by the holders or by the Trustee for their benefit in connection with any proceedings or sale referred to in subsection (a) of Section 14.02 before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in money, such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in money, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. From and after the payment in full in money of all Senior Indebtedness, the holders of Debentures (together with the holders of any other indebtedness of the Company which is subordinate in right of payment to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, which is not subordinate in right of payment to the Debentures and which by its terms grants such right of subrogation to the holder thereof) shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the Debentures shall be paid in full, and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of assets or securities, which otherwise would have been payable or distributable to holders of Debentures , shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article Fourteen are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand, and nothing contained in this Article Fourteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Debentures is intended to or shall impair as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the holders, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the holders the principal of and interest on the Debentures as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights of the holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the holder of any Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, under Section 14.02, to receive cash, property or securities of the Company otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of the Debentures. Upon any distribution or payment in connection with any proceedings or sale referred to in subsection (a) of Section 14.02, the Trustee, subject as between the Trustee and the holders to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution or payment to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining the holders of Senior Indebtedness entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the amount of such Senior Indebtedness or the amount payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Fourteen . In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 14.03, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Section 14.03, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment. The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith pay over or distribute to holders of Debentures or the Company or any other person moneys or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of Article Fourteen of this Indenture or otherwise. SECTION 14.04 Nothing contained in this Article Fourteen or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Debentures, shall prevent at any time, (a) the Company from making payments at any time of principal of or interest on the Debentures, except under the conditions described in Section 14.02 or during the pendency of any proceedings or sale therein referred to, provided, however, that payments of principal of or interest on the Debentures shall only be made by the Company within three business days of the due dates for such payments or (b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Debentures, if at the time of such deposit the Trustee did not have written notice in accordance with Section 14.06 of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Company or if in the event of redemption, the Trustee did not have such written notice prior to the time that the notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.02 was given (which notice of redemption shall in no event be given more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption).

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.10(a) and (b): (i) whenever in the administration of this Declaration, the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part and, if the Trust is excluded from the definition of Investment Company solely by means of Rule 3a-7, subject to the requirements of Rule 3a-7, request and rely upon a certificate, which shall comply with the provisions of Section 314(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, signed by any two of the Regular Trustees or by an authorized officer of the Sponsor, as the case may be; (ii) The Property Trustee (A) may consult with counsel (which may be counsel to the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates and may include any of its employees) selected by it in good faith and with due care and the written advice or opinion of such counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice and opinion and (B) shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Declaration from any court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) The Property 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 Property Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it in good faith and with due care; (iv) The Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Declaration at the request or direction of any Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction; provided that nothing contained in this clause (iv) shall relieve the Property Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived) to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Declaration, and to use the same degree of care and skill in this exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; and (v) Any action taken by the Property Trustee or its agents hereunder shall bind the Holders of the Securities and the signature of the Property Trustee or its agents alone shall be sufficient and effective to perform any such action; and no third party shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Property Trustee to so act, or as to its compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Declaration, both of which shall be conclusively evidenced by the Property Trustee's or its agent's taking such action.

(d) Any Trustee may resign from office (without need for prior or subsequent accounting) by an instrument (a "Resignation Request") in writing signed by the Trustee and delivered to the Sponsor and the Trust, which resignation shall take effect upon such delivery or upon such later date as is specified therein; provided, however, that: (i) no such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the Property Trustee shall be effective until: (A) a Successor Property Trustee possessing the qualifications to act as Property Trustee under Section 5.1(c) has been appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by such Successor Property Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the Sponsor and the resigning Property Trustee; or (B) if the Trust is excluded from the definition of an Investment Company solely by reason of Rule 3a-7, until the assets of the Trust have been completely liquidated and the proceeds thereof distributed to the Holders of the Securities; (ii) no such resignation of the Trustee that acts as the Delaware Trustee shall be effective until a Successor Delaware Trustee has been appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by such Successor Delaware Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the Sponsor and the resigning Delaware Trustee; and (iii) no such resignation of a Special Regular Trustee shall be effective until the 60th day following delivery of the Resignation Request to the Sponsor and the Trust or such later date specified in the Resignation Request during which period the Holders of the Preferred Securities shall have the right to appoint a successor Special Regular Trustee as provided in this Article V.

SECTION 5.3 Vacancies Among Trustees. If a Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason and the number of Trustees is not reduced pursuant to Section 5.1 or if the number of Trustees is increased pursuant to Section 5.1, a vacancy shall occur.

The presence (whether in person or by telephone) of a Regular Trustee at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a Regular Trustee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any activity on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Unless provided otherwise in this Declaration, any action of the Regular Trustees may be taken at a meeting by vote of a majority of the Regular Trustees present (whether in person or by telephone) and eligible to vote with respect to such matter; provided that a Quorum is present, or without a meeting by the unanimous written consent of the Regular Trustees. SECTION 5.6 Delegation of Power.

Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of any such signature shall not affect the validity of any Certificate. In case any Regular Trustee of the Trust who shall have signed any of the Certificates shall cease to be such Regular Trustee before the Certificate so signed shall be delivered by the Trust, such Certificate nevertheless may be delivered as though the person who signed such Certificate had not ceased to be such Regular Trustee; and any Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Trust by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Certificate, shall be the Regular Trustees of the Trust, although at the date of the execution and delivery of the Declaration any such person was not such a Regular Trustee. Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the Regular Trustees may deem appropriate, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage. Each Certificate shall be countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of an authorized signatory of the Person acting as registrar and transfer agent for the Securities, which shall initially be the Property Trustee.

(f) Every Person, by virtue of having become a Holder or a Preferred Security Beneficial Owner in accordance with the terms of this Declaration, shall be deemed to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms of, and shall be bound by this Declaration.

Each Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer shall be canceled by the Regular Trustees. A transferee of a Certificate shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Holder hereunder upon the receipt by such transferee of a Certificate. By acceptance of a Certificate, each transferee shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by this Declaration. SECTION 9.3 Deemed Security Holders. The Trustees may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered on the books and records of the Trust as the sole holder of such Certificate and of the Securities represented by such Certificate for purposes of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Certificate or in the Securities represented by such Certificate on the part of any Person, whether or not the Trustees shall have actual or other notice thereof.

Unless otherwise specified in the terms of the Preferred Securities, the Preferred Securities Certificates, on original issuance, will be issued in the form of one or more, fully registered, global Preferred Security Certificates (each a "Global Certificate"), to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Trust. Such Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the books and records of the Trust in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and no Preferred Security Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive Preferred Security Certificate representing such Preferred Security Beneficial Owner's interests in such Global Certificates, except as provided in Section 9.7. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Preferred Security Certificates (the "Definitive Preferred Security Certificates") have been issued to the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 9.7: (i) the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall be in full force and effect; (ii) the Trust and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Declaration (including the payment of Distributions on the Global Certificates and receiving approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the Holder of the Preferred Securities and the sole holder of the Global Certificates and, except as set forth herein or in Rule 3a-7 with respect to the Property Trustee, shall have no obligation to the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners; (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 9.4 conflict with any other provisions of this Declaration, the provisions of this Section 9.4 shall control; and (iv) the rights of the Preferred Security Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Preferred Security Beneficial Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. DTC will make book entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of Distributions on the Global Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.

If (i) a Clearing Agency elects to discontinue its services as securities depository with respect to the Preferred Securities and a successor Clearing Agency is not appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to Section 9.6 or (ii) the Regular Trustees elect after consultation with the Sponsor to terminate the book entry system through the Clearing Agency with respect to the Preferred Securities, then (x) Definitive Preferred Security Certificates shall be prepared by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust with respect to such Preferred Securities and (y) upon surrender of the Global Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Regular Trustees shall cause definitive Preferred Security Certificates to be delivered to Preferred Security Beneficial Owners in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each of them may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Definitive Preferred Security Certificates shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Regular Trustees, as evidenced by their execution thereof, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements as the Regular Trustees may deem appropriate, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Preferred Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage. SECTION 9.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificates should be surrendered to the Regular Trustees, or if the Regular Trustees shall receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate; and (b) there shall be delivered to the Regular Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by them to keep each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, any two Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 9.8, the Regular Trustees may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an ownership interest in the relevant Securities, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

SECTION 12.2 Meetings of the Holders of Securities; Action by Written Consent. (a) Meetings of the Holders of Preferred Securities and/or Common Securities may be called at any time by the Regular Trustees (or as provided in the terms of the Securities) to consider and act on any matter on which Holders of such class of Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Declaration, the terms of the Securities or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are listed or admitted for trading. The Regular Trustees shall call a meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities or Common Securities, if directed to do so by Holders of at least 10% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities. Such direction shall be given by delivering to the Regular Trustees one or more calls in a writing stating that the signing Holders of Securities wish to call a meeting and indicating the general or specific purpose for which the meeting is to be called. Any Holders of Securities calling a meeting shall specify in writing the Certificates held by the Holders of Securities exercising the right to call a meeting and only those specified Certificates shall be counted for purposes of determining whether the required percentage set forth in the second sentence of this paragraph has been met. (b) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the terms of the Securities, the following provision shall apply to meetings of Holders of Securities: (i) Notice of any such meeting shall be given by mail to all the Holders of Securities having a right to vote thereat not less than 7 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date of such meeting.

Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the Holders of Securities may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by Holders of Securities owning not less than the minimum aggregate liquidation amount of Securities that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Holders of Securities having a right to vote thereon were present and voting. Prompt notice of the taking of action without a meeting shall be given to the Holders of Securities entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. The Regular Trustees may specify that any written ballot submitted to the Holders of Securities for the purpose of taking any action without a meeting shall be returned to the Trust within the time specified by the Regular Trustees. (ii) Each Holder of a Security may authorize any Person to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder of a Security is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Holder of the Security executing it. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the terms of the Securities, all matters relating to the giving, voting or validity of proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Holders of the Securities were stockholders of a Delaware corporation. (iii) Each meeting of the Holders of the Securities shall be conducted by the Regular Trustees or by such other Person that the Regular Trustees may designate. (iv) Unless otherwise provided in the Business Trust Act, this Declaration or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or admitted for trading, the Regular Trustees, in their sole discretion, shall establish all other provisions relating to meetings of Holders of Securities, including notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any Holders of Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements, voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with respect to the exercise of any such right to vote.

Robinson, as Trustee EXHIBIT B TERMS OF PREFERRED SECURITIES Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of SunAmerica Capital Trust [_] dated as of [___________], 199[_] (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the designations, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of the Preferred Securities are set forth below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning set forth in the Declaration): 1. Designation and Number.(6) Preferred Securities of the Trust with an aggregate liquidation amount in the assets of the Trust of [___________________________________] Dollars ($[_________]) and a liquidation amount in the assets of the Trust of $25 per Preferred Security, are hereby designated as "[____]% [____________] Preferred Securities". The Preferred Security Certificates evidencing the Preferred Securities shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex I, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice or to conform to the rules of any stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are listed. In connection with the issuance of and initial sale of these Preferred Securities and the Common Securities, SunAmerica will deposit in the Trust, and the Trust will purchase, respectively, as trust assets Debentures of SunAmerica having an aggregate principal amount equal to $[_________], and bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the annual Distribution rate on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities and having payment and redemption provisions which correspond to the payment and redemption provisions of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities. - ---------- (6) See preceding footnotes for a discussion of changes needed if an over-allotment option is granted to Underwriters. 2. Distributions. (a) Periodic distributions payable on each Preferred Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of [____]% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security. Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest at the rate per annum of [____]% thereof (to the extent permitted by law), compounded quarterly. The term "Distributions" as used in these terms means such periodic cash distributions and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution will be made by the Property Trustee only to the extent that interest payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee. The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full quarterly Distribution period for which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 30-day month. (b) Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from [____________], 199[_] and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on [____________], 199[_], except as otherwise described below, but only if and to the extent that interest payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee. So long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Debentures, SunAmerica has the right under the Indenture for the Debentures to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods (each, an "Extension Period") and, as a consequence, quarterly Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the rate of [____]% per annum, compounded quarterly during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, SunAmerica may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, SunAmerica may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders of Preferred Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the Extension Period. (c) Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be payable promptly by the Property Trustee (or other Paying Agent) upon receipt of immediately available funds to the Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant record dates, which will be the March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 prior to the relevant Distribution date, which record and payment dates correspond to the record and interest payment dates on the Debentures. Distributions payable on any Preferred Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution payment date as a result of SunAmerica having failed to make the corresponding interest payment on the Debentures will forthwith cease to be payable to the person in whose name such Preferred Security is registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the person in whose name such Preferred Security is registered on the special record date established by the Regular Trustees, which record date shall correspond to the special record date or other specified date determined in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that Distributions shall not be considered payable on any Distribution payment date falling within an Extension Period unless SunAmerica has elected to make a full or partial payment of interest accrued on the Debentures on such Distribution payment date. Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of the Declaration, each payment in respect of the Preferred Securities will be made as described paragraph 9 hereof. If any date on which Distributions are payable on the Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. (d) All Distributions paid with respect to the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will be paid Pro Rata to the Holders thereof entitled thereto. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to Distributions. (e) In the event that there is any money or other property held by or for the Trust that is not accounted for under the Declaration, such money or property shall be distributed Pro Rata among the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities. 3. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the date of the dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive Pro Rata solely out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, an amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security and Common Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in connection with such dissolution, winding-up or termination, and after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such Preferred Securities and Common Securities and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Preferred Securities and Common Securities, shall be distributed Pro Rata to the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities in exchange for such Securities. If, upon any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be paid, subject to the next paragraph, on a Pro Rata basis. Holders of Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution Pro Rata with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to such Liquidation Distribution. 4. Redemption and Distribution of Debentures. The Preferred Securities and Common Securities may only be redeemed if Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities are repaid, redeemed or distributed as set forth below: (a) Upon the repayment of the Debentures, in whole or in part, whether at maturity, upon redemption at any time or from time to time on or after [___________], 199[_], the proceeds of such repayment will be promptly applied to redeem Pro Rata Preferred Securities and Common Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price of $25 per Preferred and Common Security plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of redemption, payable in cash (the "Redemption Price"). The date of any such repayment or redemption of Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be established to coincide with the repayment or redemption date of the Debentures. (b) If fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities and Common Securities are to be so redeemed, the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata and the Preferred Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed as described in paragraph 4(f)(ii) below. If a partial redemption would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, SunAmerica pursuant to the Indenture will only redeem Debentures in whole and, as a result, the Trust may only redeem the Preferred Securities in whole. (c) If, at any time, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as hereinafter defined, and each a "Special Event") shall occur and be continuing, the Regular Trustees shall, unless the Debentures are redeemed in the limited circumstances described below, dissolve the Trust and, after satisfaction of creditors, cause Debentures held by the Property Trustee having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of and accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on, and having the same record date for payment as the Preferred Securities and Common Securities, to be distributed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities on a Pro Rata basis in liquidation of such Holders' interests in the Trust, within 90 days following the occurrence of such Special Event; provided, however, that in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, as a condition of such dissolution and distribution, the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "No Recognition Opinion"), which opinion may rely on any then applicable published revenue ruling of the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the Holders of the Preferred Securities will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the dissolution of the Trust and distribution of Debentures; and provided, further, that, if and as long as at the time there is available to the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Special Event by taking some ministerial action, such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure that has no adverse effect on the Trust, SunAmerica or the Holders of the Preferred Securities ("Ministerial Action"), the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of dissolution. If in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, (i) the Regular Trustees have received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of a Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that SunAmerica would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes even if the Debentures were distributed to the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of such Holder's interest in the Trust as described in this paragraph 4(c) or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion cannot be delivered to the Trust, SunAmerica shall have the right at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part for cash at the Redemption Price within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, and promptly following such redemption Preferred Securities and Common Securities with an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so redeemed will be redeemed by the Trust at the Redemption Price on a Pro Rata basis; provided, however, that, if at the time there is available to SunAmerica or the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Tax Event by taking some Ministerial Action, SunAmerica or the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption and; provided, further, that SunAmerica shall have no right to redeem the Debentures while the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust are pursuing such Ministerial Action. The Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata with the Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to payment of the Redemption Price. "Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that on or after [____________], 199[_] as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to such laws or regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or regulatory authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken, in each case on or after [____________], 199[_], there is more than an insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to United States federal income tax with respect to income accrued or received on the Debentures, (ii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by SunAmerica to the Trust on the Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof will not be, deductible by SunAmerica for United States federal income tax purposes. "Investment Company Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel experienced in practice under the Investment Company Act that, as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (a "Change in 1940 Act Law"), there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Trust is or will be considered an Investment Company which is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, which Change in 1940 Act Law becomes effective on or after [____________], 199[_]. On the date fixed for any distribution of Debentures, upon dissolution of the Trust, (i) the Preferred Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and (ii) certificates representing Preferred Securities will be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the stated liquidation amount of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Preferred Securities until such certificates are presented to SunAmerica or its agent for transfer or reissuance. (d) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all Preferred Securities for all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption. (e) If Debentures are distributed to Holders of the Preferred Securities, SunAmerica, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, will use its best efforts to have the Debentures listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange as the Preferred Securities were listed immediately prior to the distribution of the Debentures. (f) (i) Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of Debentures in exchange for, the Preferred Securities and Common Securities (a "Redemption/Distribution Notice") will be given by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by mail to each Holder of Preferred Securities and Common Securities to be redeemed or exchanged not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or exchange thereof. For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption or exchange and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to this paragraph (f)(i), a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities. Each Redemption/ Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in the books and records of the Trust. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing of either thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder. (ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities are to be redeemed, the Preferred Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder of Preferred Securities, it being understood that, in respect of Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held of record by DTC (or successor Clearing Agency) or any other nominee, the distribution of the proceeds of such redemption will be made to each Clearing Agency Participant (or person on whose behalf such nominee holds such securities) in accordance with the procedures applied by such agency or nominee. (iii) If the Trust gives a Redemption/ Distribution Notice in respect of a redemption of Preferred Securities as provided in this paragraph 4 (which notice will be irrevocable) then immediately prior to the close of business on the redemption date, provided that SunAmerica has paid to the Property Trustee in immediately available funds a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, Distributions will cease to accrue on the Preferred Securities called for redemption, such Preferred Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of Holders of such Preferred Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Preferred Securities to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer of any Preferred Securities which have been so called for redemption. If any date fixed for redemption of Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Redemption Price in respect of Preferred Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Property Trustee or by SunAmerica pursuant to the Preferred Securities Guarantee, Distributions on such Preferred Securities will continue to accrue, from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to the Holders of the Preferred Securities. (v) Upon the date of dissolution of the Trust and distribution of Debentures as a result of the occurrence of a Special Event, Preferred Security Certificates shall be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures so distributed, and the Preferred Securities will no longer be deemed outstanding and may be canceled by the Regular Trustees. The Debentures so distributed shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities so distributed. (vi) Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including, without limitation, United States federal securities laws), SunAmerica or any of its subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase outstanding Preferred Securities by tender, in the open market or by private agreement. 5. Voting Rights. (a) Except as provided under paragraph 5(b) below and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have no voting rights. (b) If (i) the Trust fails to make Distributions in full on the Preferred Securities for 6 consecutive quarterly Distribution periods; or (ii) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (each, an "Appointment Event"), then the Holders of the Preferred Securities, acting as a single class, will be entitled by the vote of Holders of Preferred Securities representing a Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities to appoint a Special Regular Trustee in accordance with paragraph 5.2(a)(ii)(B) of the Declaration. Any Holder of Preferred Securities (other than the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Sponsor) will have the right to nominate any Person to be appointed as Special Regular Trustee. For purposes of determining whether the Trust has failed to pay Distributions in full for 6 consecutive quarterly Distribution periods, Distributions shall be deemed to remain in arrears, notwithstanding any payments in respect thereof, until full cumulative Distributions have been or contemporaneously are paid with respect to all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such cumulative Distributions. Not later than 30 days after such right to appoint a Special Regular Trustee arises, the Regular Trustees will convene a meeting for the purpose of appointing a Special Regular Trustee. If the Regular Trustees fail to convene such meeting within such 30-day period, the Holders of Preferred Securities representing 10% in liquidation amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities will be entitled to convene such meeting in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Declaration. The record date for such meeting will be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is sent to Holders of Preferred Securities. The provisions of the Declaration relating to the convening and conduct of the meetings of the Holders will apply with respect to any such meeting. If, at any such meeting, Holders of less than a Majority in liquidation amount of Preferred Securities entitled to vote for the appointment of a Special Regular Trustee vote for such appointment, no Special Regular Trustee shall be appointed. Any Special Regular Trustee may be removed without cause at any time by the Holders of Preferred Securities representing a Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities in accordance with Section 5.2(a)(ii)(B) of the Declaration. The Holders of 10% in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities will be entitled to convene such a meeting in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Declaration. The record date for such meeting will be the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is sent to Holders of Preferred Securities. Any Special Regular Trustee appointed shall cease to be a Special Regular Trustee as provided in Section 5.2(c) of the Declaration. Notwithstanding the appointment of any such Special Regular Trustee, SunAmerica shall retain all rights under the Indenture, including the right to extend the interest payment period on Debentures, and any extension for a period not exceeding 20 quarterly interest periods will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. If any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Regular Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than in connection with the distribution of Debentures held by the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of a Special Event or in connection with the redemption of Preferred Securities as a consequence of a redemption of Debentures, then the Holders of outstanding Securities will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal as a class and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of Securities representing 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such Securities; provided, however, that (A) if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Preferred Securities or the Common Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities, (B) the rights of Holders of Preferred Securities under Article V of the Declaration to appoint and remove a Special Regular Trustee shall not be amended without the consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities, and (C) amendments to the Declaration shall be subject to such further requirements as are set forth in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the Declaration. In the event the consent of the Property Trustee, as the holder of the Debentures, is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the Property Trustee shall request the written direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect to such amendment, modification or termination. The Property Trustee shall vote with respect to such amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities voting together as a single class; provided that where such amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture requires the consent or vote of (1) holders of Debentures representing a specified percentage greater than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures or (2) each holder of Debentures, the Property Trustee may only vote with respect to that amendment, modification or termination as directed by, in the case of clause (1) above, the vote of Holders of Securities representing such specified percentage of the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities, or, in the case of clause (2) above, each Holder of Securities; and provided, further, that the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Securities unless the Property Trustee shall have received, at the expense of the Sponsor, an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel recognized as expert in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership on account of such action and will be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes following such action. Subject to Section 2.6 of the Declaration, and the provisions of this and the next succeeding paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities, voting separately as a class shall have the right to (A) on behalf of all Holders of Preferred Securities, waive any past default that is waivable under the Declaration (subject to, and in accordance with the Declaration) and (B) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under the Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as the holder of the Debentures, to (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under Section 6.06 of the Indenture, or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable; provided that where the taking of any action under the Indenture requires the consent or vote of (1) holders of Debentures representing a specified percentage greater than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures or (2) each holder of Debentures, the Property Trustee may only take such action if directed by, in the case of clause (1) above, the vote of Holders of Preferred Securities representing such specified percentage of the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities, or, in the case of clause (2) above, each Holder of Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above, the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any of the foregoing actions at the direction of the Holders of Preferred Securities unless the Property Trustee shall have received, at the expense of the Sponsor, an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel recognized as expert in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership on account of such action and will be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes following such action. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights under the Declaration (including, without limitation, its rights, powers and privileges as a holder of the Debentures under the Indenture), any Holder of Preferred Securities may, after a period of 30 days has elapsed from such Holder's written request to the Property Trustee to enforce such rights, institute a legal proceeding directly against SunAmerica to enforce the Property Trustee's rights under the Declaration, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Property Trustee or any other Person. A waiver of an Indenture Event of Default by the Property Trustee at the direction of the Holders of the Preferred Securities will constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under the Declaration in respect of the Securities. Any required approval or direction of Holders of Preferred Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities of the Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of Preferred Securities. Each such notice will include a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents. No vote or consent of the Holders of Preferred Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Preferred Securities in accordance with the Declaration. Notwithstanding that Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the Preferred Securities at such time that are owned by SunAmerica or by any entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with SunAmerica shall not be entitled to vote or consent and shall, for purposes of such vote or consent, be treated as if they were not outstanding. Except as provided in this paragraph 5, Holders of the Preferred Securities will have no rights to increase or decrease the number of Trustees or to appoint, remove or replace a Trustee, which voting rights are vested solely in the Holders of the Common Securities. 6. Pro Rata Treatment. A reference in these terms of the Preferred Securities to any payment, distribution or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to each Holder of Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of Preferred Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Preferred Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities, to each Holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities outstanding. 7. Ranking. The Preferred Securities rank pari passu and payment thereon will be made Pro Rata with, the Common Securities except that where an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the rights of Holders of Preferred Securities to payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise rank in priority to the rights of Holders of the Common Securities. 8. Mergers, Consolidations or Amalgamations. The Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets to, any corporation or other body. 9. Transfer, Exchange, Method of Payments. Payment of Distributions and payments on redemption of the Preferred Securities will be payable, the transfer of the Preferred Securities will be registrable, and Preferred Securities will be exchangeable for Preferred Securities of other denominations of a like aggregate liquidation amount, at the principal corporate trust office of the Property Trustee in The City of New York; provided that payment of Distributions may be made at the option of the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by check mailed to the address of the persons entitled thereto and that the payment on redemption of any Preferred Security will be made only upon surrender of such Preferred Security to the Property Trustee. 10. Acceptance of Indenture and Preferred Guarantee. Each Holder of Preferred Securities, by the acceptance thereof, agrees to the provisions of (i) the Preferred Guarantee, including the subordination provisions therein and (ii) the Indenture and the Debentures, including the subordination provisions of the Indenture. 11. No Preemptive Rights. The Holders of Preferred Securities shall have no preemptive rights to subscribe to any additional Preferred Securities or Common Securities. 12. Miscellaneous. These terms shall constitute a part of the Declaration. The Trust will provide a copy of the Declaration and the Indenture to a Holder without charge on written request to the Trust at its principal place of business.

EXHIBIT C TERMS OF COMMON SECURITIES Pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of SunAmerica Capital Trust [_] dated as of [____________], 199[_] (as amended from time to time, the "Declaration"), the designations, rights, privileges, restrictions, preferences and other terms and provisions of the Common Securities are set forth below (each capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning set forth in the Declaration): 1. Designation and Number.(7) Common Securities of the Trust with an aggregate liquidation amount in the assets of the Trust of [______________________________________] Dollars ($[___________]) and a liquidation amount in the assets of the Trust of $25 per Common Security, are hereby designated as "[____]% [_____________] Common Securities". The Common Security Certificates evidencing the Common Securities shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex I, with such changes and additions thereto or deletions therefrom as may be required by ordinary usage, custom or practice. The Common Securities are to be issued and sold to SunAmerica Inc. ("SunAmerica") in consideration of $[__________] in cash. In connection with the issuance of and initial sale of the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities, SunAmerica will deposit in the Trust, and the Trust will purchase, respectively, as trust assets Debentures of SunAmerica having an aggregate principal amount equal to $[___________], and bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the annual Distribution rate on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities and having payment and redemption provisions which correspond to the payment and redemption provisions of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities. - ---------- (7) See preceding footnotes for a discussion of changes needed if an over-allotment option is granted to Underwriters. 2. Distributions. (a) Periodic distributions payable on each Common Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of [____]% (the "Coupon Rate") of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Common Security. Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest at the rate per annum of [____]% thereof (to the extent permitted by applicable law), compounded quarterly. The term "Distributions" as used in these terms means such periodic cash distributions and any such interest payable unless otherwise stated. A Distribution will be made by the Property Trustee only to the extent that interest payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee. The amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly Distribution period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period shorter than a full quarterly Distribution period for which Distributions are computed, Distributions will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 30-day month. (b) Distributions on the Common Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from [____________], 199[_] and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on [____________], 199[_], except as otherwise described below, but only if and to the extent that interest payments are made in respect of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee. So long as SunAmerica shall not be in default in the payment of interest on the Debentures, SunAmerica has the right under the Indenture for the Debentures to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods (each, an "Extension Period") and, as a consequence, quarterly Distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the rate of [____]% per annum, compounded quarterly during any such Extension Period. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, SunAmerica may further extend such Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period together with all such previous and further extensions thereof may not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, SunAmerica may commence a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. Payments of accrued Distributions will be payable to Holders of Common Securities as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the first record date after the end of the Extension Period. (c) Distributions on the Common Securities will be payable promptly by the Property Trustee (or other Paying Agent) upon receipt of immediately available funds to the Holders thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Trust on the relevant record dates which will be the March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 prior to the relevant Distribution date which record and payment dates correspond to the record and interest payment dates on the Debentures. Distributions payable on any Common Securities that are not punctually paid on any Distribution date as a result of SunAmerica having failed to make the corresponding interest payment on the Debentures will forthwith cease to be payable to the person in whose name such Common Security is registered on the relevant record date, and such defaulted Distribution will instead be payable to the person in whose name such Common Security is registered on the special record date established by the Regular Trustees, which record date shall correspond to the special record date or other specified date determined in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that Distributions shall not be considered payable on any Distribution payment date falling within an Extension Period unless SunAmerica has elected to make a full or partial payment of interest accrued on the Debentures on such Distribution payment date. Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of the Declaration, each payment in respect of the Common Securities will be made as described in paragraph 9 hereof. If any date on which Distributions are payable on the Common Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Distribution payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. (d) All Distributions paid with respect to the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities will be paid Pro Rata to the Holders thereof entitled thereto. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to Distributions. (e) In the event that there is any money or other property held by or for the Trust that is not accounted for under the Declaration, such money or property shall be distributed Pro Rata among the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities. 3. Liquidation Distribution Upon Dissolution. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the date of the dissolution, winding-up or termination, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive Pro Rata solely out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, an amount equal to the aggregate of the stated liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security and Common Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"), unless, in connection with such dissolution, winding-up or termination, and after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of such Preferred Securities and Common Securities bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Preferred Securities and Common Securities, shall be distributed Pro Rata to the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities in exchange for such Securities. If, upon any such dissolution, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be paid, subject to the next paragraph, on a Pro Rata basis. Holders of Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such dissolution Pro Rata with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to such Liquidation Distribution. 4. Redemption and Distribution of Debentures. The Preferred Securities and Common Securities may only be redeemed if Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities are repaid, redeemed or distributed as set forth below: (a) Upon the repayment of the Debentures, in whole or in part, whether at maturity, upon redemption at any time or from time to time on or after [___________], 199[_], the proceeds of such repayment will be promptly applied to redeem Pro Rata Preferred Securities and Common Securities having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so repaid or redeemed, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price of $25 per Preferred and Common Security plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of redemption, payable in cash (the "Redemption Price"). The date of any such repayment or redemption of Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be established to coincide with the repayment or redemption date of the Debentures. (b) If fewer than all the outstanding Preferred Securities and Common Securities are to be so redeemed, the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata and the Common Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed as described in paragraph 4(e)(ii) below. If a partial redemption would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, SunAmerica pursuant to the Indenture will only redeem Debentures in whole and, as a result, the Trust may only redeem the Common Securities in whole. (c) If, at any time, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event (each as hereinafter defined, and each a "Special Event") shall occur and be continuing, the Regular Trustees shall, unless the Debentures are redeemed in the limited circumstances described below, dissolve the Trust and, after satisfaction of creditors, cause Debentures held by the Property Trustee having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of and accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on, and having the same record date for payment as the Preferred Securities and Common Securities, to be distributed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities on a Pro Rata basis in liquidation of such Holders' interests in the Trust, within 90 days following the occurrence of such Special Event; provided, however, that in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, as a condition of such dissolution and distribution, the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "No Recognition Opinion"), which opinion may rely on any then applicable published revenue rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the Holders of the Preferred Securities will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the dissolution of the Trust and distribution of Debentures; and provided, further, that, if and as long as at the time there is available to the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Special Event by taking some ministerial action, such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure that has no adverse effect on the Trust, SunAmerica or the Holders of the Preferred Securities ("Ministerial Action") the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of dissolution. If in the case of the occurrence of a Tax Event, (i) the Regular Trustees have received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of a Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that SunAmerica would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes even if the Debentures were distributed to the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of such Holder's interest in the Trust as described in this paragraph 4(c) or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion cannot be delivered to the Trust, SunAmerica shall have the right at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part for cash at the Redemption Price within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, and promptly following such redemption Preferred Securities and Common Securities with an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures so redeemed will be redeemed by the Trust at the Redemption Price on a Pro Rata basis: provided, however, that, if at the time there is available to SunAmerica or the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Tax Event by taking some Ministerial Action, SunAmerica or the Holders of the Preferred Securities, SunAmerica or the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption; and provided, further, that SunAmerica shall have no right to redeem the Debentures while the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust are pursuing such Ministerial Action. The Common Securities will be redeemed Pro Rata with the Preferred Securities, except that if an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over the Common Securities with respect to payment of the Redemption Price. "Tax Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that on or after [____________], 199[_] as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to such laws or regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or regulatory authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken, in each case on or after [____________], 199[_], there is more than an insubstantial risk that (i) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to United States federal income tax with respect to income accrued or received on the Debentures, (ii) the Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by SunAmerica to the Trust on the Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof will not be, deductible by SunAmerica for United States federal income tax purposes. "Investment Company Event" means that the Regular Trustees shall have received an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel experienced in practice under the Investment Company Act that, as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (a "Change in 1940 Act Law"), there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Trust is or will be considered an Investment Company which is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act, which Change in 1940 Act Law becomes effective on or after [____________], 199[_]. On the date fixed for any distribution of Debentures, upon dissolution of the Trust, (i) the Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and (ii) any certificates representing Common Securities will be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the stated liquidation amount of, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest equal to accrued and unpaid Distributions on, such Common Securities until such certificates are presented to SunAmerica or its agent for transfer or reissuance. (d) The Trust may not redeem fewer than all the outstanding Common Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Distributions have been paid on all Common Securities for all quarterly Distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption. (e)(i) Notice of any redemption of, or notice of distribution of Debentures in exchange for, the Preferred Securities and Common Securities (a "Redemption/Distribution Notice") will be given by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by mail to each Holder of Preferred Securities and Common Securities to be redeemed or exchanged not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or exchange thereof. For purposes of the calculation of the date of redemption or exchange and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to this paragraph (e)(i), a Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be deemed to be given on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities. Each Redemption/Distribution Notice shall be addressed to the Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities at the address of each such Holder appearing in the books and records of the Trust. No defect in the Redemption/Distribution Notice or in the mailing of either thereof with respect to any Holder shall affect the validity of the redemption or exchange proceedings with respect to any other Holder. (ii) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Common Securities are to be redeemed, the Common Securities to be redeemed will be redeemed Pro Rata from each Holder of Common Securities (subject to adjustment to eliminate fractional Common Securities). (iii) If the Trust gives a Redemption/ Distribution Notice in respect of a redemption of Common Securities as provided in this paragraph 4 (which notice will be irrevocable) then immediately prior to the close of business on the redemption date, provided that SunAmerica has paid to the Property Trustee in immediately available funds a sufficient amount of cash in connection with the related redemption or maturity of the Debentures, Distributions will cease to accrue on the Common Securities called for redemption, such Common Securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of Holders of such Common Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of the Holders of such Common Securities to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price. Neither the Trustees nor the Trust shall be required to register or cause to be registered the transfer of any Common Securities which have been so called for redemption. If any date fixed for redemption of Common Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If payment of the Redemption Price in respect of Common Securities is improperly withheld or refused and not paid by the Property Trustee, Distributions on such Common Securities will continue to accrue, from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price. (iv) Redemption/Distribution Notices shall be sent by the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust to the Holders of the Common Securities. (v) Upon the date of dissolution of the Trust and distribution of Debentures as a result of the occurrence of a Special Event, Common Security Certificates shall be deemed to represent beneficial interests in the Debentures so distributed, and the Common Securities will no longer be deemed outstanding and may be canceled by the Regular Trustees. The Debentures so distributed shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Common Securities so distributed. 5. Voting Rights. (a) Except as provided under paragraph 5(b) below and as otherwise required by law and the Declaration, the Holders of the Common Securities will have no voting rights. (b) Except as provided in the Declaration with respect to a Special Regular Trustee, Holders of Common Securities have the sole right under the Declaration to increase or decrease the number of Trustees, and to appoint, remove or replace a Trustee, any such increase, decrease, appointment, removal or replacement to be approved by Holders of Common Securities representing a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities. If any proposed amendment to the Declaration provides for, or the Regular Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Declaration or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than in connection with the distribution of Debentures held by the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of a Special Event or in connection with the redemption of Common Securities as a consequence of a redemption of Debentures, then the Holders of outstanding Securities will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal as a class and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of Securities representing 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such Securities; provided, however, that (A) if any amendment or proposal referred to in clause (i) above would adversely affect only the Preferred Securities or the Common Securities, then only the affected class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of 66-2/3% in liquidation amount of such class of Securities, (B) the rights of Holders of Common Securities under Article V of the Declaration to increase or decrease the number of, and to appoint, replace or remove, Trustees (other than a Special Regular Trustee) shall not be amended without the consent of each Holder of Common Securities, and (C) amendments to the Declaration shall be subject to such further requirements as are set forth in Sections 12.1 and 12.2 of the Declaration. In the event the consent of the Property Trustee as the holder of the Debentures, is required under the Indenture with respect to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, the Property Trustee shall request the written direction of the Holders of the Securities with respect to such amendment, modification or termination. The Property Trustee shall vote with respect to such amendment, modification or termination as directed by a Majority in liquidation amount of the Securities voting together as a single class; provided that where such amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture requires the consent or vote of (1) holders of Debentures representing a specified percentage greater than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures or (2) each holder of Debentures, the Property Trustee may only vote with respect to that amendment, modification or termination as directed by, in the case of clause (1) above, the vote of Holders of Securities representing such specified percentage of the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities, or, in the case of clause (2) above, each Holder of Securities; and provided, further, that the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action in accordance with the directions of the Holders of the Securities unless the Property Trustee shall have received, at the expense of the Sponsor, an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel recognized as an expert in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership on account of such action and will be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes following such action. Subject to Section 2.6 of the Declaration, and the provisions of this and the next succeeding paragraph, the Holders of a Majority in liquidation amount of the Common Securities, voting separately as a class shall have the right to (A) on behalf of all Holders of Common Securities, waive any past default that is waivable under the Declaration (subject to, and in accordance with the Declaration) and (B) direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under the Declaration, including the right to direct the Property Trustee, as holder of the Debentures, to (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default and its consequences that is waivable under Section 6.06 of the Indenture, or (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable; provided that where the taking of any action under the Indenture requires the consent or vote of (1) holders of Debentures representing a specified percentage greater than a majority in principal amount of the Debentures or (e) each holder of Debentures, the Property Trustee may only take such action if directed by, in the case of clause (1) above, the vote of Holders of Common Securities representing such specified percentage of the aggregate liquidation amount of the Common Securities, or, in the case of clause (2) above, each Holder of Common Securities. Pursuant to this paragraph, the Property Trustee shall not revoke, or take any action inconsistent with, any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, and shall not take any action in accordance with the direction of the Holders of the Common Securities under this paragraph if the action is prejudicial to the Holders of Preferred Securities. Other than with respect to directing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee or the Debenture Trustee as set forth above, the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any of the foregoing actions at the direction of the Holders of Common Securities unless the Properties Trustee shall have received, at the expense of the Sponsor, an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel recognized as expert in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or a partnership on account of such action and will be treated as a grantor trust for United States income tax purposes following such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of these terms, each Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities and its consequences until all Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived by the Holders of Preferred Securities as provided in the Declaration or otherwise eliminated, and until all Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived by the Holders of Preferred Securities or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of Preferred Securities and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Declaration or of the Securities. In the event that any Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities is waived by the Holders of Preferred Securities as provided in the Declaration, the Holders of Common Securities agree that such waiver shall also constitute the waiver of such Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities for all purposes under the Declaration without any further act, vote or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities. A waiver of an Indenture Event of Default by the Property Trustee at the direction of the Holders of the Preferred Securities will constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under the Declaration in respect of the Securities. Any required approval of Holders of Common Securities may be given at a separate meeting of Holders of Common Securities convened for such purpose, at a meeting of all of the Holders of Securities of the Trust or pursuant to written consent. The Regular Trustees will cause a notice of any meeting at which Holders of Common Securities are entitled to vote, or of any matter upon which action by written consent of such Holders is to be taken, to be mailed to each Holder of record of Common Securities. Each such notice will include a statement setting forth (i) the date of such meeting or the date by which such action is to be taken, (ii) a description of any resolution proposed for adoption at such meeting on which such Holders are entitled to vote or of such matter upon which written consent is sought and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies or consents. No vote or consent of the Holders of Common Securities will be required for the Trust to redeem and cancel Common Securities in accordance with the Declaration. 6. Pro Rata Treatment. A reference in these terms of the Common Securities to any payment, distribution or treatment as being "Pro Rata" shall mean pro rata to each Holder of Securities according to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Securities held by the relevant Holder in relation to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Securities outstanding unless, in relation to a payment, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case any funds available to make such payment shall be paid first to each Holder of the Preferred Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of Preferred Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Preferred Securities outstanding, and only after satisfaction of all amounts owed to the Holders of the Preferred Securities, to each Holder of Common Securities pro rata according to the aggregate liquidation amount of Common Securities held by the relevant Holder relative to the aggregate liquidation amount of all Common Securities outstanding. 7. Ranking. The Common Securities rank pari passu with the Preferred Securities except that where an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the rights of Holders of Common Securities to payment in respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise are subordinate to the rights of Holders the Preferred Securities. 8. Mergers, Consolidations or Amalgamations. The Trust may not consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets to, any corporation or other body. 9. Transfers, Exchanges, Method of Payments. Payment of Distributions and payments on redemption of the Common Securities will be payable, the transfer of the Common Securities will be registrable, and Common Securities will be exchangeable for Common Securities of other denominations of a like aggregate liquidation amount, at the principal corporate trust office of the Property Trustee in The City of New York; provided that payment of Distributions may be made at the option of the Regular Trustees on behalf of the Trust by check mailed to the address of the persons entitled thereto and that the payment on redemption of any Common Security will be made only upon surrender of such Common Security to the Property Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of Common Securities are subject to conditions set forth in Section 9.1(c) of the Declaration. 10. Acceptance of Indenture. Each Holder of Common Securities, by the acceptance thereof, agrees to the provisions of the Indenture and the Debentures, including the subordination provisions thereof. 11. No Preemptive Rights. The Holders of Common Securities shall have no preemptive rights to subscribe to any additional Common Securities or Preferred Securities. 12. Miscellaneous. These terms shall constitute a part of the Declaration. The Trust will provide a copy of the Declaration and the Indenture to a Holder without charge on written request to the Trust at its principal place of business.

There shall be and is hereby authorized a series of Debentures designated the "[____]% Junior Subordinated Debentures, Series [_], Due 20[__]", limited in aggregate principal amount to the sum of (i) $[________] plus (ii) a dollar amount equal to the principal amount of Series [_] Debentures purchased by SunAmerica Capital [_] with the proceeds received by SunAmerica Capital [_] from the purchase by the Company of the Common Securities of SunAmerica Capital [_], which amount shall be as set forth in any written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Series [_] Debentures. The Series [_] Debentures shall mature and the principal shall be due and payable together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, including Compounded Interest (as hereinafter defined) on [__________, 20[__], and shall be issued in the form of registered Series [_] Debentures without coupons.(*) ____________ (*) See previous footnote regarding changes which may be required if an over-allotment option is granted to Underwriters. SECTION 1.02. The Series [_] Debentures shall be issued in certificated form. Principal and interest on the Series [_] Debentures issued in certificated form will be payable, the transfer of such Series [_] Debentures will be registrable and such Series [_] Debentures will be exchangeable for Series [_] Debentures bearing identical terms and provisions at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in the Debenture register and that the payment of principal with respect to the Series [_] Debentures will only be made upon surrender of the Series [_] Debentures to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Property Trustee is the legal owner and record holder of the Series [_] Debentures, the payment of the principal of and interest (including Compounded Interest, if any) on the Series [_] Debentures held by the Property Trustee will be made by the Company in immediately available funds on the payment date therefor at such place and to the Property Account (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) established and maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to the Declaration of Trust. SECTION 1.03. Each Series [_] Debenture will bear interest at the rate of [____]% per annum from [____________], 199[_] until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at the same rate per annum, compounded quarterly, payable (subject to the provisions of Article Three) quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date", commencing on [___________], 19[__]), to the person in whose name such Series [_] Debenture or any predecessor Series [_] Debenture is registered, at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment, which, except as set forth below, shall be the close of business on the March 15, June 15, September 15 or December 15 next preceding that Interest Payment Date. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such regular record date, and may be paid to the person in whose name the Series [_] Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Debentures) is registered at the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered holders of the Series [_] Debentures not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Series [_] Debentures may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and for any period shorter than a full quarterly interest period for which interest is computed, the amount of interest payable will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in such a 30-day month. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Series [_] Debentures is not a business day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such business day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding business day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. ARTICLE TWO Optional Redemption of the Series [_] Debentures SECTION 2.01. [Except as provided in Section 2.02, Series [_] Debentures may not be redeemed by the Company prior to [__________], 19[__].] [Subject to the terms of Article Three of the Indenture], the Company shall have the right to redeem the Series [_] Debentures, in whole or in part, from time to time, [on or after [___________], 19[__],] at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, including Compounded Interest, if any, to the date of such redemption (the "Optional Redemption Price"). Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the Optional Redemption Price. SECTION 2.02. If, at any time, a Tax Event (as defined below) shall occur or be continuing and (i) the Regular Trustees and the Company shall have received an opinion (a "Redemption Tax Opinion") of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters that, as a result of a Tax Event, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the Company would be precluded from deducting the interest on the Series [_] Debentures for United States federal income tax purposes even if the Series [_] Debentures were distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of such holder's interest in SunAmerica Capital [_] as set forth in the Declaration of Trust or (ii) the Regular Trustees shall have been informed by such tax counsel that a No Recognition Opinion (as defined below) cannot be delivered to SunAmerica Capital [_], the Company shall have the right at any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, to redeem the Series [_] Debentures in whole or in part for cash at the Optional Redemption Price within 90 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event; provided, however, that, if at the time there is available to the Company or the Regular Trustees on behalf of SunAmerica Capital [_] the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90 day period, the Tax Event by taking some ministerial action ("Ministerial Action"), such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure, which has no adverse effect on SunAmerica Capital [_], the Company or the holders of the Preferred Securities, the Company or the Regular Trustees on behalf of SunAmerica Capital [_] will pursue such measure in lieu of redemption and provided further that the Company shall have no right to redeem the Series [_] Debentures while the Regular Trustees on behalf of SunAmerica Capital [_] are pursuing any such Ministerial Action. "Tax Event" means that the Company and the Regular Trustees shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters (a "Dissolution Tax Opinion") to the effect that on or after [__________], 19[__], as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (b) any amendment to, or change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority (including the enactment of any legislation and the publication of any judicial decision or regulatory determination), (c) any interpretation or pronouncement that provides for a position with respect to such laws or regulations that differs from the theretofore generally accepted position or (d) any action taken by any governmental agency or regulatory authority, which amendment or change is enacted, promulgated, issued or announced or which interpretation or pronouncement is issued or announced or which action is taken, in each case on or after [__________], 19[__], there is more than an insubstantial risk that (i) SunAmerica Capital [_] is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to United States federal income tax with respect to income accrued or received on the Series [_] Debentures, (ii) SunAmerica Capital [_] is, or will be within 90 days of the date thereof, subject to more than a de minimis amount of taxes, duties or other governmental charges or (iii) interest payable by the Company to SunAmerica Capital [_] on the Series [_] Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date thereof will not be, deductible by the Company for United States federal income tax purposes. "No Recognition Opinion" means an opinion of a nationally recognized independent tax counsel experienced in such matters, which opinion may rely on any then applicable published revenue ruling of the Internal Revenue Service, to the effect that the holders of the Preferred Securities will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of a dissolution of SunAmerica Capital [_] and distribution of the Series [_] Debentures as provided in the Declaration of Trust. SECTION 2.03. If the Series [_] Debentures are only partially redeemed pursuant to this Article Two, the Series [_] Debentures will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a partial redemption of the Series [_] Debentures would result in the delisting of the Preferred Securities by any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed, the Company shall not be permitted to effect such partial redemption and will only redeem the Series [_] Debentures in whole. ARTICLE THREE Extension of Interest Payment Period SECTION 3.01. So long as the Company is not in default in the payment of interest on the Series [_] Debentures, the Company shall have the right, at any time during the term of the Series [_] Debentures, from time to time to extend the interest payment period of such Series [_] Debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods (the "Extended Interest Payment Period"), at the end of which period the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid thereon (together with interest thereon at the rate of [____]% per annum to the extent permitted by applicable law, compounded quarterly ("Compounded Interest")). During such Extended Interest Payment Period the Company shall not (i) declare or pay any dividend on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any guarantee payments with respect thereto or (ii) make any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal or any debt securities issued by the Company which rank pari passu with or junior to the Series [_] Debentures; provided that (i) the Company may pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon conversion of its Series D Mandatory Conversion Premium Dividend Preferred Stock or upon the conversion of any other Preferred Stock of the Company as may be outstanding from time to time, in each case in accordance with the terms of such stock and (ii) the foregoing will not apply to any stock dividends paid by the Company. Prior to the termination of any such Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company may pay all or any portion of the interest accrued on the Series [_] Debentures on any Interest Payment Date to holders of record on the regular record date for such Interest Payment Date or from time to time further extend such Period; provided that such Period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarterly interest periods. Upon the termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest then due, together with Compounded Interest, the Company may select a new Extended Interest Payment Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest shall be due and payable during an Extended Interest Payment Period, except at the end thereof. At the end of the Extended Interest Payment Period the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid on the Series [_] Debentures including any Compounded Interest which shall be payable to the holders of the Series [_] Debentures in whose names the Series [_] Debentures are registered in the Debenture register on the first record date after the end of the Extended Interest Payment Period. SECTION 3.02. (a) So long as the Property Trustee is the legal owner and holder of record of the Series [_] Debentures, at the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall give both the Property Trustee and the Trustee written notice of its selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period one business day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date on which distributions on the Preferred Securities are payable or (ii) the date SunAmerica Capital [_] is required to give notice of the record date or the date such distributions are payable to the New York Stock Exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Preferred Securities, but in any event not less than one business day prior to such record date. The Company shall cause SunAmerica Capital [_] to give notice of the Company's selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period to the holders of the Preferred Securities. (b) If as a result of a Dissolution Event Series [_] Debentures have been distributed to holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities, at the time the Company selects an Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company shall give the holders of the Series [_] Debentures and the Trustee written notice of its selection of such Extended Interest Payment Period at least 10 business days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the record or payment date of such interest payment to the New York Stock Exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Series [_] Debentures. SECTION 3.03. The quarter in which any notice is given pursuant to Section 3.02 shall be counted as one of the 20 quarters permitted in the maximum Extended Interest Payment Period permitted under this Article Three. ARTICLE FOUR Covenants Applicable to Series [_] Debentures SECTION 4.01. So long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, the Company will not (a) declare or pay any dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any guarantee payments with respect thereto or (b) make any payment of interest, premium (if any) or principal on any debt securities issued by the Company that rank pari passu with or junior to the Series [_] Debentures, if at such time (i) the Company shall be in default with respect to its Guarantee Payments (as defined in the Guarantee Agreement) or other payment obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, (ii) there shall have occurred any Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Series [_] Debentures or (iii) the Company shall have given notice of its election of an Extended Interest Payment Period and such Period, or any extension thereof, is continuing; provided that (a) the Company will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any of its Series D Mandatory Conversion Premium Dividend Preferred Stock [and [_____] Preferred Stock] in accordance with the terms of such stock and (b) the foregoing will not apply to any stock dividends paid by the Company. SECTION 4.02. In connection with the distribution of the Series [_] Debentures to the holders of the Preferred Securities upon a Dissolution Event, the Company will use its best efforts to list such Series [_] Debentures on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange as the Preferred Securities are then listed and traded. SECTION 4.03. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities to comply fully with all of its obligations and agreements under the Declaration of Trust, including, without limitation, its obligations under Article IV thereof. SECTION 4.04. Prior to the distribution of Series [_] Debentures to the holders of Preferred Securities upon a Dissolution Event, the Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities (i) not to cause or permit the Common Securities to be transferred except as permitted by the Declaration of Trust and (ii) not to take any action which would cause the Trust to cease to be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes, except in connection with a distribution of the Series [_] Debentures as provided in the Declaration of Trust.

Upon such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Guarantee Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. (b) The right of any Holder of Preferred Securities to receive payment of the Guarantee Payments in accordance with this Guarantee Agreement, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, shall not be impaired without the consent of each such Holder. SECTION 2.7 Disclosure of Information.

(a) This Guarantee Agreement shall be held by the Guarantee Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. The Guarantee Trustee shall not transfer its right, title and interest in the Guarantee Agreement to any Person except a Successor Guarantee Trustee on acceptance by such Successor Guarantee Trustee of its appointment to act as Guarantee Trustee or to a Holder of Preferred Securities exercising his or her rights pursuant to Section 5.4. The right, title and interest of the Guarantee Trustee to the Guarantee Agreement shall vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter be appointed as Guarantee Trustee in accordance with Article IV. Such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not conveyancing documents have been executed and delivered. (b) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Guarantee Trustee shall enforce this Guarantee Agreement for the benefit of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. (c) This Guarantee Agreement and all moneys received by the Property Trustee hereunder in respect of the Guarantee Payments will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of, or for the benefit of that Guarantee Trustee or its agents or their creditors. (d) The Guarantee Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default, transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the holders of the Preferred Securities, as their names and addresses appear upon the register, notice of all Events of Default known to the Guarantee Trustee, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice; provided, that, the Guarantee 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 Guarantee Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. The Guarantee Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default except any default as to which the Guarantee Trustee shall have received written notice or a Responsible Officer charged with the administration of this Guarantee Agreement shall have obtained written notice. (e) The Guarantee Trustee shall not resign as a Trustee unless a Successor Guarantee Trustee has been appointed and accepted that appointment in accordance with Article IV. SECTION 3.2 Certain Rights and Duties of the Guarantee Trustee. (a) The Guarantee Trustee, before the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Guarantee Agreement, and no implied covenants shall be read into this Guarantee Agreement against the Guarantee Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.6(a)), the Guarantee Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. (b) No provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Guarantee Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred: (A) the duties and obligations of the Guarantee Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Guarantee Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Guarantee Agreement against the Guarantee Trustee; and (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee 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 Guarantee Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Guarantee Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Guarantee Trustee, the Guarantee Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Guarantee Agreement; (ii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Guarantee Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Guarantee Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (iii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Preferred Securities as provided herein relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee Agreement; and (iv) no provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall require the Guarantee Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Guarantee Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(a) and (b): (i) Whenever in the administration of this Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and rely upon a certificate, which shall comply with the provisions of Section 314(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, signed by any authorized officer of the Guarantor; (ii) The Guarantor Trustee (A) may consult with counsel (which may be counsel to the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and may include any of its employees) selected by it in good faith and with due care and the written advice or opinion of such counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon and in accordance with such advice and opinion and (B) shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Guarantee Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction; (iii) The Guarantee 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 Guarantee Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it in good faith and with due care; (iv) The Guarantee Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement at the request or direction of any Holders of Preferred Securities, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Guarantee Trustee reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction; provided that nothing contained in this clause (iv) shall relieve the Guarantee Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived) to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in this exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; and (v) Any action taken by the Guarantee Trustee or its agents hereunder shall bind the Holders of the Preferred Securities and the signature of the Guarantee Trustee or its agents alone shall be sufficient and effective to perform any such action; and no third party shall be required to inquire as to the authority of the Guarantee Trustee to so act, or as to its compliance with any of the terms and provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, both of which shall be conclusively evidenced by the Guarantee Trustee's or its agent's taking such action. SECTION 3.3 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Guarantee. The recitals contained in this Guarantee shall be taken as the statements of the Guarantor and the Guarantee Trustee does not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Guarantee Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Guarantee Agreement. ARTICLE IV GUARANTEE TRUSTEE SECTION 4.1 Qualifications. (a) There shall at all times be a Guarantee Trustee which shall: (i) not be an Affiliate of the Guarantor; and (ii) be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or Person permitted by the Commission to act as an institutional trustee under the Trust Indenture Act, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the supervising or examining authority referred to above, then for the purposes of this Section 4.1(a)(ii), the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Guarantee Trustee shall cease to satisfy the requirements of clauses (i)-(ii) above, the Guarantee Trustee shall immediately resign in the manner and with the effect set out in Section 4.2. If the Guarantee Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Guarantee Trustee and the Guarantor shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. SECTION 4.2 Appointment, Removal and Resignation of Guarantee Trustee. (a) Subject to Section 4.2(b), the Guarantee Trustee may be appointed or removed without cause at any time by the Guarantor. (b) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be removed in accordance with Section 4.2(a) until a Successor Guarantee Trustee possessing the qualifications to act as Guarantee Trustee under Section 4.1(a) has been appointed and has accepted such appointment by written instrument executed by such Successor Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor and the Guarantee Trustee being removed. (c) The Guarantee Trustee appointed to office shall hold office until his successor shall have been appointed or until its removal or resignation. (d) The Guarantee Trustee may resign from office (without need for prior or subsequent accounting) by an instrument (a "Resignation Request") in writing signed by the Guarantee Trustee and delivered to the Guarantor, which resignation shall take effect upon such delivery or upon such later date as is specified therein; provided, however, that no such resignation of the Guarantee Trustee shall be effective until a Successor Guarantee Trustee possessing the qualifications to act as Guarantee Trustee under Section 4.1(a) has been appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by such Successor Guarantee Trustee and delivered to Guarantor and the resigning Guarantee Trustee. (e) If no Successor Guarantee Trustee shall have been appointed and accepted appointment as provided in this Section 4.2 within 60 days after delivery to the Guarantor of a Resignation Request, the resigning Guarantee Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a Successor Guarantee Trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a Successor Guarantee Trustee. ARTICLE V GUARANTEE SECTION 5.1 Guarantee. The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay in full to the Holders the Guarantee Payments (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the Issuer) regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim which the Issuer may have or assert.

SECTION 5.2 Waiver of Notice. The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guarantee Agreement and of any liability to which it applies or may apply, presentment, demand for payment, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer or any other Person before proceeding against the Guarantor, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and demands. SECTION 5.3 Obligations Not Affected. The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of any of the following: (a) the release or waiver, by operation of law or otherwise, of the performance or observance by the Issuer of any express or implied agreement, covenant, term or condition relating to the Preferred Securities to be performed or observed by the Issuer; (b) the extension of time for the payment by the Issuer of all or any portion of the Distributions (other than an extension of time for payment of Distributions that results from the extension of any interest payment period on the Debentures), Redemption Price, Liquidation Distribution or any other sums payable under the terms of the Preferred Securities or the extension of time for the performance of any other obligation under, arising out of, or in connection with, the Preferred Securities; (c) any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the Holders to enforce, assert or exercise any right, privilege, power or remedy conferred on the Holders pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Securities, or any action on the part of the Issuer granting indulgence or extension of any kind; (d) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of any collateral, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of debt of, or other similar proceedings affecting, the Issuer or any of the assets of the Issuer; (e) any invalidity of, or defect or deficiency in, the Preferred Securities; (f) the settlement or compromise of any obligation guaranteed hereby or hereby incurred; or (g) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 5.3 that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give notice to, or obtain consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing. SECTION 5.4 Enforcement of Guarantee.

SECTION 5.5 Guarantee of Payment. This Guarantee Agreement creates a guarantee of payment and not merely of collection. This Guarantee Agreement will not be discharged except by payment of the Guarantee Payments in full (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the Issuer). SECTION 5.6 Subrogation. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of the Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to the Holders by the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this Guarantee Agreement, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee Agreement. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay over such amount to the Holders. SECTION 5.7 Independent Obligations. The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Preferred Securities and that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee Agreement notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a) through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.3 hereof. ARTICLE VI LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION SECTION 6.1 Limitation of Transactions.

In addition, so long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, the Guarantor (i) will remain the sole direct or indirect owner of all of the outstanding Common Securities and shall not cause or permit the Common Securities to be transferred except to the extent such transfer is permitted under Section 9.1(c) of the Declaration; provided that any permitted successor of the Guarantor under the Indenture may succeed to the Guarantor's ownership of the Common Securities and (ii) will not take any action which would cause the Issuer to cease to be treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes except in connection with a distribution of Debentures as provided in the Declaration. SECTION 6.2 Subordination. This Guarantee Agreement will constitute an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and will rank (i) subordinate and junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of the Guarantor, including the Debentures, except those made pari passu or subordinate by their terms, and (ii) senior to all capital stock now or hereafter issued by the Guarantor and to any guarantee now or hereafter entered into by the Guarantor in respect of any of its capital stock. The Guarantor's obligations under this Guarantee Agreement will rank pari passu with respect to obligations under other Guarantee Agreements which it may enter into from time to time to the extent that such agreements shall be entered into in substantially the form hereof and provide for comparable guarantees by the Guarantor of payment on preferred securities issued by other SunAmerica Capital Trusts. ARTICLE VII TERMINATION SECTION 7.1 Termination. This Guarantee Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon full payment of the Redemption Price of all Preferred Securities, upon the distribution of Debentures to Holders of Preferred Securities and Common Securities in exchange for all of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities or upon full payment of the amounts payable in accordance with the Declaration upon liquidation of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee Agreement will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any Holder must restore payment of any sums paid with respect to the Preferred Securities or this Guarantee Agreement. ARTICLE VIII LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION SECTION 8.1 Exculpation.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Guarantor prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Guarantor of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 8.2(a).

SECTION 9.2 Amendments.

SECTION 2.02. Deposit of Stock; Execution and Delivery of Receipts in Respect Thereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Company or any holder of Stock may deposit such Stock under this Deposit Agreement by delivery to the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for the Stock to be deposited, properly endorsed or accompanied, if required by the Depositary, by a properly executed instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Depositary, together with (i) all such certifications as may be required by the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and (ii) a written order of the Company or such holder, as the case may be, directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to or upon the written order of the person or persons stated in such order a Receipt or Receipts for the number of Depositary Shares representing such deposited Stock.

The Depositary shall execute and deliver such Receipt or Receipts at the New York Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of any person requesting such delivery and for the account of such person, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such person. In each case, delivery will be made only upon payment by such person to the Depositary of all taxes and other governmental charges and any fees payable in connection with such deposit and the transfer of the deposited Stock. The Company shall deliver to the Depositary from time to time such quantities of Receipts as the Depositary may request to enable the Depositary to perform its obligations under this Deposit Agreement. SECTION 2.03. Redemption and Conversion of Stock.(*) Whenever the Company shall elect to redeem or be required to convert shares of Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Articles Supplementary, it shall (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Depositary) give the Depositary in its capacity as Depositary not less than 5 business days' prior notice of the proposed date of the mailing of a notice of redemption or conversion of Stock and the simultaneous redemption or conversion of the Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed or converted and of the number of such shares of Stock held by the Depositary to be redeemed or converted. The Depositary shall, as directed by the Company in writing, mail, first class postage prepaid, notice of the redemption or conversion of Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption or conversion of the Depositary Shares representing the Stock to be redeemed or converted, not less than 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption or conversion of such Stock and Depositary Shares, to the record holders of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed or converted, at the addresses of such holders as the same appear on the records of the Depositary; provided, that if the effectiveness of a Merger or Consolidation (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) makes it impracticable to provide at least 30 days' notice, the Depositary shall provide such notice as soon as practicable prior to such effectiveness. Any such notice shall also be published in the same manner as notices of redemption or conversion of Stock are required to be published pursuant to Section 3[ ] of the Articles Supplementary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither failure to mail or publish any such notice to one or more such holders nor any defect in any notice shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption or conversion. The Company shall provide the Depositary with such notice, and each such notice shall state: the redemption or conversion date; the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed or converted; if fewer than all the Depositary Shares held by any holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares held by such holder to be so redeemed; in the case of a call for redemption, the call price payable upon redemption and the Current Market Price (as defined in the Articles Supplementary to be used to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon redemption; whether the Company is exercising any option to deliver shares of Common Stock in lieu of any cash consideration pursuant to Section 3[ ] of the Articles Supplementary and the Current Market Price to be used to calculate the number of such shares; the place or places where Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares to be redeemed or converted are to be surrendered for redemption or conversion; whether the Company is depositing with a bank or trust company on or before the redemption or conversion date, the shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, payable by the Company and the proposed date of such deposit; the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends payable per share of Stock to be redeemed or converted to and including such redemption or conversion date, as the case may be, and that dividends in respect of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares to be redeemed or converted will cease to accrue on such redemption or conversion date (unless the Company shall default in delivering shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, at the time and place specified in such notice). On the date of any such redemption or conversion, the Depositary shall surrender the certificate or certificates held by the Depositary evidencing the number of shares of Stock to be redeemed or converted in the manner specified in the notice of redemption or conversion of Stock provided by the Company pursuant to Section 3[ ] of the Articles Supplementary. The Depositary shall, thereafter, redeem or convert the number of Depositary Shares representing such redeemed or converted Stock upon the surrender of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares in the manner provided in the notice sent to record holders of Receipts; provided, that the Depositary shall have received, upon surrendering such certificate or certificates as aforesaid, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to convert or redeem such number of Depositary Shares (including, in the event that the Company elects pursuant to Section 3[ ] of the Articles Supplementary to exercise any option to deliver shares of Common Stock in lieu of any cash consideration payable on the Effective Date (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of any Merger or Consolidation, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to such cash consideration (as determined in the manner set forth in the Articles Supplementary)), plus any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect thereto to and including the date of any such redemption or conversion and any other cash consideration payable on the Effective Date of a Merger or Consolidation (other than any dividends or other cash consideration payable on the Effective Date of a Merger or Consolidation that the Company has elected to pay in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3[ ] of the Articles Supplementary) as instructed and calculated by the Company. In case fewer than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Depositary by lot or on a pro rata basis. - ---------- (*) This section to be modified to discuss specific redemption or conversion terms of the Stock, if any. Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and after the redemption or conversion date (unless the Company shall have failed to redeem or convert the shares of Stock to be redeemed or converted by it upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates therefor by the Depositary as described in the preceding paragraph), the Depositary Shares called for redemption or subject to conversion shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, payable upon redemption or conversion upon surrender of such Receipts) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate. Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be converted into or redeemed for shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to [one-fiftieth] of the number of shares of Common Stock delivered, and the holders thereof shall be entitled to [one-fiftieth] of the cash, if any, payable, in respect of the shares of Stock pursuant to the Articles Supplementary. The foregoing shall be subject further to the terms and conditions of the Articles Supplementary. If fewer than all of the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt are called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the holder of such Receipt upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with the shares of Common Stock and all accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the date fixed for redemption payable in respect of the Depositary Shares called for redemption, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption. To the extent that Depositary Shares are converted into or redeemed for shares of Common Stock and all of such shares of Common Stock cannot be distributed to the record holders of Receipts converted or called for redemption without creating fractional interests in such shares, the Depositary may, with the consent of the Company, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of such shares of Common Stock at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper, and the net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Section 3.02, be distributed or made available for distribution to such record holders that would otherwise receive fractional interests in such shares of Common Stock. The Depositary shall not be required (a) to issue, transfer or exchange any Receipts for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days next preceding any selection of Depositary Shares and Stock to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of notice of redemption of Depositary Shares or (b) to transfer or exchange for another Receipt any Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares called or being called for redemption, in whole or in part, or subject to conversion except as provided in the second preceding paragraph of this Section 2.03. SECTION 2.04. Register of Transfer of Receipts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall register on its books from time to time transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof at the Corporate Office, the New York Office or such other office as the Depositary may designate for such purpose, by the record holder in person or by a duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, together with evidence of the payment of any transfer taxes as may be required by law. Upon such surrender, the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts and deliver the same to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered. SECTION 2.05. Combination and Split-ups of Receipts. Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Corporate Office, the New York Office or such other office as the Depositary may designate for the purpose of effecting a split-up or combination of Receipts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a new Receipt or Receipts in the authorized denominations requested evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered; provided, however, that the Depositary shall not issue any Receipt evidencing a fractional Depositary Share. SECTION 2.06. Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Stock.(*) Any holder of a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw any or all of the Stock (but only in whole shares of Stock) represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipts and all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares by surrendering such Receipt or Receipts at the Corporate Office, the New York Office or at such other office as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals. After such surrender, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to such holder, or to the person or persons designated by such holder as hereinafter provided, the whole number of shares of Stock and all such money and other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered for withdrawal. If the Receipt or Receipts delivered by the holder to the Depositary in connection with such withdrawal shall evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of whole Depositary Shares representing the whole number of shares of Stock to be withdrawn, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such whole number of shares of Stock and such money and other property, if any, to be withdrawn, deliver to such holder, or (subject to Section 2.04) upon his order, a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing such excess number of whole Depositary Shares. Delivery of the Stock and such money and other property being withdrawn may be made by the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depositary may deem appropriate, which, if required by the Depositary, shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer. - ---------- (*) This Section to be modified to reflect any restrictions on withdrawal of underlying securities. If the Stock and the money and other property being withdrawn are to be delivered to a person or persons other than the record holder of the Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of Stock, such holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order so directing the Depositary and the Depositary may require that the Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such holder for withdrawal of such shares of Stock be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer in blank and that the signature on such instrument of transfer be guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution (banks, stockbrokers, savings and loan associations and credit unions with membership in an approved signature guarantee medallion program) pursuant to Rule 17Ad-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Depositary shall deliver the Stock and the money and other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal, without unreasonable delay, at the office at which such Receipts were surrendered, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the holder thereof, such delivery may be made, without unreasonable delay, at such other place as may be designated by such holder. SECTION 2.07. Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Split-up, Combination, Surrender and Exchange of Receipts and Withdrawal or Deposit of Stock. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt, the delivery of any distribution thereon or the withdrawal or deposit of Stock, the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company may require any or all of the following: (i) payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Depositary or the Company shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any tax or other governmental charge with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge with respect to the Stock being deposited or withdrawn or with respect to the Common Stock or other securities or property of the Company being issued upon conversion or redemption); (ii) production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature; and (iii) compliance with such reasonable regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Company may establish not inconsistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement. The deposit of Stock may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against Stock or the registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of outstanding Receipts and the withdrawal of deposited Stock may be suspended (i) during any period when the register of stockholders of the Company is closed, (ii) if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary's Agents or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of this Deposit Agreement, or (iii) with the approval of the Company, for any other reason. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under this Deposit Agreement any shares of Stock that are required to be registered under the Securities Act unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect as to such shares of Stock. SECTION 2.08. Lost Receipts, etc. In case any Receipt shall be mutilated or destroyed or lost or stolen, the Depositary shall execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt unless the Depositary has notice that such Receipt has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser; provided, however, that the holder thereof provides the Depositary with (i) evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of such destruction, loss or theft of such Receipt, of the authenticity thereof and of his ownership thereof, (ii) reasonable indemnification satisfactory to the Depositary or the payment of any charges incurred by the Depositary in obtaining insurance in lieu of such indemnification and (iii) payment of any expense (including fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary) in connection with such execution and delivery. SECTION 2.09. Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts. All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary's Agent shall be cancelled by the Depositary. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Depositary is authorized to destroy such Receipts so cancelled. ARTICLE III CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDERS OF RECEIPTS AND THE COMPANY SECTION 3.01. Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. Any person presenting Stock for deposit or any holder of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file such proof of residence or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties as the Depositary or the Company may reasonably deem necessary or proper. The Depositary or the Company may withhold or delay the delivery of any Receipt, the registration of transfer, redemption, conversion or exchange of any Receipt, the withdrawal of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by any Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or other distribution until such proof or other information is filed, such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties are made. SECTION 3.02. Payment of Taxes or Other Governmental Charges. If any tax or other governmental charge shall become payable by or on behalf of the Depositary with respect to (i) any Receipt, (ii) the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt, (iii) the Stock (or fractional interest therein) or other property represented by such Depositary Shares, or (iv) any transaction referred to in Section 4.06, such tax (including transfer, issuance or acquisition taxes, if any) or governmental charge shall be payable by the holder of such Receipt, who shall pay the amount thereof to the Depositary. Until such payment is made, registration of transfer of any Receipt or any split-up or combination thereof or any withdrawal of the Stock or money or other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be refused, any dividend or other distribution may be withheld and any part or all of the Stock or other property (including Common Stock received in connection with a conversion or redemption of Stock) represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be sold for the account of the holder thereof (after attempting by reasonable means to notify such holder prior to such sale). Any dividend or other distribution so withheld and the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to any payment of such tax or other governmental charge, the holder of such Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency. SECTION 3.03. Withholding. The Depositary shall act as the tax withholding agent for any payments, distributions and exchanges made with respect to the Depositary Shares and Receipts, and the Stock, Common Stock or other securities or assets represented thereby (collectively, the "Securities"). The Depositary shall be responsible with respect to the Securities for the timely (i) collection and deposit of any required withholding or backup withholding tax, and (ii) filing of any information returns or other documents with federal (and other applicable) taxing authorities. SECTION 3.04. Representations and Warranties as to Stock. In the case of the initial deposit of the Stock, the Company and, in the case of subsequent deposits thereof, each person so depositing Stock under this Deposit Agreement shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that such Stock and each certificate therefor are valid and that the person making such deposit is duly authorized to do so. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit of the Stock and the issuance of Receipts therefor. ARTICLE IV THE STOCK, NOTICES SECTION 4.01. Cash Distributions. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Section 3.02, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 such amounts of such sum as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders; provided, however, that in case the Company or the Depositary shall be required by law to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be, only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any owner of Depositary Shares a fraction of one cent and any balance not so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and be treated as part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to record holders of Receipts then outstanding. SECTION 4.02. Distributions Other Than Cash. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash, rights, preferences or privileges upon the Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Section 3.02, distribute to record holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 such amounts of the securities or property received by it as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders, in any manner that the Depositary and the Company may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If, in the opinion of the Company after consultation with the Depositary, such distribution cannot be made proportionately among such record holders, or if for any other reason (including any tax withholding or securities law requirement), the Depositary deems, after consultation with the Company, such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Company which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Section 3.02, be distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to record holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received in cash. SECTION 4.03. Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. If the Company shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the persons in whose names Stock is registered on the books of the Company any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance be made available by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts in such manner as the Company shall instruct (including by the issue to such record holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges); provided, however, that (a) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Company determines and instructs the Depositary that it is not lawful or feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available to some or all holders of Receipts (by the issue of warrants or otherwise) or (b) if and to the extent instructed by holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, the Depositary shall then, in each case, and if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges so permit, sell such rights, preferences or privileges of such holders at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall be distributed by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.01 in the case of a distribution received in cash. If registration under the Securities Act of the securities to which any rights, preferences or privileges relate is required in order for holders of Receipts to be offered or sold such securities, the Company shall promptly file a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the holders of Receipts any right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such registration statement shall have become effective or unless the offering and sale of such securities to such holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act. If any other action under the law of any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to holders of Receipts, the Company agrees with the Depositary that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. SECTION 4.04. Notice of Dividends, Fixing of Record Date for Holders of Receipts. Whenever (i) any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable, or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or any rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered, with respect to the Stock, or (ii) the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders of Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of Stock are entitled to notice or of the mandatory conversion of, or any election on the part of the Company to call for the redemption of, any shares of Stock, the Depositary shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the Company with respect to the Stock) for the determination of the holders of Receipts (x) who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or (y) who shall be entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or to receive notice of such meeting or of such conversion or redemption. SECTION 4.05. Voting Rights. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the record holders of Receipts a notice, which shall be provided by the Company and which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting, (ii) a statement that the holders of Receipts at the close of business on a specified record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.04 will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of law, the Articles of Incorporation or the Articles Supplementary, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Stock represented by their respective Depositary Shares and (iii) a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of a holder of a Receipt on such record date, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The Company hereby agrees to take all reasonable action that may be deemed necessary by the Depositary in order to enable the Depositary to vote such Stock or cause such Stock to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of a Receipt, the Depositary will abstain from voting to the extent of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt. SECTION 4.06. Changes Affecting Stock and Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, etc. Upon any split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of Stock, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation affecting the Company or to which it is a party (other than a Merger or Consolidation) or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, the Depositary shall treat any shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) that shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of the Stock as new deposited property under this Deposit Agreement, and Receipts then outstanding shall thenceforth represent the proportionate interests of holders thereof in the new deposited property so received in exchange for or upon conversion or in respect of such Stock. In any such case the Depositary may, in its discretion, with the approval of the Company, execute and deliver additional Receipts, or may call for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited property. SECTION 4.07. Reports. The Depositary shall make available for inspection by holders of Receipts at the Corporate Office, the New York Office and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable during normal business hours any reports and communications received from the Company that are received by the Depositary as the holder of Stock. SECTION 4.08. Lists of Receipt Holders. Promptly upon request from time to time by the Company, the Depositary shall furnish to it a list, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all persons in whose names Receipts are registered on the books of the Depositary. At the expense of the Company, the Company shall have the right to inspect transfer and registration records of the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent or the Registrar, take copies thereof and require the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent or the Registrar to supply copies of such portions of such records as the Company may request. ARTICLE V THE DEPOSITARY, THE DEPOSITARY'S AGENTS, THE REGISTRAR AND THE COMPANY SECTION 5.01. Maintenance of Offices, Agencies, Transfer Books by the Depositary; the Registrar. Upon execution of this Deposit Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Depositary shall maintain (i) at the New York Office facilities for the execution and delivery, registration, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange, split-up, combination, redemption and conversion of Receipts and deposit and withdrawal of Stock and (ii) at the Corporate Office and at the offices of the Depositary's Agents, if any, facilities for the delivery, registration, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange, split-up, combination, conversion and redemption of Receipts and deposit and withdrawal of Stock, all in accordance with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement. The Depositary shall keep books at the Corporate Office for the registration and transfer of Receipts, which books at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the record holders of Receipts; provided that any such holder requesting to exercise such right shall certify to the Depositary that such inspection shall be for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as an owner of Depositary Shares. The Depositary shall consult with the Company upon receipt of any request for inspection. The Depositary may close such books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder. If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby or the Stock represented by such Depositary Shares shall be listed on one or more stock exchanges, the Depositary shall, with the approval of the Company, appoint a Registrar for registry of such Receipts or Depositary Shares in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or exchanges. Such Registrar (which may be the Depositary if so permitted by the requirements of such exchange or exchanges) may be removed and a substitute registrar appointed by the Depositary upon the request or with the approval of the Company.

The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Company by written notice of such removal delivered to the Depositary, such removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Company shall, within 45 days after the delivery of the notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, appoint a successor depositary, which shall be a bank or trust company, or an affiliate of a bank or trust company, having its principal office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If a successor depositary shall not have been appointed in 45 days, the resigning or removed Depositary may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor depositary. Every successor depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor and for all purposes shall be the Depositary under this Deposit Agreement, and such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Company, shall promptly execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all rights, title and interest in the Stock and any moneys or property held hereunder to such successor and shall deliver to such successor a list of the record holders of all outstanding Receipts. Any successor depositary shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to the record holders of Receipts. Any corporation into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of such Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act. Such successor depositary may execute the Receipts either in the name of the predecessor depositary or in the name of the successor depositary. SECTION 5.05. Corporate Notices and Reports. The Company agrees that it will deliver to the Depositary, and the Depositary will, promptly after receipt thereof, transmit to the record holders of Receipts, in each case at the address recorded in the Depositary's books, copies of all notices and reports (including financial statements) required by law, by the rules of any national securities exchange upon which the Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are listed or by the Articles of Incorporation and the Articles Supplementary to be furnished by the Company to holders of Stock. Such transmission will be at the Company's expense and the Company will provide the Depositary with such number of copies of such documents as the Depositary may reasonably request. In addition, the Depositary will transmit to the record holders of Receipts at the Company's expense such other documents as may be requested by the Company. SECTION 5.06. Deposit of Stock by the Company. The Company agrees with the Depositary that neither the Company nor any company controlled by the Company will at any time deposit any Stock if such Stock is required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act and no registration statement is at such time in effect as to such Stock. SECTION 5.07. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent and any Registrar against, and hold each of them harmless from, any liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may arise out of or in connection with its acting as Depositary, Depositary's Agent or Registrar, respectively, under this Deposit Agreement and the Receipts, except for any liability arising out of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any such person or persons. SECTION 5.08. Fees, Charges and Expenses. No fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary or any Depositary's Agent hereunder or of any Registrar shall be payable by any person other than the Company, except for any taxes and other governmental charges and except as provided in this Deposit Agreement. If, at the request of a holder of a Receipt, the Depositary incurs fees, charges or expenses for which it is not otherwise liable hereunder, such holder or other person will be liable for such fees, charges and expenses. All other fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary and any Depositary's Agent hereunder and of any Registrar (including, in each case, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incident to the performance of their respective obligations hereunder will be paid from time to time upon consultation and agreement between the Depositary and the Company as to the amount and nature of such fees, charges and expenses. ARTICLE VI AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION SECTION 6.01. Amendment. The form of the Receipts and any provision of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary in any respect that they may deem necessary or desirable.

After making such sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except to account for such net proceeds and money and other property. Upon the termination of this Deposit Agreement, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent and any Registrar under Sections 5.07 and 5.08.

It is a condition of this Receipt, and every successive holder hereof by accepting or holding the same consents and agrees, that title to this Receipt (and to the Depositary Shares evidenced hereby), when properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument; provided, however, that the Depositary may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the record holder hereof at such time as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distribution of dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in the Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes. 12. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, distribute to record holders of Receipts such amounts of such sums as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such holders; provided, however, that in case the Company or the Depositary shall be required by law to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be, only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any owner of Depositary Shares a fraction of one cent and any balance not so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and be treated as part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to record holders of Receipts then outstanding. 13. Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. If the Company shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the persons in whose name Stock is registered on the books of the Company any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance, subject to the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, be made available by the Depositary to the record holders of Receipts in such manner as the Company shall instruct. 14. Notice of Dividends, Fixing of Record Date. Whenever (i) any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable, or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or any rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered, with respect to the Stock, or (ii) the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders of Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of Stock are entitled to notice or of the mandatory conversion of, or any election on the part of the Company to call for redemption of, any shares of Stock, the Depositary shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the Company with respect to the Stock) for the determination of the holders of Receipts (x) who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or (y) who shall be entitled to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting or of such meeting or to receive notice of such conversion or redemption. 15. Voting Rights. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the record holders of Receipts a notice, which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting, (ii) a statement that the holders of Receipts at the close of business on a specified record date determined as provided in Paragraph 14 will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of law, the Articles of Incorporation or the Articles Supplementary, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Stock represented by their respective Depositary Shares, and (iii) a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of a holder of this Receipt on such record date the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by this Receipt in accordance with the instructions set forth in such request. The Company hereby agrees to take all reasonable action that may be deemed necessary by the Depositary in order to enable the Depositary to vote such Stock or cause such Stock to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the holder of this Receipt, the Depositary will abstain from voting to the extent of the Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by this Receipt. 16. Reports, Inspection of Transfer Books. The Depositary shall make available for inspection by holders of Receipts at the Corporate Office, the New York Office and at such other places as it may from time to time deem advisable during normal business hours any reports and communications received from the Company that are received by the Depositary as the holder of Stock. The Depositary shall keep books at the Corporate Office for the registration and transfer of Receipts, which books at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by the record holders of Receipts; provided that any such holder requesting to exercise such right shall certify to the Depositary that such inspection shall be for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as an owner of Depositary Shares. 17. Liability of the Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the Registrar and the Company. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor the Registrar nor the Company shall incur any liability to any holder of this Receipt, if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation thereunder of any governmental authority or, in the case of the Depositary, the Registrar or any Depositary's Agent, by reason of any provision present or future, of the Articles of Incorporation or the Articles Supplementary or, in the case of the Company, the Depositary, the Registrar or any Depositary's Agent, by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstances beyond the control of the relevant party, the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, the Registrar or the Company shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing that the terms of the Deposit Agreement provide shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent, the Registrar or the Company incur any liability to any holder of this Receipt (i) by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing that the terms of the Deposit Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed, or (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit Agreement except, in the case of the Depositary, any Depositary's Agent or the Registrar, if such exercise or failure to exercise discretion is caused by its negligence or bad faith. 18. Obligations of the Depositary, the Depositary's Agents, the Registrar and the Company. The Company assumes no obligation and shall be subject to no liability under the Deposit Agreement or this Receipt to the holder hereof or other persons, except to perform in good faith such obligations as are specifically set forth and undertaken by it to perform in the Deposit Agreement.

Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor the Registrar nor the Company shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding with respect to Stock, Depositary Shares or Receipts or Common Stock that in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense and liability be furnished as often as may be required. Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary's Agent nor the Registrar nor the Company will be liable for any action or failure to act by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Stock for deposit, any holder of this Receipt or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information. 19. Termination of Deposit Agreement. Whenever so directed by the Company, the Depositary will terminate the Deposit Agreement by mailing notice of such termination to the record holders of all Receipts then outstanding at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination.

EX-5.1 12 Exhibit 5.1 [LETTERHEAD OF DAVIS POLK & WARDWELL] September 27, 1995 SunAmerica Inc. 1 SunAmerica Center Los Angeles, California 90067-6022 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as special counsel for SunAmerica Inc., a Maryland corporation ("SunAmerica"), and SunAmerica Capital Trust II, SunAmerica Capital Trust III and SunAmerica Capital Trust IV, each a statutory business trust created under the Business Trust Act of the State of Delaware (each a "Trust" and collectively, the "Trusts"), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 33- 62405), as amended (the "Registration Statement"), relating to registration under the Act of up to $1,000,000,000 aggregate public offering price (or the equivalent thereof in one or more foreign currencies or composite currencies) of (i) unsecured debt securities (the "Debt Securities"), which may be issued pursuant to a Senior Indenture dated as of April 15, 1993 between SunAmerica and First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee (as amended or supplemented, the "Senior Indenture"), a Subordinated Indenture dated as of April __, 1993 to be entered into between SunAmerica and First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee (as amended or supplemented, the "Subordinated Indenture") or a Junior Subordinated Indenture dated as of March 15, 1995 between SunAmerica and The First National Bank of Chicago, as trustee (the "Indenture Trustee") (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Junior Subordinated Indenture" and, together with the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture, the "Indentures"), (ii) shares of preferred stock, without par value (the "Preferred Stock"), which may be represented by depositary shares (the "Depositary Shares") evidenced by depositary receipts (the "Receipts"); (iii) shares of Common Stock of SunAmerica, $1.00 par value per share (the "Common Stock"); (iv) warrants to purchase Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other securities or rights (the "Warrants"); and (v) guarantees (the "Guarantees") of preferred securities to be issued by the Trusts, as described below. We will also act as special counsel to SunAmerica and the Trusts in connection with offerings from time to time of Preferred Securities of the Trusts (the "Preferred Securities") which are being registered under the Registration Statement. The Preferred Securities are to be issued by each Trust pursuant to an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the "Amended Declaration") to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware by the Trustees of the relevant Trust. The Preferred Securities are to be guaranteed by SunAmerica pursuant to Guarantees issued under a Guarantee Agreement (the "Guarantee Agreement") to be entered into by SunAmerica in respect of the Preferred Securities. The forms of Preferred Securities, Amended Declaration and Guarantee Agreement are filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement. We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 1. Assuming that the Subordinated Indenture, any Debt Securities and any supplemental indenture to be entered into in connection with the issuance of such Debt Securities have been duly authorized, when (i) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, (ii) a supplemental indenture in respect of the Debt Securities has been duly executed and delivered, (iii) the terms of the Debt Securities have been duly established in accordance with the applicable Indenture and the applicable supplemental indenture relating to such Debt Securities so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon SunAmerica and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over SunAmerica and (iv) the Debt Securities have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the applicable Indenture and the applicable supplemental indenture relating to such Debt Securities and duly issued and delivered by SunAmerica, the Debt Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of SunAmerica, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereinafter in effect relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (b) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 2. Assuming that the Guarantees have been duly authorized, when (i) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, (ii) the applicable Guarantee Agreement has been duly executed and delivered so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon SunAmerica and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over SunAmerica and (iii) the Preferred Securities have been duly issued and delivered by the applicable Trust as contemplated by the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement relating thereto, the Guarantees will constitute valid and binding obligations of SunAmerica, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or similar laws now or hereinafter in effect relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (b) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 3. Assuming that (i) the Warrant Agreement relating to the Warrants (the "Warrant Agreement") has been duly executed and delivered, (ii) the terms of the Warrants and of their issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the Warrant Agreement relating to such Warrants so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon SunAmerica and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over SunAmerica and (iii) the Warrants have been duly executed and countersigned in accordance with the Warrant Agreement relating to such Warrants, and issued and sold in the form and in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement relating thereto, such Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of SunAmerica, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as (a) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium and other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally, and (b) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 4. Assuming that (i) the Deposit Agreement relating to the Depositary Shares has been duly executed and delivered, (ii) the terms of the Depositary Shares and of their issuance and sale have been duly established in conformity with the Deposit Agreement relating to such Depositary Shares so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon SunAmerica and so as to comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental or regulatory body having jurisdiction over SunAmerica, (iii) the terms of the Preferred Stock have been duly and properly authorized for issuance and Articles Supplementary to the Charter of SunAmerica classifying the Preferred Stock and setting forth the terms thereof have been filed, (iv) such shares of Preferred Stock have been duly issued and paid for in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement and any prospectus supplement relating thereto and (v) the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares are duly issued against the deposit of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, such Receipts will be validly issued and will entitle the holders thereof to the rights specified therein and in the Deposit Agreement. We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and our opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the headings "Legal Matters" in the Prospectuses forming a part of the Registration Statement.

At your request, this opinion is being furnished to you. For purposes of giving the opinions hereinafter set forth, our examination of documents has been limited to the examination of originals or copies of the following: (a) The Certificate of Trust of Trust II, dated as of August 31, 1995, as filed in the office of the Secretary of the State of Delaware (the "Secretary of State") on September 6, 1995; (b) The Certificate of Trust of Trust III, dated as of August 31, 1995, as filed with the Secretary of State on September 6, 1995; (c) The Certificate of Trust of Trust IV, dated as of August 31, 1995, as filed with the Secretary of State on September 6, 1995 (the Certificates of Trust described in items (a)-(c) are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Certificates of Trust"); (d) The Declaration of Trust of Trust II, dated as of August 31, 1995, between SunAmerica and the trustees of Trust II named therein; (e) The Declaration of Trust of Trust III, dated as of August 31, 1995, between SunAmerica and the trustees of Trust III named therein; (f) The Declaration of Trust of Trust IV, dated as of August 31, 1995, between SunAmerica and the trustees of Trust IV named therein; (g) The Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form S-3, including a preliminary prospectus (the "Prospectus"), relating to the Preferred Securities of the Trusts representing preferred undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trusts (each, a "Preferred Security" and collectively, the "Preferred Securities"), filed by SunAmerica and the Trusts with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 1995; (h) A form of Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust for each of the Trusts, to be entered into between SunAmerica, the trustees of the Trust named therein, and the holders, from time to time, of the undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust (including the exhibits thereto) (collectively, the "Declarations and individually, a "Declaration"), attached as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; and (i) A Certificate of Good Standing for each of the Trusts, dated September 27, 1995, obtained from the Secretary of State. Initially capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are used as defined in the Declarations. For purposes of this opinion, we have not reviewed any documents other than the documents listed in paragraphs (a) through (i) above. In particular, we have not reviewed any document (other than the documents listed in paragraphs (a) through (i) above) that is referred to in or incorporated by reference into the documents reviewed by us. We have assumed that there exists no provision in any document that we have not reviewed that is inconsistent with the opinions stated herein. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own but rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects. With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as authentic originals, (ii) the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies or forms, and (iii) the genuineness of all signatures. For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed (i) that each of the Declarations constitutes the entire agreement among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, including with respect to the creation, operation and termination of the applicable Trust, and that the Declarations and the Certificates of Trust are in full force and effect and have not been amended, (ii) except to the extent provided in paragraph 1 below, the due organization or due formation, as the case may be, and valid existence in good standing of each party to the documents examined by us under the laws of the jurisdiction governing its organization or formation, (iii) the legal capacity of natural persons who are parties to the documents examined by us, (iv) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, such documents, (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery by all parties thereto of all documents examined by us, (vi) the receipt by each Person to whom a Preferred Security is to be issued by the Trusts (collectively, the "Preferred Security Holders") of a Preferred Security, in accordance with the Declarations and the Registration Statement, and (vii) that the Preferred Securities are issued and sold to the Preferred Security Holders in accordance with the Declarations and the Registration Statement. We have not participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement and assume no responsibility for its contents. This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding the securities laws of the State of Delaware), and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal laws and rules and regulations relating thereto. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to Delaware laws and rules, regulations and orders thereunder which are currently in effect. Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes of the State of Delaware was we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that: 1. Each of the Trusts has been duly created and is validly existing in good standing as a business trust under the Business Trust Act. 2. The Preferred Securities of each trust will represent valid and, subject to the qualifications set forth in paragraph 3 below, fully paid and nonassessable undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the applicable Trust. 3. The Preferred Security Holders, as beneficial owners of the applicable Trust, will be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We note that the Preferred Security Holders may be obligated pursuant to the applicable Declaration, to (i) provide indemnity and security in connection with and pay taxes or governmental charges arising from transfers of Preferred Security Certificates and the issuance of replacement Preferred Security Certificates, (ii) provide security and indemnity in connection with requests of or directions to the Property Trustee to exercise its rights and remedies under the applicable Declaration, and (iii) undertake as a party litigant to pay costs in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the applicable Declaration or against the Property Trustee, to the extent provided in the applicable Declaration.

We hereby consent to the use of our name under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus.
