THIS INDENTURE, dated as of December 1, 1982, between MASCO CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter sometimes called the “Company”), and MORGAN GUARANTY TRUST COMPANY OF NEW YORK, as trustee (hereinafter sometimes called the “Trustee”).
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, for its lawful corporate purposes, the Company has duly authorized the issue from time to time of its unsecured debentures, notes or other evidence of indebtedness to be issued in one or more series (the “Securities”) up to such principal amount or amounts as may from time to time be authorized in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and, to provide the terms and conditions upon which the Securities are to be authenticated, issued and delivered, the Company has duly authorized the execution of this Indenture; and

WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement according to its terms, have been done and performed;
Now, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
In consideration of the premises, and the purchase of the Securities by the holders thereof, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective holders from time to time of the Securities or of a series thereof, as follows:
ARTICLE ONE.
DEFINITIONS.
SECTION 1.01. Definitions. The terms defined in this Section 1.01 (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires) for all purposes of this Indenture and of any indenture supplemental hereto shall have the respective meanings specified in this Section 1.01. All other terms used in this Indenture which are defined in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or which are by reference therein defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires) have the meanings assigned to such terms in said Trust Indenture Act and in said
Securities Act as in force at the date of this Indenture as originally executed. All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the term “generally accepted accounting principles” means such accounting principles as are generally accepted at the time of any computation. The words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision.
Attributable Debt:
The term “Attributable Debt” in respect of a sale and leaseback arrangement, shall mean, at the time of determination, the lesser of (x) the fair value of the property subject to such arrangement (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) or (y) the present value (discounted at the rate per annum equal to the interest borne by fixed-rate Securities or the Yield to Maturity at the time of issuance of any Original Issue Discount Securities determined on a weighted average basis compounded semi-annually) of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such arrangement (including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended) after excluding all amounts required to be paid on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water and utility rates and similar charges. In the case of any such lease which may be terminated by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall not be deemed to be any Attributable Debt in respect of a sale and leaseback arrangement if (i) such arrangement involves property of a type to which Section 3.05 does not apply, (ii) the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.05(a) to issue, assume or guarantee Debt (as defined in said Section 3.05(a)) secured by a mortgage upon the property involved in such arrangement without equally and ratably securing the Securities, or (iii) the greater of the proceeds of such arrangement or the fair market value of the property so leased has been applied or credited in accordance with clause (b) of Section 3.06.

The term “Authenticating Agent” shall mean any agent or agents of the Trustee which at the time shall be appointed and acting pursuant to Section 6.14.

The term “Consolidated Net Tangible Assets” shall mean the aggregate amount of assets (less applicable reserves) of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries after deducting therefrom (a) all current liabilities (excluding any such liabilities deemed to be Funded Debt), (b) all goodwill, trade names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense and other like intangibles, and (c) all investments in any Subsidiary other than a Consolidated Subsidiary, in all cases computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and which under generally accepted accounting principles would appear on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “investment in any Subsidiary other than a Consolidated Subsidiary” shall mean all evidences of indebtedness, capital stock, other securities, obligations or indebtedness of any Subsidiary other than a Consolidated Subsidiary owned or held by or owed to the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary, except an evidence of indebtedness, an account receivable or an obligation or indebtedness on open account resulting directly from the sale of goods or merchandise or services for fair value in the ordinary course of business by the Company or the Consolidated Subsidiary to a Subsidiary other than a Consolidated Subsidiary.

Indenture:
The term “Indenture” shall mean this instrument as originally executed or, if amended or supplemented as herein provided, as so amended or supplemented, or both, and shall include the form and terms of particular series of Securities established as contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that if at any time more than one Person is acting as Trustee under this instrument, “Indenture” shall mean with respect to any one or more series of Securities for which such Person is Trustee, this instrument as originally executed or as it may from time to time be supplemented or amended by one or more indentures supplemental hereto entered into pursuant to the applicable provisions hereof and shall include the terms of particular series of Securities for which such Person is Trustee established as contemplated by Section 2.03, exclusive, however, of any provisions or terms which relate solely to other series of Securities for which such Person is not Trustee, regardless of when such terms or provisions were adopted, and exclusive of any provisions or terms adopted by means of one or more indentures supplemental hereto executed and delivered after such Person had become such Trustee but to which such Person, as such Trustee, was not a party.

In determining whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.01.

(c) 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;
(d) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of the Securities have been complied with and that authentication and delivery of the Securities by the Trustee will not violate the terms of this Indenture; and
(e) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.
The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or vice presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing holders.
SECTION 2.05. Date and Denomination of Securities. The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities without coupons and in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of any such specification with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plans as the officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof.
Every Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, shall bear interest, if any, from such date and shall be payable on such dates, in each case, as contemplated by Section 2.03.
The person in whose name any Security of any series is registered at the close of business on any record date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Security upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding Securities are registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of Securities and the Trustee not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, such subsequent record date to be not less than ten days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. The term “record date” as used in this Section with respect to any interest payment date shall mean if such interest payment date is the first day

of a calendar month, the fifteenth day of the next preceding calendar month and shall mean, if such interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month, the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such record date is a business day.
SECTION 2.06. Execution of Securities. The Securities shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the facsimile signature of its Chairman of the Board or its President and imprinted with a facsimile of its corporate seal and attested by the facsimile signature of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Each such signature upon the Securities may be in the form of a facsimile signature of any such officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities and for that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person who has been or is such officer, and in case any such officer of the Company signing any of the Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent upon any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.07. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Securities. Securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Securities to be exchanged may be surrendered at the principal office of the Trustee or at any office or agency to be maintained by the Company for such purpose as provided in Section 3.02, and the Company or the Trustee shall execute and register and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the principal office of the Trustee or at any office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose as provided in Section 3.02, the Company or the Trustee shall execute and register and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series for a like aggregate principal amount. Registration or registration of transfer of any Security by the Trustee or by any agent of the Company appointed pursuant to Section 3.02, and delivery of such Security, shall be deemed to complete the registration or registration of transfer of such Security.
The Company or the Trustee shall keep, at the principal office of the Trustee, a register for each series of Securities issued hereunder in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company or the Trustee shall register all Securities and shall register the transfer of all Securities as in this Article Two provided. Such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time.
All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent duly executed by, the holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.
The Company or the Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Security of a series for a period of 15 days next preceding the date of selection of Securities of such series for redemption, or (b) any Securities of any series selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Securities of any series to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.
SECTION 2.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in the case of a mutilated Security shall, and in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Security may in its discretion, execute, and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the
Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.
The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses

connected therewith and in addition a further sum not exceeding two dollars for each Security so issued in substitution. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and to the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.
Every substituted Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.08 by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.
SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed or lithographed). Temporary Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent definitive Securities and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at the principal office of the Trustee or at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose as provided in Section 3.02, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities a like aggregate principal amount of such definitive Securities. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor except that in case of any such exchange involving a registration of transfer the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. 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 the same series authenticated and delivered hereunder.
SECTION 2.10. Cancellation of Securities Paid, etc. All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer or for credit in lieu of retiring Funded Debt pursuant to Section 3.06 shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly cancelled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent, shall be promptly cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. All Securities cancelled by any Authenticating Agent shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities and shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.
ARTICLE THREE.
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
SECTION 3.01. 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 or cause to be paid the principal of and premium, if any, and any interest on each of the Securities of that series at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided in such Securities. Each installment of interest, if any, on the Securities of any series may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to the order of the holders of Securities entitled thereto as they appear on the registry books of the Company.
SECTION 3.02. Offices for Notices and Payments, etc. So long as any of the Securities remains outstanding, the Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Securities of each series may be presented for payment, an office or agency where the Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture provided and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series or of this Indenture may be served. The Company will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. Until otherwise designated from time to time by the Company in a notice to the Trustee, or specified as contemplated by Section 2.03, such office or agency for all of the above purposes shall be the principal office of the Trustee. In case the Company shall fail to maintain any such office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of

any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the principal office of the Trustee.
In addition to such office or agency, the Company may from time to time designate one or more offices or agencies outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where the Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange in the manner provided in this Indenture, and the Company may from time to time rescind such designation, as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain such office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for the purposes above mentioned. The Company will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof.
SECTION 3.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 6.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 3.04. Provision as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.04:
(1) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series; and
(2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable.
(b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of any series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium or interest so becoming due and will notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor under the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series when the same shall become due and payable.
(c) Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Trustee or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section 3.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.
(d) Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 3.04 is subject to Sections 11.03 and 11.04.
SECTION 3.05. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company will not, nor will it permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee any debt for money borrowed or any Funded Debt (hereinafter in this Article Three referred to as “Debt”), secured by a mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien or other encumbrance (mortgages, security interests, pledges, liens and other encumbrances being hereinafter called a “mortgage” or “mortgages”) upon any Principal Property or upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Consolidated Subsidiary which owns or leases a Principal Property (whether such Principal Property, shares of stock or indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance, assumption or guaranty of any such Debt that the Securities (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary ranking equally with the Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Debt; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to Debt secured by
(i) mortgages on property, shares of stock or indebtedness of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Consolidated Subsidiary;
(ii) mortgages on property existing at the time of acquisition of such property by the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary, or mortgages to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such property upon the acquisition of such property by the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary or to secure any Debt incurred by the
Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary prior to, at the time of, or within 120 days after the later of the acquisition, the completion of construction (including any improvements on an existing property) or the commencement of commercial operation of such property, which Debt is incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or construction or improvements thereon; provided, however, that in the case of any such acquisition, construction or

improvement, the mortgage shall not apply to any property theretofore owned by the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary, other than any property on which the property so constructed or the improvement is located or to which the property so constructed or the improvement is appurtenant;
(iii) mortgages securing Debt of a Consolidated Subsidiary owing to the Company or to another Consolidated Subsidiary;
(iv) mortgages on property of a corporation existing at the time such corporation is merged or consolidated with the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary; provided, however, that no such mortgage shall extend to any other Principal Property of the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary or to any shares of capital stock or any indebtedness of any Consolidated Subsidiary which owns or leases a Principal Property;
(v) mortgages on property of the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other country, or any political subdivision thereof, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute (including Debt of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond type) or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such mortgages; or
(vi) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of mortgages existing at the date of this Indenture, or any mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property which secured the mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05, the Company may, and may permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by a mortgage not excepted by clauses (i) through (vi) of paragraph (a) above without equally and ratably securing the Securities, provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all such Debt then outstanding, plus the aggregate principal amount of the Debt then being issued, assumed, or guaranteed, and the aggregate amount of the Attributable Debt in respect of sale and lease-back arrangements, shall not exceed 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, determined as of a date not more than 90 days prior thereto.
SECTION 3.06. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback. The Company will not, nor will it permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person providing for the leasing by the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary of any Principal Property (whether such Principal Property is now owned or hereafter acquired) (except for leases for a term of not more than three years and except for leases between the Company and a Consolidated Subsidiary or between Consolidated Subsidiaries), which property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary to such person, unless (a) the Company or such Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.05, to issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by a mortgage upon such property at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement without equally and ratably securing the Securities or (b) the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary, within 120 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, applies an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale of the Principal Property leased pursuant to such arrangement or the fair market value of the Principal Property so leased at the time of entering into such arrangement (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement or by way of payment at maturity) of
Funded Debt of the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary (other than Funded Debt owned by the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary and other than Funded Debt subordinated in the payment of principal or interest to the Securities and except that no Security shall be retired if such retirement of Securities pursuant to this provision would be prohibited by the resolutions or supplemental indentures referred to in Section 2.03), provided, however, that in lieu of applying all or any part of such net proceeds or fair market value to such retirement, the Company may at its option (i) deliver to the Trustee Securities theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, or (ii) receive credit for Securities theretofore redeemed pursuant to the resolutions or supplemental indentures referred to in Section 2.03 hereof, which Securities have not theretofore been made the basis for the reduction of a sinking fund payment pursuant to Section 14.04 or applied in lieu of retiring Funded Debt pursuant hereto. If the Company shall so deliver Securities to the Trustee (or receive credit for Securities so delivered), the amount of cash which the Company shall be required to apply to the retirement of Funded Debt pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Securities.
SECTION 3.07. Certificate to Trustee. The Company will deliver to the Trustee on or before April 1 in each year (beginning with April 1, 1983), so long as Securities of any series are outstanding hereunder, an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge

of any default by the Company in the performance of any covenants contained in Sections 3.05, 3.06 and 10.03, stating whether or not they have knowledge of any such default and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signers have knowledge and the nature thereof.
ARTICLE FOUR.
SECURITYHOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY
AND THE TRUSTEE.
SECTION 4.01. Securityholders’ Lists. The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:
(a) semi-annually, not more than 15 days after each record date for each series of Securities, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Securityholders of such series of Securities as of such record date (and on dates to be determined pursuant to Section 2.03 for non-interest bearing Securities in each year); and
(b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished,
except that no such lists need be furnished so long as the Trustee is in possession thereof by reason of its acting as Securities registrar for such series.
SECTION 4.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Lists. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of each series of Securities (1) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 or (2) received by it in the capacity of Securities registrar (if so acting) hereunder. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.
(b) In case three or more holders of Securities of any series (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security of such series for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other holders of Securities of such series or with holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall within five business days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either:
(1) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 4.02, or
(2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of holders of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 4.02, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Securityholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.
If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Securityholder of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 4.02 a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the holders of Securities of such series or all Securities, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If said Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, said Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.
(c) Each and every holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of

this Section 4.02, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b).
SECTION 4.03. Reports by Company. (a) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as said Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with said Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such sections, then to file with the Trustee and said Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by said Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations.
(b) The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee and the Securities and Exchange Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by said Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants provided for in this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations.
(c) The Company covenants and agrees to transmit by mail to all holders of Securities, as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Securities register, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 4.03 as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
SECTION 4.04. Reports by the Trustee. (a) On or before June 15, 1983, and on or before June 15 in every year thereafter, so long as any Securities are outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit to the Securityholders of each series of Securities for which such Trustee is appointed, as hereinafter in this Section 4.04 provided, a brief report dated as of a date convenient to the Trustee no more than 60 days prior thereto with respect to:
(1) its eligibility under Section 6.09, and its qualification under Section 6.08, or in lieu thereof, if to the best of its knowledge it has continued to be eligible and qualified under such Sections, a written statement to such effect;
(2) the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee (as such) which remain unpaid on the date of such report, and for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge, prior to that of the Securities, on any property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee, except that the Trustee shall not be required (but may elect) to state such advances if such advances so remaining unpaid aggregate not more than 1/2 of 1% of the principal amount of the Securities for any series outstanding on the date of such report;
(3) the amount, interest rate, and maturity date of all other indebtedness owing by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Securities) to the Trustee in its individual capacity, on the date of such report, with a brief description of any property held as collateral security therefor, except any indebtedness based upon a creditor relationship arising in any manner described in paragraph (2), (3), (4) or (6) of subsection (b) of Section 6.13;
(4) the property and funds, if any, physically in the possession of the Trustee, as such, on the date of such report;
(5) any additional issue of Securities which the Trustee has not previously reported; and
(6) any action taken by the Trustee in the performance of its duties under this Indenture which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Securities, except action in respect of a default, notice of which has been or is to be withheld by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.08.
(b) The Trustee shall transmit to the Securityholders for each series, as hereinafter provided, a brief report with respect to the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made by the Trustee (as such), since the date of the last report transmitted pursuant to the provisions of subsection
(a) of this Section 4.04 (or, if no such report has yet been so transmitted, since the date of execution of this Indenture), for the reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge prior to that of the Securities of such series on property or funds held or collected by it as Trustee, and which it has not previously reported pursuant to this subsection, except that the Trustee shall not be required (but may elect) to report such advances if such advances remaining unpaid at any time aggregate 10% or less of the principal amount of Securities for such series outstanding at such time, such report to be transmitted within 90 days after such time.

(c) Reports pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall be transmitted by mail to all holders of Securities as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Securities register.
(d) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Securityholders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which the Securities of any applicable series are listed and also with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will notify the Trustee when and as the Securities of any series become listed on or delisted by any stock exchange.

ON EVENT OF DEFAULT.
SECTION 5.01. Events of Default. “Event of Default”, whenever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events and such other events as may be established with respect to the Securities of that series as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof.
(a) default in the payment of any interest upon any Securities of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or
(b) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption (including redemption for the sinking fund), by declaration or otherwise; or
(c) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with and other than those set forth exclusively in terms of any particular series of Securities established as contemplated in this Indenture), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or
(d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or
(e) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due.
If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) or established pursuant to Section 2.03 occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of that series) of all the Securities of such series and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (c), (d) or (e) occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if any, upon all the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series, or at the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may be, to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under this
Indenture, other than the non-payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein—then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to that series (or with respect to all Securities, as the case may be, in such case, treated as a single class) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.
SECTION 5.02. Payment of Securities on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of any series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Securities of any series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the Securities of that series or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise—then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of that series for principal and premium, if any, or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) borne by the Securities of that series, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith.
In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on such Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor on such Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.
In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of any series under Title 11, United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee (or similar official) shall have been appointed for the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities such portion of the principal amount as may be specified by the terms of that series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the

claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Securityholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the
Company or any other obligor on the Securities of any series or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the holders of the Securities of any series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of its charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all amounts owing to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee under Section 6.06.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Secunityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of all the Securities in respect of which such action was taken.
In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders of the Securities of the series affected thereby and it shall not be necessary to make any such holders of the Securities parties to any such proceedings.
SECTION 5.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the several Securities of any series in respect of which moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST. To the payment of costs and expenses of collection applicable to each such series and all other amounts owing to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.06;
SECOND: In case the principal of the outstanding Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on the Securities of each such series, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue instalments of interest at the respective rates borne by the Securities of each such series, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto;
THIRD: In case the principal of the outstanding Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Securities of each such series, for principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the respective rates or Yield to Maturity ( in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of each such series, and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of each such series, then to the payment of such principal and premium, if any, and interest without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of any instalment of interest over any other instalment of interest, or of any Security of each such series over any other Security of each such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest.
Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company or to such other person as shall be entitled to receive it.
SECTION 5.04. Proceedings by Securityholders. No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as herein before provided, and unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then outstanding

or, in the case of any Event of Default described in clause (c), (d) or (e) of Section 5.10, 25% in aggregate principal amount of all Securities then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security with every other taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of any series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other holder of Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of the applicable series.
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Security, on or after the same shall have become due and payable, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.
SECTION 5.05. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
SECTION 5.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by this Article Five to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.
SECTION 5.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Securityholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series affected at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the holders not taking part in such direction or if the Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Subject to Section 5.01 the holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any such series at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default including any default or Event of Default established pursuant to Section 2.03 (or, in the case of an event specified in clause (c), (d) or (e) of Section 5.01, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then outstanding (voting as one class)) may waive such default or Event of Default, and its consequences, except a default (a) in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities or (b) in respect of covenants or provisions hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Security affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of that series (or of all Securities, as the case may be) shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 5.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Securities of that series (or of all Securities, as the case may be) and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.
SECTION 5.08. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to any of the Securities of any series, mail to all Securityholders of that series, as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Securities register, notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “defaults” for the purpose of this Section 5.08 being hereby defined to be the events specified in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 5.01, not including periods of grace, if any, provided for

therein, and irrespective of the giving of written notice specified in clause (c) of Section 5.01 ); and provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors or trustees, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such series, and provided further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01 (c) no such notice to Securityholders shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof but shall be given within 120 days after such occurrence.
SECTION 5.09. Undertaking to Pay 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 5.09 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of that series (or, in the case of any suit relating to or arising under clause (c), (d) or (e) of Section 5.01, 10% in aggregate principal amount of all Securities) outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security against the Company on or after the same shall have become due and payable.
ARTICLE SIX.
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE.
SECTION 6.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. With respect to any series of Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Securities of that series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to Securities of that series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to such series. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with respect to such series, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that
(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default with respect to that series which may have occurred
(1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of a series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations with respect to such series as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of the Securityholders pursuant to Section 5.07, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.
None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
SECTION 6.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, note, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;
(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
(e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;
(f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all
series affected then outstanding; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding;
(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents (including any Authenticating Agent) or attorneys, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed by it with due care; and
(h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any Event of Default or default with respect to any series of Securities unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series shall have notified the Trustee thereof.
SECTION 6.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except in the certificate of authentication of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee and the Authenticating Agent assume no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee and the Authenticating Agent make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee and the Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Securities or the proceeds of any Securities authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.
SECTION 6.04. Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agents, Transfer Agents or Registrar May Own Securities. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent or any paying agent or any transfer agent or any Securities registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, paying agent, transfer agent or Securities registrar.
SECTION 6.05. Moneys to be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.04, all moneys received by the Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purpose for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee and any paying agent shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Company, signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company.
SECTION 6.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse each of the Trustee and

any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ and any amounts it paid to any Authenticating Agent pursuant to Section 6.14) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its own negligence or bad faith. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon. The Company also covenants to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.06 to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a claim prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities.
SECTION 6.07. Officers’ Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 and 6.02, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.
SECTION 6.08. Conflicting Interest of Trustee. (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section 6.08 with respect to the Securities of any series, it shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign with respect to the Securities of that series in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10.
(b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 6.08 with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall, within ten days after the expiration of such 90-day period, transmit notice of such failure to all holders of Securities of that series, as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Securities register.
(c) For the purposes of this Section 6.08 the Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to Securities of any series if
(1) the Trustee is trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any other series or under another indenture under which any other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any other securities, of the Company or other obligor on the Securities of such series (each of which is hereafter in this Section called a “Security party”) are outstanding, unless such other indenture is a collateral trust indenture under which the only collateral consists of Securities issued under this Indenture; provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of this paragraph (A) the Indenture between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Trustee, dated as of June 1, 1976, pursuant to the provisions of which the Company’s
8 7/8% Debentures Due 2001 are outstanding, (B) the Indenture between the Company and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Trustee, dated as of May 1, 1980, pursuant to the provisions of which the Company’s 12 1/4% Notes Due 1985 are outstanding, and (C) this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any other series and any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of a Security party are outstanding if (i) this Indenture is and, if applicable, this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures are wholly unsecured and such other indenture or indentures are hereafter qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, unless the Securities and Exchange Commission shall have found and declared by order pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 305 or subsection (c) of Section 307 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 that differences exist between the provisions of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and one or more other series or, if applicable, this Indenture and the provisions of such other indenture or indentures which are so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures, or (ii) the Company shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Securities and Exchange Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that trusteeship under this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and one or more other series or, if applicable, this Indenture and such other Indenture or indentures is not so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series and one or more other series or, if applicable, this Indenture and one of such indentures;

(2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers if an obligor upon the Securities of any series issued under this Indenture or an underwriter for a Security party;
(3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with a Security party;
(4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee, or representative of a Security party, or of an underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for a Security party who is currently engaged in the business of underwriting, except that (A) one individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director and/or an executive officer of a Security party, but may not be at the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and a Security party; (B) if and so long as the number of directors of the Trustee in office is more than nine, one additional individual may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a director of a Security party; and (C) the Trustee may be designated by a Security party or by an underwriter for a Security party to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent, or depositary, or in any other similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), to act as trustee whether under an indenture or otherwise;
(5) 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by a Security party or by any director, partner, or executive officer thereof, or 20% or more of such voting securities is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more of such persons; or 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for a Security party or by any director, partner, or executive officer thereof, or is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or more such persons;
(6) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, (A) 5% or more of the voting securities, or 10% or more of any other class of security, of a Security party, not including the Securities issued under this Indenture and securities issued under any other indenture under which the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) 10% or more of any class of security of an underwriter for a Security party;
(7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, 5% or more of the voting securities of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 10% or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with, a Security party;
(8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, 10% or more of any class of security of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns 50% or more of the voting securities of a Security party; or
(9) the Trustee owns on May 15 in any calendar year, in the capacity of executor, administrator, testamentary or inter vivos trustee, guardian, committee or conservator, or in any other similar capacity, an aggregate of 25% or more of the voting securities, or of any class of security, of any person, the beneficial ownership of a specified percentage of which would have constituted a conflicting interest under paragraph (6), (7), or (8) of this subsection (c). As to any such securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary trustee of an estate which included them, the provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, for a period of two years from the date of such acquisition, to the extent that such securities included in such estate do not exceed 25% of such voting securities or 25% of any such class of security. Promptly after May 15, in each calendar year, the Trustee shall make a check of its holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of such May 15. If the Company fails to make payment in full of principal of or any interest on any of the Securities when and as the same become due and payable, and such failure continues for 30 days thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt check of its holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the expiration of such 30-day period and, after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (9), all such securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure shall continue, be considered as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), and (8) of this subsection (c).
The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this subsection (c) shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such percentages of the securities of a person is or is not necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (c).
For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8), and (9) of this subsection (c) only, (A) the terms “security” and “securities” shall include only such securities as are generally known as corporate securities, but shall not include any note or other evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an obligation to repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks, trust companies or banking firms, or any certificate of interest or participation in any such note or evidence of indebtedness; (B) an obligation shall be deemed to be in default when a default in payment of principal shall have continued for 30 days or more and shall not have been cured; and (C) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be the owner or holder of (i) any security which it holds as collateral security (as trustee or otherwise) for an obligation which is not in default as defined in clause (B) above, or (ii) any

security which it holds as collateral security under this Indenture, irrespective of any default hereunder, or (iii) any security which it holds as agent for collection, or as custodian, escrow agent, or depositary, or in any similar representative capacity.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 6.08:
(1) The term “underwriter” when used with reference to a Security party shall mean every person who, within three years prior to the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased from such Security party with a view to, or has offered or sold for such Security party in connection with, the distribution of any security of such Security party outstanding at such time, or has participated or has had a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking, but such term shall not include a person whose interest was limited to a commission from an underwriter or dealer not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission.
(2) The term “director” shall mean any director of a corporation or any individual performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated.
(3) The term “person” shall mean an individual, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint-stock company, a trust, an unincorporated organization, or a government or political subdivision thereof. As used in this paragraph, the term “trust” shall include only a trust where the interest or interests of the beneficiary or beneficiaries are evidenced by a security.
(4) The term “voting security” shall mean any security presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a person, or any security issued under or pursuant to any trust, agreement or arrangement whereby a trustee or trustees or agent or agents for the owner or holder of such security are presently entitled to vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a person.
(5) The term “executive officer” shall mean the president, every vice president, every trust officer, the cashier, the secretary, and the treasurer of a corporation, and any individual customarily performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated, but shall not include the chairman of the board of directors.

(i) securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to securities of the issuer of the same class;

(iii) securities pledged by the issuer thereof as security for an obligation of the issuer not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise;
(iv) securities held in escrow if placed in escrow by the issuer thereof;

provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall be deemed outstanding if any person other than the issuer is entitled to exercise the voting rights thereof.
(E) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as another security if both securities confer upon the holder or holders thereof substantially the same rights and privileges; provided, however, that, in the case of secured evidences of indebtedness, all of which are issued under a single indenture, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates of various series thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute such series different classes, and provided, further, that, in the case of unsecured evidences of indebtedness, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute them securities of different classes, whether or not they are issued under a single indenture.
SECTION 6.09. Eligibility of Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.09 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10.
SECTION 6.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by mailing notice thereof to the holders of the applicable series of Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the Securities register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of its Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series of Securities and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the affected Securityholders, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.09, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur—
(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of Section 6.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months, or
(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder, or
(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 5.09, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.
(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of one or more series (each series voting as a class) or all series (voting as one class) at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities or all series, as the case may be, and nominate a successor trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities or all series, as the case may be, which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee with respect to the applicable series unless within ten days after such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Securityholder of the applicable series, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in subdivision (a) of this Section 6.10 provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.11.
SECTION 6.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06.
If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trust hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such trustee.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.09.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the holders of Securities of any applicable series at their addresses as they shall appear on the Securities register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.
SECTION 6.12. Succession by Merger, etc. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Securities of any series in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
SECTION 6.13. Limitation on Rights of Trustee as a Creditor. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 6.13, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company or of any other obligor on the Securities (each of which is hereafter in this Section 6.13 called a “Security party”) within four months prior to a default, as defined in paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this Section 6.13, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of the Trustee individually, the holders of the Securities, and the holders of other indenture securities (as defined in paragraph (2) of subsection (c) of this Section 6.13),
(1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or interest, effected after the beginning of such four-month period and valid as against such Security party and its other creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property described in

paragraph (2) of this subsection, or from the exercise of any right of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy has been filed by or against such Security party upon the date of such default; and
(2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claim as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such four-month period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of such Security party and its other creditors in such property or such proceeds.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee:
(A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any such claim by any person (other than such Security party) who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities, or other property in respect of claims filed against such Security party in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title II, United States Code or applicable state law;
(B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the beginning of such four-month period;
(C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such four-month period and such property was received as security therefor simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such property was so received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default, as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 6.13, would occur within four months; or
(D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or (C), against the release of any property held as security for such claim as provided in such paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of the fair value of such property.
For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C), and (D), property substituted after the beginning of such four-month period for property held as security at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such pre-existing claim.
If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned between the Trustee, the Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, the Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against such Security party in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11, United States Code, or applicable state law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from such Security party of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, the Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against such Security party in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11, United States Code or applicable state law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented
by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term “dividends” shall include any distribution with respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11, United States Code, or applicable state law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities, or other property, but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership, or proceeding for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion among the Trustee, the Securityholders, and the holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee, the Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula.
Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such four-month period shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) as though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such four-month period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) if and only if the following conditions exist:

(i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which would have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued as trustee, occurred after the beginning of such four-month period; and
(ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within four months after such resignation or removal.
(b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this Section 6.13 a creditor relationship arising from
(1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee;
(2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction, or by this Indenture, for the purpose of pre- serving any property which shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances hereon, if notice of such advance and of the circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the Securityholders at the time and in the manner provided in Section 4.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) thereof, respectively;
(3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar capacity;
(4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises rented; or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 6.13;
(5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a corporation organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly a creditor of a Security party; or
(6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which fall within the classification of self-liquidating paper as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 6.13.
(c) As used in this Section 6.13:
(1) The term “default” shall mean any failure to make payment in full of the principal of or interest, if any, upon any of the Securities or upon the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and payable;
(2) The term “other indenture securities” shall mean securities upon which a Security party is an obligor (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act of 1939) outstanding under any other indenture (A) under which the Trustee is also trustee, (B) which contains provisions substantially similar to the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 6.13, and (C) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property held in said special account;
(3) The term “cash transaction” shall mean any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand;
(4) The term “self-liquidating paper” shall mean any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by a Security party for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacture, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security; provided that the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with such Security party arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.
SECTION 6.14. Authenticating Agents. There may be one or more Authenticating Agents appointed by the Trustee upon the request of the Company with power to act on the Trustee’s behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of Securities of any series issued upon exchange or transfer thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as though any such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver Securities of such series; provided, that the Trustee shall have no liability to the Company for any acts or omissions of the Authenticating Agent with respect to the authentication and delivery of Securities of any series. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at
least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.14 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 an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provision of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect herein specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 6.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS.
SECTION 7.01. Action by Securityholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Securityholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such holders of Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Eight, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Securityholders.
SECTION 7.02. Proof of Execution by Securityholders. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, 6.02 and 8.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Securities register or by a certificate of the Securities registrar.
The record of any Securityholders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 8.06.
SECTION 7.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any paying agent, any transfer agent and any Securities registrar may deem the person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the Securities register to be, and may treat him as, the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any paying agent nor any transfer agent nor any Securities registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being or upon his order shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security.
SECTION 7.04. Securities Owned by Company Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only

Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 7.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any such other obligor or person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.
SECTION 7.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action, any holder of a Security (or any Security issued in whole or in part in exchange or substitution therefor) who consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 7.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security (or so far as concerns the principal amount represented by any exchanged or substituted Security). Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security or any Security issued in exchange or substitution therefor. Any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities.

Such notice shall be mailed not less than 20 nor more than 90 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.
SECTION 8.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Securityholders. In case at any time the Company pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, or the holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Securityholders of any or all series, as the case may be, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Securityholders may determine the time and the place in said Borough of Manhattan for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 8.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section 8.02.
SECTION 8.04. Qualifications for Voting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Securityholders a Person shall (a) be a holder of one or more Securities with respect to which the meeting is being held or (b) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by such a holder of one or more such Securities. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to

speak at any meeting of Securityholders shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.
SECTION 8.05. Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Securityholders, in regard to proof of the holding of Securities and of the appointments of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit.
The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Securityholders as provided in Section 8.03, in which case the Company or the Securityholders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by majority vote of the meeting.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, at any meeting each holder of Securities with respect to which such meeting is being held or proxy therefor shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such principal amount to be determined as provided in the definition “outstanding”) of Securities held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities held by him or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the person to vote on behalf of other Securityholders. At any meeting of Securityholders, the presence of Persons holding or representing Securities in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to take action on the business for the transaction of which such meeting was called shall constitute a quorum, but, if less than a quorum is present, the Persons holding or representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote may adjourn such meeting with the same effect, for all intents and purposes, as though a quorum had been present. Any meeting of Securityholders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.03 may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of those present, whether or not constituting a quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.
SECTION 8.06. Voting. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of holders of Securities with respect to which such meeting is being held shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of such holders or of their representatives by proxy and the serial number or numbers of the Securities held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in Section 8.02. The record shall show the serial numbers of the Securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.
Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

(b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions or conditions for the protection of the holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities stating that such covenants are expressly being included for the benefit of such series) as the Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the holders of such Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions or conditions a default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenant, restriction or condition such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults)

or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default;
(c) to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Securities in coupon form (including Securities registrable as to principal only) and to provide for exchangeability of such Securities with the Securities issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose;
(d) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities any property or assets which the Company may desire or may be required to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05 or Section 10.03;
(e) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or to make any other changes hereto; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Securities;
(f) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03; and

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer and assignment of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 9.02.
SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 7.01) of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as a class), the Company, when authorized by a resolution of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities of each series so affected; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof or make the principal thereof or any interest or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Securities, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.01 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 5.02, or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for payment thereof or the right of repayment,
if any, at the option of the holder, without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities the holders of which are required to act pursuant to Section 5.07 or to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the holders of each Security affected.
A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of Securityholders of such series with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Securityholders of any other series.
Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors certified by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance hereof.

SECTION 9.04. Notation on Securities. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture affecting such series pursuant to the provisions of this Article Nine may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 10.02. Successor Corporation to be Substituted for Company. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance (other than a conveyance by way of lease) and upon any such assumption by the successor corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the Company thereupon shall be relieved of any further liability or obligation hereunder or upon the Securities and may thereupon or at any time thereafter be dissolved, wound up or liquidated. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of Masco Corporation, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent; and, upon the order of such successor corporation (instead of the Company) and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, such change in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

SECTION 10.03. Securities to be Secured in Certain Events. If, upon any such consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation, or upon any sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other corporation, any Principal Property or any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Consolidated Subsidiary owning any Principal Property owned immediately prior thereto would thereupon become subject to any mortgage (as defined in Section 3.05), unless the Company could create such mortgage pursuant to Section 3.05 without equally and ratably securing the Securities, the Company, prior to or simultaneously with such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, will secure the Securities outstanding hereunder, equally and ratably with any other obligation of the Company or any such Subsidiary then entitled thereto, prior to the Debt (as defined in Section 3.05) secured by such mortgage.
SECTION 10.04. Evidence to be Furnished Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, may receive and rely upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, and any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Article Ten.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN.
REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES-MANDATORY AND
OPTIONAL SINKING FUND.
SECTION 14.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable at the option of the Company before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities of such series.
SECTION 14.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Securities. In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities of any series in accordance with their terms, it shall fix a date for redemption and shall mail a notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at their last addresses as the same appear on the Securities register. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. 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, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.
Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which Securities of such series are to be redeemed, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If less than all the Securities of such series are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the numbers of the Securities of that series to be redeemed. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of that series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

Prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed the Company will give the Trustee notice not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of that series to be redeemed and the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Securities of that series or portions thereof (in integral multiples of $1,000, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable form of Security) to be redeemed.
SECTION 14.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 14.02 or Section 14.04, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption (unless such date is an interest payment date, in which case such accrued interest shall be paid to the holders of record on the relevant record date, and no such accrued interest shall be paid with the redemption price), and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in said notice, the said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (unless such date is an interest payment date, in which case such accrued interest shall be paid to the holders of record on the relevant record date, and no such accrued interest shall be paid with the redemption price).
Upon presentation of any Security of any series 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 such series of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.
SECTION 14.04. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Fund. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. The last date on which any such payment may be made is herein referred to as a “sinking fund payment date”.
In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series (other than any previously called for redemption) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of that series which have been previously delivered to the Trustee by the Company or Securities of that series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Each such Security so delivered or applied as a credit shall be credited at the sinking fund redemption price for such Securities and the amount of any mandatory sinking fund shall be reduced accordingly. If the Company intends so to deliver or credit such Securities with respect to any mandatory sinking fund payment it shall deliver to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for such series (a) a certificate signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company specifying the portion of such sinking fund payment, if any, to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion of such sinking fund payment, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting such Securities and (b) any Securities to be so delivered if not previously delivered. All Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be cancelled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be authenticated in lieu thereof. If the Company fails to deliver such certificate and Securities at or before the time provided above, the Company shall not be permitted to satisfy any portion of such mandatory sinking fund payment by delivery or credit of Securities.
At its option the Company may pay into the sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any particular series, on or before each sinking fund payment date for such series, any additional sum in cash as specified by the terms of such series of Securities. If the Company intends to exercise its right to make any such optional sinking fund payment, it shall deliver to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for such Series a certificate signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company stating that the Company intends to exercise such optional right and specifying the amount which the Company intends to pay on such sinking fund payment date. If the Company fails to deliver such certificate at or before the time provided above, the Company shall not be permitted to make any optional sinking fund payment with respect to such sinking fund payment date. To the extent that such right is not exercised in any year it shall not be cumulative or carried forward to any subsequent year.

If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) with respect to the Securities of any particular series, it shall be applied by the Trustee or one or more paying agents on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 14.02, for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and the Trustee shall, at the expense and in the name of the Company, thereupon cause notice of redemption of Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner and with the effect provided in Sections 14.02 and 14.03 for the redemption of Securities of that series in part at the option of the Company, except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities of such series are being redeemed for the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee or any paying agent to the redemption of Securities of that series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee or such paying agent and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.04. Any and all sinking fund moneys held by the Trustee or any paying agent on the maturity date of the securities of any particular series, and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series, shall be applied by the Trustee or such paying agent, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of that series at maturity.
On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or to one or more paying agents in cash a sum equal to all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the next following sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section.
Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall redeem any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys, and the Trustee shall not mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund, during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to such Securities, except that if the notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee or any paying agent shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee or such paying agent for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article Fourteen. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of all Securities of such series; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default or default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.04.
