ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, an Ohio Corporation (the "Company" or "DDR"), a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (a "REIT"), is in the business of acquiring, developing, redeveloping, owning, leasing and managing shopping centers and business centers. Unless otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or DDR includes Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries and its joint ventures.
From January 1, 1997 to March 15, 2000, the Company has acquired 54 shopping center properties, including those owned through joint ventures, five of which were acquired in 1999, 41 of which were acquired in 1998 and eight of which were acquired in 1997. In February 2000, the Company sold one property. The Company also contributed one property to a 50% joint venture and entered into an agreement to sell 60% of its 50% joint venture interest in a joint venture which owns 10 shopping centers.
The Company's executive offices are located at 3300 Enterprise Parkway, Beachwood, Ohio 44122, and its telephone number is (216) 755-5500.
SHARE SPLIT
Effective August 3, 1998, the Company effected a two for one share split to shareholders of record on July 27, 1998 in the form of a stock dividend. All per share amounts and the number of common shares outstanding reflect this split, unless indicated otherwise.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
The Company is in the business of managing, operating, leasing, acquiring, developing and investing in shopping centers and business centers. See the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain information required by Item 1.
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Since 1965, the Company and Developers Diversified Group ("DDG"), its predecessor, have owned and managed approximately 342 shopping centers and business centers. The Company's portfolio as of March 15, 2000, not including those properties owned through the Company's minority equity investment, consisted of 184 shopping centers and one business center (including 44 properties which are owned through joint ventures) and approximately 119 undeveloped acres (of which approximately 9 acres are owned through joint ventures) (the "Portfolio Properties"). From January 1, 1997 to March 15, 2000, the Company has acquired 54 shopping centers, including those owned through joint ventures, containing an aggregate of 11.1 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") owned by the Company for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion. During 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Company completed expansions at 34 of its shopping centers.
As of March 15, 2000, the Company was expanding three shopping centers and expects to commence expansions at additional shopping centers in 2000. The Company has also substantially completed the development of twelve shopping centers since December 31, 1996, at an aggregate cost of approximately $525 million aggregating approximately 3.9 million square feet of GLA. As of March 15, 2000, the Company had fourteen shopping centers under development.
The Company's shopping centers were approximately 95.7% leased as of December 31, 1999. On December 31, 1999, the average annualized base rent per square foot of Company-owned GLA of the shopping centers was $9.20.
The Company is self-administered and self-managed and, therefore, does not engage or pay for a REIT advisor. The Company manages all of the Portfolio Properties. At December 31, 1999, the Company owned and/or managed approximately 47.3 million total square feet of GLA, which included all of the Portfolio Properties and 21 properties owned by third parties.
STRATEGY AND PHILOSOPHY
The Company's investment objective is to increase cash flow and the value of its portfolio of properties and to seek continued growth through the selective acquisition, development, redevelopment, renovation and expansion of income-producing real estate properties, primarily shopping centers. In addition, the Company may also pursue the disposition of certain real estate assets and utilize the proceeds to repay debt, repurchase the Company's common shares, reinvest in other real estate assets and developments and for other corporate purposes. In pursuing its investment objective, the Company will continue to seek to acquire and develop high quality, well-located shopping centers and business centers with attractive initial yields and strong prospects for future cash flow growth and capital appreciation where the Company's financial strength and management and leasing capabilities can enhance value.
Management believes that opportunities to acquire existing shopping centers have been and will continue to be available to buyers with access to capital markets and institutional investors, such as the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
The Company's real estate strategy and philosophy is to grow its business through a combination of leasing, expansion, acquisition and development. The Company seeks to:
- increase cash flows and property values through strategic leasing, re-tenanting, renovation and expansion of the Company's portfolio;
- continue to selectively acquire well-located, quality shopping centers (individually or in portfolio transactions) which have leases at rental rates below market rates or other cash flow growth or capital appreciation potential where the Company's financial strength, relationships with retailers and management capabilities can enhance value;
- increase cash flows and property values by continuing to take advantage of attractive financing and refinancing opportunities (see "Recent Developments -- Financings");
- increase per share cash flows through the selective disposition of certain real estate assets and utilizing the proceeds to repay debt, repurchase of the Company's common shares and for other corporate purposes;
- selectively develop the Company's undeveloped parcels or new sites in areas with attractive demographics;
- hold properties for long-term investment and place a strong emphasis on regular maintenance, periodic renovation and capital improvements; and
- continue to manage and develop the properties of others to generate fee income, subject to restrictions imposed by federal income tax laws, and create opportunities for acquisitions.
As part of its ongoing business the Company engages in discussions with public and private real estate entities regarding possible portfolio or asset acquisitions or business combinations.
In addition, the Company intends to maintain a conservative debt capitalization ratio. At December 31, 1999, the Company's debt to total market capitalization ratio, excluding the Company's proportionate share of non- recourse indebtedness of its unconsolidated joint ventures, was approximately 0.48 to 1.0; and at March 15, 2000 this ratio was approximately 0.49 to 1.0. At December 31, 1999, the Company's capitalization consisted of $1.2 billion of debt (excluding the Company's proportionate share of joint venture mortgage debt aggregating $466.6 million), $413.8 million of preferred stock and preferred operating partnership units and $826.7 billion of market equity. (Market equity is defined as common shares outstanding and operating partnership units outstanding multiplied by the closing price of common shares on the New York Stock Exchange at December 31, 1999 of $12.875.) At December 31, 1999, the Company's total debt consisted of $751.0 million of fixed-rate debt and $401.1 million of variable rate debt. Fluctuations in the market price of the Company's common shares may cause this ratio to vary from time to time.
The strategy, philosophy, investment and financing policies of the Company, and its policies with respect to certain other activities, including its growth, debt capitalization, distributions, status as a REIT and operating policies, are determined by the Board of Directors. Although it has no present intention to do so, the Board of Directors may amend or revise these policies from time to time without a vote of the shareholders of the Company.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Financings
Through December 31, 1999, the Company purchased in open market transactions 1,860,300 of its common shares, at prices ranging from $12.69 to $14.00, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25.8 million. For the period January 1, 2000 through March 15, 2000, the Company initiated the purchase of an additional 1,368,000 shares, at prices ranging from $11.61 to $12.29, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $16.2 million. In February and August 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the officers of the Company to implement and continue a common share repurchase program in response to what the Company believed was a distinct undervaluation of the Company's common shares in the public market. Under the terms authorized by the Company's Board, as amended in November 1999, the Company may purchase in the open market, subject to certain requirements, common shares of the Company, up to a maximum value of $200 million. The Company may invest proceeds from the sale of assets to purchase these shares. It is not the Company's intention to increase the leverage on its balance sheet to implement this stock repurchase program.
Also in December 1999, one of the Company's joint ventures refinanced its secured mortgage and entered into a ten year fixed rate mortgage for $21.3 million with interest at 8.46%. Additional proceeds from this refinancing of approximately $6.4 million were used to repay a portion of a note payable to the Company.
During 1999, the Prudential/DDR Retail Value Fund ("Fund"), a joint venture in which the Company effectively owns a 25% interest, agreed to acquire the Company's 50% joint venture interests relating to the development of six shopping centers. The Company was reimbursed by the Fund for approximately $74.3 million associated with development costs incurred on each of these projects. The Company also obtained third party financing for three of these projects aggregating approximately $77.1 million with rates ranging from LIBOR plus 175 to LIBOR plus 180. In addition, the Company transferred its interest in a shopping center development in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, to a joint venture in which the Company retained a 25% interest and was reimbursed $2.5 million relating to development costs previously incurred on this project. The Company also sold certain land parcels adjacent to its shopping center in Wilmington, North Carolina, Jacksonville, North Carolina and Erie, Pennsylvania and a portion of a shopping center and residual land in Pensacola, Florida and received aggregate proceeds of approximately $13.9 million.
In September 1999, the Company completed a $75 million private placement of 0.3 million, 8.875% perpetual preferred "down-REIT" partnership units with an institutional investor. The units may be exchanged, under certain circumstances, for Class K, 8.875% cumulative preferred shares. The units may be exchangeable into common shares if the Company fails to pay dividends for six consecutive quarters. The net proceeds of approximately $73.1 million were effectively used to repay approximately $25.8 million in mortgage indebtedness and $40.1 million in convertible debentures which matured on August 15, 1999. The balance of these proceeds was used to repay variable rate borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities.
In March 1999, the Company filed a $750 million shelf registration statement with the SEC pursuant to which the Company may issue senior or subordinated debt securities, common shares, preferred shares or warrants to purchase common shares.
In March 1999, the Company amended its revolving credit facility with National City Bank to increase the available borrowings to $25 million from $20 million, to convert it to a secured facility and to extend the agreement through November 2002. The credit facility is secured by certain partnership investments. The Company also maintains the right to convert the credit facility back to an unsecured credit facility and to reduce the credit facility amount to $20 million.
In January 1999, the Company repaid a third party mortgage of a 50% owned joint venture partnership aggregating approximately $49.2 million. In return, the joint venture entered into a corresponding mortgage note payable to the Company bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In addition, the Company received a loan
origination fee for this transaction of $0.4 million. In March 1999, the joint venture obtained a bridge loan and used the proceeds to repay the mortgage note to the Company. In June 1999, the joint venture entered into a 10 year, fixed rate mortgage for $55.5 million at 7.31%.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued $2.7 million in OP Units in conjunction with the purchase of certain expansion areas at two recently acquired shopping centers and the purchase of joint venture interests. These OP Units are, in certain circumstances and at the election of the Company, exchangeable into approximately 139,000 common shares of the Company or for cash.
Property Acquisitions, Developments and Expansions
During 1999, the Company and its joint ventures completed the acquisition of, or investment in five shopping centers aggregating 0.9 million square feet of Company owned GLA for an aggregate investment of approximately $79.7 million.
In November 1999, the Company acquired, through a 50% owned joint venture, the fourth phase of a shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona which aggregates 125,000 square feet. The total purchase price for the fourth phase of this center aggregated approximately $15.6 million.
In July 1999, the Company acquired Deer Valley Towne Center, a 198,000 square foot shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona, for an aggregate purchase price of $25.8 million. The Company contributed this property in March 2000 to a 50% owned joint venture with DRA Advisors.
In July 1999, the Company purchased the remaining 50% interest of a 289,000 square foot shopping center located in Salisbury, Maryland which was developed through one of the Company's joint ventures. The Company paid approximately $7.3 million for the remaining interest which was funded through the use of cash and the issuance of approximately 47,000 Units.
In April 1999, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a 206,000 square foot shopping center in St. Louis, Missouri. The joint venture's aggregate purchase price was $16.6 million and included the assumption of debt aggregating $13.0 million.
In February 1999, the Company acquired Spring Creek Centre (Phase III), a 65,000 square foot shopping center located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.2 million.
In August 1998, the Company announced a strategic investment in AIP. Through December 31, 1998, the Company acquired 5.9 million common shares of AIP at an aggregate cost of $91.3 million. In January 1999, the Company acquired 3.4 million additional common shares of AIP for approximately $51.8 million. In August 1999, the Company purchased an additional 0.4 million shares of AIP for approximately $5.5 million. At December 31, 1999, the Company's ownership in AIP approximated 46.1% of the total outstanding shares of AIP.
In June 1999, DD Development Company, a Company in which DDR has an equity ownership interest, acquired Prudential Real Estate Investors' ("PREI") limited partnership interest in a joint venture, Hendon/DDR/ BP, LLC, which owned 15 sites formerly occupied by Best Products at a cost of approximately $29.7 million. As a result, the Company's aggregate investment in the joint venture increased to approximately $36 million. Eleven of the sites are leased as of December 31, 1999 and two were sold as of December 31, 1999. In addition, in June 1999, Hendon/DDR/BP, LLC, entered into a $25 million mortgage, with a financial institution secured by the leased sites. The net financing proceeds were used to repay advances made by the Company to the joint venture.
Expansions 1999
During 1999, the Company, on a wholly-owned basis and through certain joint ventures, completed fourteen expansion projects at an aggregate cost of $46.6 million. In addition, the Company is currently expanding/redeveloping three of its shopping centers at an aggregate cost of $6.3 million. The Company is also planning to commence expansion/redevelopment projects at five additional shopping centers located in: North
Charleston, South Carolina; North Canton, Ohio; Maple Grove, Minnesota; Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina.
Development (Wholly Owned) 1999
During 1999, the Company completed construction at five shopping centers located in Solon, Ohio; Erie, Pennsylvania; Toledo, Ohio; Ovideo, Florida and Macedonia, Ohio. Phase II of both the Toledo, Ohio and Oviedo, Florida projects are under construction and scheduled for completion in 2000. In addition, the Company is developing projects located in Meridian, Idaho and Riverdale, Utah.
Development (Joint Ventures) 1999
During 1999, the Company through certain joint ventures completed construction of three shopping centers located in Salem, New Hampshire; Salisbury, Maryland and Plainville, Connecticut.
During 1998 and 1999, the Company entered into joint venture development agreements on an additional eight shopping center projects with leading regional developers. These eight projects have a projected aggregate cost of approximately $321.7 million. Several of these projects have commenced development and are currently scheduled for completion in 2000. In addition to the Salem, New Hampshire and Plainville, Connecticut developments completed, the Company is currently financing projects located in Round Rock, Texas; Hagerstown, Maryland; Deer Park, Illinois and Long Beach, California, through the Prudential/DDR Retail Value Fund and also intends to finance its investment in the Fenton, Missouri project through this fund.
In 1999, the Company entered into a joint venture relating to a 642,000 square foot shopping center in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, the initial phase of which is scheduled to be completed in March 2000 and is anchored by a Kohl's (opened fourth quarter 1999) and Jo-Ann, ETC. The Company owns a 25% equity interest.
The Company, through its affiliate DDR OliverMcMillan, LP ("DDROM") continued to pursue six urban entertainment and retail projects aggregating 1.2 million square feet of GLA at a projected cost of approximately $233 million. The majority of the above projects are scheduled to commence construction in 1999 and 2000 with completion occurring between 2000 and 2002. The Company may also pursue partnership relationships with institutional investors in conjunction with the above projects.
RETAIL ENVIRONMENT
During 1999, certain national and regional retailers experienced financial difficulties and several have filed for protection under bankruptcy laws. No significant bankruptcies have occurred during the period January 1, 1999 through March 15, 2000 with regard to the Company's portfolio of tenants.
See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on certain of the recent developments described above.
COMPETITION
As one of the nation's largest owners and developers of neighborhood and community shopping centers, the Company has established close relationships with a large number of major national and regional retailers. Management is associated with and actively participates in many shopping center and REIT industry organizations.
Notwithstanding these relationships, there are numerous developers and real estate companies that compete with the Company in seeking properties for acquisition and tenants who will lease space in these properties.
Many investors believe e-commerce would seriously erode traditional retail business, particularly big box commodity retailers. The Company believes these fears are unfounded with the majority of the e-commerce sales occurring in the travel and computer categories, which account for a small portion of the Company's tenant base. In addition, the Company believes that the individual consumer is primarily shopping in discount stores, the majority of the Company's tenant base, rather than through e-commerce.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 15, 2000, the Company employed 251 full-time individuals, including executive, administrative and field personnel. The Company considers its relations with its personnel to be good.
QUALIFICATION AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST
The Company presently meets the qualification requirements of a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a result, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets certain requirements of the Code.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
At December 31, 1999 the Portfolio Properties included 185 shopping centers and one business center (44 of which are owned through joint ventures). The shopping centers consist of 154 community shopping centers and power centers, 12 enclosed mini-malls and 19 neighborhood shopping centers. The Portfolio Properties also include approximately 119 undeveloped acres primarily located adjacent to certain of the shopping centers. The shopping centers aggregate approximately 36.3 million square feet of Company-owned GLA (approximately 45.1 million square feet of total GLA) and are located in 37 states, principally in the East and Midwest, with significant concentrations in Ohio, Florida, Missouri, Michigan and South Carolina.
The Company's shopping centers are designed to attract local area customers and are typically anchored by one or more discount department stores and often include a supermarket, drug store, junior department store and/or other major "category-killer" discount retailer as additional anchors. Substantially all of the shopping centers are anchored by a Wal-Mart, Kmart or Target, and the power centers are anchored by two or more national or regional tenants. The tenants of the shopping centers typically offer day-to-day necessities rather than high-priced luxury items. As one of the nation's largest owners and operators of shopping centers, the Company has established close relationships with a large number of major national and regional retailers, many of which occupy space in the shopping centers.
Neighborhood and community shopping centers and power centers make up the largest portion of the Company's portfolio, comprising 32.2 million (88.6%) square feet of Company-owned GLA. Enclosed mini-malls account for 2.9 million (8.1%) square feet of Company-owned GLA and neighborhood shopping centers account for 1.2 million (3.3%) square feet of Company-owned GLA. On December 31, 1999, the average annualized base rent per square foot of Company-owned GLA of the shopping centers, including those owned through joint ventures, was $9.20.
The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 1999, information as to anchor and/or national retail tenants which individually accounted for at least 1.0% of total annualized base rent of the properties, including those owned though joint ventures:

In addition, as of December 31, 1999 unless otherwise indicated, with respect to the 185 shopping centers:
- 49 of these properties were developed by DDG, 16 were developed by the Company and the balance were acquired by the Company;
- 97 of these properties are anchored by a Wal-Mart, Kmart or Target store;
- these properties range in size from 4,000 square feet to approximately 900,000 square feet of GLA (with 30 properties exceeding 400,000 square feet of GLA);
- approximately 62.3% of the Company-owned GLA of these properties is leased to national chains, including subsidiaries, with approximately 26.3% of the Company-owned GLA leased to regional chains and approximately 7.1% of the Company-owned GLA leased to local tenants;
- approximately 95.7% of the aggregate Company-owned GLA of these properties was leased as of December 31, 1999 (and, with respect to the properties owned by the Company at December 31, for each of the five years beginning with 1995, between 94.8% and 97.2% of aggregate Company-owned GLA of these properties was leased);
- Three of these properties are currently being expanded by the Company, and the Company is pursuing the expansion of additional properties.

The rental payments under several of these leases will remain constant until the expiration of their base terms, regardless of inflationary increases. There can be no assurance that any of these leases will be renewed or that any new tenants will be obtained if not renewed.
The Company's 119 undeveloped acres primarily consist of outlots, retail pads and expansion pads which are primarily located adjacent to certain of the shopping centers. The Company is pursuing an active marketing program to lease, develop or sell its undeveloped acres.

The approximate number of record holders of the Company's common shares (its only class of common equity) at March 15, 2000 was 452, and the approximate number of beneficial owners of such shares was 18,500.
In March 2000, the Company declared its 2000 first quarter dividend to shareholders of record on March 22, 2000 of $.36 per share, a 2.9% increase over the quarterly dividend rate of $.35 per share in 1998.
The Company intends to continue to declare quarterly dividends on its common shares. However, no assurances can be made as to the amounts of future dividends, since such dividends are subject to the Company's cash flow from operations, earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers relevant. The Company is required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to distribute at least 95% of its REIT taxable income. The amount of cash available for dividends is impacted by capital expenditures and debt service requirements to the extent that the Company were to fund such items out of cash flow from operations.
In June 1995, the Company implemented a dividend reinvestment plan under which shareholders may elect to reinvest their dividends automatically in common shares. Under the plan, the Company may, from time to time, elect to purchase common shares in the open market on behalf of participating shareholders or may issue new common shares to such shareholders.

(1) As described in the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired five properties in 1999 (two of which are owned through joint ventures), 41 properties in 1998 (five of which are owned through joint ventures), eight properties in 1997 (one of which is owned through a joint venture), five properties in 1996 and 20 properties in 1995 (10 of which are owned through joint ventures).
(2) In 1999, the non-recurring charge related to severance costs and in 1998 and 1995, the extraordinary charges relate primarily to the write-off of deferred finance costs.
(3) Effective August 3, 1998, the Company executed a two-for-one stock split for shareholders of record on July 27, 1998. Earnings per share data is reflected for all years utilizing SFAS 128.
(4) Industry analysts generally consider funds from operations ("FFO") to be an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available
to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO is defined generally as net income applicable to common shareholders excluding gains (losses) on sales of property, non-recurring charges and extraordinary items, adjusting for certain noncash items, principally real property depreciation, equity income (loss) from its joint ventures and minority equity investment and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO of its unconsolidated joint ventures and minority equity investment, determined on a consistent basis. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the foregoing definition, which is currently used by NAREIT. Certain other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the comparative summary of selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the consolidated financial statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations. The Company considers portions of this information to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, with respect to the Company's expectations for future periods. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements related to acquisitions (including any related pro forma financial information) and other business development activities, future capital expenditures, financing sources and availability, the effects of environmental and other regulations. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "seeks," "estimates," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company's control and could materially affect the Company's actual results, performance or achievements.
Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The Company is subject to general risks affecting the real estate industry, including the need to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms to generate rental revenues;
- The Company is subject to competition for tenants from other owners of retail properties, and its tenants are subject to competition from other retailers and methods of distribution. The Company is dependent upon the successful operations and financial condition of its tenants, particularly certain of its most prominent tenants, and could be adversely affected by the bankruptcy of those tenants;
- The Company may fail to anticipate the effects on its properties of changes in consumer buying practices, including sales over the Internet, and the resulting retailing practices and space needs of its tenants;
- E-commerce may affect the sales volume of the Company's tenants which may reduce the amount of percentage rental income;
- The Company may fail to identify, acquire, construct or develop additional properties that do not produce a desired yield on invested capital, or may fail to effectively integrate acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties;
- Debt and equity financing may not be available, or may not be available on favorable terms, for the Company to continue to grow and operate its business;
- The Company is subject to complex regulations related to its status as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and would be adversely affected if it failed to qualify as a REIT;
- The Company must make distributions to shareholders to continue to qualify as a REIT, and if the Company borrows funds to make distributions then those borrowings may not be available on favorable terms;
- The Company could be adversely affected by changes in the local markets where its properties are located, as well as by adverse changes in national economic and market conditions;
- The Company is subject to potential environmental liabilities;
- The Company could be adversely affected by changes in government regulations, including changes in environmental, zoning, tax and other regulations; and
- Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the market price for the Company's common shares, as well as its performance and cash flow.
COMPARISON OF 1999 TO 1998 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues from Operations
Total revenues increased $35.8 million, or 15.7%, to $263.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $228.1 million in 1998. Base and percentage rents for 1999 increased $22.9 million, or 13.4%, to $193.8 million as compared to $170.9 million in 1998. Approximately $6.6 million of the increase in base and percentage rental income was the result of new leasing, re-tenanting and expansion of the Core Portfolio Properties (shopping center properties owned as of January 1, 1998), an increase of 5.8% over 1998 revenues from Core Portfolio Properties. The 38 shopping centers acquired by the Company in 1999 and 1998 contributed $28.1 million of additional revenue and the nine shopping center developments contributed $4.6 million. These increases were offset by a decrease of $16.4 million relating to the transfer of five business centers to American Industrial Properties REIT ("AIP") in July 1998 and the transfer of six properties to a joint venture in September 1998.
At December 31, 1999, the aggregate occupancy rate of the Company's shopping centers was 95.7% as compared to 96.5% at December 31, 1998. The average annualized base rent per leased square foot, including those properties owned through joint ventures, was $9.20 at December 31, 1999 as compared to $8.99 at December 31, 1998. During 1999, same store sales, for those tenants required to report sales (approximately 18.9 million square feet), increased 3.4% to $235 per square foot.
The increase in recoveries from tenants of $4.7 million was directly related to the increase in operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes primarily associated with the 1999 and 1998 shopping center acquisitions and developments. Recoveries were approximately 92.1% of operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes in 1999 as compared to 92.5% in 1998.
Management fee income increased by approximately $1.5 million, primarily associated with twelve additional joint ventures formed in 1998 and 1999, and interest income increased $1.3 million primarily associated with advances made to certain joint ventures formed in 1998 and 1999. Other income generally related to increases in (i) development fee income of approximately $2.3 million, (ii) lease termination fees of approximately $1.8 million and (iii) other income, comprised of commissions, financing fees and other miscellaneous revenue items, increased approximately $1.2 million.
Expenses from Operations
Rental operating and maintenance expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased $4.6 million, or 22.8%, to $24.6 million as compared to $20.0 million in 1998. An increase of $3.0 million was attributable to the 47 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1999 and 1998 and $3.1 million related to the Core Portfolio Properties generally associated with increased snow removal costs and other maintenance related costs. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.5 million relating to the transfer of five business center properties to AIP in August 1998 and the transfer of six shopping center properties into a joint venture in September 1998.
Real estate taxes increased $0.7 million, or 2.8%, to $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $26.5 million in 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to the growth related to the 47 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1999 and 1998 which contributed $4.1 million of the increase and an additional $0.4 million of the increase primarily related to expansions associated with the Core Portfolio Properties. These increases were offset by a decrease of $3.8 million relating to the transfer of five business center properties to AIP in August 1998 and the transfer of six shopping center properties into a joint venture in September 1998.
General and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million, or 37.6%, to $17.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $12.9 million in 1998. Total general and administrative expenses were approximately 4.1% (3.9% after excluding a $0.8 million severance charge, described below) and 3.8% of total revenues, including revenues of joint ventures, for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to the growth of the Company primarily related to shopping center acquisitions, expansions and developments (including those owned through joint ventures), relocation of the Company's headquarters to a new office, additional consulting costs, professional services, several new key executives and a severance charge. The increase was offset by adjustments to certain variable rate executive incentive compensation accruals of approximately $1.3 million. The Company continues to maintain a conservative policy with regard to the expensing of all internal leasing salaries, legal salaries and related expense associated with the leasing and re-leasing of existing space.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $9.2 million, or 21.5%, to $52.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $43.2 million in 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth related to the 47 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1999 and 1998 which contributed $10.4 million of the increase, an additional $2.4 million increase related to the expansions and improvements associated with the Core Portfolio Properties and approximately $0.4 million related to increased depreciation expense related to personal property primarily associated with the relocation of the Company's headquarters. These increases were offset by a decrease of $4.0 million relating to the transfer of five business center properties to AIP in August 1998 and the transfer of six shopping center properties into a joint venture in September 1998.
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased $10.8 million, or 18.9%, to $68.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $57.2 million in 1998. The overall increase in interest expense was primarily related to the acquisition and development of shopping centers during 1999 and 1998. The weighted average debt outstanding and related weighted average interest rate during 1999 was $1.1 billion and 7.2%, respectively, as compared to $911.7 million and 7.4%, respectively, during 1998. Interest capitalized, in connection with development and expansion projects, was $13.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $9.9 million in 1998.
Other
Equity in net income of joint ventures increased $7.7 million, or 60.0%, to $20.6 million in 1999 as compared to $12.9 million in 1998. An increase of $6.9 million is primarily attributable to the joint ventures formed/acquired during 1998 and 1999 and the remaining $1.1 million increase is primarily due to the Community Centers Joint Venture and Liberty Fair Joint Venture of $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. This increase in income of $6.9 million is comprised of $2.8 million relating to the formation of a joint venture in September 1998 with DRA Advisors whereby the Company contributed six wholly owned shopping centers, $1.1 million from DD Development Company and $1.5 million through the formation of the Sansone management and development companies. An additional $0.3 million relates to the acquisition of four joint venture interests acquired from Continental Real Estate Companies ("Continental") of Columbus, Ohio during the first half of 1998. The Company's joint venture in Merriam, Kansas contributed $0.4 million of additional income and a joint venture in Leawood, Kansas contributed $0.7 million of additional income. The remaining $0.1 million increase primarily relates to various other joint ventures formed in 1998 to develop shopping center properties which were in the lease-up phase in 1999.
Equity in net income of minority equity investment increased $5.8 million, to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 1998. This increase related to the
Company's equity investment in AIP (NYSE: IND) which began in August 1998. Initially, the Company owned approximately 16% of the outstanding shares of AIP and as of December 31, 1999, the Company owned approximately 9.7 million shares of AIP which approximates 46.1% of AIP's outstanding common shares.
The expense relating to minority interests increased $8.5 million, to $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $3.3 million in 1998. An increase of $5.0 million relates to the Company's issuance of preferred operating partnership minority units ("Units") in September 1999 and December 1998. These units may be exchanged, under certain circumstances, into preferred and/or common shares of the Company. An increase of $3.6 million relates to the Company's issuance of operating partnership units ("OP Units") as partial consideration for shopping centers acquired in 1998 and 1999. This increase related to the Company's purchase of 22 shopping centers in 1998 and 1999 and as consideration, the related issuance of OP Units which are exchangeable, in certain circumstances and at the option of the Company, into 4.7 million common shares of the Company or for cash. This expense represents the income allocation associated with the priority distributions associated with the minority equity interests. These increases were offset by a $0.1 million net decrease related to minority interests in shopping centers.
The loss on disposition of real estate aggregating $1.7 million primarily relates to the sale of a shopping center and residual land in Pensacola, Florida aggregating a $2.2 million loss. The shopping center was sold to a major retailer. In connection with this disposition, the Company developed a 17,000 square foot shopping center adjacent to the site sold. In addition, the Company sold four properties at an aggregate gain of approximately $0.5 million which offsets the previously described loss. Net proceeds received in conjunction with the above sales aggregated $13.9 million.
The extraordinary item, which aggregated $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, relates to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs associated with the amended and restated $375 million revolving credit facility.
Net Income
Net income increased $9.5 million to $87.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $77.9 million in 1998. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to increased net operating revenues (total revenues less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, and general and administrative expense) aggregating $25.5 million, resulting from new leasing, re-tenanting and expansion of Core Portfolio Properties and the 47 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1999 and 1998. An additional increase of $13.5 million related to equity in net income from joint ventures and minority equity investment and an increase of $0.9 million relating to the 1998 extraordinary item. This increase was offset by increases in interest expense, depreciation and amortization, minority interest expense and a loss on disposition of real estate of $10.8 million, $9.2 million, $8.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
COMPARISON OF 1998 TO 1997 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues from Operations
Total revenues increased $58.9 million, or 34.8%, to $228.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $169.2 million in 1997. Base and percentage rents for 1998 increased $44.6 million, or 35.3%, to $170.9 million as compared to $126.3 million in 1997. Approximately $4.8 million of the increase in base and percentage rental income was the result of new leasing, re-tenanting and expansion of the Core Portfolio Properties (shopping center properties owned as of January 1, 1997), an increase of 4.6% over 1997 revenues from Core Portfolio Properties. The 48 shopping centers acquired by the Company in 1998 and 1997 contributed $44.1 million of additional revenue and the 5 new shopping center developments contributed $4.2 million. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.3 million relating to the sale of one shopping center in December 1997 and the transfer of five business centers to AIP in July 1998 and $7.2 million relating to the transfer of six properties to a joint venture in September 1998.
At December 31, 1998, the aggregate occupancy rate of the Company's shopping centers was 96.5% as compared to 96.1% at December 31, 1997. The average annualized base rent per leased square foot, including
those properties owned through joint ventures, was $8.99 at December 31, 1998 as compared to $8.49 at December 31, 1997. During 1998, same store sales, for those tenants required to report sales (approximately 17.5 million square feet), increased 3.0% to $231 per square foot.
The increase in recoveries from tenants of $10.7 million was directly related to the increase in operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes primarily associated with the 1998 and 1997 shopping center acquisitions and developments. Recoveries were approximately 92.5% of operating and maintenance expenses and real estate taxes in 1998 as compared to 90.0% in 1997.
Management fee income and other income increased by approximately $3.7 million which generally related to increases in (i) interest income of approximately $3.0 million, (ii) management fee income of approximately $0.6 million primarily related to the acquisition of four properties owned through joint ventures and the formation of a joint venture in September 1998, (iii) development fee income of approximately $0.7 million and (iv) other income of approximately $0.6 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in lease termination fees of $1.2 million.
Expenses from Operations
Rental operating and maintenance expenses for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased $3.9 million, or 24.3%, to $20.0 million as compared to $16.1 million in 1997. An increase of $5.2 million was attributable to the 53 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1998 and 1997. This increase was offset by decreases of $0.6 million related to the Core Portfolio Properties generally associated with lower maintenance activities in 1998 as compared to 1997 at a majority of the Company's shopping centers, and $0.7 million relating to the sale and/or transfer of 12 properties in 1998 and 1997.
Real estate taxes increased $6.5 million, or 32.5%, to $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $20.0 million in 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to the growth related to the 53 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1998 and 1997 which contributed $7.5 million of the increase. An additional $0.8 million increase primarily related to expansions associated with the Core Portfolio Properties. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.8 million relating to the sale and/or transfer of 12 properties in 1997 and 1998.
General and administrative expenses increased $1.8 million, or 16.8%, to $12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $11.1 million in 1997. The increase is attributable to the growth of the Company primarily related to the 1998 and 1997 acquisitions, expansions and developments. The Company continues to maintain a conservative policy with regard to the expensing of all internal leasing salaries, legal salaries and related expenses associated with the leasing and re-leasing of existing space. Total general and administrative expenses were approximately 3.8% and 4.4% of total revenues, including revenues of joint ventures, for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $10.9 million, or 33.6%, to $43.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $32.3 million in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth related to the 53 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1998 and 1997 which contributed an $11.4 million increase and an additional $1.3 million increase related to the expansions and improvements associated with the Core Portfolio Properties. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.8 million relating to the sale and/or transfer of 12 properties in 1998 and 1997.
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased $21.6 million, or 60.9%, to $57.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $35.6 million in 1997. The overall increase in interest expense was primarily related to the acquisition and development of 53 shopping centers during 1998 and 1997. The weighted average debt outstanding and related weighted average interest rate during 1998 was $911.7 million and 7.4%, respectively, as compared to $510.5 million and 7.7%, respectively, during 1997. Interest capitalized, in connection with development and expansion projects, was $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $4.0 million in 1997.
Other
Equity in net income of joint ventures increased $2.0 million, or 18.3%, to $12.9 million in 1998 as compared to $10.9 million in 1997. This increase is primarily attributable to the joint ventures formed or acquired during 1998 which aggregated approximately $3.2 million of income. Approximately $1.3 million related to four joint venture interests acquired from Continental during the first half of 1998. An additional $1.2 million relates to the formation of a joint venture in September 1998 with DRA Advisors whereby the Company contributed six wholly owned shopping centers to a newly formed joint venture in exchange for cash of $192 million and a 50% joint venture interest. The remaining $0.7 million increase primarily relates to various other joint ventures formed including Merriam, Nassau Pavilion, Retail Value Fund, OliverMcMillan and Sansone Management Company. The above increases were offset by a decrease in net income from the Community Center Joint Ventures of approximately $1.0 million, primarily associated with an increase in interest costs relating to the refinancing of the variable rate bridge financings to long term fixed rate financing in May 1997.
Equity in net income of minority equity investment of $0.7 million relates to the Company's investment in AIP for the period July 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1998, the Company owned 5.9 million shares of AIP which represented approximately 34.5% of AIP's outstanding common shares.
The expense relating to minority interests increased $2.3 million, to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $1.0 million in 1997. The increase generally relates to the Company's issuance of OP Units as partial consideration for 21 shopping centers acquired in 1998. These OP Units are exchangeable, in certain circumstances and at the option of the Company, into approximately 4.6 million common shares of the Company. This increase is offset by the Company's purchase, in March 1998, of the minority interest in one shopping center located in Cleveland, Ohio, for approximately $16.3 million. The minority equity interest expense primarily represents the priority distributions associated with such interests.
The extraordinary item, which aggregated $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, relates to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs associated with the Company's former $150 million revolving credit facility which was replaced with a $375 million revolving credit facility.
Net Income
Net income increased $10.4 million to $77.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $67.5 million in 1997. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to increased net operating revenues (total revenues less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, and general and administrative expense) aggregating $46.7 million, resulting from new leasing, re-tenanting and expansion of Core Portfolio Properties and the 53 shopping centers acquired and developed in 1998 and 1997. An additional increase of $2.7 million related to equity in net income from joint ventures and minority equity investment. This increase was offset by increases in interest expense, depreciation and amortization, minority interest expense, extraordinary item and a reduction of gain on sales of real estate of $21.6 million, $10.9 million, $2.3 million, $0.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Management believes that Funds From Operations ("FFO") provides an additional indicator of the financial performance of a Real Estate Investment Trust. FFO is defined generally as net income applicable to common shareholders excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, non-recurring charges and extraordinary items, adjusted for certain non-cash items, principally real property depreciation, equity income from its joint ventures and equity income from its minority equity investment and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and minority equity investment, determined on a consistent basis.
The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the foregoing definition, which is currently used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). Certain other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner.
In 1999, FFO increased $25.8 million, or 22.8%, to $138.8 million as compared to $113.0 million in 1998 and $86.9 million in 1997. The increases in each year were attributable to the continuing increases in revenues from Core Portfolio Properties, acquisitions, developments and joint venture interests.
The Company's calculation of FFO is as follows (in thousands):

(a) Includes straight-line rental revenue of approximately $4.2 million, $3.1 million and $2.9 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company's proportionate share of straight-line rental revenues was $2.1 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
(b) At December 31, 1999, the Company owned joint venture interests relating to 28 operating shopping center properties, a 25% interest in the Prudential Retail Value Fund and a 50% joint venture in a real estate management company. At December 31,1998, the Company owned joint venture interests relating to 26 operating shopping center properties, a 25% interest in the Prudential Retail Value Fund and a 50% joint venture interest in a real estate management company. At December 31, 1997, the Company owned joint venture interests relating to 14 operating shopping center properties.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company anticipates that cash flow from operating activities will continue to provide adequate capital for all interest and principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, recurring tenant improvements, as well as dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements and that cash on hand, borrowings under its existing revolving credit facilities, as well as other debt and equity alternatives, including the issuance of OP Units and joint venture capital, will provide the necessary capital to achieve continued growth. Cash flow from operating activities for 1999 increased to $152.7 million as compared to $137.5 million in 1998. The increase was attributable to the 47 shopping center acquisitions and developments completed in 1999 and 1998, new leasing, expansion and re-tenanting of the Core Portfolio Properties and the equity offerings completed in 1999 and 1998.
The Company satisfied its REIT requirement of distributing at least 95% of ordinary taxable income with declared common and preferred share dividends of $112.5 million in 1999 as compared to $95.1 million and $79.7 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Accordingly, federal income taxes were not incurred at the corporate level. The Company's common share dividend payout ratio for the year approximated 61.4% of its 1999 FFO as compared to 67.0% and 75.3% in 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In December 1999, the REIT Modernization Act ("RMA") was passed by the federal government. The RMA, which is effective in 2001, allows REITs to own a taxable REIT subsidiary which can provide services to a REIT's tenants without disqualifying the rents that a REIT receives from these tenants. In addition, this act lowers the distribution requirements for a REIT from 95% to 90% of its ordinary taxable income.
An increase in the 2000 quarterly dividend per common share to $0.36 from $0.35 was approved in March 2000 by the Company's Board of Directors. It is anticipated that the new dividend level will continue to result in a conservative payout ratio. A low payout ratio enables the Company to retain more capital which will be utilized towards attractive investment opportunities in the development, acquisition and expansion of portfolio properties.
ACQUISITIONS, EXPANSIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS
During the three year period ended December 31, 1999, the Company and its joint ventures expended $2.1 billion, net, to acquire, develop, expand, improve and re-tenant its properties as follows (in millions):

The majority of the above projects are scheduled to commence
construction in 1999 and 2000 with completion occurring between 2000 and 2002. The Company may also pursue partnership relationships with institutional investors in conjunction with the above projects.

During 1998, the Company and its joint ventures completed the acquisition of, or investment in, 41 shopping centers aggregating 7.4 million square feet of Company owned gross leasable area (GLA) for an aggregate investment of approximately $854.6 million. In December 1998, the Company acquired a 50% ownership interest in a 0.4 million square foot shopping center in Leawood, Kansas. The Company's investment aggregated approximately $18 million and was comprised of an equity investment of approximately $12.3 million and a note receivable due from the joint venture partner of $5.7 million. In September 1998, the Company entered into a 50/50 joint venture with DRA Advisors. In conjunction with this joint venture the Company contributed properties valued at approximately $238 million to the joint venture and DRA contributed cash of approximately $42 million. In addition, the joint venture entered into a $156 million, seven year mortgage with a coupon interest rate of 6.64%. Net proceeds aggregating approximately $192 million were distributed to the Company and used to repay borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facilities. The Company continues to manage the shopping centers and receive market fees for these services.
In 1998, the Company, in a joint release with AIP, announced the execution of a definitive agreement providing for the strategic investment in AIP by the Company. In July 1998, the Company, in exchange for five industrial properties owned by the Company with a net book value of $7.4 million and valued at approximately $19.5 million, acquired approximately 1.3 million additional newly issued AIP shares of beneficial interest. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had purchased 5.9 million of common shares for approximately $91.3 million. Combined, the Company's acquired shares represented 34.5% of AIP's total outstanding shares as of December 31, 1998.
During 1998, the Company completed seven expansion projects at an aggregate
cost of $11.2 million. During 1998, the Company substantially completed the
construction of a 445,000 square foot shopping center in Merriam, Kansas which
was being developed through a joint venture formed in October 1996, 50% of which
is owned by the Company. The Company began construction at four shopping centers
including: (i) a 200,000 square foot second phase of the Company's Erie,
Pennsylvania center; (ii) a 280,000 square foot shopping center in Toledo, Ohio;
(iii) a 185,000 square foot shopping center in Solon, Ohio and (iv) a 220,000
square foot shopping center in Oviedo, Florida (a suburb of Orlando).
In 1998, the Company entered into joint venture development agreements for six additional projects with various developers throughout the country. In May 1998, the Company formed DDROM, with OliverMcMillan, LLC, based in San Diego, California to develop, acquire, operate and manage urban entertainment and retail projects throughout the United States. DDROM's initial investments are comprised of six OliverMcMillan urban entertainment and retail projects located in Southern California and Reno, Nevada.
1997 Activity
During 1997, the Company acquired seven shopping centers aggregating 2.4 million square feet of Company owned GLA for an aggregate investment of approximately $267.9 million. In addition, in January 1997, the Company entered into a joint venture with certain institutional investors which are advised by DRA Advisors, Inc. to acquire a 0.3 million square foot shopping center located in San Antonio, Texas. The aggregate cost of the shopping center was approximately $38.3 million of which the Company's proportionate ownership share is 35%. The Company also contributed approximately $0.5 million of additional assets to the DOTRS Joint Venture during 1997.
During 1997, the Company and its joint ventures completed expansions and redevelopments aggregating approximately 0.8 million square feet at an aggregate cost of approximately $39.0 million at 13 of its shopping centers.
During 1997, the Company substantially completed the construction of four shopping centers which included: (i) a 235,000 square foot Phase II development of the Canton, Ohio shopping center; (ii) a 500,000
square foot shopping center in Boardman, Ohio; (iii) a 475,000 square foot shopping center in Stow, Ohio and (iv) an 84,000 square foot shopping center in Aurora, Ohio.
Development activity was completed at two of the Company's joint venture shopping centers located in Atlanta, Georgia and Framingham, Massachusetts which were acquired in connection with the Community Center Joint Ventures in November 1995.
In December 1997, the Company acquired 33 retail redevelopment sites, formerly occupied by Best Products, at a cost of approximately $54.5 million. In February 1998, these assets were contributed to the Prudential/DDR Retail Value Fund, a joint venture with Prudential Real Estate Investors.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The above acquisitions, developments and expansions were generally financed through cash provided from operating activities, revolving credit facilities, mortgages assumed, construction loans, unsecured public debt, common and preferred equity offerings, joint venture capital, OP Units and asset sales. Total debt outstanding at December 31, 1999 was $1.2 billion as compared to $1.0 billion and $668.5 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In 1999, the Company increased total debt by $151.6 million primarily to fund acquisitions, developments, expansions and other real estate investments.
Through December 31, 1999, the Company purchased in open market transactions 1,860,300 of its common shares, at prices ranging from $12.69 to $14.00, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $25.8 million. For the period January 1, 2000 through March 3, 2000, the Company initiated the purchase of an additional 1,163,700 shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $13.7 million. In February and August 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the officers of the Company to implement and continue a common share repurchase program in response to what the Company believed was a distinct undervaluation of the Company's common shares in the public market. Under the terms authorized by the Company's Board, as amended in November 1999, the Company may purchase in the open market, subject to certain requirements, common shares of the Company, up to a maximum value of $200 million. The Company may invest proceeds from the sale of assets to purchase these shares. It is not the Company's intention to increase the leverage on its balance sheet to implement this stock repurchase program.
Also in December 1999, one of the Company's joint ventures refinanced its secured mortgage and entered into a ten year fixed rate mortgage for $21.3 million with interest at 8.46%. Additional proceeds from this refinancing of approximately $6.4 million were used to repay a portion of a note payable to the Company.
During 1999, the Prudential/DDR Retail Value Fund ("Fund"), a joint venture in which the Company effectively owns a 25% interest, agreed to acquire the Company's 50% joint venture interests relating to the development of six shopping centers. The Company was reimbursed by the Fund for approximately $74.3 million associated with development costs incurred on each of these projects. The Company also obtained third party financing for three of these projects aggregating approximately $77.1 million with rates ranging from LIBOR plus 175 to LIBOR plus 180. In addition, the Company transferred its interest in a shopping center development in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, to a joint venture in which the Company retained a 25% interest and was reimbursed $2.5 million relating to development costs previously incurred on this project. The Company also sold certain land parcels adjacent to its shopping center in Wilmington, North Carolina and received aggregate proceeds of approximately $6.1 million.
In September 1999, the Company completed a $75 million private placement of 0.3 million, 8.875% perpetual preferred "down-REIT" partnership units with an institutional investor. The units may be exchanged, under certain circumstances, for Class K, 8.875% cumulative preferred shares. The units may be exchangeable into common shares if the Company fails to pay dividends for six consecutive quarters. The net proceeds of approximately $73.1 million were effectively used to repay approximately $25.8 million in mortgage indebtedness and $40.1 million in convertible debentures which matured on August 15, 1999. The balance of these proceeds was used to repay variable rate borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities.
In March 1999, the Company filed a $750 million shelf registration statement with the SEC pursuant to which the Company may issue senior or subordinated debt securities, common shares, preferred shares or warrants to purchase common shares.
In March 1999, the Company amended its revolving credit facility with National City Bank to increase the available borrowings to $25 million from $20 million, to convert it to a secured facility and to extend the agreement through November 2002. The credit facility is secured by certain partnership investments. The Company also maintains the right to convert the credit facility back to an unsecured credit facility and to reduce the credit facility amount to $20 million.
In January 1999, the Company repaid a third party mortgage of a 50% owned joint venture partnership aggregating approximately $49.2 million. In return, the joint venture entered into a corresponding mortgage note payable to the Company bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In addition, the Company received a loan origination fee for this transaction of $0.4 million. In March 1999, the joint venture obtained a bridge loan and used the proceeds to repay the mortgage note to the Company. In June 1999, the joint venture entered into a 10 year, fixed rate mortgage for $55.5 million at 7.31%.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company issued $2.7 million in OP Units in conjunction with the purchase of certain expansion areas at two recently acquired shopping centers and the purchase of joint venture interests. These OP Units are, in certain circumstances and at the election of the Company, exchangeable into approximately 139,000 common shares of the Company or for cash.
A summary of the aggregate gross proceeds raised through the issuance of common shares, preferred shares, preferred partnership units, warrants, senior unsecured notes, construction loans and OP Units issued as consideration for the purchase of real estate assets aggregated $983.5 million during the three year period ended December 31, is as follows (in millions):

During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company also assumed mortgage debt in conjunction with certain property acquisitions aggregating $18.0 million.
CAPITALIZATION
At December 31, 1999, the Company's capitalization consisted of $1.2 billion of debt (excluding the Company's proportionate share of joint venture mortgage debt aggregating $466.6 million), $413.8 million of preferred stock and preferred partnership units and $826.7 million of market equity (market equity is defined as common shares outstanding and operating partnership units outstanding multiplied by the closing price of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange at December 31, 1999 of $12.875) resulting in a debt to total market capitalization ratio of .48 to 1.0 as compared to the ratios of .40 to 1.0 and .36 to 1.0 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. At December 31, 1999, the Company's total debt consisted of $751.0 million of fixed rate debt and $401.1 million of variable rate debt.
It is management's intention that the Company have access to the capital resources necessary to expand and develop its business. Accordingly, the Company may seek to obtain funds through additional equity offerings or debt financings in a manner consistent with its intention to operate with a conservative debt capitalization policy and maintain its investment grade ratings with Moody's Investor Services and Standard and Poor's. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which $750 million of debt securities, preferred shares or common shares may be issued. In addition, as of December 31, 1999, the Company had $109.2 million available under its $400.0 million of revolving credit facilities. As of December 31, 1999, the Company also had 118 operating properties with $201.4 million, or 72.5%, of the total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999 which were unencumbered thereby providing a potential collateral base for future borrowings.
INFLATION
Substantially all of the Company's long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive percentage rentals based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. Such escalation clauses are often related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. Most of the Company's leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of the Company's leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits the Company to seek to increase rents upon re-rental at market rates.
The Company intends to continuously monitor and actively manage interest costs on its variable rate debt portfolio and may enter into swap positions based on market fluctuations. In addition, the Company believes that it has the ability to obtain funds through additional equity and/or debt offerings, including the issuance of medium term notes and joint venture capital. Accordingly, the cost of obtaining such protection agreements in relation to the Company's access to capital markets will continue to be evaluated.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Historically, real estate has been subject to a wide range of cyclical economic conditions which affect various real estate sections and geographic regions with differing intensities and at different times. Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions could result in the inability of some existing tenants of the Company to meet their lease obligations and could otherwise adversely affect the Company's ability to attract or retain tenants. The Company's shopping centers are typically anchored by one or more discount department stores (Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target), off price department stores (Kohl's, TJ Maxx/Marshalls), home improvement stores (Home Depot, Lowes) and supermarkets which generally offer day-to-day necessities, rather than high- priced luxury items. Since these merchants typically perform better in an economic recession than those who market high priced luxury items, the percentage rents received by the Company have remained relatively stable. In addition, the Company seeks to reduce its operating and leasing risks through ownership of a portfolio of properties with a diverse geographic and tenant base.
During 1999 and 1998, certain national and regional retailers have experienced financial difficulties and several have filed for protection under bankruptcy laws. Although the Company has a number of tenants filing for protection under bankruptcy laws, the Company has not incurred any significant financial losses through March 3, 2000 with regard to the Company's portfolio of tenants.
YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 issue ("Year 2000") resulted from computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. A concern arose that if not corrected, computer programs having time-sensitive hardware and software may have interpreted a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This situation could result in a system failure or erroneous results.
In 1999 and through March 3, 2000, the Company did not experience any difficulties with either its information technology ("IT"), non-IT systems or significant suppliers or vendors with the arrival of the Year 2000. The Company expended approximately $94,000 in connection with upgrading building management, mechanical and computer systems and believes that the Company's Year 2000 assessments are complete. The Company does not anticipate any further expense to be incurred for Year 2000 remediation.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, approximately 65.2% and 83.6%, respectively, of the Company's debt (excluding joint venture debt) bore interest at fixed rates with a weighted average maturity of approximately 7.3 years and 7.9 years, respectively, and a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.5% and 7.6%, respectively. The remainder of the Company's debt bears interest at variable rates with a weighted average maturity of approximately 1.2 years and 2.3 years, respectively, and a weighted average interest rate of approximately 7.4% and 6.5%, respectively, at December 31, 1999 and 1998. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company's joint ventures' indebtedness aggregated $721.9 million and $601.6 million, respectively, of fixed rate debt, of which the Company's proportionate share was $364.4 million and $310.0 million, respectively, and $203.1 million and $117.2 million, respectively, of variable rate debt, of which the Company's proportionate share was $102.2 million and $59.6 million, respectively. The Company intends to utilize variable rate indebtedness available under its revolving credit facilities in order to initially fund future acquisitions, developments and expansions of shopping centers. Thus, to the extent that the Company incurs additional variable rate indebtedness, its exposure to increases in interest rates in an inflationary period would increase. The Company believes, however, that in no event would increases in interest expense as a result of inflation significantly impact the Company's distributable cash flow.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt amounted to a liability of $729.0 million and $823.5 million, respectively (excluding joint venture debt) compared to its carrying amount of $751.0 million and $836.3 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company's proportionate share of joint venture fixed rate debt was $353.3 million and $315.8 million, respectively, compared to its carrying amount $364.4 million and $310 million, respectively. The Company estimates that a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates at December 31, 1999 and 1998 would have changed the fair value of the Company's fixed rate debt to a liability of $765.9 million and $866.1 million, respectively, and would have changed the fair value of the Company's proportionate share of joint ventures fixed rate debt to a liability of $366.5 million and $319.7 million, respectively. The sensitivity to changes in interest rate of the Company's fixed rate debt was determined utilizing a valuation model based upon factors that measure the net present value of such obligations which arise from the hypothetical estimate as discussed above.

All other schedules are omitted because they are not applicable or the required information is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.
Financial statements of the Company's unconsolidated joint venture companies have been omitted because each of the joint venture's proportionate share of the income from continuing operations is less than 20% of the respective consolidated amount, and the investment in and advances to each joint venture is less than 20% of consolidated total assets.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Developers Diversified Realty Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(1) on page 46 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Developers Diversified Realty Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(2) on page 46 present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

The Company's shopping centers are typically anchored by discount department stores (Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target), off price department stores (Kohl's, TJ Maxx/Marshall's), home improvement stores (Home Depot, Lowes), supermarkets, book stores, office supply stores, electronic stores and drug stores which usually offer day-to-day necessities. At December 31, 1999, the Company owned shopping centers in 36 states. The tenant base includes primarily national and regional retail chains and local retailers; consequently, the Company's credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.
Revenues derived from the Company's two largest tenants, Wal-Mart and Kmart, aggregated 10.9%, 11.3% and 14.1% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, as follows:
YEAR WAL-MART KMART ---- -------- ----- 1999...................................................... 7.6% 3.3% 1998...................................................... 6.6% 4.7% 1997...................................................... 8.8% 5.3% |
The total percentage of Company owned gross leasable area ("GLA") attributed to Wal-Mart and Kmart was 8.8% and 12.3%, respectively, at December 31, 1999. The Company's ten largest tenants comprised 22.6%, 24.4% and 27.3% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Management believes the Company's portfolio is diversified in terms of location of its shopping centers and its tenant profile. Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions could result in the inability of some existing tenants to meet their lease obligations and could otherwise adversely affect the Company's ability to attract or retain tenants. During 1999 and 1998, certain national and regional retailers experienced financial difficulties and several filed for protection under bankruptcy laws. Although the Company has experienced a number of tenants filing for protection under bankruptcy laws, the Company has not incurred significant losses through March 3, 2000, with regard to the Company's portfolio of tenants.
Principles of Consolidation
All majority owned subsidiaries and affiliates where the Company has financial and operating control are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in real estate joint ventures and companies for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over but does not have financial or operating control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company's share of the earnings of these joint ventures and companies is included in consolidated net income. Other investments are accounted for using the cost method of accounting.
Statement of Cash Flows and Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Information
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The foregoing transactions did not provide or use cash and, accordingly, they are not reflected in the statements of cash flows.
Real Estate
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation which, in the opinion of management, is not in excess of the individual property's estimated undiscounted future cash flows, including estimated proceeds from disposition.
Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
BUILDINGS 18 TO 31 YEARS
--------- --------------
Furniture/Fixtures and Tenant Improvements..... Useful lives, which approximate
lease terms, where applicable
|
Depreciation expense was $52.4 million, $43.2 million and $32.3 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renovations which improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized. Included in land at December 31, 1999 was undeveloped real estate, generally outlots or expansion pads adjacent to the shopping centers owned by the Company (excluding shopping centers owned through joint ventures) which aggregated approximately 110 acres.
Construction in progress includes shopping center developments and significant expansions and re-developments. The Company capitalizes interest on funds used for the construction, expansion or redevelopment of shopping centers, including funds advanced to joint ventures with qualifying development activities. Capitalization of interest ceases when construction activities are completed and the property is available for occupancy by tenants. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company capitalized interest of $13.5 million, $9.9 million, and $4.0 million, respectively. In addition, the Company capitalized certain
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
construction administration costs of $2.5 million, $1.8 million and $1.3 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are included in deferred charges in the accompanying balance sheets and are amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements; such amortization is reflected as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Minimum rents from tenants are recognized monthly using the straight-line method. Percentage and overage rents are recognized after the tenants reported sales have exceeded the applicable sales breakpoint set forth in the applicable lease. Revenues associated with tenant reimbursements are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon the tenant lease provisions. Lease termination fees are included in other income and recognized upon termination of a tenant's lease, which generally coincides with the receipt of cash. Development fees are in other income and recognized when the related services are performed and the earnings process is complete.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, other than straight-line rents receivable, are expected to be collected within one year and are net of estimated unrecoverable amounts of approximately $2.1 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, straight-line rent receivables, net of a provision for uncollectible amounts, aggregated $8.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
Disposition of Real Estate
Disposition of real estate generally relates to the sale of outlots and land adjacent to existing shopping centers and is recognized at closing when the earnings process is deemed to be complete.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include internal leasing and legal salaries and related expenses which are charged to operations as incurred.
Interest and Real Estate Taxes
Interest and real estate taxes incurred during the development and significant expansion of shopping centers are capitalized and depreciated over the life of the building. Interest paid during the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 aggregated $79.4 million, $63.4 million and $36.2 million, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of the goodwill and property management contracts and rights to certain development projects obtained through the acquisitions of real estate management businesses, which are amortized on the straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. The carrying value of intangible assets is periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments are recognized when the expected future operating cash flows derived from such intangible assets are less than their carrying value.
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company may from time to time enter into interest rate swap contracts as hedges against increasing rates on its variable rate debt. The Company does not utilize these arrangements for trading or speculative purposes. To qualify for hedge accounting, the contracts must meet defined correlation and effectiveness criteria, be designated as a hedge and result in cash flows and financial statement effects which substantially offset those of the position being hedged. The Company records net amounts received or paid under these contracts as adjustments to interest expense. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, there were no interest rate swap contracts or other derivative instruments outstanding. See Note 3 for a description of the Company's funding commitment relating to its minority equity investment.
Federal Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a qualified Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the Company is entitled to a tax deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its shareholders, thereby effectively subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation at the shareholder level only, provided it distributes at least 95% of its taxable income and meets certain other REIT qualification requirements. As the Company distributed sufficient taxable income for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, no U.S. Federal income or excise taxes were incurred. The Company is subject to state and local income and franchise taxes in certain states and municipalities which are reflected in operating and maintenance expenses. The tax basis of assets and liabilities exceeds the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements by approximately $122 million, $110 million and $111 million at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Business Segment
The sole business of the Company and its consolidated affiliates is the ownership, development and operation of retail shopping centers. The Company evaluates operating results and allocates resources on a property-by-property basis. The Company does not distinguish or group its operations on a geographic basis. Accordingly, the Company believes it has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, all operations are within the United States and significant tenant revenues have been previously disclosed.
Comprehensive Income
For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income requiring additional disclosure.
New Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133 -- Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement requires fair value accounting for all derivatives including recognizing all such instruments on the balance sheet with an offsetting amount recorded in the income statement or as part of comprehensive income. The new standard becomes effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2001. (SFAS No. 137 deferred the effective date from December 31, 2000.) The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or cash flows.
In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," which among other things provides guidance on lessors' accounting for contingent rent. This bulletin clarifies that contingent rental income should be recognized once the factors that trigger payment actually
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
occur. The Company does not anticipate this bulletin to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
Treasury Stock
In February and August 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, subject to certain requirements, of up to $200 million of the Company's common shares. The Company's repurchases are reflected as treasury stock utilizing the cost method of accounting and are presented as a reduction to consolidated shareholders' equity.
Stock Split
The Board of Directors of the Company approved a two-for-one stock split to shareholders of record on July 27, 1998. On August 3, 1998, each such shareholder received one common share for each share held. This stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend. Accordingly, $2.9 million was transferred from additional paid in capital to common stock, representing the stated value of additional shares issued. All share and per share data and Operating Partnership Units ("OP Units") included in these consolidated financial statements including all such disclosures have been adjusted to reflect this split, except as indicated.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 and 1997 financial statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. ADVANCES TO AND INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
The Company's equity investments in joint ventures at December 31, 1999 consisted of the following:

The Company has made advances to several partnerships in the form of notes receivable which accrue interest at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 0.85% to fixed rate loans of 12%. Maturity dates range from payment on demand to December 2008. Notes aggregating approximately $20.2 million serve as collateral for a $22 million secured loan. In December 1999, one of the Company's joint ventures refinanced its secured mortgage and entered into a ten year fixed rate mortgage for $21.3 million with interest at 8.46%. Additional proceeds, aggregating $6.4 million, from this refinancing were used to partially repay a note payable to the Company. Included in accounts receivable is approximately $1.4 million and $0.8 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, due from affiliates related to construction receivables.
Advances to and investments in joint ventures include the following items which represent the difference between the Company's investment and its proportionate share of the joint ventures underlying net assets (in millions):

In addition, acquisition, transaction and other costs, including capitalized interest, are not reflected in the net assets at the joint venture level. Certain basis differentials are assigned and amortized over the life of the related assets.

In September 1999, the Company transferred its interest in a shopping center under development in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis, to a joint venture in which the Company retained a 25% ownership interest. The Company effectively sold a 75% interest in this project and was reimbursed $2.5 million relating to development costs previously incurred on this project. See also Transactions with Related Parties (Note 14).
In April 1999, the Company acquired a 50% interest in a 206,000 square foot shopping center in St. Louis, Missouri. The joint venture's aggregate purchase price was $16.6 million. In November 1999, the Company acquired, through a 50% owned joint venture, the fourth phase of a shopping center in Phoenix, Arizona which aggregates 125,000 square feet. The total purchase price for the fourth phase of this center aggregated approximately $15.6 million.
In January 1999, the Company repaid a third party mortgage of a 50% owned joint venture partnership aggregating approximately $49.2 million. The joint venture entered into a corresponding mortgage note payable to the Company bearing an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In addition, the Company received a loan
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
origination fee for this transaction of $0.4 million which is included in other revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. In March 1999, the joint venture obtained a bridge loan, which was converted into a permanent mortgage in June 1999, and used the proceeds to repay the mortgage note to the Company.
The Company's joint venture agreements generally include provisions whereby each partner has the right to trigger a purchase or sale of its interest in the joint ventures (Reciprocal Purchase Rights) or to initiate a purchase and sale of the properties (Property Purchase Rights) after a certain number of years or if either party is in default of the joint venture agreements.
In addition, several of the joint venture agreements include a provision whereby the Company's joint venture partners may convert all, or a portion of, their respective interests in such joint ventures into common shares of the Company. The terms of the conversion are set forth in the governing documents of such joint ventures. However, if the joint venture partners elect to convert their respective interest into common shares, the Company will, in most cases, have the option to pay cash instead of issuing common shares. If the Company agrees to the issuance of common shares, the agreement provides that the converting joint venture partner will execute a lock-up arrangement acceptable to the Company.
Retail Value Fund
In February 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Prudential Real Estate Investors and formed the Retail Value Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund invests in retail development projects and retail properties within the United States that are in need of substantial retenanting and market repositioning and may also make equity and debt investments in companies owning or managing retail properties as well as in third party development projects that provide significant growth opportunities. The retail property investments may include enclosed malls, neighborhood and community centers or other potential commercial redevelopment opportunities. The Company maintains a 25.57% effective ownership interest (which includes the Company's 82% share of a 1% general partner interest which provides for a 33% profits interest once the limited partners have received a 10% preferred return and return of capital). The Fund's general partner has its own employees. The Company performs retail management responsibilities including leasing, operating and maintenance, redevelopment and accounting services and receives fees for these supervision services. The Fund acquired a shopping center in Long Beach, CA in December 1998 which is being redeveloped. In addition, the Fund acquired six operating retail shopping centers in Kansas and Missouri in September 1999. In 1999, the Company entered into separate agreements with the Fund to acquire the Company's 50% joint venture interest relating to the development of six shopping centers. During 1999, the Company was reimbursed approximately $74.3 million, relating to advances previously made to these joint ventures, associated with development costs incurred on each of these projects.
DD Development Company
In June 1999, DD Development Company, a company in which DDR owns an equity ownership interest, acquired the Fund's limited partnership interest in a joint venture, Hendon/DDR/BP, LLC, which owned 15 sites formerly occupied by Best Products at a cost of approximately $29.7 million. As a result, the Company's aggregate investment in this joint venture increased to approximately $36 million. Eleven of the sites were leased as of December 31, 1999 and two were sold as of December 31, 1999. In addition, in June 1999, Hendon/DDR/ BP, LLC entered into a $25 million mortgage with a financial institution secured by the leased sites. The net financing proceeds were used to repay advances made by the Company to the joint venture.
Continental Real Estate
In March and April 1998, through transactions with Continental Real Estate
Companies of Columbus, Ohio, the Company acquired interests in four shopping
center joint ventures. The aggregate cost of these shopping centers, including
the assumption of approximately $82.0 million of debt, was approximately $114.1
million, of which the Company's proportionate share was $54.7 million and $76.2
million, respectively. The Company paid
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
approximately $19.1 million in cash and issued $2.3 million of OP Units. The Company manages these shopping centers pursuant to a management agreement.
OliverMcMillan
In May 1998, the Company formed DDR OliverMcMillan (DDROM) to develop, acquire, operate and manage urban entertainment and retail projects throughout the United States. At December 31, 1999, DDROM had six projects in various stages of development. The investment and development activities of DDROM are overseen by a four person Board of Directors. The Company's Chief Executive Officer serves as Chairman of DDROM's Board of Directors, and its Vice Chairman and Chief Investment Officer serves as a director together with two executives from the joint venture partner. The majority of the projects are scheduled for completion between 2000 and 2002.
Sansone Group
In July 1998, in connection with the acquisition of certain shopping center properties from The Sansone Group, the Company acquired a 50% interest in The Sansone Group's operating/management company which manages shopping centers and other properties in the St. Louis, Missouri area. The Company is entitled to a cumulative annual preferred return of the first $1.0 million in net operating income up to the first $5 million. In addition, the Company acquired a 50% interest in the Sansone Group Development Company.
DDRA Community Centers V
On September 10, 1998, the Company contributed six existing shopping center properties valued at approximately $238 million to a joint venture and in exchange received a 50% equity ownership interest in the joint venture and cash of approximately $192 million, funded from debt and equity proceeds received as described below. The $192 million was used to repay variable rate indebtedness on the Company's revolving credit facilities. In conjunction with the Company's contribution, the joint venture entered into a seven year, $156 million mortgage with interest at a coupon rate of 6.64%, and the joint venture partner contributed cash of approximately $42 million in exchange for a 50% equity interest. Upon transfer of the properties, the Company did not recognize a gain. In accordance with the joint venture agreement, the Company will continue to manage the properties and receive management fees.
3. MINORITY EQUITY INVESTMENT
On August 4, 1998 the Company, in a joint release with American Industrial Properties REIT [NYSE: IND] ("AIP"), announced the execution of a definitive agreement providing for the strategic investment in AIP by the Company. Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement dated to be effective as of July 30, 1998, the Company initially purchased 949,147 newly issued common shares of beneficial interest at $15.50 per share for approximately $14.7 million. Under the terms of a separate agreement, also dated to be effective as of July 30, 1998, the Company, in exchange for five industrial properties owned by the Company with a net book value of approximately $7.4 million and valued at approximately $19.5 million, acquired approximately 1.3 million additional newly issued AIP shares of beneficial interest. Upon contribution, the Company did not recognize a gain. Concurrent with entering into the Agreement, AIP increased its Board of Trust Managers by four positions and appointed the Company's designees to these positions.
On November 20, 1998, the shareholders of AIP approved additional purchases by the Company of up to 5,226,583 newly issued shares of AIP for approximately $81.0 million. In January 1999, the Company acquired 1,543,005 shares of AIP's common stock at a price of $15.50 per share and 1,867,610 shares of AIP's common stock at a price of $14.93 per common share. In August 1999, the Company acquired 354,839 common shares of AIP at a price of $15.50 per share. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company owned 9,656,650 and
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
5,891,196 common shares, in AIP, respectively, representing approximately 46.1% and 34.5%, respectively, of AIP's total outstanding common shares.
The Company's investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The aggregate acquisition price for the shares exceeds the Company's share of the historical underlying net assets of AIP by approximately $28.6 million which has been assigned principally to real estate with the remainder to goodwill. The portion attributable to real estate is being amortized over 40 years and the amount associated with goodwill is being amortized over 15 years. AIP's share price closed on the NYSE at $12.375 per share on December 31, 1999 resulting in an aggregate market investment of approximately $119.5 million.
Pursuant to the agreement, AIP may as of March 3, 2000, under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, exercise a put right that would require the Company to purchase additional common or convertible preferred shares of AIP for a total amount not to exceed $166.6 million at a price not to exceed $15.50 and $14.00 per share, respectively. AIP can only exercise its right to put these additional shares for the purpose of financing property acquisitions approved by AIP's Board of Trust Managers. Based on the terms of the option, the Company has determined that the option approximates fair value.
Summarized financial information, as reflected on the accounts of AIP, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1999 and the period July 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998 is as follows (in thousands):

(1) Interest expense includes $0.1 million and $0.7 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, paid to the Company on advances made at an interest rate of 10.25%.
For the period from July 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998, the Company has recorded in equity in net income from minority equity investment, $0.7 million representing the Company's equity in AIP's $3.2 million of income excluding provisions for loss on real estate and change in control charges. The real estate impairment and change in control charges detailed above are reconciling items between the Company's proportionate share of AIP's reported results of operations and the amount reflected in the Company's financial statements as equity in net income from minority equity investment. These amounts were considered in DDR's allocation of purchase price associated with its investment in AIP as discussed above.
4. ACQUISITIONS AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of 45 shopping centers, excluding those acquired through joint ventures as discussed in Note 2 (3 in 1999, 35 in 1998 and 7 in 1997), at a total purchase price of $1.0 billion. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Significant acquisitions were as follows:
In 1998, in a single transaction with Continental Real Estate Companies of Columbus, Ohio, the Company completed the acquisition of 13 shopping centers, four of which were acquired through joint ventures. The 13 shopping centers total 2.2 million gross square feet of Company-owned retail space. The aggregate cost of these centers was $222.3 million of which the Company's share was $184.4 million. The Company's net investment was initially funded through its revolving credit facilities, cash and liabilities assumed of approximately $92.7 million, mortgages assumed of approximately $82.9 million (including $54.7 million of joint venture mortgage debt) and the issuance of OP Units valued at approximately $8.8 million. In certain circumstances and at the option of the Company, these units are exchangeable into 438,561 shares of the Company's common stock.
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
In July 1998, the Company acquired from Hermes Associates of Salt Lake City, Utah, nine shopping centers, one office building and eight additional expansion, development or redevelopment projects. The nine shopping centers aggregate 2.4 million square feet of total GLA. The total consideration for this portfolio was approximately $309 million comprised of $30.6 million of debt assumed, the issuance of OP Units, which are exchangeable, in certain circumstances and at the option of the Company, into 3,630,668 shares of the Company's common stock or cash, initially valued at $73.0 million, $194.2 million of cash and $11.2 million other liabilities assumed.
In July 1998, the Company also acquired 13 shopping centers aggregating approximately 1.6 million square feet in the St. Louis, Missouri area, at an aggregate cost of $152.5 million. Two of these centers were subsequently sold at an aggregate price of approximately $4.4 million. The Company also acquired a 50% ownership interest in the Sansone Group's management and development company. The Company's net investment in this portfolio aggregated $162.6 million comprised of $27.6 million of debt assumed and $135 million of cash.
The operating results of the acquired shopping centers are included in the results of operations of the Company from the date of purchase, including the acquisition of properties owned through joint ventures, discussed in Note 2. The properties owned through joint ventures are included in equity in net income of joint ventures in the statements of operations.
The following unaudited supplemental pro forma information is presented to reflect the effects of the common share offerings, preferred share offerings, debt offerings and the property acquisitions consummated through December 31, 1999, including the joint venture formations and acquisitions (Note 2), as if all such transactions had occurred on January 1, 1998 with regard to the 1998 and 1999 acquisitions and as if all such transactions relating to the 1997 and 1998 acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1997. Pro forma information is not presented for the year ended December 31, 1999 as the shopping centers acquired in 1999 were either under development or in the lease-up phase and, accordingly, the related operating information for such centers does not exist or would not be meaningful. The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of what actual results of operations would have been had the acquisitions occurred as indicated, nor does it purport to represent the results of the operations for future periods (in thousands, except per share data):

5. DISPOSITION OF REAL ESTATE
During 1999, the Company recorded a loss on disposition of real estate aggregating $2.2 million relating to the sale of a shopping center and residual land in Pensacola, Florida. The shopping center was sold to a major retailer. In connection with this disposition, the Company developed a 17,000 square foot shopping center adjacent to the site sold. In addition, the Company sold four properties at an aggregate gain of approximately $0.5 million which offsets the previously described loss within the consolidated statements of operations. Net proceeds received in conjunction with the above sales aggregated $13.9 million. During 1998, the Company sold various outlots adjacent to the Company's shopping centers, recognized an aggregate gain of $0.2 million, and received net proceeds of $6.7 million. During 1997, the Company sold two business centers and a shopping center, recognized an aggregate gain of $3.5 million and received net proceeds of $9.8 million.

DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
In July 1998, the Company advanced $20.0 million to a real estate developer which was evidenced by a mortgage note collateralized by six real estate projects. The mortgage note was repaid in March 1999.
At December 31, 1998 the Company had advances of $14.2 million in the form of a demand notes receivable from AIP with interest at 10.25%. The notes and related interest were repaid in January 1999.
7. DEFERRED CHARGES
Deferred charges consist of the following (in thousands):

Deferred financing costs................................... $7,298 $9,487
Less-accumulated amortization.............................. (3,382) (4,257)

|
The Company incurred deferred finance costs aggregating $0.2 million and $2.9 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, primarily relating to the Company's issuance of Senior Notes (Note 9) and unsecured revolving credit agreements (Note 8). Amortization of deferred charges was $1.5 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
During 1998, the Company wrote off $0.9 million (none in 1999 and 1997) of unamortized deferred finance costs in conjunction with the amendment and restructuring of its Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (Note 8) and the repayment of certain secured indebtedness.
8. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITIES
Since May 1995, the Company had maintained a $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility from a syndicate of financial institutions for which Bank One, NA serves as agent (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). During 1998, the Company amended and restructured this facility to increase the facility to $375 million, reduce the specified spread over LIBOR from 1.1% to 0.85%, modify certain covenants and extend the term for an additional year, through April 2001. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a competitive bid option for up to 50% of the facility amount. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recognized a non-cash extraordinary charge of approximately $0.9 million ($0.01 per share), relating to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs associated with the former revolving credit facility. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at variable rates based on prime rate or LIBOR plus a specified spread (0.85% at December 31, 1999). The spread is dependent on the Company's long term senior unsecured debt rating from Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. The Company is required to comply with certain covenants relating to total outstanding indebtedness, secured indebtedness, net worth, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets and debt service coverage. The facility also provides for a facility fee of 0.15% on the entire facility. The Unsecured Credit Facility is used to finance the acquisition and development of real estate, to provide working capital and for general corporate purposes. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, total borrowings under this facility aggregated $272.0 million and $132.0 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.3% and 6.5%, respectively.
In September 1996, the Company entered into a three year $10 million unsecured revolving credit facility with National City Bank (together with the $375 million Unsecured Credit Facility, the "Revolving Credit Facilities"). In June 1998, the Company renegotiated the terms of this facility to increase the facility to $20 million and reduce the interest rate by 15 basis points. In March 1999, the Company amended this facility to increase the available borrowings to $25 million, to convert it to a secured revolving credit facility and to extend the agreement through November 2002. This credit facility is secured by certain partnership investments. The
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Company maintains the right to reduce this facility to $20 million and to convert the borrowings to an unsecured revolving credit facility. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at variable rates based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus a specified spread (0.85% at December 31, 1999). The spread is dependent on the Company's long term senior unsecured debt rating from Standard and Poors and Moody's Investors Service. The Company is required to comply with certain covenants relating to total outstanding indebtedness, secured indebtedness, net worth, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets and debt service coverage. The facility also provides for commitment fees of 0.15% on the unused credit amount. At December 31, 1998, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility. At December 31, 1999, total borrowings under this facility aggregated $18.8 million with a weighted average interest rate of 7.3%.
Total fees paid by the Company on its revolving credit facilities in 1999, 1998 and 1997 aggregated approximately $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
9. FIXED RATE SENIOR NOTES
The following is a summary of the Company's outstanding unsecured fixed rate senior notes:
DECEMBER 31,
--------------------
1999 1998
-------- --------
Unsecured Fixed Rate Senior Notes (1).................. $517,470 $517,383
Pass-Through Asset Trust Securities (2)................ 74,841 74,771
-------- --------
$592,311 $592,154
======== ========
|
(1) Two of the senior notes were issued at a discount. The unamortized discount aggregated $0.2 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The effective interest rates of these notes range from 6.65% to 7.67% per annum.
(2) In March 1997, the Company issued, through a grantor trust, $75 million of Pass-Through Asset Trust Securities (PATS), due March 2002, at a discount to 99.53%. These certificates are secured by fifteen year notes maturing March 2012, issued by the Company to the trust. The trust sold an option which enables the option holder to re-market the certificates upon maturity in March 2002. Simultaneously with the sale of the certificates, the trust purchased the notes from the Company for a premium in the amount of the option payment. This premium, $1.2 and $1.3 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, is being amortized over the fifteen year life of the notes and is included in other liabilities. If the option holder does not elect to remarket the certificates, then they become due and payable in March 2002. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15. These notes have a coupon interest rate of 7.13% per annum.
The above fixed rate senior notes have maturities ranging from May 2000 to July 2018. Interest rates ranged from approximately 6.58% to 7.625% (averaging 7.2% at December 31, 1999 and 1998). These notes may not be redeemed by the Company prior to maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund. The fixed rate senior notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated May 1, 1994 which contains certain covenants including limitation on incurrence of debt, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets and debt service coverage. Interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15.
10. SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In August 1994, the Company issued, through an underwritten offering, $60 million of unsecured subordinated convertible debentures ("Debentures"). At their maturity, the remaining balance of $40.0 million was repaid on August 15, 1999. The Debentures bore interest at 7% per annum and interest was paid semi-
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
annually. The Debentures were convertible at anytime prior to maturity into common shares at a conversion price of $16.6875 per share.
Debentures in the principal amount of $6.8 million were converted into approximately 0.4 million common shares during 1998. In addition, upon conversion of the debentures, approximately $0.1 of unamortized debenture issue costs were charged to additional paid-in-capital during 1998 (none in 1999).
11. MORTGAGES PAYABLE AND SCHEDULED PRINCIPAL REPAYMENTS
At December 31, 1999, mortgages payable, collateralized by certain notes receivable, investments and real estate with a net book value of approximately $566.6 million and related tenants leases, are generally due in monthly installments of principal and/or interest and mature at various dates through 2027. Interest rates ranged from approximately 5.25% to 9.75% (averaging 8.3% at December 31, 1999 and 1998). Variable rate debt obligations, included in mortgages payable at December 31, 1999 and 1998, totaled approximately $110.6 million and $32.2 million, respectively. Interest rates on the variable rate debt averaged 7.3% and 6.3% at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
As of December 31, 1999, the scheduled principal payments of Revolving Credit Facilities, fixed rate senior notes and mortgages payable for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:
YEAR AMOUNT
---- ----------
2000 $ 183,218
2001 372,168
2002 135,308
2003 36,665
2004 70,883
Thereafter 353,809
----------
$1,152,051
==========
|
Principal payments in the year 2001 and 2002 include $272.0 million and $18.8 million, respectively, associated with the maturing of the Revolving Credit Facilities.
Principal payments in the year 2002 assume that the PATS option holder (Note 9) will not exercise the option to re-market the certificates and the trust will therefore put the certificates to the Company to finance the reacquisition of the PATS at maturity.
12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accruals and other liabilities
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying amount of straight-line rents receivable does not materially differ from their fair market value.
Notes receivable and advances to affiliates
The fair value is estimated by discounting the current rates at which similar loans would be made. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Debt
The carrying amounts of the Company's borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facilities approximate fair value because such borrowings are at variable rates. The fair value of the fixed rate senior notes was based on borrowings with a similar remaining maturity based on the Company's estimated interest rate spread over the applicable treasury rate. Fair value of the mortgages payable was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company's incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturities. Fair value of the Debentures was determined based on their closing price as of December 31, 1998, as reported by their New York Stock Exchange.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.
Financial instruments at December 31, 1999 and 1998, with carrying values that are different than estimated fair values are summarized as follows (in thousands):

See Note 3 for a description of the Company's funding commitment to its minority equity investment. The Company intends to continuously monitor and actively manage interest costs on its variable rate debt portfolio. The Company may, from time to time, enter into interest rate hedge agreements to manage interest costs and risks associated with changing interest rates. The Company did not enter into any such agreements during 1998 or 1999.
13. MINORITY EQUITY INTERESTS, PREFERRED OPERATING PARTNERSHIP MINORITY INTERESTS, OPERATING PARTNERSHIP MINORITY INTERESTS, PREFERRED SHARES AND COMMON SHARES
Minority Equity Interests
In 1998, the Company acquired, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Hermes Properties, through a subsidiary partnership a majority ownership interest in a shopping center and development parcels in Utah. The minority partners' equity interest in this partnership is $8.2 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Minority equity interest expense includes approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 related to the minority partner's share of net income.
In 1997, the Company acquired, through a subsidiary partnership, a majority ownership interest in two adjacent shopping centers located in North Olmsted, Ohio. At the date of acquisition the shopping centers were valued at $56.7 million. The Company contributed cash and assumed liabilities aggregating $40.4 million and the balance of $16.3 million was retained by the seller as a minority equity interest. The minority equity interest owners were entitled to a priority cash return of 6.5% per annum on their partnership capital account balance, as defined in the partnership agreement. The priority cash return during 1998 and 1997 aggregated approximately $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and has been reflected as a charge to minority equity interest in the consolidated statements of operations. In March 1998, the Company acquired the minority equity interest for $16.3 million.
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Preferred Operating Partnership Minority Interests
In December 1998, the Company completed a private placement of $35 million with a private investment partnership. This private placement was a combination of preferred equity securities and a warrant to purchase approximately 1.6 million common shares of the Company at a price of $21 5/8 per share or 1.4 million Class D cumulative redeemable preferred shares at a price of $25 per share. The Company recorded $32.9 million as preferred operating partnership minority interests and $2.1 million to additional paid in capital in respect of the warrant. The proceeds from this private placement were used to repay amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facilities. The preferred equity securities are structured as 8.5% cumulative redeemable preferred units of DDRC Great Northern L.P., a wholly owned, consolidated partnership. The preferred units are redeemable without restriction by the investment partnership, for cash or common shares at the option of the Company, and redeemable after five years by DDRC Great Northern L.P. for cash or common shares at the investment partnership's option. In addition, if the warrant is exercised, the Company has the right to redeem the preferred units. Generally, the warrant has a perpetual term, but will expire upon redemption of the preferred units.
In September 1999, the Company completed through a consolidated partnership a $75 million private placement of 0.3 million, 8.875% cumulative perpetual preferred "down-REIT" preferred partnership units, together with the above preferred units ("Preferred Units"), with an institutional investor. The units may be exchanged, under certain circumstances, for Class K, 8.875% cumulative preferred shares of the Company. The units may be exchangeable into common shares if the Company fails to pay dividends for six consecutive quarters. The net proceeds of approximately $73.1 million were effectively used to repay approximately $25.8 million in mortgage indebtedness and $40.1 million in Debentures which matured on August 15, 1999. The balance of the proceeds was used to repay variable rate borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facilities.
The Company reflected $5.2 million and $0.2 million as a charge to preferred operating partnership minority interest in the consolidated statements of operations relating to the accrued return associated with these Preferred Units at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Operating Partnership Minority Interests
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company had 4,702,282 and 4,581,104 OP Units outstanding, respectively. During 1999 and 1998 the Company acquired, through subsidiary partnerships, a majority ownership interest in several shopping centers. In conjunction with these acquisitions, the Company issued 139,276 and 4,563,210 OP Units in 1999 and 1998, respectively, which are exchangeable, under certain circumstances and at the option of the Company, into an equivalent number of the Company's common shares or for the equivalent amount of cash. In 1999, at the option of the OP Unit holder, 18,098 of these OP Units were exchanged and redeemed for cash by the Company. In connection with the Company's purchase of certain shopping centers during 1998 and the related issuance of approximately 3.6 million of the above mentioned OP Units, the Company provided a guarantee of the value of the OP Units, which includes the aggregate value derived from both the value of the OP Units and the distributions received pursuant to the terms of the OP Units. During 1999, the agreement was amended to provide for the settlement of the guarantee, if applicable, in cash, at the option of the Company. The Company intends to settle this guarantee in cash. The purchase of the related shopping center was recorded at the estimated fair value of the guaranteed amounts. Through the date of the amendment, contingently issuable OP Units are considered in weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of determining diluted earnings per share (Note 18).
The OP Unit holders are entitled to receive distributions, per OP Unit, equal to the per share distributions on the Company's common shares. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the unit holders received distributions aggregating $6.5 million, $2.9 million and $.01 million, respectively, which has been reflected as a charge to operating partnership minority interest in the consolidated statements of operations.

On August 3, 1998, each such shareholder received one share of common stock for each share of common stock held. This stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend. Accordingly, $2.9 million was transferred from additional paid in capital to common stock, representing the stated value of additional shares issued.
Common share issuances over the three year period ended December 31, 1999 are as follows:

Stock Repurchase Program
In February and August 1999, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Officers of the Company to implement a common share repurchase program in response to what the Company believed was a distinct undervaluation of the Company's common shares in the public market. At December 31, 1999, treasury stock recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet consisted of 1,860,300 common shares at a cost of $25.8 million.
14. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
In September 1999, the Company transferred its interest in a shopping center under development in Coon Rapids, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis, to a joint venture and simultaneously sold a 75% interest; the Company retained a 25% interest. The remaining 75% interest is held by an entity owned in part by a director of the Company. The Company was reimbursed $2.5 million by the joint venture partner relating to development costs previously incurred on this development. In addition, the Company received a development fee of approximately $0.5 million in 1999 from the entity's joint venture partner.
In September 1998, the Company sold two properties to a principal of one of the Company's joint venture partners. These properties aggregated approximately 33,000 square feet and were sold for approximately $4.4 million.
In June 1998, the Company acquired, from a partnership owned by the Company's Chairman Emeritus and an officer of the Company, approximately 18 acres of land, adjacent to a shopping center owned through one of the Company's joint ventures, at a purchase price of approximately $4.4 million.
In February 1998, the Company acquired a shopping center located in Idaho Falls, Idaho from a limited partnership in which the Company's Chairman Emeritus, the Chairman of the Board, and the Vice-Chairman of the Board owned, in the aggregate, through a separate partnership, a 1% general partnership interest. The shopping center aggregates approximately 0.2 million square feet of Company GLA. The initial purchase price of the property was approximately $6.5 million. In accordance with the purchase agreement, the Company paid an earnout of $0.6 million upon the leasing of vacant space in the center in January 1999.
In addition, in 1998 the Company paid to a partnership owned by the Chairman Emeritus approximately $0.1 million for leasing/sales commissions associated with leasing or sale of certain shopping center outlots. Also, the Company paid approximately $0.1 million and $0.7 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively, to a company owned by the brother-in-law of the Chairman of the Board relating to fees and commissions on the acquisition of several shopping centers in 1998.
The Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company received 100,000 stock options in his role as a Chairman of AIP's Board of Trustees. All benefits associated with these options were assigned to the Company.
In conjunction with the establishment of DDR's equity investment in certain entities (described in Note 2 as entities in which the Company has a 95% and 81% economic interest), the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer received voting shares. These entities were structured to meet certain REIT qualification requirements.
During 1999 and 1998, the Company periodically advanced funds to the
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in amounts up to $0.4 million.
The advances, which were made to reduce the outstanding principal balance, and
to prevent the sale of common shares in the Company from a margin account loan,
were outstanding for periods ranging from five to forty days with an interest
rate of LIBOR plus 0.85%. In addition,

In 1998, the eleven members of the Company's executive committee, either through the exercise of previously granted stock options or through the direct purchase of unissued shares had acquired 974,663 of the Company's common shares. The purchase of such shares was financed by a five-year personal loan program aggregating approximately $15 million (at market interest rates) from Bank One, NA. These loans are guaranteed by the Company. Four of these executives have subsequently resigned from the Company. The Company has agreed to maintain the guarantee. The individuals participating in the program are responsible for repayment of these personal loans and have fully indemnified the Company should the Company's guarantee be called upon.
The Company entered into a lease for office space owned by one of its principal partners/ shareholders. General and administrative rental expense associated with this office space aggregated $0.7 million, $0.7 million, and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Company continues to have management agreements with various partnerships and performs certain administrative functions on behalf of entities owned in part by a related party, in which management fee and leasing fee income of $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million was earned in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

17. BENEFIT PLANS
Stock Option and Other Equity Based Plans
Effective January 31, 1993, the Company established an incentive and non-qualified stock option plan under which 4,113,806 of the Company's common shares at December 31, 1999 were reserved for issuance to eligible employees. Options may be granted at per share prices not less than fair market value at the date of grant, and in the case of incentive options, must be exercisable within ten years thereof (or, with respect to options granted to certain shareholders, within five years thereof). Options granted under the plan generally become exercisable on the year after the date of grant as to one third of the optioned shares, with the remaining options being exercisable over the following two-year period.
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
In 1997, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 900,000 stock options to the Company's Chief Executive Officer which vested upon issuance of the options granted. 700,000 options were issued outside of a qualified plan.
In addition to the stock option plan described above, the Company granted options for a total of 970,000 shares to its directors and certain officers who are not employees of the Company. Such options were granted at the fair market value on the date of grant. Options with respect to 50,000 shares were exercisable one year from the date of grant, and options with respect to the remaining 920,000 shares become exercisable one year after the date of grant as to one third of the 920,000 shares with the remaining options being exercisable over the following two-year period.

As of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, 3,589, 2,848 and 3,097 options (in thousands), respectively were exercisable. The weighted average exercise prices of these exercisable options were $16.69, $16.36 and $15.03 at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
During 1998, the Company's executive committee purchased approximately 0.9 million of the shares exercised (See Note 14).
In April 1996 and May 1998, the shareholders approved equity-based award plans ("Award Plan") which provide for the grant, to employees of the Company, of options to purchase commons shares of the Company,
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
rights to receive the appreciation in value of common shares, award of common shares subject to restrictions on transfer, awards of common shares issuable in the future upon satisfaction of certain conditions, rights to purchase common shares and other awards based on common shares. Under the terms of the Award Plans, awards may be granted with the respect to an aggregate of not more than 3,200,000 common shares.
In 1996, the Board of Directors approved a grant of 50,000 restricted shares of common stock and 30,000 Performance Units to the Company's Chief Executive Officer. In 1999, the Board of Directors approved a grant of 47,095 restricted shares of common stock to several executives of the Company. The restricted stock granted in 1996 and 1999 vests in equal annual amounts through the years 2000 and 2003, respectively, and had a weighted average fair value at the date of a grant of $15.3125 and $13.8125, respectively, which was equal to the market value of the Company's stock at the date of grant. The 30,000 Performance Units will be converted into common shares, ranging from 30,000 common shares to 200,000 common shares at the end of the five year period (December 31, 2000) depending upon achievement of performance objectives. The actual number of shares issued will be based upon the average annual total shareholder return during the five year period ending December 31, 2000. During 1999, the Company reduced its accrual relating to the performance unit awards by approximately $1.3 million. Expenses associated with restricted shares aggregated by $0.3 million in 1999. During 1998 and 1997 approximately $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, was charged to expense associated with awards under the equity based award plan relating to restricted stock and performance units.
The Company applies APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation cost for stock options when the option exercise price equals or exceeds the market value on the date of the grant. The compensation cost which is required to be charged against income for all of the above mentioned plans was $1.8 million, $1.8 million and $5.8 million for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair values of the options granted at the grant dates, consistent with the method set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

401(k) Plan
Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering substantially all of the officers and employees of the Company which permits participants to defer up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation. The Company will match 25% of the employee's contribution up to a maximum of 6% of an employee's annual compensation. The Company may also make additional discretionary contributions. Employees' contributions are fully vested and the Company's matching contributions vest 20% per year, including service prior to the plan's effective date. Once an employee has been with the Company five years, all matching contributions are fully vested. The Company's contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were made by the issuance of Company stock with a market value of $0.06 million, $0.05 million, and $0.04 million, respectively. The 401(k) plan is fully funded at December 31, 1999.
Elective Deferred Compensation Plan
Effective October 15, 1994, the Company adopted a non-qualified elective deferred compensation plan for certain key executives which permits eligible employees to defer up to 25% of their compensation. The Company will match 25% of an employee's contribution up to a maximum of 6% of an employee's annual compensation, after deducting contributions, if any, made in conjunction with the Company's 401(k) plan. Through March 31, 1998, both the deferred and matching contributions were made in Company performance units as well as the gains and losses resulting from the fluctuation in the Company's quoted share price. In April 1998, the Company elected to amend the investment elections available to employees such that election of the Company's stock is no longer permitted. Deferred compensation charged to expense related to an employee contribution is fully vested and the Company's matching contribution vests 20% per year, including service prior to the plan's effective date. Once an employee has been with the Company five years, all matching contributions are fully vested. The Company's contribution for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $0.02 million, $0.06 million and $0.04 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, this contribution included earnings attributable to the employees' accounts. At December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, deferred compensation under this plan aggregated $0.9 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The plan is fully funded at December 31, 1999.

18. EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
Earnings Per Share (EPS) have been computed pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128. Further, as discussed in Note 1, in 1998, the Company effected a stock split in the form of a stock dividend in which each shareholder received one share of common stock for each share of common stock held. All years presented have been restated to reflect this stock split.
The following table provides a reconciliation of both income before extraordinary item and the number of common shares used in the computations of "basic" EPS, which utilized the weighted average of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and "diluted" EPS, which includes all such shares.

Options to purchase 5,125,764, 4,420,981 and 5,036,412 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively (Note 17), a portion of which has been reflected above using the treasury stock method.
The weighted average contingently issuable OP units which are exchangeable, in certain circumstances into common shares aggregated 2.2 million and 0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company intends to settle these contingently issuable OP Units in cash (Note 13).
Restricted shares totaling 47,676, 20,000 and 30,000, respectively, were unvested at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and consequently, were not included in the computation of basic EPS for all years presented (Note 17).
DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
Performance Units issued in 1996, convertible into 30,000 to 200,000 common shares of the Company, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for 1998 and 1997 because the effect was antidilutive (Note 17).
Debentures, which were convertible prior to their August 1999 maturity into common shares of the Company at a price of $16.6875, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for all years presented because the effect was antidilutive (Note 10).
The conversion of the Company's joint venture partners' interest in several joint ventures were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect was antidilutive, for all years presented, where applicable (Note 2) except for the joint venture in Merriam, Kansas which was dilutive in 1998. Significant estimates were utilized by the Company in the determination of fair value for certain of the Company's joint ventures where the joint venture partner has the right to convert its interest in the partnership to common shares of the Company or cash, at the election of the Company (Note 2). These estimates were used to determine the number of common shares assumed to be issued by the Company upon conversion, for purposes of determining dilution, if any. In 1999, the Company made the determination that they will settle these conversions in cash.
The exchange into common stock of the minority interests were not included in the computation of diluted EPS in all years presented because the effect of assuming conversion was antidilutive (Note 13).
The redemption of the Preferred Units, including those exercisable through the exercise of the warrant into common shares, was not included in the computation of diluted EPS in 1999 and 1998 because the effect was antidilutive or they were considered contingently issuable (Note 13).

If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee
or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of
any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in
Section 1506.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.
(d) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of
Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option,
in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for
the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section
316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or
pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier
than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such
solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of
the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or
agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the
Outstanding
Securities shall be computed as of such record date; PROVIDED that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.
(f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.
SECTION 105. NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,
(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or
(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.
SECTION 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Registered Securities by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.
If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of
Bearer Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication.
If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to any particular Holder of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
SECTION 107. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
SECTION 108. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
SECTION 109. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. In case any provision in this Indenture or in any Security or coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 110. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or coupons, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
SECTION 111. GOVERNING LAW. This Indenture and the Securities and coupons shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.
SECTION 112. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security or coupon other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof), payment of interest or any Additional Amounts or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, PROVIDED that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

(24) any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture).
All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining

in the case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may
otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution (subject to
Section 303) and set forth in such Officers' Certificate or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be
issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be
reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of additional
Securities of such series.
If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series.
SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS. The Securities of each series
shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. With respect to Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in
the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series,
the Registered Securities of such series, other than Registered Securities
issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and the Bearer
Securities of such series, other than Bearer Securities issued in global form
(which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of
$5,000.
SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon, and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.
Securities or coupons bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities or coupons.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupon appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and PROVIDED FURTHER that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished a certificate to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such other certificate as may be specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier of the date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the date on which any temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this Indenture. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent global Bearer Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global Security. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled.
If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate or formula, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
(i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that
(a) the form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(b) the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and
(c) such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles; and
(ii) an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of the Securities have been complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, that no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.
If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or a Company Order, or an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.
Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301.
No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security or Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, 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 is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 310 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all
purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee 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, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form.
Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 304(b) or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), 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 (accompanied by any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and PROVIDED FURTHER that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303. 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.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, this Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in global form other than through the facilities of The Depositary Trust Company. If any such temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form, then such temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a depositary or common depositary (the "Common Depositary"), for the benefit of Euroclear and CEDEL, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct).
Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global Security, an
equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by CEDEL as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301; and PROVIDED FURTHER that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 303.
Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear and CEDEL, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or CEDEL. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside the United States.
Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and CEDEL on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and CEDEL to the Trustee of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301). Notwith-
standing anything to the contrary herein contained, the certifications made
pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the
preceding two paragraphs of this Section 304(b) and of the third paragraph of
Section 303 of this Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are the
beneficial owners of the temporary global Security with respect to which such
certification was made will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same
series and of like tenor on the Exchange Date or the date of certification if
such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such
beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments
of principal or interest owing with respect to a beneficial interest in a
temporary global Security will be made unless and until such interest in such
temporary global Security shall have been exchanged for an interest in a
definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and CEDEL and not
paid as herein provided shall be returned, prior to the expiration of two years
after such Interest Payment Date, (i) to the Trustee, in order to be repaid to
the Company, if originally paid by the Trustee, and (ii) to the Company, if
originally paid by the Company. The Trustee shall be under no duty to make any
inquiry of either Euroclear or CEDEL as to whether any such interests remains
unpaid.
SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing identical terms and provisions.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any such Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.
If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution
and (subject to Section 303) set forth in the applicable Officers' Certificate,
or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section
301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be
exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender
of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all
unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If
the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon
or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange
may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing
coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be
waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such
security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying
Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any
Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall
have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the portion of such
payment equal to the face amount of such surrendered coupon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by
coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons
at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such
office or agency in a permitted exchange for a Registered Security of the same
series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on
(i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date
and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related
proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be
surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted
Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date
or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered
Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only
to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the depositary for any permanent global Security is the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), then, unless the terms of such global Security expressly permit such global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Securities, a global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such global Security selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the applicable global Security or Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor depositary with respect to such global Security or Securities. If (x) a successor depositary for such global Security or Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a majority in principal amount of the applicable series of Securities represented by such global
Security or Securities advise DTC to cease acting as depository for such global Security or Securities, or (z) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all Outstanding Securities (but not less than all) of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or more global Securities shall no longer be represented by such global Security or Securities, then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive Securities of like series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security or Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global Security. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption; and PROVIDED FURTHER that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) 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 attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1305 not involving any transfer.
The Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such
Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be
redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such
Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of
the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable as
Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of
redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and
there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or
(ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected
for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or
(iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that
such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series
and like tenor, PROVIDED that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously
surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of
the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.
SECTION 306. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee
(i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security or coupon, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its
request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a
destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not
destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal
amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security
to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to
the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or coupon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any), any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to, Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security of any series with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon 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 and their coupons, if any, 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 or coupons.
SECTION 307. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301 or as provided in Article XVI with respect to Securities convertible into Common Shares or Preferred Shares, interest on any Registered Security that 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 at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each installment of interest on any Registered Security may at the Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States.
Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made, in the case of a Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States.
Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear and/or CEDEL, as the case may be, with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. or the Common Depositary, as the
case may be, for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.
In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of any series that 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 registered Holder thereof 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 Registered 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 in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, but such publications shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered 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). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and
Section 305, 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 308. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments
made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such global Security.
SECTION 309. CANCELLATION. All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it.
SECTION 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

deposited with and held by the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.
SECTION 402. APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, the coupons and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any), and any interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
ARTICLE 5
REMEDIES
SECTION 501. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to any particular series of Securities, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether or not it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(1) default in the payment of any interest upon or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of that series or of any coupon appertaining thereto, when such interest, Additional Amounts or coupon becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or
(2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable at its Maturity; or
(3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of any Security of that series; or
(4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture with respect to any Security of that series (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or
(5) if any event of default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness of the Company (including an event of default with respect to any other series of Securities), or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument of the
Company under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness of the Company (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company has guaranteed or for which the Company is directly responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, shall happen and shall result in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $10,000,000 becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having been waived, rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder. Subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such default unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such default or (B) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from the holder of any such indebtedness or from the trustee under any such mortgage, indenture or other instrument; or
(6) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company,
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; or
(8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.
As used in this Section 501, the term "Bankruptcy Law" means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors and the term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or other similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 502. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and payable.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series):
(A) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of all Outstanding Securities of that series and any related coupons,
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Outstanding Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities,
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and
(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or 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.
SECTION 503. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. The Company covenants that if:
(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security of any series and any related coupon when such interest or Additional Amount becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity,
then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities of such series and coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for 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 the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
SECTION 504. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall
have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
(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 Securities of such series and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or coupon in any such proceeding.
SECTION 505. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES OR COUPONS. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
SECTION 506. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest and any Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606;
SECOND: To the payment of amounts then due and unpaid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, to the extent required by Article XVII;
THIRD: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts payable, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and
FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
SECTION 507. LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupon shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;
(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;
it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.
SECTION 508. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Security or payment of such coupon on the respective due dates expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in
the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 509. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 510. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 511. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.
SECTION 512. CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, PROVIDED that
(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,
(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and
(3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not joining therein.
SECTION 513. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of
all the Securities of such series and any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default
(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such series or any related coupons, or
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 514. WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 515. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable cost, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date.

For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series.
SECTION 602. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. Subject to the provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d):
(1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other than delivery of any Security, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;
(3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

(5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;
(6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;
(7) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; and

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
SECTION 603. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificate of authentication, and in any coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.
SECTION 604. MAY HOLD SECURITIES. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent.
SECTION 605. MONEY HELD IN TRUST. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.
SECTION 606. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT. The Company agrees:
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and
(3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its own part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or Section 501(7), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.
As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities or any coupons.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.
SECTION 607. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY; CONFLICTING INTERESTS. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
SECTION 608. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609.
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.
(d) If at any time:
(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or
(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607(a) and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or
(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in any such case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.
(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall 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, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a
Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such series.
(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of Securities in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 609. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien and claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.
(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto, pursuant to Article Nine hereof, wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.
(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.
(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.
SECTION 610. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, PROVIDED such corporation shall be otherwise 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 or coupons shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities or coupons so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.
SECTION 611. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at
any time resign 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 an Authenticating Agent 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 such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with
respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in
Section 106. 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 herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.
The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:
This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

SECTION 801. CONSOLIDATIONS AND MERGERS OF COMPANY AND SALES, LEASES AND CONVEYANCES PERMITTED SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS. The Company may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into any other corporation, provided that in any such case, (i) either the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor corporation shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a State thereof and such successor corporation shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on and all Additional Amounts, if any, payable in respect of, all the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company by supplemental indenture, complying with Article Nine hereof, satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation, and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary as a result thereof as having been incurred by the Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.
SECTION 802. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF SUCCESSOR CORPORATION. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance and upon any such assumption by the successor
corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the predecessor corporation, except in the event of a lease, shall be relieved of any further obligation under this Indenture and the Securities. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.

ARTICLE 10
COVENANTS
SECTION 1001. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture.
Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of Bearer Securities on or before Maturity, other than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1005 in respect of principal of (or premium, if any, on) such a Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to Section 301, at the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be paid by check to the registered Holder of the Registered Security or other person entitled thereto against surrender of such Security.
SECTION 1002. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. If Securities
of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company shall
maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or
agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment or conversion, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the
Company will maintain: (A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an
office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented
or surrendered for payment or conversion, where any Registered Securities of
that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of
that series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture
may be served and where Bearer Securities of that series and related coupons may
be presented or surrendered for payment in the circumstances described in the
following paragraph (and not otherwise); (B) subject to any laws or regulations
applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located
outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series
and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including
payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant
to Section 1005) or conversion; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Securities of
that series are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock
exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so
require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that
series in Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United
States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed
on such exchange; and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto,
in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States an
office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of each such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail
to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons
may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any
Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1005) at the offices specified in the Security, in London, England, and
the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands, and the
Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, no payment of principal, premium or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Securities of a series are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any Bearer Security (including any Additional Amounts payable in respect of Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1005) shall be made at the office of the Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture, is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.
The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in such city and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency other than Dollars, or so long as it is required under any other provision of the Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent.
SECTION 1003. MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of any Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest or Additional Amounts and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will
(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest; and
(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.
Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any), interest or Additional Amounts has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause notice to be mailed to the holders of such Securities or published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, to the effect that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
SECTION 1004. STATEMENT AS TO COMPLIANCE. The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (which as of the date hereof is December 31), a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture and, in the event of any noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof. For purposes of this Section 1006, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.
SECTION 1005. ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. If any Securities of a
series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to
the Holder of any Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto
Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301. Whenever
in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context except in the case of
Section 502(1), the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on,
or in respect of, any Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or
the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series,
such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts provided by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301
to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be
payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the
payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not
be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where
such express mention is not made.
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related coupons who are not United States persons without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of the series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal or interest with respect to any Securities of a series or related coupons until it shall have received a certificate
advising otherwise and (ii) to make all payments of principal and interest with
respect to the Securities of a series or related coupons without withholding or
deductions until otherwise advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the
Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on
their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any
of them or in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this
Section or in reliance on the Company's not furnishing such an Officers'
Certificate.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES
SECTION 1101. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.
SECTION 1102. ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the
Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at
least 45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption referred to in
Section 1104 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of
Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption
provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the
Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' 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 issued on the same day with the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption (excluding any such Outstanding Securities held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), by such method as the 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.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) 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 Security
redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed.
SECTION 1104. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.
Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the Redemption Date,
(2) the Redemption Price, accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any,
(3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed,
(4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,
(5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,
(6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, or for conversion,
(7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case,
(8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity
satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished,
(9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made,
(10) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any, and
(11) if applicable, that a Holder of Securities who desires to convert Securities for redemption must satisfy the requirements for conversion contained in such Securities, the then existing conversion price or rate, and the date and time when the option to convert shall expire.
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.
SECTION 1105. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. At or prior to 10:00 a.m. on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.
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 in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest; and PROVIDED
FURTHER that, except as otherwise provided with respect to Securities convertible into Common Shares or Preferred Shares, installments of interest on Registered Securities 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 Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal
to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.
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 borne by the Security.
SECTION 1107. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or Securities of the same series, 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.
SECTION 1108. CONVERSION ARRANGEMENT ON CALL FOR REDEMPTION. In connection with any redemption of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities called for redemption by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust for the Holders of Securities, on or before 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Redemption Date, an amount not less than the Redemption Price, together with interest, if any, accrued to the Redemption Date of such Securities, in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Eleven, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Securities, including all accrued interest, if any, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Securities not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the last day on
which Securities of such series called for redemption may be converted in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of such Securities, subject to payment to the Trustee or Paying Agent of the above-described amount. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall hold and pay to the Holders whose Securities are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it in the same manner as it would pay moneys deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Securities. Without the Trustee's and the Paying Agent's prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee and the Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee and the Paying Agent from, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purpose and conversion of any Securities between the Company and such purchasers, including the costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Paying Agent (including the fees and expenses of their agents and counsel) in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture.

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 such Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory 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.

The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any previously called for redemption) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities; PROVIDED that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.
SECTION 1203. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND. Not
less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any
series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 for the Securities of such series) and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash
to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such Officers'
Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated
to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before each such
sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities 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 1106 and 1107.
ARTICLE 13
REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS
SECTION 1301. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities, if any, and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article.
SECTION 1302. REPAYMENT OF SECURITIES. Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that at or prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any series, a percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.
SECTION 1303. EXERCISE OF OPTION. Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an "Option to Elect Repayment" form
on the reverse of such Securities. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Trustee must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 60 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1) the Security so providing for such repayment together with the "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse thereof duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) or (2) a telegram, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of the Security, the principal amount of the Security, the principal amount of the Security to be repaid, the CUSIP number, if any, or a description of the tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse of the Security, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, facsimile transmission or letter; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such telegram, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. If less than the entire principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified. The principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company.
SECTION 1304. WHEN SECURITIES PRESENTED FOR REPAYMENT BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE. If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, the principal amount of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of such coupons; and PROVIDED FURTHER that, in the case of Registered Securities, installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon,
unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) 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 Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the amount payable therefor as provided in Section 1302 an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made as provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.
If the principal amount of any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal amount (together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) set forth in such Security.
SECTION 1305. SECURITIES REPAID IN PART. Upon surrender of any Registered Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.
ARTICLE 14
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
SECTION 1401. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE; COMPANY'S OPTION TO EFFECT DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1402 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1403, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 1402 (if applicable) or Section 1403 (if
applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.
SECTION 1402. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Company's
exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any
Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section
1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such
defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
"Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections of
this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section, and to have
satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except
for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the
Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306,
1002 and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on
such Securities as contemplated by Section 1005, (C) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article. Subject to
compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Company may exercise its option under
this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403
with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.
SECTION 1403. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. If specified pursuant to
Section 301, upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall
be released from its obligations under any covenant contained herein with
respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on
and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied
(hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the
purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and
the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such other covenant, but
shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For
this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Company may
omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or
indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or
such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under
Section 501(4) or 501(7) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as
specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.
SECTION 1404. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or Section 1403 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any coupons appertaining thereto:

shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that
(i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the
Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution
of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon
such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.
(e) In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.
SECTION 1405. DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 1405, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 301, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 1404(a) has been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a currency or currency unit other than that in
which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the currency or currency unit in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the currency or currency unit in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate for such currency or currency unit in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency or currency unit in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1404 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.
Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to Section 606, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1404 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.

ARTICLE 16
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES
SECTION 1601. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Securities of any series which are convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Holder of such Securities shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and (unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. Each reference in this Article Sixteen to "a Security" or "the Securities" refers to the Securities of the particular series that is convertible into Common Shares. If more than one series of Securities with
conversion privileges are Outstanding at any time, the provisions of this Article Sixteen shall be applied separately to each such series.
SECTION 1602. RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO CONVERT SECURITIES INTO
COMMON SHARES. Subject to and upon compliance with the terms of the Securities
and the provisions of Section 1108 and this Article Sixteen, at the option of
the Holder thereof, any Security of any series of any authorized denomination
which is convertible into Common Shares, or any portion of the principal amount
thereof which is $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000, may, at any time
during the period specified in the Securities of such series, or in case such
Security of portion thereof shall have been called for redemption, then in
respect of such Security or portion thereof until and including, but not after
(unless the Company shall default in payment due upon the redemption thereof)
the close of business on the Redemption Date (except that in the case of
repayment at the option of the Holder, if specified in the terms of the relevant
Security, such right shall terminate upon the Company's receipt of written
notice of the exercise of such option), be converted into duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares, as specified in such
Security, at the conversion price or conversion rate for each $1,000 principal
amount of Securities (such initial conversion rate reflecting an initial
conversion price specified in such Security) in effect on the conversion date,
or, in case an adjustment in the conversion price has taken place pursuant to
the provisions of this Article Sixteen, then at the applicable conversion price
as so adjusted, upon surrender of the Security or Securities, the principal
amount of which is so to be converted, to the Company at any time during usual
business hours at the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance with
the provisions of Section 1002, accompanied by a written notice of election to
convert as provided in Section 1603 and, if so required by the Company and/or
the Trustee, by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and/or the Trustee, as applicable, duly executed by
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. All Securities
surrendered for conversion shall, if surrendered to the Company or any
conversion agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and cancelled by
it, or shall, if surrendered to the Trustee, be cancelled by it, as provided in
Section 310.
The initial conversion price or conversion rate in respect of a series of Securities shall be as specified in the Securities of such series. The conversion price or conversion rate will be subject to adjustment on the terms set forth in Section 1605 or such other or different terms, if any, as may be specified by Section 301 for Securities of such series. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of any portion of it.
SECTION 1603. ISSUANCE OF COMMON SHARES ON CONVERSIONS. As promptly as practicable after the surrender, as herein provided, of any Security or Securities for conversion into Common Shares, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered at its said office or agency to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Security or Securities so surrendered a certificate or certificates representing the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares into which such Security or Securities may be converted in accordance with the terms thereof and the provisions of this Article Sixteen. Prior to delivery of such certificate or certificates, the Company shall require written notice at its said office or agency from the Holder of the Security or Securities so surrendered stating that the Holder irrevocably elects to convert such Security or Securities, or, if less than the entire principal
amount thereof is to be converted, stating the portion thereof to be converted. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address and social security or other taxpayer identification number) in which said certificate or certificates are to be issued. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time that such Security or Securities shall have been surrendered for conversion and such notice shall have been received by the Company or the Trustee, the rights of the Holder of such Security or Securities as a Holder shall cease at such time, the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares upon conversion of such Security or Securities shall be treated for all purposes as having become either record holder or holders of such Common Shares at such time and such conversion shall be at the conversion price in effect at such time. In the case of any Security of any series which is converted in part only, upon such conversion, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company's request and at the Company's expense, the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, as requested by such Holder, a new Security or Securities of such series of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such Security.
If the last day on which such Security may be converted is not a Business Day in a place where the conversion agent for that Security is located, such Security may be surrendered to that conversion agent on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
The Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for Common Shares upon conversion while its stock transfer books are closed for a meeting of shareholders or for the payment of dividends or for any other purpose, but certificates for Common Shares shall be delivered as soon as the stock transfer books shall again be opened.
SECTION 1604. NO PAYMENT OR ADJUSTMENT FOR INTEREST OR DIVIDENDS. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, Securities surrendered for conversion into Common Shares during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date (or Special Record Date) next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date (except Securities called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such period) when surrendered for conversion must be accompanied by payment (by certified or official bank check to the order of the Company payable in clearing house funds at the location where the Securities are surrendered) of an amount equal to the interest thereon which the Holder is entitled to receive on such Interest Payment Date. Payment of interest shall be made, on such Interest Payment Date or such other payment date (as set forth in Section 307), as the case may be, to the Holder of the Securities as of such Regular Record Date or Special Record Date, as applicable. Except where Securities surrendered for conversion must be accompanied by payment as described above, no interest on converted Securities will be payable by the Company on any Interest Payment Date subsequent to the date of conversion. No other payment or adjustment for interest or dividends is to be made upon conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon conversion of any Original Issue Discount Security, the fixed number of Common Shares into which such Security is convertible delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof shall be applied, first, to the portion attributable to the accrued original issue discount relating to the period from the date of issuance to the date of conversion of such Security, and, second, to the portion attributable to the balance of the principal amount of such Security.
SECTION 1605. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION PRICE. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, the conversion price for Securities convertible into Common Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (x) pay a dividend or make a distribution on Common Shares in Common Shares, (y) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares or (z) combine the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price for the Securities of such series shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any such Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Security been converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a dividend or the effective date in the case of subdivision or combination. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend, except as provided in subsection (h) below, and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
(b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of Common Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Shares (as defined for purposes of this subsection (b) in subsection (e) below), at the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the conversion price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so offered would purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional Common Shares receivable upon exercise of such rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after such record date. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders of the Securities of such series to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than such current market price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants plus the exercise price thereof, the value of such consideration or exercise price, as the case may be, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c) In case the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Shares) or evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights or warrants referred to in subsection (b) above) (any of the foregoing being herein in this subsection (c) called the "Special Securities"), then, in
each such case, unless the Company elects to reserve such Special Securities for distribution to the Holders of Securities of such series upon the conversion so that any such Holder converting such Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to the Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of Special Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had, immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities, converted Securities into Common Shares, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the current market price per share (as defined for purposes of this subsection (c) in subsection (e) below) of Common Shares on the record date mentioned above less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be conclusive) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed applicable to one Common Share, and the denominator of which shall be the current market price per Common Shares (as defined in subsection (e) below); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed applicable to one Common Shares is equal to or greater than the current market price per Common Shares (as defined in subsection (e) below) on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Securities of such series shall have the right to receive the amount and kind of Special Securities such holder would have received had he converted such Securities immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special Securities. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately, except as provided in subsection (h) below, after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(d) If, pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) above, the number of Common Shares shall have been adjusted because the Company has declared a dividend, or made a distribution, on the outstanding Common Shares in the form of any right or warrant to purchase securities of the Company, or the Company has issued any such right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such unexercised right or unexercised warrant, the conversion price shall forthwith be adjusted to equal the conversion price that would have applied had such right or warrant never been declared, distributed or issued.
(e) For the purpose of any computation under subsection (b) above, the current market price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the reported last sales prices for the thirty consecutive Trading Days (as defined below) commencing forty-five Trading Days before the date in question. For the purpose of any computation under subsection (c) above, the current market price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the reported last sales prices for the ten consecutive Trading Days before the date in question. The reported last sales price for each day (whether for purposes of subsection (b) or subsection (c)) shall be the reported last sales price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported on the New York Shares Exchange Composite Tape or, if the Common Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Shares Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or admitted to trading or, if
not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the National Market System of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System (NASDAQ") or, if the Common Shares are not quoted on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market as reported by NASDAQ or, if bid and asked prices for the Common Shares on each such day shall not have been reported through NASDAQ, the average of the bid and asked prices for such day as furnished by any New York Shares Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Shares selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or, if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of the Common Shares as determined by a New York Shares Exchange Member firm regularly making a market in the Common Shares selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or, if no such quotations are available, the fair market value of the Common Shares as determined by a New York Shares Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Shares selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof. As used herein, the term "Trading Day" with respect to the Common Shares means (x) if the Common Shares are listed or admitted for trading on the New York Shares Exchange or another national securities exchange, a day on which the New York Stock Exchange or such other national securities exchange is open for business or (y) if the Common Shares are quoted on the National Market System of the NASDAQ, a day on which trades may be made on such National Market System or (z) otherwise, any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
(f) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; and, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article Sixteen (other than this subsection (f)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax free nature of a distribution to the holders of Common Shares. All calculations under this Article Sixteen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100 of a share, as the case may be, with one-half cent and 1/200 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. Anything in this Section 1605 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those required by this Section 1605, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Company to its shareholders shall not be taxable.
(g) Whenever the conversion price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee, at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, and with the office or agency maintained by the Company for the conversion of Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1002, an Officers' Certificate, setting forth the conversion price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the
correctness of such adjustment. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or any facts or computations set forth therein, except to exhibit said certificate from time to time to any Holder of a Security of such series desiring to inspect the same. The Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion price to be mailed to the Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register of the Company.
(h) In any case in which this Section 1605 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (y) issuing to the Holder of any Security of such series converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (z) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fractional Common Shares pursuant to Section 1606 hereof.
SECTION 1606. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES TO BE ISSUED. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon any conversion of Securities. If more than one Security of any series shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. Instead of a fraction of a share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment (computed to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward) in respect of such fraction of a share in an amount equal to the same fractional interest of the reported last sales price (as defined in Section 1605(e)) of the Common Shares on the Trading Day (as defined in Section 1605(e)) next preceding the day of conversion.
SECTION 1607. PRESERVATION OF CONVERSION RIGHTS UPON CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE. In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), or in the case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the corporation formed by such consolidation or the corporation into which the Company shall have been merged or the corporation which shall have acquired such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee, a supplemental indenture, in accordance with the provisions of Articles Eight and Nine as they relate to supplemental indentures, providing that the Holder of each Security then Outstanding of a series which was convertible into Common Shares shall have the right thereafter to convert such Security into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property, including cash, receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of Common Shares of the Company into which such Securities might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental indenture shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect and shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article Sixteen. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall have any liability or responsibility for determining the correctness of any provision
contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and, subject to the provisions of Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate with respect thereto and an Opinion of Counsel with respect to legal matters related thereto. If in the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, the stock or other securities and property receivable by a Holder of the Securities includes stock or other securities and property of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary. The above provisions of this Section 1607 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers.
SECTION 1608. NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF THE SECURITIES OF A SERIES PRIOR TO TAKING CERTAIN TYPES OF ACTION. With respect to the Securities of any series, in case:
(a) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of its capital stock or of any other right;
(b) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of Common Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (except for cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings of the Company);
(c) of any subdivision or combination of Common Shares or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval by the shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and at the office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1002, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders of Securities of such series, at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register of the Company, at least ten days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date as of which the holders of Common Shares to be entitled to receive any such rights, warrants or distribution are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which any such subdivision, combination, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or other action is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common Shares shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such subdivision, combination,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or other action. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 1608 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, warrant, subdivision, combination, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or other action, or the vote upon any of the foregoing. Such notice shall also be published by and at the expense of the Company not later than the aforesaid filing date at least once in an Authorized Newspaper.
SECTION 1609. COVENANTS TO RESERVE SHARES FOR ISSUANCE ON CONVERSION OF SECURITIES. The Company covenants that at all times it will reserve and keep available out of each class of its authorized Common Shares, free from preemptive rights, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of Securities of any series as herein provided, such number of Common Shares as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities of such series. The Company covenants that all Common Shares which shall be so issuable shall, when issued or delivered, be duly and validly issued Common Shares into which Securities of such series are convertible, and shall be fully paid and nonassessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to preemptive rights and that, upon conversion, the appropriate capital stock accounts of the Company will be duly credited.
SECTION 1610. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. The Company covenants that if any Common Shares required to be reserved for purposes of conversion of Securities hereunder require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority under any Federal or State law, pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any national or regional securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed at the time of delivery of any Common Shares, before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly registered, listed or approved, as the case may be.
SECTION 1611. PAYMENT OF TAXES UPON CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES ISSUED UPON CONVERSION. The issuance of certificates for Common Shares upon the conversion of Securities shall be made without charge to the converting Holders for any tax (including, without limitation, all documentary and stamp taxes) in respect of the issuance and delivery of such certificates, and such certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the holders of the Securities converted; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
SECTION 1612. TRUSTEE'S DUTIES WITH RESPECT TO CONVERSION PROVISIONS. The Trustee and any conversion agent shall have no duty, responsibility or liability to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the conversion rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion
agent shall be accountable with respect to the registration under securities laws, listing, validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares, or of any other securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Security, and neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent makes any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee and any conversion agent, subject to the provisions of Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act, shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article Sixteen.
SECTION 1613. CONVERSION OF SECURITIES INTO PREFERRED STOCK. Notwithstanding any thing to the contrary in this Article Sixteen, the Company may issue Securities that are convertible into Preferred Shares, including Preferred Shares convertible into Common Shares, in which case all terms and conditions relating to the conversion of Securities into Preferred Shares, including any terms similar to those provided in Sections 1601 through 1612, shall be as provided in or pursuant to an appropriate Board Resolution or in any indenture supplemental hereto or as otherwise contemplated by Section 301.
ARTICLE 17
SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES
SECTION 1701. SECURITIES SUBORDINATED TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of Senior Indebtedness.
In the event (a) of any distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceeding or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise, except a distribution in connection with a merger or consolidation or a conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of the properties of the Company which complies with the requirements of Article Eight, or (b) that a default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, or (c) that the principal of the Securities of any series (or in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the portion of the principal amount thereof referred to in Section 502) shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 502 and such declaration shall not have been rescinded and annulled as provided in Section 502, then:
(1) in a circumstance described in the foregoing clause (a) or
(b) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness, and in the circumstance
described in the foregoing clause (c) the holders of all Senior
Indebtedness (other than Other Obligations) outstanding at the time the
principal of such Securities (or in the case of Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount) shall have been so
declared due and payable, shall first be entitled to receive payment of
the full amount due thereon in respect of principal,
premium (if any), Interest and Additional Amounts, or provision shall be made for such payment in money or money's worth, before the Holders of any of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities;
(2) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article with respect to the securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment), to which the Holders of any of the Securities would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities under this Indenture; and
(3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article with respect to the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, provided that the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such reorganization or readjustment), shall be received by the Holders of any of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 1702. SUBROGATION. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness to which the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is in the circumstances subordinated as provided in Section 1701, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash,
property or securities of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in full, and, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article which otherwise would have been made to the Holders of the Securities shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 1703. OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY UNCONDITIONAL. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts in respect of the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.
SECTION 1704. PAYMENTS ON SECURITIES PERMITTED. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities, shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts in respect of the Securities in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article.
SECTION 1705. EFFECTUATION OF SUBORDINATION BY TRUSTEE. Each Holder of Securities, by his acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
SECTION 1706. KNOWLEDGE OF TRUSTEE. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, any Holder of Securities, any paying or conversion agent of the Company or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section at least 3 Business Days prior to the date upon which, by the terms hereof, any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security) then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have all power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it during or after such 3 Business Day period.
SECTION 1707. TRUSTEE MAY HOLD SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. The
Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth
in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it,
to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in
Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act or elsewhere in this Indenture shall
deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
Nothing in this Article shall subordinate any claims of, or payments to, the Trustee (under or pursuant to Section 606) to Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 1708. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS NOT IMPAIRED. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

SECTION 104. ACTS OF HOLDERS. (a) Any request, demand,

all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing. If Securities of
a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to
be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be
embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series
voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in
writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and
held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of
such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record
(and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments
or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or
of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a
Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive
in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the
Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any
meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in
Section 1506.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.
(d) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
(e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of
Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option,
in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for
the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section
316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or
pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier
than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such
solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of
the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or
agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the
Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date;
PROVIDED that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the
Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later
than eleven months after the record date.
(f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.
SECTION 105. NOTICES, ETC., TO TRUSTEE AND COMPANY. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,
(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or
(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.
SECTION 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER.

In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.
If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication.
If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to any particular Holder of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
SECTION 107. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
SECTION 108. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
SECTION 109. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE. In case any provision in this Indenture or in any Security or coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 110. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or coupons, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.
SECTION 112. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security or coupon other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof), payment of interest or any Additional Amounts or principal (and premium, if any) need not be
made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, PROVIDED that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

in the case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may
otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution (subject to
Section 303) and set forth in such Officers' Certificate or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be
issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be
reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of additional
Securities of such series.
If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series.
SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS. The Securities of each series
shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. With respect to Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in
the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series,
the Registered Securities of such series, other than Registered Securities
issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and the Bearer
Securities of such series, other than Bearer Securities issued in global form
(which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of
$5,000.
SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.
Securities or coupons bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities or coupons.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupon appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and PROVIDED FURTHER that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Bearer
Security may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished a certificate to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such other certificate as may be specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier of the date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the date on which any temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this Indenture. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent global Bearer Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global Security. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled.
If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate or formula, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
(i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that
(a) the form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(b) the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and
(c) such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles; and
(ii) an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of the Securities have been complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.
If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or a Company Order, or an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.
Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301.
No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security or Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, 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 is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee 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, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form.
Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 304(b) or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), 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 (accompanied by any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and PROVIDED FURTHER that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303. 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.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, this Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in global form other than through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company. If any such temporary Security is issued in global form, then such temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a depositary or common depositary (the "Common Depositary"), for the benefit of Euroclear and CEDEL, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct).
Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by CEDEL as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301; and PROVIDED FURTHER that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 303.
Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, to request such exchange on
his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear and CEDEL, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or CEDEL. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside the United States.
Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like
tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global
Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring
prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and CEDEL on
such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and CEDEL to the Trustee
of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this
Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section
301), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date
to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such
temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each
delivered to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate dated no
earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such
Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such
other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein contained, the certifications made pursuant to
this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the preceding two
paragraphs of this Section 304(b) and of the third paragraph of Section 303 of
this Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of
the temporary global Security with respect to which such certification was made
will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor
on the Exchange Date or the date of certification if such date occurs after the
Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as
otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal or interest owing
with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary global Security will be
made unless and until such interest in such temporary global Security shall have
been exchanged for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so
received by Euroclear and CEDEL and not paid as herein provided shall be
returned, prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date,
(i) to the Trustee, in order to be repaid to the Company, if originally paid by
the Trustee, and (ii) to the Company if originally paid by the Company. The
Trustee shall be under no duty to make any inquiry of either Euroclear or CEDEL
as to whether any such interest remains unpaid.
SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the "Security Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing identical terms and provisions.
Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any such Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.
If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and (subject to Section 303) set forth in the applicable Officers' Certificate, or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the portion of such payment equal to the face amount of such surrendered coupon, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a Registered Security of the same series
and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the depositary for any permanent global Security is The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), then, unless the terms of such global Security expressly permit such global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Securities, a global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such global Security selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the applicable global Security or Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor depositary with respect to such global Security or Securities. If (x) a successor depositary for such global Security or Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a majority in principal amount of the applicable series of Securities represented by such global Security or Securities advise DTC to cease acting as depositary for such global Security or Securities or (z) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all Outstanding Securities (but not less than all) of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or more global Securities shall no longer be represented by such global Security or Securities, then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive Securities of like series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security or Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global Security. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such exchanges may occur
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption; and PROVIDED FURTHER that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) 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 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 Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1305 not involving any transfer.
The Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such
Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be
redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such
Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of
the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable as
Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of
redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and
there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or
(ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected
for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or
(iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that
such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series
and like tenor, PROVIDED that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously
surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security
which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.
SECTION 306. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee
(i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security or coupon, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its
request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a
destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not
destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal
amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security
to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or coupon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any), any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to, Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security of any series with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon 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 and their coupons, if any, 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 or coupons.
SECTION 307. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest on any Registered Security that 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 at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each installment of interest on any Registered Security may at the Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States.
Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made, in the case of a Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States.
Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear and/or CEDEL, as the case may be, with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. or the Common Depositary, as the case may be, for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.
In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of any series that 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 registered Holder thereof 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 Registered 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 in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, but such publications shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered 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). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the
Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and
Section 305, 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 308. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such global Security.
SECTION 309. CANCELLATION. All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so
acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it.
SECTION 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
ARTICLE FOUR

SECTION 401. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE. This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series herein expressly provided for and any right to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in Section 1012), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series when
(1) either
(a) all Securities of such series theretofore

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(b) all Securities of such series and, in the case of
(i) or (ii) below, any coupons appertaining thereto not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation
(i) have become due and payable, or
(ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or
(iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,
and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable, sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities and such coupons not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the

Section 606, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under
Section 611 and, if money shall have been deposited with and held by the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.
SECTION 402. APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, the coupons and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any), and any interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
ARTICLE FIVE
REMEDIES
SECTION 501. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to any particular series of Securities, means any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether or not it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(1) default in the payment of any interest upon or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of that series or of any coupon appertaining thereto, when such interest, Additional Amounts or coupon becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or
(2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable at its Maturity; or
(3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of any Security of that series; or
(4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture with respect to any Security of that series (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or
(5) if any event of default under any bond, debenture, note or
other evidence of indebtedness of the Company (including an event of
default with respect to any other series of securities), or under any
mortgage, indenture or other instrument of the Company under which
there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any
indebtedness of the Company (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of
which the Company has guaranteed or for which the Company is directly
responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), whether such
indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, shall happen and
shall result in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $10,000,000
becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which
it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such
indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having been
waived, rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there
shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company
by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at
least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series a written notice specifying such default and requiring the
Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such
acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice
is a "Notice of Default" hereunder. Subject to the provisions of
Section 601, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such
default unless either (A) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall
have actual knowledge of such default or (B) the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from
the holder of any such indebtedness or from the trustee under any such
mortgage, indenture or other instrument; or
(6) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(C) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company,
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; or
(8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.
As used in this Section 501, the term "Bankruptcy Law" means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors and the term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or other similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 502. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and payable.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series):
(A) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of all Outstanding Securities of that series and any related coupons,
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Outstanding Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities,
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and
(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or 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.
SECTION 503. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. The Company covenants that if:
(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security of any series and any related coupon when such interest or Additional Amount becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity,
then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities of such series and coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for 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 the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
SECTION 504. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
(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 Securities of such series and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or coupon in any such proceeding.
SECTION 505. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES OR COUPONS. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
SECTION 506. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest and any Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606;
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts payable, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and
THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
SECTION 507. LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupon shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;
(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;
it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.
SECTION 508. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, IF ANY, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Security or payment of such coupon on the respective due dates expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 509. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 510. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 511. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing
upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.
SECTION 512. CONTROL BY HOLDERS OF SECURITIES. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, PROVIDED that
(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,
(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and
(3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not joining therein.
SECTION 513. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default
(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such series or any related coupons, or
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 514. WAIVER OF USURY, STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
SECTION 515. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

(1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other than delivery of any Security, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;
(3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

(5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;
(6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
SECTION 603. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificate of authentication, and in any coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.
SECTION 604. MAY HOLD SECURITIES. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent.
SECTION 605. MONEY HELD IN TRUST. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.
SECTION 606. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT. The Company agrees:
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and
(3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its own part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or Section 501(7), the expenses (including the reasonable
charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.
As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities or any coupons.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.
SECTION 607. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY; CONFLICTING INTERESTS. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
SECTION 608. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609.
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.
(d) If at any time:

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or
(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in any such case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.
(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall 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, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such series.
(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of Securities in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 609. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien and claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.
(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto, pursuant to Article Nine hereof, wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.
(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.
(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.
SECTION 610. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, PROVIDED such corporation shall be otherwise 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 or coupons shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities or coupons so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.
SECTION 611. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT. At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption or repayment thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign 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 an Authenticating Agent 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 such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities
of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 106. 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 herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.
The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:
This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of Bearer Securities on or before Maturity, other than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1012 in respect of principal of (or premium, if any, on) such a Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to Section 301, at the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be paid by check to the registered Holder of the Registered Security or other person entitled thereto against surrender of such Security.
SECTION 1002. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. If Securities
of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company shall
maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or
agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment or conversion, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the
Company will maintain: (A) in The Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, an
office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented
or surrendered for payment or conversion, where any Registered Securities of
that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of
that series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture
may be served and where Bearer Securities of that series and related coupons may

laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series
which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities
of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment
(including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of that
series pursuant to Section 1012) or conversion; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the
Securities of that series are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any
other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange

that series in Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United
States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed
on such exchange; and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto,
in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States an
office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of each such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail
to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons
may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any
Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1012) or conversion at
the offices specified in the Security, in London, England, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the office or agency of the Company in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee, at its offices located at 120 Broadway, 33rd Floor, New York, New york 10271, as Paying Agent in such city and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of the Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent.
SECTION 1003. MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of any Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest or Additional Amounts and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will
(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest; and
(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.
Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any), interest or Additional Amounts has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with GAAP is greater than 65% of the sum of (i) the Company's Undepreciated Real Estate Assets as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the Trustee) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt and (ii) the purchase price of all real estate assets acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such calendar quarter, including those obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt;
(b) In addition to the limitation set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 1004, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service for any 12 consecutive calendar months within the 15 calendar months immediately preceding the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5 times the Maximum Annual Service Charge on the Debt of the Company and all Subsidiaries to be outstanding immediately after the incurring of such additional Debt.
(c) For purposes of this Section 1004, Debt shall be deemed to be "incurred" by the Company or a Subsidiary whenever the Company or such Subsidiary shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof.

The Company will not, in respect of any shares of any class

payable in capital stock of the Company) thereon, (b) apply any of its property
or assets to the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement
thereof, (c) set apart any sum for the purchase, redemption or other acquisition

Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, with the Trustee) prior to such declaration or other action and
(ii) $20,000,000; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing limitation shall not
apply to any declaration or other action referred to above which is necessary to
maintain the Company's status as a "real estate investment trust" under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if the aggregate principal amount of
all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis
determined in accordance with GAAP at such time is less
than 65% of the Company's Undepreciated Real Estate Assets as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the Trustee) prior to such declaration or other action.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 1005 will not prohibit the payment of any dividend within 30 days of the declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions hereof.

SECTION 1008. INSURANCE. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep all of its insurable properties insured against loss or damage at least equal to their then full insurable value with insurers of recognized responsibility and having a rating of at least A:VIII in Best's Key Rating Guide.
SECTION 1009. PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CLAIMS.

SECTION 1010. PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

The Company will also in any event (x) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date (i) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports which the Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if the Company were subject to such Sections, and (ii) file with the Trustee copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if the Company were subject to such Sections and (y) if filing such documents by the Company with the Commission is not permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, promptly upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder.

For purposes of this Section 1011, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.
SECTION 1013. ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. If any Securities of a
series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to
the Holder of any Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto
Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301. Whenever
in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context except in the case of
Section 502(1), the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on,
or in respect of, any Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or
the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series,
such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts provided by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301
to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be
payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the
payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not
be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where
such express mention is not made.
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest
Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of
that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a
payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to
each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been
any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned
Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's
principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an
Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying
Agents whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the
Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series
or any related coupons who are not United States persons without withholding for
or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in
the Securities of the series. If any such withholding shall be required, then
such Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required
to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that series or
related coupons and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the
Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. In the event that
the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the
above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be
entitled (i) to assume that no such withholding or deduction is required with
respect to any payment of principal or interest with respect to any Securities
of a series or related coupons until it shall have received a certificate
advising otherwise and (ii) to make all payments of principal and interest with
respect to the Securities of a series or related coupons without withholding or
deductions until otherwise advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the
Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on
their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any
of them or in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this
Section or in reliance on the Company's not furnishing such an Officers'
Certificate.
SECTION 1014. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1004 to 1011, inclusive, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice.
All notices of redemption shall state:

(5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,
(6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, or for conversion,

(8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished,
(9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made,

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.
SECTION 1105. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. At or prior to 10:00 a.m. on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an
amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.
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 in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest; and PROVIDED FURTHER that, except as otherwise provided with respect to Securities convertible into Common Shares or Preferred Shares, installments of interest on Registered Securities 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 Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal
to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of
them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in
respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.
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 borne by the Security.
SECTION 1107. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or Securities of the same series, 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.
SECTION 1108. CONVERSION ARRANGEMENT ON CALL FOR REDEMPTION. In connection with any redemption of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities called for redemption by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust for the Holders of Securities, on or before 10:00 a.m. New York time on the Redemption Date, an amount not less than the Redemption Price, together with interest, if any, accrued to the Redemption Date of such Securities, in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Eleven, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Securities, including all accrued interest, if any, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Securities not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof may, at the option of the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the last day on which Securities of such series called for redemption may be converted in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of such Securities, subject to payment to the Trustee or Paying Agent of the above-described amount. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall hold and pay to the Holders whose Securities are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it in the same manner as it would pay moneys deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Securities. Without the Trustee's and the Paying Agent's prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee and the Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee and the Paying Agent from, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purpose and conversion of any Securities between the Company and such purchasers, including the costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Paying Agent (including the fees and expenses of their agents and counsel) in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture.
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 such Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory 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. The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any previously called for redemption) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities, or which have otherwise been acquired by the Company; PROVIDED that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.
SECTION 1203. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND. Not
less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any
series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 for the Securities of such series) and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash
to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such Officers'
Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated
to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before each such
sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities 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 1106 and 1107.
ARTICLE THIRTEEN
REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS
SECTION 1301. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities, if any, and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article.
SECTION 1302. REPAYMENT OF SECURITIES. Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that at or prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any series, a percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.
SECTION 1303. EXERCISE OF OPTION. Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Securities. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Trustee must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 60 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1) the Security so providing for such repayment together with the "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse thereof duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) or (2) a telegram, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"), or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of the Security, the principal amount of the Security, the principal amount of the Security to be repaid, the CUSIP number, if any, or a description of the tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" on the reverse of the Security, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, facsimile transmission or letter; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such telegram, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. If less than the entire principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified. The principal amount of any
Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company.
SECTION 1304. WHEN SECURITIES PRESENTED FOR REPAYMENT BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE. If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, the principal amount of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of such coupons; and PROVIDED FURTHER that, in the case of Registered Securities, installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) 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 Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the amount payable therefor as provided in Section 1302 an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made as provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.
If the principal amount of any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal amount (together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the
rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) set forth in such Security.
SECTION 1305. SECURITIES REPAID IN PART. Upon surrender of any Registered Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
SECTION 1401. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE; COMPANY'S OPTION TO EFFECT DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1402 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1403, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 1402 (if applicable) or Section 1403 (if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.
SECTION 1402. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Company's
exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any
Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section
1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such
defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
"Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections of
this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied
all of its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for
the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the
Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306,
1002 and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on
such Securities as contemplated by Section 1012, (C) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article. Subject to
compliance with this Article Fourteen, the
Company may exercise its option under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403 with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.
SECTION 1403. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Company's exercise
of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of
or within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under
Sections 1004 to 1011, inclusive, and, if specified pursuant to Section 301, its
obligations under any other covenant, with respect to such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant
defeasance"), and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with Sections 1004 to 1011, inclusive, or such other
covenant, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes
hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect
to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Company
may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to
any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such
Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event
of Default under Section 501(4) or 501(7) or otherwise, as the case may be, but,
except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.
SECTION 1404. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or Section 1403 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any coupons appertaining thereto:
(a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Fourteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in such currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities and coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge,
(i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal
or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory

Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on
the day on which such payments are due and payable in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such

(d) In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.
(e) In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

Counsel to the effect that either (i) as a result of a deposit
pursuant to subsection (a) above and the related exercise of
the Company's option under Section 1402 or Section 1403 (as
the case may be), registration is not required under the
Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the Company, with respect to the trust funds representing such deposit or by the Trustee for such trust funds or (ii) all necessary registrations under said Act have been effected.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.
SECTION 1405. DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 1405, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series and the related coupons, whether or not present or represented at the meeting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1504, if any action is to be taken at a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected thereby, or of the Holders of such series and one or more additional series:
(i) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting; and
(ii) the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series that vote in favor of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be taken into account in determining whether such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has been made, given or taken under this Indenture.
SECTION 1505. DETERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS; CONDUCT AND
ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS. (a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture,
the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for
any meeting of Holders of Securities of a series in regard to proof of the
holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in
regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote,
and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem
appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations,
the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104
and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in
Section 104 or by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy
witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized by
Section 104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may
provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may
be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or
other proof.
(b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 1502(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.
(c) At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him; PROVIDED, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.
(d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1502 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.
SECTION 1506. COUNTING VOTES AND RECORDING ACTION OF MEETINGS. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for
or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any Series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation (the "Company", which terms include any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of , on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (or any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof) (each such Stated Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date being hereinafter referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest thereon, at Interest Rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the Default Rate per annum specified above on any overdue principal, premium and/or interest. The Company will pay interest in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, if any, specified above (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date to the holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or "Other/Additional Provisions" apply to this Note as specified above, this Note shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such "Other/Additional Provisions".
Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to this Note) to, but excluding, the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an "Interest Period"). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for ("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on any Record Date, and shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable repayment of this Note, a duly completed election form as contemplated on the reverse hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee
maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently located at 120 Broadway, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10271, or at such other paying agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Company may determine; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such payment is to be made in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars as set forth below, such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the holder hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note (and, if applicable, a duly completed election form) is presented and surrendered at the aforementioned office of the Trustee in time for the Trustee to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date will be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained at the aforementioned office of the Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a holder of U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the Specified Currency specified above is other than United States dollars, the equivalent thereof in the Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having identical or different terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by such holder.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and any payment is to be made in the Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions hereof, such day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the principal financial center of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is Euro, such day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open); provided, further, that, with respect to Notes for which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, such day is also a London Business Day (as defined below). "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in the currency (including composite currencies) specified in this Note as the Designated LIBOR Currency for which LIBOR is calculated are transacted in the London interbank market. It being understood that if no such currency or composite currency is specified in this Note, the Designated LIBOR Currency shall be U.S. dollars.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or
currency of the country which issued the Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of such debts). If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, any such amounts so payable by the Company will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified above into United States dollars for payment to the holder of this Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the holder of this Note may elect to receive such amounts in the Specified Currency pursuant to the provisions set forth below.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency, any United States dollar amount to be received by the holder of this Note will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all holders of Notes scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the Trustee at its corporate trust office (or at the office of the New York presenting agent) in The City of New York on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. The holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars or a composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if the Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise specified on the face hereof. The "Market Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as certified
for customs purposes by (or if not so certified, as otherwise determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under such circumstances in United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if such composite currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars. The amount of each payment in United States dollars shall be computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars. The component currencies of the composite currency for this purpose (collectively, the "Component Currencies" and each, a "Component Currency") shall be the currency amounts that were components of the composite currency as of the last day on which the composite currency was used. The equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars shall be calculated by aggregating the United States dollar equivalents of the Component Currencies. The United States dollar equivalent of each of the Component Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency, or as otherwise specified on the face hereof.
If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is divided into two or more currencies, the amount of the original Component Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original Component Currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note.

(Form of Fixed Rate Senior Security)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Senior Debt Securities (the "Debt Securities") of the Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1994, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the "Indenture"), between the Company and NATIONAL CITY BANK, as Trustee (the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of Debt Securities designated as "Medium-Term Notes Due Nine Months or More from Date of Issue" (the "Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples thereof or the minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.
This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated Maturity Date.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (each, a "Redemption Date"), on notice given no more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. The Initial Redemption Percentage, if any, shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof until the Redemption Price is 100% of unpaid principal amount to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the holder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at a repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount to be repaid,
together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment (each, a "Repayment Date"). For this Note to be repaid, this Note must be received, together with the form hereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, by the Trustee at its corporate trust office not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note as specified on the
face hereof, the amount payable to the holder of this Note in the event of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of
(i) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of
the Discount, as defined below) and, in the event redemption of this Note (if
applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the
Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (ii) any unpaid
interest accrued thereon, from the Original Issue Date to the date of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity. The difference between the
Issue Price and 100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to herein
as the "Discount", and the Discount will be ratably accrued over the term of
this Note for purposes of determining the amount payable upon redemption,
repayment or acceleration of maturity of this Note.
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, on behalf of the holders of all such Debt Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the holders of Debt Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange heretofore or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the same terms and conditions, as requested by the holder hereof surrendering the same.

DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation (the "Company", which terms include any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of , on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (or any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof) (each such Stated Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date being hereinafter referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest thereon, at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions specified above and on the reverse hereof with respect to one or more Interest Rate Bases specified above until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the Default Rate per annum specified above on any overdue principal, premium and/or interest. The Company will pay interest in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, if any, specified above (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date to the holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date.
Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to this Note) to, but excluding, the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an "Interest Period"). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for ("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on any Record Date, and shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable repayment of this Note, a duly completed election form as contemplated on the reverse hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently located at 120 Broadway, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10271, or at such other paying
agency in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Company may determine; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such payment is to be made in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars as set forth below, such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the holder hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note (and, if applicable, a duly completed election form) is presented and surrendered at the aforementioned office of the Trustee in time for the Trustee to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date will be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained at the aforementioned office of the Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a holder of U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the Specified Currency specified above is other than United States dollars, the equivalent thereof in the Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having identical or different terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by such holder.
If any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after the Maturity Date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of the country which issued the Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of such debts). If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, any such amounts so payable by the Company will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified above into United States dollars for payment to the holder of this Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the holder of this Note may elect to receive such amounts in the Specified Currency pursuant to the provisions set forth below.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency, any United States dollar amount to be received by the holder of this Note will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on such
payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all holders of Notes scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the Trustee at its corporate trust office in The City of New York on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. The holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars or a composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if the Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise specified on the face hereof. The "Market Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as certified for customs purposes by (or if not so certified, as otherwise determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under such circumstances in United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if such composite currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars. The amount of each payment in United States dollars shall be computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars. The component currencies of the composite currency for this purpose (collectively, the "Component Currencies" and each, a "Component Currency") shall be the currency amounts that were components of the composite currency as of the last day on which the composite currency was used. The equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars shall be calculated by aggregating the United States dollar equivalents of the Component Currencies. The United States dollar equivalent of each of the Component Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the
most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency, or as otherwise specified on the face hereof.
If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is divided into two or more currencies, the amount of the original Component Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original Component Currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof and, if so specified above, in the Addendum hereto, which further provisions shall have the same force and effect as if set forth on the face hereof.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, if the face of this Note specifies that an Addendum is attached hereto or that "Other/Additional Provisions" apply, this Note shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such "Other/Additional Provisions".
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Developers Diversified Realty Corporation has caused this Note to be executed.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Form of Fixed Rate Senior Security)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Senior Debt Securities (the "Debt Securities") of the Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1994, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the "Indenture"), between the Company and NATIONAL CITY BANK, as Senior Trustee (the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of Debt Securities designated as "Medium-Term Notes Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue" (the "Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples thereof or the minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.
This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated Maturity Date.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (each, a "Redemption Date"), on notice given no more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. The Initial Redemption Percentage, if any, shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof until the Redemption Price is 100% of unpaid principal amount to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the holder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at a repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount to be repaid,
together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment (each, a "Repayment Date"). For this Note to be repaid, this Note must be received, together with the form hereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, by the Trustee at its corporate trust office not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as an Original Issue Discount Note, the amount payable to the holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity of this Note will be equal to the sum of (1) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of Discount, as defined below) and, in the event of any redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage specified in this Note (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (2) any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note from the Original Issue Date to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. As used herein, the "Discount" shall mean the difference between the Issue Price of an Original Issue Discount Note and par.
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this Note, such Discount will be accrued using a constant yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the initial interest rate applicable to this Note and an assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial Period") is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.
The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:
(i) Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note" or an "Inverse Floating Rate Note", this Note shall be designated as a "Regular Floating Rate Note" and, except as set forth below or on the face hereof, shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
(ii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note", then, except as set forth below or on the face hereof, this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the face hereof to the Maturity Date shall be the Fixed Interest Rate specified on the face hereof or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.
(iii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as an "Inverse Floating Rate Note", then, except as set forth below or on the face hereof, this Note shall bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate hereon shall not be less than zero. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the rate with respect to each Interest Rate Basis will be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below. Except as set forth above or on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as hereinafter defined) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the principal financial center of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is Euro, such day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open); provided, further, that, with respect to Notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, such day is also a London Business Day (as defined below). "London Business Day"
means any day on which dealings in the currency (including composite currencies) specified in this Note as the Designated LIBOR Currency for which LIBOR is calculated are transacted in the London interbank market. It being understood that if no such currency or composite currency is specified in this Note, the Designated LIBOR Currency shall be U.S. dollars.
The "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will be the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be the last working day of the month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San Francisco") publishes the Index (as defined below); and the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Designated LIBOR Currency is British pounds sterling, in which case the "Interest Determination Date" will be the applicable Interest Reset Date.

If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified on the face hereof, the "Interest Determination Date" pertaining to this Note shall be the most recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest Reset Date.
CD RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the CD Rate, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate Interest Determination Date") as the
rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519),
Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication ("H.15(519)") under the
heading "CDs (Secondary Market)", or, if not published in H.15(519) by 9:00
a.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the CD Rate will be the rate
on such CD Interest Determination Date set forth in the daily update of
H.15(519), available through the world wide website of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System at HTTP://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or
any successor site or publication ("H.15 Daily Update"), for the day in respect
of certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified in this Note
under the caption "CDs (Secondary Market)." If such rate is not yet published in
either H.15(519) of the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the CD Rate to be the
arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on such CD Interest Determination Date, of three leading nonbank
dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in New York City
(which may include the Agents or their affiliates)
selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks for negotiable certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified in this Note in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time. If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the CD Rate will remain the CD Rate then in effect on such CD Interest Determination Date.
CMT RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the CMT rate, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Rate Interest Determination
Date") as the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined
below) under the caption "...Treasury Constant Maturities...Federal Reserve
Board Release H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45 P.M.", under the column for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT
Telerate Page is 7051, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and
(ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the week, or the month, as
applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the
relevant page or is not displayed by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519). If such
rate is no longer published or is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with
respect to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of
the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate
formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the
relevant H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will
be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on
such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written
records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers
(each, a "Reference Dealer") in The City of New York selected by the Calculation
Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and
eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations
of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of
approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity
of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the
Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three such Treasury notes quotations, the
CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean
of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New
York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference
Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by
the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of
equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of
equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of
the number of years that is the next highest to the
Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least U.S.$100 million. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Interest Rate Determination Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used.
"Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity of the United States Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be 2 years.
"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on the page specified on the face hereof (or any other page as may replace such page on that service (or any successor service) for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519)). If no such page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052.
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date") as the Money Market Yield (as defined below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial". In the event that such rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Money Market Yield of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source under the heading "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial". If such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is "Aa", or the equivalent from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.
"Money Market Yield" means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:
where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the Interest Period for which interest is being calculated.
EURIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as EURIBOR, EURIBOR shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "EURIBOR Interest Determination Date") as the EURIBOR rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI - The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the index maturity specified in this Note as that rate appears on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, on page 248 or any other page as may replace page 248 on that service, which is commonly referred to as "Telerate Page 248," as of 11:00 a.m. (Brussels time). If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent will request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the index maturity specified in this Note commencing on the Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S. $1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone, as defined below, as selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Brussels time), on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the index maturity specified in this Note commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S. $1 million in euro. If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, the EURIBOR rate in effect for the period will be the same as EURIBOR for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was not interest reset period, the rate of interest will be the initial interest rate. "Euro-zone" means the region comprised of member states of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the treaty on European Union.
ELEVENTH DISTRICT COST OF FUNDS RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for
this Note is specified on the face hereof as the Eleventh District Cost of Funds
Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (an "Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date") as the rate equal to the monthly weighted average
cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls, as
set forth under the caption "11th District" on the display of Bridge Telerate,
Inc. (or any successor service) on Page 7058 ("Telerate Page 7058") as of 11:00
A.M., San Francisco time, on such
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, then the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly weighted average cost of funds paid by member institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that was most recently announced (the "Index") by the FHLB of San Francisco as such cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If the FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce the Index on or prior to such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for the calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate determined as of such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate in effect on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is
specified on the face hereof as the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate
shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Federal
Funds Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date for United
States dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal
Funds (Effective)" as displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor
service) on page 120 or any other page that may replace the applicable page on
that service ("Telerate Page 120") or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date, the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15
Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
displaying such rate, under the heading "Federal Funds/(Effective)." If such
rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not yet published in either
H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Federal
Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date shall be calculated
by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the
last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by
three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The
City of New York (which may include the Agents or their affiliates) selected by
the Calculation Agent, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Federal
Funds Rate Interest Determination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the brokers

If fewer than two such offered rates appear, or if no such rate appears, as applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be determined in accordance with the provisions described in clause (ii) below.
(ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time.

PRIME RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereto as the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date as such rate is published in
H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan." If such rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the rate on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the Agents) in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent.

TREASURY RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity, as such rate appears on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any such successor service) on page 56 (or any other page as may replace page 56) on that service ("Telerate Page 56") or on page 57 (or any other page as may replace page 57) on that service ("Telerate Page 57"), or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield on the rate for such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High" or, if not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate of such Treasury Bills as announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of the Auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity are not reported as provided above by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if no such Auction is held, then the Treasury Rate shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury bills having the Index Maturity specified in this Note as published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market" or, if not yet published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source, then the Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of three primary United States government securities dealers (which may include the Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation
Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index maturity. If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting, the Treasury Rate determined as of that Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate in effect on the Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.
The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon on or before each Calculation Date. The "Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the Holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date.
Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the applicable Interest Period. Unless otherwise specified as the Day Count Convention on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis or by the actual number of days in the year if the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. Unless otherwise specified as the Day Count Convention on the face hereof, the interest factor for this Note, if the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, shall be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the Applicable Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof applied.
All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, and all amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note shall be rounded, in the case of United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a Specified Currency other than United States dollars, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and Events of Default with respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the Debt Securities at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Debt Securities at the time outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, on behalf of the holders of all such Debt Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the holders of Debt Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation (the "Company", which terms include any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of , on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (or any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof) (each such Stated Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repayment Date being hereinafter referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest thereon, at Interest Rate per annum specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the Default Rate per annum specified above on any overdue principal, premium and/or interest. The Company will pay interest in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, if any, specified above (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date; provided, HOWEVER, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date to the holder of this Note on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date. Interest on this Note will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or "Other/Additional Provisions" apply to this Note as specified above, this Note shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such "Other/Additional Provisions".
Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid or duly provided for with respect to this Note) to, but excluding, the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an "Interest Period"). The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for ("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on any Record Date, and shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable repayment of this Note, a duly completed election form as contemplated on the reverse hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently
located at 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New York 10001, or at such other paying agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Company may determine; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such payment is to be made in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars as set forth below, such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the holder hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note (and, if applicable, a duly completed election form) is presented and surrendered at the aforementioned office of the Trustee in time for the Trustee to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date will be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained at the aforementioned office of the Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a holder of U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the Specified Currency specified above is other than United States dollars, the equivalent thereof in the Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having identical or different terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by such holder.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and any payment is to be made in the Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions hereof, such day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the principal financial center of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is Euro, such day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open); provided, further, that, with respect to Notes for which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, such day is also a London Business Day (as defined below). "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in the currency (including composite currencies) specified in this Note as the Designated LIBOR Currency for which LIBOR is calculated are transacted in the London interbank market. It being understood that if no such currency or composite currency is specified in this Note, the Designated LIBOR Currency shall be U.S. dollars.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of the country which issued the Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of such debts). If the Specified Currency is other than United States
dollars, any such amounts so payable by the Company will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified above into United States dollars for payment to the holder of this Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the holder of this Note may elect to receive such amounts in the Specified Currency pursuant to the provisions set forth below.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency, any United States dollar amount to be received by the holder of this Note will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for United States dollars for settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all holders of Notes scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the Trustee at its corporate trust office (or at the office of the New York presenting agent) in The City of New York on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. The holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars or a composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if the Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise specified on the face hereof. The "Market Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as certified for customs purposes by (or if not so certified, as otherwise determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under such circumstances in United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if such composite currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars. The amount of each payment in United States dollars shall be computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars. The component currencies of the composite currency for this purpose (collectively, the "Component Currencies" and each, a "Component Currency") shall be the currency amounts that were components of the composite currency as of the last day on which the composite currency was used. The equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars shall be calculated by aggregating the United States dollar equivalents of the Component Currencies. The United States dollar equivalent of each of the Component Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency, or as otherwise specified on the face hereof.
If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is divided into two or more currencies, the amount of the original Component Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original Component Currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof and, if so specified above, in the Addendum hereto, which further provisions shall have the same force and effect as if set forth on the face hereof.
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Developers Diversified Realty Corporation has caused this Note to be executed.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Form of Fixed Rate Subordinated Security)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Subordinated Debt Securities (the "Debt Securities") of the Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1994, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the "Indenture"), between the Company and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK (formerly known as Chemical Bank), as Trustee (the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of Debt Securities designated as "Medium-Term Notes Due Nine Months or More from Date of Issue" (the "Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples thereof or the minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.
This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated Maturity Date.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (each, a "Redemption Date"), on notice given no more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. The Initial Redemption Percentage, if any, shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof until the Redemption Price is 100% of unpaid principal amount to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the holder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at a repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount to be repaid,
together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment (each, a "Repayment Date"). For this Note to be repaid, this Note must be received, together with the form hereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, by the Trustee at its corporate trust office not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If this Note is an Original Issue Discount Note as specified on the
face hereof, the amount payable to the holder of this Note in the event of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity will be equal to the sum of
(i) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of
the Discount, as defined below) and, in the event redemption of this Note (if
applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the
Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (ii) any unpaid
interest accrued thereon, from the Original Issue Date to the date of
redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity. The difference between the
Issue Price and 100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to herein
as the "Discount", and the Discount will be ratably accrued over the term of
this Note for purposes of determining the amount payable upon redemption,
repayment or acceleration of maturity of this Note.
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and Events of Default with respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, on behalf of the holders of all such Debt Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the holders of Debt Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange heretofore or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The Debt Securities evidenced by this Note are, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, expressly subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, agrees to and
shall be bound by such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate such subordination as provided in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the same terms and conditions, as requested by the holder hereof surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions described herein, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined on the reverse hereof) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for ("Defaulted Interest") will forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on any Record Date, and shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee hereinafter referred to, notice whereof shall be given to the holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which this note may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.
Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable repayment of this Note, a duly completed election form as contemplated on the reverse hereof) at the corporate trust office of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, currently located at 450 West 33rd Street, New York, New York 10001, or at such other paying agency in
The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Company may determine; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such payment is to be made in a Specified Currency other than United States dollars as set forth below, such payment will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account with a bank designated by the holder hereof at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor and that this Note (and, if applicable, a duly completed election form) is presented and surrendered at the aforementioned office of the Trustee in time for the Trustee to make such payment in such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date will be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained at the aforementioned office of the Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a holder of U.S.$10,000,000 (or, if the Specified Currency specified above is other than United States dollars, the equivalent thereof in the Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having identical or different terms and provisions) will be entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by such holder.
If any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after the Maturity Date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
The Company is obligated to make payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is not at the time of such payment legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, in such other coin or currency of the country which issued the Specified Currency as at the time of such payment is legal tender for the payment of such debts). If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, any such amounts so payable by the Company will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent specified above into United States dollars for payment to the holder of this Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the holder of this Note may elect to receive such amounts in the Specified Currency pursuant to the provisions set forth below.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and the holder of this Note shall not have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency, any United States dollar amount to be received by the holder of this Note will be based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers (one of whom may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Company for the purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for United States dollars for
settlement on such payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all holders of Notes scheduled to receive United States dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the holder of this Note by deductions from such payments. If three such bid quotations are not available, payments on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars, the holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency by submitting a written request for such payment to the Trustee at its corporate trust office in The City of New York on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Such written request may be mailed or hand delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission. The holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of all future payments in the Specified Currency in respect of such principal, premium, if any, and/or interest and need not file a separate election for each payment. Such election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice to the Trustee, but written notice of any such revocation must be received by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
If the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars or a composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if the Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as defined below) on the second Business Day prior to such payment date or, if such Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate or as otherwise specified on the face hereof. The "Market Exchange Rate" for the Specified Currency means the noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the Specified Currency as certified for customs purposes by (or if not so certified, as otherwise determined by) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Any payment made under such circumstances in United States dollars will not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture).
If the Specified Currency is a composite currency and the holder of this Note shall have duly made an election to receive all or a specified portion of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest in respect of this Note in the Specified Currency and if such composite currency is unavailable due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to the holder of this Note by making such payment in United States dollars. The amount of each payment in United States dollars shall be computed by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars. The component currencies of the composite currency for this purpose (collectively, the "Component Currencies" and each, a "Component Currency") shall be the currency amounts that were components of the composite currency as of the last day on which the composite currency was used. The equivalent of the composite currency in United States dollars shall be calculated by aggregating the United States dollar equivalents of the Component Currencies. The United States dollar equivalent of each of the Component Currencies shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent on the basis of the
most recently available Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency, or as otherwise specified on the face hereof.
If the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the number of units of the currency as a Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the amounts of those currencies as Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the amounts of the consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency. If any Component Currency is divided into two or more currencies, the amount of the original Component Currency shall be replaced by the amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which shall be equal to the amount of the original Component Currency.
All determinations referred to above made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the holder of this Note.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof and, if so specified above, in the Addendum hereto, which further provisions shall have the same force and effect as if set forth on the face hereof.
Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained herein, if the face of this Note specifies that an Addendum is attached hereto or that "Other/Additional Provisions" apply, this Note shall be subject to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such "Other/Additional Provisions".
Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE
(Form of Fixed Rate Subordinated Security)
This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Subordinated Debt Securities (the "Debt Securities") of the Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1994, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the "Indenture"), between the Company and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, as Trustee (the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series of Debt Securities designated as "Medium-Term Notes Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue" (the "Notes"). All terms used but not defined in this Note specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.
This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples thereof or the minimum Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.
This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and, unless otherwise provided on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated Maturity Date.
This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date on and after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (each, a "Redemption Date"), on notice given no more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date and in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The "Redemption Price" shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof multiplied by the unpaid principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. The Initial Redemption Percentage, if any, shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof until the Redemption Price is 100% of unpaid principal amount to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
This Note will be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the holder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 or the minimum Authorized Denomination (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 or such minimum Authorized Denomination), at a repayment price equal to 100% of the unpaid principal amount to be repaid,
together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment (each, a "Repayment Date"). For this Note to be repaid, this Note must be received, together with the form hereon entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" duly completed, by the Trustee at its corporate trust office not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date. Exercise of such repayment option by the holder hereof will be irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms as this Note shall be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.
If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as an Original Issue Discount Note, the amount payable to the holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity of this Note will be equal to the sum of (1) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of Discount, as defined below) and, in the event of any redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage specified in this Note (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (2) any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note from the Original Issue Date to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. As used herein, the "Discount" shall mean the difference between the Issue Price of an Original Issue Discount Note and par.
For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this Note, such Discount will be accrued using a constant yield method. The constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the initial interest rate applicable to this Note and an assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the "Initial Period") is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.
The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:
(i) Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note" or an "Inverse Floating Rate Note", this Note shall be designated as a "Regular Floating Rate Note" and, except as set forth below or on the face hereof, shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
(ii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note", then, except as set forth below or on the face hereof, this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the face hereof to the Maturity Date shall be the Fixed Interest Rate specified on the face hereof or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.
(iii) If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as an "Inverse Floating Rate Note", then, except as set forth below or on the face hereof, this Note shall bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the interest rate hereon shall not be less than zero. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.
Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the rate with respect to each Interest Rate Basis will be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below. Except as set forth above or on the face hereof, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as hereinafter defined) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
As used herein, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Specified Currency is other than United States dollars and any payment is to be made in the Specified Currency in accordance with the provisions hereof, such day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the principal financial center of the country issuing the Specified Currency (or, if the Specified Currency is Euro, such day is also a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open); PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, with
respect to Notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, such day is also a London Business Day (as defined below). "London Business Day" means any day on which dealings in the currency (including composite currencies) specified in this Note as the Designated LIBOR Currency for which LIBOR is calculated are transacted in the London interbank market. It being understood that if no such currency or composite currency is specified in this Note, the Designated LIBOR Currency shall be U.S. dollars.
The "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the CD Rate, the CMT Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate will be the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be the last working day of the month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "FHLB of San Francisco") publishes the Index (as defined below); and the "Interest Determination Date" with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Designated LIBOR Currency is British pounds sterling, in which case the "Interest Determination Date" will be the applicable Interest Reset Date. The "Interest Determination Date" with respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the day in the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (Treasury Bills are normally sold at an auction held on Monday of each week, unless such Monday is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the immediately succeeding Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the "Interest Determination Date" shall be such preceding Friday; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that if the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified on the face hereof, the "Interest Determination Date" pertaining to this Note shall be the most recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest Reset Date.
CD RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the CD Rate, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (a "CD Rate Interest Determination Date") as the
rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as published by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519),
Selected Interest Rates" or any successor publication ("H.15(519)") under the
heading "CDs (Secondary Market)", or, if not published in H.15(519) by 9:00
a.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, the CD Rate will be the rate
on such CD Interest Determination Date set forth in the daily update of
H.15(519), available through the world wide website of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or
any successor site or publication ("H.15 Daily Update"), for the day in respect
of certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified in this Note
under the caption "CDs (Secondary Market)". If such rate is not yet published in
either H.15(519) or the H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the CD Rate to be the
arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on
such CD Interest Determination Date, of three leading nonbank dealers in negotiable U.S. dollar certificates of deposit in New York City (which may include the Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks for negotiable certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified in this Note in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time. If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, the CD Rate will remain the CD Rate then in effect on such CD Interest Determination Date.
CMT RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the CMT rate, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a "CMT Rate Interest Determination
Date") as the rate displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page (as defined
below) under the caption "...Treasury Constant Maturities...Federal Reserve
Board Release H.15...Mondays Approximately 3:45 p.m.", under the column for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index (as defined below) for (i) if the Designated CMT
Telerate Page is 7055, the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date and
(ii) if the Designated CMT Telerate Page is 7052, the week, or the month, as
applicable, ended immediately preceding the week in which the related CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date occurs. If such rate is no longer displayed on the
relevant page or is not displayed by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate for such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be such treasury constant maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index as published in the relevant H.15(519). If such
rate is no longer published or is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date will be such Treasury Constant Maturity rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index (or other United States Treasury rate for the
Designated CMT Maturity Index) for the CMT Rate Interest Determination Date with
respect to such Interest Reset Date as may then be published by either the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the United States Department of
the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate
formerly displayed on the Designated CMT Telerate Page and published in the
relevant H.15(519). If such information is not provided by 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CMT Rate on the CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will
be a yield to maturity, based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market
closing offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on
such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date reported, according to their written
records, by three leading primary United States government securities dealers
(each, a "Reference Dealer") in The City of New York selected by the Calculation
Agent (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and
eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one
of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for the most recently issued direct noncallable fixed rate obligations of the United States ("Treasury Notes") with an original maturity of approximately the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity of not less than such Designated CMT Maturity Index minus one year. If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain three such Treasury notes quotations, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offer side prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers in The City of New York (from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest)), for Treasury Notes with an original maturity of the number of years that is the next highest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and a remaining term to maturity closest to the Designated CMT Maturity Index and in an amount of at least U.S.$100 million. If three or four (and not five) of such Reference Dealers are quoting as described above, then the CMT Rate will be based on the arithmetic mean of the offer prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotes will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned herein, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Interest Rate Determination Date. If two Treasury Notes with an original maturity as described in the second preceding sentence have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Designated CMT Maturity Index, the quotes for the Treasury Note with the shorter remaining term to maturity will be used.
"Designated CMT Maturity Index" means the original period to maturity of the United States Treasury securities (either 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 or 30 years) specified on the face hereof with respect to which the CMT Rate will be calculated. If no such maturity is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Maturity Index shall be 2 years.
"Designated CMT Telerate Page" means the display on the Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on the page specified on the face hereof (or any other page as may replace such page on that service (or any successor service) for the purpose of displaying Treasury Constant Maturities as reported in H.15(519). If no such page is specified on the face hereof, the Designated CMT Telerate Page shall be 7052.
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date") as the Money Market Yield (as defined below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper--Nonfinancial". In the event that such rate is not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Money Market Yield of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source under the heading "Commercial Paper--Nonfinancial". If such rate is not yet published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper having the Index Maturity placed for a non-financial issuer whose bond rating is "Aa", or the equivalent from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.
"Money Market Yield" means a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:
where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period.
EURIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as EURIBOR, EURIBOR shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "EURIBOR Interest Determination Date") as the EURIBOR rate for deposits in euros as sponsored, calculated and published jointly by the European Banking Federation and ACI - The Financial Market Association, or any company established by the joint sponsors for purposes of compiling and publishing those rates, for the index maturity specified in this Note as that rate appears on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc., or any successor service, on page 248 or any other page as may replace page 248 on that service, which is commonly referred to as "Telerate Page 248," as of 11:00 a.m. (Brussels time). If the above rate does not appear, the Calculation Agent will request the principal Euro-zone office of each of four major banks in the Euro-zone interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered rate for deposits in euros, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the Euro-zone interbank market for the index maturity specified in this Note commencing on the Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S. $1 million in euro that is representative of a single transaction in euro, in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, EURIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, EURIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in the Euro-zone, as defined below, as selected by the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Company, at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Brussels time), on the applicable Interest Reset Date for loans in euro to leading European banks for a period of time equivalent to the index maturity specified in this Note commencing on that Interest Reset Date in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of U.S. $1 million in euro. If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, the EURIBOR rate in effect for the period will be the same as EURIBOR for the immediately preceding interest reset period, or, if there was not interest reset period, the rate of interest will be the initial interest rate. "Euro-zone" means the region comprised of member states of the European Union that adopt the single currency in accordance with the treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the treaty on European Union.
ELEVENTH DISTRICT COST OF FUNDS RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for
this Note is specified on the face hereof as the Eleventh District Cost of Funds
Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (an "Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date") as the rate equal to the monthly weighted average
cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which
such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls, as
set forth under the caption "11th District" on the display of Bridge Telerate,
Inc. (or any successor services) on Page 7058 ("Telerate Page 7058") as of 11:00
a.m., San Francisco time, on such
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 7058 on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, then the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the monthly weighted average cost of funds paid by member institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that was most recently announced (the "Index") by the FHLB of San Francisco as such cost of funds for the calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If the FHLB of San Francisco fails to announce the Index on or prior to such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date for the calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate determined as of such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate in effect on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is
specified on the face hereof as the Federal Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate
shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Federal
Funds Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date for United
States dollar federal funds as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Federal
Funds (Effective)" as displayed on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor
service) on page 120 or any other page as may replace the applicable page on
that service ("Telerate Page 120") or, if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the Calculation Date, the rate on such Federal Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date for United States dollar federal funds as published in H.15
Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
displaying such rate, under the heading "Federal Funds/(Effective)." If such
rate does not appear on Telerate Page 120 or is not published in either
H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00
p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Federal
Funds Rate on such Federal Funds Interest Determination Date shall be calculated
by the Calculation Agent and will be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the
last transaction in overnight United States dollar federal funds arranged by
three leading brokers of United States dollar federal funds transactions in The
City of New York (which may include the Agents or their affiliates) selected by
the Calculation Agent, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Federal
Funds Rate Interest Determination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the brokers
so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this
sentence, the Federal Funds Rate determined as of such Federal Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date will be the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such
Federal Funds Rate Interest Determination Date.
LIBOR. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as LIBOR, LIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "LIBOR Interest Determination Date") in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) if (a) "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates (unless the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) by its terms provides only for a single rate, in which case such single rate will be used) for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, that appear (or, if only a single rate is required as aforesaid, appears) on the Designated LIBOR Page (as defined below) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date, or (b) "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof, or if neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor
"LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof as the method for calculating LIBOR, the rate for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity, commencing on such Interest Reset Date, that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date. If fewer than two such offered rates appear, or if no such rate appears, as applicable, LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date shall be determined in accordance with the provisions described in clause (ii) below.
(ii) With respect to a LIBOR Interest Determination Date on which fewer than two offered rates appear, or no rate appears, as the case may be, on the Designated LIBOR Page as specified in clause (i) above, the Calculation Agent shall request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency for the period of the Index Maturity, commencing on the applicable Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, then LIBOR on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the applicable Principal Financial Center, for the country of the Designated LIBOR Currency on such LIBOR Interest Determination Date by three major banks in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in the Designated LIBOR Currency to leading European banks, having the Index Maturity and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR in effect for the applicable period will be the same as LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period (or, if there was no such Interest Reset Period, the rate of interest payable on the LIBOR Notes for which such LIBOR is being determined shall be the Initial Interest Rate).
"Designated LIBOR Currency" means the currency specified on the face hereof as to which LIBOR shall be calculated, or if the Euro is substituted for that currency, the Designated LIBOR Currency, will be the Euro. If no such currency or composite currency is specified on the face hereof, the Designated LIBOR Currency shall be United States dollars.
"Designated LIBOR Page" means (a) if "LIBOR Reuters" is specified on the face hereof, the display on the Reuter Monitor Money Rates Service (or any successor service) (or any other page as may replace such page on such service (or any successor service)) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the Designated LIBOR Currency, or (b) if "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof or neither "LIBOR Reuters" nor "LIBOR Telerate" is specified on the face hereof as the method for calculating LIBOR, the display on the Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the Designated LIBOR Currency.
PRIME RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereto as the Prime Rate, the Prime Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Prime Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate on such date as such rate is published in
H.15(519) under the heading "Bank Prime Loan". If such rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate shall be the rate on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "Bank Prime Loan." If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update, or another recognized electronic source, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page as such bank's prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date. If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters Screen US PRIME 1 Page for such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date, the Prime Rate shall be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by a 360-day year as of the close of business on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date by three major banks which may include affiliates of the Agents in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent. If the banks selected are not quoting as mentioned above, the Prime Rate determined as of such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Prime Rate in effect on such Prime Rate Interest Determination Date.
TREASURY RATE. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a "Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date") as the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date (the "Auction") of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity, as such rate appears on the display on Bridge Telerate, Inc. (or any such successor service) on page 56 (or any other page as may replace page 56) on that service ("Telerate Page 56") or on page 57 (or any other page as may replace page 57) on that service ("Telerate Page 57"), or, if not published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield for the rate for such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Auction High" or, if not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond Equivalent Yield of the auction rate of such Treasury Bills as announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of the Auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity are not reported as provided above by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if no such Auction is held, then the Treasury Rate shall be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of Treasury bills having the Index Maturity specified in this Note as published in H.15(519) under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market" or, if not yet published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of such Treasury Bills as published in H.15 Daily Update, or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption "U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Bills/Secondary Market." If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source, then the Treasury Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on the Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date of three primary United States government securities dealers (which may include the Agents or their affiliates) selected by the Calculation
Agent, for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index maturity. If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting, the Treasury Rate determined as of that Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Treasury Rate in effect on the Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof. The interest rate on this Note will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.
The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon on or before each Calculation Date. The "Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination Date shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. At the request of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the Holder hereof the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next succeeding Interest Reset Date.
Accrued interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the applicable Interest Period. Unless otherwise specified as the Day Count Convention on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the CD Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis or by the actual number of days in the year if the CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. Unless otherwise specified as the Day Count Convention on the face hereof, the interest factor for this Note, if the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases, shall be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the Applicable Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof applied.
All percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note shall be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, and all amounts used in or resulting from such calculation on this Note shall be rounded, in the case of United States dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a Specified Currency other than United States dollars, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Notes or (ii) certain covenants and Events of Default with respect to the Notes, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to the Notes.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the Debt Securities at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Debt Securities at the time outstanding and affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, on behalf of the holders of all such Debt Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, in certain instances, to waive, on behalf of all of the holders of Debt Securities of such series, certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this Note and other Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
The Debt Securities evidenced by this Note are, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, expressly subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. Each Holder of this Note, by accepting the same, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate such subordination as provided in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal hereof and any premium or interest hereon are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein and herein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations but otherwise having the same terms and conditions, as requested by the holder hereof surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the holder in whose name this Note is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(1) the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested (which stated amount shall not be less than $50,000);
(2) the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit (the "ISSUANCE DATE");
(3) the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day and shall in no event be later than the earlier of twelve months after the Issuance Date and the Facility Termination Date):

(5) the full name and the address of the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued; and
(6) any special language required to be included in the Facility Letter of Credit.
At the time such request is made, the Borrower shall also provide the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with a copy of the form of the Facility Letter of Credit that the Borrower is requesting be issued, which shall be subject to the approval of the Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the last Business Day on which notice can be given under this SECTION 2A.4(a). Administrative Agent shall promptly give a copy of the Letter of Credit Request to the other Lenders.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE IIA and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in SECTION 4.2 hereof have been satisfied, such Issuing Bank shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Letter of Credit Request and the Issuing Bank's usual and customary business practices unless the Issuing Bank has actually received (i) written notice from the Borrower specifically revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit, (ii) written
notice from a Lender, which complies with the provisions of SECTION 2A.6(a), or
(iii) written or telephonic notice from the Administrative Agent stating that
the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would violate SECTION 2A.2.

(d) The Issuing Bank shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this SECTION 2A.4 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.
2A.5. REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS; DUTIES OF ISSUING BANK.
(a) The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any draw under a Facility Letter of Credit, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders that such draw has
occurred. Any such draw shall constitute an Advance in the amount of the
Reimbursement Obligation with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit and
shall bear interest from the date of the relevant drawing(s) under the pertinent
Facility Letter of Credit at a rate selected by Borrower in accordance with
SECTION 2.9 hereof; provided that if a Default or an Unmatured Default exists at
the time of any such drawing(s), then the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing
Bank for drawings under a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank
no later than the next succeeding Business Day after the payment by the Issuing
Bank and until repaid such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from the
date funded at the Default Rate.
(b) Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, shall not put the Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender or, provided that such Issuing Bank has complied with the procedures specified in SECTION 2A.4 and such Lender has not given a notice contemplated by SECTION 2A.6(a) that continues in full force and effect, relieve a Lender of its obligations hereunder to the Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Facility Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance, and that they appear to comply on their face, with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.
2A.6. PARTICIPATION.
(a) Immediately upon issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in SECTION 2A.4, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender's Percentage in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto; PROVIDED that a Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to be a Facility Letter of Credit for purposes of this SECTION 2A.6 if the Issuing Bank shall have received written notice from any Lender on or before the Business Day prior to the date of its issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions contained in SECTION 4.2 is not then satisfied, and in the
event the Issuing Bank receives such a notice it shall have no further obligation to issue any Facility Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn by that Lender or the Issuing Bank receives a notice from the Administrative Agent that such condition has been effectively waived in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Each Lender's obligation to make further Loans to the Borrower (other than any payments such Lender is required to make under subparagraph (b) below) or issue any letters of credit on behalf of Borrower shall be reduced by such Lender's pro rata share of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding.
(b) In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuing Bank pursuant to SECTION 2A.7 hereof, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender's Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such payment, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount to the Issuing Bank. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made. Any Lender which fails to make any payment required pursuant to this SECTION 2A.6(b) shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender hereunder.
(c) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage thereof.
(d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, an Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Administrative Agent or such Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which that Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
(e) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever other than a failure of any such Issuing Bank to comply with the terms of this Agreement relating to the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.
2A.7. PAYMENT OF REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit when due in accordance with SECTION 2A.5(A) above, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any
Issuing Bank or any other Person, under all circumstances, including without limitation any of the following circumstances:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any Facility Letter of Credit);
(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect of any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or
(v) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default.
(b) In the event any payment by the Borrower received by the Issuing Bank with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Issuing Bank in connection with any receivership, liquidation; reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Issuing Bank, contribute such Lender's Percentage of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Issuing Bank upon the amount required to be repaid by the Issuing Bank.
2A.8. COMPENSATION FOR FACILITY LETTERS OF CREDIT.
(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, based upon the Lenders' respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the "FACILITY LETTER OF CREDIT FEE") with respect to each Facility Letter of Credit that is equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin. The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall be due and payable in arrears in equal installments on each Payment Date and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof.
(b) The Issuing Bank also shall have the right to receive solely for its own account an issuance fee of 0.125% of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit, payable by the Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and the Issuing Bank's standard charges of
issuing, amending and servicing Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder. The Borrower shall pay such issuance fee and other amounts when due to the Issuing Bank.
2A.9. LETTER OF CREDIT COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will, until the Facility Termination Date, maintain a special collateral account (the "LETTER OF CREDIT COLLATERAL ACCOUNT") at the Administrative Agent's office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in SECTION 8.1. Such Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be funded to the extent required by SECTION 8.1. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a properly perfected security interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, any funds that may hereafter be on deposit in such account and the proceeds thereof.
11. SECTION 3.1(I) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the phrase ", Facility Letters of Credit" after the word "Loans" in the second to the last line thereof.
12. SECTION 3.1 (III) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the phrase ", Letters of Credit issued or participated in" after the phrase "loans held" in the third to the last line thereof.
13. SECTION 3.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the phrase ", its interest in the Facility Letters of Credit" after the phrase "its Loans" in the seventh line thereof and the phrase "or participate in or issue Facility Letters of Credit" after the phrase "Loans hereunder" in the eighth line thereof.
14. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new
SECTION 6.23:
6.23. INVESTMENTS IN AIP AND INVESTMENT AFFILIATES. The Consolidated Group's Investment in AIP, as determined in accordance with GAAP, PLUS the Consolidated Group's Investment in Investment Affiliates, as determined in accordance with GAAP, shall not at any time exceed thirty percent (30%) of Consolidated Market Value.
15. SECTION 7.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by restating such section as follows:
The breach of any terms or provisions of SECTION 6.2, 6.10 through 6.21 and 6.23.
16. SECTION 8.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by restating such section as follows:
If any Default described in SECTION 7.7 or 7.8 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Bank to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and to issue Facility Letters of Credit, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable,
or both, whereupon (i) the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives and (ii) the Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Lenders (or if no such direction is given within 30 days after a request for direction, as the Administrative Agent deems in the best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion), shall use its good faith efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by the Borrower and any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Loan Documents.
In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Default and so long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been canceled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Facility Letters of Credit and all fees and other amounts due or which may become due with respect thereto. The Borrower shall have no control over funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, which funds will be invested by the Administrative Agent from time to time at its discretion in certificates of deposit of First Chicago having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Such funds shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any Issuing Bank for drafts drawn from time to time under the Facility Levers of Credit. Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the payment of all Obligations in full shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to the Borrower.
If after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder or to issue Facility Letters of Credit as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in SECTION 7.7 or 7.8 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.
17. Except as specifically modified hereby, the Credit Agreement is and remains unmodified and in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed. Borrower hereby remakes as of the date hereof, each of its respective representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement.
18. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of Illinois, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks. This Amendment shall be effective when it has been executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender and each party has notified the Administrative Agent by telecopy or telephone that it has taken such action.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have executed this Amendment as of the date first above written.

Dear Sirs:
1. INTRODUCTORY. Developers Diversified Realty Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), confirms its agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Banc of America Securities LLC, Banc One Capital Markets, Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman
Brothers Inc., Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Warburg Dillon Read LLC (each, an "Agent," and collectively, the "Agents") with respect to the issue and sale by the Company of its debt securities denominated "Medium-Term Notes Due 9 Months or More from Date of Issue" (the "Notes"). The Notes will be either Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes") or Subordinated Notes (the "Subordinated Notes"). The Senior Notes will be issued under an indenture dated as of May 1, 1994, as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time (the "Senior Indenture"), between the Company and National City Bank, as trustee (the "Senior Trustee"), and the Subordinated Notes will be issued under an indenture dated as of May 1, 1994, as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time (the "Subordinated Indenture"), between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank (formerly Chemical Bank), as trustee (the "Subordinated Trustee"). The term "Trustee" as used herein shall refer to either the Senior Trustee or the Subordinated Trustee, as appropriate, for Senior Notes or Subordinated Notes. The Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture, each as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, are each sometimes referred to as the "Indenture." Each series of Senior Notes or Subordinated Notes may vary, as applicable, as to aggregate principal amount, maturity date, interest rate or formula and timing of payments thereof, redemption and/or repayment provisions, and any other variable terms which the Senior Indenture or the Subordinated Indenture, as the case may be, contemplates may be set forth in the Senior Notes and the Subordinated Notes as issued from time to time. The Senior Notes or the Subordinated Notes may be offered either together or separately. As used herein, "Notes" shall mean the Senior Notes or the Subordinated Notes or any combination thereof.
As of the date hereof, the Company has authorized the issuance and sale of up to U.S. $400,000,000 aggregate initial offering price (or its equivalent, based upon the applicable exchange rate at the time of issuance, in such foreign or composite currencies as the Company shall designate at the time of issuance) of Notes to or through the Agents pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. It is understood, however, that the Company may from time to time authorize the issuance of additional Notes and that such additional Notes may be sold to or through the Agents pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all as though the issuance of such Notes were authorized as of the date hereof. This Agreement provides both for the sale of Notes by the Company to one or more Agents as principal for resale to investors and other purchasers and for the sale of Notes by the Company directly to investors (as may from time to time be agreed to by the Company and the applicable Agent), in which case such Agent will act as an agent of the Company in soliciting purchases of the Notes.
As used herein, "you" and "your," unless the context otherwise requires, shall mean the parties to whom this Agreement is addressed together with the other parties, if any, identified in the Prospectus (as hereinafter defined) as additional Agents with respect to the Notes.
2. APPOINTMENT AS AGENT. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and subject to the reservation by the Company of the right to sell Notes directly on its own behalf, the Company hereby agrees that Notes will be sold exclusively to or through the Agents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may accept offers to purchase Notes through an agent other than the Agents if (i) the Company shall not have solicited such offers, (ii) the Company and such agent shall have entered into an agreement with substantially the same terms as this Agreement (including Schedule A) and (iii) the Company shall have notified the Agents promptly after the acceptance of any such offer and shall have
provided the Agents with a copy of such agreement in written form promptly following the execution thereof.
(b) The Company shall not sell or approve the solicitation of purchases of Notes in excess of the amount which shall be authorized by the Company from time to time or in excess of the aggregate initial offering price of Notes registered pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Agents shall have no responsibility for maintaining records with respect to the aggregate initial offering price of Notes sold, or of otherwise monitoring the availability of Notes for sale, under the Registration Statement.
(c) The Agents shall not have any obligation to purchase Notes from the Company as principal, but one or more Agents may agree from time to time to purchase Notes as principal for resale to investors and other purchasers determined by such Agent or Agents. Any such purchase of Notes by an Agent as principal shall be made in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof.
(d) If agreed upon by an Agent and the Company, such Agent, acting
solely as agent for the Company and not as principal, will solicit purchases of
the Notes. Such Agent will communicate to the Company, orally, each offer to
purchase Notes solicited by it on an agency basis, other than those offers
rejected by such Agent. Such Agent shall have the right, in its reasonable
discretion, to reject any proposed purchase of Notes, as a whole or in part,
and any such rejection shall not be deemed a breach of its agreement contained
herein. The Company may accept or reject any proposed purchase of Notes, in
whole or in part. Such Agent shall make reasonable efforts to assist the
Company in obtaining performance by each purchaser whose offer to purchase
Notes has been solicited by it and accepted by the Company. Such Agent shall
not have any liability to the Company in the event that any such purchase is
not consummated for any reason. If the Company shall default on its obligation
to deliver Notes to a purchaser whose offer it has accepted, the Company shall
(i) hold such Agent harmless against any loss, claim or damage arising from or
as a result of such default by the Company, and (ii) notwithstanding such
default, pay to such Agent any commission to which it would otherwise be
entitled.
(e) The Company and the Agents agree that any Notes purchased by one or more Agents as principal shall be purchased, and any Notes the placement of which an Agent arranges as agent shall be placed by such Agent, in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company contained herein and on the terms and conditions and in the manner provided herein.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. (a) The Company represents and warrants to you, as of the date hereof, as of the date of each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes (whether to one or more Agents as principal or through an Agent as agent), as of the date of each delivery of Notes (whether to one or more Agents as principal or through an Agent as agent) (the date of each such delivery to one or more Agents as principal being hereinafter referred to as a "Settlement Date"), and as of any time the Registration Statement (as defined below) or the Prospectus (as defined below) shall be amended or supplemented or there is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus (as defined below) (each of the times referenced above being referred to herein as a "Representation Date"), that:
(i) A registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-72519) for the registration of the Notes, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act Regulations"), has heretofore been delivered to you, has been prepared by the Company in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations and has been filed with the Commission under the 1933 Act. The registration statement (as amended, if applicable) has been declared effective by the Commission and each of the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "1939 Act"). Such registration statement (and any further registration statements which may be filed by the Company for the purpose of registering additional Notes and in connection with which this Agreement is included or incorporated by reference as an exhibit), on the one hand, and the prospectus constituting a part thereof and any prospectus supplement and pricing supplement relating to the offering of Notes, on the other hand, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, as from time to time amended or supplemented pursuant to the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") or otherwise, are referred to herein as the "Registration Statement" and the "Prospectus," respectively, except that if any revised prospectus shall be provided to the Agents by the Company for use in connection with the offering of Notes, whether or not such revised prospectus is required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, the term "Prospectus" shall refer to such prospectus from and after the time it is first provided to the Agents for such use. If the Company elects to rely on Rule 434 under the 1933 Act Regulations, all references to the Prospectus shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the form of prospectus and the term sheet, taken together, provided to the Agents by the Company in reliance on Rule 434 under the 1933 Act (the "Rule 434 Prospectus"). If the Company files a registration statement to register a portion of the Securities and relies on Rule 462(b) for such registration statement to become effective upon filing with the Commission (the "Rule 462 Registration Statement"), then any reference to "Registration Statement" herein shall be deemed to be to the registration statement referred to above (No. 333-72519) and the Rule 462 Registration Statement, as each such registration statement may be amended pursuant to the 1933 Act. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is "contained," "included" or "stated" in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include, without limitation, the filing of any document under the 1934 Act which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be.
(ii) At the time the Registration Statement became effective, and at each time thereafter at which an Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed by the Company with the Commission, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus conformed, and as of each applicable Representation Date will conform, in all material respects to the requirements

4. PURCHASES AS PRINCIPAL; SOLICITATIONS AS AGENT. (a) Unless otherwise agreed by an Agent and the Company, Notes shall be purchased by such Agent as principal. Such purchases shall be made in accordance with terms agreed upon by one or more Agents and the Company (which terms, unless otherwise agreed, shall, to the extent applicable, include those terms specified in Exhibit A hereto and be agreed upon orally, with written confirmation prepared by such Agent or Agents and mailed to the Company). An Agent's commitment to purchase Notes as principal shall be deemed to have been made on the basis of the representations and warranties of the Company herein contained and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to "this Agreement" shall include the agreement of one or more Agents to purchase Notes from the Company as principal. Each purchase of Notes, unless otherwise agreed, shall be at a discount from the principal amount of each such Note equivalent to the applicable commission set forth in Schedule A hereto. The Agents may engage the services of any other broker or dealer in connection with the resale of the Notes purchased by them as principal and may allow any portion of the discount received in
connection with such purchases from the Company to such brokers and dealers. At the time of each purchase of Notes by one or more Agents as principal, such Agent or Agents shall specify the requirements for the stand-off agreement, officers' certificate, comfort letter and opinions of counsel pursuant to Sections 5(k), 11(b), 11(c), and 11(d) hereof.
(b) On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, when agreed by the Company and an Agent, such Agent, as an agent of the Company, will use its reasonable efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Prospectus. The Agents are not authorized to appoint sub-agents with respect to Notes sold through them as agent. All Notes sold through an Agent as agent will be sold at 100% of their principal amount unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and such Agent.
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend solicitation of purchases of the Notes through an Agent, as agent, commencing at any time for any period of time or permanently. As soon as practicable after receipt of instructions from the Company, such Agent will suspend solicitation of purchases from the Company until such time as the Company has advised such Agent that such solicitation may be resumed.
The Company agrees to pay each Agent a commission, in the form of a discount, equal to the applicable percentage of the principal amount of each Senior Note sold by the Company as a result of a solicitation made by such Agent as set forth in Schedule A hereto. The schedule of commissions payable in connection with sales of Senior Notes will also apply to sales of Subordinated Notes unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the applicable Agent.
(c) The purchase price, interest rate or formula, maturity date and other terms of the Notes (as applicable) specified in Exhibit A hereto shall be agreed upon by the Company and the applicable Agent or Agents and specified in a pricing supplement to the Prospectus (each, a "Pricing Supplement") to be prepared in connection with each sale of Notes. Except as may be otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Notes will be issued in denominations of U.S. $1,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of U.S. $1,000. Administrative procedures with respect to the sale of Notes shall be agreed upon from time to time by the Company, the Agents and the Trustees (the "Procedures"). The Agents and the Company agree to perform, and the Company agrees to cause the Trustees to agree to perform, their respective duties and obligations specifically provided to be performed by them in the Procedures.
5. COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants with the Agents participating in the offering of Notes that:

or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional information, (v) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and (vi) any change in the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to any debt securities of the Company or the public announcement by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any debt securities of the Company.

(b) The Company will give the Agents advance notice of its intention to file or prepare any additional registration statement with respect to the registration of additional Notes, any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus (other than an amendment or supplement providing solely for a change in the interest rate or formula applicable to the Notes or a change relating solely to securities other than the Notes), whether by the filing of documents pursuant to the 1934 Act or the 1933 Act or otherwise, and will furnish to Brown & Wood LLP, counsel for the Agents copies of any such amendment or supplement or other documents proposed to be filed or used a reasonable time in advance of such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file any such amendment or supplement or other documents in a form to which the Agents or counsel for the Agents shall reasonably object.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (l) of this Section 5, if at any time during the term of this Agreement any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Agents or counsel for the Company, to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of either such counsel, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company shall give immediate notice, confirmed in writing, to the Agents to cease the solicitation of offers to purchase the Notes in an Agent's capacity as agent and to cease sales of any Notes an Agent may then own as
principal, and the Company will promptly amend the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, whether by filing documents pursuant to the 1934 Act or the 1933 Act or otherwise, as may be necessary to correct such untrue statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement and Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Agents a reasonable number of copies of such amendment or supplement.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (l) of this Section 5, on or prior to the date on which there shall be released to the general public interim financial statement information related to the Company with respect to each of the first three quarters of any fiscal year or preliminary financial statement information with respect to any fiscal year, the Company shall furnish such information to the Agents, confirmed in writing, and shall cause the Prospectus to be amended or supplemented to include or incorporate by reference financial information with respect thereto and corresponding information for the comparable period of the preceding fiscal year, as well as such other information and explanations as shall be necessary for an understanding thereof or as shall be required by the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (l) of this Section 5, on or prior to the date on which there shall be released to the general public financial information included in or derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the preceding fiscal year, the Company shall furnish such information to the Agents, confirmed in writing, and shall cause the Registration Statement and the Prospectus to be amended, whether by the filing of documents pursuant to the 1934 Act or the 1933 Act or otherwise, to include or incorporate by reference such audited financial statements and the report or reports, and consent or consents to such inclusion or incorporation by reference, of the independent accountants with respect thereto, as well as such other information and explanations as shall be necessary for an understanding of such financial statements or as shall be required by the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations.

(i) The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the Agents, to qualify the Notes for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws, if any such laws are applicable, and real estate syndication laws, if any such laws are applicable, of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as the Agents may designate, and will maintain such qualifications in effect for as long as may be required for the distribution of the Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified. The Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Notes have been qualified as above provided. The Company will promptly advise the Agents of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Notes for sale in any such state or jurisdiction or the initiating or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

7. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each person, if any, who controls any Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent through you expressly for use therein.
(b) Each Agent agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Agent, but only with reference to information relating to such Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b), such person (the "indemnified party")
shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
"indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of
the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the
named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of
both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the
indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any
indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in
the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one
separate firm (in addition to one firm serving as local counsel) for all such
indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley &
Co. Incorporated, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7(a),
and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section
7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding
effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or 7(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Agents on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Notes shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total commissions received by the Agents. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand 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 or by the Agents and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Agents' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective number of Notes they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e) The Company and the Agents agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, 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 Section 7, no Agents shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes purchased by it or through it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Agent 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this
Section 7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the
Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any person controlling any
Agent or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any
person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of
the Notes.
8. SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, ETC. The respective indemnities, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Agents, as set forth in this Agreement or certificates of officers of the Company submitted pursuant hereto or thereto, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or the Company or any of their officers or directors or any controlling person, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Notes.
9. CONDITIONS OF AGENTS' OBLIGATIONS. The respective obligations of the Agents to purchase Notes as agent of the Company, and the obligations of any purchasers of the Notes sold through an Agent as agent, are subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties made herein by the Company, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company's officers or directors in any certificate furnished in connection therewith pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance and observance by the Company of all of its covenants and agreements herein contained and other provisions hereof to be satisfied in connection therewith, and to the following additional conditions:
(a) On the date hereof, you shall have received from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP a letter, dated as of the date hereof and in form and substance satisfactory to you, to the effect that:
(i) they are independent accountants with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations; (ii) it is their opinion that the consolidated financial statements and supporting schedules of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and covered by their opinions therein comply in form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, and the related published rules and regulations; (iii) it is their opinion that the financial statements of the properties acquired or proposed to be acquired by the Company included in the
Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K (the "Forms 8-K") dated February 25, 1998 and filed on April 7, 1998, as amended on April 23, 1998, and dated April 28, 1998 and filed on June 24, 1998, each of which is incorporated by reference in the Company's Registration Statement and covered by their opinions therein comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to real estate operations acquired or to be acquired; (iv) they have performed limited procedures, not constituting an audit, including a reading of the latest available unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, a reading of the minute books of the Company and its subsidiaries, inquiries of certain officials of the Company and its subsidiaries who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters and such other inquiries and procedures as may be specified in such letter, and on the basis of such limited review and procedures nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that (A) the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules, if any, of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the 1934 Act and the related published rules and regulations thereunder or that any material modification should be made to the unaudited condensed interim financial statements included in or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, (B) the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements included in the Company's aforementioned Forms 8-K, and the Company's Forms 8-K dated September 10, 1998 and filed on December 8, 1998, and dated April 23, 1999 and filed on August 20, 1999, do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X under the 1933 Act or that the pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of such statements, (C) the information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the applicable Prospectus under the caption "Selected Consolidated Financial Data" did not conform in all material respects with the disclosure requirements of item 301 of Regulation S-K, or (D) at a specified date not more than three days prior to the date of such letter, there has been any change in the capital stock of the Company or in the consolidated long term debt of the Company or any decrease in the net assets of the Company, as compared with the amounts shown in the most recent consolidated balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or, during the period from the date of the most recent consolidated statement of operations of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus to a specified date not more than three days prior to the date of such letter, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated revenues, or decrease in consolidated net income or consolidated net income per share of the Company, except in all instances for changes, increases or decreases which the Registration Statement and the Prospectus disclose have occurred or may occur;
and (v) in addition to the audit referred to in their
opinions and the limited procedures referred to in clause
(iv) above, they have carried out certain specified
procedures, not constituting an audit, with respect to
certain amounts, percentages and financial information which
are included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus and which are specified by you,
and have found such amounts, percentages and financial
information to be in agreement with the relevant accounting,
financial and other records of the Company and its
subsidiaries identified in such letter.
(b) On the date hereof, you shall have received from Baker & Hostetler LLP, counsel for the Company, an opinion, dated as of the date hereof, to the effect that:
(i) The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio.
(ii) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus.
(iii) The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns real property except where the failure to qualify and be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(iv) If the Company has one or more significant subsidiaries, as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act (each a "Significant Subsidiary"), each Significant Subsidiary has been duly incorporated or formed and is validly existing as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company in good standing or in full force and effect under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns real property, except where the failure to so qualify and be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(v) The Notes have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when the terms of the Notes and of their issue and sale have been duly established in accordance with the applicable Indentures and this Agreement so as not to violate any applicable law or agreement or instrument then binding on the Company, and when the Notes have been executed, authenticated and delivered by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and the Indentures against payment of the consideration therefor, the Notes will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits provided by the Indentures and enforceable in accordance with their terms.
(vi) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
(vii) Each Indenture has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee and the validity, legality, binding effect on and enforceability against the Trustee) constitutes the valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms; provided that no opinion is rendered in this paragraph herein with respect to the enforceability of the choice of law provisions in the Indentures.
(viii) Each Indenture has been duly qualified under the 1939 Act.
(ix) The Registration Statement is effective under the 1933 Act and, to the best of their knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act or proceedings therefor initiated or threatened by the Commission.
(x) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements, related schedules and other financial and statistical data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as to which no opinion need be rendered) as of their respective effective or issue dates, comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements for registration statements on Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations. If applicable, the Rule 434 Prospectus conforms to the requirements of Rule 434 of the 1933 Act Regulations in all material respects.
(xi) Each document filed pursuant to the 1934 Act (other than the financial statements, related schedules and other financial and statistical data included therein, as to which no opinion need be rendered) and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus complied when so filed as to form in all material respects with the 1934 Act and the 1934 Act Regulations.
(xii) Nothing has come to such counsel's attention that would lead it to believe that the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (other than the financial statements, related schedules and other financial and statistical information included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief), at the time it became effective or at the time an Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed by the Company with the Commission (whichever is later), or at the date hereof (or, if such opinion is being delivered in connection with the purchase of Notes by one or more Agents as principal pursuant to Section 11(c) hereof, at the date of any agreement by such Agent or Agents to purchase Notes as principal), contained or contains an untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (other than the financial statements, related schedules and other financial and statistical data therein, as to which such counsel need express no belief), at the date hereof (or, if such opinion is being delivered in connection with the purchase of Notes by one or more Agents as principal pursuant to Section 11(c) hereof, at the date of any agreement by such Agent or Agents to purchase Notes as principal and at the Settlement Date with respect thereto, as the case may be), included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(xiii) To their knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or threatened which are required to be disclosed in the Prospectus, other than those disclosed therein, and, to their knowledge, all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company or its Significant Subsidiaries is a party or of which any of the property of the Company or its subsidiaries is the subject which are not described in the Registration Statement, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, are, considered in the aggregate, not material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(xiv) To their knowledge, there are no contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases or other instruments required to be described or referred to in the Registration Statement or to be filed as exhibits thereto other than those described or referred to therein or filed as exhibits thereto, the summaries thereof or references thereto are correct in all material respects.
(xv) No authorization, approval or consent of any court or governmental authority or agency is required that has not been obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, and state securities laws or Blue Sky laws or real estate syndication laws; to their knowledge, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein and compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder and thereunder will not (A) constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is a party or by which they may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is subject, except where such breach, default, creation or imposition would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or (B) result in violation of the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, Partnership Agreement, Code of Regulations or
Operating Agreement of the Company or subsidiaries or any applicable law, administrative regulation or administrative or court order or decree.
(xvi) Neither the Company nor any Significant Subsidiary is required to be registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act.
(xvii) The statements in the Prospectus, if any, under the captions "Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Ohio Law," "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Federal Income Tax Considerations," to the extent that they constitute matters of law or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by them and such statements or summaries are correct in all material respects.
(xviii) The Company has qualified as a REIT for its taxable years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the Company is organized and operates in a manner that will enable it to qualify to be taxed as a REIT under the Code for the taxable years ended December 31, 1998 and thereafter provided the Company continues to meet the asset composition, source of income, shareholder diversification, distributions, record keeping, and other requirements of the Code which are necessary for the Company to qualify as a REIT.
(xix) The choice of law provisions in the Senior Indenture are enforceable in accordance with their terms.
(xx) To their knowledge, no default exists in the due performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument described or referred to in the Registration Statement or filed as an exhibit thereto which would have a material adverse effect on the condition, financial or otherwise, or on the earnings or business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(c) On the date hereof, you shall have received from Brown & Wood LLP, counsel for the Agents, their opinion or opinions dated as of the date hereof with respect to the matters set forth in (i), (v) to (x), inclusive, and (xii) of subsection (b) of this Section 9, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they may request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.
In giving their opinion, Brown & Wood LLP may rely as to matters involving the laws of the State of Ohio upon the opinion of Baker & Hostetler LLP. In giving their opinion, Baker & Hostetler LLP may rely as to matters involving the laws of the State of New York upon the opinion of Brown & Wood llp. Baker & Hostetler LLP and Brown & Wood LLP may rely (i) as to the qualification of the Company or its subsidiaries to do business in any state or jurisdiction, upon certificates of appropriate government officials, and (ii) as to matters of fact, upon certificates and written statements of officers and employees of and accountants for the Company or its subsidiaries.
(d) At the date hereof and between pricing and each settlement date:
(i) there shall not have occurred any downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of any intended or potential downgrading or of any review for a possible change that does not indicate the direction of the possible change, in the rating accorded any of the Company's securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization," as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and
(ii) there shall not have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, from that set forth in the Prospectus (exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the date of this Agreement) that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and that makes it, in your judgment, impracticable to market the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
(e) At the date hereof, the Agents shall have received a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, dated as of the date hereof, to the effect that (i) since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus or since the date of the applicable agreement by one or more Agents to purchase Notes as principal, there has not been any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3 hereof are true and correct with the same force and effect as though expressly made at and as of the date of such certificate and (iii) the Company has performed or complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the date of such certificate. As used in this Section 9(e), the term "Prospectus" means the Prospectus in the form first provided to the applicable Agent or Agents for use in confirming sales of the Notes.
(f) On the date hereof and on each Settlement Date, counsel to the Agents shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as such counsel may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling such counsel to pass upon the issuance and sale of Notes as herein contemplated and related proceedings, or in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations and warranties, or the fulfillment of any of the conditions, herein contained; and all proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale of Notes as herein contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Agents and to counsel to the Agents.
If any condition specified in this Section 9 shall not have been
fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated
by the applicable Agent or Agents by notice to the Company at any time and any
such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party,
except that the covenant regarding provision of an earnings statement set forth
in Section 5(h) hereof, the provision concerning payment of expenses under
Section 6 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreement set forth in Section
7 hereof, the provisions concerning the survival of indemnities,
representations, warranties, etc. of Section 8 hereof, the
provision relating to successors set forth in Section 14, and the provision relating to applicable law set forth in Section 15 hereof shall remain in effect.
10. DELIVERY OF AND PAYMENT FOR NOTES SOLD THROUGH AN AGENT. Delivery of Notes sold through an Agent as agent shall be made by the Company to such Agent for the account of any purchaser only against payment therefor in immediately available funds. In the event that a purchaser shall fail either to accept delivery of or to make payment for a Note on the date fixed for settlement, such Agent shall promptly notify the Company and deliver such Note to the Company and, if such Agent has theretofore paid the Company for such Note, the Company will promptly return such funds to such Agent. If such failure occurred for any reason other than default by such Agent in the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Company will reimburse such Agent on an equitable basis for its loss of the use of the funds for the period such funds were credited to the Company's account.
11. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. The Company covenants and agrees with the Agents that:
(a) Each acceptance by the Company of an offer for the purchase of Notes (whether to one or more Agents as principal or through an Agent as agent), and each delivery of Notes (whether to one or more Agents as principal or through an Agent as agent), shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and in any certificate theretofore delivered to the Agents in connection therewith pursuant hereto are true and correct at the time of such acceptance or sale, as the case may be, and an undertaking that such representations and warranties will be true and correct at the time of delivery to such Agent or Agents or to the purchaser or its agent, as the case may be, of the Note or Notes relating to such acceptance or sale, as the case may be, as though made at and as of each such time (and it is understood that such representations and warranties shall relate to the Registration Statement and Prospectus as amended and supplemented to each such time).
(b) Each time that (i) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
shall be amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement
providing solely for a change in the interest rate or formula applicable to the
Notes or similar changes, and other than by an amendment or supplement which
relates exclusively to the issuance of securities other than the Notes), (ii)
there is filed with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into
the Prospectus (other than any Current Report on Form 8-K relating exclusively
to the issuance of securities other than the Notes), (iii) (if required in
connection with the purchase of Notes by one or more Agents as principal) the
Company sells Notes to such Agent or Agents as principal or (iv) if the Company
issues and sells Notes in a form not previously certified to the Agents by the
Company, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agent(s)
forthwith a certificate dated the date of filing with the Commission of such
supplement or document, the date of effectiveness of such amendment, or the
date of such sale, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to the Agent(s) to
the effect that the statements contained in the certificate referred to in
Section 9(d) hereof which were last furnished to the Agents are true and
correct at the time of such amendment, supplement, filing or sale, as the case
may be, as though made at and as of such time (except that such statements
shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as
amended and supplemented to such time) or, in lieu of such certificate, a
certificate of the same tenor as the certificate referred to in Section 9(d)
hereof, modified as
necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such certificate.
(c) Each time that (i) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
shall be amended or supplemented (other than by an amendment or supplement
providing solely for a change in the interest rate or formula applicable to the
Notes or similar changes or solely for the inclusion of additional financial
information, and other than by an amendment or supplement which relates
exclusively to the issuance of securities other than the Notes), (ii) there is
filed with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the
Prospectus (other than any Current Report on Form 8-K, unless the Agents shall
otherwise specify), (iii) (if required in connection with the purchase of Notes
by one or more Agents as principal) the Company sells Notes to such Agent or
Agents as principal or (iv) if the Company issues and sells Notes in a form not
previously certified to the Agents by the Company, the Company shall furnish or
cause to be furnished forthwith to the Agent(s) and to counsel to the Agents
the written opinions of Baker & Hostetler LLP, counsel to the Company, dated
the date of filing with the Commission of such supplement or document, the date
of effectiveness of such amendment, or the date of such sale, as the case may
be, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent(s), of the same tenor as
the opinion referred to in Section 9(b) hereof, but modified, as necessary, to
relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and
supplemented to the time of delivery of such opinion or, in lieu of such
opinion, counsel last furnishing such opinion to the Agents shall furnish the
Agent(s) with a letter substantially to the effect that the Agent(s) may rely
on such last opinion to the same extent as though it was dated the date of such
letter authorizing reliance (except that statements in such last opinion shall
be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended
and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing reliance);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that counsel need not render the opinion required under
Section 9(b)(xviii) upon the filing of any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which
does not include information relating to such tax matters, unless the Agents
shall otherwise specify.
(d) Each time that (i) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be amended or supplemented to include additional financial information (other than by an amendment or supplement which relates exclusively to the issuance of securities other than the Notes), (ii) there is filed with the Commission any document incorporated by reference into the Prospectus which contains additional financial information, or (iii) (if required in connection with the purchase of Notes by one or more Agents as principal) the Company sells Notes to such Agent or Agents as principal, the Company shall cause PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to furnish to the Agent(s) a letter, dated the date of effectiveness of such amendment, supplement or document with the Commission, or the date of such sale, as the case may be, in form satisfactory to the Agent(s), of the same tenor as the portions of the letter referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 9(a) hereof but modified to relate to the Registration Statement and Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter, and of the same general tenor as the portions of the letter referred to in clauses (iv) and (v) of said Section 9(a) with such changes as may be necessary to reflect changes in the financial statements and other information derived from the accounting records of the Company.
12. TERMINATION. (a) This Agreement (excluding any agreement hereunder by one or more Agents to purchase Notes as principal) may be terminated for any reason, at any time by
either the Company or an Agent, as to itself, upon the giving of 10 days' written notice of such termination to the other party hereto.
(b) The applicable Agent or Agents may terminate any agreement hereunder by such Agent or Agents to purchase Notes as principal, immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time prior to the Settlement Date relating thereto (i) if there has been, since the date of such agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there shall have occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent or Agents, impracticable to market the Notes or enforce contracts for the sale of the Notes, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange, or if trading generally on either the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium shall have been declared by either Federal or New York authorities or if a banking moratorium shall have been declared by the relevant authorities in the country or countries of origin of any foreign currency or currencies in which the Notes are denominated or payable, or (iv) if the rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to any debt securities of the Company as of the date of such agreement shall have been lowered since that date or if any such rating organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any debt securities of the Company, or (v) if there shall have come to the attention of such Agent or Agents any facts that would cause them to believe that the Prospectus, at the time it was required to be delivered to a purchaser of Notes, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances existing at the time of such delivery, not misleading. As used in this Section 12(b), the term "Prospectus" means the Prospectus in the form first provided to the applicable Agent or Agents for use in confirming sales of the related Notes.
(c) In the event of any such termination, neither party will have any
liability to the other party hereto, except that (i) the Agents shall be
entitled to any commission earned in accordance with the third paragraph of
Section 4(b) hereof, (ii) if at the time of termination (a) any Agent shall own
any Notes purchased by it as principal with the intention of reselling them or
(b) an offer to purchase any of the Notes has been accepted by the Company but
the time of delivery to the purchaser or his agent of the Note or Notes
relating thereto has not occurred, the covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 11
hereof shall remain in effect until such Notes are so resold or delivered, as
the case may be, and (iii) the covenant set forth in Section 5(h) hereof, the
provisions of Section 6 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set
forth in Section 7 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 8, 14 and 15 hereof
shall remain in effect.
