Section 1.4. Acts of Holders.
-------------------------------
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Indenture to be given to or taken by Holders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in
writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments is or are delivered to the
Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by
the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take
acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument
or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by
a Person acting in other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
11
(c) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument
or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be
proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance
with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.
(d) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Securities
Register.
(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of
the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the transfer
thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done
or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.
(f) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to
give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph
shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders,
shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date, provided that no such action shall be
effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date
(as hereinafter in this Section 1.4(f) provided) by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting
a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set
pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect),
and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any
action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly
after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own
expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders
and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to
each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6.
The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining
the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the
giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of
acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in
Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date, provided that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
12
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record
date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to
this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and
with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall cause
notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.
With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party
hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the "Expiration
Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or
later day, provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the
proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and
to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 10.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date
is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section,
the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially
designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with
respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided
in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be
later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.
(g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any
action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to
all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly
appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with
regard to all or any part of such principal amount.
Section 1.5. Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company.
----------------------------------------------------
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,
(1) the Trustee by any Holder, any holder of Capital Securities or the
Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office, or
(2) the Company by the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Capital
Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as otherwise provided
in Section 5.1) hereunder if in writing and mailed, first class, postage
prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office

Section 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.
-----------------------------------------
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected
by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. In case, by reason of
the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other
reason, it shall be impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to
Holders when said notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of
this Indenture or of the relevant Securities, then any manner of giving such
notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a
sufficient giving of such notice. Where this Indenture provides for notice in
any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
Section 1.7. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.
-------------------------------------------------
If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with the
duties imposed by any of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture
Act through operation of Section 318(c) thereof, such imposed duties shall
control. This Indenture, the Company and the Trustee shall be deemed for all
purposes hereof to be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act to the
same extent as would be the case if this Indenture were so qualified on the date
hereof.

from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity,
as the case may be, until such next succeeding Business Day) except that, if

required to give notice to any applicable self-regulatory organization or to
holders of such Capital Securities of the record date and (iii) the date such
Distributions are payable, but in any event not less than one Business Day prior
to such record date].
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this
Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose in the United States, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts [if applicable, insert - ;provided, however, that at the option of
the Company payment of interest may be made (i) by check mailed to the address
of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Securities
Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place
and to such account as may be designated by the Person entitled thereto as
specified in the Securities Register].
The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in
the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payments to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Security is issued subject to the
provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security,
by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b)
authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c)
appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each
Holder hereof, by his acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of
the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each
holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred,
and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly

Section 3.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman
of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice
Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced or impressed thereon and
attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or
28
any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Securities. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery
of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series 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. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been
established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by
Sections 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities,
the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,
(1) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to
Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.1, that such form has been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(2) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant
to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1, that such terms have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and
(3) that such Securities, 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 to general equity principles.
If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered
at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security
of such series to be issued.
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
29
signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for can
cellation as provided in Section 3.10, for all purposes of this Indenture such
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 3.4. Temporary Securities.
------------------------------------
Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company
may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of such series in lieu
of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall
be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary
Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose
without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor one or more
definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations having
the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as
such temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.
Section 3.5. Global Securities.
-------------------------------
(a) Each Global Security issued under this Agreement shall be registered in
the name of the Depository designated by the Company for such Global Security or
a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depository or a nominee thereof or
custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single
Security for all purposes of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no Global
Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no
transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name
of any Person other than the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee
thereof unless (a) such Depository advises the Trustee in writing that such
Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository with respect to such Global Security, and the
Company is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Company executes and
delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that the Company elects to
30
terminate the book-entry system through the Depository, or (c) there shall have
occurred and be continuing an Event of Default.
(c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or
cancelled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depository or
its nominee to the Security Registrar for exchange or cancellation as provided
in this Article III. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other
Securities or cancelled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in
whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, then either
(i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as
provided in this Article III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be
reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so
exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security
to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by
means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Security
Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures,
shall instruct the Depository or its authorized representative to make a
corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment
of a Global Security by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 3.5(b) and as otherwise
provided in this Article III, authenticate and make available for delivery any
Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion
thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depository. The Trustee
shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such
instructions.
(d) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion
thereof, whether pursuant to this Article III, Section 9.6 or 11.6 or otherwise,
shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than
the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.
(e) The Depository or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global
Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under
this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a
Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.
Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be
shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through,
records maintained by the Depository or its nominee or its Agent Members.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in
respect of any transfers effected by the Depository.
(f) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall
be exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depository and/or
its Agent Members.

Section 3.6. Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally, Certain
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfers and Exchanges; Securities Act Legends.
- ------------------------------------------------
(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of
transfers of Securities. Such register is herein sometimes referred to as the
"Securities Register." The Trustee is hereby appointed "Securities Registrar"
for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office
or agency of the Company designated for that purpose the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the
same series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal
amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same
terms and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.
At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other
Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity
and having the same terms and bearing such restrictive legends as may be
required by this Indenture, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at
such office or agency. 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 issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be
the 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.
Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if
so required by the Company or the Securities Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange 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 connection with any
transfer or exchange of Securities.
Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, (a) to issue, transfer or exchange any Security of
any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
the day of selection for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article XI and
ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of notice of redemption or
(b) to transfer or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, any portion
thereof not to be redeemed.
32
(b) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision of
-------------------------------
this Indenture, transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests
in a Global Security of the kinds specified in this Section 3.6(b) shall be made
only in accordance with this Section 3.6(b).
(i) Restricted Non-Global Security to Global Security. If the Holder
-------------------------------------------------
of a Restricted Security (other than a Global Security) wishes at any time to
transfer all or any portion of such Security to a Person who wishes to take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, such
transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause
(b)(i) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Security
Registrar of (A) such Security as provided in Section 3.6(a) and written
instructions satisfactory to the Security Registrar directing that a beneficial
interest in the Global Security in a specified principal amount not greater than
the principal amount of such Security be credited to a specified Agent Member's
account and (B) a Restricted Securities Certificate duly executed by such Holder
or his attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Security Registrar shall
cancel such Security (and issue a new Security in respect of any untransferred
portion thereof) as provided in Section 3.6(a) and increase the aggregate
principal amount of the Global Security by the specified principal amount as
provided as provided in Section 3.5(c).
(ii) Non-Global Security to Non-Global Security. A Security that is
------------------------------------------
not a Global Security may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who
takes delivery in the form of another Security that is not a Global Security as
provided in Section 3.6(a), provided that if the Security to be transferred in
whole or in part is a Restricted Security, then the Security Registrar shall
have received a Restricted Securities Certificate duly executed by the
transferor Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(iii) Exchanges between Global Security and Non-Global Security. A
---------------------------------------------------------
beneficial interest in a Global Security may be exchanged for a Security that is
not a Global Security as provided in Section 3.5.
(iv) Certain Initial Transfers of Non-Global Securities. In the case
--------------------------------------------------
of Securities initially issued other than in global form, an initial transfer or
exchange of such Securities that does not involve any change in beneficial
ownership may be made to an Institutional Accredited Investor or Investors as if
such transfer or exchange were not an initial transfer or exchange; provided
that written certification shall be provided by a Holder of such Securities to
the Securities Registrar that such transfer or exchange does not involve a
change in beneficial ownership.
(c) Restricted Securities Legend. Except as set forth below, all
----------------------------
Securities shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend:
(i) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.6(c), a
Security or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise,
for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Restricted
Securities Legend;
33
(ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.6(c), a new
Security which is not a Global Security and is issued in exchange for another
Security (including a Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or
otherwise, shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend;
(iii) after the date which is three years following the Original Issue
Date of a Security, a new Security (other than a Global Security) which does not
bear a Restricted Securities Legend shall, unless the Securities Registrar is
otherwise instructed by the Company in writing, be issued in exchange for or in
lieu of a Restricted Security or any portion thereof which bears such a legend
if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate, in the form
of Exhibit E hereto, duly executed by the Holder of such legended Restricted
Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and
receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such a
new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Security as provided in
this Article III;
(iv) any Securities issued pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act in exchange for Outstanding Securities and
any Securities which are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act (including a shelf registration
statement), together with their Successor Securities shall not bear a Restricted
Securities Legend; the Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the
effective date of any such registration statement registering Securities under
the Securities Act and shall notify the Trustee at any time when prospectuses
may not be delivered with respect to Securities to be sold pursuant to such
registration statement;
(v) a new Security (other than a Global Security) which does not bear
a Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a
Restricted Security or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if, in the
Company's judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not
necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company in the
form of an Officers' Certificate, shall authenticate and deliver such a new
Security as provided in this Article III;
(vi) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6(c),
a Successor Security of a Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities
Legend shall not bear such form of legend unless the Company has reasonable
cause to believe that such Successor Security is a "restricted security" within
the meaning of Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the written direction of
the Company in the form of an Officer's Certificate, shall authenticate and
deliver a new Security bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for
such Successor Security as provided in this Article III; and
(vii) Securities distributed to a holder of Capital Securities upon
dissolution of a PMI Trust shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend if the
Capital Securities so held bear a similar legend.
34
Section 3.7. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.
----------------------------------------------------------------
If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such
security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save
each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same issue
and series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same Original Issue
Date and Stated Maturity, and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such
Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute
and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security
of the same issue and series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same
Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity as such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
Section 3.8. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Interest on any Security of any series which is payable, and is punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, shall be paid to the
Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest
in respect of Securities of such series, except that, unless otherwise provided
in the Securities of such series, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the
principal of a Security shall
35
be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest
on any Security of any series which is issued between a Regular Record Date and
the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security
or in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the related
series of Securities.
Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not timely paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series
(herein called "Defaulted Interest"), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been
such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest 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 to the
Persons in whose names the Securities of such series in respect of which
interest is in default (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, and
at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as
in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days
and not 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 the address of such Holder as it appears in the
Securities Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The
Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
cause a similar notice to be published at least once in a newspaper, customarily
published in the English language on each Business Day and of general
circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such
publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of 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 (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such
Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
Clause (2).
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange
on which the Securities of the series in respect of which interest is in default
may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange (or by
the Trustee if the Securities are not listed), if, after notice given by the
36
Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such
payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security
delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of
any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, which were carried by such other Security.
Section 3.9. Persons Deemed Owners.
-------------------------------------
The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to
Section 3.8) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.
No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its
behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect
to such Global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global
Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the
Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by a Depository or impair, as between a Depository and
such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of the Depository (or its nominee) as
Holder of any Security.
Section 3.10. Cancellation.
-----------------------------
All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the
Trustee, and any such Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the
Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may
at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by
the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture.
Section 3.11. Computation of Interest.
----------------------------------------
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities
of any series, interest on the Securities of each series for any partial period
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the
actual days elapsed in a partial month in such period, and interest on the
Securities of each series for a full period shall be computed by dividing the
rate per annum by the number of interest periods that together constitute a full
twelve months.
37
Section 3.12. Deferrals of Interest Payment Dates.
----------------------------------------------------
If specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 or Section 3.1 with respect to
the Securities of a particular series, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time during
the term of such series, from time to time to defer the payment of interest on
such Securities for such period or periods as may be specified as contemplated
by Section 3.1 (each, an "Extension Period") during which Extension Periods the
Company shall have the right to make partial payments of interest on any
Interest Payment Date. No Extension Period shall end on a date other than an
Interest Payment Date. At the end of any such Extension Period the Company shall
pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the Securities (together with
Additional Interest thereon, if any, at the rate specified for the Securities of
such series to the extent permitted by applicable law); provided, however, that
no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of
the Securities of such series; provided, further, that during any such Extension
Period, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, (i)
declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire
or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's capital
stock, or (ii) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or
repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari
passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Securities of such
series or (iii) make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the
Company of the debt securities of any Subsidiary of the Company if such
guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the Securities of such
series (other than (a) dividends or distributions in Common Stock, (b) any
declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a Rights
Plan, or the issuance of any Common Stock of any class or series of preferred
stock of the Company under any Rights Plan in the future, or the redemption or
repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, (c) payments under any PMI
Guarantee, (d) purchases of Common Stock related to the issuance of Common Stock
or rights under any of the Company's or its subsidiaries' benefit plans for
their directors, officers or employees and (e) purchases of fractional interests
of Common Stock in connection with a stock split, stock dividend or a similar
reclassification or combination). Prior to the termination of any such Extension
Period, the Company may further extend the interest payment period, provided
that no Extension Period shall exceed the period or periods specified in such
Securities or extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of such
Securities. Upon the termination of any Extension Period and upon the payment of
all amounts then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to
begin a new Extension Period, subject to the above requirements. No interest
shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, subject to the above
requirements, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been
due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest as
and to the extent as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. The
Company shall give the Holders of the Securities of such series and the Trustee
notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period at least one Business
Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which interest on
Securities of such series would be payable but for such deferral or, with
respect to any Securities of a series issued to PMI Trust, so long as any such
Securities are held by such PMI Trust, at least one Business Day prior to the
earlier of (i) the date the Distributions on the Capital Securities of such PMI
Trust would have been payable but for such deferral, (ii) the date the Property
Trustee of such PMI Trust is required to give notice to any applicable
self-
38
regulatory organization or to holders of such Capital Securities of the
record date and (iii) the date such Distributions are payable, but in any event
not less than one Business Day prior to such record date.
The Trustee shall promptly give notice of the Company's election to begin
any such Extension Period to the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such
series.
Section 3.13. Right of Set-Off.
---------------------------------
With respect to the Securities of a series issued to a PMI Trust,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have the
right to set-off any payment it is otherwise required to make thereunder in
respect of any such Security to the extent the Company has theretofore made, or
is concurrently on the date of such payment making, a payment under the PMI
Guarantee relating to such Security or under Section 5.8 hereof.
Section 3.14. Agreed Tax Treatment.
-------------------------------------
Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its
acceptance of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and
any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, such Security agree that for
United States Federal, state and local tax purposes it is intended that such
Security constitutes indebtedness.
Section 3.15. CUSIP Numbers.
------------------------------
The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices
of redemption or other related material as a convenience to Holders; provided
that any such notice or other related material may state that no representation
is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the
Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or other related material
and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of
any change in the CUSIP number.
Section 3.16. References to Interest.
---------------------------------------
Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or in respect of, any
Security of any series that is issued in connection with, and subject to the
benefits of, any registration rights agreement, such mention shall be deemed to
include mention of the payment of registration default interest or any other
liquidated damages specified in such registration rights agreement to the extent
that, in such context, such registration default interest or other liquidated
damages is, was or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the
provisions of such registration rights agreement and express mention of the
payment of registration default interest or other liquidated damages (if
applicable) in any provision hereof shall
39
not be construed as excluding registration default interest or other liquidated
damages in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money

(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and interest for the payment of which such money or obligations have been
deposited with or received by the Trustee.

Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or

series) of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately,
by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders),
provided that, in the case of the Securities of a series issued to a PMI Trust,
if, upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series fail to declare
the principal of all the Securities of that series to be immediately due and
payable, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined
in the related Trust Agreement) of the corresponding series of Capital
Securities then outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the
Company and the Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or
specified portion thereof) of and the accrued interest (including any Additional
Interest) on all the Securities of such series shall become immediately due and
payable. Payment of principal and interest (including any Additional Interest)
on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article
XIII notwithstanding that such amount shall become immediately due and payable
as herein provided. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(4) or 5.1(5)
with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the
principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if the Securities of
that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of
such Securities as may be specified by the terms of that series) shall
automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient
to pay:
(A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional
Interest) on all Securities of that series,
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that
series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration
and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities, and
(C) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel; and
(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other
than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which has
become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 5.13.
In the case of Securities of a series issued to a PMI Trust, the holders of
a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the related Trust
Agreement) of the related series of Capital
43
Securities issued by such PMI Trust shall also have the right to rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences by written notice to the Company and
the Trustee, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Clauses
(1) and (2) above of this Section 5.2.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
Section 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement
-------------------------------------------------------------------
by Trustee.
- ----------
The Company covenants that if:
(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest
(including any Additional Interest) on any Security when such interest becomes
due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable
on such Securities for principal, including any sinking fund payment or
analogous obligations (and premium, if any) and interest (including any
Additional Interest); and, in addition thereto, all amounts owing the Trustee
under Section 6.7.
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a
judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of
the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever
situated.
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 5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
------------------------------------------------
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
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,
44
(a) 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 (and premium, if any) or
interest (including any Additional Interest)) shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and
premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) owing and
unpaid in respect to the Securities and to file such other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable and to take any and all actions as are
authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have the claims of the
Holders and any predecessor to the Trustee under Section 6.7 allowed in any such
judicial proceedings; and
(ii) in particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and
receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims
and to distribute the same in accordance with Section 5.6; and
(b) 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 for distribution in
accordance with Section 5.6, 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 to it and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.7.
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; provided, however,
that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or
other similar committee.
Section 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claim Without Possession of Securities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may
be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
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 all the amounts owing the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee
under Section 6.7, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the
Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
Section 5.6. Application of Money Collected.
----------------------------------------------
Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with
respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article shall be applied in
the following order, at the date or dates fixed
45
by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on
account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional
Interest), upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the
payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee under Section 6.7;
SECOND: Subject to Article XIII, to the payment of the amounts then due and
unpaid upon such series of Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and
interest (including any Additional Interest), in respect of which or for the
benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such series of
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any
Additional Interest), respectively; and
THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.
Section 5.7. Limitation on Suits.
-----------------------------------
No Holder of any Securities of any series shall have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other
similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a
continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;
(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as
Trustee hereunder;
(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with
such request;
(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to
the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;
it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have
any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders of Securities, or to obtain or to seek to obtain
46
priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and
ratable benefit of all such Holders.
Section 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
and Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Capital Securities.
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.8
and 3.12) interest (including any Additional Interest) on such Security on the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of
any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of
such Holder. In the case of Securities of a series issued to a PMI Trust, any
holder of the corresponding series of Capital Securities issued by such PMI
Trust shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described
in Section 5.1(1) or 5.1(2), to institute a suit directly against the Company
for enforcement of payment to such holder of principal of (premium, if any) and
(subject to Sections 3.8 and 3.12) interest (including any Additional Interest)
on the Securities having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation
Amount (as defined in the related Trust Agreement) of such Capital Securities of
the corresponding series held by such holder.
Section 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
--------------------------------------------------
If the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Capital Securities has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture
and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has
been determined adversely to the Trustee, such Holder or such holder of Capital
Securities, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee, the Holders
and such holder of Capital Securities shall, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the
Holders and the holders of Capital Securities shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.
Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
-----------------------------------------------
Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.7, no right
or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
47
Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
---------------------------------------------
No delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Security or any
holder of any Capital Security 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.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to
the Holders and the right and remedy given to the holders of Capital Securities
by Section 5.8 may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee, the Holders or the holders of Capital Securities, as
the case may be.
Section 5.12. Control by Holders.
-----------------------------------
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of
such series, provided that:
(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture,
(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
which is not inconsistent with such direction, and
(3) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the
right to decline to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or Officers
of the Trustee shall, in good faith, determine that the proceeding so directed
would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not joining in any such direction
or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.
----------------------------------------
The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series affected thereby and, in the case of any
Securities of a series issued to a PMI Trust, the holders of a majority in
aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the related Trust Agreement) Capital
Securities issued by such PMI Trust, may waive any past default hereunder and
its consequences with respect to such series except a default:
(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on any Security of such series, or
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security of such series affected.
48
Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series or, in the case of a waiver by holders of Capital
Securities issued by such PMI Trust, by all holders of Capital Securities issued
by such PMI Trust.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.
--------------------------------------
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under
this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on any Security on or after the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Security.
Section 5.15. Waiver of Usury, 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 usury, 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 it 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 VI
THE TRUSTEE
Section 6.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
---------------------------------------------------
(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,
49
(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
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 its part, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon 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 provisions 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, but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy
of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein.
(b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act, or its own willful misconduct except that
(1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of
Subsection (a) of this Section;
(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
Holders pursuant to Section 5.12 relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect
to the Securities of such series.
(d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
(e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording
protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.
50
Section 6.2. Notice of Defaults.
----------------------------------
Within 90 days after actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee of the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of
Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Securities
Register, notice of such default, unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment
of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional
Interest) on any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided, further,
that, in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.1(3),
no such notice to Holders of Securities of such series shall be given until at
least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the
term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or
both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such
series.
Section 6.3. Certain Rights of Trustee.
-----------------------------------------
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1:
(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,

Security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of

liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction;
51
(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, direction, consent, order, bond, indenture,
Security or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion may make
such inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and,
if the Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall
be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney;
(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;
(h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Indenture; and
(i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or
unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received
by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
references the Securities and this Indenture.
Section 6.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company,
and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility
for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity
or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor
any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.
Section 6.5. May Hold Securities.
-----------------------------------
The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections
6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities
Registrar or such other agent.
52
Section 6.6. Money Held in Trust.
-----------------------------------
Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder 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 6.7. Compensation and Reimbursement.
----------------------------------------------
The Company agrees
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all
services rendered by it hereunder in such amounts as the Company and the Trustee
shall agree from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust);
(2) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith;
and
(3) to indemnify each of the Trustees or any predecessor Trustee for, and
to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel) incurred without negligence or bad faith, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the
performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligations of the
Company under this Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this Indenture
or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.
To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the Company
and the Holders agree that the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities
on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee. Such lien shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 5.1(4) or (5) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 or any successor statute.
Section 6.8. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. Nothing
herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing
53
with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph
of said Section 310(b).
Section 6.9. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.
-------------------------------------------------------
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be
(a) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to
supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of
Columbia authority, or
(b) a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the
laws of a foreign government that is permitted to act as Trustee pursuant to a
rule, regulation or order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by
authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof
substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United
States institutional trustees,
in either case having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then,
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company shall serve
as Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder.
Section 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 6.11.
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of
one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to
the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.
54
(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities
of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the
Company.
(d) If at any time:
(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 after written request
therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months, or
(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail
to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder,
or
(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation,
then, in any such case, (i) the Company, acting pursuant to the authority of a
Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii)
subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal
of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor
Trustee or Trustees.
(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect
to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution,
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of

delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so

Section 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
-------------------------------------------------------
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request
of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property

respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, the retiring
Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
series shall execute and deliver an instrument in writing or an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment
and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable
to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or
desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to
which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this
Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration
of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that
nothing herein or in such instrument in writing or supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon
the execution and delivery of such instrument in writing or supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates.
56
(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute
any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
to such successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph

Section 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Business.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated,
but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated, and in case any
Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor Trustee or in
the name of such successor Trustee, and in all cases the certificate of
authentication shall have the full force which it is provided anywhere in the
Securities or in this Indenture that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.
Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
------------------------------------------------------------------
If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Company (or any such other obligor).
Section 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.
----------------------------------------------------
The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to
one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of
the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue
and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or
pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, or of any State or Territory or
the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or
57
examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor
Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise
eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such
appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities
of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provision of this Section.
The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions
of Section 6.7.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made 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:

COVENANTS
Section 10.1. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the

Section 10.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
------------------------------------------------
The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of

or surrendered for payment and an office or agency where Securities of that
series may be surrendered for transfer or exchange and where notices and demands
to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Company initially appoints the Trustee, acting
through its Corporate Trust Office, as its agent for said purposes. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of
any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain
such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address

appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands.
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices
or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all
of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of
Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation and any change in
the location of any such office or agency.
Section 10.3. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.
----------------------------------------------------------------
If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect
to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of such
series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest
so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its
failure so to act.
Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior
to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on each due date of the principal of or
interest on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay
the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal and
premium (if any) or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure so to act.
The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying
Agent will:
66
(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on Securities in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of principal (and
premium, if any) or interest;
(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the
written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in
trust by such Paying Agent; and
(4) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it
as a Paying Agent.
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company
Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by
the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the
same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such
Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
money.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by
the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall
(unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or
abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid on Company Request to the Company,
or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory
provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as
an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and
that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from
the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining
will be repaid to the Company.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers'
Certificate covering the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not to the
best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of or compliance with any of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture, and if the Company shall
be in default, specifying all
67
such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have
knowledge. For the purpose of this Section 10.4, compliance shall be determined
without regard to any grace period (other than an Extension Period) or
requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.
Section 10.5. Waiver of Certain Covenants.
--------------------------------------------
The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant
or condition provided pursuant to Section 3.1, 9.1(3) or 9.1(4) with respect to
the Securities of any series, if before or after the time for such compliance
the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or
condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such covenant
or condition shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 10.6. Additional Sums.
--------------------------------
In the case of the Securities of a series issued to a PMI Trust, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 or Section 3.1, in the event that (i) a
PMI Trust is the Holder of all of the Outstanding Securities of such series and
(ii) a Tax Event in respect of such PMI Trust shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Company shall pay to such PMI Trust (and its permitted
successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement) as Holder of the
Securities of such series for so long as such PMI Trust (or its permitted
successor or assignee) is the registered holder of any Securities of such
series, such additional sums as may be necessary in order that the amount of
Distributions (including any Additional Amounts (as defined in such Trust
Agreement)) paid by such PMI Trust on the related Capital Securities and Common
Securities that at any time remain outstanding in accordance with the terms
thereof shall not be reduced as a result of any Additional Taxes (the
"Additional Sums"). Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities there is a
reference in any context to the payment of principal of or interest on the
Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payments of
the Additional Sums provided for in this paragraph to the extent that, in such
context, Additional Sums are, were or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph and express mention of the payment
of Additional Sums (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Sums in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made.
Section 10.7. Additional Covenants.
-------------------------------------
The Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities of each
series that it shall not, and it shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Company
to, (a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase,
acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's
capital stock, or (b) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium,
if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company
that rank pari passu in all
68
respects with or junior in interest to the Securities of such series or (c) make
any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of debt
securities of any subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks pari passu
with or junior in interest to the Securities (other than (a) dividends or
distributions in Common Stock, (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection
with the implementation of a Rights Plan, the issuance of any Common Stock of
any class or series of preferred stock of the Company under any Rights Plan in
the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto,
(c) payments under any PMI Guarantee, (d) purchases of Common Stock related to
the issuance of Common Stock or rights under any of the Company's or its
subsidiaries' benefit plans for their directors, officers or employees and (e)
purchases of fractional interests of Common Stock in connection with a stock
split, stock dividend or a similar reclassification or combination) if at such
time (i) there shall have occurred any event of which the Company has actual
knowledge that (A) with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both,
would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such
series and (B) in respect of which the Company shall not have taken reasonable
steps to cure, (ii) if the Securities of such series are held by a PMI Trust,
the Company shall be in default with respect to its payment of any obligations
under the PMI Guarantee relating to the Capital Securities issued by such PMI
Trust or (iii) the Company shall have given notice of its election to begin an
Extension Period with respect to the Securities of such series as provided
herein and shall not have rescinded such notice, or such Extension Period, or
any extension thereof, shall be continuing.
The Company also covenants with each Holder of Securities of a series
issued to a PMI Trust (i) to maintain directly or indirectly 100% ownership of
the Common Securities of such PMI Trust; provided, however, that any permitted
successor of the Company hereunder may succeed to the Company's ownership of
such Common Securities, (ii) as holder of the Common Securities not to
voluntarily terminate, wind-up or liquidate such PMI Trust, except (a) in
connection with a distribution of the Securities of such series to the holders
of Capital Securities in liquidation of such PMI Trust or (b) in connection with
certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the related Trust
Agreement and (iii) to use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the terms and
provisions of such Trust Agreement, to cause such PMI Trust to remain classified
as a grantor trust and not an association taxable as a corporation for United
States federal income tax purposes.
Section 10.8. Original Issue Discount.
----------------------------------------
On or before December 15 of each year during which any Securities are
outstanding, the Company shall furnish to each Paying Agent such information as
may be reasonably requested by each Paying Agent in order that each Paying Agent
may prepare the information which it is required to report for such year on
Internal Revenue Service Forms 1096 and 1099 pursuant to Section 6049 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Such information shall include the
amount of original issue discount includible in income for each $1,000 of
principal amount at Stated Maturity of outstanding Securities during such year.
69
Section 10.9. Delivery of Certain Information.
------------------------------------------------
At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder of a Security, the Company will
promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined
below) to such Holder, or to a prospective purchaser of any such Security
designated by any such Holder to the extent required to permit compliance by
such Holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act (or any successor provision
thereto) in connection with the resale of any such Security; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to furnish such information in connection
with any request made on or after the date which is three years from the later
of (i) the date such a Security (or any such Predecessor Security) was last
acquired from the Company or (ii) the date such Security (or any such
Predecessor Security) was last acquired from an "affiliate" of the Company
within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor
provision thereto). "Rule 144A Information" shall be such information as is
specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor
provision thereto).
ARTICLE XI
REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES
Section 11.1. Applicability of This Article.
----------------------------------------------
Redemption of Securities of any series (whether by operation of a sinking
fund or otherwise) as permitted or required by any form of Security issued
pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance with such form of
Security and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any such
form of Security shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the
provision of such form of Security shall govern. Except as otherwise set forth
in the form of Security for such series, each Security of such series shall be
subject to partial redemption only in the amount of $1,000 or integral multiples
thereof.
Section 11.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.
------------------------------------------------------
The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of any of the Securities of any particular series and having the
same terms, the Company shall, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), notify the Trustee and, in the case of Securities of a series held by
a PMI Trust, the related Property Trustee of such date and of the principal
amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed and provide the additional
information required to be included in the notice or notices contemplated by
Section 11.4. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction.
70
Section 11.3. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.
-------------------------------------------------------
If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless
all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or
unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series
not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a
portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series to be redeemed.
If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to
be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in
accordance with the preceding sentence.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities
selected for partial redemption and 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 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. If the
Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the Company, any
Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the Securities
selected for redemption.
Section 11.4. Notice of Redemption.
-------------------------------------
Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
mailed not later than the thirtieth day, and not earlier than the sixtieth day,
prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at
the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register.
With respect to Securities of each series to be redeemed, each notice of
redemption shall state:
(a) the Redemption Date;
(b) the Redemption Price or if the Redemption Price cannot be calculated
prior to the time the notice is required to be sent, the estimate of the
Redemption Price provided pursuant to the Indenture together with a statement
that it is an estimate and that the actual Redemption Price will be calculated
on the third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (if such an estimate of
the Redemption Price is given, a subsequent notice shall be given as set forth
above setting forth the Redemption Price promptly following the calculation
thereof);
(c) if less than all Outstanding Securities of such particular series and
having the same terms are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case
of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the particular
Securities to be redeemed;
71
(d) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and
payable upon each such Security or portion thereof, and that interest thereon,
if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date;
(e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for
payment of the Redemption Price;
(f) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case; and
(g) such other provisions as may be required in respect of the terms of a
particular series of Securities.
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election 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 and shall not be
irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any
defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as
a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Security.
Section 11.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.
--------------------------------------------
Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date specified in
the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 11.4, 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, the Company will segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and any accrued interest (including Additional Interest) on, all the
Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.
Section 11.6. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.
------------------------------------------------------------
If any notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 11.4, the
Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice has been
given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated
in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued
interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date. On
presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment in said
notice specified, the said securities or the specified portions thereof shall be
paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Redemption
Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.1, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section
3.8.
72
Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at
the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of
authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion of the Security so presented and having the same Original Issue Date,
Stated Maturity and terms. If a Global Security is so surrendered, such new
Security (subject to Section 3.5) will also be a new Global Security.
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal of and premium, if any, on such Security
shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed
therefor in the Security.
Section 11.7. Right of Redemption of Securities Initially Issued to a
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PMI Trust.
- ---------
In the case of the Securities of a series initially issued to a PMI Trust,
except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Company, at
its option, may redeem such Securities (i) on or after the date specified in
such Security, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, or (ii) upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of a Tax Event, at any time within 90
days following the occurrence of such Tax Event in respect of such PMI Trust, in
whole (but not in part), in each case at a Redemption Price specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1.
ARTICLE XII
SINKING FUNDS
Section 12.1. Applicability of Article.
-----------------------------------------
The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for
the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities.
The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
any Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment," and any sinking fund payment in excess of such minimum amount which is
permitted to be made by the terms of such Securities of any series is herein
referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment." If provided for by the terms
of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may
be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.2. Each sinking fund payment
shall be applied to the redemption (or purchase by tender or otherwise) of
Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of such Securities.
73
Section 12.2. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In lieu of making all or any part of a mandatory sinking fund payment with
respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option, at
any time no more than 16 months and no less than 30 days prior to the date on
which such sinking fund payment is due, deliver to the Trustee Securities of
such series (together with the unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto)
theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, except Securities of
such series that have been redeemed through the application of mandatory or
optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of the Securities of such
series, accompanied by a Company Order instructing the Trustee to credit such
obligations and stating that the Securities of such series were originally
issued by the Company by way of bona fide sale or other negotiation for value;
provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so
credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for
such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price for such Securities, as
specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation
of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly.
Section 12.3. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.
----------------------------------------------------------
Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof,
if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to Section
3.1) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and
crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 and will also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such Officers' Certificate shall be
irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the
cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the
succeeding sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company
to deliver such Officers' Certificate (or, as required by this Indenture, the
Securities and coupons, if any, specified in such Officers' Certificate) by the
due date therefor, the sinking fund payment due on the succeeding sinking fund
payment date for such series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be
sufficient to redeem the principal amount of the Securities of such series
subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the right to deliver or
credit securities as provided in Section 12.2 and without the right to make the
optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series at such time.
Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash
plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made with respect
to the Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee (or
by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent) on the sinking
fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made
before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date immediately
following the date of such payment) to the redemption of Securities of such
series at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities with respect to the
sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee
(or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and
74
held in trust by the Company as provided in Section 10.3) for such series and
together with such payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.3. Any and all sinking fund
moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the
Trustee (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and
held in trust as provided in Section 10.3) on the last sinking fund payment date
with respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or
redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied by the
Trustee (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent),
together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited (or segregated)
sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of
such series at Maturity. The Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed
upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and
cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the
expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.4. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the
terms and in the manner stated in Section 11.6. On or before each sinking fund
payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting
as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 10.3) in cash a sum in the currency in which Securities of
such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to Section 3.1) equal to
the principal, premium, if any, and any interest accrued to the Redemption Date
for Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment
date pursuant to this Section 12.3.
Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall redeem any Securities of a series
with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such
series by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance
of a default in payment of interest, if any, on any Securities of such series or
of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a
consequence of this paragraph) with respect to the Securities of such series,
except that if the notice of redemption shall have been provided in accordance
with the provisions hereof, the Trustee (or the Company, if the Company is then
acting as its own Paying Agent) shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient
for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee (or segregated by the
Company) for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article XII.
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 such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or
Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of the Securities and
coupons, if any, of such series; provided, however, that in case such default or
-----------------
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived herein, such moneys shall
thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for the Securities
of such series on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 12.3.
75
ARTICLE XIII
SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES
Section 13.1. Securities Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.
------------------------------------------------------------
The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its
acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in
the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article, the payment of the principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on
each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject
in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.
Section 13.2. No Payment When Senior Indebtedness in Default;__Payment Over
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.
- ----------------------------------
In the event that the Company shall default in the payment of any principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness when the same
becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment
or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of
such default to the Company by the holders of Senior Indebtedness or any trustee
therefor, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall
have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property,
securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on
account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the
Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment, retirement, purchase or
other acquisition of any of the Securities.
In the event of (a) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation,
reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceedings relating
to the Company, its creditors or its property, (b) any proceeding for the
liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, voluntary or
involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, (c)
any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors or (d) any other
marshalling of the assets of the Company (each such event, if any, herein
sometimes referred to as a "Proceeding"), all Senior Indebtedness due or to
become due (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of
any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or
distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than
securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to
the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the
indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect
thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) ("Junior
Securities"), shall be made to any Holder of any of the Securities on account of
the principal of (and premium, if any) on any Securities. Any payment or
distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Junior
Securities) which would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be
payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities of any series shall be paid
or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in accordance with
the priorities then
76
existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness (including any
interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) shall have
been paid in full.
In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing
with respect to Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities, together
with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the
Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the
Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities and such other obligations
before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or
otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of
the Company ranking junior to the Securities and such other obligations.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or
other property (other than Junior Securities), shall be received by the Trustee
or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all Senior
Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, and if such fact shall, at or prior
to the time of such payment, distribution or security, have been made known to
the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, such payment or distribution or
security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over
or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness at the
time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such
holders for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining
unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full. In
the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any
such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Indebtedness is
hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.
The Trustee and Holders will take such action (including, without
limitation, the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect
hereto) as may, in the opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding,
be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the subordination
effected by these provisions.
The provisions of this Section 13.2 shall not impair any rights, interests,
remedies or powers of any secured creditor of the Company in respect of any
security interest the creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of
this Indenture.
The securing of any obligations of the Company, otherwise ranking on a
parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be
deemed to prevent such obligations from constituting, respectively, obligations
ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities.
Section 13.3. Payment Permitted If No Default.
------------------------------------------------
Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any
of the Securities, shall prevent (a) the Company at any time, except during the
conditions described in the first paragraph
77
of Section 13.2 or the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 13.2,
from making payments at any time of principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest (including Additional Interest) on the Securities, or (b) the
application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the
payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such
payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it
did not have knowledge that such payment would have been prohibited by the
provisions of this Article.
Section 13.4. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all
Senior Indebtedness, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash
equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of
the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
pursuant to the provisions of this Article (equally and ratably with the holders
of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to
Senior Indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the
Securities are subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness and is entitled to like
rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made to holders
of such Senior Indebtedness) to the rights of the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and
securities applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For
purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of
the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of
this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to
the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee,
shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior
Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or
distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.
Section 13.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose
of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand
and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in
this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to
or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the Holders of the Securities,
the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to
the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the
same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect
the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and
creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security
from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Indenture including, without limitation, filing and voting claims in
any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders
of Senior
78
Indebtedness to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or
deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.
Section 13.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
---------------------------------------------------
Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and
directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary
or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination provided in this
Article and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all
such purposes.
Section 13.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.
-----------------------------------------------------
No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to
enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company
or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any
noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or
be otherwise charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the immediately preceding
paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from to time,
without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the
Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities
and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or
the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner,
place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter,
Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior
Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise
deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior
Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection
of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against the Company and any other Person.
Section 13.8. Notice to Trustee.
----------------------------------
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact
known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless
and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee, agent or
representative therefor; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have
received the notice provided for in this Section at least three Business Days
prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any monies may become payable
for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) interest (including any Additional
79
Interest) on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such
monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it
within three Business Days prior to such date.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to
rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself
to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or attorney-in-fact
therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee or attorney-in-fact therefor). In the event that the
Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect
to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in
any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request
such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as
to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which
such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any
other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if
such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment.
Section 13.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agent.
- -----
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in
this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and the
Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree
entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is
pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating
trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders
of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or
payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other
facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.
Section 13.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not be
deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall
not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over
or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person
cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.
Section 13.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preservation of Trustee's Rights.
- ---------------------------------
The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights
set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at
any time be held by it, to the same extent as
80
any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall
deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
Section 13.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.
-----------------------------------------------------
In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been
appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as
used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires)
be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning
as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this
Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that
Section 13.11 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if
it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.
