Copies of documents incorporated in this Prospectus by reference but not delivered herewith (except the exhibits to such documents, unless such exhibits are specifically incorporated herein by reference) may be obtained from the Company, without charge, upon written or oral request directed to Martin J. Strobel, Secretary, Dana Corporation, P.O. Box 1000, Toledo, Ohio 43697 (telephone: 419-535-4500). THE COMPANY Founded in 1904 and based in Toledo, Ohio, the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries and its affiliates) is a global leader in the engineering, manufacture and distribution of products and systems for the vehicular, industrial and off-highway markets. The Company's six strategic business units are Automotive Components, Engine Components, Heavy Truck Components, Off Highway Components, Industrial Components, and Dana Commercial Credit. Its core products are axles, driveshafts, structural components (frames), sealing products, filtration products, engine products, industrial products, and leasing services. The Company operates facilities in 30 countries and employs more than 48,000 people. Its 1996 sales were $7.7 billion. The Company's executive offices are located at 4500 Dorr Street, Toledo, Ohio 43615, telephone 419-535-4500. RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES The following are the consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges for the Company for the periods indicated:
Nine Months Ended September 30 Year Ended December 31 ------------ ---------------------- 1997 1996 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges 4.3x 3.9x 3.7x 4.0x 4.0x 2.5x 1.3x
These ratios were computed by dividing the earnings by the fixed charges. For this purpose, "earnings" consist of income from continuing operations before taxes, distributed income of less than 50% owned affiliates, fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest) and income of majority-owned subsidiaries with fixed charges, and "fixed charges" consist of interest on indebtedness and that portion of rental expense (one third) which the Company believes to be representative of interest. 6 7 USE OF PROCEEDS The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities for general corporate purposes, such as, but not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, and the repayment or refinancing of the Company's indebtedness. When any particular Securities are offered, the Prospectus Supplement will set forth the Company's intended use of the net proceeds from the sale of such Securities. DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK The following descriptions of the Company's capital stock do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, and, with respect to the Preferred Share Purchase Rights, the Rights Agreement (as hereafter defined), copies of which previously have been filed by the Company with the Commission. COMMON STOCK Under its Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 240,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Currently there are approximately 105,305,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 13,736,000 shares reserved in the aggregate for issuance under the several employee and director stock plans maintained by the Company. The Common Stock is listed on the New York, Pacific and London Stock Exchanges under the symbol "DCN." The shares of Common Stock currently outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable and any such shares offered under a Prospectus Supplement, upon issuance against full consideration therefor, will also be fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available for payment thereof in such amounts per share as may be declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. The Common Stock is the only voting class of the Company's capital stock of which shares are currently issued and outstanding. The shares do not carry cumulative voting rights in electing directors, which means that, if there is a quorum present or represented at a meeting at which directors are to be elected, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting will elect all of the directors and the holders of less than 50% of the shares voting will not elect any directors. Upon any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, voluntary or involuntary, holders of the Common Stock will receive equal shares of the assets of the Company which are available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock after payment of all liabilities of the Company and of any liquidation preferences granted to holders of the Company's preferred stock. The Common Stock is not convertible, does not have any sinking fund, preemptive or other subscription rights, and is not subject to redemption. 7 8 PREFERRED STOCK Under its Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, none of which are currently outstanding. The Company's Board of Directors has the authority to issue any such Preferred Stock in one or more series; to fix the number of shares of each series, its particular designation, its liquidation preference, and the rate of dividends to be paid; and to determine whether dividends will be cumulative, whether shares of the series will have voting rights and/or be redeemable, and whether the particular series will be entitled to a sinking fund and/or to conversion rights. If Preferred Stock is issued, the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on the Common Stock will be reduced by any dividend obligation that the Board may fix for the Preferred Stock. Holders of Preferred Stock will also have preferential treatment over holders of Common Stock in the event of liquidation of the Company. In connection with the issuance of Preferred Stock, the Board may grant voting rights to the holders of Preferred Stock which may dilute the voting power of the holders of Common Stock. JUNIOR PREFERRED STOCK AND PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS In connection with the Rights Agreement, dated April 25, 1996, between the Company and Chemical Mellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C., Rights Agent (the "Rights Agreement"), the Company's Board of Directors authorized the creation of a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Junior Preferred Stock"). The number of shares constituting the series of Junior Preferred Stock is 1,000,000. Shares of Junior Preferred Stock are issuable only upon the exercise of Preferred Share Purchase Rights ("Purchase Rights"), in the amount of one Purchase Right for each share of the Common Stock outstanding on July 25, 1996, or which become outstanding (including the shares of Common Stock offered under a Prospectus Supplement) after that date but prior to July 25, 2006, or the date of certain earlier events. Each Purchase Right entitles its holder, subject to the provisions of the Rights Agreement, until the earlier of July 25, 2006, or the redemption of the Purchase Rights, to buy one 1/1000th of a share of Junior Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $110, subject to adjustment. The Purchase Rights are redeemable at a price of $0.01 each at any time prior to the acquisition by any person or entity of beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding Common Stock. If any person (or entity) announces that he (or it) has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Common Stock or commences, or announces an intention to commence, an offer the consummation of which would result in his (or its) beneficially owning 15% or more of the Common Stock, separate certificates for the Purchase Rights will be mailed to the holders of Common Stock and the Purchase Rights will become exercisable and transferable apart from the Common Stock. If the Company is acquired in a merger or similar transaction or if 50% of its assets or earning power are transferred to another company, in either case without the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, the holder of each Purchase Right may purchase a number of shares of the acquiring company's common stock having a market price equal to twice the current exercise price of the Purchase Right. If 15% (but less than 50%) of 8 9 the Common Stock is acquired by any person or entity, the Company's Board of Directors may exchange each Purchase Right for one share of Common Stock. In these situations, the Purchase Rights owned by any person or entity holding 15% or more of the Common Stock become void and cannot be exercised. The Junior Preferred Stock, if issued, will be entitled to a cumulative preferential quarterly dividend per share equal to the greater of $10 or 100 times the dividend declared on shares of the Common Stock. The Junior Preferred Stock is redeemable in whole at the Company's option at a cash price per share of the greater of $100 or 100 times the Current Market Price (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the Common Stock. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends plus an amount per share equal to the greater of $100 or 100 times the payment made per share to holders of Common Stock. Each share of Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to 100 votes, voting together with the holders of the Common Stock on all matters submitted to the vote of stockholders. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which Common Stock is exchanged, the holder of each share of Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount and type of consideration paid per share of Common Stock. The rights of the holders of Junior Preferred Stock as to dividends and liquidations, their voting rights, and their rights in the event of mergers and consolidations, are protected by customary anti-dilution provisions. The Purchase Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. Among other things, the Purchase Rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company on terms not approved by the Company's Board of Directors, except pursuant to an offer conditioned on a substantial number of Purchase Rights being acquired. The Purchase Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Company's Board of Directors prior to the time that any person or entity has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Common Stock. VIRGINIA LAW The Company is a Virginia corporation and is subject to Article 14 (the "Affiliated Transactions Statute") and Article 14.1 (the "Control Share Statute") of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act. Pursuant to the Affiliated Transactions Statute, a Virginia corporation may not engage in an affiliated transaction with a 10% shareholder and his affiliates (collectively, the "10% Holder") for three years following the 10% acquisition unless the transaction is approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the corporation and two-thirds of the shares not owned by the 10% Holder. For purposes of this provision, an affiliated transaction is defined as one of the following transactions that has not been approved previously by the corporation's board of directors: a merger, a share exchange, a sale of assets with a fair market value in excess of 5% of the corporation's consolidated net worth, a dissolution of the corporation and certain securities transactions. The 10% Holder may effect the affiliated transaction after the three-year period only if (1) the transaction is approved (a) by two-thirds of the shares not owned by the 10% Holder or (b) by a majority of the disinterested directors or (2) the aggregate consideration to be paid in such affiliated 9 10 transaction meets certain fair price criteria. A corporation may opt out of this provision by amendment to its articles of incorporation or by-laws approved by the majority of the outstanding shares of stock not owned by the 10% Holder. The Company has not opted out of this provision. Pursuant to the Control Share Statute, if a person (the "Acquiring Person") acquires shares entitled to vote on the election of directors within one of the ranges set by the statute (20% or more and less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority), it automatically loses the right to vote the shares that fall within such range. The Acquiring Person can demand a meeting of shareholders to vote on whether the "disqualified" shares will have voting rights. The voting rights of the "disqualified" shares can be restored by the affirmative vote of a majority of "disinterested shares" at such a shareholders meeting. For purposes of the Control Share Statute, "disinterested shares" include all outstanding shares except those held by the Acquiring Person and the corporation's officers and employee-directors. A corporation can opt out of the Control Share Statute by amendment to its articles or by-laws and the Company has done so. DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES The following summary sets forth the material terms under which the Company expects to offer the Debt Securities. The terms of the particular Debt Securities offered by any Prospectus Supplement and the extent to which the following terms apply will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. GENERAL The Debt Securities will be issued under an indenture or indentures and one or more indenture supplements (collectively, the "Indenture") between the Company and Citibank, N.A. (the "Trustee"). The terms of the Debt Securities will include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part thereof by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the "TIA") as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Indenture will provide for the issuance of Debt Securities by the Company in an unlimited amount from time to time in one or more series. The Indenture will not limit the amount of debt, either secured or unsecured, which the Company may issue under the Indenture or otherwise. The Prospectus Supplement relating to the particular Debt Securities offered thereby will describe the following terms of such Debt Securities: (1) the title of the Debt Securities; (2) the price (expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount thereof) at which the Debt Securities will be issued; (3) any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities; (4) the date(s) on which the Debt Securities will mature and any provisions for extending such date(s); (5) the rate(s) (which may be fixed or variable) per annum at which the Debt Securities will bear interest (if any), or the manner in which such rate(s) will be determined; (6) the date(s) from which any such interest will accrue and on which any such interest will be payable, and any regular record dates for determining the holders to whom such interest will be payable; (7) the place(s) where the principal of and any premium and interest on the Debt Securities will 10 11 be payable; (8) any obligation or right of the Company to redeem, repurchase or repay the Debt Securities (in whole or in part) pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of the holders or the Company, and the price(s) at which, period(s) within which, and terms upon which the Debt Securities will be redeemed, repurchased or repaid pursuant to such obligation; (9) the denominations in which the Debt Securities will be issued (if other than denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof); (10) the currency or composite currency in which payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the Debt Securities will be payable (if other than United States currency); (11) whether the Debt Securities will be issued in the form of one or more permanent Global Securities and, if so, the identity of the Depositary for the same; (12) the portion of the principal amount of the Debt Securities which will be payable upon declaration of the acceleration of the maturity thereof (if other than the principal amount); (13) any additions to or changes in the covenants or events of default set forth below which will apply to the Debt Securities; (14) any conversion or exchange provisions; and (15) any other terms of the Debt Securities (which terms will be consistent with the applicable Indenture). Unless otherwise set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof (or comparable integral multiples in foreign currency). If the Debt Securities are offered or payable in any foreign currency, the Prospectus Supplement will set forth applicable information about the foreign currency units, restrictions, elections, tax consequences, and any other special information about the Debt Securities. If the Debt Securities are issued at a discount from their principal amount ("Original Issue Discount Securities"), the Prospectus Supplement will set forth any applicable federal income tax or other special considerations. Unless otherwise set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, the principal of and any premium and interest on the Debt Securities will be payable, and the exchange and transfer of the Debt Securities will be registerable, at the office of the Trustee or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose, subject to the limitations of the Indenture. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Debt Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith. RANKING The Company currently intends to issue the Debt Securities as unsecured and unsubordinated debt ranking pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Company. If the Company determines to issue any or all of the Debt Securities as subordinated debt ("Subordinated Debt Securities"), the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Subordinated Debt Securities will set forth the terms of any indenture that may apply 11 12 and the rights of the holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities (the "Subordinated Indenture"). CONVERSION AND EXCHANGE If the Debt Securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or Preferred Stock, property or cash, or any combination thereof, the Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of conversion or exchange, including whether such conversion or exchange is mandatory or at the option of the holders or of the Company. If applicable, the Prospectus Supplement will also set forth the factors and time for calculating the number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock to be received by the holders of the Debt Securities upon conversion or exchange. GLOBAL SECURITIES The Debt Securities may be issued (in whole or part) in the form of one or more Global Securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary identified in the Prospectus Supplement (the "Depositary") and registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee (the "Nominee"). The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any series of Debt Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement. The Company anticipates that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements. Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary or the Nominee will credit the respective principal amount of the Debt Securities represented by the Global Security on its book-entry registration and transfer system. Such accounts will be designated by the underwriters or agents with respect to the Debt Securities, or by the Company if it is offering and selling the Debt Securities directly. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Global Security will be limited to the designated participants and persons that may hold interests through such participants. Such ownership will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or Nominee (with respect to interests of the participants) and records of the participants (with respect to interests of persons other than the participants). The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form (that is, in the form of certificates registered in their names), and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security. So long as either the Depositary or the Nominee is the registered owner of the Global Security, it will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt Securities represented by the Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture governing the Debt Securities. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the Global Security will not be entitled to have the Debt Securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Debt Securities in definitive form, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture governing the Debt Securities. 12 13 The principal of and any premium and interest on the Debt Securities registered in the name of either the Depository or the Nominee will be paid to it as the registered owner of the Global Security representing the Debt Securities. The Company and the Trustee, Paying Agent(s) and Security Registrar(s) for the Debt Securities will have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or the payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the Global Security (including the maintaining, supervising or reviewing of any records relating to such interests). The Company expects that the Depositary or the Nominee, as applicable, upon receipt of any payment of the principal of or any premium and interest with respect to the Debt Securities, will credit the participants' accounts immediately with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Security, as shown on the Depositary's or Nominee's records. The Company also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices (as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in "street name") and will be the responsibility of such participants. If the Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue the Debt Securities in definitive form in exchange for the Global Security representing the Debt Securities. Further, if the Company so specifies with respect to the Debt Securities, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Security representing the Debt Securities may, on terms acceptable to the Company and the Depositary or Nominee, receive the Debt Securities in definitive form. In such case, the owner of the beneficial interest in the Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery in definitive form of Debt Securities equal in principal amount to its beneficial interest and to have such Debt Securities registered in its name. Such Debt Securities will be issued in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, unless otherwise specified by the Company. COVENANTS Certain Definitions The following terms are defined substantially as in Section 1.01 of the Indenture.

"Funded Debt" means indebtedness for borrowed money owed or guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and any other indebtedness which under generally accepted accounting principles would appear as debt on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company, maturing by its terms more than 12 months from the date of the 13 14 determination thereof, including any indebtedness renewable or extendible at the option of the obligor to a date more than 12 months from the date of determination thereof.

"Principal Property" means any real property (including buildings and other improvements) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, owned currently or hereafter acquired (other than any pollution control facility, cogeneration facility or small power production facility), which has a book value in excess of 2% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. "Restricted Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary of the Company other than an "Unrestricted Subsidiary." An "Unrestricted Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary designated as such from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are no Unrestricted Subsidiaries. "Sale and Leaseback Transaction" means any arrangement with any person or entity providing for the leasing by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal Property whereby such Principal Property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary to such person or entity, excluding any such arrangement involving a lease for a term (including renewal rights) of not more than 36 months. "Secured Debt" means indebtedness (other than indebtedness among the Company and Restricted Subsidiaries) for money borrowed, or other indebtedness on which interest is paid or payable, which is secured by (1) a lien on any Principal Property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or on the stock or indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary, or (2) any guarantee of indebtedness of the Company by a Restricted Subsidiary. "Subsidiary" means any corporation, partnership or other business entity of which the Company, or the Company and one or more of its Subsidiaries, or one or more of the Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the voting stock. Limitations on Liens The Company covenants not to incur or guarantee any Secured Debt without equally and ratably securing the Debt Securities, and not to permit its Restricted Subsidiaries to do so. This covenant is not applicable to (1) Secured Debt existing at the date of the Indenture; (2) liens on real or personal property acquired, constructed or improved by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary after the date of the Indenture which are created contemporaneously with, or within 12 months after, the acquisition, construction or improvement to secure all or any part of the purchase price of such property or the cost of such construction or improvement; (3) mortgages on property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary created within 12 months of the completion of construction or improvement of any new 14 15 plant(s) on such property to secure the cost of such construction or improvement; (4) liens on property existing at the time the property was acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (5) liens on the outstanding shares or indebtedness of a corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Subsidiary; (6) liens on stock (except stock of Subsidiaries) acquired after the date of the Indenture if the aggregate cost thereof does not exceed 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; (7) liens securing indebtedness of a successor corporation to the Company to extent permitted by the Indenture; (8) liens securing indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary at the time it became such; (9) liens securing indebtedness of any entity outstanding at the time it merged with, or substantially all of its properties were acquired by, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (10) liens created, incurred or assumed in connection with an industrial revenue bond, pollution control bond or similar financing arrangement between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any federal, state or municipal government or other governmental body or quasi-governmental agency; (11) liens in connection with government or other contracts to secure progress or advance payments; (12) liens in connection with taxes or legal proceedings to the extent such taxes or legal proceedings are being contested or appealed in good faith or are incurred for the purpose of obtaining a stay or discharge in the course of such proceedings; (13) liens consisting of mechanics' or materialmen's or similar liens incurred in the ordinary course of business and easements, rights of way, zoning restrictions, restrictions on the use of real property and defects and irregularities in title thereto; (14) liens made in connection with or to secure payment of workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, or social security obligations; (15) liens in connection with the Sale and Leaseback Transactions which are not subject to the limitations described below under "Limitations on Sale and Leaseback"; (16) mortgages to secure debt of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary; and (17) extensions, renewals or replacements of the foregoing permitted liens to the extent of the original amounts thereof. In addition, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may have Secured Debt which would not otherwise be permitted or excepted without equally and ratably securing the Debt Securities, if the sum of such Secured Debt plus the aggregate value of Sale and Leaseback Transactions subject to the limitations described below does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. Limitations on Sale and Leaseback The Company covenants not to engage in any Sale and Leaseback Transactions involving any Principal Property, or to permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which has been in operation for more than 180 days to do so, unless (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Secured Debt on such Principal Property equal to the amount realizable upon such sale or transfer as if such amount were secured by a mortgage, without equally and ratably securing the Debt Securities; or (2) an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale or the fair value of such Principal Property is applied within 180 days either to (a) the retirement of indebtedness of the Company that was Funded Debt at the time it was created or (b) the purchase of other Principal Property having a value at least equal to the greater of such amounts; or (iii) the Sale and Leaseback Transaction involved an industrial revenue bond, pollution control bond or other similar financing arrangement between 15 16 the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any federal, state or municipal government or other governmental body or agency. Payment of Taxes The Company covenants to pay, before they become delinquent, (1) all taxes and other government charges levied on the Company or any Subsidiary or on the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, material and supplies which might become a lien and have a Material Adverse Effect. However, the Company will not be required to pay taxes, assessments or charges if the amount, applicability or validity of the same is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. Existence The Company covenants to do all things necessary to keep its existence, rights and franchises in full force and effect, and to cause its Subsidiaries to do the same. However, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be required to preserve any right or franchise (or, in the case of a Subsidiary, its existence) if the Company determines that the same is no longer desirable in the conduct of the Company's business and that the loss or termination of the same will not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Compliance with Laws The Company covenants that it will comply with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, and will cause its Subsidiaries to do the same, in each case to the extent that the failure to so comply would have a Material Adverse Effect. EVENTS OF DEFAULT Unless otherwise set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, the following will be "Events of Default" under the Indenture with respect to the series of Debt Securities issued thereunder: (1) a default for 30 days in the payment of any interest on the Debt Securities when due; (2) the failure to pay the principal of or any premium on the Debt Securities when due; (3) the failure to deposit any mandatory sinking fund installment with respect to the Debt Securities when due; (4) the failure to observe or perform any other covenant in the Indenture applicable to the Debt Securities (other than a covenant included in the Indenture for the benefit of another series of Debt Securities) continuing beyond any applicable grace period; (5) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; and (6) any other event of default specified in the Prospectus Supplement. The Indenture will provide that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (after expiration of any applicable grace period), the Trustee or the holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series may declare the principal amount of and any accrued but unpaid interest on such Debt Securities immediately due and payable. After any such acceleration with respect to the 16 17 Debt Securities, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities may rescind and annul such declaration before a judgment or decree for payment of money has been obtained. The Indenture will provide that within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any series of Debt Securities, the Trustee will give notice to the holders thereof of all uncured and unwaived defaults known to it (including events which, after notice or lapse of time or both will become Events of Default); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any mandatory sinking fund installment on, such Debt Securities, the Trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if it determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the best interest of such holders. The Indenture will provide that the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of any series of Debt Securities outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place for conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any power or trust conferred on the Trustee, provided that such direction is in accordance with law and the provisions of the Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise its rights and powers under the Indenture and use the same degree of skill and care in such exercise as a prudent person would use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject thereto, the Trustee will not be obligated to exercise its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of the holders of the Debt Securities unless they have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which it may incur in compliance with such request. Unless otherwise provided in the Indenture, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities, on behalf of all holders of such Debt Securities, may waive (1) any past default under the Indenture (except a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on the Debt Securities) or (2) compliance by the Company with certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture. Under the Indenture, the Company will be required to furnish annually to the Trustee a statement about the Company's performance of certain of its obligations under the Indenture and any default in such performance. MERGER The Indenture will provide that the Company may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge into any other corporation, without the consent of the holders of the Debt Securities, provided that (1) the successor corporation is organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a State thereof and expressly assumes the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the Debt Securities according to their terms and the due and punctual performance and observance of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Company, and (2) after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing. Except as set forth herein or 17 18 in any Prospectus Supplement, the Indenture will not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to afford the holders of the Debt Securities protection in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged transaction involving the Company. MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE The Company and the Trustee may amend or modify the Indenture from time to time for administrative convenience or necessity, provided that the changes do not materially adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Debt Securities. Moreover, with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities, the Company and the Trustee may amend or modify the Indenture so as to affect the rights of the holders of the Debt Securities, except that, without the consent of the holder of each Debt Security affected thereby, no amendment or modification may (1) extend the time of maturity of the principal of or any installment of interest on the Debt Securities; (2) reduce the principal of or any premium or rate of interest on the Debt Securities; or (3) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities the consent of whose holders is required to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or to waive certain events of default and their consequences. DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE The Company may satisfy and discharge its obligations under the Indenture (other than its obligation to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Debt Securities and certain other specified obligations) if it (1) irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, as trust funds, the amount (in money or U.S. government obligations maturing as to principal and interest) sufficient to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Debt Securities and any mandatory sinking fund obligations with respect thereto on the stated maturity date of such payments or on any redemption date, and (2) complies with any additional conditions specified to be applicable with respect to the defeasance of such Debt Securities. The terms of any series of Debt Securities may also provide for legal defeasance pursuant to the Indenture. In such case, if the Company (1) irrevocably deposits money or U.S. government obligations as described above, (2) makes a request to the Trustee to be discharged from its obligations on such Debt Securities, and (3) complies with any additional conditions specified to be applicable with respect to the legal defeasance of such Debt Securities, then the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all such outstanding Debt Securities under the Indenture and the obligation of the Company to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on such Debt Securities shall cease, terminate and be completely discharged and the holders of the Debt Securities will be entitled only to payment out of the money or U.S. government obligations deposited with the Trustee, unless the Company's obligations are revived and reinstated because the Trustee is unable to apply such trust fund due to any legal proceeding, order or judgment. 18 19 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Company may offer the Securities directly to purchasers, to or through underwriters, through dealers or agents, or through a combination of such methods. If underwriters are used in an offering of the Securities, the Company will execute an underwriting agreement with such underwriters and will set out the name of each underwriter and the terms of the transaction (including any underwriting discounts and other terms constituting compensation of the underwriters and any dealers) in the Prospectus Supplement. If an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter(s) will be set forth on the cover of the Prospectus Supplement. Such Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. If dealers are used in an offering of Securities, the Company will sell such Securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers then may resell such Securities to the public at varying prices which they determine at the time of resale. The names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. If agents are used in an offering of Securities, the names of the agents and the terms of the agency will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, the agents will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of their appointment. Dealers and agents named in a Prospectus Supplement may be deemed to be underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Securities described therein. Underwriters, dealers and agents, may be entitled to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities (including liabilities under the Securities Act) under underwriting or other agreements entered into with the Company. The Company may solicit offers to purchase the Securities from, and sell the Securities directly to, institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resales thereof. The terms of any such offer will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. Certain underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with, and perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business, including refinancing of the Company's indebtedness. If so indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as the Company's agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase the Securities from the Company pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. Institutions with which such contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all 19 20 cases such institutions must be approved by the Company. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the Securities will not, at the time of delivery, be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject. The underwriters and such other agents will not have any responsibility for the validity or performance of such contracts. To facilitate an offering of a series of Securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the Securities, which involves the sale by persons participating in the offering of more Securities than have been sold to them by the Company. In such circumstances, such persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by purchasing in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment options. In addition, such persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the Securities by bidding for or purchasing Securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in any such offering may be reclaimed if Securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters with respect to the Securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Rosenman & Colin, LLP of New York, New York and Hunton & Williams of Richmond, Virginia. Robert L. Kohl, a member of Rosenman & Colin, LLP, owns 1,041 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Certain legal matters will also be passed upon by Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz of New York, counsel for the underwriters, and by such other counsel for the underwriters or agents as are identified in any Prospectus Supplement. Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz performs legal services for the Company from time to time. EXPERTS The financial statements incorporated in this Prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of Price Waterhouse LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. 20 21 PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 14.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, in certain circumstances the Company is authorized to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities (including reasonable defense expenses) they may incur in proceedings in which they are named as parties because of their positions as directors and officers of the Company. Pursuant to this authorization, the shareholders have adopted the SIXTH Article of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation. This Article provides that in any proceeding brought by a shareholder in the right of the Company or on behalf of the shareholders, no director or officer of the Company shall be liable for monetary damages exceeding $50,000 with respect to any transaction, occurrence or course of conduct unless such person engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law or of any federal or state securities law. The Article further provides that the Company shall indemnify any director or officer who is a party to any proceeding (including a proceeding brought by a shareholder in behalf of the Company or the Company's shareholders) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company against any liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, unless he or she engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law. In addition, the Company will pay or reimburse all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the director or officer in connection with such proceeding in advance of the disposition of the proceeding if certain conditions are met. In general, all indemnification will be made in accordance with Section 13.1-701 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act. As authorized in the Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has adopted a By-Law provision under which the Company will indemnify its directors and II-1 22 officers in comparable manner against liabilities they may incur when serving at the Company's request as directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations or certain other enterprises. The Company carries primary and excess "Executive Liability and Indemnification" insurance covering certain liabilities incurred by the directors, elected officers, and certain appointed officers of the Company in the performance of their duties. Coverage is either on a direct basis or through reimbursement of amounts expended by the Company for indemnification of these individuals. Subject to certain deductibles, the insurers will pay or reimburse all covered costs incurred up to an annual aggregate of $50 million. Coverage is excluded for purchases or sales of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, deliberately fraudulent or willful violations of any statute or regulation, illegal personal gain, and certain other acts.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the II-3 24 offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement will be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act. II-4 25 SIGNATURES THE REGISTRANT.

(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. (c) At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. (d) Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange will (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, 3.05, or 10.06 not involving any transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 calendar days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 3.02(c) and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not being redeemed. (e) All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities will be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Securities registered in the name of, II-39 33 any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee thereof, and no such transfer may be registered, unless (i) such Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so transferable, registrable, and exchangeable, and such transfers shall be registrable, (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities evidenced by such Global Security, or (iv) there shall exist such other circumstances, if any, as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 2.01. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, a Global Security to which the restriction set forth in the preceding sentence shall have ceased to apply may be transferred only to, and may be registered and exchanged for Securities registered only in the name or names of, such Person or Persons as the Depositary for such Global Security shall have directed and no transfer thereof other than such a transfer may be registered. Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security to which the restriction set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.05(f) shall apply, whether pursuant to this Section 2.05, Section 2.06, 2.07, 3.05, or 10.06 or otherwise, will be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and will be, a Global Security. Section 2.06. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and register and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed, lithographed, or typewritten), of 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 officers executing such Securities as evidenced by their execution of such Securities; provided, however that the Company will use reasonable efforts to have definitive Securities of that series available at the times of any issuance of Securities under this Indenture. Every temporary Security will be executed and registered by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. The Company will execute and register and furnish definitive Securities of such series as soon as practicable and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment for that series, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. Such exchange will be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge to the Holder therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series authenticated and delivered hereunder. Section 2.07. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST, AND STOLEN SECURITIES. II-40 34 (a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. (b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost, or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. (c) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. (d) Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. (e) Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in exchange for any mutilated Security or in lieu of any destroyed, lost, or stolen Security will constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. (f) The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Securities. Section 2.08. CANCELLATION OF SURRENDERED SECURITIES. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any sinking fund payment will, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and will be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any SECURITIES PREVIOUSLY AUTHENTICATED and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered will II-41 35 be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities will be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 2.08, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy all cancelled Securities held by the Trustee and shall send a certificate of such destruction to the Company. Section 2.09. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. (a) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.01 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. (b) Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company together with interest thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate of interest applicable to such Security, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below: (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (and interest thereon, if any) to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which will be fixed in the following manner. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest (and interest thereon, if any) proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company will deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest (and interest thereon, if any) or will make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest (and interest thereon, if any) as in this clause (i) provided. Thereupon the Trustee will fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (and interest thereon, if any) which will be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than lO calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee will promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, will cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest (and interest thereon, if any) II-42 36 and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest will be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and will no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii). (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest (and interest thereon, if any) on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (ii), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. (c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security will carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. Section 2.10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 2.09) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustees nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will be affected by notice to the contrary. Section 2.11. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Section 2.12. CUSIP NUMBERS. The Company in issuing any series of the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such series, the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange with respect to such series PROVIDED that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any II-43 37 defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. ARTICLE III. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES. Section 3.01. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity will be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article III. Section 3.02. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. (a) The election of the Company to redeem any Securities will be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company will, at least 60 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company will furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. (b) Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company will be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and will be irrevocable. Notice of redemption will be given by mail, first class postage prepaid, not less than 30 or more than 60 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption will state (i) the Redemption Date, (ii) the Redemption Price, (iii) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed, (iv) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, (v) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, (vi) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and (vii) the specific provision of this Indenture pursuant to which such Securities are to be redeemed. (c) If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed will be selected not more than 60 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee may deem fair and II-44 38 appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. (d) For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities will relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. Section 3.03. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. Prior to 10:00 a.m. on any Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 6.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on, all of the Securities that are to be redeemed on that date. Section 3.04. SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE. (a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed will, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities will cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security will be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates in accordance with their terms and the provisions of Section 2.09. (b) If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium will, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. Section 3.05. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. Any Security that is to be redeemed only in part will be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company II-45 39 and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. ARTICLE IV. SINKING FUNDS. Section 4.01. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. The provisions of this Article IV will be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. 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." If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 4.02. Each sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of a particular series will be applied to the redemption of Securities of such series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. Section 4.02. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES. The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities will be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment will be reduced accordingly. Section 4.03. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND. Not less than 60 calendar days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting II-46 40 Securities of that series pursuant to Section 4.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 calendar days before each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02(c) and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02(b). Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities will be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.04 and 3.05. ARTICLE V.

Section 5.02. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Company's exercise of the option provided in Section 5.01 to have this Section 5.02 applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series and subject to the proviso to Section 5.01, the Company will be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section 5.02 on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 5.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar as the Securities of such series are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, will execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 5.04 and as more fully set forth in Section 5.04, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities of such series when payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to the Securities of such series under Sections 2.05,2.06,2.07, 6.02, 6.03, and 10.06, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and (d) this Article V. Subject to compliance with this Article V, the Company may exercise its option provided in Section 5.01 to have this Section 5.02 applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series notwithstanding the prior II-47 41 exercise of its option provided in Section 5.01 to have Section 5.03 applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series. Section 5.03. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Company's exercise of the option provided in Section 5.01 to have this Section 5.03 applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series, (a) the Company will be released from its obligations under Sections 6.04 through 6.11, inclusive, Section 11.01, and the provisions of any Supplemental Indenture specified in such Supplemental Indenture, and (b) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 8.01(a)(iii), 8.01(a)(iv) (with respect to any of Sections 6.04 through 6.11, inclusive, Section 11.01, and the provisions of any Supplemental Indenture specified in such Supplemental Indenture), 8.01(a)(v), and 8.01(a)(viii) will be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 5.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the Company may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition, or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 8.01(a)(iv)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series will be unaffected thereby.

II-49 43 (i) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless such trust will be qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation thereunder.

Section 5.06. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article V with respect to the Securities of any series by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining, or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article V with respect to Securities of such series until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 5.05 with respect to Securities of such series in accordance with this Article V; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series following the reinstatement of its II-50 44 obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

(b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Section 6.03. MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. (a) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. II-51 45 (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. (c) The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent will agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.03, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obliger upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, and upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. (d) The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent will be released from all further liability with respect to such money. (e) Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, or interest has become due and payable will be paid to the Company upon a Company Request (or, if then held by the Company, will be discharged from such trust); and the Holder of such Security will thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 calendar days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary of the Company to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair, and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments, and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that nothing in this Section 6.05 will prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary of the Company and will not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Section 6.06. EXISTENCE. Subject to Article XI, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory), and franchises; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be required to preserve any such right or franchise, or its existence in the case of any Subsidiary, if the Company determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof will not result in a Material Adverse Effect. Section 6.07. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable federal, state, local, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, or ordinances, including without limitation such laws, rules, regulations, or ordinances relating to pension, environmental, employee, and tax matters, in each case to the extent that the failure so to comply would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.09. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision, or condition set forth in Sections 6.04 through 6.07, inclusive, and the provisions of any Supplemental Indenture specified in such Supplemental Indenture, with respect to the Securities of any series if the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision, or condition, but no such waiver will extend to or affect such term, provision, or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision, or condition will remain in full force and effect.

The Trustee will transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

ARTICLE VIII. DEFAULT. Section 8.01. EVENT OF DEFAULT. (a) "Event of Default," wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it may be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or II-57 51 pursuant to any judgment, decree, or order of any court or any order, rule, or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (i) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 calendar days; (ii) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable; (iii) default in the making of any sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series; (iv) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty, a default in the performance or breach of which is elsewhere in this Section 8.01 specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 calendar 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 of that series 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; (v) any nonpayment at maturity or other default is made under any agreement or instrument relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company (the unpaid principal amount of which is not less than $100 million), and, in any such case, such default (A) continues beyond any period of grace provided with respect thereto and (B) results in such Indebtedness becoming due prior to its stated maturity or occurs at the final maturity of such Indebtedness; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01 and 8.08, the Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of such nonpayment or other default unless either (1) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of nonpayment or other default or (2) the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from the holder of any such Indebtedness or from the trustee under the agreement or instrument relating to such Indebtedness; (vi) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, II-58 52 receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive calendar days; (vii) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief with respect to the Company under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property pursuant to any such law, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or (viii) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. (b) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 8.01(a)(vi) or (vii)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) will become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a)(vi) or (vii) occurs, then the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. (c) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VIII provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that II-59 53 series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel and (ii) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 8.01(d). No such rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. (d) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default (i) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article X cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver, such default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. Section 8.02. COVENANT OF COMPANY TO PAY TO TRUSTEE WHOLE AMOUNT DUE ON SECURITIES ON DEFAULT IN PAYMENT OF INTEREST OR PRINCIPAL; SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. (a) The Company covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 calendar days or (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security when it becomes due and payable, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest will be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as will be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel. (b) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial II-60 54 proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. (c) In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obliger upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee will be authorized to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.06. (d) No provision of this Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or other similar committee. (e) All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee will be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment will, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. Section 8.03. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED BY TRUSTEE. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII will be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: II-61 55 FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.06; SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and THIRD: To the Company. Section 8.04. LIMITATION ON SUITS BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES. No Holder of any Security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series, (b) the Holders of not less than 25 % in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder, (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (d) the Trustee for 60 calendar days after its receipt of such notice, request, and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding, and (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders will 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 of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders. Section 8.05. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY OR OMISSION IN EXERCISE OF RIGHTS NOT A WAIVER OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. (a) Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy will, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The II-62 56 assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. (b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VIII or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. Section 8.06. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF MAJORITY IN PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF OUTSTANDING SECURITIES TO DIRECT TRUSTEE.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; PROVIDED that neither this Section 8.07 nor the Trust Indenture Act will be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company. Section 8.08. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee will give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such Default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of any Default of the character specified in Section 8.01(a)(iv) with respect to Securities of such series no such notice to Holders will be given until at least 30 calendar days after the occurrence thereof.

Section 8.10. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. Section 8.11. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIMS. The Trustee may 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 the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceeding relative to the Company or the Subsidiaries (or any other obligor upon the Securities), their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same, and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder.

Section 9.03. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. II-65 59 The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, may be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar, or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 9.07 and 9.12, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, or such other agent. Section 9.05. MONEY HELD IN TRUST. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or by law.

Section 9.08. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED ELIGIBILITY. There will at all times be one or more Trustees hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, at least one of which will be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and its Corporate Trust Office or principal office in New York City, or any other major city in the United States that is acceptable to the Company. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining state or federal authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.08, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.08, it will resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article IX. Section 9.09. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article IX will become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 9.10. (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 9.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 calendar days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may at the expense of the Company petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. (d) If, at any time, (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.07 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, (ii) the Trustee ceases to be eligible under II-67 61 Section 9.08 and fails to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or (iii) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting or is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property is appointed or any public officer takes 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, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or (B) subject to Section 8.07, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. (e) If the Trustee resigns, is removed, or becomes incapable of acting, or if a vacancy occurs in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company by a Board Resolution will promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there will be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and will comply with the applicable requirements of Section 9.10. If, within one year after such resignation, removal, or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series is appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 9.10, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 9.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. (f) The Company will give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 13.03. Each notice will include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office. Section 9.10. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed will execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument II-68 62 accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee, but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee will, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Trustee and will duly assign, transfer, and deliver to such Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee, and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series will execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein such successor Trustee will accept such appointment and which (i) will contain such provisions as may be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, will contain such provisions as may be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring will continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) will add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as may be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture will constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee will be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee will duly assign, transfer, and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company will execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all applicable rights, powers, and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9.10. (d) No successor Trustee will accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee is qualified and eligible under this Article IX. II-69 63 Section 9.11. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION, OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Trustee may be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, will be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation is otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article IX, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion, or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. Section 9.12. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. If and when the Trustee is or becomes a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee will be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). Section 9.13. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. (a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which will be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer, or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 2.07, and Securities so authenticated will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and will be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference will be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.13, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent will be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.13, such Authenticating Agent will resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 9.13. II-70 64 (b) Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent may be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, will continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 9.13, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. (c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions this Section 9.13, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and will mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder will become vested with all the rights, powers, and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent will be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 9.13. (d) The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 9.13. (e) If an appointment with respect to one or more series of Securities is made pursuant to this Section 9.13, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative form of certificate of authentication in the following form: This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

All the covenants, stipulations, promises, and agreements in this Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company will bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. Section 13.02. SERVICE OF REQUIRED NOTICE TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with (a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished, or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Department or (b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder will be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at 4500 Dorr Street, Toledo, Ohio 43615, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. Section 13.03. SERVICE OF REQUIRED NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice will be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any, and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver will be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders will be filed with the Trustee, but such filing will not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it will be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as may be made with the approval of the Trustee will constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. II-77 71 Section 13.04. INDENTURE AND SECURITIES TO BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Indenture and the Securities will be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes will be construed in accordance with the laws of said State without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws of such State. Section 13.05. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS. Upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Company will furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as may be required under the Trust Indenture Act. Each such certificate or opinion will be given in the form of an Officer's Certificate, if to be given by an officer of the Company, or an Opinion of Counsel, if to be given by counsel, and will comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and any other requirements set forth in this Indenture. Section 13.06. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. Where any Person is required to make, give, or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions, or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. Section 13.07. PAYMENTS DUE ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision will apply in lieu of this Section 13.07)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, PROVIDED that interest will accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, or Stated Maturity, as the case may be. Section 13.08. PROVISIONS REQUIRED BY TRUST INDENTURE ACT TO CONTROL. II-78 72 If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies, or conflicts with the duties imposed on any Person by Sections 310 to and including 317 of the Trust Indenture Act (including provisions automatically deemed included in this Indenture pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act unless this Indenture provides that such provisions are excluded), which are deemed to be a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not contained herein, then such imposed duties will control. Section 13.09. INVALIDITY OF PARTICULAR PROVISIONS. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Indenture or in the Securities is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities, but this Indenture and such Securities will be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein. Section 13.10. INDENTURE MAY BE EXECUTED IN COUNTERPARTS. This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original, but such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same instrument. Section 13.11. ACTS OF HOLDERS; RECORD DATES. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action will become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent will be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 9.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 13.11. (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit will also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the II-79 73 authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. (c) The ownership of Securities will be proved by the Security Register. (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other Act of the Holder of any Security will bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted, or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. (e) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, set any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. With regard to any record date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, will be entitled to give or take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. With regard to any action that may be given or taken hereunder only by Holders of a requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series (or their duly appointed agents) and for which a record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its option, set an expiration date after which no such action purported to be given or taken by any Holder will be effective hereunder unless given or taken on or prior to such expiration date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents). On or prior to any expiration date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, on one or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date. Nothing in this paragraph will prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent thereof) from giving or taking, after any such expiration date, any action identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different from, the action or purported action to which such expiration date relates, in which event the Company may set a record date in respect thereof pursuant to this paragraph. Nothing in this Section 13.11(e) will be construed to render ineffective any action taken at any time by the Holders (or their duly appointed agents) of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is so taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the Trust Indenture Act, the Company will not set a record date for, and the provisions of this Section 13.1l(e) will not apply with respect to, any notice, declaration, or direction referred to in the next paragraph. (f) Upon receipt by the Trustee from any Holder of Securities of a particular series of (a) any notice of default or breach referred to in Section 8.01(a)(iv) or 8.01(a)(v) with respect to Securities of such series, if such default or breach has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee shall not have given such notice to the Company, (b) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 8.01(b), if an Event of Default with respect II-80 74 to Securities of such series has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee shall not have given such a declaration to the Company, or (c) any direction referred to in Section 8.06 with respect to Securities of such series, if the Trustee shall not have taken the action specified in such direction, then a record date will automatically and without any action by the Company or the Trustee be set for determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such notice, declaration, or direction, which record date will be the close of business on the tenth calendar day following the day on which the Trustee receives such notice, declaration, or direction. Promptly after such receipt by the Trustee, and in any case not later than the fifth calendar day thereafter, the Trustee will notify the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series of any such record date so fixed. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, will be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; PROVIDED that, unless such notice, declaration, or direction shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th calendar day after such record date, such notice, declaration, or direction will automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this Section 13.11(f) will be construed to prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a notice, declaration, or direction contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, the notice, declaration, or direction to which such record date relates, in which event a new record date in respect thereof will be set pursuant to this Section 13.11(f). Nothing in this Section 13.11(f) will be construed to render ineffective any notice, declaration, or direction of the type referred to in this Section 13.11(f) given at any time to the Trustee and the Company by Holders (or their duly appointed agents) of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such notice, declaration, or direction is so given. (g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any different part of such principal amount. Section 13.12. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and will not affect the construction hereof. Section 13.13. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, will give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under this Indenture. II-81 75 In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the day and year first above written.
