PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This section contains a general summary of the information contained in this prospectus. It may not include all of the information that is important to you. You should read the entire prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference before making an investment decision.

Flextronics International Ltd.

We are a leading provider of advanced electronics manufacturing services to original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, primarily in the handheld electronics devices, information technologies infrastructure, communications infrastructure, computer and office automation, and consumer devices industries. We provide a network of design, engineering and manufacturing operations in 28 countries across four continents. Our strategy is to provide customers with end-to-end operational services where we take responsibility for engineering, supply chain management, new product introduction and implementation, manufacturing, and logistics management, with the goal of delivering a complete packaged product. In addition to the assembly of printed circuit boards and complete systems and products, our manufacturing services include the fabrication and assembly of plastic and metal enclosures, the fabrication of printed circuit boards and backplanes (which are printed circuit boards into which other printed circuit boards or cards may be inserted) and the fabrication and assembly of photonics components. Throughout the production process, we offer design and technology services; logistics services, such as materials procurement, inventory management, vendor management, packaging and distribution; and automation of key components of the supply chain through advanced information technologies. Finally, we offer after-market services such as network installation. By working closely with our customers and being highly responsive to their requirements throughout the design, manufacturing and distribution process, we believe that we can be an integral part of their operations, accelerate their time-to-market and time-to-volume production, and reduce their production costs. Our principal offices are located at 2 Changi South Lane, Singapore 486123. Our telephone number is (65) 6299-8888.

The Securities We May Offer

With this prospectus, we may offer debt securities, ordinary shares and warrants, or any combination of the foregoing. The aggregate offering price of securities that we offer with this prospectus will not exceed $1,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in non-U.S. currencies). Each time we offer securities with this prospectus, we will provide offerees with a prospectus supplement that will contain the specific terms of the securities being offered. The following is a summary of the securities we may offer with this prospectus.

Debt Securities

We may offer general obligations, which may be secured or unsecured, senior or subordinated and which may or may not be convertible into our ordinary shares. In this prospectus, we refer to the senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities together as the “debt securities.” The senior debt securities will have the same rank as all of our other indebtedness that is not subordinated. The subordinated debt securities will be entitled to payment only after payment on our senior debt. In addition, the subordinated debt securities will be effectively subordinated to creditors of our subsidiaries. Our board of directors will determine the terms of each series of debt securities being offered.

We will issue the debt securities under an indenture or indentures between us and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as the trustee. In this document, we have summarized general features of the debt securities from the indentures. We encourage you to read the indentures, which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

We are incorporated in Singapore under the Companies Act. Some of our directors and executive officers reside in Singapore. All or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons, and a substantial portion of our assets, are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for persons purchasing ordinary shares to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or Flextronics or to enforce against them, in the United States courts, judgments obtained in such courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. We have been advised by our Singapore legal advisors, Allen & Gledhill, that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Singapore courts, either in original actions or in actions for the enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States.

An investment in the securities offered by this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in these securities, you should carefully consider the information contained under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable supplement to this prospectus and under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” below in this prospectus, as well as the sections of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Certain Factors Affecting Operating Results.”

The material included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any accompanying prospectus supplement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. The words “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “plans” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements which refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Because these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements include:


	•	our ability to integrate acquired companies and manage changing operations;

	•	fluctuations in our customers’ requirements and in demand for their products;

	•	our strategic relationships with OEMs;

	•	increased competition;

	•	currency fluctuations.

Certain sectors of the EMS industry have experienced increasing competition, and many of our customers have experienced reduced demand for their products, in fiscal 2002, and these trends have continued in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. This, together with the costs of transitioning an increasing volume of production to lower-cost facilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2003, has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, our gross margins and income from operations. In addition, on May 20, 2002, we entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of NatSteel Broadway for approximately $364 million (based on then-current exchange rates) in cash. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, which might not be satisfied. If consummated, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits, or successfully integrate its operations. In addition, the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any accompanying prospectus supplement are subject to the other risks and uncertainties discussed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Certain Factors Affecting Operating Results” in our most recent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable supplement to this prospectus, the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered under this prospectus will be added to our general funds and may be used for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include:


	•	meeting our working capital requirements;

	•	funding capital expenditures;

	•	repaying debt; and

	•	financing acquisitions of facilities, assets and other companies.

Until the net proceeds have been used, they will be invested in short-term marketable securities.

Since inception, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares, and our credit facility prohibits the payment of cash dividends without the lenders’ prior consent. The terms of our senior subordinated notes also restrict our ability to pay cash dividends. We anticipate that all earnings in the foreseeable future will be retained to finance the continuing development of our business.

The following table presents our historical ratios of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated (in thousands):

For the purposes of computing the ratio of fixed charges, earnings consist of income (loss) before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and discount or premium related to indebtedness, whether expensed or capitalized, and that portion of rental expense we believe to be representative of interest.

The following description of the terms of these securities sets forth some of the general terms and provisions of securities that we may offer. The particular terms of securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which the general terms set forth below do not apply to those securities, will be described in the related prospectus supplement.

The following description of the terms of the debt securities summarizes some general terms that may apply to the debt securities offered under this prospectus. The description is not complete, and the particular terms of any issue of debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The debt securities will be either our senior debt securities or our subordinated debt securities. We will issue our debt securities under one or more separate indentures between us and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee. Senior debt securities will be issued under a senior indenture and

The indentures do not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. The indentures provide that debt securities may be issued up to the principal amount that we authorize from time to time. The senior debt securities will be secured or unsecured and will have the same rank as all of our other indebtedness that is not subordinated. The subordinated debt securities will be secured or unsecured and will be subordinated and junior to all senior indebtedness. The terms of the indentures do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to give holders of any debt securities protection against changes in our operations, financial condition or transactions involving us, but those provisions may be included in the documents that include the specific terms of the debt securities.

We may issue the debt securities in one or more separate series of senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities. The prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt securities being offered will specify the particular amounts, prices and terms of those debt securities. These terms may include:


	•	the title of the debt securities;

	•	any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities and the amount payable at maturity or on acceleration;

	•	if other than United States dollars, the currency or currencies, including the euro and other composite currencies, in which payments of principal or interest (or other payments) on the debt securities will be payable and whether the holder may elect payment to be made in a different currency;

	•	the maturity date, and any other date or dates when payments on the principal must be made or the method of determining that date or dates;

	•	interest rates, or the method for determining such rates, and the dates from which interest, if any, will accrue, and the dates when interest is payable;

	•	the right, if any, to extend the interest payment periods and the duration of the extensions;

	•	the places where payments may be made and the manner of payments;

	•	any mandatory or optional redemption provisions;

	•	any subordination provisions;

	•	the denominations in which debt securities will be issued;

	•	the terms applicable to any debt securities issued at a discount from their stated principal amount;

	•	if the amount of payments of principal or interest is to be determined by reference to an index or formula, or based on a coin or currency other than that in which the debt securities are stated to be payable, the manner in which these amounts are determined and the calculation agent, if any;

	•	whether the debt securities will be secured or unsecured (and, if secured, the nature of the collateral);

	•	whether the debt securities will be issued in fully registered form without coupons or in bearer form, with or without coupons, or any combination of these, and whether they will be issued in the form of one or more global securities in temporary or definitive form;

	•	whether and on what terms we will pay additional amounts to any holders of the debt securities in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted and, if so, whether and on


		what terms we will have the option to redeem the debt securities rather than pay the additional amounts;

	•	the certificates or forms required for the issuance of debt securities in definitive form;

	•	the trustees, depositaries, authenticating or paying agents, transfer agents or registrars of the debt securities;

	•	any deletions of, or changes or additions to, the events of default or covenants;

	•	any conversion or exchange provisions, including conversion or exchange prices or rates and adjustments to those prices and rates; and

	•	any other specific terms of the debt securities.

If any debt securities are sold for any foreign currency or currency unit or if any payments on the debt securities are payable in any foreign currency or currency unit, the prospectus supplement will contain any restrictions, elections, tax consequences, specific terms and other information with respect to the debt securities and the foreign currency or currency unit.

Some of the debt securities may be issued as original issue discount debt securities. Original issue discount securities may bear no interest or bear interest at below-market rates and will be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount and may bear no or below market interest. The applicable prospectus supplement will also contain any special tax, accounting or other information relating to original issue discount securities other kinds of debt securities that may be offered, including debt securities linked to an index or payable in currencies other than United States dollars.

Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on senior debt securities will rank on a parity with all of our other indebtedness that is not subordinated.

Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on subordinated debt securities will be junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of our unsubordinated debt, including senior debt securities. We will state in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to any subordinated debt securities the subordination terms of the securities as well as the aggregate amount of outstanding debt, as of the most recent practicable date, that by its terms would be senior to the subordinated debt securities. We will also state in such prospectus supplement limitations, if any, on issuance of additional senior debt. In addition, the subordinated debt securities will be effectively subordinated to creditors of our subsidiaries.

The debt securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange at the corporate trust office of the security registrar or at any other office or agency that we maintain for those purposes. In addition, the debt securities may be presented for payment of principal, interest and any premium at the office of the paying agent or at any office or agency that we maintain for those purposes.

State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A. is our designated security registrar and paying agent for the debt securities.

Debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our equity securities or equity securities of our subsidiaries or affiliates. The terms and conditions of conversion or exchange will be stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms will include, among others, the following:


	•	the conversion or exchange price;

	•	the conversion or exchange period;

	•	provisions regarding the convertibility or exchangeability of the debt securities, including who may convert or exchange;

	•	provisions affecting conversion or exchange in the event of our redemption of the debt securities; and

	•	any anti-dilution provisions or other events requiring adjustment to the conversion or exchange price.

We may issue the debt securities of a series in whole or in part in the form of one or more global certificates that will be deposited with a depositary we will identify in a prospectus supplement. We may issue global debt securities in either registered or unregistered form and in either temporary or definitive form. We will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any series of debt securities in the prospectus supplement.

Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole:


	•	by the depositary for that registered global security to its nominee;

	•	by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary; or

	•	by the depositary or its nominee to a successor of the depositary or a nominee of the successor.

The prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement involving any portion of the series represented by a registered global security.

We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements for debt securities:


	•	ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the depositary for that registered global security, these persons being referred to as “participants,” or persons that may hold interests through participants;

	•	upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary for the registered global security will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the registered global security beneficially owned by the participants;

	•	any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities will designate the accounts to be credited; and

	•	ownership of beneficial interest in that registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary for that registered global security for interests of participants and on the records of participants for interests of persons holding through participants.

The laws of some states may require that specified purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may limit the ability of those persons 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 that registered global security, the depositary or that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as stated below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security:


	•	will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in their names;

	•	will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt securities in definitive form; and

	•	will not be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities under the indenture.

Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for the registered global security and, if the person is not a participant, on the procedures of a participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture.

We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take the action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to give or take the action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

We will make payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee to the depositary or its nominee as the registered owners of the registered global security. None of us, the trustee or any other of our agents or agents of the trustee will be responsible or liable for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary for any debt securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, in respect of the registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that standing customer instructions and customary practices will govern payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the registered global security held through the participants, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name.” We also expect that any of these payments will be the responsibility of the 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 stops being a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, we will appoint an eligible successor depositary. If we fail to appoint an eligible successor depositary within 90 days, we will issue the debt securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion decide not to have any of the debt securities of a series represented by one or more registered global securities. In that event, we will issue debt securities of the series in a definitive form in exchange for all of the registered global securities representing the debt securities. The trustee will register any debt securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security in the name or names as the depositary, based upon instructions from its participants, will instruct the trustee.

We may also issue bearer debt securities of a series in the form of one or more global securities, referred to as “bearer global securities.” We will deposit these securities with a common depositary, or with a nominee for the depositary identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the series. The prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities represented by a bearer global security will describe the applicable terms and procedures. These will include 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, in proportion to the series represented by a bearer global security.

Under the terms of the indentures, we may consolidate or merge with another company, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all our assets to another company, if


	•	we are the surviving corporation, or the entity or the person formed by or surviving the consolidation or merger, if other than us, or to which the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of either (1) the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or Singapore or (2) any other country, subject to any limitations or conditions described in the applicable supplement to this prospectus, and, if we are not the surviving corporation, the entity or person formed by or surviving the consolidation or merger expressly assumes all payments on all of the debt securities and the performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions of the applicable indenture; and

	•	after giving effect to the consolidation, merger, sale of assets or other transaction, we would not be in default on the debt securities; and

	•	certain other conditions are satisfied.

Unless otherwise provided for in the prospectus supplement, the term “event of default,” when used in the indentures means any of the following:


	•	failure to pay interest for 30 days after the date payment is due and payable; however, if we extend an interest payment period under the terms of the debt securities, the extension will not be a failure to pay interest;

	•	failure to pay principal or premium, if any, on any debt security when due, either at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise;

	•	failure to make sinking fund payments, if any, when due;

	•	failure to perform other covenants for 60 days after notice that performance was required;

	•	certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of our company; or

	•	any other event of default provided in the applicable resolution of our board of directors or the supplemental indenture under which we issue a series of debt securities.

An event of default for a particular series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an event of default for any other series of debt securities issued under an indenture. If an event of default relating to the payment of interest, principal or any sinking fund installment involving any series of debt securities has occurred and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of each affected series may declare the entire principal of all the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately.

If an event of default relating to the performance of other covenants occurs and is continuing for a period of 60 days after notice of that event of default, or if any other event of default occurs and is continuing involving all of the series of senior debt securities, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all of the series of senior debt securities may declare the entire principal amount of all of the series of senior debt securities due and payable immediately.

Similarly, if an event of default relating to the performance of other covenants occurs and is continuing for a period of 60 days after notice, or if any other event of default occurs and is continuing involving all of the series of subordinated debt securities, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all of the series of subordinated debt securities may declare the entire principal amount of all of the series of subordinated debt securities due and payable immediately.

If, however, the event of default relating to the performance of other covenants or any other event of default that has occurred and is continuing is for less than all of the series of senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities, then, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of each affected series of the senior debt securities or the subordinated debt securities, as the case may be, may declare the entire principal amount of all debt securities of that affected series due and payable immediately. The holders of not less than a majority, or any applicable supermajority, in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of a series may, after satisfying conditions, rescind and annul any of the above-described declarations and consequences involving the series.

If an event of default relating to events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all of the debt securities outstanding, and any accrued interest, will automatically become due and payable immediately, without any declaration or other act by the trustee or any holder.

Each indenture imposes limitations on suits brought by holders of debt securities against us. Except for actions for payment of overdue principal or interest, no holder of debt securities of any series may institute any action against us under each indenture unless:


	•	the holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of default and continuance of that default;

	•	the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the affected series have requested that the trustee institute the action;

	•	the requesting holders have offered the trustee reasonable indemnity for expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by bringing the action;

	•	the trustee has not instituted the action within 60 days of the request; and

	•	the trustee has not received inconsistent direction by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the series.

We will be required to file annually with the trustee a certificate, signed by an officer of our company, stating whether or not the officer knows of any default by us in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any condition or covenant of an indenture.

We can discharge or defease our obligations under the indentures as stated below or as provided in the prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may discharge obligations to holders of any series of debt securities that have not already been delivered to the trustee for cancellation and that have either become due and payable or are by their terms to become due and payable, or are scheduled for redemption, within one year. We may effect a discharge by irrevocably depositing with the trustee cash or United States government obligations, as trust funds, in an amount certified to be enough to pay when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities and any mandatory sinking fund payments.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may also discharge any and all of our obligations to holders of any series of debt securities at any time, which we refer to as “defeasance.” We may also be released from the obligations imposed by any covenants of any outstanding series of debt securities and provisions of the indentures, and we may omit to comply with those covenants without creating an event of default under the trust declaration, which we refer to as “covenant defeasance.” We may effect defeasance and covenant defeasance only if, among other things:


	•	we irrevocably deposit with the trustee cash or United States government obligations, as trust funds, in an amount certified to be enough to pay at maturity, or upon redemption, the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all outstanding debt securities of the series;


	•	we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel from a nationally recognized law firm to the effect that (a) in the case of covenant defeasance, the holders of the series of debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance, and will be subject to tax in the same manner and at the same times as if no covenant defeasance had occurred and (b) in the case of defeasance, either we have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or there has been a change in applicable United States federal income tax law, and based on that ruling or change, the holders of the series of debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance and will be subject to tax in the same manner as if no defeasance had occurred; and

	•	in the case of subordinated debt securities, no event or condition will exist that, based on the subordination provisions applicable to the series, would prevent us from making payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any of the applicable subordinated debt securities at the date of the irrevocable deposit referred to above or at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the deposit date.

Although we may discharge or decrease our obligations under the indentures as described in the two preceding paragraphs, we may not avoid, among other things, our duty to register the transfer or exchange of any 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 any series of debt securities.

Except as provided in the prospectus supplement, each indenture provides that we and the trustee may enter into supplemental indentures without the consent of the holders of debt securities to:


	•	secure any debt securities;

	•	evidence the assumption by a successor corporation of our obligations and the conversion of any debt securities into the capital stock of that successor corporation, if the terms of those debt securities so provide;

	•	add any limitations or conditions that may apply to a consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets to another company;

	•	add covenants for the protection of the holders of debt securities;

	•	effect modifications that do not adversely affect any outstanding series of debt securities;

	•	cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistency in the indenture;

	•	establish the forms or terms of debt securities of any series; and

	•	evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee.

Each indenture also provides that we and the trustee may, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of debt securities of all series of senior debt securities or of subordinated debt securities then outstanding and affected, voting as one class, add any provisions to, or change in any manner, eliminate or modify in any way the provisions of, the indenture or modify in any manner the rights of the holders of the debt securities. We and the trustee may not, however, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected:


	•	extend the stated maturity of any debt security;

	•	reduce the principal amount or premium, if any;

	•	reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest;

	•	reduce any amount payable on redemption;


	•	change the currency in which the principal, unless otherwise provided for a series, premium, if any, or interest is payable;

	•	reduce the amount of the principal of any debt security issued with an original issue discount that is payable upon acceleration or provable in bankruptcy;

	•	impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any debt security when due; or

	•	reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities of any series whose consent is required for any modification of the indenture for any such series.

Each indenture provides that there may be more than one trustee under the indenture, each for one or more series of debt securities. If there are different trustees for different series of debt securities, each trustee will be a trustee of a trust under the indentures separate and apart from the trust administered by any other trustee under the indenture. Except as otherwise indicated in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, any action permitted to be taken by a trustee may be taken by that trustee only on the one or more series of debt securities for which it is the trustee under the indenture. Any trustee under the indentures may resign or be removed from one or more series of debt securities. All payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all registration, transfer, exchange, authentication and delivery of, the debt securities of a series may be effected by the trustee for that series at an office or agency designated by the trustee of that series in New York, New York.

If the trustee becomes a creditor of our company, each indenture places limitations on the right of the trustee to obtain payment of claims or to realize on property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee may engage in other transactions. If it acquires any conflicting interest relating to any duties concerning the debt securities, however, it must eliminate the conflict or resign as trustee.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any series of debt securities then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee concerning the applicable series of debt securities, so long as the direction:


	•	would not conflict with any rule of law or with the applicable indenture;

	•	would not be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another holder of the debt securities; and

	•	would not involve any trustee in personal liability.

Each indenture provides that if an event of default occurs, is not cured and is known to any trustee, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would use in the conduct of his or her own affairs in the exercise of the trust’s power. The trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any of the holders of the debt securities, unless they have offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the trustee.

No Individual Liability of Incorporators, Shareholders, Officers or Directors

Each indenture provides that no incorporator and no past, present or future shareholder, officer or director of our company or any successor corporation in those capacities will have any individual liability for any of our obligations, covenants or agreements under the debt securities or such indenture.

The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The following statements are brief summaries of our capital structure and of important rights and privileges of shareholders conferred by the laws of Singapore and our articles of association. These statements summarize the material provisions of the laws of Singapore and our articles but are qualified by reference to our articles, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and which is available at our San Jose, California office. A copy of our articles is also available for inspection at our registered office in Singapore.

Our authorized capital consists of 1,500,000,000 ordinary shares, par value S$0.01. There is a provision in our articles to enable us in specified circumstances to issue shares with preferential, deferred or other special rights or restrictions as our directors may determine. The directors may issue shares at a premium and a sum equal to the aggregate amount or value of the premiums will be transferred to a share premium account. All shares presently issued are fully paid and existing shareholders are not subject to any calls on shares. All shares are in registered form. We cannot, except in the circumstances permitted by the Singapore Companies Act, grant any financial assistance for the acquisition or proposed acquisition of our own shares.

New shares may be issued only with the prior approval of our shareholders in a general meeting. General approval may be sought from our shareholders in a general meeting for the issue of shares. Approval, if granted, will lapse at the earlier to occur of:


	•	the conclusion of the next annual general meeting; or

	•	the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by law to be held.

The shareholders have provided such general authority to issue new shares until our 2002 annual general meeting. Subject to this and the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act and our articles, all new shares are under the control of the directors who may allot and issue new shares to such persons on such terms and conditions and with the rights and restrictions as they may think fit to impose.

Only persons who are registered in our books are recognized as shareholders and absolute owners of the shares. On June 4, 2002, there were 3,369 holders of our ordinary shares. We may, on giving not less than fourteen days’ notice, close the register of members for any time or times, but the register may not be closed for more than thirty days in any calendar year. Closure is normally made for the purpose of determining shareholders’ entitlement to receive dividends and other distributions and would, in the usual case, not exceed ten days.

Subject to applicable securities laws, our ordinary shares are freely transferable. The directors may decline to register any transfer of shares on which we have a lien and, for shares not fully paid up, may refuse to register a transfer to a transferee of whom they do not approve. Shares may be transferred by a duly signed instrument of transfer in a form approved by the directors. The directors may decline to register any transfer unless, among other things, it has been duly stamped and is presented for registration together with the share certificate and other evidence of title as they may require. We will replace lost or destroyed certificates for shares upon notice to us and upon, among other things, the applicant furnishing evidence and indemnity as the directors may require.

We are required to hold an annual general meeting in each year. The directors may convene an extraordinary general meeting whenever they think fit and they must do so upon the written request of shareholders representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all shareholders. In addition, two or more shareholders holding not less than one-tenth of our issued share capital may call a meeting of our shareholders.

Unless otherwise required by law or by our articles, voting at general meetings is by ordinary resolution, requiring the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast at a meeting of which at least fourteen days’ written notice is given. An ordinary resolution suffices, for example, for appointments of directors. A special resolution, requiring an affirmative vote of a majority of not less than 75% of the votes cast at a general meeting of which not less than 21 days’ written notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution has been duly given, is necessary for certain matters under Singapore law, such as an alteration of our articles.

Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by a show of hands unless a poll is duly demanded before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands. If voting is by a show of hands, every shareholder who is present in person or by proxy at the meeting has one vote. On a poll every shareholder who is present in person or by proxy has one vote for every share held by him. A poll may be demanded by any of:


	•	the chairman of the meeting;

	•	not less than three shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote; or

	•	shareholders present in person or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the meeting.

In an annual general meeting, our shareholders may declare dividends, but no dividend will be payable in excess of the amount recommended by the directors. The directors may also declare an interim dividend. No dividend may be paid except out of our profits. Except as otherwise may be provided in special rights as to dividends specified in the terms of issue of any shares (no such shares currently being in issue), all dividends are paid pro rata among the shareholders. To date, we have not declared any cash dividends on our shares and have no current plans to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

In a general meeting, our shareholders may, upon the recommendation of the directors, capitalize any reserves or profits and distribute them as bonus shares to the shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. A bonus issue is the Singapore equivalent of a stock dividend. The directors may also issue to shareholders rights to take up additional shares, in proportion to their shareholdings. These rights are subject to any conditions attached to the issue and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the shares are listed.

With effect from January 1, 2002, the acquisition of our shares is regulated by the Securities and Futures Act and the revised Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (the “Code”).


	•	any person acquires whether by a series of transactions over a period of time or not, shares which (taken together with shares held or acquired by persons acting in concert with him) carry 30% or more of the voting rights of a company, or


	•	any person who, together with persons acting in concert with him, holds not less than 30% but not more than 50% of the voting rights and such person, or any person acting in concert with him, acquires in any period of six months additional shares carrying more than 1% of the voting rights,

such person is required to extend a mandatory take-over offer for the remaining voting shares of the company. The Securities Industry Council is empowered to waive compliance with this requirement.

An offer made must be in cash or be accompanied by a cash alternative at not less than the highest price paid by the offeror or any person acting in concert with him for voting rights of the offeree company during the offer period and within six months prior to its commencement.

On a winding-up or other return of capital, subject to any special rights attaching to any other class of shares, holders of ordinary shares will be entitled to participate in any surplus assets in proportion to their shareholdings.

As permitted by the laws of Singapore, our articles provide that, subject to the Companies Act, our directors and officers will be indemnified by us against any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted to have been done as an officer, director or employee of us and in which judgment is given in their favor or in which they are acquitted, or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect thereof in which relief is granted by the court. Directors and officers may not be indemnified by us against any liability which by law would otherwise attach to them relating to any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which they may be guilty in relation to us.

Except as discussed above under “Takeovers,” there are no limitations imposed by the laws of Singapore or by our articles on the right of non-resident shareholders to hold or vote ordinary shares.

Our transfer agent is EquiServe L.P., 150 Royall Street, M/S 45-01-07, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.

We may issue warrants, including debt warrants, which are warrants to purchase debt securities, and equity warrants, which are warrants to purchase ordinary shares.

Each series of warrants will be issued either directly or under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between a warrant agent and us. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with a series of warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency for or with holders or beneficial owners of warrants. The following describes the general terms and provisions of the warrants offered by this prospectus. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe any other terms of the warrant and the applicable warrant agreement.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any debt warrants, including the following:


	•	the title and aggregate number of the debt warrants;

	•	any offering price of the debt warrants;


	•	the number of debt warrants and debt securities that will be separately transferable;

	•	any date on and after which the debt warrants and debt securities will be separately transferable;

	•	the title, total principal amount, ranking and terms, including subordination and conversion provisions, of the underlying debt securities that may be purchased upon exercise of the debt warrants;

	•	the time or period when the debt warrants are exercisable, the minimum or maximum amount of debt warrants that may be exercised at any one time and the final date on which the debt warrants may be exercised;

	•	any additional terms of the equity warrants not inconsistent with the provisions of the equity warrant agreement.

This summary of Singapore and U.S. tax considerations is based on current law and is provided for general information. The discussion does not purport to deal with all aspects of taxation that may be relevant to particular shareholders in light of their investment or tax circumstances, or to certain types of shareholders,

Under the Income Tax Act, Chapter 134 of Singapore, corporate profits are ordinarily taxed at a rate of 24.5% for the Year of Assessment 2002. The tax rate for the Year of Assessment 2003 is 22%. Until December 31, 2002 Singapore will operate an imputation system for taxing dividends. As a temporary measure to cushion the impact of economic slow-down, Singapore granted a tax rebate for the Year of Assessment 2002. Under this system, where a company has paid normal corporate tax on its profits, the tax paid is imputed to shareholders when a dividend is paid. Thus, the shareholders receive dividends net of the tax paid by us and dividends received by either a resident or a nonresident of Singapore are not subject to further withholding tax. Shareholders are taxed on the cash amount of the dividend plus the amount of corporate tax paid by us. The tax paid by us will be available to shareholders as a tax credit to offset the Singapore income tax liability on their overall income, including the gross amount of dividends. The Singapore Government has announced, however, in Budget 2002 that Singapore will operate a 1-tier corporate tax system with effect from January 1, 2003. Under this new system, dividends are exempt from tax. Companies with unused franking credits as of December 31, 2002 may elect to remain on the existing imputation system for a transitional period of up to five years.

With effect from Year of Assessment 2002, a partial tax exemption has also been introduced for the first S$100,000 of a company’s chargeable income (other than Singapore dividend income) otherwise taxable at normal corporate rates, as follows:


	•	for up to the first S$10,000 of such income, 75% of the income shall be exempt from tax; and

	•	for up to the next S$90,000 of such income, 50% of the income shall be exempt from tax.

However, the imputation system of taxing corporate dividends is not changed by the partial exemption regime. In other words, a company still has to frank dividends paid to its shareholders at the rate of 24.5%.

Under current Singapore tax law there is no tax on capital gains and, thus, any profits from the disposal of shares are not taxable in Singapore unless the vendor is regarded as carrying on a trade in shares in Singapore, in which case the disposal profits would be taxable as trade profits rather than capital gains.

There is no stamp duty payable in respect of the issuance of shares. When outstanding shares are acquired, stamp duty is payable on the instrument of transfer of the shares at the rate of S$2 for every S$1,000 of the market value of the shares. However, for instruments of transfer executed between October 13, 2001 and December 31, 2002, the aforesaid rate has been reduced by 30% to S$1.40 for every S$1,000. The stamp duty is borne by the purchaser unless there is an agreement to the contrary. Where the instrument of transfer is executed outside of Singapore, stamp duty must be paid if the instrument of transfer is received in Singapore. Under our articles, our directors are authorized to refuse to register a transfer unless the instrument of transfer has been duly stamped.

For purposes of this summary, the term U.S. shareholders includes (1) individual citizens or residents of the U.S., including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or who meets the substantial presence residency test under the federal income tax laws (unless such alien individual is not treated as a resident of the U.S. under an applicable income tax treaty), (2) corporations (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any State of the United States or the District of Columbia, (3) estates, the incomes of which are subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of the source of such income or (4) trusts subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more U.S. persons.

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity, domestic or foreign, treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of a share, the U.S. tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of a share that is a partnership and partners in such partnership should consult their individual tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding the ordinary shares.

U.S. shareholders will, upon the sale or exchange of a share, recognize gain or loss for U.S. income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. shareholder’s tax basis in such a share. If paid in currency other than U.S. dollars, the U.S. dollar amount realized, as determined on the trade date, is determined by translating the foreign currency into U.S. dollars at the spot rate in effect on the settlement date of the sale in the case of a U.S. shareholder that is a cash basis taxpayer. An accrual basis taxpayer may elect to use the spot rate in effect on the settlement date of the sale by filing a statement with the U.S. shareholder’s first return in which the election is effective clearly indicating that the election has been made. Such an election must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be changed without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the share was a capital asset in the hands of the U.S. shareholder and will not be short-term capital gain or loss if the share has been held for more than one year. If a U.S. shareholder receives any currency other than U.S. dollars on the sale of a share, such U.S. shareholder may recognize ordinary income or loss as a result of currency fluctuations between the date of such sale and the date such sale proceeds are converted into U.S. dollars.

U.S. shareholders will be required to report as income for U.S. income tax purposes the amount of any dividend received from us to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under current U.S. income tax principles. If over 50% of our stock, by vote or value, were owned by U.S. shareholders who individually held 10% or more of our voting stock, after applying certain attribution principles, the U.S. shareholders who, after applying certain attribution principles, individually held 10% or more of our voting stock potentially would be required to include in income a portion or all of their pro rata share of our earnings and profits and the earnings and profits of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. If 50% or more of our assets during a taxable year produced or were held for the production of passive income, as defined in Section 1297(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (for example, certain forms of dividends, interest and royalties), or 75% or more of our gross income for a taxable year was passive income, adverse U.S. tax consequences could result to all of our U.S. shareholders.

Shareholders that are not U.S. shareholders (“non-U.S. shareholders”) will not be required to report for U.S. federal income tax purposes the amount of any dividend received from us. Non-U.S. shareholders, upon the sale or exchange of a share, would generally not be required to recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In the case of an individual who is not domiciled in Singapore, there is, in respect of a death occurring on or after January 1, 2002, no estate duty in relation to any movable property (including shares, debentures and warrants of the company). An individual shareholder who is a U.S. citizen or resident for U.S. estate tax purposes also will have the value of the shares included in the individual’s gross estate for U.S. estate tax purposes. Individuals who are domiciled in Singapore should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Singapore estate tax consequences of their investment.

We may sell our debt securities, ordinary shares and warrants through underwriters, agents, dealers, or directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute these securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, at market prices prevailing at the times of sale, at prices related to these prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such price may be changed from time to time.

The prospectus supplement for the securities we sell will describe that offering, including:


	•	the identity of any underwriters, and, if required, of any dealers or agents;

	•	the amount of securities sold, the public offering price and consideration paid, and the proceeds we will receive from that sale;

	•	the place and time of delivery for the securities being sold;

	•	whether or not the securities will trade on any securities exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market.

	•	the amount of any compensation, discounts or commissions to be received by underwriters, dealers or agents, any other items constituting underwriters’ compensation, and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;

	•	the terms of any indemnification provisions, including indemnification from liabilities under the federal securities laws; and

	•	any other material terms of the distribution of securities.

We may offer the securities to the public through one or more underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters, or through one or more underwriters without a syndicate. If underwriters are used in the sale, we will execute an underwriting agreement with those underwriters relating to the securities that we will offer and will name the underwriters and describe the terms of the transaction in the prospectus supplement. The securities subject to the underwriting agreement will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold by them from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. Subject to conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of these securities if any are purchased or will act on a best efforts basis to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment, unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement. In the case of offerings of debt securities and ordinary shares, we may grant underwriters who participate in the distributions an option to purchase additional securities to cover over-allotments, if any, in connection with the distribution.

We may authorize underwriters to solicit offers by institutions to purchase the securities subject to the underwriting agreement from us at the public offering price stated in the prospectus supplement under delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. If we sell securities under delayed delivery contracts, the prospectus supplement will state that as well as the conditions to which these delayed delivery contracts will be subject and the commissions payable for that solicitation.

Underwriters may sell these securities to or through dealers. Alternatively, we may sell the securities in this offering directly to one or more dealers, who would act as a principal or principals. Dealers may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealers at the time of the resale. We may also sell any of the securities offered with this prospectus through other agents designated by us from time to time. Any such dealers or agents will be obligated to purchase all of these securities if any are purchased or will act on a best efforts basis to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment, unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement. We will identify any agent or dealer involved in the offer or sale of these securities who may be deemed to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws, and describe any commissions or discounts payable by us to these agents and dealers, in the applicable prospectus supplement.

In connection with the sale of the securities offered with this prospectus, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. These discounts, concessions or commissions may be changed from time to time. Underwriters, dealers and/or agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business, and may receive compensation in connection with those arrangements. We will disclose any material arrangements in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The underwriters, dealers, agents or purchasers that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act. Broker-dealers or other persons acting on behalf of parties that participate in the distribution of the securities may also be deemed to be underwriters. Any discounts or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities received by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

Underwriters and purchasers that are deemed underwriters under the Securities Act may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities, including the entry of stabilizing bids or syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids. Such purchasers will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to those securities. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the securities in the market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.

We may provide underwriters, agents, dealers or purchasers with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the underwriters, agents, dealers or purchasers may make with respect to such liabilities.

Certain legal matters with respect to the ordinary shares offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Allen & Gledhill, Singapore, and, in the case of the debt securities and warrants offered by this prospectus, by Fenwick & West LLP, Palo Alto, California.

The following table sets forth an itemized statement of all estimated expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered:

Article 155 of the Flextronics articles provides that, subject to the Singapore Companies Act, every director or other officer shall be entitled to be indemnified by Flextronics against all liabilities incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto, including any liability in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of Flextronics and in which judgment is given in his favor, or the proceedings otherwise disposed of without finding or admission of any material breach of duty; in which he is acquitted; or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability for any act or omission in which relief is granted to him by the court.

In addition, no director or other officer shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer, joining in any receipt or other act for conformity, any loss or expense happening to Flextronics, through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by order of the directors for Flextronics or for the insufficiency or deficiency of any security upon which any of the moneys of Flextronics are invested or for any loss or damage arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or tortious act of any person with whom any moneys, securities or effects are deposited, or any other loss or misfortune which happens in the execution of his duties, unless the same happens through his own negligence, willful default, breach of duty or breach of trust.

Section 172 of the Companies Act prohibits a company from indemnifying its directors or officers against liability which by law would otherwise attach to them for any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which they may be guilty relating to the company. However, a company is not prohibited from (a) purchasing and maintaining for any such officer insurance against any such liability except where the liability arises out of conduct involving dishonesty or a willful breach of duty, or (b) indemnifying such officer against any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in his favor or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with any application in relation to liability in which relief is granted to him by the court.

Flextronics has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors. These indemnification agreements provide Flextronics’ officers and directors with indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Companies Act. Flextronics has also obtained a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that will insure directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances which are permitted under the Companies Act.

	(c) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to the information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 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 post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered in the registration statement, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering of those securities.

	(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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant 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 Registrant 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement 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.

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 Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Jose, State of California, on the 4^th day of June, 2002.

The Underwriting Agreement, including the provisions incorporated therein by reference, is herein referred to as "this Agreement." Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Indenture (as hereinafter defined).

ISSUANCE OF DESIGNATED SECURITIES. Sales of the Designated Securities may be made from time to time to the Underwriters of the Designated Securities. Any firm or firms designated as the representative or representatives, as the case may be, of the Underwriters of the Designated Securities in the Underwriting Agreement relating thereto will act as the representative or representatives (the "Representative"). The obligation of Flextronics to issue and sell any of the Designated Securities and the obligation of any Underwriters to purchase any of the Designated Securities shall be evidenced by the Underwriting Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified therein. Each Underwriting Agreement shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Designated Securities, the public offering price of the Designated Securities, the purchase price to the Underwriters of the Designated Securities, the names of the Underwriters of the Designated Securities, the name of the Representative, if any, of such Underwriters, and the principal amount of the Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter and shall set forth the date, time and manner of delivery of the Designated Securities and payment therefor.

An Underwriting Agreement shall be in writing (which may be in counterparts), and may be evidenced by an exchange of facsimile transmissions. The obligations of the Underwriters under each Underwriting Agreement shall be several and not joint. 2 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS. Flextronics represents to, and covenants with, each Underwriter that: (a) Flextronics meets the requirements for the use of Form S-3 and a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-_____), including a prospectus, relating to the Securities of Flextronics has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in accordance with applicable regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and has been declared effective under the Act. Such registration statement, as amended to the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement," and such prospectus as proposed to be supplemented by a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") relating to the Designated Securities to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus." Any reference herein to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") on or before the date of this Agreement, and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, excluding any documents or portions of such documents which are deemed under the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act not to be incorporated by reference; and any reference herein to the terms "amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act deemed to be incorporated therein by reference after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Effective Time" with respect to the Registration Statement means (i) if Flextronics has not advised the Representative that is proposes to amend such registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement, or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto (if any) filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, was declared effective by the Commission or has become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(c) under the Act, or (ii) if Flextronics has advised the Representative that it proposes to file an amendment or post-effective amendment to such registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement, as amended by such amendment or post-effective amendment, as the case may be, is declared effective by the Commission. "Effective Date" with respect to the Registration Statement means the date of the Effective Time thereof. (b) At the Effective Time, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus conformed, and any proposed amendments thereof and supplements thereto relating to the Designated Securities will conform, in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus complied when so filed as to form with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; on the Effective Date neither the Registration Statement nor the Prospectus as of the date thereof and on the Closing Date included or will include any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Registration Statement, not misleading, or in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Flextronics makes no representations as to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Flextronics by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use in connection with the preparation of such documents. 3 3. DELIVERY PAYMENT. Delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities shall be made at the office, on the date and at the time specified in the Underwriting Agreement (the "Closing Date"), which Closing Date may be postponed by agreement between the Underwriters, or the Representative, as the case may be, and Flextronics. Delivery of the Designated Securities shall be made to the Underwriters or, if appropriate, the Representative for the respective accounts of the Underwriters, in either case, against payment by the Underwriters directly or through the Representative of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of Flextronics by certified or official bank check or checks payable in New York Clearing House funds, unless otherwise agreed in the Underwriting Agreement. Certificates for the Designated Securities shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Representative may request in writing not less than one full business day in advance of the Closing Date. If so requested by the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, Flextronics agrees to have the Designated Securities available for inspection, checking and packaging in New York, New York, at least one business day prior to the Closing Date. 4. OFFERING BY UNDERWRITERS. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Designated Securities for sale to the public upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus. 5. AGREEMENTS. Flextronics agrees with the Underwriters that: (a) Flextronics will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act and will promptly advise the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, when the Prospectus Supplement has been so filed, and prior to the termination of the offering of the Designated Securities will promptly advise such Underwriters or Representative (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been declared effective or has become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(c) under the Act or any further supplement to the Prospectus has been filed, (ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (iv) of the receipt by Flextronics of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Designated Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. Flextronics will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. Flextronics will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus relating to the Designated Securities unless it has furnished the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, a copy prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which such Underwriters or Representative reasonably objects. (b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Designated Securities is required to be delivered under the Act or any other applicable securities law, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue 4 statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, Flextronics will promptly notify the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. (c) Flextronics will make generally available to its security holders and to the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days after the end of the 12-month period beginning at the end of the fiscal quarter of Flextronics during which the filing of the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act first occurs (except not later than 90 days if such filing date-is in the last fiscal quarter), an earnings statement (which need not be audited) of Flextronics and its consolidated subsidiaries, covering such 12-month period, which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11 (a) of the Act. (d) Flextronics will furnish to the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, and counsel for such Underwriters or for such Representative copies of the Registration Statement (including, if requested, the exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto relating to the Designated Securities which is thereafter filed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 and to each Underwriter, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act or other applicable securities laws, as many copies of the Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto, relating to the Designated Securities, as such Underwriters or such Representative may reasonably request. (e) Flextronics will pay (i) all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) reasonable fees charged for rating the Designated Securities and for preparing a Blue Sky and Legal Investment Memorandum with respect to the sale of the Designated Securities and (iii) the expenses of printing or otherwise producing and delivering the Designated Securities, the documents specified in paragraph (d) of this Section 5 and any Blue Sky and Legal Investment Memorandum. (f) Flextronics will use its best efforts to arrange and pay for the qualification of the Designated Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, may designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Designated Securities; provided, however, that Flextronics shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general or unlimited service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. (g) If the sale of the Designated Securities provided for in an Underwriting Agreement is not consummated by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of Flextronics to perform any agreement on its part to be performed (except for any failure so to perform on the part of Flextronics engendered by a failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Underwriters or any Representative to perform any agreement on their part to be performed) or 5 the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6, Flextronics will reimburse the several Underwriters who are named in such Underwriting Agreement for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements incurred by the Underwriters in connection with their investigation, marketing and preparing to market the Designated Securities, and upon such reimbursement Flextronics shall have no further liability to the Underwriters except as provided in Section 7. (h) During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and terminating on the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) the date of notice to Flextronics by the Representative or the Underwriters, (which shall not exceed forty-five days from the date of this Agreement), Flextronics will not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any Designated Securities of Flextronics, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Designated Securities, without the prior written consent of such Representative or such Underwriters. 6. CONDITIONS TO THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE UNDERWRITERS. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Designated Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations on the part of Flextronics contained herein as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, to the performance by Flextronics of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions: (a) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted and be pending or threatened as of the Closing Date; (b) Fenwick & West LLP and Allen & Gledhill, counsel for Flextronics, shall have furnished to the Representative their opinion, dated the Closing Date, with respect to such matters as such Underwriters or Representative may reasonably require; (c) The Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, shall have received from counsel for the Underwriters such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to such matters as such Underwriters or Representative may reasonably require; (d) Flextronics shall have furnished to the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of Flextronics, signed by any executive officer of Flextronics, to the effect that the signer of such certificate has carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and this Agreement and that: (i) The representations of Flextronics in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date, and Flextronics has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; (ii) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted and are pending or, to his or her knowledge, threatened as of such date; and 6 (iii) Since the date of the most recent financial statements included in or incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Flextronics and its consolidated subsidiaries, taken as a whole. (e) The Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, shall have received from [ ] a letter, dated the Closing Date, which letter shall be in form as may be agreed upon among such Underwriters or Representative, Flextronics and [ ], and shall cover such matters as may be reasonably requested by such Underwriters or Representative. (f) Prior to the Closing Date, Flextronics shall have furnished to the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, such further information, certificates and documents as they may reasonably request. (g) Subsequent to the date hereof, there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business or properties of Flextronics and its subsidiaries considered as a whole which the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, concludes, in its judgment, after consultation with Flextronics, materially impairs the investment quality of the Designated Securities so as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus and there shall not have been any decrease in the ratings of any of Flextronics' debt securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act). 7. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) Flextronics agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto relating to the Designated Securities, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as so incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that Flextronics will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Flextronics by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative or the Underwriters, as the case may be, 7 for use in connection with the preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Flextronics may otherwise have. (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Flextronics, each of its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls Flextronics within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Flextronics to each Underwriter, but only with reference to information furnished in writing to Flextronics by or on behalf of such Underwriter directly or through any Representative for use in the preparation of the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel, to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the representatives representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying- party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) 8 unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable from Flextronics or the Underwriters on grounds of policy or otherwise, Flextronics and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) to which Flextronics or one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion so that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bears to the public offering price appearing thereon and Flextronics is responsible for the balance; provided that (y) in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Designated Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Designated Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and (z) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls Flextronics within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of Flextronics who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of Flextronics shall have the same rights to contribution as Flextronics, subject in each case to clause (y) of this paragraph (d). Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph (d), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify in writing such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this paragraph (d). 8. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, by written notice given to Flextronics prior to delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities, if prior to such time (i) trading in Flextronics' Common Stock or securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of such Underwriters or such Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Designated Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement. 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE. The respective agreements, representations, indemnities and other statements of Flextronics, or its officers and of the Underwriters and/or any Representative set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will 9 remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, Flextronics or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections S(e) and 7 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 10. DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any Designated Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Designated Securities set forth opposite their names in the appropriate schedule of the Underwriting Agreement bears to the aggregate amount of Designated Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Designated Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Designated Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the amount of Designated Securities set forth in the appropriate schedule of the Underwriting Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Designated Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Designated Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or Flextronics. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representative or Underwriters, as the case may be, shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to Flextronics and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 11. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. 12. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 10 EX-1.02 4 f82203orexv1w02.txt EXHIBIT 1.02 EXHIBIT 1.02 ================================================================================ FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL LTD.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Effective Time" with respect to the Registration Statement means (A) if Flextronics has not advised the Representative that it proposes to amend such registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement, or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto (if any) filed prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, was declared effective by the Commission or has become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(c) under the Act, or (B) if Flextronics has advised the Representative that it proposes to file an amendment or post-effective amendment to such registration statement, the date and time as of which such registration statement, as amended by such amendment or post-effective amendment, as the case may be, is declared effective by the Commission. "Effective Date" with respect to the Registration Statement means the date of the Effective Time thereof. (b) At the Effective Time, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus conformed, and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto relating to the Designated Securities will conform, in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; each document filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus complied when so filed as to form with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; the Indenture conforms in all material respects to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act") and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and neither the Registration Statement on the Effective Date nor the Prospectus as of the date thereof and on the Closing Date included or will include any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Registration Statement, not misleading, or in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Flextronics makes no representations as to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute a Trustee's Statement of Eligibility and Qualifications (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act and (ii) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Flextronics by or on behalf of any Underwriter for use in connection with the preparation of such documents. 3. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT. Delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities shall be made at the offices of counsel for the Underwriters, on the date and at the time specified in the Underwriting Agreement (the "Closing Date"), which Closing Date may be postponed by agreement between the Underwriters, or the Representative, as the case may be, and Flextronics. Delivery of the Designated Securities shall be made to the Underwriters or, if appropriate, the Representative for the respective accounts of the Underwriters, in either case, against payment by the Underwriters directly or through the Representative of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of Flextronics by certified or official bank check or checks payable in New York Clearing House funds, unless otherwise agreed in the Underwriting Agreement. Certificates for the Designated Securities shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Representative may request in writing not less than one full business day in advance of the Closing Date. If so requested by the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, Flextronics agrees to have the Designated Securities available for inspection, checking and packaging in New York, New York, at least one business day prior to the Closing Date. 4. OFFERING BY UNDERWRITERS. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Designated Securities for sale to the public upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus. 5. AGREEMENTS. Flextronics agrees with the Underwriters that: (a) Flextronics will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act and will promptly advise the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, when the Prospectus Supplement has been so filed, and prior to the termination of the offering of the Designated Securities will promptly advise such Underwriters or Representative (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been declared effective or has become effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(c) under the Act or any further supplement to the Prospectus has been filed, (ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (iv) of the receipt by Flextronics of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Designated Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. Flextronics will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. Flextronics will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus relating to the Designated Securities unless it has furnished the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, a copy prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which such Underwriters or Representative reasonably objects. (b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Designated Securities is required to be delivered under the Act or any other applicable securities law, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, Flextronics will promptly notify the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission, subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. (c) Flextronics will make generally available to its security holders and to the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days after the end of the 12-month period beginning at the end of the fiscal quarter of Flextronics during which the filing of the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act first occurs (except not later than 90 days if such filing date is in the last fiscal quarter), an earnings statement (which need not be audited) of Flextronics and its consolidated subsidiaries, covering such 12-month period, which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act. (d) Flextronics will furnish to the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, and counsel for such Underwriters or for such Representative copies of the Registration Statement (including, if requested, the exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto relating to the Designated Securities which is thereafter filed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 and to each Underwriter, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act or other applicable securities laws, as many copies of the Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto, relating to the Designated Securities, as such Underwriters or such Representative may reasonably request. (e) Flextronics will pay (i) all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) reasonable fees charged for rating the Designated Securities and for preparing a Blue Sky and Legal Investment Memorandum with respect to the sale of the Designated Securities and (iii) the expenses of printing or otherwise producing and delivering the Designated Securities, the documents specified in paragraph (d) of this Section 5 and any Blue Sky and Legal Investment Memorandum. (f) Flextronics will use its best efforts to arrange and pay for the qualification of the Designated Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, may designate and to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Designated Securities; provided, however, that Flextronics shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general or unlimited service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject. (g) If the sale of the Designated Securities provided for in an Underwriting Agreement is not consummated by reason of any failure, refusal or inability on the part of Flextronics to perform any agreement on its part to be performed (except for any failure so to perform on the part of Flextronics engendered by a failure, refusal or inability on the part of the Underwriters or any Representative to perform any agreement on their part to be performed) or the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6, Flextronics will reimburse the several Underwriters who are named in such Underwriting Agreement for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements incurred by the Underwriters in connection with their investigation, marketing and preparing to market the Designated Securities, and upon such reimbursement Flextronics shall have no further liability to the Underwriters except as provided in Section 7. (h) During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and terminating on the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) the date of notice to Flextronics by the Representative or the Underwriters (which shall not exceed forty-five days from the date of this Agreement), Flextronics will not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of Flextronics substantially similar to the Designated Securities covered by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Representative or such Underwriters. 6. CONDITIONS TO THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE UNDERWRITERS.

(e) The Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, shall have received from [ ] a letter, dated the Closing Date, which letter shall be in form as may be agreed upon among such Underwriters or Representative, Flextronics and [ ] and shall cover such matters as may be reasonably requested by such Underwriters or Representative. (f) Prior to the Closing Date, Flextronics shall have furnished to the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, such further information, certificates and documents as they may reasonably request. (g) Subsequent to the date hereof, there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business or properties of Flextronics and its subsidiaries considered as a whole which the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, concludes, in its judgment, after consultation with Flextronics, materially impairs the investment quality of the Designated Securities so as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus and there shall not have been any decrease in the ratings of any of Flextronics's debt securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act). 7. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) Flextronics agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto relating to the Designated Securities, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as so incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that Flextronics will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Flextronics by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representative or the Underwriters, as the case may be, for use in connection with the preparation thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Flextronics may otherwise have. (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Flextronics, each of its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls Flextronics within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from Flextronics to each Underwriter, but only with reference to information furnished in writing to Flextronics by or on behalf of such Underwriter directly or through any Representative for use in the preparation of the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel, to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the representatives representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of each indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable from Flextronics or the Underwriters on grounds of policy or otherwise, Flextronics and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) to which Flextronics or one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion so that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the Prospectus bears to the public offering price appearing thereon and Flextronics is responsible for the balance; provided that (y) in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Designated Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Designated Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and (z) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls Flextronics within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of Flextronics who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of Flextronics shall have the same rights to contribution as Flextronics, subject in each case to clause (y) of this paragraph (d). Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph (d), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify in writing such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this paragraph (d). 8. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Underwriters or the Representative, as the case may be, by written notice given to Flextronics prior to delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities, if prior to such time (i) trading in Flextronic's Common Stock or securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any material outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of such Underwriters or such Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Designated Securities as contemplated by the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement. 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE. The respective agreements, representations, indemnities and other statements of Flextronics, or its officers and of the Underwriters and/or any Representative set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, Flextronics or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 5(e) and 7 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 10. DEFAULT BY AN UNDERWRITER. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any Designated Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Designated Securities set forth opposite their names in the appropriate schedule of the Underwriting Agreement bears to the aggregate amount of Designated Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Designated Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Designated Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the amount of Designated Securities set forth in the appropriate schedule of the Underwriting Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Designated Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Designated Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or Flextronics. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representative or Underwriters, as the case may be, shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to Flextronics and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 11. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. 12. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 2.04. Authentication and Delivery of Securities; Supplemental Indentures for Secured Issues. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver any series of Securities having attached thereto appropriate Coupons, if any, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication by it together with the applicable documents referred to below in this Section 2.04, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Securities (or if only a single Security, such Security) and Coupons, if any, to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by an officer of the Company, without any further corporate action. 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 Company Order and procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which instructions, if oral, 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 Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series) and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, the following enumerated documents unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked: (1) a Company Order requesting such authentication and setting forth delivery instructions if the Securities and Coupons, if any, are not to be delivered to the Company, provided that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, (a) such Company Order may be delivered by the Company 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 a Company Order or pursuant to procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from 10 time to time by a Company 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 a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures and (d) if provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which instructions, if oral, shall be promptly confirmed in writing; (2) any Board Resolution, Officer's Certificate and/or executed Supplemental Indenture referred to in Section 2.01 and 2.03 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 2.01 and 2.03 and comply with this Indenture, and covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; (4) at the option of the Company, 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 form or 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 a Company Order shall have been established, all such terms will have been duly authorized by the Company and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (c) this Indenture and such Securities, when executed and issued by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, except as any rights thereunder may be limited by the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium or other laws affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally; the rules governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; the effect of applicable court decisions invoking statutes or principles of equity, which have held that certain covenants and provisions of agreements are unenforceable where the breach of such covenants or provisions imposes restrictions or burdens upon a borrower, and it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such restrictions or burdens is necessary for the protection of the creditor, or which have held that the creditor's enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would have violated the creditor's covenants of good faith and fair dealing implied under California law; and the effect of California statutes and rules of law which cannot be waived prospectively by a borrower, and 11 such counsel need express no opinion with regard to the enforceability of Section 7.06 or of a judgment denominated in a currency other than United States Dollars; and (d) the Company has complied with all applicable Federal laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of such Securities; (5) if the Securities are to be secured, a supplemental indenture conforming to the requirements of Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, and such other documents as may be required by Section 314; and (6) if the Securities are to be convertible, a supplemental indenture conforming to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act, and such other documents as may be required by the Trust Indenture Act. 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, fraudulent transfer 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) 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 Company 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 Company 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 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. SECTION 2.05. Execution of Securities. The Securities and each Coupon appertaining thereto, if any, shall be executed manually or in facsimile, by any two of the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Vice President, the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Chief Financial officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company under its corporate seal (except in the case of Coupons), which may be affixed thereto or printed, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise. Only such Securities or Coupons, if any, as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form recited herein, executed by the Trustee manually by an authorized officer, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate of authentication of the Trustee upon any Security or Coupon, if any, executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security or Coupon so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Typographical or other errors or defects in the seal or facsimile signature on any Security or in the text thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such Security if it has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Securities or Coupons, if any, (manually or in facsimile) shall cease to be such officer before the Securities or Coupons so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Securities or Coupons nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Securities or Coupons had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Also, any Security or Coupon may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as on the actual date of execution of such Security or Coupon shall be 12 the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture or on the nominal date of such Security any such Person was not such officer. SECTION 2.06. 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 Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. SECTION 2.07. Denominations; Payment of Interest on Securities. (a) The Securities of each series may be issued as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in denominations all as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of such provisions with respect to the Registered Securities of any series, the Securities of such series (other than any Registered Global Securities) shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 (or [Euro] 1,000, as applicable) 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 (or [Euro] 1,000 and [Euro] 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 Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. (b) If the Securities of any series shall bear interest, each Security of such series shall bear interest from the applicable date at the rate per annum specified in the Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Indenture with respect to such series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of such series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Such interest shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates specified in the Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Indenture with respect to such series of Securities. The Person in whose name any Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date for the series of which such Security is a part shall be entitled to receive the interest payable thereon on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date unless such Security shall have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date which is subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date or unless the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date on any Security of such series. Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Record Date solely by virtue of such Holder having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: 13 (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) 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 Security and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be such as will enable the Trustee to comply with the next sentence hereof), 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 subsection provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not 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 Holder of a Security of such series at such Holder's address as it appears in the Register 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 the Securities of such series are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following subsection (2). (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Interest on Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security and each such Security shall bear interest from such date, such that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution. SECTION 2.08. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Securities. Except as specifically otherwise provided herein with respect to Registered Global Securities, Securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the offices or agencies to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 and the Company shall execute the Security or Securities, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. 14 The Company shall cause the Trustee to keep or cause to be kept, at one or more of the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 with respect to the Securities of each series, the Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of such series and the transfer of Registered Securities of such series as in this Article provided. The Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any registrar of the Securities of such series other than the Trustee. Upon due presentment for transfer of any Security of any series at the offices or agencies of the Company to be maintained in accordance with Section 4.03 with respect to the Registered Securities of such series, the Company shall execute a new Security and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Registered Securities of the same series for a like aggregate principal amount of authorized denominations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.08, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Registered Securities in definitive form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Registered Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository for such series to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository for such series or a nominee of such successor Depository. 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 and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.03 and upon payment, if the Company 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 established pursuant to Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.03, 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 Company 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 established pursuant to Section 2.03, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.03, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in 15 default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company 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 2.03 and (2) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that (x) the Company has received from the IRS a ruling or (y) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable United States 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 United States federal income tax effect adverse to the Company or to any Holder. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company 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, if any, surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Company. All Registered Securities of any series presented or surrendered for exchange, transfer, redemption, conversion or payment shall, if so required by the Company or any registrar of the Securities of such series, be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and such registrar, duly executed by the registered Holder or by such Person's attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. The Company shall not be required to exchange or transfer (a) any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the first publication or the mailing (if there is no publication) of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series and ending at the close of business on the day of such publication or mailing or (b) any Securities called or selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of Securities called for redemption in part, the portion thereof not so called for redemption in whole or in part or during a period beginning at the opening of business on any Record Date for such series and ending at the close of business on the relevant Interest Payment Date therefor. SECTION 2.09. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security or any Coupon appertaining to any Security shall be mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute and, upon the written request of any officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and delivery, 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 Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company 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 16 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 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) 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 Company 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 Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company 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 Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupons 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 Company, 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 statue 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 and Destruction of Surrendered Securities. All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, conversion or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if any, shall, if surrendered to the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and the same, together with Securities surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, shall be canceled by it and thereafter disposed of by it as directed by the Company, 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 shall destroy canceled Securities and Coupons and deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company unless by an Officer's Certificate of the Company, the Company shall direct that canceled Securities be returned to it. If the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Securities and Coupons, however, such purchase or acquisition shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities or Coupons unless and until the Company, at its option shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.11. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary 17 Securities of such series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in each case 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 appropriate omissions, insertions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Every such temporary Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Securities. If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities without charge to the Holder at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Trustee as provided in Section 4.03 with respect to the Securities of such series and in the case of Unregistered Securities, at any agency maintained by the Company for such purpose as specified pursuant to Section 2.03. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series and in the case of Unregistered Securities, having attached thereto any appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and interest thereon, when and as payable, shall be paid to the registered owners thereof. 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 2.03 (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). SECTION 2.12. Securities in Global Form; Depositories. (a) Each Registered Global Security shall: (i) represent and be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the series to be represented by such Registered Global Security, (ii) be registered in the name of either the Depository for such Registered Global Security or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's written instruction and (iv) bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, this Registered Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of any successor Depository." The notation of the record owner's interest in such Registered Global Security upon the original issuance thereof shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with the original issuance of each beneficial owner's interest in such Registered Global Security. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and the Trustee shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability with respect to: (x) the maintenance, review or accuracy of the records of the Depository or of any of its participating organizations with respect to any ownership interest in or payments with respect to such Registered Global Security, (y) any communication with or delivery of any notice (including notices of redemption) with respect to the series of Securities represented by the Registered Global Security to any Person having any 18 ownership interest in such Registered Global Security or to any of the Depository's participating organizations or (z) any payment made on account of any beneficial ownership interest in such Registered Global Security. (b) If any Security of a series is issuable in the form of a Registered Global Security or Securities, each such Registered Global Security may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Registered Global Security to reflect the amount of Outstanding Securities of a series represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee and in such manner as shall be specified on such Registered Global Security. Any instructions by the Company with respect to a Registered Global Security, after its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 13.03 of this Indenture. (c) Each Depository designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03 of this Indenture for a Registered Global Security must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as a depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable statute or regulation. If at any time the Depository for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depository for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under this Section 2.12, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depository for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or learns of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute and the Company shall direct the Trustee to authenticate and deliver definitive Securities of such series in authorized denominations in exchange for the Registered Global Security or Securities. Upon receipt of such direction, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver the definitive Securities of such series in the same aggregate principal amount as the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.12, without any further corporate action by the Company. (d) The Company 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 such Registered Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Company will execute and upon receipt of a written order from the Company, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form and in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Registered Global Security or Securities, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.12 without any further corporate action by the Company. (e) Upon any exchange hereunder of the Registered Global Security or Securities for Securities in definitive form, such Registered Global Security or Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee. Registered Securities issued hereunder in exchange for the Registered Global Security or Securities shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or 19 indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such definitive Securities in exchange for the Registered Global Security or Securities to the persons in whose name such definitive Securities have been registered in accordance with the directions of the Depository. (f) Any time the Registered Securities of any series are not in the form of Registered Global Securities pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Company agrees to supply the Trustee with a reasonable supply of certified Registered Securities without the legend required by this Section 2.12 and the Trustee agrees to hold such Registered Securities in safekeeping until authenticated and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. If established by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to any 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 and tenor in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary new Registered Securities of the same series and tenor, 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. Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.12 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 Company 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 Company, 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 forms or terms of any Securities to the contrary, none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee 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 Company (such as, for example, the inability of the Company 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. The Trustee and any such agent shall be entitled to rely on an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in determining such result. 20 SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" and "CINS" numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders and no representation shall be made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange. SECTION 2.14. Series May Include Tranches. A series of Securities may include one or more tranches (each a "tranche") of Securities, including Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The Securities of different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and public offering prices, but all the Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms, including authentication date and public offering price. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, with respect to Sections 2.05 (other than the fourth paragraph thereof) through 2.12, 3.01 through 3.05, 4.03, 6.01 through 6.12, 10.02 and 11.01 through 11.05, if any series of Securities includes more than one tranche, all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as though originally designated a series unless otherwise provided with respect to such series or tranche pursuant to Section 2.03. In particular, and without limiting the scope of the next preceding sentence, any of the provisions of such sections which provide for or permit action to be taken with respect to a series of Securities shall also be deemed to provide for and permit such action to be taken instead only with respect to Securities of one or more tranches within that series (and such provisions shall be deemed satisfied thereby), even if no comparable action is taken with respect to Securities in the remaining tranches of that series. ARTICLE THREE REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS SECTION 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities of such series. SECTION 3.02. 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 Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Register. 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 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 Company, the Trustee shall make such information available to the Company 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 21 by Section 4.09, 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 such 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 Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and holder in trust as provided in Section 4.05) 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 Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 70 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Company prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Company 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, in its sole discretion, 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 Company 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. 22 SECTION 3.03. 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 Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities 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 7.05 and 11.04, 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 Company 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 Holder of such Registered Securities registered as such on the relevant record date, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.03 and 2.07 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 Company 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 Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, 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 3.04. 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 Company 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 Company. SECTION 3.05. 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 23 provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series 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 Company 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 Company or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company 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 Company 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 Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 13.03) (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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company, 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 Company (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 Company 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 United States Dollars (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) if the Company shall so request with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment 24 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 Company 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 3.02, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Company) inform the Company 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 Company 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 Company. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company (or the Company, 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 3.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 3.03) for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Company. 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 its Stated Maturity. On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company 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 Company 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 5 and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 6.09 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. 25 ARTICLE FOUR PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY SECTION 4.01. Payment of Principal of and Interest on Securities. The Company covenants that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and any interest and premium on each of the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and in the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Except with respect to any Registered Global Securities, if the Securities of any series bear interest, each installment of interest on the Securities of such series may, at the option of the Company, be paid by mailing a check or checks for such interest payable to the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.07 to the address of such Person as it appears on the Register of such series on the applicable Record Date for such interest payment. 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 2.03. The interest, if any, 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 Company, 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 Register of the Company. SECTION 4.02. Corporate Existence of the Company; Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Transfer. The Company covenants that so long as any of the Securities are Outstanding, it will maintain its existence, will not dissolve, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and will not consolidate with or merge into another entity or permit one or more other entities to consolidate with or merge into it; provided that the Company may, without violating the covenants in this Section 4.02 contained, consolidate with or merge into another entity or permit one or more other entities to consolidate with or merge into it, or sell or otherwise transfer to another entity all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety and thereafter dissolve, if the surviving, resulting or transferee entity, as the case may be, (i) shall be organized and existing under the laws of (a) one of the States of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or Singapore, or (b) any other country, subject to any limitations or conditions set forth in the applicable supplement to this Indenture, (ii) assumes, if such entity is not the Company, all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and (iii) is not, after such transaction, otherwise in default under any provisions hereof. SECTION 4.03. Maintenance of Offices or Agencies for Transfer, Registration, Exchange and Payment of Securities. So long as any of the Securities shall remain Outstanding, the Company covenants that it will cause the Trustee to maintain an office or agency in either The City of New York, State of New York, or the City and County of Los Angeles, State of California, where the Securities may be presented for registration, exchange and transfer as in this Indenture provided, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the 26 Securities or of this Indenture may be served, and where the Securities may be presented for payment. In case the Trustee shall fail to maintain any such office or agency, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the principal office of the Company. The Company will maintain one or more 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 any 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 Company 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 Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if full payment in United States Dollars at each agency maintained by the Company outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities or Coupons appertaining thereto is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions, payments in United States Dollars of Unregistered Securities of any series and coupons appertaining thereto which are payable in United States Dollars may be made at an agency of the Company maintained in the City of New York. The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of any series, the Coupons appertaining thereto or this Indenture may be served. The Company 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 Company shall fail to maintain any agency required by this Section to be located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or the City and County of Los Angeles, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or for any change in the location of any of the above agencies, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Principal Office of the Trustee. The Company 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 2.04 and where the Registered Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Indenture provided, and the Company may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain the agencies provided for in this Section. The Company shall give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof. SECTION 4.04. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in the Office of Trustee. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, covenants that it will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Outstanding Securities. SECTION 4.05. Duties of Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to Securities of any series, it will cause such Paying 27 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 4.05 and Section 11.04, (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities entitled to such principal or interest and will notify the Trustee of the receipt of sums to be so held, (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (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 (3) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it. (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents with respect to the Securities of any series, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any interest and premium on the Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent of such series a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Securities entitled to such principal 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) If the Company 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 Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. (d) Anything in this Section 4.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture 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 such series by it, or any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section 4.05, and such sums are to be held by the Trustee upon the trust herein contained. SECTION 4.06. Notice of Default. The Company covenants that, as soon as is practicable, the Company will furnish the Trustee notice of any event which is an Event of Default or which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing on the date of such notice, which notice shall set forth the nature of such event and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. SECTION 4.07. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all properties used in or useful in the conduct of its business 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 28 necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company 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 Company may be prevented from so doing by circumstances beyond its control; provided, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company 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 Company desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Securityholders. SECTION 4.08. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company 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 Company or upon the income, profits or property of the Company; and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials, and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company; provided, that the Company 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 Company shall not be required to cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim if the Company shall determine that such payment is not advantageous to the conduct of the business of the Company taken as a whole and that the failure so to pay or discharge is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Securityholders. SECTION 4.09. Luxembourg Publications. In the event of the publication of any notice pursuant to Section 3.02, 6.10, 7.10(a), 7.11 and 10.02, 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. ARTICLE FIVE SECURITYHOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE SECTION 5.01. Company to Furnish Trustee Information as to the Names and Addresses of Securityholders. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days after each date (month and day) specified as an Interest Payment Date for the Securities of the first series issued under this Indenture (whether or not any Securities of that series are then Outstanding), but in no event less frequently than semiannually, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require containing all the information in the possession or control of the Company, or any of its Paying Agents other than the Trustee, as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities, obtained since the date as of which the next previous list, if any, was furnished, excluding from any such list the names and addresses received by the Trustee in its capacity as registrar (if so acting). Any such list may be dated as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished and need not include information received after such date. 29 SECTION 5.02. Preservation of Information; Communication to Securityholders. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of each series (1) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01, (2) received by the Trustee in the capacity of Paying Agent or registrar (if so acting) and (3) filed with the Trustee within the two preceding years as provided for in Section 5.04(c). The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. (b) If three or more Holders of Securities (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 Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Securities of any series or with Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities, and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either: (1) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02; or (2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, 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 Securityholders the form of proxy or other communications, if any, specified in such application. If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each of the Holders of Securities of such series, or all Securities, as the case may be, whose name and address appear 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 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 Securities of such series or all Securities, 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 Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. 30 (c) Each and every Holder of the Securities, 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 registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 5.02, 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).

ARTICLE SIX REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT SECTION 6.01. Events of Default; Acceleration, Waiver of Default and Restoration of Position and Rights. The term "Event of Default" whenever used herein with respect to any particular series of Securities shall mean any one of the following events: (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security of such 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 an extension of one or more Interest Payment Dates by the Company in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default; or (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of or any premium on any Security of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, by proceedings for redemption, by declaration or otherwise, provided however, that an extension of the Stated Maturity for payment of principal of Securities of such series in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default; or (c) default in the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment obligation relating to such series of Securities, when and as such obligation shall become due and payable provided however, that an extension of the Stated Maturity for payment of any sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of such series in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default; or (d) failure on the part of the Company to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on its part in the Securities or in this Indenture (including any Supplemental Indenture or pursuant to any Officer's Certificate, as contemplated by Section 2.03) specifically contained for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such series and all other series so benefited (all series 33 voting as one class) at the time Outstanding under this Indenture a written notice specifying such failure and stating that such is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or (e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, if such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (f) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the Company's consent to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case under any such law, or its consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or its failure generally to pay its debts as they become due or the taking by the Company of any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or (g) any other Event of Default provided in the Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Indenture under which such series of is issued or in the form of Security for such series. If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any one or more series of Outstanding Securities, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal amount of all the Securities of each series as to which there is an Event of Default shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders) may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of any such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all the Securities of such series, together with any accrued interest, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.03, if an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g) above with respect to all series of Securities then Outstanding, occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of 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 of the Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (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) of all of the Securities then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all of the Securities then 34 Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g) occurs and is continuing, which Event of Default is with respect to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding, 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 (each such series voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of such 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 such 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. The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal amount (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 one or more 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 moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of such series (or upon all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all Securities of such series (or of any and all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by declaration (with interest on overdue installments of interest to the extent permitted by law and on such principal at the rate or rates of interest borne by, or prescribed therefor in the Securities of such series to the date of such payment or deposit) and 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 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 the amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06 and any and all defaults under the Indenture with respect to Securities of such series (or all Securities, as the case may be), other than the non- payment of principal of and any accrued interest on Securities of such series (or any Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due by declaration shall have been cured, remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.09 -- then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) then Outstanding (such series or all series voting as one class if more than one series are so entitled) by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such 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 35 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. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 6.02. Covenant of Company to Pay to Trustee Whole Amount Due on Securities on Default in Payment of Interest or Principal. The Company 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 as and when the same shall become due and payable and which payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Indenture, 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 and which payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Indenture, whether at the Stated Maturity of such series or by any call for redemption or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise; or (c) in case default shall be made in the satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation when and as such obligation becomes due and payable and which payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Indenture, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company 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 such Securities of such series and such Coupons, for principal (and any premium) and interest and for any overdue sinking fund payment together with interest upon the overdue principal and installments of interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate or rates of interest borne by or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities), or prescribed therefor in, the Securities of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expense of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith. In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon such 36 Securities, and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. SECTION 6.03. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 6.04. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee to the fullest 37 extent permitted by law without the possession of any of the Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. SECTION 6.05. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the several Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of any interest on such Securities, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest upon the overdue installments of interest (so far as permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee at the rate or rates of interest borne by or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) of such Securities or prescribed therefor therein) such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon such Securities for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and any installments of interest (so far as permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) at the rate or rates of interest borne by or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities), or prescribed therefor in, such Securities; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such Securities, 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 over any other Security, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, with appropriate interest to the Company or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits by Holders of Securities. 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 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 38 for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities 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 (including the reasonable fees of counsel for the Trustee), and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06; 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 the Holders of any other of such 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 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, 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, in the case of redemption, on or after the date fixed for redemption), 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 6.07. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders. 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. SECTION 6.08. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every right and 39 remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. SECTION 6.09. Control by Holders; Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all series (voting as one class) at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that, subject to Section 7.01 the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not parties to such direction, and provided further that nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Holders. The Company may set a special record date for purposes of determining the identity of the Holders of Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by this Section 6.09. Such record date shall be the later of 15 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Indenture prior to such solicitation. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past Event of Default with respect to such series and its consequences (subject to Section 6.02), except a continuing Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c), or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which under Article Ten cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and such Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured and not continuing for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 6.10. Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to it, but May Withhold in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within 90 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 4.09, 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, unless in each case such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term "default" 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 40 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 6.11. Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits Under the Indenture or Against the Trustee. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by such Holder's 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 6.11 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities of any series, or group of such Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Securities of such series Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any interest or premium on any Security, on or after the due date expressed in such Security or for such interest (or in the case of any redemption, on or after the dated fixed for redemption). SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that they will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. ARTICLE SEVEN CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured, remedied or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, provided, however, that: (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waving of all Events of Default which may have occurred: 41 (1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee 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 (2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 6.09 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 hereunder 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 adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. 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, debenture, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer's Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof shall be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a Board Resolution; (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, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such written advice or Opinion of Counsel; 42 (d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be 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, debenture, note or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 6.09; 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 such proceeding; and provided further, that nothing in this subsection (f) shall require the Trustee to give the Securityholders any notice other than that required by Section 6.10. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Company upon demand; (g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; and (h) The Trustee shall be under no responsibility for the approval by it in good faith of any expert for any of the purposes expressed in this Indenture. SECTION 7.03. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Application of Proceeds. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (other than the certificate of authentication on the Securities) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof. SECTION 7.04. Trustee May Own Securities or Coupons. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, registrar or any agent of the Company or of 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 Trustee, Paying Agent, registrar or such other agent. SECTION 7.05. Moneys Received by Trustee to be Held in Trust. Moneys held by the Trustee in trust 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 money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. 43 SECTION 7.06. Trustee Entitled to Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnity. The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of any express trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection with the acceptance or administration of its trust under 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 agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee, to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances and to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of or interest or redemption premium on particular Securities. SECTION 7.07. Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer's Certificate Where No Other Evidence Specifically Prescribed. 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, 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 of the Company delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer's 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 7.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interest. (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section 7.08, it shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, and if the Event of Default to which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured or duly waived or otherwise eliminated before the end of such 90-day period, the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08, resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10, such resignation to become effective upon the appointment of a successor trustee and such successor's acceptance of such appointment, and the Company shall take prompt steps to appoint a successor in accordance with Section 7.10. (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.08, the Trustee shall, within ten days after the expiration of such 90-day period, transmit notice of such failure to the Securityholders in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of said Section 5.04. 44 (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.11 of this Indenture, unless the Trustee's duty to resign is stayed as provided in subsection (f) of this Section 7.08, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of Securities for at least six months may, on such Holder's behalf and on behalf of all other Holders similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor, if such Trustee fails after written request thereof by such Holder to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.08. (d) For the purposes of this Section 7.08 the Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Securities of any series if an Event of Default (exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice) has occurred with respect to Securities of such series and: (1) the Trustee is trustee under another indenture under which any other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any other securities, of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities are outstanding or is trustee for more than one outstanding series of securities, as hereinafter defined, under a single indenture of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities, unless such other indenture is a collateral trust indenture under which the only collateral consists of Securities issued under this Indenture, provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of this paragraph, this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any other series Outstanding, and any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities are outstanding, if (A) this Indenture is and such other indenture or indentures (and all series of securities issued 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 the provisions of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and one or more other series, or 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 Securities of such series and such other series, or under this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures, or (B) 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 Securities of such series and such other series, or under this Indenture and such other indenture, is not so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and such other series, or under this Indenture and one of such indentures; (2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Securities; (3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Securities; 45 (4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee or representative of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities, or of an underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for the Company or any other obligor on the Securities 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 or any other obligor on the Securities, but may not be at the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and the Company or any other obligor on the Securities; (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 or any other obligor on the Securities; and (C) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Securities to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent or depositary, or in any other similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection (d), to act as trustee whether under an indenture or otherwise; (5) ten percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities 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 ten percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Securities 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 defined, (A) five percent or more of the voting securities, or ten percent or more of any other class of security, of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities, not including the Securities issued under this Indenture and securities issued under any other indenture under which the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) ten percent or more of any class of security of an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Securities; (7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, as hereinafter defined, five percent or more of the voting securities of any Person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns ten percent or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities; (8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, as hereinafter defined, ten percent 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 or any other obligor on the Securities; or (9) the Trustee owns on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice) or any anniversary thereof while such Event of Default 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 46 beneficial ownership of a specified percentage of which would have constituted a conflicting interest under paragraph (6), (7) or (8) of this subsection (d). As to any such securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary trustee of an estate which included them, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, for a period of two years from the date of such acquisition, to the extent that such securities included in such estate do not exceed 25% of such voting securities or 25% of any such class of security. Promptly after the date of the occurrence of any such Event of Default and annually in each succeeding year that the Securities or any series thereof remain in default, the Trustee shall make a check of its holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of such date. If the Company or any other obligor on the Securities fails to make payment in full of principal of or interest on any of the Securities when and as the same become due and payable and such failure continues for 30 days thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of its holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the expiration of such 30-day period, and after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (9), all such securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure shall continue, be considered as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7) and (8) of this subsection (d); or (10) except under the circumstances described in paragraphs (1), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of Section 7.13(b), the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities. The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this subsection (d) shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such percentages of the securities of a Person is or is not necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (d). For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subsection (d) 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 an 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. (e) For the purposes of this Section 7.08: (1) The term "underwriter" when used with reference to the Company or any other obligor on the Securities shall mean every Person who, within one year prior to the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased from the Company or any other obligor on the Securities with a view to, or has offered or sold for the Company or any other obligor on the Securities in connection with, the distribution of any security of the Company or 47 any other obligor on the Securities outstanding at such time, or has participated or has had a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a participation in 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 director of a Company or any individual performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated. (3) 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 "executive officer" shall mean the president, every vice-president, every trust officer, the cashier, the secretary and the treasurer of a Company, and any individual customarily performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated, but shall not include the chairman of the board of directors. (6) Except for purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of subsection (d) of this Section 7.08, the term "security" or "securities" 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. (7) For the purpose of subsection (d)(1) of this Section 7.08, the term "series of securities" or "series" 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 unsecured. The percentages of voting securities and other securities specified in this Section shall be calculated in accordance with the following provisions: (A) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the Trustee, the Company or any other Person referred to in this Section 7.08 (each of whom is referred to as a "Person" in this paragraph) means such amount of the outstanding voting securities of such Person as entitles the Holder or Holders thereof to cast such specified percentage of the 48 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. (B) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a Person means such percentage of the aggregate amount of securities of the class outstanding. (C) 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. (D) 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. (E) 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 rate 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 interest on any Securities, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment, the Trustee shall not be required to resign as provided by this Section 7.08 if the Trustee shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that (i) the default under this 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 Holders of such series of Securities. 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 appointment. 49 SECTION 7.09. Requirements for Eligibility of Trustee. There shall always be at least one Trustee hereunder. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a Company organized and doing business as a commercial bank under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or of the District of Columbia or a Company or other Person permitted to act as a trustee by the Commission and, in each case, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having (or, in the case of a subsidiary of a bank holding company, its bank holding company parent shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such Company or holding company parent 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 Company or holding company parent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. No obligor on the Securities or Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article Seven. SECTION 7.10. Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor. (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 Company 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 4.09, 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 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 Company 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: (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 Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months; or 50 (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 Securityholder; or (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or (4) the Company shall determine that the Trustee has failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by an authorized officer of the Company, 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 6.11, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the affected series for at least six months may, on such Person's behalf and on behalf of 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 principal amount of the Securities Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, or by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of a meeting of the Securityholders evidencing the vote upon a resolution or resolutions submitted thereto with respect to such removal and appointment (as provided in Article Nine), and by delivery thereof to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee and to the Company. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. SECTION 7.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers with respect to the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon written request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06. 51 No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.11, the Company 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 3.09, 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, 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 Company 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 7.10. If the Company 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 Company. SECTION 7.12. Successor to Trustee by Merger, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Company succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of the trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Company 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 at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities 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 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 certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 7.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 7.13, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities within three months prior to a default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the 52 Holders of the Securities for which it is acting as Trustee, and the holders of other indenture securities (as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13): (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 or such other obligor on the Securities 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 or such other obligor on the Securities upon the date of such default; and (2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claims as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such 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 or such other obligor on the Securities and their respective 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 or such other obligor on the Securities) 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 or such other obligor on the Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State laws; (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 7.13, 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 53 in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any preexisting claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such preexisting claim. If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned among the Trustee, the Holders of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee, and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, such Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company or such other obligor on the Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company or such other obligor on the Securities of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, such Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company or such other obligor on the Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall include any distribution with respect to such claim in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities or other property, but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceeding for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion among the Trustee, such Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee, such Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claim, 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. 54 In every case commenced under the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, or any amendment thereto enacted prior to November 6, 1978, all references to periods of three months shall be deemed to be references to periods of four months. (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this Section 7.13 a creditor relationship arising from: (1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee; (2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, or by this Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property which shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advance and of the circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the Securityholders at the time and in the manner provided in Section 5.04(c) with respect to reports pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) thereof, respectively; (3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar capacity; (4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises rented, or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13; (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 any other obligor on the Securities; and (6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which fall within the classification of self-liquidating paper as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13. (c) As used in this Section 7.13 the following terms shall be accorded the following definitions: (1) the term "default" shall mean any failure to make payment in full of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities or on the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and payable. (2) the term "other indenture securities" shall mean securities upon which the Company or any other obligor on the Securities 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 7.13, and (C) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property held in said special account. 55 (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 or any other obligor on the Securities 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 or any other obligor on the Securities arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. SECTION 7.14. 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 Company 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 2.09. 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 (or, in the case of a subsidiary of a bank holding company, its bank holding company parent shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $45,000,000 (determined as provided in Section 7.09 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 (including the agency contemplated by this Indenture), 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 Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case in any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.14 with respect to one or more series of Securities, the Trustee shall upon receipt of a Company Order appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and the Company shall provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 13.02. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its 56 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 Company 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. If an appointment is made with respect to one or more series pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form: This is one of the Securities described in the within-mentioned Indenture. State Street Bank and Trust Company of California N.A., As Trustee By ----------------------------------------- As Authenticating Agent By ----------------------------------------- Authorized Signatory Sections 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.06 and 8.03 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent. 57 ARTICLE EIGHT CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS SECTION 8.01. Evidence of Action by Securityholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of the Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Securityholders in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such Holders of Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Securityholders. SECTION 8.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or such Holder's agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities 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 Securities of any series (including Registered Global Securities) shall be proved by the Register of such Securities of such series, or by certificates of the Security registrar or registrars thereof. The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any Person as a Securityholder unless and until such Person's title to the Securities held by it is proved in the manner in this Article Eight provided. The record of any Securityholders' meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06. The Trustee may accept such other proof or require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem reasonable. SECTION 8.03. Who May be Deemed Owners of Securities. Prior to due presentment for transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the Register of Securities of the series of which such Security is a part 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 interest, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon such Holder's order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability of moneys payable upon any 58 such Security. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company 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 Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company 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. If the Securities of any series are issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities, the Depository therefor may grant proxies to Persons having a beneficial ownership in such Registered Global Security or Securities for purposes of voting or otherwise responding to any request for consent, waiver or other action which the Holder of such Registered Security is entitled to grant or take under this Indenture and the Trustee shall accept such proxies for the purposes granted; provided that neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any obligation with respect to the grant of or solicitation by the Depository of such proxies. SECTION 8.04. Securities Owned by the Company or Controlled or Controlling Persons Disregarded for Certain Purposes. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have concurred in any demand, direction, request, notice, vote, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such demand, direction, request, notice, vote, consent, waiver or other action, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to its principal office knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer's Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, 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 10.04. Securities May Bear Notation of Changes by Supplemental Indentures. Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten, or after any action taken at a Securityholders' meeting pursuant to Article Nine, may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such Supplemental Indenture or as to any action taken at any such meeting. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, 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 Securities then Outstanding. 65 ARTICLE ELEVEN DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE SECTION 11.01.

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 13.12. Bermuda Branch, Full Recourse Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all payment of principal and interest by the Company with respect to the Notes will be made by the Company through its Bermuda branch office; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that its Obligations hereunder are full recourse to the Company and are in no manner limited to any extent to any branch thereof and shall in no manner impair the Trustee's ability to collect any Obligation from the Company.

(17) any trustees, depositaries, authenticating or paying agents, transfer agents or registrars of any other agents with respect to the Subordinated Securities of such series; (18) any additional events of default or covenants with respect to the Subordinated Securities of a particular series not set forth herein; (19) the terms of subordination applicable to such series of Subordinated Securities; (20) the terms and conditions, if any, upon which any Subordinated Securities of such series may or shall be converted or exchanged into other instruments or other forms of 10 property of the Company or its subsidiaries, including without limitation, securities of another Person held by the Company or its Affiliates, and if so the terms thereof; and (21) any other terms of such series of Subordinated Securities (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture). (b) All Subordinated Securities of any one series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be substantially identical except that any series may have serial maturities and different interest rates for different maturities and except in the case of Registered Subordinated Securities as to denomination and the differences herein specified between Registered Global Subordinated Securities and Registered Subordinated Securities issued in definitive form and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture relating to such series of Subordinated Securities. All Subordinated Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time, and, unless otherwise provided in the Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture relating to such series, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Subordinated Securities of such series. SECTION 2.04. Authentication and Delivery of Subordinated Indentures. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Subordinated Indenture, the Company may deliver any series of Subordinated Securities having attached thereto appropriate Coupons, if any, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication by it together with the applicable documents referred to below in this Section 2.04, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Subordinated Securities (or if only a single Subordinated Security, such Subordinated Security) and Coupons, if any, to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by an officer of the Company, without any further corporate action. The maturity date, original issue date, interest rate and any other terms of the Subordinated Securities of such series and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be determined by or pursuant to such Company Order and procedures. If provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which instructions, if oral, shall be promptly confirmed in writing. In authenticating such Subordinated Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Subordinated Indenture in relation to such Subordinated 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 Company to the Trustee to authenticate Subordinated Securities of such series) and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, the following enumerated documents unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked: (1) a Company Order requesting such authentication and setting forth delivery instructions if the Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, are not to be delivered to the Company, provided that, with respect to Subordinated Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, (a) such Company Order may be delivered by the Company to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the Trustee of such Subordinated Securities for authentication and delivery, (b) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Subordinated Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the aggregate principal 11 amount established for such series, pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order, (c) the maturity date or dates, original issue date or dates, interest rate or rates and any other terms of Subordinated Securities of such series shall be determined by a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures and (d) if provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which instructions, if oral, shall be promptly confirmed in writing; (2) any Board Resolution, Officer's Certificate and/or executed Supplemental Subordinated Indenture referred to in Section 2.01 and 2.03 by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, were established; (3) an Officer's Certificate setting forth the form or forms and terms of the Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, stating that the form or forms and terms of the Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, have been established pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.03 and comply with this Subordinated Indenture, and covering such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; (4) At the option of the Company, 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 form or forms of the Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, have been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture; (b) in the case of an underwritten offering, the terms of the Subordinated Securities have been duly authorized and established in conformity with the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture, and, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, certain terms of the Subordinated Securities have been established pursuant to a Board Resolution, an Officer's Certificate or a Supplemental Subordinated Indenture in accordance with this Subordinated Indenture, and when such other terms as are to be established pursuant to procedures set forth in a Company Order shall have been established, all such terms will have been duly authorized by the Company and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture; (c) this Indenture and such Subordinated Securities, when executed and issued by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, except as any rights thereunder may be limited by the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium or other laws affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally; the rules governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; the effect of applicable court decisions invoking statutes or principles of equity, which have held that certain 12 covenants and provisions of agreements are unenforceable where the breach of such covenants or provisions imposes restrictions or burdens upon a borrower, and it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such restrictions or burdens is necessary for the protection of the creditor, or which have held that the creditor's enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would have violated the creditor's covenants of good faith and fair dealing implied under California law; and the effect of California statutes and rules of law which cannot be waived prospectively by a borrower, and such counsel need express no opinion with regard to the enforceability of Section 7.06 or of a judgment denominated in a currency other than United States Dollars; and (d) the Company has complied with all applicable Federal laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of such Subordinated Securities; (5) if the Securities are to be secured, a supplemental indenture conforming to the requirements of Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, and such other documents as may be required by Section 314; and (6) if the Securities are to be convertible, a supplemental indenture conforming to the requirements of Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, and such other documents as may be required by Section 314. 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, fraudulent transfer 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) 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 Company and its subsidiaries and certificates of public officials. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Subordinated Securities under this section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Company 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 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 Subordinated Securities, this Subordinated Indenture or otherwise. SECTION 2.05. Execution of Subordinated Securities. The Subordinated Securities and each Coupon appertaining thereto, if any, shall be executed manually or in facsimile, by any two of the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President, and Vice President, the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company under its corporate seal (except in the case of Coupons), which may be affixed thereto or printed, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise. Only such Subordinated Securities or Coupons, if any, as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form recited herein, executed by the Trustee manually by an authorized officer, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate of authentication of the Trustee upon any Subordinated Security or Coupon, if any, executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Subordinated Security or Coupon so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture. Typographical or other errors or defects in the seal or facsimile signature on any 13 Subordinated Security or in the text thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such Subordinated Security if it has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Subordinated Securities or Coupons, if any, (manually or in facsimile) shall cease to be such officer before the Subordinated Securities or Coupons so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Subordinated Securities or Coupons nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Subordinated Securities or Coupons had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Also, any Subordinated Security or Coupon may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as on the actual date of execution of such Subordinated Security or Coupon shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Subordinated Indenture or on the nominal date of such Subordinated Security any such Person was not such officer. SECTION 2.06. Certificate of Authentication. Only such Subordinated 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 Subordinated Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. No Coupon shall be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture or shall be valid and obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication on the Subordinated Security to which such Coupon appertains shall have been duly executed by the Trustee. The execution of such certificate by the Trustee upon any Subordinated Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Subordinated Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture. SECTION 2.07. Denominations; Payment of Interest on Subordinated Securities. (a) The Subordinated Securities of each series may be issued as Registered Subordinated Securities or Unregistered Subordinated Securities in denominations all as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of such provisions with respect to the Registered Subordinated Securities of any series, the Subordinated Securities of such series (other than any Registered Global Subordinated Securities) shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 (or [Euro] 1,000, as applicable) and any integral multiple thereof. If denominations of Unregistered Subordinated Securities of any series are not so established, such Subordinated Securities shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and $5,000 (or [Euro] 1,000 and [Euro] 5,000). The Subordinated Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. (b) If the Subordinated Securities of any series shall bear interest, each Subordinated Security of such series shall bear interest from the applicable date at the rate per annum specified in the Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with respect to such series of Subordinated Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any series, interest on the Subordinated Securities of such series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 14 twelve 30-day months. Such interest shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates specified in the Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture with respect to such series of Subordinated Securities. The Person in whose name any Subordinated Security (or one or more Predecessor Subordinated Securities) is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date for the series of which such Subordinated Security is a part shall be entitled to receive the interest payable thereon on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Subordinated Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date unless such Subordinated Security shall have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date which is subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date or unless the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date on any Subordinated Security of such series. Any interest on any Subordinated Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Record Date solely by virtue of such Holder having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Subordinated Securities of any series to the Persons in whose names such Subordinated Securities (or their respective Predecessor Subordinated Securities) 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 Subordinated Security and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be such as will enable the Trustee to comply with the next sentence hereof), 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 subsection provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not 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 Holder of a Subordinated Security of such series at such Holder's address as it appears in the Register 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 the Subordinated Securities of such series are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following subsection (2). (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Subordinated Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Subordinated Securities may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the 15 proposed payment pursuant to this subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Interest on Subordinated Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, each Subordinated Security delivered under this Subordinated Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Subordinated Security shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Subordinated Security and each such Subordinated Security shall bear interest from such date, such that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution. SECTION 2.08. Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Subordinated Securities. Except as specifically otherwise provided herein with respect to Registered Global Subordinated Securities, Subordinated Securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Subordinated Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the offices or agencies to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 and the Company shall execute the Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities which the Subordinated Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. The Company shall cause the Trustee to keep or cause to be kept, at one or more of the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 with respect to the Subordinated Securities of each series, the Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Subordinated Securities of such series and the transfer of Registered Subordinated Securities of such series as in this Article provided. The Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any registrar of the Subordinated Securities of such series other than the Trustee. Upon due presentment for transfer of any Subordinated Security of any series at the offices or agencies of the Company to be maintained in accordance with Section 4.03 with respect to the Registered Subordinated Securities of such series, the Company shall execute a new Subordinated Security and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Subordinated Security or Registered Subordinated Securities of the same series for a like aggregate principal amount of authorized denominations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.08, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Registered Subordinated Securities in definitive form, a Global Subordinated Security representing all or a portion of the Registered Subordinated Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository for such series to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository for such series or a nominee of such successor Depository. 16 Unregistered Subordinated Securities (except for any temporary global Unregistered Subordinated Securities) and Coupons (except for Coupons attached to any temporary global Unregistered Subordinated Securities) shall be transferable by delivery. At the option of the Holder thereof, Registered Subordinated Securities of any series (other than a Registered Global Subordinated Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a Registered Subordinated Security or Registered Subordinated Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Registered Subordinated Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.03 and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. If the Subordinated Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Subordinated Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Subordinated Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Subordinated Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.03, with, in the case of Unregistered Subordinated Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. At the option of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Subordinated Securities of any series, maturity date, interest rate and original issue date are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03, such Unregistered Subordinated Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered Subordinated Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Subordinated Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.03, with, in the case of Unregistered Subordinated Securities that have Coupons attached, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Registered Subordinated Securities of any series may not be exchanged for Unregistered Subordinated Securities of such series unless (1) otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03 and (2) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that (x) the Company has received from the IRS a ruling or (y) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that the inclusion of terms permitting Registered Subordinated Securities to be exchanged for Unregistered Subordinated Securities would result in no United States federal income tax effect adverse to the Company or to any Holder. Whenever any Subordinated Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Subordinated Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Subordinated Securities and Coupons, if any, surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this Subordinated Indenture shall be promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of disposition thereof to the Company. All Registered Subordinated Securities of any series presented or surrendered for exchange, transfer, redemption, conversion or payment shall, if so required by the Company or any registrar of the Subordinated Securities of such series, be accompanied by a written 17 instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and such registrar, duly executed by the registered Holder or by such Person's attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Subordinated Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. The Company shall not be required to exchange or transfer (a) any Subordinated Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the first publication or the mailing (if there is no publication) of a notice of redemption of Subordinated Securities of such series and ending at the close of business on the day of such publication or mailing or (b) any Subordinated Securities called or selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of Subordinated Securities called for redemption in part, the portion thereof not so called for redemption in whole or in part or during a period beginning at the opening of business on any Record Date for such series and ending at the close of business on the relevant Interest Payment Date therefor. SECTION 2.09. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Subordinated Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Subordinated Security or any Coupon appertaining to any Subordinated Security shall be mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute and, upon the written request of any officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and delivery, a new Subordinated 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 Subordinated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Subordinated Security so destroyed, lost or stolen with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons appertaining to the Subordinated Securities so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, or in exchange or substitution for the Subordinated 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 Subordinated Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company 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 Subordinated Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof, and in the case of mutilation or defacement shall surrender the Subordinated Security and related Coupons to the Trustee or such agent. Upon the issuance of any substitute Subordinated Security or Coupon, 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) or its agent connected therewith. In case any Subordinated 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 Company may instead of issuing a substitute Subordinated 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 Subordinated Security or Coupon), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them 18 may require 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 and any agent of the Company or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Subordinated Security or Coupons and of the ownership thereof. Every substitute Subordinated Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Subordinated Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Subordinated 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 Subordinated Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Subordinated Securities or Coupons of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Subordinated 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 Subordinated Securities and Coupons and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statue 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 and Destruction of Surrendered Subordinated Securities. All Subordinated Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, conversion or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if any, shall, if surrendered to the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and the same, together with Subordinated Securities surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, shall be canceled by it and thereafter disposed of by it as directed by the Company, and no Subordinated Securities or Coupons shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy canceled Subordinated Securities and Coupons and deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company unless by an Officer's Certificate of the Company, the Company shall direct that canceled Subordinated Securities be returned to it. If the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Subordinated Securities and Coupons, however, such purchase or acquisition shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Subordinated Securities or Coupons unless and until the Company, at its option shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.11. Temporary Subordinated Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Subordinated Securities of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Subordinated Securities of such series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in each case satisfactory to the Trustee. Temporary Subordinated Securities of any series shall be issuable as Registered Subordinated Securities without coupons, or as Unregistered Subordinated Securities with or without coupons attached thereto of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Subordinated Securities of such series but with such appropriate omissions, insertions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Subordinated Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Subordinated Securities. Every such temporary Subordinated Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Subordinated 19 Securities. If temporary Subordinated Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Subordinated Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Subordinated Securities, the temporary Subordinated Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Subordinated Securities upon surrender of the temporary Subordinated Securities without charge to the Holder at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Trustee as provided in Section 4.03 with respect to the Subordinated Securities of such series and in the case of Unregistered Subordinated Securities, at any agency maintained by the Company for such purpose as specified pursuant to Section 2.03. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Subordinated Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Subordinated Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Subordinated Securities of such series and in the case of Unregistered Subordinated Securities, having attached thereto any appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged, the temporary Subordinated Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture and interest thereon, when and as payable, shall be paid to the registered owners thereof. The provisions of this Section are subject to any restrictions or limitations on the issue and delivery of temporary Unregistered Subordinated Securities of any series that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03 (including any provision that Unregistered Subordinated Securities of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global Unregistered Subordinated Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency located outside the United States and the procedures pursuant to which definitive or global Unregistered Subordinated Securities of such series would be issued in exchange for such temporary global Unregistered Subordinated Security). SECTION 2.12. Subordinated Securities in Global Form; Depositories. (a) Each Registered Global Subordinated Security shall: (i) represent and be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of the series to be represented by such Registered Global Subordinated Security, (ii) be registered in the name of either the Depository for such Registered Global Subordinated Security or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's written instruction and (iv) bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Subordinated Securities in definitive form, this Registered Global Subordinated Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of any successor Depository." The notation of the record owner's interest in such Registered Global Subordinated Security upon the original issuance thereof shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with the original issuance of each beneficial owner's interest in such Registered Global Subordinated Security. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and the Trustee shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability with respect to: (x) the maintenance, review or accuracy of the records of the Depository or of any of its participating organizations with respect to any ownership interest in or payments with respect to such Registered Global Subordinated Security, (y) any communication with or delivery of any notice (including notices of redemption) with respect to the series of Subordinated Securities represented by the Registered Global Subordinated Security to any Person having any ownership interest in such Registered Global Subordinated Security or to any of the Depository's participating organizations or (z) any payment made on account of any beneficial ownership interest in such Registered Global Subordinated Security. 20 (b) If any Subordinated Security of a series is issuable in the form of a Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, each such Registered Global Subordinated Security may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Subordinated Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Subordinated Securities of such series represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Registered Global Subordinated Security to reflect the amount of Outstanding Subordinated Securities of a series represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee and in such manner as shall be specified on such Registered Global Subordinated Security. Any instructions by the Company with respect to a Registered Global Subordinated Security, after its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 13.03 of this Subordinated Indenture. (c) Each Depository designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03 of this Subordinated Indenture for a Registered Global Subordinated Security must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as a depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable statute or regulation. If at any time the Depository for the Subordinated Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Subordinated Securities of such series or if at any time the Depository for the Subordinated Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under this Section 2.12, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Subordinated Securities of such series. If a successor Depository for the Subordinated Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or learns of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute and the Company shall direct the Trustee to authenticate and deliver definitive Subordinated Securities of such series in authorized denominations in exchange for the Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities. Upon receipt of such direction, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver the definitive Subordinated Securities of such series in the same aggregate principal amount as the Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities representing such series in exchange for such Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.12, without any further corporate action by the Company. (d) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Registered Subordinated Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Subordinated Securities shall no longer be represented by such Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities. In such event, the Company will execute and upon receipt of a written order from the Company, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Subordinated Securities of such series in definitive form and in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities representing such series in exchange for such Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.12 without any further corporate action by the Company. (e) Upon any exchange hereunder of the Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities for Subordinated Securities in definitive form, such Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee. Registered 21 Subordinated Securities issued hereunder in exchange for the Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Registered Global Subordinated Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such definitive Subordinated Securities in exchange for the Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities to the persons in whose name such definitive Subordinated Securities have been registered in accordance with the directions of the Depository. (f) Any time the Registered Subordinated Securities of any series are not in the form of Registered Global Subordinated Securities pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Company agrees to supply the Trustee with a reasonable supply of certified Registered Subordinated Securities without the legend required by this Section 2.12 and the Trustee agrees to hold such Registered Subordinated Securities in safekeeping until authenticated and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Subordinated Indenture. If established by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to any Registered Global Subordinated Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Subordinated Security may surrender such Registered Global Subordinated Security in exchange in whole or in part for Subordinated Securities of the same series and tenor in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (i) to the Person specified by such Depositary new Registered Subordinated Securities of the same series and tenor, 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 Subordinated Security; and (ii) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Subordinated Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global Subordinated Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Subordinated Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (i) above. Registered Subordinated Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Subordinated Security pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Subordinated Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Subordinated Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Subordinated Securities are so registered. All Subordinated Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Subordinated Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Subordinated Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 22 Notwithstanding anything herein or in the forms or terms of any Subordinated Securities to the contrary, none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Subordinated Security for a Registered Subordinated Security if such exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Company (such as, for example, the inability of the Company to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered Subordinated Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws. The Trustee and any such agent shall be entitled to rely on an Officers' Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in determining such result. SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Subordinated Securities may use "CUSIP" and "CINS" numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders and no representation shall be made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Subordinated Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange. SECTION 2.14. Series May Include Tranches. A series of Subordinated Securities may include one or more tranches (each a "tranche") of Subordinated Securities, including Subordinated Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The Subordinated Securities of different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and public offering prices, but all the Subordinated Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms, including authentication date and public offering price. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Subordinated Indenture, with respect to Sections 2.05 through 2.12, 3.01 through 3.06, 4.03, 6.01 through 6.12, 10.02 and 11.01 through 11.05, if any series of Subordinated Securities includes more than one tranche, all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Subordinated Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Subordinated Securities in the same manner as though originally designated a series unless otherwise provided with respect to such series or tranche pursuant to Section 2.03. In particular, and without limiting the scope of the next preceding sentence, any of the provisions of such sections which provide for or permit action to be taken with respect to a series of Subordinated Securities shall also be deemed to provide for and permit such action to be taken instead only with respect to Subordinated Securities of one or more tranches within that series (and such provisions shall be deemed satisfied thereby), even if no comparable action is taken with respect to Subordinated Securities in the remaining tranches of that series. ARTICLE THREE REDEMPTION OF SUBORDINATED SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS SECTION 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Subordinated Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Subordinated Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Subordinated Securities of such series. SECTION 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Registered Subordinated Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in 23 part at the option of the Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Register. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Subordinated 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 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 Company, the Trustee shall make such information available to the Company for such purpose). Notice of redemption to all other Holders of Unregistered Subordinated 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 4.09, 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 Subordinated 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 such Subordinated Security of such series. The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal amount of each Subordinated 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 Subordinated Securities and, in the case of Subordinated 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 Subordinated 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 Subordinated Security, a new Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. The notice of redemption of Subordinated Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and holder in trust as provided in Section 4.05) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Subordinated Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 70 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Officer's Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount 24 of Subordinated Securities to be redeemed. In case of a redemption at the election of the Company prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption, the Company 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 Subordinated Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, in its sole discretion, Subordinated Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part. Subordinated Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Subordinated Securities of such series or any multiple thereof. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Subordinated Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Subordinated Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Subordinated Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Subordinated Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Subordinated Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Subordinated Security which has been or is to be redeemed. SECTION 3.03. Payment of Subordinated Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Subordinated Securities or portions of Subordinated 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 Company shall default in the payment of such Subordinated Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Subordinated Securities or portions of Subordinated 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 7.05 and 11.04, such Subordinated Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Subordinated Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Subordinated 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 Subordinated 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 Subordinated Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided, that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable in the case of Subordinated Securities with Coupons attached thereto, to the Holders of the Coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Subordinated Securities, to the Holder of such Registered Subordinated Securities registered as such on the relevant record date, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.03 and 2.07 hereof. If any Subordinated 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 Subordinated Security) borne by such Subordinated Security. 25 If any Subordinated 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 Company 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 Subordinated Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Subordinated Security so presented. SECTION 3.04. Exclusion of Certain Subordinated Securities From Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Subordinated 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 Company 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 Company. SECTION 3.05. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Subordinated 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 Subordinated Securities of any series 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 Subordinated Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Subordinated Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Company or receive credit for Subordinated Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company 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 Subordinated Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Subordinated Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Subordinated Securities. On or before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 13.03) (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 Subordinated Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the Subordinated Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no 26 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 Company 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 Company intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Subordinated Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Company 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 Company 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 Company, on or before any such 60th day, to deliver such Officer's Certificate and Subordinated 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 Company (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 Subordinated Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Company 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 United States Dollars (or the equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency or ECU) if the Company shall so request with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Subordinated 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 Company 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 3.02, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Subordinated Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Company) inform the Company of the serial numbers of the Subordinated Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Subordinated 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 Company 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 Company. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company (or the Company, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Subordinated Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 3.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 3.03) for the redemption of Subordinated Securities of such series in part at the option of the Company. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Subordinated Securities of such series shall be added to 27 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 Subordinated Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Subordinated 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 Subordinated Securities of such series at its Stated Maturity. On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company 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 Subordinated Securities to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date. The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Subordinated Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or give any notice of redemption of Subordinated Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Subordinated Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the giving of notice of redemption of any Subordinated Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Subordinated Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Company 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 5 and held for the payment of all such Subordinated Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 6.09 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 Subordinated Securities. ARTICLE FOUR PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY SECTION 4.01. Payment of Principal of and Interest on Subordinated Securities. The Company covenants that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and any interest and premium on each of the Subordinated Securities in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Securities and in the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and this Subordinated Indenture. Except with respect to any Registered Global Subordinated Securities, if the Subordinated Securities of any series bear interest, each installment of interest on the Subordinated Securities of such series may, at the option of the Company, be paid by mailing a check or checks for such interest payable to the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.07 to the address of such Person as it appears on the Register of such series on the applicable Record Date for such interest payment. 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 28 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 2.03. The interest, if any, 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 Company, 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 Register of the Company. SECTION 4.02. Corporate Existence of the Company; Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Transfer. The Company covenants that so long as any of the Subordinated Securities are Outstanding, it will maintain its existence, will not dissolve, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and will not consolidate with or merge into another entity or permit one or more other entities to consolidate with or merge into it; provided that the Company may, without violating the covenants in this Section 4.02 contained, consolidate with or merge into another entity or permit one or more other entities to consolidate with or merge into it, or sell or otherwise transfer to another entity all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety and thereafter dissolve, if the surviving, resulting or transferee entity, as the case may be, (i) shall be organized and existing under the laws of (a) one of the States of the United States of America, the District of Columbia or Singapore, or (b) any other country, subject to any limitations or conditions set forth in the applicable supplement to this Indenture, (ii) assumes, if such entity is not the Company, all of the obligations of the Company hereunder and (iii) is not, after such transaction, otherwise in default under any provisions hereof. SECTION 4.03. Maintenance of Offices or Agencies for Transfer, Registration, Exchange and Payment of Subordinated Securities. So long as any of the Subordinated Securities shall remain Outstanding, the Company covenants that it will cause the Trustee to maintain an office or agency in either The City of New York, State of New York, or the City and County of Los Angeles, State of California, where the Subordinated Securities may be presented for registration, exchange and transfer as in this Subordinated Indenture provided, and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Subordinated Securities or of this Subordinated Indenture may be served, and where the Subordinated Securities may be presented for payment. In case the Trustee shall fail to maintain any such office or agency, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the principal office of the Company. The Company will maintain one or more 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 any 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 Company 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 Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if full payment in United States Dollars at each agency maintained by the Company outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered 29 Securities or Coupons appertaining thereto is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions, payments in United States Dollars of Unregistered Securities of any series and coupons appertaining thereto which are payable in United States Dollars may be made at an agency of the Company maintained in the City of New York. The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Subordinated Securities of any series, the Coupons appertaining thereto or this Subordinated Indenture may be served. The Company 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 Company shall fail to maintain any agency required by this Section to be located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or the City and County of Los Angeles, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or for any change in the location of any of the above agencies, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Principal Office of the Trustee. The Company may from time to time designate one or more additional offices or agencies where the Subordinated Securities of a series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented for payment, where the Subordinated Securities of that series may be presented for exchange as provided in this Subordinated Indenture and pursuant to Section 2.04 and where the Registered Subordinated Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer as in this Subordinated Indenture provided, and the Company may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain the agencies provided for in this Section. The Company shall give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof. SECTION 4.04. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in the Office of Trustee. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, covenants that it will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Outstanding Subordinated Securities. SECTION 4.05. Duties of Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to Subordinated 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 4.05 and Section 11.04, (1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Subordinated Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities entitled to such principal or interest and will notify the Trustee of the receipt of sums to be so held, (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities of such series) to make any payment of the 30 principal of or interest on the Subordinated Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable, and (3) that it will at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by it. (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any series, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any interest and premium on the Subordinated Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent of such series a sum sufficient to pay the principal or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Subordinated Securities entitled to such principal 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) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such series or the Coupons appertaining thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. (d) Anything in this Section 4.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Subordinated Indenture with respect to one or more or all series of Subordinated Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for such series by it, or any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section 4.05, and such sums are to be held by the Trustee upon the trust herein contained. SECTION 4.06. Notice of Default. The Company covenants that, as soon as is practicable, the Company will furnish the Trustee notice of any event which is an Event of Default or which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing on the date of such notice, which notice shall set forth the nature of such event and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. SECTION 4.07. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all properties used in or useful in the conduct of its business 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 Company 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 Company may be prevented from so doing by circumstances beyond its control; provided, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company 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 Company desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Subordinated Securityholders. 31 SECTION 4.08. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

ARTICLE FIVE SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE SECTION 5.01. Company to Furnish Trustee Information as to the Names and Addresses of Subordinated Securityholders. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days after each date (month and day) specified as an Interest Payment Date for the Subordinated Securities of the first series issued under this Subordinated Indenture (whether or not any Subordinated Securities of that series are then Outstanding), but in no event less frequently than semiannually, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require containing all the information in the possession or control of the Company, or any of its Paying Agents other than the Trustee, as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Subordinated Securities, obtained since the date as of which the next previous list, if any, was furnished, excluding from any such list the names and addresses received by the Trustee in its capacity as registrar (if so acting). Any such list may be dated as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished and need not include information received after such date. SECTION 5.02. Preservation of Information; Communication to Subordinated Securityholders. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of each series (1) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01, (2) received by the Trustee in the capacity of Paying Agent or registrar (if so acting) and (3) filed with the Trustee within the two preceding years as provided for in Section 5.04(c). The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 32 (b) If three or more Holders of Subordinated Securities (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 Subordinated Security for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders of Subordinated Securities of any series or with Holders of all Subordinated Securities with respect to their rights under this Subordinated Indenture or under such Subordinated Securities, and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either: (1) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.02; or (2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series or all Subordinated Securities, 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 Subordinated Securityholders the form of proxy or other communications, if any, specified in such application. If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series, or all Subordinated Securities, as the case may be, whose name and address appear 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 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 Subordinated Securities of such series or all Subordinated Securities, 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 Subordinated Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. (c) Each and every Holder of the Subordinated Securities, 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 registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Subordinated Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 5.02, regardless of the source 33 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).

(d) The Company and any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities each covenant and agree to furnish to the Trustee, not less than annually, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants of this Subordinated Indenture (which compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice as provided in this Subordinated Indenture). Such certificates need not comply with Section 13.03 of this Subordinated Indenture. SECTION 5.04. Reports by Trustee. (a) On or before the first July 15th following the date of execution of this Subordinated Indenture, and on or before July 15 in every year thereafter, if and so long as any Subordinated Securities are Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit to the Subordinated Securityholders as hereinafter in this Section 5.04 provided, 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 12 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; 34 (2) the creation of or any material change to a relationship specified in paragraph (1) through (10) of Section 7.08(d); (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 Subordinated Securities of any series, on any property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee, except that the Trustee shall not be required (but may elect) to state such advances if such advances so remaining unpaid aggregate not more than one-half of one percent of the principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such series Outstanding on the date of such report; (4) the amount, interest rate and maturity date of all other indebtedness owing by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities) 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 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 additional issue of Subordinated Securities which the Trustee has not previously reported; and (7) any action taken by the Trustee in the performance of its duties under this Subordinated Indenture which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Subordinated Securities, except 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 6.10. (b) The Trustee shall transmit to the Subordinated Securityholders, as hereinafter provided, 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 5.04 (or if no such report has yet been so transmitted, since the date of execution of this Subordinated Indenture), for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge prior to that of the Subordinated Securities 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, except that the Trustee shall not be required (but may elect) to report such advances if such advances remaining unpaid at any time aggregate ten percent or less of the principal amount of Subordinated Securities of such series Outstanding at such time, such report to be transmitted within 90 days after such time.

ARTICLE SIX REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT SECTION 6.01. Events of Default; Acceleration, Waiver of Default and Restoration of Position and Rights. The term "Event of Default" whenever used herein with respect to any particular series of Subordinated Securities shall mean any one of the following events: (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest on any Subordinated Security of such 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 an extension of one or more Interest Payment Dates by the Company in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default; or (b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of or any premium on any Subordinated Security of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, by proceedings for redemption, by declaration or otherwise, provided however, that an extension of the Stated Maturity for payment of principal of Subordinated Securities of such series in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default; or (c) default in the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment obligation relating to such series of Subordinated Securities, when and as such obligation shall become due and payable provided however, that an extension of the Stated Maturity for payment of any sinking fund payment with respect to Subordinated Securities of such series in accordance with the provisions of any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, shall not constitute an Event of Default; or (d) failure on the part of the Company to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on its part in the Subordinated Securities or in this Subordinated Indenture (including any Supplemental Subordinated Indenture or pursuant to any Officer's Certificate, as contemplated by Section 2.03) specifically contained for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such series, for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such series and all other series so benefited (all series voting as one class) at the time Outstanding under this Subordinated Indenture a written notice specifying such failure and stating that such is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or 36 (e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, if such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (f) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the Company's consent to the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case under any such law, or its consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or its failure generally to pay its debts as they become due or the taking by the Company of any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or (g) any other Event of Default provided in the Officer's Certificate or Supplemental Subordinated Indenture under which such series of Subordinated is issued or in the form of Subordinated Security for such series. If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any one or more series of Outstanding Subordinated Securities, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal amount of all the Subordinated Securities of each series as to which there is an Event of Default shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Subordinated Securityholders) may declare the principal amount (or, if the Subordinated Securities of any such series are Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all the Subordinated Securities of such series, together with any accrued interest, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Subordinated Indenture or in the Subordinated Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of any series of Subordinated Securities pursuant to Section 2.03, if an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g) above with respect to all series of Subordinated Securities then Outstanding, occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Subordinated 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 of the Subordinated Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Subordinated 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) of all of the Subordinated Securities then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in 37 clause (e) or (f) above occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all of the Subordinated Securities then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (g) occurs and is continuing, which Event of Default is with respect to less than all series of Subordinated Securities then Outstanding, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series of Subordinated 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 Subordinated Securities of each such affected series then Outstanding hereunder (each such series voting as a separate class) by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of such 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 such 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. The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal amount (or, if the Subordinated Securities are Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof of the Subordinated Securities of any one or more series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of 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 Subordinated Securities of such series (or upon all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all Subordinated Securities of such series (or of any and all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by declaration (with interest on overdue installments of interest to the extent permitted by law and on such principal at the rate or rates of interest borne by, or prescribed therefor in the Subordinated Securities of such series to the date of such payment or deposit) and 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 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 the amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06 and any and all defaults under the Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such series (or all Subordinated Securities, as the case may be), other than the non- payment of principal of and any accrued interest on Subordinated Securities of such series (or any Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due by declaration shall have been cured, remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.09 -- then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) then Outstanding (such series or all series voting as one class if more than one series are so entitled) by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such rescission and annulment 38 shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. For all purposes under this Subordinated 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. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Subordinated Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such series (or of all the Subordinated Securities, as the case may be) shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 6.02. Covenant of Company to Pay to Trustee Whole Amount Due on Subordinated Securities on Default in Payment of Interest or Principal. The Company covenants that: (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Subordinated Securities of any series as and when the same shall become due and payable and which payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, 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 Subordinated Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable and which payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, whether at the Stated Maturity of such series or by any call for redemption or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise; or (c) in case default shall be made in the satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation when and as such obligation becomes due and payable and which payment has not been extended in accordance with the provisions of a Supplemental Subordinated Indenture, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such series, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Subordinated Securities of such series and such Coupons, for principal (and any premium) and interest and for any overdue sinking fund payment together with interest upon the overdue principal and installments of interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate 39 or rates of interest borne by or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities), or prescribed therefor in, the Subordinated Securities of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expense of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith. In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon such Subordinated Securities, and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Subordinated Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. If an Event of Default with respect to Subordinated Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Subordinated Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. SECTION 6.03. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Subordinated Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Subordinated Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Subordinated Securities (or, if the Subordinated Securities are Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Subordinated Securities) and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 40 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Subordinated Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 6.04. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Subordinated Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Subordinated Indenture or the Subordinated Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee to the fullest extent permitted by law without the possession of any of the Subordinated Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities, or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Securities or Coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. SECTION 6.05. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the several Subordinated Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Subordinated Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of any interest on such Subordinated Securities, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest upon the overdue installments of interest (so far as permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee at the rate or rates of interest borne by or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities) of such Subordinated Securities or prescribed therefor therein) such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Subordinated Securities in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon such Subordinated 41 Securities for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and any installments of interest (so far as permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) at the rate or rates of interest borne by or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Subordinated Securities), or prescribed therefor in, such Subordinated Securities; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such Subordinated Securities, 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 Subordinated Security over any other Subordinated Security, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, with appropriate interest to the Company or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits by Holders of Subordinated Securities. No Holder of any Subordinated Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Subordinated Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Subordinated 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 a continuing Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities 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 (including the reasonable fees of counsel for the Trustee), and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Subordinated Security or Coupon with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Subordinated Securities of any series or Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Subordinated Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Subordinated Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Subordinated Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Subordinated Securities of the applicable series and Coupons appertaining to such Subordinated Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Subordinated Indenture, the right of any Holder of any Subordinated Security or Coupon to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Subordinated Security or Coupon on or after the respective due dates expressed 42 in such Subordinated Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the date fixed for redemption), 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 6.07. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Subordinated Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Subordinated Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders. 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. SECTION 6.08. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Subordinated Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every right and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. SECTION 6.09. Control by Holders; Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of all series (voting as one class) at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that, subject to Section 7.01 the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not parties to such direction, and provided further that nothing in this Subordinated Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Holders. The Company may set a special record date for purposes of determining the identity of the Holders of Subordinated Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by this Section 6.09. Such record date shall be the later of 15 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Subordinated Indenture prior to such solicitation. 43 The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Subordinated Securities of such series waive any past Event of Default with respect to such series and its consequences (subject to Section 6.02), except a continuing Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c), or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Subordinated Indenture which under Article Ten cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Subordinated Security so affected. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and such Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured and not continuing for every purpose of this Subordinated Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 6.10. Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to it, but May Withhold in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee (i) if any Unregistered Subordinated 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 4.09, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg) and (ii) to all Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, unless in each case such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term "default" 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 Subordinated 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 Subordinated Securityholders of such series. SECTION 6.11. Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits Under the Subordinated Indenture or Against the Trustee. All parties to this Subordinated Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Subordinated Security by such Holder's 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 Subordinated 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 6.11 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Subordinated Securities of any series, or group of such Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of such series Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any interest or premium on any Subordinated 44 Security, on or after the due date expressed in such Subordinated Security or for such interest (or in the case of any redemption, on or after the dated fixed for redemption). SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay, or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereinafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that they will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. ARTICLE SEVEN CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Subordinated Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured, remedied or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Subordinated 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 or her own affairs. No provision of this Subordinated 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, provided, however, that: (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waving of all Events of Default which may have occurred: (1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Subordinated Indenture and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Subordinated Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Subordinated Indenture against the Trustee; and (2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the 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 Subordinated 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 Subordinated Indenture; 45 (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Subordinated Securities pursuant to Section 6.09 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 Subordinated Indenture. None of the provisions contained in this Subordinated 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 hereunder 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 adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. 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, debenture, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer's Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof shall be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a Board Resolution; (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, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such written advice or Opinion of Counsel; (d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Subordinated Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Subordinated Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture, unless such Subordinated Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Subordinated 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, debenture, note or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of Subordinated Securities pursuant to Section 6.09; provided, 46 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 Subordinated Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to such proceeding; and provided further, that nothing in this subsection (f) shall require the Trustee to give the Subordinated Securityholders any notice other than that required by Section 6.10. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Company upon demand; (g) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; and (h) The Trustee shall be under no responsibility for the approval by it in good faith of any expert for any of the purposes expressed in this Subordinated Indenture. SECTION 7.03. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Application of Proceeds. The recitals contained herein and in the Subordinated Securities (other than the certificate of authentication on the Subordinated Securities) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Subordinated Indenture or of the Subordinated Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Subordinated Securities or of the proceeds thereof. SECTION 7.04. Trustee May Own Subordinated Securities or Coupons. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, registrar or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Subordinated Securities or Coupons with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, registrar or such other agent. SECTION 7.05. Moneys Received by Trustee to be Held in Trust. Moneys held by the Trustee in trust 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 money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. SECTION 7.06. Trustee Entitled to Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnity. The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of any express trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection with the acceptance or administration of its trust under this Subordinated 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 agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the 47 part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee, to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances and to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Subordinated Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Subordinated Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of or interest or redemption premium on particular Subordinated Securities. SECTION 7.07. Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer's Certificate Where No Other Evidence Specifically Prescribed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, 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 of the Company delivered to the Trustee, and such Officer's 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 Subordinated Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 7.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interest. (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section 7.08, it shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, and if the Event of Default to which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured or duly waived or otherwise eliminated before the end of such 90-day period, the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08, resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10, such resignation to become effective upon the appointment of a successor trustee and such successor's acceptance of such appointment, and the Company shall take prompt steps to appoint a successor in accordance with Section 7.10. (b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.08, the Trustee shall, within ten days after the expiration of such 90-day period, transmit notice of such failure to the Subordinated Securityholders in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of said Section 5.04. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.11 of this Subordinated Indenture, unless the Trustee's duty to resign is stayed as provided in subsection (f) of this Section 7.08, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of Subordinated Securities for at least six months may, on such Holder's behalf and on behalf of all other Holders similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor, if such Trustee fails after written request thereof by such Holder to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.08. (d) For the purposes of this Section 7.08 the Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any series if an Event of 48 Default (exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice) has occurred with respect to Subordinated Securities of such series and: (1) the Trustee is trustee under another indenture under which any other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any other securities, of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities are outstanding or is trustee for more than one outstanding series of securities, as hereinafter defined, under a single indenture of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, unless such other indenture is a collateral trust indenture under which the only collateral consists of Subordinated Securities issued under this Subordinated Indenture, provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of this paragraph, this Subordinated Indenture with respect to the Subordinated Securities of any other series Outstanding, and any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities are outstanding, if (A) this Subordinated Indenture is and such other indenture or indentures (and all series of securities issued 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 the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such series and one or more other series, or the provisions of this Subordinated 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 Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such series and such other series, or under this Subordinated Indenture and such other indenture or indentures, or (B) 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 Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such series and such other series, or under this Subordinated Indenture and such other indenture, 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 Subordinated Indenture with respect to Subordinated Securities of such series and such other series, or under this Subordinated Indenture and one of such indentures; (2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; (3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; (4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee or representative of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, or of an underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for the Company or any other obligor on the 49 Subordinated Securities 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 or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, but may not be at the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; (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 or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; and (C) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent or depositary, or in any other similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection (d), to act as trustee whether under an indenture or otherwise; (5) ten percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities 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 ten percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities 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 defined, (A) five percent or more of the voting securities, or ten percent or more of any other class of security, of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities, not including the Subordinated Securities issued under this Subordinated Indenture and securities issued under any other indenture under which the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) ten percent or more of any class of security of an underwriter for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; (7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, as hereinafter defined, five percent or more of the voting securities of any Person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns ten percent or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; (8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, as hereinafter defined, ten percent 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 or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; (9) the Trustee owns on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice) or any anniversary thereof while such Event of Default 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 conflicting interest under paragraph (6), (7) or (8) of this subsection (d). As to any such securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary trustee of an estate which included them, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not 50 apply, for a period of two years from the date of such acquisition, to the extent that such securities included in such estate do not exceed 25% of such voting securities or 25% of any such class of security. Promptly after the date of the occurrence of any such Event of Default and annually in each succeeding year that the Subordinated Securities or any series thereof remain in default, the Trustee shall make a check of its holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of such date. If the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities fails to make payment in full of principal of or interest on any of the Subordinated Securities when and as the same become due and payable and such failure continues for 30 days thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of its holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the expiration of such 30-day period, and after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (9), all such securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure shall continue, be considered as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7) and (8) of this subsection (d); or (10) except under the circumstances described in paragraphs (1), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of Section 7.13(b), the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities. The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this subsection (d) shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such percentages of the securities of a Person is or is not necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (d). For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subsection (d) 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 an obligation which is not in default as defined in clause (B) above, or (ii) any security which it holds as collateral security under this Subordinated 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. (e) For the purposes of this Section 7.08: (1) The term "underwriter" when used with reference to the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities shall mean every Person who, within one year prior to the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased from the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities with a view to, or has offered or sold for the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in connection with, the distribution of any security of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities outstanding at such time, or has participated or has had a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of 51 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 director of a Company or any individual performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated. (3) 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 "executive officer" shall mean the president, every vice-president, every trust officer, the cashier, the secretary and the treasurer of a Company, and any individual customarily performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated, but shall not include the chairman of the board of directors.

(7) For the purpose of subsection (d)(1) of this Section 7.08, the term "series of securities" or "series" 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 unsecured. The percentages of voting securities and other securities specified in this Section shall be calculated in accordance with the following provisions: (A) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the Trustee, the Company or any other Person referred to in this Section 7.08 (each of whom is referred to as a "Person" in this paragraph) means such amount of the outstanding voting securities of such Person as entitles the Holder or Holders 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. 52 (B) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a Person means such percentage of the aggregate amount of securities of the class outstanding. (C) 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. (D) 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) Subordinated Securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to securities of the issuer of the same class; (ii) Subordinated 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) Subordinated 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) Subordinated 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. (E) 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 rate 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 interest on any Subordinated Securities, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment, the Trustee shall not be required to resign as provided by this Section 7.08 if the Trustee shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that (i) the default under this Subordinated 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 Holders of such series of Subordinated Securities. 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 appointment. 53 SECTION 7.09. Requirements for Eligibility of Trustee. There shall always be at least one Trustee hereunder. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a Company organized and doing business as a commercial bank under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or of the District of Columbia or a Company or other Person permitted to act as a trustee by the Commission and, in each case, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having (or, in the case of a subsidiary of a bank holding company, its bank holding company parent shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such Company or bank holding company parent 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 Company or bank holding company parent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. No obligor on the Subordinated Securities or Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article Seven. SECTION 7.10. Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor. (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 Subordinated Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Company and (i) if any Unregistered Subordinated 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 4.09, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered Subordinated 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 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 Company 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 Subordinated Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Subordinated Security or Subordinated 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: (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 Subordinated 54 Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of the applicable series 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 Subordinated Securityholder; or (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or (4) the Company shall determine that the Trustee has failed to perform its obligations under this Subordinated Indenture in any material respect, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by an authorized officer of the Company, 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 6.11, any Subordinated Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities of the affected series for at least six months may, on such Person's behalf and on behalf of 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 principal amount of the Subordinated Securities Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, or by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of a meeting of the Subordinated Securityholders evidencing the vote upon a resolution or resolutions submitted thereto with respect to such removal and appointment (as provided in Article Nine), and by delivery thereof to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee and to the Company. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. SECTION 7.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers with respect to the trustee so 55 ceasing to act. Upon written request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.11, the Company shall give notice thereof (a) if any Unregistered Subordinated 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 3.09, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (b) if any Unregistered Subordinated 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, 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 Company for such purpose) and (c) to the Holders of Registered Subordinated 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 7.10. If the Company 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 Company. SECTION 7.12. Successor to Trustee by Merger, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Company succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of the trust created by this Indenture), shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Company 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 at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Subordinated Indenture any of the Subordinated Securities 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 Subordinated Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Subordinated Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Subordinated Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Subordinated Securities or in this Subordinated Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate 56 Subordinated Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 7.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 7.13, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities within three months prior to a default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the Holders of the Subordinated Securities for which it is acting as Trustee, and the holders of other indenture securities (as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13): (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 or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities 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 or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities upon the date of such default; and (2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claims as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such 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 or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities and their respective 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 or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities) 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 or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State laws; (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 57 cause to believe that a default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13, 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 preexisting claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such preexisting claim. If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned among the Trustee, the Holders of Subordinated Securities for which it is acting as Trustee, and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company or such other obligor on the Subordinated Securities in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall include any distribution with respect to such claim in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities or other property, but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceeding for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion among the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee, such Subordinated Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claim, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula. 58 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. In every case commenced under the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, or any amendment thereto enacted prior to November 6, 1978, all references to periods of three months shall be deemed to be references to periods of four months. (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this Section 7.13 a creditor relationship arising from: (1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee; (2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, or by this Subordinated Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property which shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Subordinated 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 Subordinated Securityholders at the time and in the manner provided in Section 5.04(c) with respect to reports pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) thereof, respectively; (3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar capacity; (4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises rented, or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13; (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 any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities; and (6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which fall within the classification of self-liquidating paper as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13. 59 (c) As used in this Section 7.13 the following terms shall be accorded the following definitions: (1) the term "default" shall mean any failure to make payment in full of the principal of or interest on any of the Subordinated Securities or on the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and payable. (2) the term "other indenture securities" shall mean securities upon which the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities 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 7.13, and (C) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property held in said special account. (3) the term "cash transaction" shall mean any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand. (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 or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities 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 or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation. SECTION 7.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. As long as any Subordinated Securities of a series remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, by an instrument in writing, appoint with the approval of the Company an authenticating agent (the "Authenticating Agent") which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Subordinated Securities, including Subordinated Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or pursuant to Section 2.09. Subordinated Securities of each such series authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Subordinated Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee. Whenever reference is made in this Subordinated Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Subordinated 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 $45,000,000 (determined as (or in the case of a subsidiary of a bank holding company, its bank holding company parent shall have) provided in 60 Section 7.09 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 (including the agency contemplated by this Indenture) 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 Subordinated 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 Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case in any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.14 with respect to one or more series of Subordinated Securities, the Trustee shall upon receipt of a Company Order appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and the Company shall provide notice of such appointment to all Holders of Subordinated Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 13.02. 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 Company agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for such series from time to time reasonable compensation. The Authenticating Agent for the Subordinated Securities of any series shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. If an appointment is made with respect to one or more series pursuant to this Section, the Subordinated Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication substantially in the following form: This is one of the Subordinated Securities described in the within-mentioned Subordinated Indenture. State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trustee By _______________________________________ As Authenticating Agent By _______________________________________ Authorized Signatory Sections 7.02, 7.03, 7.04, 7.06 and 8.03 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent. 61 ARTICLE EIGHT CONCERNING THE SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS SECTION 8.01. Evidence of Action by Subordinated Securityholders. Whenever in this Subordinated Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Subordinated Securityholders in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such Holders of Subordinated Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Subordinated Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Subordinated Securityholders. SECTION 8.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Subordinated Securities. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Subordinated Securityholder or such Holder's agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Subordinated Securities 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 Subordinated Securities of any series (including Registered Global Subordinated Securities) shall be proved by the Register of such Subordinated Securities of such series, or by certificates of the Subordinated Security registrar or registrars thereof. The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any Person as a Subordinated Securityholder unless and until such Person's title to the Subordinated Securities held by it is proved in the manner in this Article Eight provided. The record of any Subordinated Securityholders' meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06. The Trustee may accept such other proof or require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem reasonable. SECTION 8.03. Who May be Deemed Owners of Subordinated Securities. Prior to due presentment for transfer of any Subordinated Security, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Subordinated Security shall be registered upon the Register of Subordinated Securities of the series of which such Subordinated Security is a part as the absolute owner of such Subordinated Security (whether or not such Subordinated 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 interest, subject to the provisions of this Subordinated Indenture, on such 62 Subordinated Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon such Holder's order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability of moneys payable upon any such Subordinated Security. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Subordinated Security and the Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Subordinated Security or Coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Subordinated 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 Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company 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 Subordinated Security or Coupon. If the Subordinated Securities of any series are issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Subordinated Securities, the Depository therefor may grant proxies to Persons having a beneficial ownership in such Registered Global Subordinated Security or Subordinated Securities for purposes of voting or otherwise responding to any request for consent, waiver or other action which the Holder of such Registered Subordinated Security is entitled to grant or take under this Subordinated Indenture and the Trustee shall accept such proxies for the purposes granted; provided that neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any obligation with respect to the grant of or solicitation by the Depository of such proxies. SECTION 8.04. Subordinated Securities Owned by the Company or Controlled or Controlling Persons Disregarded for Certain Purposes. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Subordinated Securities have concurred in any demand, direction, request, notice, vote, consent, waiver or other action under this Subordinated Indenture, Subordinated Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such demand, direction, request, notice, vote, consent, waiver or other action, only Subordinated Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to its principal office knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Subordinated Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Subordinated Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer's Certificate listing and identifying all Subordinated Securities, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any other obligor on the Subordinated Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the 63 Subordinated Securities; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, 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 Subordinated Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. SECTION 8.05. Instruments Executed by Subordinated Securityholders Bind Future Holders. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities specified in this Subordinated Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Subordinated Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Subordinated Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Subordinated Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Subordinated Security and any direction, demand, request, notice, waiver, consent, vote or other action of the Holder of any Subordinated Security which by any provisions of this Subordinated Indenture is required or permitted to be given shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Subordinated Security, and of any Subordinated Security issued in lieu thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Subordinated Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any or all series specified in this Subordinated Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all of the Subordinated Securities of such series subject, however, to the provisions of Section 7.01. ARTICLE NINE SUBORDINATED SECURITYHOLDERS' MEETINGS SECTION 9.01. Purposes for Which Meetings May be Called. A meeting of Holders of Subordinated Securities of any or all series may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Article for any of the following purposes: (a) to give any notice to the Company or to the Trustee, or to give any directions to the Trustee, or to consent to the waiving of any default hereunder and its consequences, or to take any other action authorized to be taken by Holders of Subordinated Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, pursuant to any of the provisions of Article Six; (b) to remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven; (c) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02; or (d) to take any other action authorized to be taken by or on behalf of the Holders of any specified principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any or all series, 64 as the case may be, under any other provision of this Subordinated Indenture or under applicable law.

The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Subordinated Securityholders to take any action specified in Section 9.01, to be held at such time and at such place in The City of New York, New York, as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Subordinated Securityholders, setting forth the time and place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be mailed not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting. SECTION 9.03. Call of Meeting by the Company or Subordinated Securityholders. In case at any time the Company pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, or the Holders of not less than ten percent in principal amount of the Subordinated Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, then Outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders of Subordinated Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, to take any action authorized in Section 9.01 by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders of Subordinated Securities in the amount above specified may determine the time and place in either the City and County of Los Angeles, California or The City of New York, New York for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 9.01, by mailing (and publishing, if required) notice thereof as provided in Section 9.02.
