WHEREAS, the Company, pursuant to the foregoing authority, proposes in and by this First Supplemental Indenture to amend the Indenture in certain respects with respect to the Securities of any and all series issued on or after the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, all things necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company and the Trustee and a valid amendment of and supplement to the Indenture have been done.

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Securities by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities of any and all series established on or after the date hereof, as follows:

 

1


ARTICLE ONE

Section 1.1.    Definitions. Section 101 of the Indenture is hereby amended by:

(i)    replacing the definition of “Euro-clear” with the following:

“Euroclear Operator” means Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels Office, as the operator of the Euroclear System.

(ii)    adding the following definition:

“Restricted Period” has the meaning given to it in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(7).

Section 1.2.    Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series. Clause (15) of Section 301 of the Indenture is hereby amended to read as follows:

(15) any limitation on the application of either or both of Sections 1402 and 1403 to the Securities of the series;

Section 1.3.    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. Section 303 of the Indenture is hereby amended by:

(i)    amending the third paragraph thereof to read as follows:

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions

from the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series; provided further, however, that, in connection with its sale during the Restricted Period, no Euro-Security shall be delivered to any location in the United States or its possessions; and provided further, however, that a Euro-Security (other than a Security in temporary global form) may be delivered in connection with its sale during the Restricted Period only if, on the earlier of the date of such delivery or the first actual payment of interest by the Company on the Euro-Security, (x) the Person entitled to physical delivery of such Euro-Security (which, in the case of a Euro-Security to be received in exchange for all or a portion of a Security in temporary global form, shall be the account holder with the Euroclear Operator or Cedel S.A. to whose account all or such portion of such Security in temporary global form has been credited) shall have furnished a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit G.1 to this Indenture, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the date on which such Euro-Security is delivered or, in the case of a Euro-Security to be received in exchange for all or a portion of a temporary global Security, no earlier than 15 days prior to the date on which the Euroclear Operator or Cedel S.A., as the case may be, furnish to the Common Depositary, in accordance with the procedures established in Section 304, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit G.2 to this Indenture that relates to all or such portion of such temporary global Security, and (y) the Company does not know or have reason to know that the information contained in such certificate is false. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary global Security shall be deemed to be physical delivery in connection with its sale during the Restricted Period. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled.

(ii)    amending clause (c) of the fourth paragraph thereof to read as follows:

(c) that such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and by general equity principles, and except further as enforcement thereof may be limited by (A) requirements that a claim with respect to any Securities denominated other than in U.S. dollars (or a foreign currency or foreign currency unit judgment in respect of such claim) be converted into United States dollars at a rate of exchange prevailing on a date determined pursuant to applicable law or (B) governmental authority to limit, delay or prohibit the making of payments in foreign currency or currency units or payments outside the United States.

4

Section 1.6.    Security Forms. The Security Forms attached as Exhibits to the Indenture are hereby amended by:

This temporary global Security shall be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part for (i) a permanent global Security of this series, without interest coupons, (ii) definitive Bearer Securities of this series [If the temporary global security is interest-bearing, insert—, with interest coupons attached] [If the temporary global Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert—without interest coupons], (iii) definitive Registered Securities of this series, without interest coupons, or (iv) a combination of the foregoing, provided that the permanent global Security or the definitive Securities so issued in exchange for this temporary global Security shall be in authorized denominations and be of like tenor and of an equal aggregate principal amount as the portion of this temporary global Security to be exchanged, and provided further that, unless the Company agrees otherwise, definitive Bearer Securities of this series or definitive Registered Securities of this series will be issued in exchange for this temporary global Security, or any portion hereof, only if prior to the issuance of this temporary global Security, such definitive Bearer Securities or definitive Registered Securities were requested by written notice to the London office of the Security Registrar and the London office of a
