INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY LIMITED DEBT SECURITIES
 UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT STANDARD PROVISIONS
 
May 24, 2005
 
From time to time Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company (the "Company") proposes to enter into one or more Pricing Agreements (each a "Pricing Agreement") in the form of Annex I hereto, with such additions and deletions as the parties thereto may determine, and, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and therein, to issue and sell to the firms named in Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement (such firms constituting the "Underwriters" with respect to such Pricing Agreement) certain of its debt securities (the "Securities") specified in Schedule II to such Pricing Agreement (the Securities so specified being referred to herein as the "Designated Securities"). The Designated Securities may be guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey corporation and a subsidiary of the Company (the “Guarantor”) (any such guaranteed Designated Securities, the “Guaranteed Securities”). If the Designated Securities are Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor will also enter into the Pricing Agreement with respect thereto.
 
1.    The terms and rights of the issuance of the Designated Securities shall be specified in Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement and in or pursuant to the indenture (the "Indenture") identified in such Pricing Agreement. Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to time to the Underwriters of such Securities, for whom the firm or firms designated as representatives of the Underwriters of such Securities in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto will act as representative (the "Representative"). The term "Representative" also refers to Underwriters who act without any firm being designated as their representative. These Underwriting Agreement Standard Provisions shall not be construed as an obligation of the Company to sell or the Guarantor to guarantee any of the Securities or as an obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities. The obligation of the Company to issue and sell any of the Securities, the obligation of the Guarantor to issue any Guarantee and the obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase any of the Securities shall be evidenced by the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified therein. Each Pricing Agreement shall specify the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities, the initial public offering price of such Designated Securities, the purchase price to the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the names of the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the names of the Representatives of such Underwriters, whether the Designated Securities are Guaranteed Securities and the principal amount of such Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter and shall set forth the date, time and manner of delivery of such Designated Securities and payment therefor. The Pricing Agreement shall also specify (to the extent not set forth in the Indenture and the registration statement and prospectus with respect thereto) the terms of such Designated Securities. A Pricing Agreement shall be in the form of an executed writing (which may be in counterparts), and may be evidenced by an exchange of facsimile communications or any other rapid transmission device designated to produce a written record of communications transmitted. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be several and not joint.

2.    The Company, and if the Designated Securities are Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor, jointly and severally represent and warrant to, and agree with, each of the Underwriters that:
 
(a)    A registration statement in respect of the Securities and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantees and more particularly described in the applicable Pricing Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in the form heretofore delivered or to be delivered to the Representative, and such registration statement in such form has been declared effective by the Commission and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission (any preliminary prospectus included in such registration statement being hereinafter called a "Preliminary Prospectus"); if any post-effective amendment to such registration statement has been filed with the Commission prior to the date of the applicable Pricing Agreement, the most recent such amendment has been declared effective by the Commission; "Effective Date" means the date as of which such registration statement, or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto, if any, was declared effective by the Commission; such registration statement, as amended at the Effective Date, including all material incorporated by reference therein and, if the date of the Pricing Agreement is on or before the fifteenth business day after the Effective Date, including all information deemed to be a part thereof as of the Effective Date pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), is hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement," and the form of prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, as first filed pursuant to paragraph (1) or (4) of Rule 424(b) ("Rule 424(b)") under the Act or, if the date of the Pricing Agreement is after the fifteenth business day after the Effective Date, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) or (5), as such form of prospectus may be supplemented as contemplated by Section 1 to reflect the terms of the Designated Securities and the terms of offering thereof, including all documents incorporated by reference therein, is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus"; any reference herein to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to the applicable form under the Act, as of the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference to any amendment or supplement to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and incorporated therein by reference);

(x)    The issue and sale of the Designated Securities and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Designated Securities, the Indenture, this Agreement and the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument which is material to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole and is known to such counsel to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries is subject, nor will such action will not result in any violation of any statute or any order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties; and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body is required for the issue and sale of the Designated Securities or the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or such Pricing Agreement or the Indenture, except such as have been obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Designated Securities by the Underwriters;

10

(xi)    In the case of Guaranteed Securities, the issue and sale of the Designated Securities and the Guarantee and the compliance by the Guarantor with all of the provisions of the Guarantee, the Indenture, this Agreement and the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Guarantor pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument which is material to the Company, the Guarantor and its subsidiaries taken as a whole and is known to such counsel to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Guarantor or any of its significant subsidiaries is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or the By-Laws, as amended, of the Guarantor or any statute or any order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Guarantor or any of its properties; and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body is required for the issue and sale of the Guarantee or the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or such Pricing Agreement or the Indenture, except such as have been obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Designated Securities by the Underwriters;
 
(xii)    The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented (other than the financial statements and related schedules therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and such counsel has no reason to believe that any of such documents, when they became effective or were so filed, as the case may be, contained, in the case of a registration statement which became effective under the Act, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, in the case of other documents which were filed under the Act or the Exchange Act with the Commission, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such documents were so filed, not misleading; and

11

(xiii)    The Registration Statement, as of its effective date, and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any further amendments and supplements thereto made by the Company prior to the Time of Delivery for the Designated Securities as of its date (other than the financial statements and related schedules therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; such counsel has no reason to believe that, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and related schedules therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that, as of its date and as of the Time of Delivery, the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented (other than the financial statements and related schedules therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and such counsel does not know of any contracts or other documents of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or required to be incorporated by reference into the Prospectus as amended or supplemented or required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented which are not filed or incorporated by reference or described as required;
 
(e)    The Trustee shall have furnished to the Representative a certificate, dated the Time of Delivery, as to its due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and its due authentication of the Designated Securities;
 
(f)    At the Time of Delivery, the independent accountants who have certified the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall have furnished to the Representative a letter, dated the Time of Delivery, of the type described in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72 covering such matters as the Representative may reasonably request and in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative;

12

(g)    Since the effective date of the Registration Statement (or any post-effective amendment thereto) no event shall have occurred which should have been set forth in an amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the Prospectus but which has not been so set forth, and since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus there shall not have been any change or any development involving a prospective change in or affecting the business and operations, financial position, shareholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, the effect of which is in the reasonable judgment of the Representative so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
 
(h)    Subsequent to the date of the applicable Pricing Agreement there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.; (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York State authorities; (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement or clearance services; or (iv) the outbreak or material escalation of hostilities involving the United States or Bermuda or the declaration, on or after the date hereof, by the United States or Bermuda of a national emergency or war if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (iv) in the reasonable judgment of the Representative makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
 
(i)    Each of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Representative at the Time of Delivery a certificate or certificates of officers of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor herein at and as of the Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor of all of their obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to the Time of Delivery, and as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (g) of this Section; and
 
(j)    Subsequent to the execution of the applicable Pricing Agreement, there shall not have been (i) any decrease in the ratings of any of the debt securities of the Company or the Guarantor by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation and (ii) Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation shall not have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of the debt securities of the Company or the Guarantor.

13

8.    (a) Each of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that neither the Company nor, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Prospectus relating to such Designated Securities; provided further, however, that the foregoing indemnity with respect to preliminary prospectuses shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Designated Securities if such untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus is eliminated or remedied in the Prospectus relating to such Securities and if a copy of the Prospectus relating to such Securities (excluding documents incorporated by reference) has not been sent or given to such person at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person.
 
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any other prospectus relating to the Designated Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor by such Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

14

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection.   In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same counsel would be inappropriate (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests or defenses between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel or participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the Representative in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 8, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action). No indemnifying party will (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

15

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Designated Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.
 
(e) The obligations of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions to each officer and director of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor and to each person, if any, who controls the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor within the meaning of the Act.

16

9.    (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligations to purchase the Designated Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the Pricing Agreement, the Representative may in its discretion arrange for any Underwriter or Underwriters or another party or other parties to purchase such Designated Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representative does not arrange for the purchase of such Designated Securities, then the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representative to purchase such Designated Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representative notifies the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, or either of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor notifies the Representative that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, the Representative, the Company or, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and each of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representative may thereby be made necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to the Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities.
 
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangement for the purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representative, the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Designated Securities, then the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of such Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Designated Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
 
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representative, the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities, or if the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Company or, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

17

10.    The respective indemnities, agreements, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor or any officer or director or controlling person of the Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities.
 
11.    If the applicable Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof, neither the Company nor, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Designated Securities except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof; but if for any other reason Designated Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor will jointly and severally reimburse the Underwriters through the Representative for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representative, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of such Designated Securities, but the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Designated Securities except as provided in Section 6 and Section 8 hereof.
 
12.    In all dealings hereunder, the Representative shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representative.
 
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing or by facsimile, and if to the Underwriters shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of the Representative as set forth in the applicable Pricing Agreement; if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail in care of the Guarantor to the address of the Guarantor set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, with a copy to: Senior Vice President and General Counsel; if to the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of the Guarantor set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, with a copy to: Senior Vice President and General Counsel; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by registered mail to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire, or facsimile constituting such Questionnaire, which address has been supplied to the Company by the Representative.

18

13.    This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) and, to the extent provided in Section 8 and Section 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) and each person who controls the Company, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
 
14.    Time shall be of the essence in connection with each Pricing Agreement.
 
15.    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein.
 
16.    This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts (including by means of facsimile), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 302.   Denominations .
 
The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301.

26

SECTION 303.   Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating .
 
The Securities shall be executed, manually or by facsimile, on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, a Deputy Chairman of the Board, its President, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise, and which need not be attested.
 
The Guarantees endorsed on any Guaranteed Securities shall be executed, manually or by facsimile, on behalf of the Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents and by its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers or its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise, and which need not be attested.
 
Securities or Guarantees bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall bind the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or Guarantees or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities or Guarantees.
 
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for the Securities of such series for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and such Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor, as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, such Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel of the Company and , if the Securities are Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor, stating,
 
(a)    if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution of the Company as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
 
(b)    if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution of the Company and, if the Securities are Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor, as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
 
(c)    that such Securities and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantees endorsed thereon, when authenticated and delivered by such Trustee and issued by the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles ; and

27

(d)    that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, by the Guarantor of such Guarantees have been complied with.
 
If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if such Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect such Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to such Trustee.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if not all the Securities of any series are to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing prior to or at the time of issuance of each Security, but such documents shall be delivered prior to or at the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.
 
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
 
No Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee for the Securities of such series by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and, together with the Guarantee, if any, endorsed thereon, is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
 
SECTION 304.   Temporary Securities .
 
Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any particular series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor, of the tenor of the definitive Guarantee, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officer executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by his or her execution of such Securities.
 
If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon the Guarantee by the Guarantor. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

28

SECTION 305.   Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange .
 
The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for the Securities of each series a register (the register maintained at such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee for the Securities of each series is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.
 
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 shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of each series shall 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, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.
 
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, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.
 
All Securities and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, Guarantees endorsed thereon issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, Guarantees endorsed thereon, shall be the valid obligations of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor, respectively evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, Guarantees endorsed thereon surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
 
Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee for the Securities of such series) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.
 
No service charge shall 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 Sections 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

29

The Company shall 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 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 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 the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.
 
If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute (along with, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor endorsed thereon) and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the U.S. Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such depositary, and (iii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “This Security (and in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the related Guarantee) may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary, unless and until this Security is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form” and such other legend as may be required by the U.S. Depositary.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, a Global Security (and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the related Guarantee) representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the U.S. Depositary for such series to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor U.S. Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor depositary.
 
If at any time the U.S. Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as U.S. Depositary for the Securities of such series or if any time the U.S. Depositary for Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor U.S. Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor U.S. Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities and in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.

30

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such Series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.
 
If the Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company will promptly execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.
 
If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Securities of a series, the U.S. Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, without charge:
 
(i)    to each Person specified by the U.S. Depositary a new registered Security or Securities of the same series, of an authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor; and
 
(ii)    to the U.S. Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.
 
Upon the exchange of a Global Security in whole for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee for the Securities of such series. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the U.S. Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee for the Securities of such series. Such Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

31

 
SECTION 306.   Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities .
 
If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee for the series of such Securities, the Company shall execute and such Trustee shall 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, and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.
 
If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee for the series of such Securities (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 such Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request such Trustee shall 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, and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.
 
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
 
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee for the series of such Securities) connected therewith.
 
Every new Security of any series and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantee endorsed thereon, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor, respectively, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.
 
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
 
SECTION 307.   Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved .
 
Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:
 
(1)    The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee for the Securities of such series in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with such Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon such Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by such Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. Such Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall 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 shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).
 
(2)    The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by such Trustee.
 
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

SECTION 502.   Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment .
 
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee for the Securities of such series or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to such Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of such Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.
 
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee for the Securities of such series as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) and such Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(D)    all sums paid or advanced by such Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel; and
 
(2)    all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of and accrued interest on Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.
 
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.
 
SECTION 503.   Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee .

(1)    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 days, or

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee for the Securities of such series, 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 premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel.
 
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, such Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

42

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as such 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.

(ii)   to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
 
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of such Securities to make such payments to such Trustee and, in the event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Holders, to pay to such Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Trustee under Section 607.
 
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee for the Securities of any series 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, the Guarantees (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize such Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

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 such series shall not have been appointed by the Company pursuant to this Section 610, then a successor Trustee may be 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.

(c)    Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers, and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

54

(d)    No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee for the Securities of any series shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.
 
SECTION 612.   Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business .
 
Any corporation into which the Trustee for the Securities of any series 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 Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for such series then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee or Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities.
 
SECTION 613.   Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company or the Guarantor .
 
If and when the Trustee of any series of Securities shall be or become a creditor of the Company or, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, the Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), such Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the company (or any such other obligor).
 
SECTION 614.   Authenticating Agents .
 
From time to time the Trustee of any series of Securities, in its sole discretion, may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with respect to the Securities of such series, which may include the Company, the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor, with power to act on the Trustee’s behalf and subject to its discretion in the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series or in connection with transfers and exchanges under Sections 304, 305, 306 and 1107 as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections of this Indenture to authenticate and deliver Securities of such series. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series by an Authenticating Agent for such Securities pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Securities “by the Trustee” for the Securities of such series. Any such 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, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 and, if other than the Company, the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor, subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

55

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation or to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.
 
Any Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent for such series by giving written notice of termination 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 any Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Company, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of such series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.
 
The Trustee for any series of Securities agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for such series from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and such Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 607.
 
If an appointment with respect to one or more series of Securities is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

The net amount of rent required to be paid for any such period shall be the aggregate amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to such period after excluding amounts required to be paid on account of, or measured or determined by, any variable factor, including, without limitation, the cost-of-living index and costs of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar charges and after excluding any portion of rentals based on a percentage of sales made by the lessee. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated;

SECTION 1102.   Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee .
 
The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the Securities of such series), notify such Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed, such notice to be accompanied by a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to the Securities of that series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured). 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 shall furnish the Trustee for the Securities of such series with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.
 
SECTION 1103.   Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed .
 
If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of that series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee for the Securities of such series, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as such Trustee shall deem fair and 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.
 
Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Company or (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) the Guarantor or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement which is an Affiliate of the Company or (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) the Guarantor.

72

The Trustee for the Securities of such series shall promptly notify the Company and (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) the Guarantor 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.
 
For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any 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 1104.   Notice of Redemption .
 
Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his or her address appearing in the Security Register.
 
All notices of redemption shall state:
 
(1)    the Redemption Date;
 
(2)    the Redemption Price;
 
(3)    if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed;
 
(4)    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;
 
(5)    the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and
 
(6)    that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.
 
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee for such Securities in the name and at the expense of the Company.

73

SECTION 1105.   Deposit of Redemption Price .
 
At least one Business Day prior to any Redemption Date, the Company or (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) the Guarantor shall deposit with the Trustee for the Securities to be redeemed or with a Paying agent (or, if the Company or (in the case of Guaranteed Securities) the Guarantor is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date (to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit at such time in accordance with the provisions of Section 401, 403 or 1006).
 
SECTION 1106.   Securities Payable on Redemption Date .
 
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.
 
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.
 
SECTION 1107.   Securities Redeemed in Part .
 
Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee for such Security so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and such Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, and, in the case of Guaranteed Securities, having endorsed thereon the Guarantee executed by the Guarantor, 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.

74

 
ARTICLE TWELVE
 SINKING FUNDS
 
SECTION 1201.   Applicability of Article .
 
The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 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 cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.
 
SECTION 1202.   Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities .
 
In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee for such Securities, Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Company or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company and delivered to such Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 309, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by such Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.
 
SECTION 1203.   Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund .
 
Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee for the Securities of such series an Officer’s Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 102) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest, if any, with respect to Securities of that series and no Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series have occurred (which in either case have not been waived or cured) and (a) specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, (b) whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right, if any, to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series on the next ensuing sinking fund payment date and, if so, the amount of such optional sinking fund payment, and (c) the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and will also deliver to such Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such written statement shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by such Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such 60 th day, to deliver such written statement and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect therefor and (ii) that the Company will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

75

Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee for any series of Securities shall select the Securities of such series to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 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 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1105, 1106 and 1107.
 
The Trustee for any series of Securities shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Security of such series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest with respect to Securities of that series or an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, such Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default, shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 513 or the default or Event of Default cured on or before the 60 th day preceding the sinking fund payment date, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities.

SECTION 1301.   Guarantee .
 
(a)    Subject to the provisions of this Article Thirteen and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Guaranteed Security of each series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee for such Guaranteed Securities hereunder and to such Trustee on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Guaranteed Securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company promptly to make any such payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, the Guarantor hereby agrees to make any such payment to be made promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

76

(b)    The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by any failure to enforce the provisions of such Guaranteed Security or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Guaranteed Security or the Trustee for the Securities of such series or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Guaranteed Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof, or increase the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration or the maturity thereof pursuant to Article Five of this Indenture. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Guaranteed Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or with respect to any sinking fund or analogous payment required under such Guaranteed Security and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Guaranteed Security or as otherwise set forth in this Indenture.
 
(c)    The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Guaranteed Security and the Trustee for the Securities of such series against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided , however , that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.
 
SECTION 1302.   Execution and Delivery of Guarantees .
 
The Guarantees to be endorsed on the Guaranteed Securities of each series shall include the terms of the guarantees set forth in Section 1301 and any other terms that may be set forth in the form established pursuant to Section 206 with respect to such series. The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantees, in a form established pursuant to Section 206, to be endorsed on each Guaranteed Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee for the Securities of such series.
 
The Guarantees shall be executed in accordance with Section 303. The delivery of any Guaranteed Security by the Trustee for the Securities of such series, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 1301 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Guaranteed Security.

77

SECTION 1303.   Notice to Trustee .
 
The Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of any fact known to the Guarantor which prohibits the making of any payment to or by such Trustee in respect of the Guarantee pursuant to the provisions of this Article Thirteen other than any agreement in effect on the date hereof.
 
SECTION 1304.   This Article Not to Prevent Events of Default .
 
The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Guaranteed Securities by reason of any provision of this Article will not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.
 
SECTION 1305.   Amendment, Etc.
 
No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture relating to the Guarantor or consent to any departure by the Guarantor or any other person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by the Guarantor and the Trustee for the Securities of such series.
 
SECTION 1306.   Limitation on Liability.
 
The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount, as will not result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, after giving effect to all other relevant liabilities of the Guarantor.
