PART I
ITEM 1 AND 1A. BUSINESS AND RISK FACTORS
GENERAL
PACCAR Financial Corp.
PACCAR Financial Corp. (the Company), a Washington corporation, was incorporated in 1961 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR Inc (PACCAR) to finance the sale of PACCAR products. In 2000, PACCAR transferred the stock of the Company to PACCAR Financial Services Corporation (PFSC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR.
The Company principally provides financing and leasing of PACCAR manufactured trucks and other transportation equipment sold through Kenworths and Peterbilts independent dealer network in the United States. The Company also finances dealer inventories of new and used transportation equipment. The Companys PacLease division franchises Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships to engage in full-service and finance leasing. In selected markets, PacLease directly engages in full-service leasing with its customers through Company-owned stores and on a limited basis through Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships.
PACCAR
PACCAR has two principal industry segments, (1) design, manufacture and distribution of light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks and related aftermarket distribution of parts and (2) finance and leasing services provided to customers and dealers. Light and medium-duty trucks have a gross vehicle weight (GVW) ranging from 16,000 to 33,000 lbs (Class 5 to 7) in North America and 6 to 15 metric tonnes in Europe. Heavy duty trucks have a GVW of over 33,000 lbs (Class 8 market) in North America and over 15 metric tonnes in Europe. PACCARs finance and leasing activities are principally related to PACCAR products and associated equipment. Other manufactured products include industrial winches.
PACCAR and its subsidiaries design and manufacture heavy-duty diesel trucks which are marketed under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF nameplates. These trucks, which are built in three plants in the United States, three in Europe and one each in Australia, Canada and Mexico, are used world-wide for over-the-road and off-highway hauling of freight, petroleum, wood products, construction and other materials. PACCAR competes in the North American Class 5 to 7 markets primarily with conventional models. These trucks are assembled at facilities in Ste. Therese, Canada and in Mexicali, Mexico, which are operated by PACCARs wholly owned subsidiaries located in those countries. PACCAR competes in the European light/medium market with DAF cab-over-engine trucks assembled in the United Kingdom by Leyland, one of PACCARs wholly owned subsidiaries. Commercial trucks and related aftermarket parts comprise the largest segment of PACCARs business, accounting for 86.5% of total 2009 net sales and revenues.
Substantially all trucks and related aftermarket parts are sold to independent dealers. The Kenworth and Peterbilt nameplates are marketed and distributed by separate divisions in the U.S. and a foreign subsidiary in Canada. The Kenworth nameplate is also marketed and distributed by foreign subsidiaries in Mexico and Australia. The DAF nameplate is marketed and distributed by a foreign subsidiary headquartered in the Netherlands. A U.S. division, PACCAR International, also markets all three nameplates outside each of their primary markets. The decision to operate as a subsidiary or as a division is incidental to PACCARs Truck Segment operations and reflect legal, tax and regulatory requirements in the various countries where PACCAR operates.
Aftermarket truck parts are sold and delivered to Kenworths and Peterbilts independent dealers through PACCARs parts distribution network. Parts are both manufactured by PACCAR and purchased from various suppliers. Aftermarket parts inventory levels are determined largely by anticipated customer demand and the need for timely delivery. As a percentage of total consolidated net sales and revenues, parts sales were 23.4% in 2009, 15.1% in 2008, and 15.0% in 2007.
3
PACCAR Financial Corp.
There were three other principal competitors in the U.S. and Canada Class 8 truck market in 2009. PACCARs share of the U.S. and Canadian market was 25.1% of retail sales in 2009. In Europe there were five other principal competitors in the commercial vehicle market in 2009, including parent companies to two competitors of PACCAR in the United States. In 2009, DAF had a record 14.8% share of the Western and Central European heavy-duty market and a 9.3% share of the light/medium market. These markets are highly competitive in price, quality and service, and PACCAR is not dependent on any single customer for its sales. There are no significant seasonal variations in sales.
In addition to the Company, which provides financing, leasing and full-service truck leasing in the United States, PACCAR offers similar financing programs for PACCAR products through other wholly-owned finance companies in Mexico, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Continental Europe. PACCAR also conducts full-service leasing operations through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada, Mexico and Germany.
PACCARs common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol PCAR. PACCAR and the Company are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, in accordance therewith, file reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission). All reports, proxy statements and other information filed by PACCAR and the Company with the Commission may be inspected and copied at the public reference facility maintained by the Commission at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 or through the Commissions internet site at www.sec.gov.
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
The Company operates primarily in one industry segment, finance and leasing services provided to customers and dealers in the United States for new Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, used trucks, truck trailers and allied equipment. The Companys PacLease division franchises Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships to engage in full-service and finance leasing. In selected markets, PacLease directly engages in full-service leasing with its customers through Company-owned stores and on a limited basis through Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships.
The Company conducts business with most Kenworth and Peterbilt dealers in the United States. The volume of the Companys business is significantly affected by PACCARs sales of trucks to its dealers and competition from other financing sources.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company employed 247 full-time employees, none of whom are represented by a collective bargaining agent. The Company considers relations with its employees to be good.
RISK FACTORS
The Company is exposed to certain risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact to the Companys financial condition and operating results, including:
Sales of PACCAR Products
The Companys business is substantially dependent upon the sale of PACCAR products and its ability to offer competitive financing in the United States. Changes in the volume of sales of PACCAR products due to a variety of reasons could impact the level of business of the Company. Refer to the Relationship with PACCAR and Affiliates section in this Business section and Note D Transactions with PACCAR and Affiliates in the Notes to the Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Companys relationship with PACCAR.
4
PACCAR Financial Corp.
Credit Risk
Credit risk, including counterparty credit risk in derivative transactions, is the risk of loss arising from the failure of a customer, dealer or counterparty to meet the terms of any contract with the Company or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. The Company may be exposed to a greater credit risk in periods of adverse economic conditions, such as high interest rates, limited credit availability, high diesel prices or a decline in freight demand, since it becomes more difficult for some customers and dealers to perform as agreed. These conditions could also cause a decrease in the value of the Companys collateral. Refer to Note E Derivative Financial Instruments in the Notes to the Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Companys exposure to counterparty risk. Refer to Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion of credit losses.
Residual Value Risk
Residual value risk is the risk that the estimated residual value of leased assets at lease origination, for the Companys operating leases and certain direct financing leases, will not be recoverable. When the market value of these leased assets at contract maturity or at early termination is less than its contractual residual value, the Company will be exposed to a greater risk of loss on the sales of the returned equipment. Refer to the Critical Accounting Policy on Equipment on Operating Leases in the MD&A section for further discussion regarding the Companys exposure to residual value risk.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates, liquidity or prices will negatively impact the Companys operating results and access to capital. Policies governing market risk exposure are established and periodically reviewed by the Companys senior management. Refer to Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk for further discussion regarding the Companys exposure to interest rate risk.
THE COMPANYS PRODUCTS
The Company offers the following products to retail customers:
Retail Contracts and Loans The Company purchases contracts from dealers and receives assignments of the contracts and a first lien security interest in the vehicles financed (Retail Contracts). Certain Retail Contracts with third party leasing companies may also include an assignment to the Company of the related lease and rental payments due. Retail Contracts purchased by the Company have fixed or floating interest rates.
The Company also makes loans to the end users of the vehicles financed that are secured by a first lien security interest in the vehicles (Loans). Loans have fixed or floating interest rates.
Direct Financing Leases The Company offers direct financing lease contracts where it is treated as the owner of the equipment for tax purposes and generally retains the tax depreciation (Direct Financing Leases). The lessee is responsible for the payment of property and sales taxes, licenses, maintenance and other operating costs. The lessee is obligated to maintain the equipment and to insure the equipment against physical damage and liability losses.
Most of the Companys Direct Financing Leases contain a Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause, which requires the lessee to guarantee to the Company a stated residual value upon disposition of the equipment at the end of the direct financing lease term.
Operating Leases The Company offers operating lease contracts (Operating Leases) where the Company owns the equipment. The lessee is responsible for the payment of property and sales taxes, licenses, maintenance and other operating costs. The lessee is obligated to maintain the equipment and to insure the equipment against casualty and liability losses.
5
PACCAR Financial Corp.
At the end of the operating lease term, the lessee has the option to return the equipment to the Company or purchase the equipment at its fair market value.
Insurance The Companys PacLease business offers physical damage and liability insurance on new and used trucks and trailers to its full-service lease customers. To limit its exposure the Company has acquired insurance coverage for losses above specified levels from a third party insurance carrier.
The Company offers the following products to Kenworth and Peterbilt dealers and PacLease franchisees:
Master Notes Master note contracts (Master Notes) are offered to select dealers for new and used trucks. Retail installment contracts originated by the dealer for new or used trucks which meet the Companys requirement as to form, terms and creditworthiness for Retail Contracts are pledged to the Company as collateral for direct, full recourse loans by the Company to the dealer. Master Notes have fixed or floating interest rates.
Wholesale Contracts The Company provides wholesale financing for new and used truck and trailer inventories for dealers (Wholesale Contracts). Wholesale Contracts are secured by the inventories financed. The amount of credit extended by the Company for each truck is generally limited to the invoice price of new equipment and to the wholesale value of used equipment. Wholesale Contracts have floating interest rates.
Dealer Loans The Company makes secured loans to selected Peterbilt and Kenworth dealers (Dealer Loans). The purpose of these loans includes the financing of real estate, fixed assets, working capital and dealership acquisitions. Dealer Loans have fixed or floating interest rates.
Full-Service Leasing The Company also conducts full-service leasing operations under the PacLease trade name. Selected dealers are franchised to provide full-service leasing, which includes the equipment, maintenance, parts, taxes and licenses all in a combined contract with the customer. The Company provides the franchisees with equipment financing and managerial support. The Company also operates full-service lease outlets in selected markets on its own behalf.
Insurance The Company charges a fee to provide insurance coverage, through an unrelated regulated insurance carrier, on new trucks, used trucks and trailer inventory to dealers having Wholesale Contracts with the Company.
CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION, PAST DUE ACCOUNTS AND LOSS EXPERIENCE
Customer Concentration
The Companys customers are concentrated in the transportation industry throughout the United States. The Company does not have contractual arrangements with any one party (customers, dealers and/or franchises) that account for 10% or more of Finance and Lease Receivables for the periods ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. For the period ended December 31, 2009 the Company had contractual arrangements with one customer that accounted for 11.8% of total Interest and Other Revenue. No one party accounted for 10% or more of total Interest and Other Revenue for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Past Due Receivables and Allowance for Losses
An account is considered past due by the Company if any portion of an installment is due and unpaid for more than 30 days. In periods of adverse economic conditions, past due levels, repossessions and credit losses generally increase.
The provision for losses on finance and other receivables is charged to income based on managements estimate of incurred credit losses, net of recoveries, inherent in the portfolio. Receivables are charged to the allowance for losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered uncollectible (generally upon repossession of the collateral).

PACCAR Financial Corp.
For further discussion of the allowance for losses, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
COMPETITION AND ECONOMIC FACTORS
The commercial truck and trailer finance and leasing business is highly competitive among banks, commercial finance companies, captive finance companies and leasing companies. Some of these institutions have substantially greater financial resources than the Company and may borrow funds at lower rates.
The dealers are the primary source of contracts acquired by the Company. However, dealers are not required to obtain financing from the Company and they have a variety of other sources that may be used for wholesale and customer financing of trucks. Retail purchasers also have a variety of sources available to finance truck purchases.
The ability of the Company to compete in its market is principally based on the rates, terms and conditions that the Company offers dealers and retail purchasers, as well as the specialized services it provides. Rates, terms and conditions are based on the Companys desire to provide flexible financing and services to satisfy dealer and customer needs, the ability of the Company to borrow funds at competitive rates and the Companys need to earn an adequate return on its invested capital. The Companys business is also affected by changes in market interest rates and used truck values, which in turn are related to general economic conditions, demand for credit, inflation and governmental policies. Seasonality is not a significant factor in the Companys business.
The volume of receivables available to be acquired by the Company from dealers is largely dependent upon the number of Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks sold in the United States. Sales of medium- and heavy-duty trucks depend on the capital equipment requirements of the transportation industry, which in turn are influenced by growth and cyclical variations in the economy. Medium- and heavy-duty truck sales are also sensitive to economic factors such as fuel costs, interest rates, insurance premiums, federal excise and highway use taxes, taxation on the acquisition and use of capital goods, as well as government regulations.
REGULATION AND SIMILAR MATTERS
In certain states, the Company is subject to retail installment sales or installment loan statutes and related regulations, the terms of which vary from state to state. These laws may require the Company to be licensed as a sales finance company and may regulate disclosure of finance charges and other terms of retail installment contracts. The Company is subject to substantive state franchise regulations and federal and state uniform franchise disclosure laws in connection with the offering of PacLease full-service truck leasing and rental franchises to Kenworth and Peterbilt truck dealers. The Company also owns and operates several truck leasing and rental business locations, which are subject to applicable state licensing laws. The Company is also subject to certain provisions of federal law relating to non-discrimination in the granting of credit.
SOURCES OF FUNDS
The Companys primary sources of funds are commercial paper and medium-term note borrowings in the public capital markets, collections on loans and leases, retained earnings and to a lesser extent borrowings from PACCAR, bank loans and capital contributions from PFSC. The Companys investment in additional receivables is dependent upon its ability to raise funds at competitive rates in the public and private debt markets. The receivables and leases that are financed are either fixed rate or floating rate with terms that generally range from 12 to 84 months.
To reduce the risk of changes in interest rates that could affect interest margins, the Company obtains funds with interest rate characteristics similar to the corresponding assets. Fixed rate assets are primarily funded with fixed and floating rate medium-term notes and commercial paper. Cash flow swaps are combined with commercial paper or floating rate medium-term notes to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt to achieve the Companys match funding objectives. Floating rate assets are funded primarily with commercial paper with maturities of three months or less and floating rate medium-term notes.
As of December 31, 2009, the total notional principal amount of cash flow swap contracts outstanding was $1,451.0, all of which effectively resulted in a net fixed rate payment obligation.
7
PACCAR Financial Corp.
A portion of the Companys fixed-rate term notes has been converted to variable-rate term notes using fair value hedges for interest rate risk. Fair value is determined using modeling techniques that include market inputs for interest rates. As of December 31, 2009, the total notional principal amount of fair value swap contracts outstanding was $115.0, all of which result in a net floating rate payment obligation.
The notional amounts are used to measure the volume of these contracts and do not represent exposure to credit loss. The permitted types of interest rate swap contracts, counterparties transaction limits and related approval authorizations have been established by the Companys senior management and Board of Directors. The interest rate contracts outstanding are regularly reported to, and reviewed by, the Companys senior management.
The Company participates with PACCAR and certain other PACCAR affiliates in syndicated credit facilities of $3,000 at December 31, 2009. Of this amount, $2,000 expires in June 2010 and $1,000 expires in 2012. PACCAR intends to replace these credit facilities as they expire with facilities of similar amounts.
Credit facilities of $2,030 are available for use by the Company and/or PACCAR and certain other PACCAR affiliates. The remaining $970 is allocated to the following subsidiaries: $485 is available for use by PACCARs Canadian financial subsidiary, $200 is available for use by PACCARs Mexican financial subsidiary, $195 is available for use by PACCARs United Kingdom financial subsidiary, and $90 is available for use by PACCARs Australian financial subsidiary. These credit facilities are used to provide backup liquidity for the Companys commercial paper and maturing medium-term notes. The Company is liable only for its own borrowings under these credit facilities. There were no borrowings under these credit facilities in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had medium-term notes outstanding with a notional value of $1,148.5 under two shelf registration statements, of which $575.0 are due within 12 months. See Note F Borrowings in the Notes to the Financial Statements for further information on the Companys medium-term notes.
An indenture of the Company dated as of December 1, 1983, as amended by a first supplemental indenture dated June 19, 1989 (Exhibit 4.1(a)), and a second indenture dated November 20, 2009 (Exhibit 4.1(c)) with respect to the Companys medium-term notes which are publicly issued from time to time, contain restrictions limiting secured debt which may be incurred by the Company and any subsidiary.
RELATIONSHIP WITH PACCAR AND AFFILIATES
General
The operations of the Company are fundamentally affected by its relationship with PACCAR. Sales of PACCAR products are the Companys principal source of its financing business. The Company receives administrative support from and pays dividends to PFSC and periodically borrows funds from or lends money to PACCAR and/or its affiliates. The Companys principal office is located in the corporate headquarters building of PACCAR (owned by PACCAR). The Company also leases office space from one facility owned by PACCAR and five facilities leased by PACCAR. Since the directors of the Company are all executives of PACCAR and PACCAR is the sole owner of PFSCs outstanding voting common stock, PACCAR can determine the course of the Companys business.
Periodically, the Company makes loans to, borrows from and has intercompany transactions with PACCAR. The Company had $395.0 and nil outstanding in loans due to PACCAR as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company had $52.0 and $814.5 outstanding in loans due from PACCAR as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In addition, the Company loans funds to certain foreign finance and leasing affiliates of PACCAR. The Company had $266.6 and $378.9 outstanding in loans due from foreign finance and leasing affiliates of PACCAR as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These various affiliates have Support Agreements with PACCAR, similar to the Companys Support Agreement with PACCAR. The foreign affiliates operate in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Mexico, Canada and Australia, and any resulting currency exposure is fully hedged. The foreign affiliates primarily provide financing and leasing of PACCAR-manufactured trucks and related equipment sold through Kenworths and Peterbilts independent dealer networks in Europe, Mexico, Canada and Australia. The Company will not make loans to the foreign affiliates in excess of the equivalent of $500.0 United States dollars, unless the amount in excess of such limit is guaranteed by PACCAR. The Company periodically reviews the funding alternatives for these affiliates, and these limits may be revised in the future.
8
PACCAR Financial Corp.
PFSC charges the Company for certain administrative services it provides and certain services the Company receives indirectly from PACCAR. As of December 31, 2009, PFSC employed 146 full-time employees, none of whom are represented by a collective bargaining agent. The costs are charged to the Company based upon the Companys specific use of the services at PFSCs or PACCARs cost. Management considers these charges reasonable and similar to the costs that would be incurred if the Company were on a stand-alone basis. See Note D Transactions with PACCAR and Affiliates in the Notes to Financial Statements.
Support Agreement
The Company and PACCAR are parties to a Support Agreement that obligates PACCAR to provide, when required, financial assistance to the Company to assure that the Company maintains a ratio of net earnings available for fixed charges to fixed charges (as defined in the Support Agreement) of at least 1.25 to 1 for any fiscal year. The Support Agreement also requires PACCAR to own, directly or indirectly, all outstanding voting stock of the Company. The required ratio was met for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 without assistance. See Note D Transactions with PACCAR and Affiliates in the Notes to Financial Statements.
The Company and PACCAR may amend or terminate any or all of the provisions of the Support Agreement upon 30 days notice, with copies of the notice being sent to all nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) which have issued ratings with respect to debt of the Company (Rated Debt). Such amendment or termination will be effective only if (i) two NRSROs confirm in writing that their ratings with respect to any Rated Debt would remain the same after such amendment or termination, or (ii) the notice of amendment or termination provides that the Support Agreement will continue in effect with respect to Rated Debt outstanding on the effective date of such amendment or termination unless such debt has been paid or defeased pursuant to the indenture or other agreement applicable to such debt, or (iii) the holders of at least two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Rated Debt with original maturity in excess of 270 days consent in writing to such amendment or termination, provided that the holders of Rated Debt having an original maturity of 270 days or less shall continue to have the benefits of the Support Agreement until the maturity of such debt.
The Support Agreement expressly states that PACCARs commitments to the Company thereunder do not constitute a PACCAR guarantee of payment of any indebtedness or liability of the Company to others and do not create rights against PACCAR in favor of persons other than the Company. There are no guarantees, direct or indirect, by PACCAR of payment of any indebtedness of the Company.

Results of Operations
2009 Compared to 2008:
Net income
The Companys net income of $28.0 in 2009 decreased from $44.2 in 2008. The lower net income was primarily the result of lower finance margin from lower average earning asset balances and lower yields partially offset by a lower provision for losses primarily due to lower charge offs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
Revenue
Interest and other revenue in 2009 decreased $82.8 to $426.8 from $509.6 in 2008. The decrease was due to declines in interest and fee income and lower operating lease and rental income, partially offset by higher used truck sales and other income.

Interest and fee income declined due to lower average balances and lower yields, as summarized below:

Interest and fee income 2009 |
$ | 232.9 |
Average earning assets declined as a result of lower new loan volume related to lower retail truck sales. The reduction in average loan and direct finance lease yields in 2009 was due to lower market interest rates.
Operating lease and rental revenues decreased primarily due to lower yields, as summarized below:

Decrease in yield and rental utilization |
(21.1 | ) | ||
Operating lease and rental revenues 2009 |
$ | 163.2 |
Operating lease and rental revenue declined primarily due to lower yields related to a decrease in short-term rental utilization and a lower fleet size during the first half of 2009, reflecting weak market demand and lower market rates. This was partially offset by the effect of higher average operating lease assets.
Used truck sales and other income increased in 2009 primarily due to higher sales of used trucks
acquired from PACCAR truck division customers as part of new truck sales packages. This was offset by lower insurance premiums as the Company discontinued physical damage insurance on new retail loan business which was not integral to the
Expenses
Interest and other borrowing costs in 2009 decreased primarily due to lower average debt balances and lower borrowing rates, as summarized below:

The decline in average debt balances in 2009 was due to a reduction in the asset portfolio resulting in lower funding requirements. The reduction in borrowing rates was primarily due to lower market interest rates.
Depreciation and other rental expenses increased slightly in 2009 from 2008 due to an increase in operating lease assets and impairments on off-lease units. Cost of used trucks sales and other expenses increased in 2009 from 2008 primarily due to an increase in the number of used trucks sold related to new truck sales packages, offset by lower insurance claims expense.

In 2009, credit losses net of recoveries decreased to $54.4 compared to $73.2 for the year ended 2008 as a result of fewer repossessions and a lower loss per repossession. The percentage of retail loan and lease receivables past due over 30 days has reduced to 1.96% at December 31, 2009 from 2.27% at December 31, 2008. The Company is actively working with its past due customers to get their payment status back to current.

PACCAR Financial Corp.
Dealer wholesale financing balances decreased in 2009 to $275.7 at December 31, 2009 compared to $352.9 at December 31, 2008, as dealers reduced new truck inventory balances.
The estimation methods and factors considered for determining the allowance during the periods included in this filing have been consistently applied and are discussed further under Critical Accounting Policies. There have been no significant changes in customer contract terms during the periods.
The provision for losses on receivables decreased $25.7 in 2009 from 2008 due to lower finance receivables and lower net charge-offs.
The Companys effective income tax rate was 37.5% for 2009 compared to 38.3% for 2008.

Net income
The Companys net income of $44.2 in 2008 decreased from $82.3 in 2007. The lower net income was primarily the result of lower interest and fee income and an increase in the provision for losses on receivables due to higher net credit losses. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest and other borrowing expenses from both lower interest rates and lower debt balances.
Revenue
Interest and other revenue in 2008 decreased $63.4 to $509.6 from $573.0 in 2007. The decrease was due to declines in interest and fee income of $57.6 and lower insurance premiums partially offset by higher revenue from operating lease assets. In 2008, the Company discontinued originating physical damage insurance on new retail loan business as it was not integral to its finance business. The existing physical damage contracts will remain in effect until maturity.

Finance receivables declined due to lower new loan volume related to lower dealer truck sales. The reduction in average loan yields during 2008 was due to lower market interest rates. Operating lease and rental income increased over the periods due to higher operating lease assets.
Operating lease and rental revenue increased primarily due to higher average balances, as summarized below:

The reduction in borrowing rates was due to lower market interest rates and the decline in average debt balances was due to a reduction in required funding levels. Depreciation and other rental expenses increased in 2008 due to an increase in operating lease assets. Insurance claims and other expenses decreased in 2008 as a result of fewer contracts outstanding. Provision for losses on receivables in 2008 increased $43.8 due to higher net credit losses as a slowing economy and high fuel prices negatively affected truck operators in the U.S.

In 2008, an economic slowdown together with higher fuel costs resulted in increased credit losses as some truck owners experienced lower operating profits and cashflows which impacted their ability to make timely payments. In 2008, credit losses net of recoveries increased to $73.2 compared to $18.7 in 2007, as a result of an increase in repossession activity and lower used truck resale prices. As a percentage of the total portfolio, net credit losses increased for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 1.73% compared to .38% at December 31, 2007. The percentage of retail loan and lease receivables past due over 30 days decreased to 2.27% as of December 31, 2008 compared to 2.80% at December 31, 2007 primarily as a result of lower fuel prices in the latter half of 2008 which improved cash flow of some operators.

The estimation methods and factors considered for determining the allowance during the periods included in this filing have been consistently applied and are discussed further under Critical Accounting Policies. There have been no significant changes in customer contract terms during the periods.
The Companys effective income tax rate was 38.3% in 2008 and 2007.
Company Outlook
The Companys results are principally dependent on the
generation of loans and leases and the related spread between the yields on loans and leases and borrowing costs, access to liquidity to generate new business and the level of credit losses. The asset base in 2010 is expected to be comparable to
2009 levels, but will ultimately be dependent on the level of Kenworth and Peterbilt truck sales and other factors. Recessionary economic conditions will continue to exert pressure on the profit margins of truck operators and challenge some
customers ability to make timely payments to the Company. Some improvement in past-due accounts, the level of truck repossessions and voluntary truck returns is expected in 2010 from general economic growth and an increase in used truck
Funding and Liquidity
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company maintained its Standard & Poors and Moodys short-and long-term debt ratings.
The Companys debt ratings at December 31, 2009 are as follows:
Standard
and Poors |
Moodys | |||||
Commercial paper |
A-1+ | P-1 | ||||
Senior unsecured debt |
AA- | A1 |
The Companys strong credit ratings are primarily based on PACCARs operating cash flow, demand for its quality products and substantial financial assets.
The Company periodically registers debt securities under the Securities Act of 1933 for offering to the public. In November 2009, the Company filed a new shelf registration statement to issue medium-term notes. The new registration expires in 2012 and does not limit the principal amount of debt securities that may be issued during the period. In December 2009, the Company issued $250.0 of fixed rate medium-term notes under this registration statement. The total notional amount of medium-term notes outstanding for the Company as of December 31, 2009 was $1,148.5.
PACCAR loaned the Company $370.0 during the first quarter of 2009 and $25.0 during the fourth quarter of 2009 from the proceeds of PACCARs $750.0 fixed rate medium-term note issuance in February 2009. Of the $395.0 in loans, $177.0 matures in 2012 and $218.0 matures in 2014.
The Company believes it will be able to fund receivables, service debt and meet its other payment obligations through internally generated funds, access to public and private debt markets, and advances from PACCAR.
The Company participates with PACCAR and certain other PACCAR affiliates in syndicated credit facilities of $3,000 at December 31, 2009. Of this amount, $2,000 expires in June 2010 and $1,000 expires in November 2012. PACCAR and the Company intend to replace these credit facilities as they expire with facilities of similar amounts. Credit facilities of $2,030 are available for use by the Company and/or PACCAR and certain other PACCAR affiliates. The remaining $970 is allocated to the following subsidiaries: $485 is available for use by PACCARs Canadian financial subsidiary, $200 is available for use by PACCARs Mexican financial subsidiary, $195 is available for use by PACCARs United Kingdom financial subsidiary and $90 is available for use by PACCARs Australian financial subsidiary. These credit facilities are used to provide backup liquidity for the Companys commercial paper and maturing medium-term notes. The Company is liable only for its own borrowings under these credit facilities. There were no borrowings under these credit facilities in the year ended December 31, 2009.

In addition, the Company had loan and lease commitments of $97.0 expiring within one year. These commitments represent commitments to fund new retail loan and lease contracts.
Critical Accounting Policies:
In the preparation of the Companys financial statements, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management uses estimates and makes judgments and assumptions that affect asset and liability values and the amounts reported as income and expense during the periods presented. The following are accounting policies which, in the opinion of management, are particularly sensitive and which, if actual results are different from estimates used by management, may have a material impact on the financial statements.
Operating Leases
The accounting for trucks sold pursuant to agreements accounted for as operating leases is discussed in Note C of the consolidated financial statements. In determining its estimate of the residual value of such vehicles, the Company considers the length of the lease term, the truck model, the expected usage of the truck and anticipated market demand. Operating lease terms generally range from three to seven years. The resulting residual values on operating leases generally range between 30% and 50% of original equipment cost. If the sales price of the trucks at the end of the term of the agreement differs from the Companys estimate, a gain or loss will result.
Future market conditions, changes in government regulations and other factors outside the Companys control could impact the ultimate sales price of trucks returned under these contracts. Residual values are reviewed regularly and adjusted if market conditions warrant. A decrease in the estimated equipment residual values would increase annual depreciation expense over the remaining lease term.
19
PACCAR Financial Corp.
During 2007 market values on vehicles returning upon operating lease maturity were generally higher than the residual values on these vehicles resulting in a decrease of depreciation expense of $4.3 million. During 2008 and 2009, lower market values on trucks returning upon lease maturity, as well as impairments on existing operating leases resulted in additional depreciation expense of $2.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively.
At December 31, 2009, the aggregate residual value of equipment on operating leases was $351.8 million. A 10% decrease in used truck values expected to persist over the remaining maturities of the Companys operating leases, would reduce residual value estimates and result in the Company recording approximately $9 million of additional depreciation per year.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The accounting for allowance for credit losses related to the Companys loans and finance leases is discussed in Note B of the consolidated financial statements. The Company determines the allowance for credit losses on financial services retail and wholesale receivables based on historical loss information, using past due account data, current market conditions and expectations about the future. The allowance for credit losses consists of both a specific reserve and a general reserve based on estimates, including assumptions regarding the likelihood of collecting current and past-due accounts, repossession rates and the recovery rate on the underlying collateral based on used truck values and other pledged collateral or recourse. The Company specifically evaluates large retail and wholesale accounts with past-due balances or that otherwise are deemed to be at a higher risk of credit loss. All other past-due customers, dealers and current accounts are evaluated as a group.
The Company has developed a range of specific loss estimates for its portfolio based on historical experience, taking into account loss frequency and severity in both strong and weak truck market conditions. A projection is made of the range of estimated credit losses inherent in the portfolio from which an amount is determined as probable based on current market conditions and other factors impacting the creditworthiness of the Companys borrowers and their ability to repay. The projected amount is then compared to the allowance for credit loss balance and an appropriate adjustment is made.
The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated quarterly based on the most recent information and expectations about the future. As accounts become past due, the likelihood increases they will not be fully collected. The Companys experience indicates the probability of not fully collecting past-due accounts range between 20% and 80%. Over the past three years, the Companys year-end 30+ days past-due accounts have ranged between .91% and 3.30% of loan and lease receivables. Historically, a 100 basis point increase in the 30+ days past-due percentage has resulted in an increase in future credit losses of 10 to 35 basis points of average receivables. Past-dues were 1.96% at December 31, 2009. If past-dues were 100 basis points higher or 2.96% as of December 31, 2009, the Companys estimate of future credit losses would likely have increased by approximately $3 to $10 million depending on the extent of the past-dues, the estimated value of the collateral as compared to amounts owed and general economic factors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PACCAR Financial Corp. at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE A SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Operations : PACCAR Financial Corp. (the Company), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR Financial Services Corporation (PFSC). PFSC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR Inc (PACCAR). The Company primarily provides financing of PACCAR-manufactured trucks and related equipment sold by authorized dealers. The Company also finances dealer inventories of transportation equipment and franchises Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships to engage in full-service and finance leasing. The operations of the Company are fundamentally affected by its relationship with PACCAR.
Due to the nature of the Companys business, customers are concentrated in the transportation industry throughout the United States. Generally, all receivables are collateralized by the equipment being financed. The risk of credit losses related to this concentration has been considered in establishing the allowance for losses.
Use of Estimates : The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Losses: The Company determines the allowance for credit losses on financial services retail and wholesale receivables based on historical loss information, using past due account data, current market conditions and expectations about the future. The allowance for credit losses consists of both a specific reserve and a general reserve based on estimates, including assumptions regarding the likelihood of collecting current and past-due accounts, repossession rates and the recovery rate on the underlying collateral based on used truck values and other pledged collateral or recourse. The Company specifically evaluates large retail and wholesale accounts with past-due balances or that otherwise are deemed to be at a higher risk of credit loss. All other past-due customers, dealers and current accounts are evaluated as a group.
The Company has developed a range of specific loss estimates for each of its portfolios based on historical experience, taking into account loss frequency and severity in both strong and weak truck market conditions. A projection is made of the range of estimated credit losses inherent in the portfolio from which an amount is determined as probable based on current market conditions and other factors impacting the creditworthiness of the Companys borrowers and their ability to repay. The projected amount is then compared to the allowance for credit loss balance and an appropriate adjustment is made.
Revenue Recognition : Interest income from finance receivables and other receivables is recognized using the interest method. Certain loan origination costs are deferred and amortized to interest income over the term of the loan. For operating leases, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Recognition of interest income and rental revenue is suspended when management determines that collection is not probable (generally after 90 days past the contractual due date). Recognition is resumed if the receivable becomes contractually current and the collection of amounts is again considered probable. Payments received while the loan is in non-accrual status are applied to interest and principal amounts in accordance with the contractual terms.
The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of used trucks when invoiced and delivered to the customer.
Equipment on Operating Leases : Equipment on operating leases is recorded at cost and is depreciated on the straight-line basis to its estimated residual value. Residual values are reviewed regularly and adjusted if market conditions warrant.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Millions of Dollars)
Income Taxes : The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of PACCAR. Income taxes for the Company are determined on a separate return basis, and any related tax liability is paid by the Company to PACCAR and any related tax benefit is paid by PACCAR to the Company.
Subsequent Events : The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued on February 26, 2010.
Reclassification : Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161) effective January 1, 2009. FAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities accordingly the Companys disclosure in Note E has been updated to comply with this standard.
NOTE B FINANCE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Retail loans represent fixed or floating-rate loans to customers collateralized by the vehicles purchased, reported net of interest and other receivables. Retail direct financing leases are contracts leasing equipment to retail customers and dealers. These leases are reported as the sum of minimum lease payments receivable and the estimated residual value of the property subject to the contracts, reduced by unearned interest on finance leases which is shown separately. Dealer wholesale financing represents floating-rate wholesale loans to Kenworth and Peterbilt dealers for new and used trucks. The loans are collateralized by the trucks being financed. Interest and other receivables are interest due on loans and leases and other amounts due in the normal course of business. Dealer master notes are offered to selected dealers for new and used trucks. Retail installment contracts originated by the dealer for new or used trucks which meet the Companys requirement as to form, terms and creditworthiness for retail contracts are pledged to the Company as collateral for direct, full recourse loans by the Company to the dealer. Master notes have fixed or floating interest rates.
Terms for finance and other receivables at origination generally range from 12 to 84 months. Repayment experience indicates some receivables will be paid prior to contract maturity, while some others will be extended or renewed. Accordingly, the maturities of receivables presented here should not be regarded as a forecast of future collections.
Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income.

Substantially all equipment on operating leases is manufactured by PACCAR.
NOTE D TRANSACTIONS WITH PACCAR AND AFFILIATES
The Company and PACCAR are parties to a Support Agreement that obligates PACCAR to provide, when required, financial assistance to the Company to ensure that the Company maintains a ratio of net earnings available for fixed charges to fixed charges (as defined in the Support Agreement) of at least 1.25 to 1 for any fiscal year. The required ratio for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was met without assistance. The Support Agreement also requires PACCAR to own, directly or indirectly, all outstanding voting stock of the Company.
Periodically, the Company makes loans to, borrows from and has intercompany transactions with PACCAR. In addition, the Company periodically loans funds to certain foreign finance and leasing affiliates of PACCAR. These various affiliates have Support Agreements with PACCAR, similar to the Companys Support Agreement. The foreign affiliates operate in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Mexico, Canada and Australia, and any resulting currency exposure is fully hedged. The foreign affiliates primarily provide financing and leasing of PACCAR-manufactured trucks and related equipment sold through Kenworths and Peterbilts independent dealer networks in Europe, Mexico, Canada and Australia. The Company will not make loans to the foreign affiliates in excess of the equivalent of $500.0 United States dollars, unless the amount in excess of such limit is guaranteed by PACCAR. The Company periodically reviews the funding alternatives for these affiliates, and these limits may be revised in the future.
PACCAR loaned the Company $370.0 during the first quarter of 2009 and $25.0 during the fourth quarter of 2009 from the proceeds of PACCARs $750.0 fixed rate medium-term note issuance in February 2009. Of the $395.0 in loans, $177.0 matures in 2012 and $218.0 matures in 2014. The effective rate of these borrowings is 6.67%. In 2009, the Company recognized interest expense on these borrowings of $21.7. Cash paid for interest on these borrowings was $12.6 in 2009.
The receivables due from PACCAR Inc and affiliates was $4.2 and $61.4 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This decrease is primarily related to the Company settling its income tax receivable with PACCAR.

NOTE E DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative financial instruments are used to hedge exposures to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Certain derivative instruments designated as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges are subject to hedge accounting. Derivative instruments that are not subject to hedge accounting are held as economic hedges. The Companys policies prohibit the use of derivatives for speculation or trading. At inception of each hedge relationship, the Company documents its risk management objectives, procedures and accounting treatment. Exposure limits and minimum credit ratings are used to minimize the risks of counterparty default. The Company had no material exposures to default at December 31, 2009.
The Company enters into interest rate contracts. Interest rate contracts generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments. These contracts are used to manage exposures to fluctuation in interest rates. Net amounts paid or received are reflected as adjustments to interest expense. At December 31, 2009, the notional amount of these contracts totaled $1,566.0 with amounts expiring over the next four years. The notional amount is used to measure the volume of these contracts and does not represent exposure to credit loss. In the event of default by the counterparty, the risk in these transactions is the cost of replacing the interest rate contract at current market rates.
Notional maturities for all interest rate contracts are $814.0 for 2010, $425.0 for 2011, $319.0 for 2012 and $8.0 in 2013. The majority of these contracts are floating to fixed swaps that effectively convert an equivalent amount of commercial paper and other variable rate debt to fixed rates.
At December 31, 2009, interest rate contracts designated under hedge accounting had a fair value of $45.5 and were classified on the balance sheets in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other.
Substantially all of the Companys interest rate contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company also has fair value hedges. The Company uses regression and the change in variable cash flows method to assess and measure effectiveness of interest rate contracts. Gains or losses on the effective portion of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges that arise from changes in fair value are initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses on the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are recognized currently in earnings and were immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Cash Flow Hedges
Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified into net income in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Net realized gains and losses from interest rate contracts are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. Of the $27.7, net of tax, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2009, $20.6, net of tax, is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the following 12 months. The fixed interest earned on finance receivables will offset the amount recognized in interest expense, resulting in a stable interest margin consistent with the Companys interest rate risk management strategy.

NOTE I FAIR VALUES MEASUREMENTS
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy of fair value measurements is described below:
Level 1 Valuations are based on quoted prices that the Company has the ability to obtain in actively traded markets for identical assets or liabilities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market or exchange traded market, valuation of these instruments does not require a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 Valuations are based on model-based techniques for which some or all of the assumptions are obtained from indirect market information that is significant to the overall fair value measurement and which require a significant degree of management judgment.

Other Non-Financial Assets that are measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company has used trucks held for sale. The carrying amount of used trucks held for sale is written down when appropriate to reflect their fair value. The fair value of used trucks is determined based on managements evaluation of factors such as recent sales prices of comparable units, the condition of the vehicles and the number of similar units to be sold. The fair value adjustment for used trucks was $6.5 and $4.7 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These assets are categorized as Level 2 and are included in Other assets on the Balance Sheets. There were no Level 1 or 3 assets or liabilities.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash : The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets is stated at fair value.
Net Receivables : For floating rate loans, wholesale financing, and interest and other receivables, fair values approximate carrying values. For fixed rate loans, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current rates for comparable loans. Finance lease receivables and the related loss provisions have been excluded from the accompanying table.
Commercial Paper and Medium-Term Notes : The carrying amounts of the Companys commercial paper and floating-rate medium-term notes approximate their fair value. A portion of the Companys fixed-rate term notes has been converted to variable-rate term notes using fair value hedges for interest rate risk. Fair value of fixed-rate term notes is determined using modeling techniques that include market inputs for interest rates.
Derivative Financial Instruments : Derivative financial instruments, including interest rate contracts, are carried at fair value. Fair values are based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. These derivative contracts are traded over the counter and their fair value is determined using modeling techniques that include market inputs such as interest rates and yield curves. These contracts are categorized as Level 2 and are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other on the Balance Sheets.
Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other : Carrying amounts approximate fair value and have been excluded from the accompanying table.

ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
The registrant has not had any disagreements with its independent auditors on accounting or financial disclosure matters.
ITEM 9A & 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2009 (Evaluation Date). Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures in place at the Company are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company has no subsidiaries), in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining satisfactory internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, we concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the Act of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) 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.

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 six months after the record date.
8
(e) 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, the Security Registrar, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.
(f) With respect to any act to be taken by the Holders of Securities denominated in different currencies or composite currency units, for the purpose of determining the principal amount of Outstanding Securities held by such Holders, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities denominated in a coin or currency or currency unit other than coin or currency of the United States of America shall be deemed to be that amount of coin or currency of the United States of America that could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange for such other currency or currency unit as determined by the Company as of the date of original issuance of such Securities and evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers Certificate.
SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, 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, 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 the attention of its President at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.
The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided , however , that (a) the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. If the party elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustees understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any
9
losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustees reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The party providing electronic instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.
SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at 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 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. Any notice mailed in the manner prescribed by this Indenture shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not received by any particular Holder. 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.
In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.
SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and the rate or rates of interest, if any, the date or dates from which interest shall accrue and maturity and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officers Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.
If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action 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 series.
SECTION 302. Denominations.
The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
15
SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, any Vice Chairman or its President, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver to the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent for authentication Securities of any series executed by the Company, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, and if the Board Resolution, Officers Certificate 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 the determination of the terms of particular Securities of such series such as interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,
(a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and
(b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.
If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such Opinion of Counsel, with appropriate modifications, may instead be delivered at or prior to the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.
If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall, in accordance with this Section and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such global Securities with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more global Securities that (1) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more global Securities, (2) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such global Security or Securities or the nominee of such
16
Depositary, which shall be considered sole owner of the Securities represented by such global Security or Securities for all purposes hereunder whatsoever, and (3) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositarys instructions.
Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 301 for a global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other applicable statute or regulation.
The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any of such Securities if it, being advised by counsel, determines that such activity may not lawfully be taken, or if it, its board of directors, trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or vice president shall determine in good faith that such action would expose it to personal liability to existing Holders or if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustees own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.
Pending the preparation of certificated Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent 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 certificated Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause certificated Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of certificated Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for certificated Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency established by the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of certificated Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as certificated Securities of such series.
17
SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
With respect to each series of Securities, the Company shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies maintained pursuant to Section 1002 a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency established by the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the Security Register) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities of that series and of transfers of Securities of that series. Pursuant to Section 301, the Company shall appoint, with respect to Securities of each series, a Security Registrar for the purpose of registering such Securities and transfers and exchanges of such Securities as herein provided. In the event the Trustee shall not be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the designated office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor, aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity.
At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor, aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 303, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Companys election pursuant to Section 301 (12) shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in certificated form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such global Security or Securities.
The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more global Securities shall no longer be represented by such global Security or Securities. In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
18
certificated Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in certificated form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such global Security or Securities.
If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a global Security for such series of Securities in exchange, in whole or in part, for Securities of such series of like tenor and terms and in certificated form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge:
(a) to the Depositary or to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series, of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Persons beneficial interest in the global Security; and
(b) to such Depositary a new global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.
In addition, a global Security for a series of Securities shall be exchangeable for Securities of such series of like tenor and terms and in certificated form if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities.
In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding four paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent, pursuant to a Company Order, will authenticate and deliver Securities in certificated registered form in authorized denominations.
Upon the exchange of global Securities for Securities in certificated form, such global Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations, and delivered to such addresses, as the Depositary for such global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Security Registrar in writing. The Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered or to the Depositary.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for individual Securities represented thereby, a global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
19
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 Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee 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 (and, if so required by the Trustee, to the Trustee) 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 or the Security Registrar 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 or 1107 not involving any transfer.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.
SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.
If there shall be delivered to the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar (i) a mutilated Security or evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor, principal amount and Stated Maturity and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company or the Security Registrar 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 and the Security Registrar) connected therewith.
20
Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.
Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called Defaulted Interest) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such
21
Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee 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, 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 Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and any other agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent nor any other agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No holder of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under the this Indenture with respect to such global Security and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the sole owner of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility for or liability in respect of any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, any beneficial ownership interests in any global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, and each shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting on any such information provided by the Depositary.
SECTION 309. Cancellation.
All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, 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 shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
22
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. 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. All cancelled Securities shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless the Company by Company Order shall direct that such cancelled Securities be returned to it.
SECTION 310. Computation of Interest.
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months.
ARTICLE FOUR
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Securities of any Series.
The Company shall be deemed to have satisfied and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the Securities of any particular series and the Trustee, upon Company request and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of such indebtedness, when
(1) either
(A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in the last paragraph of Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(B) with respect to all Outstanding Securities of such series described in (A) above not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
(i) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all such Outstanding Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date as contemplated by Section 403, as the case may be; or
23
(ii) to the extent the Securities of such series are payable in U.S. dollars only, the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as obligations in trust such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the United States of America (other than obligations subject to prepayment, redemption or call prior to their stated maturity) as will, together with the predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon (without consideration of any reinvestment thereof), be sufficient to pay and discharge when due the entire indebtedness on all such Outstanding Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date as contemplated by Section 403, as the case may be:
(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable with respect to the Securities of such series;
(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 the entire indebtedness on all Securities of such series have been complied with; and
(4) if (i) the entire indebtedness on the Outstanding Securities of such series is to be satisfied and discharged pursuant to Section 401(1)(B) above, (ii) such Securities will not become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year after the date of deposit provided in Section 401(1) (B) above, and (iii) such Securities of such series are not to be called for redemption within one year of the date of such deposit under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee as of the date of such deposit, then (x) the Company shall have specified the applicability (as provided in Section 301) of this Section 401(4) to the Securities of such series, (y) the Company shall have given, not later than the date of such deposit, notice of such deposit to the Holders of Securities of such series and (z) the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (which counsel shall be recognized tax counsel) stating that, in such counsels opinion, the deposit of funds or obligations and the satisfaction and discharge of indebtedness on the Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 401 will not result in recognition by the Holders of income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes (other than income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in like amount and at a like time absent such deposit, satisfaction and discharge).
24
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 401 with respect to all the Securities of any series, the terms and conditions of such series, including the terms and conditions with respect thereto set forth in this Indenture, shall no longer be binding upon, or applicable to, the Company, and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall look for payment only to the funds or obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401(1)(B); provided , however , that, in no event shall the Company be discharged from (a) any payment obligations in respect of Securities of such series which are deemed not to be Outstanding under clause (iii) of the definition thereof if such obligations continue to be valid obligations of the Company under applicable law, (b) from any obligations under Section 607 or the last paragraph of Section 1003, and (c) from any obligations under Section 305 and 306 (except that Securities of such series issued upon registration of transfer or exchange or in lieu of mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Securities shall not be obligations of the Company), and Section 701.
SECTION 402. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.
Upon compliance by the Company with the provisions of Section 401 as to the satisfaction and discharge of each series of Securities issued hereunder, this Indenture shall cease to be of any further effect (except as otherwise provided herein). Upon Company Request (and at the expense of the Company), the Trustee shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. In the event there are two or more Trustees hereunder, then the effectiveness of any such instrument shall be conditioned upon receipt of such instruments from all Trustees hereunder.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, any obligations of the Company under Sections 305, 306, 607 and 701 and the last paragraph of Section 1003, and of the Trustee under Sections 403 and 614 and the last two paragraphs of Section 1003, shall survive.
SECTION 403. Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of the last two paragraphs of Section 1003, all money and obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held irrevocably in trust and shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee. Such money and obligations shall be applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, this Indenture and such escrow trust agreement, 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 of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities for the payment of which such money and obligations have been deposited with the Trustee (but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law). If Securities of any series are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement, the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.
25
ARTICLE FIVE
REMEDIES
SECTION 501. Events of Default.
Event of Default, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it 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 any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of that series; or

(6) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in
26
respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of the whole or substantially all of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or
(7) a default under any mortgage, indenture (including this Indenture) or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $50,000,000 (except that such dollar amount shall not apply with respect to a default with respect to Securities of any series), becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled or such indebtedness having been discharged within a period of 30 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 25 percent in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled or such indebtedness to be discharged and stating that such notice is a Notice of Default hereunder; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Sections 601 and 602, 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
(8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to the Securities of that series pursuant to Section 301 or in a supplemental indenture.
27
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, other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6), then 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 amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders). If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6) occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series, shall automatically become due and payable. Upon any such acceleration the principal amount (or specified portion) of the Securities of that series shall become immediately due and payable.
Upon payment of such amount, all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of principal of the Securities of such series shall terminate.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
(A) all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of that series,
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates, if any, prescribed therefor in such Securities, and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and
(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which 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.
28
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 interest on any Security of any series when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at the Maturity thereof,
the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series, the whole amount then due and payable on Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates, if any, prescribed therefor in such Securities; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of 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, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
SECTION 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 shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal 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 of principal (or with respect to Original Issue Discount
29
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities), and premium, if any and interest 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 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of 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 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, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;
30
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and
THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.
SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless
(1) An Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities of that series and such Holder shall have previously given written notice thereof to the Trustee;
(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 satisfactory to it 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 Holder or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all Holders of Securities of such series.
31
SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall 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 in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
SECTION 512. Control by Holders.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that
(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,
32
(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction,
(3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, and
(4) such direction would not involve the Trustee in personal liability.

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 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, if any (subject to the provisions of Section 502), on any Security of such series, 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 the Securities of such series under this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 514. 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees at trial and on appeal, 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 Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).
33
SECTION 515. Waiver of 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 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.

38
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(d) If at any time the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series or, subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(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 a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to
39
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 in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company with respect to such series. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of the Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.
(g) 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 by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. 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 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all series of Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges due pursuant to Section 607, 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 to the lien provided in Section 607.
(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 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 series of 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
40
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 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.
SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).
SECTION 614. 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 and deliver Securities of such series with respect to which it has been so designated, and Securities so authenticated and delivered shall be entitled
41
to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustees 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.

The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee with respect to the Securities of each series (a) semi-annually, either (i) not later than June 30 and December 31 in each year in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities which by their terms bear interest only after Maturity, or (ii) not later than 15 days after each Regular Record Date in the case of Securities of any other series, if and so long as Securities of such series are Outstanding, and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of such request, a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require containing all the information in the possession or control of the Company, or any of its Paying Agents other than the Trustee, as to the names and addresses of the Holders obtained since the date as of which the next previous list, if any, was furnished; provided, however, that any such list may exclude names and addresses received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar if it shall be so acting. Any such list may be dated as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished or caused to be furnished and need not include information received after such date.

Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the indebtedness in respect of all Outstanding Securities of any series all sums then held by any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) in respect thereof shall, upon demand of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.
The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon Company Request any money or securities held by them at any time in excess of amounts necessary to satisfy amounts payable to the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent.

SECTION 1006. Statement as to Compliance.
The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers Certificate (which need not comply with Section 102), stating as to each signer thereof that
(1) a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under his supervision, and
(2) as of the end of such year and at the date of the Officers Certificate to the best of his knowledge, based on such review, (a) the Company is not in default in the fulfillment of any of its obligations under this Indenture, or specifying each such default known to him and the nature and status thereof and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is or after notice or lapse
55
of time or both would become an Event of Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event known to him and the nature and status thereof.
SECTION 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants.
The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 1002 to 1006, inclusive, with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee with respect to any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
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 a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice, but not less than 30 days, shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing 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.
56
SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.
If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by lot, pro rata or by such other method as the Trustee shall be 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. In any case where Securities of such series are registered in the same name, the Trustee in its discretion may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one Security of such series. If the Securities of any series to be redeemed consist of Securities having different Stated Maturities or different rates of interest (or methods of computing interest), then the Company may, by written notice to the Trustee, direct that the Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected from among groups of such Securities having specified Stated Maturities or rates of interest (or methods of computing interest) and the Trustee shall thereafter select the particular Securities to be redeemed in the manner set forth above from among the groups of such Securities so specified.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
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 by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the Redemption Date,
(2) the Redemption Price,
(3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed,
(4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,
57
(5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and
(6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Companys request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.
SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.
Prior to 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, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest, if any, on, all the Securities 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, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Security.
SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.
Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee 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 or an Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and 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.
58
ARTICLE TWELVE
SINKING FUNDS
SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.
To the extent that the provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of a series as specified pursuant to Section 301, the provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of such series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.
The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a mandatory sinking fund payment, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an optional sinking fund payment. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.
SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.
The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed (or called for redemption and for which the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, has been deposited pursuant to Section 1105), either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment 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 any series of Securities, 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 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. 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
59
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. The Company shall deposit the amount of cash, if any, required for such sinking fund payment in the manner provided in Section 1105. 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.
