and the trust may sell trust preferred securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the trust.

      This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

      The registration statement that contains this prospectus (including the exhibits to the registration statement) contains additional information about Visteon and the trust and the securities offered under this prospectus. That registration statement can be read at the SEC website or at the SEC offices mentioned under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

RISK FACTORS

      Before you invest, we urge you to consider carefully the risks and uncertainties we describe in our SEC filings incorporated by reference into this prospectus and in the applicable prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties so identified are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely affect us.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

      We file annual, quarterly and special reports and other information with the SEC. The registration statement and these other filings are available to you at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. You may read and copy any filed document at the SEC’s public reference rooms in Washington, D.C. at Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Judiciary Plaza, Washington, D.C. 20549, and at the SEC’s regional offices in New York at 233 Broadway, New York, New York 10279 and in Chicago at Suite 1400, Northwestern Atrium Center, 14th Floor, 500 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois 60661. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the public reference rooms. You also may inspect our SEC filings at the New York Stock Exchange, the exchange on which our common stock is listed, at 20 Broad Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10005.

      The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” information in documents that we file with them, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered part of this prospectus, and later information that we file with the SEC will automatically update and supersede the previously filed information. We incorporate by reference into this prospectus the documents listed below and any future filings made with the SEC under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 until we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus (SEC File No. 001-15827):

  •  our registration statement on Form 8-A filed June 2, 2000;
 
  •  our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001; and
 
  •  our current reports on Form 8-K dated and filed on January 8, 2002, January 18, 2002, February 19, 2002, March 11, 2002 and March 26, 2002.

      The trust has no separate financial statements. Separate financial statements would not be material to holders of the trust preferred securities because the trust has no independent operations.

      You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any accompanying prospectus supplement. No one has been authorized to provide you with different information. Our securities are not being offered in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.

Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek” and “estimate” signify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and conditions but rather are subject to risks and uncertainties. Some of these risks and uncertainties are and will be described in SEC filings incorporated by reference into this prospectus and in our prospectus supplements. Any risks and uncertainties which develop into actual events could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For these reasons, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

VISTEON CORPORATION

     General

      We are a leading global supplier of automotive systems, modules and components. We sell our products primarily to global vehicle manufacturers and also sell to the worldwide aftermarket for replacement and vehicle appearance enhancement parts. We operate in two business segments: Automotive Operations and Glass Operations.

      Ford Motor Company established our company as a wholly-owned subsidiary in January 2000 and subsequently transferred to us the assets and liabilities comprising Ford’s automotive components and systems business. We became independent from Ford on June 28, 2000.

      Our world headquarters are located in Dearborn, Michigan. We also maintain regional headquarters in Cologne, Germany, Yokahama, Japan and Sao Paulo, Brazil. We maintain technical facilities/sales offices and plants in 25 countries throughout the world.

      Our principal executive offices are located at 5500 Auto Club Drive, Dearborn, Michigan 48126, where our telephone number is (800) 847-8366.

     Automotive Operations

      We are a leading global supplier of automotive climate control, interior/exterior, energy transformation, chassis systems and telematics/multimedia systems modules and components. Products manufactured by us include:

  •  heating, ventilation and air conditioning components and systems;
 
  •  powertrain cooling components and systems;
 
  •  electrical conversion, fuel storage and delivery products (such as electronic engine controls, alternators, starters and fuel tanks);
 
  •  steering and chassis products;
 
  •  cockpit modules, seating, interior trim and lighting;
 
  •  bumpers;
 
  •  fascias; and
 
  •  in-vehicle entertainment, driver information, navigation, wireless communication and safety and security electronics.

     Glass Operations

      Our Glass Operations are composed of our vehicle glazing product group, which produces glass products for Ford and aftermarket customers, and our commercial glass product group, which produces float glass for commercial architecture.

     Customers

      We sell our products primarily to global vehicle manufacturers and we do business with the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers. Ford is our largest customer. In 2001, our sales to Ford accounted for about 82% of our total sales. Our top five customers other than Ford accounted for 7% of our total 2001 sales. Mazda Motor Corporation, of which Ford owns a 33.4% equity interest, is one of our top five non-Ford customers, accounting for 1% of our 2001 sales. In 2001, more than 75% of the new business we were awarded for delivery in future years was non-Ford business.

      In addition, we sell products for use as aftermarket and service parts to automotive original equipment manufacturers and others for resale through their own independent distribution networks. We sell products to

5


Table of Contents

the worldwide aftermarket as replacement parts or as customized products, such as body appearance packages and in-car entertainment systems, for current production and older vehicles. In 2001, our aftermarket sales were $898 million, representing 5% of our total sales. We currently sell 51% of these products to the independent aftermarket and 49% to Ford’s Automotive Consumer Service Group, the principal aftermarket sales organization of Ford. In 2001, aftermarket sales of our glass products were $177 million, representing less than 1% of our total sales and about 20% of our total aftermarket sales.

THE TRUST

      We formed Visteon Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust, to raise capital for us by:

  •  issuing trust preferred securities under this prospectus; and
 
  •  investing the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities in our junior subordinated notes.

      The trust will use the payments it receives on the junior subordinated notes to make cash payments to the holders of the trust preferred securities.

      We will own all of the common securities of the trust. The common securities will represent an aggregate liquidation amount equal to at least 3% of the trust’s total capitalization. The common securities will have terms substantially identical to, and generally will rank equal in priority of payment with, the trust preferred securities. If we default on the corresponding junior subordinated notes, then distributions on the common securities will be subordinate to the trust preferred securities in priority of payment.

      As holders of the common securities, we (except in certain circumstances) have the power to:

  •  appoint the trustees of the trust;
 
  •  replace or remove any of the trustees; and
 
  •  increase or decrease the number of trustees.

      The trustees we appoint will conduct the business and affairs of the trust. Prior to the issuance of any trust preferred securities, we will ensure that one trustee of the trust is a financial institution that will not be our affiliate and that will act as property trustee and indenture trustee for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Unless the property trustee maintains a principal place of business in the State of Delaware and meets the other requirements of applicable law, one trustee of the trust will have its principal place of business or reside in the State of Delaware.

      We will fully and unconditionally guarantee the trust preferred securities to the extent described under “Description of Guarantee.”

      The principal executive office of the trust is c/o Visteon Corporation, 5500 Auto Club Drive, Dearborn, Michigan 48126 and the telephone number is (800) 847-8366.

USE OF PROCEEDS

      We will use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes, except as we state otherwise in a prospectus supplement. If we intend to use the proceeds to repay outstanding debt, then we will provide details about the debt that is being repaid.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

      The ratio of our “earnings” to our “fixed charges” for each of the years 1997 through 2001 was:

                     
Year Ended December 31,

2001 2000 1999 1998 1997





  N/A (1)   2.8   7.6   11.8   8.5

      For purposes of the ratio, “earnings” means the sum of:

  •  our pre-tax income from continuing operations before adjustment for minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries or income or loss from equity investees,
 
  •  our fixed charges,
 
  •  amortization of capitalized interest and
 
  •  distributed income of equity investees,

      less: capitalized interest.

      “Fixed charges” means the sum of:

  •  the interest we paid on borrowed funds,
 
  •  the amount we amortized for debt discount, premium and issuance expense and
 
  •  one-third of all our rental expense (the proportion considered representative of the interest factor).


(1)  For the year ended December 31, 2001, fixed charges exceeded earnings by $183 million, resulting in a ratio of less than one.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

Description of Senior Notes

     General

      We describe in this section the general terms that will apply to a series of senior notes that we may offer by this prospectus. When we issue a particular series, we will describe in a prospectus supplement (i) the specific terms of the senior notes and (ii) any general terms described in this section that will not apply to the senior notes of that series.

      We expect to issue the senior notes under an indenture with Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, which we call the “senior indenture” and which is included as an exhibit to the registration statement. We have summarized particular provisions of the senior indenture and have included the relevant section numbers of the indenture in parentheses. Our discussion of the senior indenture is not complete; you should read the senior indenture for a more complete understanding of the provisions we describe. The senior indenture is governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

      The aggregate principal amount of notes that we may issue under the senior indenture is unlimited (section 2.01).

      The senior notes may be issued from time to time in one or more series. We will describe the specific terms of each series of senior notes in a prospectus supplement, including some or all of the following:

        (1) the designation of the senior notes;
 
        (2) the authorized denominations if other than $1,000 (or integrals of $1,000) for registered notes and if other than $5,000 for unregistered notes;
 
        (3) any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes;
 
        (4) the percentage of their principal amount at which the senior notes are issued, if less than 100%;

Table of Contents

        (5) the maturity date or dates of the senior notes, or the manner of determining the maturity date or dates;
 
        (6) the annual interest rate or rates, if any, which may be fixed or variable; and the manner of calculating any variable interest rate;
 
        (7) the date or dates from which interest, if any, will accrue (or the method of determining such date or dates), and the interest payment dates and their associated record dates;
 
        (8) whether we may redeem the senior notes and, if so, the redemption date or dates, redemption price or prices and other terms of redemption;
 
        (9) whether the senior notes will be convertible into or exchangeable for securities, and if so, the terms and conditions of the conversion or exchange;
 
        (10) any mandatory or optional sinking fund or analogous provisions;
 
        (11) provisions for the defeasance of the senior notes;
 
        (12) the form in which we will issue senior notes (registered or bearer), any restrictions on the exchange of one form for another and on the offer, sale and delivery of senior notes in either form;
 
        (13) whether and under what circumstances we will pay additional amounts on senior notes held by a person who is not a “United States person” (as defined in the prospectus supplement) in respect of specified taxes, assessments or other governmental charges withheld or deducted; and, if so, whether we have the option to redeem the affected notes rather than pay such additional amounts;
 
        (14) if other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies for which the senior notes may be purchased and the currency in which the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the senior notes is payable;
 
        (15) any exchanges on which the senior notes are to be listed;
 
        (16) whether the senior notes are to be issued in book-entry form and, if so, the identity of the depositary for the book-entry senior notes;
 
        (17) the place or places where the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the senior notes is payable;
 
        (18) if the amount of principal of and interest on the senior notes may be determined with reference to an index based on a currency other than that in which the senior notes are denominated, the manner of determining such amounts;
 
        (19) the portion of the principal amount (if other than the full principal amount) of the senior notes payable upon acceleration of their maturity date;
 
        (20) the form and terms of any certificates, documents or conditions required for the issuance of senior notes in definitive form;
 
        (21) any trustees, depositories, authenticating or paying agents, transfer agents, registrars or any other agents with respect to the senior notes if different than those described in this prospectus; and
 
        (22) any other specific terms of the senior notes, including any additional covenants and any terms that may be required or advisable under applicable laws or regulations (section 2.01).

      The senior notes will be unsecured and will rank equally and ratably with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt (other than obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of law).

      Unless we say otherwise in a prospectus supplement, you may present senior notes for transfer (unless issued in book-entry form) or payment at the office of the trustee, c/o Bank One, N.A., 55 Water Street, 1st Floor, Jeanette Park Entrance, New York, New York 10041, attention: Global Corporate Trust Services. We may, however, pay the interest on registered notes by mailing checks to the holders of those notes at the

8


Table of Contents

addresses listed in our register or, for holders of at least $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes, by wire transfer of immediately available funds (sections 4.01 and 4.02). We will not levy a service charge for any transfer or exchange of registered notes, but may require payment to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange (section 2.05).

      We may issue discounted notes, bearing no interest or interest at a rate that is below market at the time of issuance, which are sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount. When an event of default occurs with respect to discounted notes, the amount that the holders of those notes may declare to be immediately due and payable will be less than the principal amount (section 6.01).

     Book-Entry Senior Notes — Delivery and Form

      Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue the senior notes of a series in the form of one or more global notes, each of which will have an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes that it represents. Each global security will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee and, if in registered form, registered in the name of the depositary or the depositary’s nominee. Each depositary for a global security in registered form must be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other applicable statute or regulation (section 2.03). See “Book-Entry Issuance.”

     Covenants

      In this section we describe the principal covenants that will apply to the senior notes unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement. You should refer to the definitions of capitalized terms located at the end of this section when reviewing these covenants.

          Limitation on Liens

      Visteon will not, and will not permit any of its Manufacturing Subsidiaries to, issue or assume any Debt secured by a Mortgage upon any Domestic Manufacturing Property of Visteon or of any Manufacturing Subsidiary, or upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Manufacturing Subsidiary (whether that Domestic Manufacturing Property, those shares of stock or that indebtedness are then currently owned or later acquired) without providing at the same time that Visteon issues or assumes any such Debt that the senior notes (together with any other indebtedness of Visteon or the Manufacturing Subsidiary ranking equally with the notes then existing or later created) will be secured equally and ratably with such Debt.

      The foregoing restriction does not, however, apply if the aggregate amount of Debt that Visteon or any Manufacturing Subsidiary issues or assumes and so secures by Mortgages, together with (A) all other Debt of Visteon and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries which (if originally issued or assumed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, but not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (1) through (5) of the immediately following paragraph and not including Permitted Receivables Financings, and (B) all Attributable Debt of Visteon and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries in respect of sale and lease-back transactions, does not at the time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as shown on the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year.

      In addition, the covenant described in the first paragraph above does not apply to:

        (1) Mortgages on property, shares of stock or indebtedness of any entity existing at the time (a) that the entity becomes a Manufacturing Subsidiary or (b) of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties of the entity to Visteon or a Manufacturing Subsidiary;
 
        (2) Mortgages on property that exist at the time Visteon or a Manufacturing Subsidiary acquires the property; or Mortgages to secure (a) the payment of all or part of the purchase price of such property when Visteon or a Manufacturing Subsidiary acquires it, (b) any Debt incurred prior to, at the time of or within 180 days after the later of the date of acquisition of such property and the date such property is placed in service, for the purpose of financing all or any part of its purchase price, or (c) any Debt

Table of Contents

  incurred for the purpose of financing Visteon’s or a Manufacturing Subsidiary’s cost of improvements to such acquired property;
 
        (3) Mortgages securing a Manufacturing Subsidiary’s Debt to Visteon or to another Subsidiary;
 
        (4) Mortgages on property of Visteon or a Manufacturing Subsidiary in favor of:

        (a) the United States of America or any state,
 
        (b) any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any state, or
 
        (c) any other country, or any political subdivision of any other country, in connection with financing arrangements between Visteon or a Manufacturing Subsidiary and any of the foregoing governmental bodies or agencies, to the extent that Mortgages are required by the governmental programs under which those financing arrangements are made, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments under any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such Mortgages;

        (5) Any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) to (4), as long as (a) the principal amount of Debt secured by any such Mortgage does not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement and (b) the extension, renewal or replacement is limited to all or a part of the property (including improvements) that secured the Mortgage being extended, renewed or replaced (section 4.06).

          Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Arrangements

      Visteon will not, and will not permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person in which Visteon or a Manufacturing Subsidiary leases from such person any Domestic Manufacturing Property that (a) Visteon or the Manufacturing Subsidiary owns on the date that the senior notes are originally issued and (b) Visteon or the Manufacturing Subsidiary has sold or will sell to such person (except for temporary leases having a maximum term of three years and except for leases between Visteon and a Manufacturing Subsidiary or between Manufacturing Subsidiaries), unless either:

        (1) Visteon or the Manufacturing Subsidiary could, under the covenant on limitation on liens described above, issue, assume, extend, renew or replace Debt secured by a Mortgage on the Domestic Manufacturing Property equal in amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of such sale and lease-back arrangement without equally and ratably securing the senior notes; however, on and after the date that the sale and lease-back arrangement becomes effective, the Attributable Debt in respect of the sale and lease-back arrangement would be deemed for all purposes under the covenant on limitation on liens described above and the covenant on limitation on sale and lease-back arrangements to be Debt subject to the provisions of the covenant on limitation on liens described above (which provisions include the exceptions set forth in clauses (1) through (5) of the description of such covenant), or
 
        (2) Within 180 days of the effective date of the sale and lease-back arrangement, Visteon applies a cash amount equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of the arrangement to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement or payment at maturity) of Debt of Visteon or any Manufacturing Subsidiary (other than Debt owned by Visteon or any Manufacturing Subsidiary) that by its terms matures at, or is extendible or renewable at the borrower’s option to, a date more than twelve months after the date of the creation of such Debt (section 4.07).

          Limitation on Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance

      Visteon will not merge or consolidate with any other entity, and will not sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any person or entity, unless:

        (1) Either Visteon is the surviving corporation or, if not, the successor entity is organized under the laws of the United States or any state and expressly assumes, by executing a supplemental indenture, (a) the obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, interest, if any, and any other additional amounts, on all the notes and any coupons and (b) the performance of all of Visteon’s covenants and the satisfaction of all the conditions to be satisfied by Visteon under the senior indenture;
 
        (2) Immediately after the merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance is effective, no event of default under the senior indenture will have occurred or be continuing; and
 
        (3) Visteon delivers to the trustee under the senior indenture a certificate and legal opinion each stating that the merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance, any supplemental indenture, and any assumption by the successor entity of Visteon’s obligations described above, complies with the requirements set forth in article eleven of the senior indenture regarding Visteon’s ability to carry out a merger, consolidation, sale or conveyance of assets (section 11.01).

        (1) evidence the assumption by a successor corporation of our obligations,
 
        (2) add covenants for the protection of the holders of the senior notes,
 
        (3) add or change any of the provisions of the senior indenture to permit or facilitate the issuance of senior notes in bearer form and to provide for the exchange of notes in bearer form with registered notes,
 
        (4) cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistency in the senior indenture or in a supplemental indenture,
 
        (5) transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the senior indenture trustee,

      We may enter into a supplemental indenture to modify the senior indenture, any supplemental indenture or the rights of senior note holders with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the senior notes of all series at the time outstanding that are affected by that modification (voting as one class), if the modification does not:

  (1)  change the fixed maturity of any senior notes,
 
  (2)  reduce their principal amount or premium, if any,
 
  (3)  reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or any additional amounts payable on the senior notes,
 
  (4)  reduce the amount due and payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the senior notes or the amount provable in bankruptcy,
 
  (5)  make the principal of, or any interest, premium or additional amounts on, any senior notes payable in a coin or currency different from that provided in the senior notes,
 
  (6)  impair the right to initiate suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the stated maturity of the senior notes, or
 
  (7)  reduce the requirement for the consent of the holders of the senior notes to any modification described above, or the percentage required for the consent of the holders to waive defaults, without the consent of the holder of each senior note so affected (section 10.02).

     Events of Default

      An event of default with respect to any series of senior notes is defined in the senior indenture as:

        (1) default for five business days after notice in payment of any principal or premium, if any, on the series;
 
        (2) default for 30 days after notice in payment of any interest or additional amounts due with respect to the series;
 
        (3) default for 90 days after notice in performance of any other covenant or agreement applicable to the senior notes or contained in the senior indenture;

13


Table of Contents

        (4) default by Visteon or any Significant Subsidiary in any payment of $25,000,000 or more of principal of or interest on any Debt or in the payment of $25,000,000 or more on account of any guarantee in respect of Debt, beyond any period of grace that may be provided in the instrument or agreement under which such Debt or guarantee was created (for these purposes, the term “Significant Subsidiary” is defined as any Subsidiary of Visteon that, at any time, has at least 5% of the consolidated revenues of Visteon and its Subsidiaries at such time as reflected in the most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements of Visteon, and the term “Subsidiary” is defined as in our description of the covenants under the senior indenture); or
 
        (5) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization (section 6.01).

      If an event of default under clause (1), (2), (3) or (4) above occurs with respect to any series, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all senior notes then outstanding affected by the event of default may declare the principal (or, in the case of discounted notes, the amount specified in their terms) of all senior notes of the affected series to be due and payable (section 6.01).

      If an event of default under clause (5) above occurs, the senior indenture trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the senior notes then outstanding (voting as one class) may declare the principal (or, in the case of discounted notes, the amount specified in their terms) of all outstanding senior notes not already due and payable to be due and payable (section 6.01).

      If the principal amount of senior notes has been declared due and payable, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding senior notes of the applicable series (or of all the outstanding senior notes) may waive any event of default with respect to that series (or with respect to all outstanding senior notes) if:

  •  we deposit with the senior indenture trustee all required payments on the notes, plus certain fees, expenses, disbursements and advances of the trustee; and
 
  •  all defaults under the senior indenture have been remedied (section 6.01).

      The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of a particular series may also waive any default with respect to that series, except a default:

  •  in the payment of principal of, or any premium, interest or additional amounts on, any senior notes of that series or
 
  •  in respect of a covenant or provision in the senior indenture that may not be modified without the consent of the holders of each outstanding senior note that would be affected by the modification (section 6.06).

      The senior indenture trustee may withhold notice of any default to the noteholders (except for default in the payment of principal or any premium, interest or additional amounts) if it considers it in the interests of the senior noteholders to do so (section 6.07).

      Subject to the provisions of the senior indenture relating to the duties of the senior indenture trustee when an event of default occurs, the senior indenture trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the senior indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the senior noteholders, unless those senior noteholders have offered to the senior indenture trustee reasonable indemnity (sections 7.01 and 7.02).

      Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the senior indenture trustee and to certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the senior notes of all series affected by the occurrence of an event of default (voting as one class) at the time outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the senior indenture trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the senior indenture trustee (section 6.06).

     Concerning the Senior Indenture Trustee

      Bank One Trust Company, N.A. is the trustee under the senior indenture. Bank One, N.A., an affiliate of the trustee, also acts as depositary for funds of, makes loans to and performs certain other services for us in the normal course of its business. We have initially appointed the senior indenture trustee, acting through its corporate trust office in Chicago, as paying agent for the senior notes.

Description of Subordinated Notes

     General

      We describe in this section the general terms that will apply to any particular series of subordinated notes that we may offer by this prospectus. When we issue a particular series, we will describe in a prospectus supplement (i) the specific terms of the subordinated notes and (ii) any general terms described in this section that will not apply to subordinated notes of that series.

      The subordinated notes will be issued under an indenture with Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, which we call the “subordinated indenture.” The subordinated indenture will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. The form of subordinated indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement. The provisions of the subordinated indenture are substantially identical in substance to the provisions of the senior indenture, except for the subordination provisions described below, for which there are no counterparts in the senior indenture. See “Description of Notes—Description of Senior Notes.”

      We have summarized particular provisions of the subordinated indenture and the subordinated notes and have included the relevant section numbers of the subordinated indenture in parentheses. Our discussion of the subordinated indenture is not complete; you should read the form of subordinated indenture for a more complete understanding of the provisions we describe.

     Subordination

      Subordinated notes will be subordinate and subject in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the subordinated indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined below) (section 13.01).

      If we make payments to our creditors as a result of:

  •  a liquidation;
 
  •  a dissolution;
 
  •  winding up;
 
  •  a reorganization;
 
  •  an assignment for the benefit of creditors;
 
  •  marshaling of assets and liabilities; or
 
  •  any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving us,

then the holders of Senior Indebtedness will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all obligations due on or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness before the holders of subordinated notes are entitled to receive any payment or distribution (“Securities Payments”) (section 13.02).

      Until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, any Securities Payment to which the holders of subordinated notes would be entitled will be paid or delivered by us, or by any other person making the payment or distribution, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness for application to all of the Senior Indebtedness then due (section 13.03).

15


Table of Contents

      We may not make any payments on the account of the subordinated notes, or on account of the purchase or redemption or other acquisition of the subordinated notes, if there has occurred and is continuing a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness.

      In the event that the subordinated indenture trustee receives any Securities Payment prohibited by the subordination provisions of the subordinated indenture, the payment will be held by the subordinated indenture trustee in trust for the benefit of, and will immediately be paid over to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or the trustee or trustees under any applicable indenture, for application to the payment of Senior Indebtedness (sections 13.02 and 13.03).

      For purposes of the foregoing, “Securities Payments” will be deemed not to include a payment or distribution of stock or securities provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment authorized by an order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in a reorganization proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law which stock or securities are subordinated in right of payment to all then outstanding Senior Indebtedness to at least the same extent as the subordinated notes (section 13.02).

      By reason of the subordination of the subordinated notes, in the event of our insolvency holders of Senior Indebtedness may receive more, ratably, and holders of the subordinated notes having a claim pursuant to such securities may receive less, ratably, than our other creditors. There may also be interruption of scheduled interest and principal payments resulting from events of default on Senior Indebtedness.

     Definition of “Senior Indebtedness”

      Set forth below is a summary of the definition of “Senior Indebtedness” as used in the subordinated indenture. Please refer to the subordinated indenture for full definitions of all defined term in the subordinated indenture.

      “Senior Indebtedness” includes all of our obligations, as amended or renewed, to pay principal, premium, interest, penalties, fees and other charges:

  •  for borrowed money;
 
  •  in the form of notes, debentures, bonds or similar instruments, including obligations incurred in connection with our purchase of property, assets or businesses;
 
  •  under capital leases;
 
  •  under letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or similar facilities;
 
  •  issued or assumed in the form of a deferred purchase price of property or services, such as master leases;
 
  •  under swaps and other hedging arrangements;
 
  •  pursuant to our guarantee of the obligations listed above of another entity; and
 
  •  to satisfy the expenses and fees of the subordinated indenture trustee under the subordinated indenture (section 1.01).

      Senior Indebtedness shall not include:

  •  indebtedness for money borrowed of Visteon to any of its subsidiaries or certain other affiliates;
 
  •  indebtedness which, by its terms, expressly provides that it does not rank senior to the subordinated debt securities;
 
  •  indebtedness incurred in the form of trade accounts payable or accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business;
 
  •  indebtedness we may incur in violation of the subordinated indenture (section 1.01).

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

      In this section we describe the general terms that will apply to preferred stock that we may offer by this prospectus in the future. When we issue a particular series, we will describe the specific terms of the series of preferred stock in a prospectus supplement. The specific terms of any series of preferred stock may differ from the following terms. The description of preferred stock below and in the prospectus supplement are qualified in their entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and any applicable amendments which are filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement.

      Under our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to issue preferred stock in one or more series, each with such voting powers (full, limited or none), designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as they may fix or designate without any further vote or action by our stockholders.

      We will describe the specific terms of a series of preferred stock in a prospectus supplement, including some or all of the following:

        (1) the maximum number of shares of the series and their designations;
 
        (2) any annual dividend rate;
 
        (3) any dates that dividends begin to accrue or accumulate;
 
        (4) whether the dividends will be cumulative, and any dividend preference;
 
        (5) the price, terms and conditions of any redemption;
 
        (6) any liquidation preference;
 
        (7) whether the shares will be subject to, and the terms and provisions of, a retirement or sinking fund;
 
        (8) any terms and conditions for conversion or exchange of the shares into or for shares of any other class of Visteon securities;
 
        (9) any voting rights;
 
        (10) whether fractional interests will be offered in the form of depositary shares; and
 
        (11) any or all other preferences or other rights or restrictions of the shares of the series.

      Any prospectus supplement that specifies the terms of preferred stock also will describe any restriction on our repurchase or redemption of shares while there is any arrearage in the payment of dividends or, if applicable, sinking fund installments.

      Under Delaware corporation law, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock may vote together as a single class to approve any amendment to our certificate of incorporation that would increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of preferred stock or the par value of the preferred stock, or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the preferred stock so as to affect them adversely. If the proposed amendment will change the powers, preferences or special rights of one or more series of shares of preferred stock, but will not impact all outstanding shares of preferred stock, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock of the series which will be affected may vote together as a single class to approve the amendment.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

      A description of our common stock is included in the registration statement on Form 8-A filed June 2, 2000, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You may obtain the text of that registration statement as described under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

      We describe in this section the general terms of the depositary shares. We will describe the specific terms of the depositary shares in a prospectus supplement. The following description of the material terms of the deposit agreement, the depositary shares and the depositary receipts is only a summary and you should refer to the forms of the deposit agreement and depositary receipts that will be filed with the SEC in connection with any particular offering of depositary shares.

General

      We may offer fractional interests in preferred stock, rather than full shares of preferred stock. In that case, we will provide for the issuance by a depositary to investors of receipts for depositary shares, each representing a fractional interest in a share of a particular series of preferred stock.

      The shares of any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and the depositary, which must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the name and address of the depositary. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will have a fractional interest in all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock underlying such depositary share. Those rights include any dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights.

      The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued under the deposit agreement. If you purchase fractional interests in shares of the related series of preferred stock, you will receive depositary receipts as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. While the final depositary receipts are being prepared, we may order the depositary to issue temporary depositary receipts substantially identical to the final depositary receipts although not in final form. The holders of the temporary depositary receipts will be entitled to the same rights as if they held the depositary receipts in final form. Holders of the temporary depositary receipts can exchange them for the final depositary receipts at our expense.

Withdrawal

      Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement and unless the related depositary shares have been called for redemption, if you surrender depositary receipts at the principal office of the depositary, then you are entitled to receive at that office the number of shares of preferred stock and any money or other property represented by the depositary shares. We will not issue partial shares of preferred stock. If you deliver depositary receipts evidencing a number of depositary shares that represent more than a whole number of shares of preferred stock, the depositary will issue to you a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares at the same time that the preferred stock is withdrawn. Holders of shares of preferred stock received in exchange for depositary shares will no longer be entitled to deposit those shares under the deposit agreement or to receive depositary shares in exchange for those shares of preferred stock.

Dividends and Other Distributions

      The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received with respect to the preferred stock to the record holders of depositary shares representing the preferred stock in proportion to the numbers of depositary shares owned by the holders on the relevant record date. The depositary will distribute only the amount that can be distributed without attributing to any holder of depositary shares a fraction of one cent. The balance not distributed will be added to and treated as part of the next sum received by the depositary for distribution to record holders of depositary shares.

      If there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property to the holders of depositary shares, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make such distribution. If this occurs, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders of depositary shares.

18


Table of Contents

Conversion, Exchange and Redemption

      Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, neither the depositary shares nor the series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be convertible or exchangeable into any other class or series of our capital stock.

      If the series of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is subject to redemption, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the redemption proceeds, in whole or in part, of the series of the preferred stock held by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will bear the same relationship to the redemption price per share of preferred stock that the depositary share bears to the underlying preferred stock. Whenever we redeem preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem, as of the same redemption date, the number of depositary shares representing the preferred stock redeemed. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata as determined by the depositary.

Voting

      Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail information about the meeting contained in the notice to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to the preferred stock. Each record holder of the depositary shares on the record date (which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock) will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to how the preferred stock underlying the holder’s depositary shares should be voted.

      The depositary will try, if practical, to vote the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares according to the instructions received. We will agree to take all action requested by and deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to vote the preferred stock in that manner. The depositary will not vote any preferred stock for which it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of the depositary shares relating to the preferred stock.

Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement

      We may amend the form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement by agreement with the depositary at any time. Any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the existing holders of depositary shares will not be effective, however, unless approved by the record holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. A deposit agreement may be terminated by us or the depositary only if:

  •  all outstanding depositary shares relating to the deposit agreement have been redeemed or converted into or exchanged for other securities; or
 
  •  there has been a final distribution on the underlying preferred stock in connection with our liquidation, dissolution or winding up and the distribution has been made to the holders of the related depositary shares.

Charges of Depositary

      We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay charges of the depositary in connection with its duties under the deposit agreement. Holders of depositary shares will pay transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and any other charges that are stated to be their responsibility in the deposit agreement.

Miscellaneous

      The depositary will forward to the holders of depositary shares all reports and communications that we must furnish to the holders of the preferred stock.

      Neither we nor the depositary will be liable if either of us is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond our control in performing our respective obligations under the deposit agreement. Our

obligations and the depositary’s obligations under the deposit agreement will be limited to performance in good faith of duties set forth in the deposit agreement. Neither we nor the depositary will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding connected with any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished. We and the depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or information provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, holders of depositary shares or other persons believed to be competent and on documents believed to be genuine.

Resignation and Removal of Depositary

      The depositary may resign at any time by delivering notice to us. We may also remove the depositary at any time. Resignations or removals will take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary and its acceptance of the appointment. The successor depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

      In this section we describe the general terms of warrants that we may offer. We may offer warrants for the purchase of senior notes, subordinated notes, preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock.

      We may issue warrants alone or together with other warrants or securities, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from those securities. The warrants will be issued under warrant agreements to be entered into between us and one or more banks or trust companies, as warrant agents, as will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants being offered. The warrant agents will act solely as our agents in connection with the issuance and exercise of warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holder of a warrant certificate or any owner of a beneficial interest in warrants. We will issue each series of warrants under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. You should refer to the form of warrant agreement that will be filed with the SEC in connection with any particular offering of warrants.

      When we issue warrants, we will describe in a prospectus supplement:

        (1) the aggregate amount of the warrants;
 
        (2) the initial offering price of the warrants;
 
        (3) the currencies in which the warrants are being offered;
 
        (4) the designation, total number and terms of the securities that can be purchased upon exercise or that are underlying the securities that can be purchased upon exercise;
 
        (5) whether the warrants are issued with a related security and, if applicable, the designation and terms of such related security and the number of warrants issued with such related security;
 
        (6) the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related security will be separately transferable;
 
        (7) the principal amount in the case of senior or subordinated notes, or the number of shares, in the case of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, that can be purchased if a holder exercises a warrant and the price at which and currencies in which such related security may be purchased upon exercise;
 
        (8) the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which this right expires;
 
        (9) the procedures for exercise and exchange of the warrants;
 
        (10) whether the warrants will be issued in registered or bearer form, and, if registered, where they may be transferred and registered;
 
        (11) information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;

20


Table of Contents

        (12) any material United States federal income tax, accounting or other considerations that apply to the warrants;
 
        (13) the procedures for amending the warrants; and
 
        (14) any other terms of the warrants.

      Until a warrant is exercised, the holder of the warrant will not have any of the rights of holders of the underlying securities.

DESCRIPTION OF STOCK PURCHASE CONTRACTS
AND STOCK PURCHASE UNITS

      The following is a general description of the terms of the stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units we may issue from time to time. The specific terms of any stock purchase contracts or stock purchase units that we may offer will be described in a prospectus supplement.

      We may issue stock purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and obligating us to sell to holders, a specified number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares at a future date. The consideration per share of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares may be fixed at the time that the stock purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the stock purchase contracts. Any stock purchase contract may include anti-dilution provisions to adjust the number of shares issuable pursuant to such stock purchase contract upon the occurrence of certain events.

      The stock purchase contracts may be issued separately or as a part of units (“stock purchase units”), consisting of a stock purchase contract and notes, trust preferred securities or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities, in each case securing holders’ obligations to purchase common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares under the stock purchase contracts. The stock purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to holders of the stock purchase units, or vice versa, and such payments may be unsecured or prefunded. The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations thereunder in a specified manner.

DESCRIPTION OF TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

      We describe in this section the general terms of the trust preferred securities that the trust may offer by this prospectus. We will describe in a prospectus supplement (i) the specific terms of the trust preferred securities and (ii) any general terms described in this section that will not apply to those trust preferred securities.

      The trust preferred securities will be issued under a trust agreement that will be amended and restated in its entirety before the trust issues trust preferred securities. The trust agreement will be qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. Forms of an amended and restated trust agreement and trust preferred security certificate have been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement. We have summarized particular provisions of the trust agreement. Our discussion of the trust agreement is not complete; you should read the form of trust agreement and the form of trust preferred security certificate for a more complete understanding of the provisions we describe.

      The trust agreement of the trust authorizes the administrative trustees to issue on behalf of the trust one series of trust preferred securities and one series of common securities containing the terms described in a prospectus supplement. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities and common securities will be used by the trust to purchase a series of our junior subordinated notes, issued under our subordinated indenture. The terms of the trust preferred securities will substantially mirror the terms of the junior subordinated notes. The junior subordinated notes will be held in trust by Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as property trustee, for your benefit and for the benefit of the holder of the common securities.

21


Table of Contents

      We will describe the specific terms relating to the trust preferred securities in the applicable prospectus supplement, including:

  •  the name of the trust preferred securities;
 
  •  the dollar amount and number of trust preferred securities issued;
 
  •  the annual distribution rate(s) (or method of determining such rate(s)), the payment date(s), the right, if any, of the trust to defer or extend a payment date and the record dates used to determine the holders who are to receive distributions;
 
  •  whether distributions on trust preferred securities will be cumulative, and if so, the date from which distributions will be cumulative;
 
  •  the obligation or the option of the trust to purchase or redeem trust preferred securities, if any, including the prices, time periods and other terms and conditions for which the trust preferred securities shall be purchased or redeemed;
 
  •  the terms and conditions, if any, upon which the junior subordinated notes may be distributed to you by the trust;
 
  •  whether the trust preferred securities will be convertible or exchangeable into common stock or other securities, and if so, the terms and conditions upon which the conversion or exchange will be effected;
 
  •  the voting rights, if any, of the trust preferred securities in addition to those required by law;
 
  •  the amount which will be paid out of the assets of the trust after the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the trust, if any, to the holders of trust preferred securities upon voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the trust;
 
  •  any securities exchange on which the trust preferred securities may be listed;
 
  •  whether the trust preferred securities are to be issued in book-entry form and represented by one or more global certificates, and if so, the depositary for the global certificates and the specific terms of the depositary arrangements; and
 
  •  any other relevant rights, preferences, privileges, limitations or restrictions of the trust preferred securities.

      The prospectus supplement will also describe certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the offering of trust preferred securities.

      We will guarantee all trust preferred securities offered hereby to the extent set forth below under “Description of Guarantee.”

      In connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities, the trust will issue one series of common securities having terms substantially identical to the terms of the trust preferred securities issued by the trust. The common securities will rank equal with, and payments will be made thereon pro rata, with the trust preferred securities except that, upon an event of default under the trust agreement, the rights of the holders of the common securities to payment in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise will be subordinated to the rights of the holders of the trust preferred securities. Except in certain limited circumstances, the common securities will carry the right to vote to appoint, remove or replace any of the trustees of the trust. Directly or indirectly, we will own all of the common securities of the trust.

DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEE

General

      We will execute a guarantee, for your benefit at the same time that the trust issues the trust preferred securities. Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as the guarantee trustee, will hold the guarantee for your benefit.

22


Table of Contents

      The guarantee will be qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. The form of guarantee has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement.

      This section summarizes the material terms and provisions of the guarantee. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the details found in the full text of the guarantee. For additional information, read the form of guarantee. Capitalized terms used but not defined under “Description of Guarantee” have the meanings given to them in the guarantee.

      We will irrevocably agree to pay to you in full the Guarantee Payments (as defined below) as and when due, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim which the trust may have or assert other than the defense of payment. The following payments will be subject to the guarantee, only to the extent that (1) they are not paid by the trust and (2) the trust has funds available to make the payments (“Guarantee Payments”):

  •  any accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the trust preferred securities;
 
  •  the redemption price and all accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption with respect to trust preferred securities called for redemption; or
 
  •  upon a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the trust (other than in connection with a distribution of corresponding junior subordinated notes to you or the redemption of all the related trust preferred securities), the lesser of:

        (a) the aggregate of the liquidation amount specified in the prospectus supplement for each trust preferred security plus all accrued and unpaid distributions on the trust preferred securities to the date of payment; and
 
        (b) the amount of assets of the trust remaining available for distribution to you.

Status of Guarantee

      The guarantee will constitute our unsecured obligation and will rank:

  •  equally with our most senior preferred stock issued after the date of this prospectus and with any guarantee entered into by us in respect of any preferred stock of any of our affiliates;
 
  •  subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of our other liabilities; and
 
  •  senior to our common stock.

      The guarantee will constitute a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Accordingly, you may sue us or pursue other remedies to enforce your rights under the guarantee, without first suing any other person or entity.

Amendments and Assignment

      Except with respect to any changes which do not adversely affect your rights in any material respect (in which case your consent will not be required), the guarantee may only be amended with the prior approval of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the outstanding trust preferred securities.

Events of Default

      An event of default under the guarantee occurs if we fail to make any of our required payments or perform our obligations under the guarantee.

      The holders of at least a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the trust preferred securities will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the guarantee trustee relating to the guarantee or to direct the exercise of any trust or power given to the guarantee trustee under the guarantee.

23


Table of Contents

      You may institute a legal proceeding directly against us to enforce your rights under the guarantee without first instituting a legal proceeding against the trust, the guarantee trustee or any other person or entity.

      We, as guarantor, will be required to file annually with the guarantee trustee a certificate as to whether or not we are in compliance with all the conditions and covenants applicable to us under the guarantee.

Information Concerning the Guarantee Trustee

      The guarantee trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default in the performance of the guarantee, will only perform the duties that are specifically described in the guarantee. After an event of default with respect to the guarantee, the guarantee trustee will exercise the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the guarantee trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its powers as described in the guarantee at your request unless it is offered reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

Termination of the Guarantee

      The guarantee will terminate once the trust preferred securities are paid in full or upon distribution of the corresponding series of junior subordinated notes to you. The guarantee will continue to be effective or will be reinstated if at any time you are required to restore payment of any sums paid under the trust preferred securities or the guarantee.

Governing Law

      The guarantee will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

BOOK-ENTRY ISSUANCE

      The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), will act as securities depositary for the trust preferred securities, warrants, senior notes, the subordinated notes and the junior subordinated notes, unless otherwise referred to in the prospectus supplement relating to an offering of these securities. These securities will be issued only as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s nominee). One or more fully-registered global certificates may be issued for the securities, representing in the aggregate the total number or aggregate principal balance of securities, as applicable, respectively, and will be deposited with DTC.

      DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. “Direct Participants” include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc. and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain custodial relationships with Direct Participants, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the SEC.

      Purchases of securities within the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of a security within the DTC system (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases,

24


Table of Contents

but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participants through which the Beneficial Owners purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued.

      DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of securities within the DTC system; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

      Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to beneficial owners and the voting rights of Direct Participants, Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

      Redemption notices will be sent to Cede & Co. as the registered holder of securities within the DTC system. If less than all of the applicable securities are being redeemed, DTC’s current practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant to be redeemed.

      Distribution payments on the securities will be made by the relevant trustee to DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts on the relevant payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payments on the payment date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the relevant trustee, the trust or Visteon, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of distributions to DTC is the responsibility of the relevant trustee, disbursement of the payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursements of the payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

      DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary at any time by giving reasonable notice to the relevant trustee and Visteon. In the event that a successor securities depositary is not obtained, definitive certificates representing the affected securities are required to be printed and delivered. Visteon, at its option, may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor depositary).

      The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Visteon believes to be accurate, but Visteon assumes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. Visteon has no responsibility for the performance by DTC or its Participants of their respective obligations as described herein or under the rules and procedures governing their respective operations.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Initial Offering and Sale of Securities

      Visteon may sell its notes, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts or stock purchase units, and the trust may sell trust preferred securities, periodically as follows:

  •  through agents;
 
  •  to dealers or underwriters for resale;
 
  •  directly to purchasers; or
 
  •  through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

25


Table of Contents

      In addition, Visteon may issue its securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to its existing security holders. In some cases, Visteon or the trust, or dealers acting with or on behalf of Visteon or the trust, may also purchase securities and reoffer them to the public by one or more of the methods described above. This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of these securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

      The securities distributed by any of these methods may be sold to the public, in one or more transactions, either:

  •  at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
 
  •  at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
 
  •  at prices related to prevailing market prices; or
 
  •  at negotiated prices.

      Visteon or the trust may solicit offers to purchase securities directly from the public from time to time. As one means of direct issuance of securities, Visteon or the trust may utilize the services of any available electronic auction system to conduct an electronic “dutch auction” of the offered securities among potential purchasers who are eligible to participate in the auction of those offered securities if so disclosed in the prospectus supplement.

      Visteon or the trust may also designate agents from time to time to solicit offers to purchase securities from the public. The prospectus supplement relating to any particular offering of securities will name any agents designated to solicit offers and will include information about any commissions that Visteon or the trust may pay the agents, in that offering. Agents may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

      From time to time, Visteon or the trust may sell securities to one or more dealers acting as principals. The dealers, who may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined in the Securities Act, may then resell those securities to the public.

      Visteon or the trust may sell securities from time to time to one or more underwriters, who would purchase the securities as principal for resale to the public, either on a firm-commitment or best-efforts basis. If Visteon or the trust sells securities to underwriters, then it may execute an underwriting agreement with them at the time of sale and will name them in the applicable prospectus supplement. In connection with those sales, underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from Visteon or the trust in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters may resell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from purchasers for whom they may act as agents. The applicable prospectus supplement will include any required information about underwriting compensation that Visteon or the trust may pay to underwriters, and any discounts, concessions or commissions that underwriters may allow to participating dealers, in connection with an offering of securities.

      If Visteon offers securities in a subscription rights offering to its existing security holders, then it may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with dealers acting as standby underwriters. Visteon may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities that they commit to purchase on a standby basis. If Visteon does not enter into a standby underwriting arrangement, then it may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for it.

      Visteon or the trust may authorize underwriters, dealers and agents to solicit from third parties offers to purchase securities under contracts providing for payment and delivery on future dates. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the material terms of these contracts, including any conditions to the purchasers’ obligations, and will include any required information about commissions that Visteon or the trust may pay for soliciting the contracts.

26


Table of Contents

      Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled, under agreements that they may enter into with Visteon or the trust, to indemnification by Visteon or the trust against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

      In connection with an offering of securities, the underwriters may purchase and sell the offered securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater amount of the offered securities than they are required to purchase in the offering from Visteon or the trust, as the case may be. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional offered securities in the offering from Visteon or the trust. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional securities or by purchasing securities in the open market. In determining the source of securities to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the overallotment option. “Naked” short sales are any sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of securities made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

      The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

      Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of Visteon’s securities and, together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. These activities, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

      The underwriters, dealers and agents, as well as their associates, may be customers of or lenders to, and may engage in transactions with and perform services for, Visteon and its subsidiaries, including the trust, in the ordinary course of business.

      Underwriters are required to conduct any offering of trust preferred securities in accordance with Conduct Rule 2810 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Matters Relating to Initial Offering and Market-Making Resales

      Each series of securities will be a new issue, and there will be no established trading market for any security prior to its original issue date. Visteon or the trust may not list any particular series of securities on a securities exchange or quotation system. Any underwriter may make a market in the securities. No underwriter that makes a market is obligated to do so, however, and any of them may stop doing so at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity or trading market for any of the securities.

      Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement or confirmation of sale, the purchase price of the securities will be required to be paid in immediately available funds in New York City.

      In this prospectus, “offering” means the initial offering of securities made in connection with their original issuance and excludes any subsequent resales of securities in market-making transactions.

Item 15.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers

General Corporation Law

      Visteon Corporation is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (“Section 145”), provides, among other things, that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was is or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and provided further that no such indemnity is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer, director, employee or agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.

      Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him or her under Section 145.

Item 17.     Undertakings

      (a) Rule 415 Offering. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

        (i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
        (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
        (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

  provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into the registration statement;

        (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
 
        (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

      (b) Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference. The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      (c) Request for Acceleration of Effective Date. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions discussed in Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification

Table of Contents

against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                             UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

                                                           ______________, 200__


[LEAD UNDERWRITER TO BE INSERTED]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         From time to time Visteon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), proposes to enter into one or more Pricing Agreements (each a
"Pricing Agreement") in the form of Annex I hereto, with such additions and
deletions as the parties thereto may determine, and, subject to the terms and
conditions stated herein and therein, to issue and sell to the firms named in
Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement (such firms constituting the
"Underwriters" with respect to such Pricing Agreement and the securities
specified therein) certain of its debt securities (the "Securities") specified
in Schedule II to such Pricing Agreement (with respect to such Pricing
Agreement, the "Designated Securities"). The Securities may be convertible into
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the
"Conversion Shares") to the extent set forth in the applicable Pricing
Agreement.

         The terms and rights of any particular issuance of Designated
Securities shall be as specified in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto and
in or pursuant to the indenture (the "Indenture") identified in such Pricing
Agreement.

         1.Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to
time to the Underwriters of such Securities, for whom the firms designated as
representatives of the Underwriters of such Securities in the Pricing Agreement
relating thereto will act as representatives (the "Representatives"). The term
"Representatives" also refers to a single firm acting as sole representative of
the Underwriters and to an Underwriter or Underwriters who act without any firm
being designated as its or their representatives. This Underwriting Agreement
shall not be construed as an obligation of the Company to sell any of the
Securities or as an obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase the
Securities. The obligation of the Company to issue and sell any of the
Securities and the obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase any of the
Securities shall be evidenced by the Pricing Agreement with respect to the
Designated Securities specified therein. Each Pricing Agreement shall specify
the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities, the initial public
offering price of such Designated Securities, the purchase price to the
Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the names of the Underwriters of
such Designated Securities, the names of the Representatives of such
Underwriters and the principal amount of such Designated Securities to be
purchased by each





Underwriter and shall set forth the date, time and manner of delivery of such
Designated Securities and payment therefor. The Pricing Agreement shall also
specify (to the extent not set forth in the Indenture and the registration
statement and prospectus with respect thereto) the terms of such Designated
Securities. A Pricing Agreement shall be in the form of an executed writing
(which may be in counterparts), and may be evidenced by an exchange of 2
telegraphic communications or any other rapid transmission device designed to
produce a written record of communications transmitted. The obligations of the
Underwriters under this Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be several
and not joint.

         2. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the
Underwriters that:

                  (a). A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-
______) (the "Initial Registration Statement") in respect of the Securities has
been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"); the
Initial Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, each in
the form heretofore delivered or to be delivered to the Representatives and,
excluding exhibits to the Initial Registration Statement, but including all
documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus contained therein, have
been declared effective by the Commission in such form; other than a
registration statement, if any, increasing the size of the offering (a "Rule
462(b) Registration Statement"), filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), which became effective upon
filing, and any documents incorporated by reference, no document with respect to
the Initial Registration Statement has heretofore been filed or transmitted for
filing with the Commission (other than prospectuses filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Act, each in the
form heretofore delivered to the Representatives); and no stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement, any post-effective
amendment thereto or the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, has been
issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by
the Commission (any preliminary prospectus included in the Initial Registration
Statement or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Act is
hereinafter called a "Preliminary Prospectus"; the various parts of the Initial
Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereto and the Rule 462(b)
Registration Statement, if any, including all exhibits thereto and the documents
incorporated by reference in the prospectus contained in the Initial
Registration Statement at the time such part of the Initial Registration
Statement became effective but excluding Form T-1, each as amended at the time
such part of the Initial Registration Statement became effective or such part of
the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, became or hereafter becomes
effective, are hereinafter collectively called the "Registration Statement"; the
prospectus relating to the Securities, in the form in which it has most recently
been filed, or transmitted for filing, with the Commission on or prior to the
date of this Agreement, being hereinafter called the "Prospectus"; any reference
herein to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer
to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to the
applicable form under the Act, as of the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or
Prospectus, as the case may be; any reference to any amendment or supplement to
any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and
include any documents filed after the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or
Prospectus, as the case may be, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), and incorporated by reference in such Preliminary
Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; any reference to any amendment to
the Initial Registration Statement shall be




                                       2


deemed to refer to and include any annual report of the Company filed pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the
Initial Registration Statement that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement; and any reference to the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented shall be deemed to refer to the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented in relation to the applicable Designated Securities in the form in
which it is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act in
accordance with Section 5(a) hereof, including any documents incorporated by
reference therein as of the date of such filing);

                  (b) The documents incorporated by reference in the
Prospectus, when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the
case may be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Act
or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder, and none of such documents contained an untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and any
further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or
any further amendment or supplement thereto, when such documents become
effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will conform in
all material respects to the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as
applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and will
not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall
not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter of
Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to such Securities;

                  (c) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus conform,
and any further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus will conform, in all material respects, to the requirements of the
Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"),
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and do not and will
not, as of the applicable effective date as to the Registration Statement and
any amendment thereto and as of the applicable filing date as to the Prospectus
and any amendment or supplement thereto, contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that
this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions
made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to
the Company by an Underwriter of Designated Securities through the
Representatives expressly for use in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented
relating to such Securities;

                  (d) Since the respective dates as of which information is
given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there has not been any
material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material
adverse change, in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial
position, shareholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus;

                  (e) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly
existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware, with power and authority



                                       3


(corporate and other) to own its properties and conduct its business as
described in the Prospectus;

                  (f) The Company has an authorized capitalization as set forth
in the Prospectus, and all of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company
have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable;

                  (g) The Securities have been duly authorized, and, when
Designated Securities are issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement and
the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities, such
Designated Securities will have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and
delivered and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, which will be
substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; the
Indenture has been duly authorized and duly qualified under the Trust Indenture
Act and, at the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities (as defined in
Section 4 hereof), the Indenture will constitute a valid and legally binding
instrument, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to
enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
principles; and the Indenture conforms, and the Designated Securities will
conform, to the descriptions thereof contained in the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented with respect to such Designated Securities;

                  (h) The Conversion Shares, if any, have been duly authorized
by the Company and at the Time of Delivery will be validly reserved for issuance
by the Company upon conversion of the applicable Designated Securities by all
necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Conversion Shares, when duly

holder thereof will be subject to personal liability solely by reason of being
such a holder; and the issuance of the Conversion Shares will not be subject to
preemptive or similar rights;

                  (i) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration
or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is
required for the issue and sale of the Securities or the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Pricing
Agreement or the Indenture, except such as have been, or will have been prior to
the Time of Delivery, obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and
such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may
be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the
purchase and distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters;

                  (j) Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in
violation of its charter or bylaws or in default in the performance or
observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition
contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease or
other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of
its properties may be bound;

                  (k) Other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no
legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries is the subject which, if




                                       4

         4. Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter pursuant

Representatives promptly of any such amendment or supplement after such Time of
Delivery and furnish the Representatives with copies thereof; to file promptly
all reports and any definitive proxy or information statements required to be
filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act for so long as the delivery of a prospectus is
required in connection with the offering or sale




                                       5


of such Securities, and during such same period to advise the Representatives,

the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or
suspending the use of any prospectus relating to the Securities, of the
suspension of the qualification of such Securities for offering or sale in any

the withdrawal of such order;

                  (b) Promptly from time to time to take such action as the
Representatives may reasonably request to qualify such Securities for offering
and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives
may request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of
sales and dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary
to complete the distribution of such Securities, provided that in connection
therewith the Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation
or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction; and
provided further that the expense of maintaining any such qualification more
than one year from the date of the Pricing Agreement with respect to such
Securities shall be at the expense of the Underwriters;

                  (c) To use best efforts to deliver as early as is reasonably
practicable on the New York Business Day next succeeding the date of the Pricing
Agreement for the Designated Securities and from time to time, to furnish the
Underwriters in New York City with copies of the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented in such quantities as the Representatives may reasonably request
and, if the delivery of a prospectus is required at any time in connection with
the offering or sale of Securities and if at such time any event shall have
occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented
would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus is delivered,
not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such
same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange
Act any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply
with the Act, the Exchange Act or the Trust Indenture Act, to notify the
Representatives and upon their request to file such document and to prepare and
furnish without charge to each Underwriter and to any dealer in Designated
Securities as many copies as the Representatives may from time to time
reasonably request of an amended Prospectus or a supplement to the Prospectus
which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance;

                  (d) To make generally available to its securityholders as soon
as practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under
the Act), an earning statement of the Company and its subsidiaries (which need
not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder (including, at the option of the
Company, Rule 158);



                                       6


                  (e) During the period beginning from the date of the Pricing
Agreement for such Designated Securities and continuing to and including the
later of (i) the termination of trading restrictions for such Designated
Securities, as notified to the Company by the Representatives, and (ii) the Time
of Delivery for such Designated Securities, not to offer, sell, contract to sell
or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company which mature more
than one year after such Time of Delivery and which are substantially similar to
such Designated Securities, without the prior written consent of the
Representatives; and

                  (f) If the Company elects to rely upon Rule 462(b), the
Company shall file a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement with the Commission in
compliance with Rule 462(b) by 10:00 P.M., Washington, D.C. time, on the date of
this Agreement, and the Company shall at the time of filing either pay to the
Commission the filing fee for the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement or give
irrevocable instructions for the payment of such fee pursuant to Rule 111(b)
under the Act.

         6. The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters that
the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees,
disbursements and expenses of the Company's counsel and accountants in
connection with the registration of the Securities under the Act and all other
expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the
Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and
amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies
thereof to the Underwriters and dealers; (ii) all expenses in connection with
the qualification of the Securities for offering and sale under state securities
laws as provided in Section 5(b) hereof, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such
qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky and Legal Investment Surveys;
(iii) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Securities;
(iv) any filing fees incident to, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Underwriters in connection with, any required review by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. of the terms of the sale of the
Securities; (v) the cost of preparing the Securities; (vi) the fees and expenses
of any Trustee and any agent of any Trustee and the fees and disbursements of
counsel for any Trustee in connection with any Indenture and the Securities; and
(vii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its
obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this
Section. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section,
and Sections 8 and 11 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs
and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of
any of the Securities by them, and any advertising expenses connected with any
offers they may make.

         7. The obligations of the Underwriters of any Designated Securities
under the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities shall be
subject, in the discretion of the Representatives, to the condition that all
representations and warranties and other statements of the Company in or
incorporated by reference in the Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated
Securities are, at and as of the Time of Delivery for such Designated
Securities, true and correct in all material respects, the condition that the
Company shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be
performed, and the following additional conditions:

                  (a) The Prospectus as amended or supplemented in relation to
the applicable Designated Securities shall have been filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) within




                                       7


the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by the rules and
regulations under the Act and in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof; if the
Company has elected to rely upon Rule 462(b), the Rule 462(b) Registration
Statement shall have become effective by 10:00 P.M., Washington, D.C. time, on
the date of this Agreement; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or any part thereof shall have been issued and no
proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the
Commission; and all requests for additional information on the part of the
Commission shall have been complied with to the Representatives' reasonable
satisfaction;

                  (b) Counsel for the Underwriters shall have furnished to the
Representatives such written opinion or opinions, dated the Time of Delivery for
such Designated Securities, with respect to the matters covered in paragraphs
(i), (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (x) and (xi) of subsection (c) below as well as
such other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably request, and
such counsel shall have received such papers and information as they may
reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters;

                  (c) Foley & Lardner, or other counsel to the Company
satisfactory to the Representatives, shall have furnished to the Representatives
their written opinion, dated the Time of Delivery for such Designated
Securities, in form satisfactory to the Representatives, to the effect that:

                  (i) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly
         existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State
         of Delaware, with corporate power and authority to own its properties
         and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus as amended or
         supplemented;

                  (ii) To the best of such counsel's knowledge and other than as
         set forth in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented, there are no
         legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any
         of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company
         or any of its subsidiaries is the subject that, if determined adversely
         to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, in the opinion of such
         counsel would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse
         effect on the consolidated financial position, shareholders' equity or
         results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as
         one enterprise; and, to the best of such counsel's knowledge, no such
         proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities
         or threatened by others;

                  (iii) This Agreement and the Pricing Agreement with respect to
         the Designated Securities have been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by the Company;

                  (iv) The Designated Securities have been duly authorized,
         executed, authenticated, issued and delivered and constitute valid and
         legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits
         provided by the Indenture; and the Designated Securities and the
         Indenture conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof
         in the Prospectus as amended or supplemented;



                                       8


                  (v) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and
         delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and legally binding
         obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
         accordance with its terms, and the Indenture has been duly qualified
         under the Trust Indenture Act;

                  (vi) The issue and sale of the Designated Securities and the
         compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Designated
         Securities, the Indenture, this Agreement and the Pricing Agreement
         with respect to the Designated Securities and the consummation of the
         transactions herein and therein contemplated will not conflict with or
         result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of,
         or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
         loan agreement or other agreement or instrument (in each case material
         to the Company and its subsidiaries considered as an enterprise) known
         to such counsel to which the Company is a party or by which the Company
         is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is
         subject, nor will such actions result in any violation of the
         provisions of the charter or bylaws of the Company or any statute or
         any order, rule or regulation known to such counsel of any court or
         governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any
         of its properties;

                  (vii) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration
         or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or
         body is required for the issue and sale of the Designated Securities or
         the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by
         this Agreement or such Pricing Agreement or the Indenture, except such
         as have been obtained under the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and
         such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or
         qualifications as may be required under state or foreign securities
         laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Designated
         Securities by the Underwriters;

                  (viii) The statements set forth in the Prospectus as amended
         or supplemented under the caption "Description of Notes" insofar as
         they purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Designated
         Securities, under the caption "Federal Income Tax Considerations" and
         under the captions "Plan of Distribution" and "Underwriting," insofar
         as they relate to legal matters or purport to describe the provisions
         of the documents referred to therein, are accurate descriptions in all
         material respects of such terms and such matters and fairly present the
         information required or purported to be set forth therein;

                  (ix) The Company is not an "investment company", as such term
         is defined in the Investment Company Act;

                  (x) The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus
         as amended or supplemented (other than the financial statements and
         other financial and accounting information included therein or omitted
         therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), when they
         were filed with the Commission, complied as to form in all material
         respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as
         applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;
         and they have no reason to believe that any of such documents, when
         they were so filed, as the case may be,




                                       9


         included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
         material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
         light of the circumstances under which they were made when such
         documents were so filed, not misleading; and

                  (xi) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended
         or supplemented and any further amendments and supplements thereto made
         by the Company prior to the Time of Delivery for the Designated
         Securities (other than the financial statements and other financial
         information included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such
         counsel need express no opinion) comply as to form in all material
         respects with the requirements of the Act and the Trust Indenture Act
         and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;

Such opinion shall also state that, while such counsel has not verified, is not
passing upon and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or
fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or documents incorporated therein by reference (except to the extent
expressly provided in paragraph (viii) above), such counsel has generally
reviewed and discussed such statements with certain officers and representatives
of the Company and with the Company's independent accountants, and with the
Underwriters and their counsel, and in the course of such review and discussions
no facts came to the attention of such counsel that lead such counsel to believe
(A) that, as of its effective date, the Registration Statement or any further
amendment thereto made by the Company prior to the Time of Delivery or any
document incorporated therein by reference at such time (other than financial
statements and other financial and accounting information included therein or
omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no assurance) contained
an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading or (B) that, as of the date thereof or at the Time of Delivery, the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented or any further amendment or supplement
thereto made by the Company prior to the Time of Delivery or any document
incorporated therein by reference at such time (other than the financial
statements and other financial and accounting information included therein or
omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no assurance) included
or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Such opinion
may be made subject to the qualification that the enforceability of the terms of
the Indenture and the Designated Securities may be limited by the effect of any
applicable bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, moratorium,
reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
to the discretionary nature of specific performance, injunctive relief and other
equitable remedies, including the appointment of a receiver, and by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law).

Such counsel may also state that certain provisions of the Indenture and the
Designated Securities may not be enforceable in whole or in part, but that the
inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of either of the
Indenture or the Designated Securities taken together and each of the Indenture
and the Designated Securities contains adequate provisions for enforcing payment
of the obligations evidenced thereby and for the practical realization of the
benefits intended to be provided thereby. Such counsel may rely upon
certificates of public officials and officers of the Company and may limit such
opinion to matters governed by the




                                       10


internal laws of the State of Michigan, applicable federal laws and the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware;

                  (d) On the date of this Agreement, at the time of execution of
the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities and at the Time
of Delivery for such Designated Securities, the independent accountants of the
Company who have certified the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
shall have furnished to the Representatives a letter, dated the effective date
of the Registration Statement or the date of the most recent report filed with
the Commission containing financial statements and incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement, if the date of such report is later than such
effective date, a letter dated the date of such Pricing Agreement, and a letter
dated such Time of Delivery, respectively, to the effect set forth in Annex II
hereto and, with respect to such letter dated such Time of Delivery, as to such
other matters as the Representatives may reasonably request and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Representatives;

                  (e) Since the respective dates as of which information is
given in the Prospectus as amended prior to the date of the Pricing Agreement
relating to the Designated Securities there shall not have been any change, or
any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the general
affairs, management, financial position, shareholders' equity or results of
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth or
contemplated in the Prospectus as amended prior to the date of the Pricing
Agreement relating to the Designated Securities, the effect of which, in any
such case, is in the judgment of the Representatives so material and adverse as
to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or
the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus as first amended or supplemented relating to the
Designated Securities;

                  (f) On or after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to
the Designated Securities (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating
accorded the Company's debt securities or preferred stock by any "nationally
recognized statistical rating organization", as that term is defined by the
Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, and (ii) no such
organization shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or
review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company's
debt securities or preferred stock;

                  (g) On or after the date of the Pricing Agreement relating to
the Designated Securities there shall not have occurred any of the following:
(i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on
the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading
in the Company's securities on the New York Stock Exchange; (iii) a general
moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either Federal or New
York State authorities; or (iv) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities
involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a
national emergency or war, if the effect of any such event specified in this
clause (iv) in the judgment of the Representatives makes it impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the
Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the
Prospectus as first amended or supplemented relating to the Designated
Securities;



                                       11


                  (h) The Company shall have complied with the provisions of
Section 5(c) hereof with respect to the furnishing of prospectuses on the New
York Business Day next succeeding the date of the Pricing Agreement; and

                  (i) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished
to the Representatives at the Time of Delivery for the Designated Securities a
certificate or certificates of officers of the Company satisfactory to the
Representatives as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the
Company herein at and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the
Company of all of its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such
Time of Delivery, as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (e) of this
Section and as to such other matters as the Representatives may reasonably
request.

         8.       (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any
preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus as
amended or supplemented and any other prospectus relating to the Securities, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary
Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any other prospectus relating to
the Securities, or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter
of Designated Securities through the Representatives expressly for use in the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to such Securities; and provided
further that the Company shall not be liable to any Underwriter of Designated
Securities or any person controlling such Underwriter under the indemnity
agreement in this subsection (a) with respect to any such documents to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Underwriter or
controlling person results from the fact that such Underwriter sold such
Designated Securities to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or
prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus or of
the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented (excluding documents incorporated
by reference), whichever is most recent, if the Company has previously furnished
copies thereof to such Underwriter.

                  (b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company
may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement,
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any
other prospectus relating to the Securities, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based




                                       12

upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any
Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any other prospectus
relating to the Securities, or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will
reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim
as such expenses are incurred.

                  (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such
indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel
or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation. In any such action, any indemnified party shall have the right to
retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party shall
have agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the indemnifying
party shall have failed to assume the defense of such proceeding and employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified person in such proceeding or
(iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the
indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm (in addition to local counsel) for all such
indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the
Representatives in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to subsection (a)
and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to subsection
(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall,
without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or
compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any
pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an
actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement,
compromise or judgment (i) includes an



                                       13


unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of
such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission
of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.

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




                                       14


entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Designated Securities
in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their
respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not
joint.

                  (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall
be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls
any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the
Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which
the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

         9.       (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to
purchase the Designated Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the
Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities, the Representatives
may in their discretion arrange for themselves or another party or other parties
to purchase such Designated Securities on the terms contained herein. If within
thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do
not arrange for the purchase of such Designated Securities, then the Company
shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to
procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to
purchase such Designated Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the
respective prescribed period, the Representatives notify the Company that they
have so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, or the Company
notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such
Designated Securities, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right
to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Designated Securities for a period of
not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be
made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees
to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made
necessary. The term "Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include any
person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had
originally been a party to the Pricing Agreement with respect to such Designated
Securities.

                  (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection
(a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities which
remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal
amount of the Designated Securities, then the Company shall have the right to
require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of
Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase under the
Pricing Agreement relating to such Designated Securities and, in addition, to
require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on
the principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to
purchase under such Pricing Agreement) of the Designated Securities of such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been
made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability
for its default.



                                       15


                  (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the
purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection
(a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities which remains
unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of the
Designated Securities, as referred to in subsection (b) above, or if the Company
shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require
non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Designated Securities of a defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters, then the Pricing Agreement relating to such
Designated Securities shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part
of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be
borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and
the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing
herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

         10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties
and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth
in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to
this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf
of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company,
or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall
survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

         11. If any Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9
hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter
with respect to the Designated Securities covered by such Pricing Agreement
except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof; but, if for any other reason
Designated Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as
provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the
Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the
Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably
incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and
delivery of such Designated Securities, but the Company shall then be under no
further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Designated Securities
except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof.

         12. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives of the Underwriters
of Designated Securities shall act on behalf of each of such Underwriters, and
the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement,
request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by such
Representatives jointly or by such of the Representatives, if any, as may be
designated for such purpose in the Pricing Agreement.

         All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to the address of the Representatives as set forth in the
Pricing Agreement; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail,
telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the
Registration Statement: Attention: General Counsel; provided, however, that any
notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof shall be delivered or
sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such Underwriter at its address
set forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such
Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the




                                       16


Company by the Representatives upon request. Any such statements, requests,
notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

         13. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be binding upon,
and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the
extent provided in Sections 8 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the
Company and each person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no
other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this
Agreement or any such Pricing Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities
from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of
such purchase.

         14. Time shall be of the essence of each Pricing Agreement. As used
herein: "business day" shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City are
generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

         15. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

         16. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any
one or more of the parties hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

         If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign
and return to us counterparts hereof.

                                      Very truly yours,

         insofar as they relate to legal matters or purport to describe the
         provisions of the documents referred to therein, are accurate
         descriptions in all material respects of such terms and such matters
         and fairly present the information required or purported to be set
         forth therein;

            (x) Neither the Company nor the Trust is an "investment company", as
         such term is defined in the Investment Company Act;

            (xi) The documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus as
         amended or supplemented (other than the financial statements and other
         financial and accounting information included therein or omitted
         therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no opinion), when they
         were filed with the Commission, complied as to form in all material
         respects with the requirements of the Act or the Exchange Act, as
         applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder;
         and they have no reason to believe that any of such documents, when
         they were so filed, as the case may be, included an untrue statement of
         a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order
         to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
         which they were made when such documents were so filed, not misleading;
         and

            (xii) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or
         supplemented and any further amendments and supplements thereto made by
         the Company prior to the Time of Delivery for the Securities (other
         than the financial statements and other financial information included
         therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no
         opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the
         requirements of the Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the rules and
         regulations of the Commission thereunder;

Such opinion shall also state that, while such counsel has not verified, is not
passing upon and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or
fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectus or documents incorporated therein by reference (except to the extent
expressly provided in paragraph (viii) above), such counsel has generally
reviewed and discussed such statements with certain officers and representatives
of the Company


                                       11




and with the Company's independent accountants, and with the Underwriters and
their counsel, and in the course of such review and discussions no facts came to
the attention of such counsel that lead such counsel to believe (A) that, as of
its effective date, the Registration Statement or any further amendment thereto
made by the Company prior to the Time of Delivery or any document incorporated
therein by reference at such time (other than financial statements and other
financial and accounting information included therein or omitted therefrom, as
to which such counsel need express no assurance) contained an untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (B) that,
as of the date thereof or at the Time of Delivery, the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Company
prior to the Time of Delivery or any document incorporated therein by reference
at such time (other than the financial statements and other financial and
accounting information included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such
counsel need express no assurance) included or includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. Such opinion may be made subject to the qualification
that the enforceability of the terms of the Indenture, the Guarantee Agreement
and the Securities may be limited by the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar
laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to the discretionary nature of
specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies, including
the appointment of a receiver, and by general principles of equity (regardless
of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law).

         Such counsel may also state that certain provisions of the Indenture,
the Trust Agreement and the Securities may not be enforceable in whole or in
part, but that the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of
the Indenture, the Guarantee Agreement or the Securities taken together and each
of the Indenture, the Guarantee Agreement and the Securities contains adequate
provisions for enforcing payment of the obligations evidenced thereby and for
the practical realization of the benefits intended to be provided thereby. Such
counsel may rely upon certificates of public officials and officers of the
Company and may limit such opinion to matters governed by the internal laws of
the State of Michigan, applicable federal laws and the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware;

            (d) Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., special Delaware counsel for
the Trust, or other counsel to the Trust satisfactory to the Representatives,
shall have furnished to you their written opinion, dated such Time of Delivery,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to you, to the effect that:

            (i) The Trust has been duly formed and is validly existing in good
         standing as a business trust under the Delaware Act and, under the
         Trust Agreement and the Delaware Act, has the trust power and authority
         to conduct its business as presently conducted as described in the
         Prospectus;

            (ii) Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Trust
         Agreement by the Company and the Trustees, the Trust Agreement is a
         legal, valid and legally binding agreement of the Company and the
         Trustees, and is enforceable against the Company and the Trustees, in
         accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of

                                       12



         (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, reorganization,
         liquidation, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws
         relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors
         generally, (ii) principles of equity, including applicable law relating
         to fiduciary duties (regardless of whether considered and applied in a
         proceeding in equity or at law), and (iii) the effect of applicable
         public policy on the enforceability of provisions relating to
         indemnification or contribution;

            (iii) Under the Trust Agreement and the Delaware Act, the execution
         and delivery of this Agreement by the Trust, and the performance by the
         Trust of its obligations hereunder, have been duly authorized by all
         requisite trust action on the part of the Trust;

            (iv) The Preferred Securities have been duly authorized by the Trust
         Agreement and are duly and validly issued and, subject to the
         qualifications set forth in paragraph (v) below, are fully paid and
         nonassessable undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the
         Trust;

            (v) The Holders of Preferred Securities, as beneficial owners of the
         Trust, will be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability
         extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized
         under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We note
         that the Holders of Preferred Securities may be obligated, pursuant to
         the Trust Agreement, to (a) provide indemnity and/or security in
         connection with and pay taxes or governmental charges arising from
         transfers or exchanges of Preferred Securities certificates and the
         issuance of replacement Preferred Securities certificates, and (b)
         provide security or indemnity in connection with requests of or
         directions to the Property Trustee to exercise its rights and remedies
         under the Trust Agreement; and

            (vi) Under the Trust Agreement and the Delaware Act, the issuance of
         the Preferred Securities is not subject to preemptive rights.

            (e) On the date of this Agreement and at the Time of Delivery for
such Securities, the independent accountants of the Company who have certified
the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included or
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall have furnished to
the Representatives a letter, dated the effective date of the Registration
Statement or the date of the most recent report filed with the Commission
containing financial statements and incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement, if the date of such report is later than such effective
date, a letter dated the date of this Agreement, and a letter dated such Time of
Delivery, respectively, to the effect set forth in Annex II hereto and, with
respect to such letter dated such Time of Delivery, as to such other matters as
the Representatives may reasonably request and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Representatives;

            (f) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the Prospectus as amended prior to the date hereof, there shall not have been
any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting
the general affairs, management, financial position, shareholders' equity or
results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, otherwise than as set
forth or contemplated in the Prospectus as amended prior to


                                       13



the date hereof, the effect of which, in any such case, is in the judgment of
the Representatives so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the
Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;

            (g) On or after the date hereof, (i) no downgrading shall have
occurred in the rating accorded the Company's debt securities or preferred stock
by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization", as that term is
defined by the Commission for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Act, and (ii)
no such organization shall have publicly announced that it has under
surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any
of the Company's debt securities or preferred stock;

            (h) On or after the date hereof, there shall not have occurred any
of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) a suspension or
material limitation in trading in the Company's securities on the New York Stock
Exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared
by either Federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) the outbreak or
escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the
United States of a national emergency or war, if the effect of any such event
specified in this clause (iv) in the judgment of the Representatives makes it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery
of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;

            (i) The Company shall have complied with the provisions of Section
5(c) hereof with respect to the furnishing of prospectuses on the New York
Business Day next succeeding the date hereof; and

            (j) The Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to
the Representatives at the Time of Delivery for the Securities a certificate or
certificates of officers of the Company satisfactory to the Representatives as
to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein at
and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company of all of
its obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of Delivery,
as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (e) of this Section and as to
such other matters as the Representatives may reasonably request.

         8. (a) The Company and the Trust, jointly and severally, will indemnify
and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject,
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any other prospectus
relating to the Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out
of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are
incurred; provided, however, that the Company


                                       14




and the Trust shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any other
prospectus relating to the Securities, or any such amendment or supplement in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to such Securities; and provided
further that the Company and the Trust shall not be liable to any Underwriter or
any person controlling such Underwriter under the indemnity agreement in this
subsection (a) with respect to any such documents to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability of such Underwriter or controlling person
results from the fact that such Underwriter sold Securities to a person to whom
there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such
sale, a copy of the Prospectus or of the Prospectus as then amended or
supplemented (excluding documents incorporated by reference), whichever is most
recent, if the Company has previously furnished copies thereof to such
Underwriter.

            (b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and the Trust against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the
Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus
supplement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented and any other prospectus relating to the Securities, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary
Prospectus, any preliminary prospectus supplement, the Registration Statement,
the Prospectus as amended or supplemented and any other prospectus relating to
the Securities, or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter
through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the
Company and the Trust for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Company or the Trust in connection with investigating or defending any such
action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

            (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection
(a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified
party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice
from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to
assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such
indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of


                                       15



other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation. In any such action, any indemnified party shall have the
right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party
shall have agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such proceeding
and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified person in such
proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
and the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is
understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to local counsel)
for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be
reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the
Representatives in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to subsection (a)
and by the Company in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to subsection
(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall,
without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or
compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any
pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an
actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement,
compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified
party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not
include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

            (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation
provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable
law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under
subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Company on the one hand and such Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be
in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before
deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by such Underwriters. The relative fault
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or


                                       16




alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company on the one hand or such Underwriters on the other and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission, including, with respect to any such
Underwriter, the extent to which such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) result from the fact that such Underwriter sold
Securities to a person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the
written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the Prospectus or of the Prospectus
as then amended or supplemented (excluding documents incorporated by reference),
whichever is most recent, if the Company has previously furnished copies thereof
to such Underwriter. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to
the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters in this subsection (d) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.

            (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any
Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the
Underwriters under this Section 8 shall be in addition to any liability which
the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

         9. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase
the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the Representatives
may in their discretion arrange for themselves or another party or other parties
to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six
hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange
for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a
further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or
other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Securities on
such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed period, the
Representatives notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase
of such Securities, or the Company notifies the Representatives that it has so
arranged for the purchase of such Securities, the Representatives or the Company
shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for such Securities for a
period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may
thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus as
amended or supplemented, or in any other

                                       17




documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any
amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which
in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term
"Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted
under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a
party hereto.

            (b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of
the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the
Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the
aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not
exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, then
the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to
purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to
purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter
to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities
which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such
defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been
made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability
for its default.

            (c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of
the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the
Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the
aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds
one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, as referred to
in subsection (b) above, or if the Company shall not exercise the right
described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to
purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this
Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any
non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne
by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 6 hereof and the
indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 8 hereof; but nothing herein
shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

         10. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties
and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth
in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to
this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf
of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company,
or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall
survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

         11. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof,
the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter with
respect to the Securities except as provided in Sections 6 and 8 hereof; but, if
for any other reason Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company
as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the
Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the
Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably
incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and
delivery of such Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further
liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Securities except as provided
in Sections 6 and 8 hereof.

                                       18



         12. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives of the Underwriters
shall act on behalf of each of such Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall
be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on
behalf of any Underwriter made or given by such Representatives jointly.

         All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in
writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or
facsimile transmission to __________________; and if to the Company shall be
delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the
Company set forth in the Registration Statement: Attention: General Counsel;
provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(c)
hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to
such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire, or
telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the
Company by the Representatives upon request. Any such statements, requests,
notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.


         13. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the
benefit of, the Underwriters, the Trust, the Company and, to the extent provided
in Sections 8 and 10 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each
person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall
acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of
any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign
by reason merely of such purchase.

         14. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein:
"business day" shall mean any day when the Commission's office in Washington,
D.C. is open for business; and "New York Business Day" shall mean each Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking
institutions in New York City are generally authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close.

         15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.

         16. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties
hereto and thereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.

                                       19




         If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign
and return to us counterparts hereof.

                                                                         ANNEX I

         Pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Underwriting Agreement, the accountants
shall furnish letters to the Underwriters to the effect that:


            (i) They are independent certified public accountants with respect
         to the Company and its subsidiaries within the meaning of the Act and
         the applicable published rules and regulations thereunder, and the
         statement in each Registration Statement in answer to Item 10 of Form
         S-3 is accurate insofar as it relates to them;

            (ii) In their opinion, the audited consolidated financial statements
         of the Company and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by
         reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K most recently
         filed with the Commission and covered by their report included therein
         (the "audited financials") comply as to form in all material respects
         with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act or the Exchange
         Act, as applicable, and the published rules and regulations under the
         Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable;

            (iii) On the basis of limited procedures, not constituting an audit,
         which have been carried out through a specified date not more than two
         business days prior to the date of each such letter,* including (1)
         performing the procedures specified by the American Institute of
         Certified Public Accountants for are view of interim financial
         information as described in Statements on Auditing Standards No. 71,
         "Interim Financial Information," on the unaudited consolidated
         financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries included in
         the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission
         from the beginning of the Company's fiscal year through the date of
         such letter (the "quarterly financials"), (2) a reading of the minutes
         of the meetings of the Board of Directors, and stockholders of the
         Company since the date of the audited financials, (3) inquiries of
         certain officials of the Company responsible for financial and
         accounting matters as to transactions and events subsequent to the date
         of the audited financials, and (4) such other procedures and inquiries
         as may be described in each such letter, nothing has come to their
         attention which has caused them to believe that:

                (A) Any material modifications should be made to the quarterly
            financials for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
            accounting principles; or

                (B) The quarterly financials do not comply as to form in all
            material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the
            Exchange Act and the related published rules and regulations; or

                (C) As of the last day of the month immediately preceding the
            date of such letter, unless such day is less than five business days
            prior to the date of such letter, in which case as of the last day
            of the second month immediately preceding the date of such letter
            (or such other date as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company
            and the Representative), there was any change with respect to the
            Company and its subsidiaries in the capital stock other than changes
            resulting




            from acquisitions or issuances of shares relating to employee
            benefit plans or any net change in aggregate debt as of the date of
            its most recent quarterly financial statements, as compared in each
            case with the corresponding amounts of outstanding debt in the
            balance sheets of the Company and each of such subsidiaries as of
            the date of their most recent quarterly financial statements,
            except, in all instances, for changes which the most recent report
            filed by the Company or any such subsidiary with the Commission
            containing financial statements disclosed have occurred or may occur
            or which are described in such letter; and

            (iv) They have performed certain specified procedures, including
         comparisons with certain specified accounting records of the Company
         and its subsidiaries, with respect to certain items of information
         included in each Registration Statement, in the reports filed with the
         Commission from the beginning of the Company's fiscal year through the
         date of such letter* and, in the case of each letter to be delivered
         pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Underwriting Agreement, in the
         Prospectus as amended or supplemented through the date of such letter,
         and have found such items to be in agreement with such records.

            (v) Based on reading of any unaudited pro forma consolidated
         condensed financial statements included in or incorporated by reference
         in the Prospectus and inquiry of officials who have responsibility for
         financial and accounting matters about the basis for the determination
         of pro forma adjustments, nothing has come to their attention that the
         unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not
         comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable
         accounting requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
         adopted by the Commission thereunder or the pro forma adjustments have
         not been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation
         of those statements.

* In the case of letters delivered pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Underwriting
Agreement, such procedures will be carried out through a specified date not more
than two business days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement
or not more than two business days prior to the most recent report filed with
the Commission containing financial statements, if the date of such report is
later than such effective date.

SECTION 2.02 FORM OF TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION. The Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in the following form: 8 {FORM OF BANK ONE TRUST COMPANY, N.A.'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION} This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, By:________________________________________ Authorized Signatory SECTION 2.03 FORM, EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING OF SECURITIES. The Securities of each series and the Coupons, if any, to be attached thereto, shall be in the forms approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Corporation may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage. Each Security and Coupon shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or any Vice President or its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer and the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, or, if the other signatory is other than the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, any assistant Treasurer, under its Corporate seal. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers. The seal of the Corporation may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Each Security and Coupon bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Corporation shall bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Security, or the Security to which such Coupon appertains. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Corporation may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Corporation and, in the case of Coupon Securities, having attached thereto appropriate Coupons, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Corporation Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Corporation Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities or Coupons of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by this Section and Section 2.01, in authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating: 9 (a) if the form of such Securities or Coupons has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and (c) that each such Security and Coupon, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Corporation in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and to general equity principles, whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity. If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Every Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Unregistered Security shall be dated as provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture referred to in Section 2.01 or, if no such terms are specified, the date of its original issuance. 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 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.08 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 14.04 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Corporation, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. If the Corporation shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of a Global Security, then the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall in accordance with this Section and the Corporation Order with respect to such series authenticate and deliver the Global Security that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by the Global Security, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or the 10 nominee of such Depository, and (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's instructions. Each Depository designated pursuant to Section 2.01 for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other applicable statute or regulation. SECTION 2.04 DENOMINATIONS; RECORD DATE. The Securities shall be issuable as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in such denominations as may be specified as contemplated in Section 2.01. In the absence of any such specification with respect to any series, such Securities shall be issuable in the denomination contemplated by Section 2.01. The term "record date" as used with respect to an Interest Payment Date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) shall mean such day or days as shall be specified in the terms of the Registered Securities of any particular series as contemplated by Section 2.01; provided, however, that in the absence of any such provisions with respect to any series, such term shall mean (1) the last day of the calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month; or (2) the fifteenth day of a calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of the calendar month. The person in whose name any Registered Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable and Additional Amounts, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Corporation shall default in the payment of the interest and Additional Amounts, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding Registered Securities are registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders of Securities of the series in default not less than fifteen days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than five days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. SECTION 2.05 EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF SECURITIES. Registered securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities of other authorized denominations of such series. Registered Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the Corporation for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, and the Corporation shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Registered Security or Registered Securities that the Holder making the exchange shall have been entitled to receive. If the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series of any 11 authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Corporation that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that are Coupon Securities, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. At the option of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of any series are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series of other authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Corporation that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02 or as specified pursuant to Section 2.01, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that are Coupon Securities, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, Registered Securities of any series may not be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. The Corporation or its designated agent (the "Security Registrar") shall keep, at such office or agency, a Security Register (the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall register Securities and shall register the transfer of Registered Securities as provided in this Article Two. The Security Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a particular series at such office or agency, the Corporation shall execute and the Corporation or the Security Registrar shall register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series for an equal aggregate principal amount. Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary bearer Securities) and Coupons shall be transferable by delivery. All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or payment, as the case may be, shall (if so required by the Corporation or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by, a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Registered Securities, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. The Corporation shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Registered Securities of any series for a period of fifteen days next preceding any selection of Registered Securities of such series to be redeemed, or (b) any Security of any such series selected for redemption except in the case of any such series to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so redeemed. 12 Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of Securities to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Trustee (which shall rely on an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Corporation (including the inability of the Corporation to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on any Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws. SECTION 2.06 TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Corporation may execute and on receipt of a Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities of such series (printed or lithographed). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable in any authorized denominations, and in the form approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Corporation. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Corporation and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unnecessary delay the Corporation shall execute and furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Registered Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the Corporation for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 and in the case of Unregistered Securities at any agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose as specified pursuant to Section 2.01, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and in the case of such Securities that are Coupon Securities, having attached thereto the appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. The provisions of this Section 2.06 are subject to any restrictions or limitations on the issue and delivery of temporary unregistered Securities of any series that may be established pursuant to Section 2.01 (including any provision that Unregistered Securities of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global Unregistered Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency of the Corporation located outside the United States and the procedures pursuant to which definitive Unregistered Securities of such series would be issued in exchange for such temporary global Unregistered Security). SECTION 2.07 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN SECURITIES. In case any temporary or definitive Security of any series or, in the case of a Coupon Security, any Coupon appertaining thereto, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation in the case of a mutilated Security or Coupon shall, and in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Security or Coupon may, in its discretion, execute, and upon receipt of a Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or, in the case of a Coupon Security, a new Coupon Security of the same series as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon Security or, in the case of a Coupon, a new Coupon of the same series as the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so 13 destroyed, lost or stolen or in exchange for the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains, with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon, as the case may be, and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security or Coupon, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith and in addition a further sum not exceeding ten dollars for each Security so issued in substitution. In case any Security or Coupon which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation may, instead of issuing a substituted Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security or Coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the corporation and the Trustee with such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Corporation and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof. Every substituted Security with, in the case of any such Security that is a Coupon Security, its Coupons, issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall, with respect to such Security or Coupon, constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities, and the Coupons appertaining thereto, duly issued hereunder. All Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto and shall, to the extent permitted by law, preclude any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 2.08 CANCELLATION. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer, and all Coupons surrendered for payment as the case may be, shall, if surrendered to the Corporation or any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and promptly cancelled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, be cancelled by it, and no Securities or Coupons, shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities and Coupons and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Corporation. SECTION 2.09 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 14 SECTION 2.10 SECURITIES IN GLOBAL FORM. If Securities of a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding clause (9) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of Section 2.04, such Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Corporation Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.06. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 and, if applicable, Section 2.06, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in definitive global bearer form in the manner and upon written instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Corporation Order. If a Corporation Order pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.06 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Corporation with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 14.04 and need not be accompanied by an opinion of Counsel. The beneficial owner of a Security represented by a definitive Global Security in bearer form may, upon no less than 30 days written notice to the Trustee, given by the beneficial owner through a Depository, exchange its interest in such definitive Global Security for a definitive bearer Security or Securities, or a definitive Registered Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination, subject to the rules and regulations of such Depository and its members. No individual definitive bearer Security will be delivered in or to the United States. The provisions of the last sentence of the third to the last paragraph of Section 2.03 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Corporation and the Corporation delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 14.04 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of the third to the last paragraph of Section 2.03. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of principal of, and any premium and any interest on, any Security in definitive global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. SECTION 2.11 MEDIUM-TERM SECURITIES. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Corporation Order, Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03, 2.06, and 14.04 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. An Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11 in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from 15 time to time upon the written order of persons designated in such Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such Officers' Certificate or any applicable supplemental indenture such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified in such Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, provided that the foregoing procedure is acceptable to the Trustee. SECTION 2.12 CUSIP NUMBERS. The Corporation, in issuing the Securities, may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers. ARTICLE III. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES. SECTION 3.01 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES; APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Redemption of Securities of any series as permitted or required by the terms thereof shall be made in accordance with such terms and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such series of Securities shall govern. The notice date for a redemption of Securities shall mean the date on which notice of such redemption is given in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof. SECTION 3.02 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION; SELECTION OF SECURITIES. The election of the Corporation to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate. In case the Corporation shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part, of a series of Securities pursuant to the terms and provisions applicable to such series, it shall fix a date for redemption and shall mail a notice of such redemption at least thirty and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of the Securities of such series that are Registered Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, at their last addresses as the same appear on the Security Register. Such mailing shall be by prepaid first class mail. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder shall have received such notice. In any case, failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least thirty days and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee 16 (and, in the case of any such notice given by the Corporation, the Trustee shall make such information available to the Corporation for such purpose). Notice of redemption to any other Holder of an Unregistered Security of such series shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), in each case, once in each of two successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than thirty nor more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder shall have received such notice. In any case, failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the provisions of such Securities under which such redemption is made, that the conditions precedent, if any, to such redemption have occurred, shall describe the same and the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which such Securities are to be redeemed, the Place of Payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Coupon Securities, of all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that interest and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest, if any, thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed any notice of redemption published in an Authorized Newspaper shall specify the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed and, if applicable, the CUSIP Numbers thereof. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued of the same series. At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given for Unregistered Securities as provided in this Section and on or prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given for all Securities other than Unregistered Securities, the Corporation will deposit in trust with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption. The Corporation will give the Trustee notice of each redemption at least forty-five days prior to the date fixed for redemption (unless a shorter notice is acceptable to the Trustee) as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem reasonable and fair, the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed in whole or in part. SECTION 3.03 PAYMENT OF SECURITIES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the Place of Payment 17 stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities subject to redemption at said Place of Payment in said notice specified, the said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Corporation at the applicable redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, maturing on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall continue to be payable (but without interest thereon unless the Corporation shall default in payment thereof) in the case of Coupon Securities to the bearers of the Coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities to the Holders thereof registered as such on the Security Register on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.04. At the option of the Corporation payment may be made by check to (or to the order of) the Holders of the Securities or other persons entitled thereto against presentation and surrender of such Securities. If any Coupon Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Corporation and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless. Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Corporation, a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented of the same series. ARTICLE IV. PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION. SECTION 4.01 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. The Corporation shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on each of the Securities at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the terms of the Securities and in this Indenture. The interest on Coupon Securities (together with any Additional Amounts) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. The interest, if any, on any temporary bearer securities (together with any Additional Amounts) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by Coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any Additional Amounts) shall be payable only to the Holders thereof and at the option of the Corporation may be paid by (i) mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register for such Securities or (ii) in the case of Holders of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in 18 aggregate principal amount of such Registered Securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, but only if the Trustee has received wire transfer instructions in writing not less than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. SECTION 4.02 OFFICES FOR NOTICES AND PAYMENTS, ETC. As long as any of the Securities of a series remain outstanding, the Corporation shall designate and maintain, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Registered Securities of such series may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as provided in this Indenture, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Securities of such series or of this Indenture may be served, and an office or agency where the Securities of such series may be presented for payment. The Corporation shall give to the Trustee notice of the location of each such office or agency and of any change in the location thereof. In case the Corporation shall fail to maintain any such office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations may be made and notices and demands may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and the Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. If Unregistered Securities of any series are outstanding, the Corporation shall maintain or cause the Trustee to maintain one or more agencies in a city or cities located outside the United States (including any city in which such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any securities exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed) where such Unregistered Securities, and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be presented for payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or Coupon will be made upon presentation of such Unregistered Security or Coupon at an agency of the Corporation within the United States nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States, except, at the option of the Corporation, if the Corporation shall have determined that, pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in U.S. Dollars with respect to Unregistered Securities of any series and Coupons appertaining thereto that are payable in U.S. Dollars may be made at an agency of the Corporation maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such payment in U.S. Dollars at each agency maintained by the Corporation outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities is illegal or is effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. The Corporation hereby initially designates Bank One Trust Company, N.A., located at its Corporate Trust Office, as the Security Registrar and as the office or agency of the Corporation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where the Securities may be presented for payment and, in the case of Registered Securities, for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture provided and where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Securities of any series or of this Indenture may be served. 19 SECTION 4.03 PROVISIONS AS TO PAYING AGENT. (a) Whenever the Corporation shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section: (1) that it will hold sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, or Coupons appertaining thereto, as the case may be, entitled thereto and will notify the Trustee of the receipt of sums to be so held, (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Corporation (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make a payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable, and (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent. (b) If the Corporation shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of any series set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, so becoming due. The Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. (c) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for such series by it or any paying agent hereunder as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. (d) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Sections 12.04 and 12.05. SECTION 4.04 LUXEMBOURG PUBLICATIONS. In the event of the publication of any notice pursuant to Section 3.02, 6.07, 7.10, 7.11, 9.02, 10.02, or 12.05, the party making such publication shall also, to the extent that notice is required so to be given to Holders of Securities of a series by applicable Luxembourg law or stock exchange regulation, make a similar publication the same number of times in Luxembourg.

SECTION 4.06 LIMITATIONS ON LIENS. For the benefit of the Securities, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, issue or assume any Debt secured by a Mortgage upon any Domestic Manufacturing Property of the Corporation or of any Manufacturing Subsidiary or upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Manufacturing Subsidiary (whether such Domestic Manufacturing Property, shares of stock or indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance or assumption of any such Debt that the Securities (together with, if the Corporation shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Corporation or such Manufacturing Subsidiary ranking equally with the Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Debt, unless the aggregate amount of Debt issued or assumed and so secured by Mortgages, together with (i) all other Debt of the Corporation and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries which (if originally issued or assumed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, but not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (i) through (v) of the immediately following paragraph and not including Permitted Receivables Financings, and (ii) all Attributable Debt of the Company and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries in respect of sale and lease-back transactions, does not at the time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as shown on the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year.

SECTION 4.07 LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASE-BACK. For the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any person providing for the leasing by the Corporation or any Manufacturing Subsidiary of any Domestic Manufacturing Property owned by the Corporation or by any Manufacturing Subsidiary on the date that the Securities are originally issued (except for temporary leases for a term of not more than three years and except for leases between the Corporation and a Manufacturing Subsidiary or between Manufacturing Subsidiaries), which property has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Corporation or such Manufacturing Subsidiary to such person, unless either (i) the Corporation or such Manufacturing Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the provisions of the covenant on limitation on liens described in Section 4.06, to issue, assume, extend, renew or replace Debt secured by a Mortgage upon such Domestic Manufacturing Property equal in amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement without equally and ratably securing the Securities; provided, however, that from and after the date on which such arrangement becomes effective the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement shall be deemed for all purposes under the covenant on limitation on liens described in Section 4.06 and this covenant on limitation on sale and lease-back to be Debt subject to the provisions of such covenant on limitation on liens (which provisions include the exceptions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) of such covenant), or (ii) the Corporation shall apply an amount in cash equal to the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement to the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement or by way of payment at maturity), within 180 days of the effective date of any such arrangement, of Debt of the Corporation or any Manufacturing Subsidiary (other than Debt owned by the Corporation or any Manufacturing Subsidiary) which by its terms matures at, or is extendible or renewable at the option of the obligor to, a date more than twelve months after the date of the creation of such Debt.

Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If said Commission, after opportunity for appearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, said Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met, and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application. 25 (c) Each and every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Corporation and the Trustee that neither the Corporation nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b).

The Corporation agrees to notify the Trustee when and as the Securities of any series become listed on any stock exchange. ARTICLE VI. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. SECTION 6.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. In case one or more of the following Events of Default with respect to a particular series of Securities shall have occurred and be continuing, that is to say: (a) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, and continuance of such default for a period of five business days after written notice from the trustee; or (b) default in the payment of any installment of interest, if any, or in the payment of any Additional Amounts upon any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of thirty days after written notice from the Trustee; or (c) failure on the part of the Corporation duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Corporation applicable to such series of the Securities or contained in this Indenture for a period of ninety days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Corporation to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Corporation by the Trustee, or to the Corporation and the Trustee by the Holders of at least twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding; or (d) default by the Corporation or any Significant Subsidiary in any payment of $25,000,000 or more of principal of or interest on any Debt or in the payment of $25,000,000 or more on account of any guarantee in respect of Debt, beyond any period of grace that may be provided in the instrument or agreement under which such Debt or guarantee was created. (e) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed, undismissed and unbonded and in effect for a period of ninety days; or 27 (f) the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation or for a substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; then if an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) shall have occurred and be continuing, and in each and every such case, unless the principal amount of all the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected thereby then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of such Securities) may declare the principal amount of all the Securities (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of the series affected thereby to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series to the contrary notwithstanding, or, if an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty- five percent in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then outstanding hereunder (voting as one class), by notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of securities), may declare the principal of all the Securities not already due and payable (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary notwithstanding. The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Securities of any one or more or all series, as the case may be, shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Corporation shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if any, and all Additional Amounts, if any, due upon all the Securities of such series or of all the Securities, as the case may be, and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) all Securities of such series or of all the Securities, as the case may be (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities), which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest, if any, upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities of such series, as the case may be (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration of such series, as the case may be), to the date of such payment or deposit), and such amount as shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and any and all defaults under the Indenture shall have been remedied, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) then outstanding, by written notice to the Corporation and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to that series or with respect to all Securities, as the case may be, and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission 28 and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. If the principal of all Securities shall have been declared to be payable pursuant to this Section 6.01, in determining whether the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount thereof have waived all defaults and rescinded and annulled such declaration, all series of Securities shall be treated as a single class and the principal amount of Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed to be the amount declared payable under the terms applicable to such Original Issue Discount Securities. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Corporation, Trustee and the Holders of Securities, as the case may be, shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 6.02 PAYMENT OF SECURITIES ON DEFAULT; SUIT THEREFOR. The Corporation covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest, if any, on any of the Securities of any series or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any of the Securities of any series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty days or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of any series, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of such series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Corporation shall pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, and the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such Securities, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of such series and such Coupons, for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities of such series (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration); and, in addition thereto, such further amounts as shall be payable pursuant to Section 7.06. In case the Corporation shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Corporation or other obligor upon such Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Corporation or other obligor upon such Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Corporation or any other obligor upon Securities of any series under Title 11 of the United 29 States Code or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Corporation or such other obligor, or in case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or such other obligor, or to the creditors or property of the Corporation or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series), and premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee under Section 7.06 and of the Holders of the Securities and Coupons of such series allowed in any such judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or other obligor upon the Securities of such series, or to the creditors or property of the Corporation or such other obligor, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders of such series and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders of the Securities and Coupons of such series to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders of such series, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. 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. All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons appertaining thereto. In case of a default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. SECTION 6.03 APPLICATION OF MONEYS COLLECTED BY TRUSTEE. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates 30 fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the several Securities and Coupons in respect of which moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of the amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06; SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become due, to the payment of interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such series in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest, if any, specified in the Securities of such series (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration), such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; and THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities of such series (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration); and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, without preference or priority of principal (and premium, if any), over interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, or of interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, over principal (and premium, if any), or of any installment of interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, over any other installment of interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, or of any Security of such series over any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (and premium, if any), and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any. SECTION 6.04 PROCEEDINGS BY SECURITYHOLDERS. No Holder of any Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding or, in the case of any Event of Default described in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01, twenty-five per cent in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities at the time outstanding (voting as one class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may 31 require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for sixty days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing himself, herself or itself of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities and Coupons. For the protection and enforcement of the revisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Security or Coupon, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or Coupon, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. With respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, principal shall mean such amount as shall be due and payable as may be specified in the terms of such Securities. SECTION 6.05 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE AND CONTINUING. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities or Coupons, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons, as the case may be. SECTION 6.06 DIRECTION OF PROCEEDINGS. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series affected (voting as one class) at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction and (iii) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceedings so directed would be prejudicial to the Holders not joining in such direction or may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or 32 Executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or responsible officers shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the payment of principal of (premium, if any) or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Securities of such series or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that may not be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.06, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Securities of such series and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing. SECTION 6.07 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee (i) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses and (iii) to all Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of that series, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, unless in each case such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purpose of this Section being hereby defined to be the events specified in Sections 6.01(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) and any additional events specified in the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, not including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein, and irrespective of the giving of written notice specified in Section 6.01(c) or in the terms of any Securities established pursuant to Section 2.01); and provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of (premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any of the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities of such series. SECTION 6.08 UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his, her or its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as 33 Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholders of any series, or group of such Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in aggregate principal amount of all Securities (voting as one class) or to any suit instituted by any Securityholders for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security. ARTICLE VII. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE. SECTION 7.01 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of a particular series and after the curing of all Events of Default of such series that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to a particular series has occurred (which has not been cured) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it, by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a particular series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to such series that may have occurred: (1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to such series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; 34 (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 6.06 relating to the time, method and place, of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed as requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 7.02 RELIANCE ON DOCUMENTS, OPINIONS, ETC. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01: (a) the Trustee may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, Coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Corporation mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or any Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or any Vice President or the Treasurer and by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary or, if the other signatory is other than the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and a Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses, and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby; (e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or 35 matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the relevant books, records and premises of the Corporation, personally or by agent or attorney; (f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, provided, however, that the Trustee shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder; and (g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. SECTION 7.03 NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECITALS, ETC. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Corporation, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, provided that the Trustee shall not be relieved of its duty to authenticate Securities only as authorized by this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Corporation of Securities or the proceeds thereof. SECTION 7.04 OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES OR COUPONS. The Trustee or any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, or an agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee. SECTION 7.05 MONEYS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. Subject to the provisions of Sections 12.04 and 12.05 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Corporation to pay thereon. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Corporation, signed by its Chairman of the Board of Directors or any Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or its President or any Vice President or its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer. SECTION 7.06 COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE. The Corporation covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation, and, except as otherwise expressly provided, the Corporation will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such 36 property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances hereon. The Corporation also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Corporation under this Section to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or Coupons. SECTION 7.07 OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE AS EVIDENCE. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 7.08 CONFLICTING INTEREST OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. SECTION 7.09 ELIGIBILITY OF TRUSTEE. There shall at all times be a trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, which (a) is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and (b) is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority and (c) shall have at all times a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S. $50 million. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law, or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation at any time shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section or Section 310(a)(5) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. SECTION 7.10 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may, upon sixty days written notice to the Corporation, at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series by giving written notice of resignation to the Corporation (i) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered 37 Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (iii) by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation the Corporation shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the applicable series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Securityholders, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08 with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months, or (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provision of Section 7.09 with respect to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any such Securityholder, or (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Corporation may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee with respect to such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, any Securityholder of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series (voting as one class) at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee 38 with respect to Securities of all series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of all series. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. SECTION 7.11 ACCEPTANCE BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Corporation and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, on the written request of the Corporation or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Corporation shall execute any and all instruments in writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Corporation, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto that shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the 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. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Corporation shall give notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder (a) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof by publication of such notice at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (b) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and 39 addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall make such information available to the Corporation for such purpose) and (c) to the Holders of Registered Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the Corporation fails to mail such notice in the prescribed manner within ten days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be so given at the expense of the Corporation. SECTION 7.12 SUCCESSOR BY MERGER, ETC. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. SECTION 7.13 LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS CREDITOR. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) and Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. ARTICLE VIII. CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS. SECTION 8.01 ACTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Securityholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders of Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Securityholders. In determining whether the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities have taken any action (including the making of any demand or request, the waiving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that may be counted in making such determination and that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be equal to the amount of the principal thereof that could be declared to be due and payable upon an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of such Original Issue Discount Security at the time the taking of such action is evidence to the Trustee. 40 SECTION 8.02 PROOF OF EXECUTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: (a) In the case of Holders of Unregistered Securities, the fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution thereof or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the person executing the same. The fact of the holding by any Holder of a Security of any series, and the identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security of such series bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Securities of one or more series specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Securities of any series specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced, or (2) the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person, or (3) the Security of such series specified in such certificates shall have ceased to be outstanding. Subject to Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities of any series held by the person so executing such instrument and the amount and numbers of any Security or Securities for such series may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee for such series or in any other manner that the Trustee for such series may deem sufficient. (b) In the case of Registered Securities, the ownership of such Securities shall be proved by the Security Register or by a certificate of the Security Registrar. SECTION 8.03 WHO ARE DEEMED ABSOLUTE OWNERS. The Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or Coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Security or Coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may, subject to Section 2.04 hereof, treat the person in whose name a Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security Register as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof 41 and for all other purposes and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. SECTION 8.04 CORPORATION-OWNED SECURITIES DISREGARDED. In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities that are owned by the Corporation or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Corporation, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be disregarded. Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Corporation. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. SECTION 8.05 REVOCATION OF CONSENTS; FUTURE SECURITYHOLDERS BOUND. At any time prior to the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the identifying number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Security issued in exchange or substitution therefor irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities of each series intended to be affected thereby. SECTION 8.06 SECURITIES IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY. Unless otherwise specified in an Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Indenture or in an indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a particular series of Securities, on any day when for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of two or more series of outstanding Securities and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of at least one such series that are denominated in a coin or currency other than that of at least one other such series, then the principal amount of Securities of each such series (other than any such series denominated in U.S. Dollars) that shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of U.S. Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Section 8.06, "Market Exchange Rate" shall mean (i) for any conversion involving a Currency unit on the one hand and dollars or any foreign currency on the other, the exchange rate between the relevant Currency unit and dollars or such foreign currency, (ii) for any conversion of dollars into any foreign currency, the noon U.S. Dollar buying rate for such foreign currency for cable 42 transfers quoted in The City of New York on such day as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (iii) for any conversion of one foreign currency into dollars or another foreign currency, the spot rate at noon local time in the relevant market at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the dollars or foreign currency into which conversion is being made could be purchased with the foreign currency from which conversion is being made from major banks located in either New York City, London or any other principal market for dollars or such purchased foreign currency. In the event of the unavailability of any of the exchange rates provided for in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more major banks in New York City, London or other principal market for such Currency or Currency unit in question, or such other quotations as the Trustee shall deem appropriate. Unless otherwise specified by the Trustee, if there is more than one market for dealing in any Currency or Currency unit by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in respect of such Currency or Currency unit shall be that upon which a nonresident issuer of securities designated in such Currency or Currency unit would purchase such Currency or Currency unit in order to make payments in respect of such securities. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent number of votes that each Securityholder or proxy shall be entitled to pursuant to Section 9.05, in respect of Securities of a series denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars. All decisions and determinations of the Corporation regarding the Market Exchange Rate shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Corporation and all Holders. ARTICLE IX. SECURITYHOLDERS' MEETINGS. SECTION 9.01 PURPOSES OF MEETINGS. A meeting of Securityholders of any or all series may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Article for any of the following purposes: (1) to give any notice to the Corporation or to the Trustee, or to give any directions to the Trustee, or to waive any default hereunder and its consequences, or to take any other action authorized to be taken by Securityholders pursuant to any of the provisions of Article Six; (2) to remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Seven; (3) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02; or (4) to take any other action authorized to be taken by or on behalf of the Holders of any specified aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, under any other provision of this Indenture or under applicable law. 43 SECTION 9.02 CALL OF MEETINGS BY TRUSTEE.

Notice of every meeting of the Holders of Securities of any or all series, setting forth the time and place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given (i) if any Unregistered Securities of a series that may be affected by the action proposed to be taken at such meeting are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof, by publication at least twice in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least twice in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg) prior to the date fixed for the meeting, the first publication, in each case, to be not less than twenty nor more than one hundred eighty days prior to the date fixed for the meeting and the last publication to be not more than five days prior to the date fixed for the meeting, (ii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series that may be affected by the action proposed to be taken at such meeting are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses, not less than twenty nor more than one hundred eighty days prior to the date fixed for the meeting and (iii) to all Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of each series that may be affected by the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, not less than twenty nor more than one hundred eighty days prior to the date fixed for the meeting. Failure of any Holder or Holders to receive such notice, or any defect therein, shall in no case affect the validity of any action taken at such meeting. Any meeting of Holders of Securities of all or any series shall be valid without notice if the Holders of all such Securities outstanding, the Corporation and the Trustee are present in person or by proxy or shall have waived notice thereof before or after the meeting. The Trustee may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for determining the Holders entitled to notice of or to vote at any such meeting at not less than twenty or more than one hundred eighty days prior to the date fixed for such meeting. SECTION 9.03 CALL OF MEETINGS BY CORPORATION OR SECURITYHOLDERS.

SECTION 9.04 QUALIFICATION FOR VOTING. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Securityholders a person shall be a Holder of one or more Securities of a series with respect to which a meeting is being held or a person appointed by instrument in writing as proxy by such a Holder. The only persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of the 44 Securityholders shall be the persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel and any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Corporation and its counsel. SECTION 9.05 REGULATIONS. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Securityholders, in regard to proof of the holding of Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit. The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Corporation or by Securityholders as provided in Section 9.03, in which case the Corporation or the Securityholder calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote except as a Securityholder or proxy. Any meeting of Securityholders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.02 or 9.03 may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice. SECTION 9.06 VOTING. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Securityholders shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Securityholders or proxies and on which shall be inscribed the identifying number or numbers or to which shall be attached a list of identifying numbers of the Securities held or represented by them.

A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Securityholders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavit by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in Section 9.02 or Section 9.03. The record shall be signed and verified by the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Corporation and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 45 ARTICLE X. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. SECTION 10.01 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS. The Corporation, when authorized by Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939) for one or more of the following purposes: (a) to evidence the succession of another entity to the Corporation, or successive successions, and the assumption by any successor entity of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Corporation pursuant to Article Eleven hereof; (b) to add to the covenants of the Corporation such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as its Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities of any or all series, or the Coupons appertaining to such Securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any of such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a default or an Event of Default with respect to any or all series permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth, with such period of grace, if any, and subject to such conditions as such supplemental indenture may provide; (c) to add or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities of any series in bearer form, registrable or not registrable as to principal, and with or without interest Coupons, and to provide for exchangeability of such Securities with Securities issued hereunder in fully registered form and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose, and to add or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of uncertificated Securities of any series; (d) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of any series of Securities or any Coupons appertaining to such Securities; (e) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee; (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add or change provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to Section 7.11; (g) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03; and 46 (h) to change or eliminate any provision of this Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination (i) shall become effective only when there is no Security outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture that is entitled to the benefit of such provision or (ii) shall not apply to any Security outstanding. The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Corporation in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that adversely affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed by the Corporation and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.02. SECTION 10.02 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF SECURITYHOLDERS. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time outstanding affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as one class), the Corporation, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indentures or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series or any Coupons appertaining to such Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) change the fixed maturity of any Securities, or reduce the principal amount thereof (or premium, if any), or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any interest or Additional Amounts thereon or reduce the amount due and payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof or the amount provable in bankruptcy, or make the principal of (premium, if any) or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in such Security, (ii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the stated maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date therefor) or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the percentage required for the consent of the Holders pursuant to Section 6.01 to waive defaults, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected. Upon the request of the Corporation, accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Corporation in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture. 47 It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. Promptly after the execution and delivery by the Corporation and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall give notice of such supplemental indenture (i) to the Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected thereby, by mailing a notice thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, (ii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected thereby are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, by mailing a notice thereof by first-class mail to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (iii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected thereby are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof, by Publication of a notice thereof at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), and in each case such notice shall set forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Corporation to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture. SECTION 10.03 COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT; EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Corporation and the Holders of Securities shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall be provided an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture complies with the provisions of this Article Ten. SECTION 10.04 NOTATION ON SECURITIES. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.

Such successor entity thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of Visteon Corporation, any or all of the Securities, and any Coupons appertaining thereto, issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Corporation and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor entity, instead of the Corporation, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations prescribed in this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities or Coupons which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Corporation to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities or Coupons that such successor entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.

On or before April 1, 2001, and on or before April 1 in each year thereafter, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate signed by the Corporation's principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer, as to such Officer's knowledge of the Corporation's compliance with all 49 conditions and covenants under this Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture), as required by Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

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 any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to the Trustee at the same time as or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. SECTION 2.02 FORM OF TRUSTEE'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION. The Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in the following form: {FORM OF BANK ONE TRUST COMPANY, N.A.'S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION} This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, By:________________________________________ Authorized Signatory SECTION 2.03 FORM, EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING OF SECURITIES. The Securities of each series and the Coupons, if any, to be attached thereto, shall be in the forms approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Corporation may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage. 10 Each Security and Coupon shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or any Vice President or its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer and the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, or, if the other signatory is other than the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, any assistant Treasurer, under its Corporate seal. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such officers. The seal of the Corporation may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Each Security and Coupon bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Corporation shall bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Security, or the Security to which such Coupon appertains. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Corporation may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Corporation and, in the case of Coupon Securities, having attached thereto appropriate Coupons, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Corporation Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Corporation Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities or Coupons of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by this Section and Section 2.01, in authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating: (a) if the form of such Securities or Coupons has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and (c) that each such Security and Coupon, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Corporation in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and to general equity principles, whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity. If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Every Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Unregistered Security shall be dated as provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture referred to in Section 2.01 or, if no such terms are specified, the date of its original issuance. 11 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 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.08 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 15.04 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Corporation, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. If the Corporation shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of a Global Security, then the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall in accordance with this Section and the Corporation Order with respect to such series authenticate and deliver the Global Security that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by the Global Security, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or the nominee of such Depository, and (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's instructions. Each Depository designated pursuant to Section 2.01 for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other applicable statute or regulation. SECTION 2.04 DENOMINATIONS; RECORD DATE. The Securities shall be issuable as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in such denominations as may be specified as contemplated in Section 2.01. In the absence of any such specification with respect to any series, such Securities shall be issuable in the denomination contemplated by Section 2.01. The term "record date" as used with respect to an Interest Payment Date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) shall mean such day or days as shall be specified in the terms of the Registered Securities of any particular series as contemplated by Section 2.01; provided, however, that in the absence of any such provisions with respect to any series, such term shall mean (1) the last day of the calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month; or (2) the fifteenth day of a calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of the calendar month. The person in whose name any Registered Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable and Additional Amounts, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange 12 thereof subsequent to such Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Corporation shall default in the payment of the interest and Additional Amounts, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding Registered Securities are registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders of Securities of the series in default not less than fifteen days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than five days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. SECTION 2.05 EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF SECURITIES. Registered securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities of other authorized denominations of such series. Registered Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the Corporation for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, and the Corporation shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Registered Security or Registered Securities that the Holder making the exchange shall have been entitled to receive. If the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Corporation that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that are Coupon Securities, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. At the option of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of any series are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series of other authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Corporation that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02 or as specified pursuant to Section 2.01, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that are Coupon Securities, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, Registered Securities of any series may not be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. The Corporation or its designated agent (the "Security Registrar") shall keep, at such office or agency, a Security Register (the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall register Securities and shall register the transfer of Registered Securities as provided in this Article II. The Security Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a particular series at such office or agency, the Corporation shall execute and the Corporation or the Security Registrar shall register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of 13 the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series for an equal aggregate principal amount. Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary bearer Securities) and Coupons shall be transferable by delivery. All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or payment, as the case may be, shall (if so required by the Corporation or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by, a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Registered Securities, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. The Corporation shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Registered Securities of any series for a period of fifteen days next preceding any selection of Registered Securities of such series to be redeemed, or (b) any Security of any such series selected for redemption except in the case of any such series to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so redeemed. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of Securities to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Trustee (which shall rely on an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Corporation (including the inability of the Corporation to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on any Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws. SECTION 2.06 TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Corporation may execute and on receipt of a Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities of such series (printed or lithographed). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable in any authorized denominations, and in the form approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Corporation. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Corporation and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unnecessary delay the Corporation shall execute and furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Registered Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the Corporation for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 and in the case of Unregistered Securities at any agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose as specified pursuant to Section 2.01, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized 14 denominations and in the case of such Securities that are Coupon Securities, having attached thereto the appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. The provisions of this Section 2.06 are subject to any restrictions or limitations on the issue and delivery of temporary unregistered Securities of any series that may be established pursuant to Section 2.01 (including any provision that Unregistered Securities of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global Unregistered Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency of the Corporation located outside the United States and the procedures pursuant to which definitive Unregistered Securities of such series would be issued in exchange for such temporary global Unregistered Security). SECTION 2.07 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN SECURITIES. In case any temporary or definitive Security of any series or, in the case of a Coupon Security, any Coupon appertaining thereto, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation in the case of a mutilated Security or Coupon shall, and in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Security or Coupon may, in its discretion, execute, and upon receipt of a Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or, in the case of a Coupon Security, a new Coupon Security of the same series as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon Security or, in the case of a Coupon, a new Coupon of the same series as the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen or in exchange for the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains, with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Corporation and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon, as the case may be, and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security or Coupon, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith and in addition a further sum not exceeding ten dollars for each Security so issued in substitution. In case any Security or Coupon which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation may, instead of issuing a substituted Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security or Coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the corporation and the Trustee with such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Corporation and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof. Every substituted Security with, in the case of any such Security that is a Coupon Security, its Coupons, issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall, with respect to such Security or Coupon, constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to 15 all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities, and the Coupons appertaining thereto, duly issued hereunder. All Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto and shall, to the extent permitted by law, preclude any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 2.08 CANCELLATION. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer, and all Coupons surrendered for payment as the case may be, shall, if surrendered to the Corporation or any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and promptly cancelled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, be cancelled by it, and no Securities or Coupons, shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities and Coupons and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Corporation. SECTION 2.09 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. SECTION 2.10 SECURITIES IN GLOBAL FORM. If Securities of a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding clause (9) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of Section 2.04, such Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Corporation Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.06. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 and, if applicable, Section 2.06, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in definitive global bearer form in the manner and upon written instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Corporation Order. If a Corporation Order pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.06 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Corporation with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 15.04 and need not be accompanied by an opinion of Counsel. The beneficial owner of a Security represented by a definitive Global Security in bearer form may, upon no less than 30 days written notice to the Trustee, given by the beneficial owner through a Depository, exchange its interest in such definitive Global Security for a definitive bearer Security or Securities, or a definitive Registered Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination, subject to the rules and regulations of such Depository and its members. No individual definitive bearer Security will be delivered in or to the United States. 16 The provisions of the last sentence of the third to the last paragraph of Section 2.03 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Corporation and the Corporation delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 15.04 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of the third to the last paragraph of Section 2.03. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of principal of, and any premium and any interest on, any Security in definitive global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. SECTION 2.11 MEDIUM-TERM SECURITIES. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Corporation Order, Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03, 2.06, and 15.04 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. An Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11 in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon the written order of persons designated in such Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such Officers' Certificate or any applicable supplemental indenture such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified in such Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, provided that the foregoing procedure is acceptable to the Trustee. SECTION 2.12 CUSIP NUMBERS. The Corporation, in issuing the Securities, may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers. ARTICLE III. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES. SECTION 3.01 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES; APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Redemption of Securities of any series as permitted or required by the terms thereof shall be made in accordance with such terms and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such series of Securities shall govern. 17 The notice date for a redemption of Securities shall mean the date on which notice of such redemption is given in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof. SECTION 3.02 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION; SELECTION OF SECURITIES. The election of the Corporation to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate. In case the Corporation shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part, of a series of Securities pursuant to the terms and provisions applicable to such series, it shall fix a date for redemption and shall mail a notice of such redemption at least thirty and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of the Securities of such series that are Registered Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, at their last addresses as the same appear on the Security Register. Such mailing shall be by prepaid first class mail. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder shall have received such notice. In any case, failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least thirty days and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and, in the case of any such notice given by the Corporation, the Trustee shall make such information available to the Corporation for such purpose). Notice of redemption to any other Holder of an Unregistered Security of such series shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), in each case, once in each of two successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than thirty nor more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder shall have received such notice. In any case, failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the provisions of such Securities under which such redemption is made, that the conditions precedent, if any, to such redemption have occurred, shall describe the same and the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which such Securities are to be redeemed, the Place of Payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Coupon Securities, of all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that interest and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest, if any, thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed any notice of redemption published in an Authorized Newspaper shall specify the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed and, if applicable, the CUSIP Numbers thereof. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal 18 amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued of the same series. At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given for Unregistered Securities as provided in this Section and on or prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given for all Securities other than Unregistered Securities, the Corporation will deposit in trust with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption. The Corporation will give the Trustee notice of each redemption at least forty-five days prior to the date fixed for redemption (unless a shorter notice is acceptable to the Trustee) as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem reasonable and fair, the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed in whole or in part. SECTION 3.03 PAYMENT OF SECURITIES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the Place of Payment stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities subject to redemption at said Place of Payment in said notice specified, the said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Corporation at the applicable redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, maturing on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall continue to be payable (but without interest thereon unless the Corporation shall default in payment thereof) in the case of Coupon Securities to the bearers of the Coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities to the Holders thereof registered as such on the Security Register on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.04. At the option of the Corporation payment may be made by check to (or to the order of) the Holders of the Securities or other persons entitled thereto against presentation and surrender of such Securities. If any Coupon Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Corporation and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless. 19 Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Corporation, a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented of the same series. ARTICLE IV. PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION. SECTION 4.01 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. The Corporation shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on each of the Securities at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the terms of the Securities and in this Indenture. The interest on Coupon Securities (together with any Additional Amounts) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. The interest, if any, on any temporary bearer securities (together with any Additional Amounts) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by Coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any Additional Amounts) shall be payable only to the Holders thereof and at the option of the Corporation may be paid by (i) mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register for such Securities or (ii) in the case of Holders of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of such Registered Securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, but only if the Trustee has received wire transfer instructions in writing not less than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. SECTION 4.02 OFFICES FOR NOTICES AND PAYMENTS, ETC. As long as any of the Securities of a series remain outstanding, the Corporation shall designate and maintain, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Registered Securities of such series may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as provided in this Indenture, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Securities of such series or of this Indenture may be served, and an office or agency where the Securities of such series may be presented for payment. The Corporation shall give to the Trustee notice of the location of each such office or agency and of any change in the location thereof. In case the Corporation shall fail to maintain any such office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations may be made and notices and demands may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and the Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. If Unregistered Securities of any series are outstanding, the Corporation shall maintain or cause the Trustee to maintain one or more agencies in a city or cities located outside the United States (including any city in which such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any securities exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed) where such 20 Unregistered Securities, and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be presented for payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or Coupon will be made upon presentation of such Unregistered Security or Coupon at an agency of the Corporation within the United States nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States, except, at the option of the Corporation, if the Corporation shall have determined that, pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in U.S. Dollars with respect to Unregistered Securities of any series and Coupons appertaining thereto that are payable in U.S. Dollars may be made at an agency of the Corporation maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such payment in U.S. Dollars at each agency maintained by the Corporation outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities is illegal or is effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. The Corporation hereby initially designates Bank One Trust Company, N.A., located at its Corporate Trust Office, as the Security Registrar and as the office or agency of the Corporation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where the Securities may be presented for payment and, in the case of Registered Securities, for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture provided and where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Securities of any series or of this Indenture may be served. SECTION 4.03 PROVISIONS AS TO PAYING AGENT. (a) Whenever the Corporation shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section: (1) that it will hold sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, or Coupons appertaining thereto, as the case may be, entitled thereto and will notify the Trustee of the receipt of sums to be so held, (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Corporation (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make a payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable, and (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent. (b) If the Corporation shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of any series set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal 21 (and premium if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, so becoming due. The Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. (c) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for such series by it or any paying agent hereunder as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. (d) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Sections 12.04 and 12.05. SECTION 4.04 LUXEMBOURG PUBLICATIONS. In the event of the publication of any notice pursuant to Section 3.02, 6.07, 7.10, 7.11, 9.02, 10.02, or 12.05, the party making such publication shall also, to the extent that notice is required so to be given to Holders of Securities of a series by applicable Luxembourg law or stock exchange regulation, make a similar publication the same number of times in Luxembourg. SECTION 4.05 STATEMENT BY OFFICERS AS TO DEFAULT. The Corporation shall deliver to the Trustee, on or before a date not more than four months after the end of each fiscal year of the Corporation (which, on the date of execution hereof, ends on December 31) ending after the date hereof, commencing with the fiscal year ended in 2002, an Officers' Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Corporation is in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by it and, if the Corporation shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature thereof of which they may have knowledge. SECTION 4.06 LIMITATIONS ON LIENS. For the benefit of the Securities, the Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Manufacturing Subsidiary to, issue or assume any Debt secured by a Mortgage upon any Domestic Manufacturing Property of the Corporation or of any Manufacturing Subsidiary or upon any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Manufacturing Subsidiary (whether such Domestic Manufacturing Property, shares of stock or indebtedness are now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the issuance or assumption of any such Debt that the Securities (together with, if the Corporation shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Corporation or such Manufacturing Subsidiary ranking equally with the Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Debt, unless the aggregate amount of Debt issued or assumed and so secured by Mortgages, together with (i) all other Debt of the Corporation and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries which (if originally issued or assumed at such time) would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, but not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (i) through (v) of the immediately following paragraph and not including Permitted Receivables Financings, and (ii) all Attributable Debt of the Corporation and its Manufacturing Subsidiaries in respect of sale and lease-back transactions, does not at the time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as shown on the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year. 22 The above restrictions shall not apply to: (i) Mortgages on property, shares of stock or indebtedness of any entity existing at the time (a) such entity becomes a Manufacturing Subsidiary or (b) of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties of the entity to the Corporation or a Manufacturing Subsidiary; (ii) Mortgages on property existing at the time of acquisition of such property by the Corporation or a Manufacturing Subsidiary, or Mortgages to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such property upon the acquisition of such property by the Corporation or a Manufacturing Subsidiary or to secure any Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after, the later of the date of acquisition of such property and the date such property is placed in service, for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof, or Mortgages to secure any Debt incurred for the purpose of financing the cost to the Corporation or a Manufacturing Subsidiary of improvements to such acquired property; (iii) Mortgages securing Debt of a Manufacturing Subsidiary owing to the Corporation or to another Subsidiary; (iv) Mortgages on property of the Corporation or a Manufacturing Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other country, or any political subdivision thereof, in connection with financing arrangements between the Corporation or a Manufacturing Subsidiary and any of the foregoing governmental bodies or agencies, to the extent that Mortgages are required by the governmental programs under which those financing arrangements are made, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such Mortgages or (v) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part, of any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (v), inclusively; provided however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property that secured the Mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property). SECTION 4.07 LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASE-BACK.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default with respect to a particular series of Securities shall have occurred and be continuing, that is to say: (a) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, and continuance of such default for a period of five business days after written notice from the trustee; or (b) default in the payment of any installment of interest, if any, or in the payment of any Additional Amounts upon any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of thirty days after written notice from the Trustee; or (c) failure on the part of the Corporation duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Corporation applicable to such series of the Securities or contained in this Indenture for a period of ninety days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Corporation to remedy the same, shall have been 28 given to the Corporation by the Trustee, or to the Corporation and the Trustee by the Holders of at least twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding; or (d) default by the Corporation or any Significant Subsidiary in any payment of $25,000,000 or more of principal of or interest on any Debt or in the payment of $25,000,000 or more on account of any guarantee in respect of Debt, beyond any period of grace that may be provided in the instrument or agreement under which such Debt or guarantee was created. (e) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed, undismissed and unbonded and in effect for a period of ninety days; or (f) the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation or for a substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; then if an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) shall have occurred and be continuing, and in each and every such case, unless the principal amount of all the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected thereby then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of such Securities) may declare the principal amount of all the Securities (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of the series affected thereby to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series to the contrary notwithstanding, or, if an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty- five percent in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then outstanding hereunder (voting as one class), by notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of securities), may declare the principal of all the Securities not already due and payable (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary notwithstanding. The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Securities of any one or more or all series, as the case may be, shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Corporation shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if any, and all Additional Amounts, if any, due upon all the Securities of such series or 29 of all the Securities, as the case may be, and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) all Securities of such series or of all the Securities, as the case may be (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities), which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest, if any, upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities of such series, as the case may be (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration of such series, as the case may be), to the date of such payment or deposit), and such amount as shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and any and all defaults under the Indenture shall have been remedied, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) then outstanding, by written notice to the Corporation and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to that series or with respect to all Securities, as the case may be, and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. If the principal of all Securities shall have been declared to be payable pursuant to this Section 6.01, in determining whether the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount thereof have waived all defaults and rescinded and annulled such declaration, all series of Securities shall be treated as a single class and the principal amount of Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed to be the amount declared payable under the terms applicable to such Original Issue Discount Securities. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Corporation, Trustee and the Holders of Securities, as the case may be, shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 6.02 PAYMENT OF SECURITIES ON DEFAULT; SUIT THEREFOR. The Corporation covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest, if any, on any of the Securities of any series or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any of the Securities of any series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty days or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of any series, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of such series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Corporation shall pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, and the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such Securities, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of such series and such Coupons, for principal ( and premium, if any) or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified 30 in the Securities of such series (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration); and, in addition thereto, such further amounts as shall be payable pursuant to Section 7.06. In case the Corporation shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Corporation or other obligor upon such Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Corporation or other obligor upon such Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Corporation or any other obligor upon Securities of any series under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Corporation or such other obligor, or in case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or such other obligor, or to the creditors or property of the Corporation or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series), and premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee under Section 7.06 and of the Holders of the Securities and Coupons of such series allowed in any such judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or other obligor upon the Securities of such series, or to the creditors or property of the Corporation or such other obligor, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders of such series and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders of the Securities and Coupons of such series to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders of such series, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. 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. 31 All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons appertaining thereto. In case of a default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. SECTION 6.03 APPLICATION OF MONEYS COLLECTED BY TRUSTEE.

No Holder of any Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding or, in the case of any Event of Default described in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01, twenty-five per cent in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities at the time outstanding (voting as one class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for sixty days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing himself, herself or itself of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities and Coupons. For the protection and enforcement of the revisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Security or Coupon, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or Coupon, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. With respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, principal shall mean such amount as shall be due and payable as may be specified in the terms of such Securities. SECTION 6.05 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE AND CONTINUING. All powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities or Coupons, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 33 of any of the Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons, as the case may be. SECTION 6.06 DIRECTION OF PROCEEDINGS. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series affected (voting as one class) at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction and (iii) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceedings so directed would be prejudicial to the Holders not joining in such direction or may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or responsible officers shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the payment of principal of (premium, if any) or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Securities of such series or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that may not be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.06, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Securities of such series and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing. SECTION 6.07 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee (i) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses and (iii) to all Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of that 34 series, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, unless in each case such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purpose of this Section being hereby defined to be the events specified in Sections 6.01(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) and any additional events specified in the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, not including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein, and irrespective of the giving of written notice specified in Section 6.01(c) or in the terms of any Securities established pursuant to Section 2.01); and provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of (premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any of the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities of such series. SECTION 6.08 UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his, her or its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholders of any series, or group of such Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in aggregate principal amount of all Securities (voting as one class) or to any suit instituted by any Securityholders for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security. ARTICLE VII. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE. SECTION 7.01 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of a particular series and after the curing of all Events of Default of such series that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to a particular series has occurred (which has not been cured) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it, by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 35 (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a particular series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to such series that may have occurred: (1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to such series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 6.06 relating to the time, method and place, of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed as requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 7.02 RELIANCE ON DOCUMENTS, OPINIONS, ETC. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01: (a) the Trustee may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, Coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Corporation mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or any Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or any Vice President or the Treasurer and by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary or, if the other signatory is other than the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and a Board Resolution may be 36 evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses, and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby; (e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the relevant books, records and premises of the Corporation, personally or by agent or attorney; (f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, provided, however, that the Trustee shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder; and (g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. SECTION 7.03 NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECITALS, ETC. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Corporation, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, provided that the Trustee shall not be relieved of its duty to authenticate Securities only as authorized by this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Corporation of Securities or the proceeds thereof. SECTION 7.04 OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES OR COUPONS. The Trustee or any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, or an agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee. SECTION 7.05 MONEYS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. Subject to the provisions of Sections 12.04 and 12.05 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys 37 received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Corporation to pay thereon. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Corporation, signed by its Chairman of the Board of Directors or any Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or its President or any Vice President or its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer. SECTION 7.06 COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE. The Corporation covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation, and, except as otherwise expressly provided, the Corporation will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances hereon. The Corporation also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Corporation under this Section to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or Coupons. SECTION 7.07 OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE AS EVIDENCE. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 7.08 CONFLICTING INTEREST OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. SECTION 7.09 ELIGIBILITY OF TRUSTEE. There shall at all times be a trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, which (a) is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and (b) is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority and (c) shall have at all times a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S. $50 million. If such corporation 38 publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law, or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation at any time shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section or Section 310(a)(5) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. SECTION 7.10 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may, upon sixty days written notice to the Corporation, at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series by giving written notice of resignation to the Corporation (i) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (iii) by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation the Corporation shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the applicable series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Securityholders, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08 with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months, or (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provision of Section 7.09 with respect to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any such Securityholder, or (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or 39 of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Corporation may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee with respect to such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, any Securityholder of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series (voting as one class) at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of all series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of all series. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. SECTION 7.11 ACCEPTANCE BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Corporation and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, on the written request of the Corporation or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Corporation shall execute any and all instruments in writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Corporation, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto that shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such 40 supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such trustee. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Corporation shall give notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder (a) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof by publication of such notice at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (b) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall make such information available to the Corporation for such purpose) and (c) to the Holders of Registered Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the Corporation fails to mail such notice in the prescribed manner within ten days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be so given at the expense of the Corporation. SECTION 7.12 SUCCESSOR BY MERGER, ETC. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. SECTION 7.13 LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS CREDITOR. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) and Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. ARTICLE VIII. CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS. SECTION 8.01 ACTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Securityholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the 41 record of the Holders of Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article IX, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Securityholders. In determining whether the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities have taken any action (including the making of any demand or request, the waiving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that may be counted in making such determination and that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be equal to the amount of the principal thereof that could be declared to be due and payable upon an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of such Original Issue Discount Security at the time the taking of such action is evidence to the Trustee. SECTION 8.02 PROOF OF EXECUTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: (a) In the case of Holders of Unregistered Securities, the fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution thereof or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the person executing the same. The fact of the holding by any Holder of a Security of any series, and the identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security of such series bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Securities of one or more series specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Securities of any series specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced, or (2) the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person, or (3) the Security of such series specified in such certificates shall have ceased to be outstanding. Subject to Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities of any series held by the person so executing such instrument and the amount and numbers of any Security or Securities for such series may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee for such series or in any other manner that the Trustee for such series may deem sufficient. (b) In the case of Registered Securities, the ownership of such Securities shall be proved by the Security Register or by a certificate of the Security Registrar. 42 SECTION 8.03 WHO ARE DEEMED ABSOLUTE OWNERS. The Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or Coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Security or Coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may, subject to Section 2.04 hereof, treat the person in whose name a Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security Register as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. SECTION 8.04 CORPORATION-OWNED SECURITIES DISREGARDED. In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities that are owned by the Corporation or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Corporation, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be disregarded. Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Corporation. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. SECTION 8.05 REVOCATION OF CONSENTS; FUTURE SECURITYHOLDERS BOUND. At any time prior to the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the identifying number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Security issued in exchange or substitution therefor irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities of each series intended to be affected thereby. SECTION 8.06 SECURITIES IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY. Unless otherwise specified in an Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Indenture or in an indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a particular series of Securities, on any day when for 43 purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of two or more series of outstanding Securities and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of at least one such series that are denominated in a coin or currency other than that of at least one other such series, then the principal amount of Securities of each such series (other than any such series denominated in U.S. Dollars) that shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of U.S. Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Section 8.06, "Market Exchange Rate" shall mean (i) for any conversion involving a Currency unit on the one hand and dollars or any foreign currency on the other, the exchange rate between the relevant Currency unit and dollars or such foreign currency, (ii) for any conversion of dollars into any foreign currency, the noon U.S. Dollar buying rate for such foreign currency for cable transfers quoted in The City of New York on such day as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (iii) for any conversion of one foreign currency into dollars or another foreign currency, the spot rate at noon local time in the relevant market at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the dollars or foreign currency into which conversion is being made could be purchased with the foreign currency from which conversion is being made from major banks located in either New York City, London or any other principal market for dollars or such purchased foreign currency. In the event of the unavailability of any of the exchange rates provided for in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more major banks in New York City, London or other principal market for such Currency or Currency unit in question, or such other quotations as the Trustee shall deem appropriate. Unless otherwise specified by the Trustee, if there is more than one market for dealing in any Currency or Currency unit by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in respect of such Currency or Currency unit shall be that upon which a nonresident issuer of securities designated in such Currency or Currency unit would purchase such Currency or Currency unit in order to make payments in respect of such securities. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent number of votes that each Securityholder or proxy shall be entitled to pursuant to Section 9.05, in respect of Securities of a series denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars. All decisions and determinations of the Corporation regarding the Market Exchange Rate shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Corporation and all Holders.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Corporation to creditors upon (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Corporation or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Corporation, then and in any such event specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above (each such event, if any, herein sometimes being referred to as a "Proceeding"): (a) the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all amounts due on or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any payment or distribution otherwise payable or deliverable to Holders of the Securities in respect of any indebtedness of the Corporation subordinated to the Securities, such payment or distribution being hereinafter referred to as a "Junior Subordinated Payment"), on account of the principal of or interest on the 54 Securities or on account of any purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Securities by the Corporation, any Subsidiary of the Corporation, the Trustee or any Paying Agent (all such payments, distributions, purchases, redemptions and acquisitions, whether or not in connection with a Proceeding, being herein referred to, individually and collectively, as "Securities Payment"); and (b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Corporation of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, by set-off or otherwise, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled but for the provisions of this Article (including, without limitation, any Junior Subordinated Payment) shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received in connection with any Proceeding any Securities Payment before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full or payment thereof provided for in cash, then and in such event such Securities Payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and shall be paid over or delivered to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, or, if there is no such trustee or trustees, to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of this Article only, the words "any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities" shall not be deemed to include a payment or distribution of stock or securities of the Corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment authorized by an order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in a reorganization proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law or of any other corporation provided for by such plan of reorganization or readjustment which stock is or which securities are subordinated in right of payment to all then outstanding Senior Indebtedness to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. The consolidation of the Corporation with, or the merger of the Corporation into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation following the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article XI shall not be deemed a Proceeding for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Corporation is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions set forth in Article XI. 55 SECTION 13.03 NO PAYMENT WHEN SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS IN DEFAULT. In the event that any Senior Payment Default (as defined below) shall have occurred, then no Securities Payment shall be made, nor shall any property of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation be applied to the purchase, acquisition, retirement or redemption of Securities, unless and until such Senior Payment Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist or all amounts then due and payable in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including amounts that have become and remain due by acceleration) shall have been paid in full in cash. "Senior Payment Default" means any default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness when due, whether on the Maturity Date for any such payment or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, mandatory payment or prepayment or otherwise. In the event that any Senior Nonmonetary Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the receipt by the Corporation and the Trustee of written notice of such Senior Nonmonetary Default from the holder of such Senior Indebtedness (or the agent, trustee or representative thereof), no Securities Payment shall be made, nor shall any property of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation be applied to the purchase, acquisition, retirement or redemption of Securities, during the period (the "Payment Blockage Period") commencing on the date of receipt of such written notice and ending (subject to any blockage of payments that may then or thereafter be in effect as the result of any Senior Payment Default) on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Senior Indebtedness to which such Senior Nonmonetary Default relates is discharged or such Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist and any acceleration of Senior Indebtedness to which such Senior Nonmonetary Default relates shall have been rescinded or annulled or (ii) the 179th day after the date of such receipt of written notice. No more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced with respect to the Securities during any period of 360 consecutive days and there shall be a period of at least 181 consecutive days in each period of 360 consecutive days when no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. Following the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period, the holders of any Senior Indebtedness will be precluded from commencing a subsequent Payment Blockage Period until the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence are satisfied. For all purposes of this paragraph, no Senior Nonmonetary Default that existed or was continuing on the date of commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representatives unless such Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have been cured for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. "Senior Nonmonetary Default" means the occurrence or existence and continuance of any default (other than a Senior Payment Default) or any event which, after notice or lapse of time (or both), would become an Event of Default (other than a Senior Payment Default) under the terms of any instrument or agreement pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, permitting (after notice or lapse of time or both) one or more holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of the holders thereof) to declare such Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made 56 known to the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such Securities Payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and shall be paid over or delivered to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, or, if there is no such trustee or trustees, to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any Securities Payment with respect to which Section 13.02 hereof would be applicable. SECTION 13.04 PAYMENT PERMITTED IF NO DEFAULT. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent the Corporation, at any time except during the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 13.02 hereof or under the conditions described in Section 13.03 hereof, from making Securities Payments. SECTION 13.05 SUBROGATION TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. Subject to the payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Corporation which by its express terms is subordinated to indebtedness of the Corporation to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Corporation, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Corporation to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness. SECTION 13.06 PROVISIONS SOLELY TO DEFINE RELATIVE RIGHTS. The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders on the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Corporation, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, is intended to rank equally with all other general obligations of the Corporation), to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Corporation of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Corporation other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior 57 Indebtedness to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder. SECTION 13.07 TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION. Each Holder of a Security by such Holder's acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Corporation whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership proceedings, or otherwise, the timely filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of the indebtedness of the Corporation owing to such Holder in the form required in such proceedings and the causing of such claim to be approved. If the Trustee does not file a proper claim at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, then the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and their agents, trustees or other representatives are authorized to do so (but shall in no event be liable for any failure to do so) for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities. SECTION 13.08 NO WAIVER OF SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Corporation or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Corporation with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) permit the Corporation to borrow, repay and then reborrow any or all of the Senior Indebtedness; (iii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (iv) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; (v) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Corporation and any other Person; and (vi) apply any sums received by them to Senior Indebtedness. SECTION 13.09 NOTICE TO TRUSTEE. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Corporation which would prohibit the making of any payments to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Corporation, any holder of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee, fiduciary or agent therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof, shall be entitled in 58 all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, but without limiting the rights and remedies of the holders of Senior Indebtedness or any trustee, fiduciary or agent therefor, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. Any notice required or permitted to be given to the Trustee by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or by any agent, trustee or representative thereof shall be in writing and shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and either (i) sent via facsimile to the Trustee, the receipt of which shall be confirmed via telephone, or (ii) mailed, first class postage prepaid, or sent by overnight carrier, to the Trustee addressed to its Corporate Trust Office or to any other address furnished in writing to such holder of Senior Indebtedness by the Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee, fiduciary or agent therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee, fiduciary or agent therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, no notice, request or other communication to or with the Trustee shall be deemed given unless received by a Responsible Officer at the Corporate Trust Office. SECTION 13.10 RELIANCE ON JUDICIAL ORDER OR CERTIFICATE OF LIQUIDATING AGENT. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Corporation referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Corporation, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article, provided that the foregoing shall apply only if such court has been apprised of the provisions of this Article. 59 SECTION 13.11 TRUSTEE NOT FIDUCIARY FOR HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Corporation or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. SECTION 13.12 RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS HOLDER OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS; PRESERVATION OF TRUSTEE'S RIGHTS. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.06 hereof. SECTION 13.13 ARTICLE APPLICABLE TO PAYING AGENTS. In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Corporation and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 13.11 hereof shall not apply to the Corporation or any Affiliate of the Corporation if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. ARTICLE XIV. IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. SECTION 14.01 INDENTURE AND SECURITIES SOLELY CORPORATE OBLIGATIONS. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, or in any Security, or because or on account of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any past, present or future incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, or other applicable principal, as such, of the Corporation or of any successor entity, either directly or through the Corporation or any successor entity, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities and Coupons. ARTICLE XV. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. SECTION 15.01 BENEFITS OF INDENTURE RESTRICTED TO PARTIES AND SECURITYHOLDERS. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or Coupons, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their 60 successors and the Holders of the Securities or Coupons, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons.

SECTION 15.05 LEGAL HOLIDAYS.

Any claims or proceedings in respect of this Indenture shall be heard in a federal or state court located in the State of New York. SECTION 15.09 JUDGMENT CURRENCY. The Corporation agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of any series (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in the City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the date on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day next preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture.

                                 TRUST AGREEMENT


                  This TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of April 1, 2002 (this "Trust
Agreement"), among (i) Visteon Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Depositor"); (ii) Bank One Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Delaware
trustee (the "Delaware Trustee"); (iii) Bank One Trust Company, N.A., a national
banking association, as Property trustee; and (iv) Mary Winston, an individual,
as trustee (each of such trustees in (ii), (iii) and (iv) a "Trustee" and
collectively, the "Trustees"). The Depositor and the Trustees hereby agree as
follows:

                  1. The trust created hereby (the "Trust") shall be known as
"Visteon Capital Trust I" in which name the Trustees, or the Depositor to the
extent provided herein, may engage in the transactions contemplated hereby, make
and execute contracts, and sue and be sued.

                  2. The Depositor hereby assigns, transfers, conveys and sets
over to the Trustees the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00). The Trustees hereby
acknowledge receipt of such amount from the Depositor, which amount shall
constitute the initial trust estate. The Trustees hereby declare that they will
hold the trust estate for the Depositor subject to the terms hereof. It is the
intention of the parties hereto that the Trust created hereby constitute a
business trust under Chapter 38 of Title 12 of the Delaware Code, 12 Del. C.
Section 3801, et seq. (the "Business Trust Act"), and that this document
constitute the governing instrument of the Trust. The Trustees are hereby
authorized and directed to execute and file a certificate of trust with the
Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of the Business
Trust Act.

                  3. The Depositor and the Trustees will enter into an Amended
and Restated Trust Agreement (herein, the "Amended and Restated Trust
Agreement"), satisfactory to each such party and substantially in the form
included as an exhibit to the 1933 Act Registration Statement (as defined
below), to provide for the contemplated operation of the Trust created hereby
and the issuance of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities referred to
therein. Prior to the execution and delivery of such Amended and Restated Trust
Agreement, the Trustees shall not have any duty or obligation hereunder or with
respect to the trust estate, except as otherwise required by applicable law or
as may be necessary to obtain prior to such execution and delivery of any
licenses, consents or approvals required by applicable law or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees may take all actions deemed proper
and necessary to effect the transactions contemplated herein.

                  4. The Depositor, as the agent of the Trust, is hereby
authorized (i) to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") and execute, in each case on behalf of the Trust, (a) the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "1933 Act Registration Statement")
(including any pre-effective or post-effective amendments to the 1933 Act
Registration Statement) relating to the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), of the Preferred Securities of the Trust and
certain other securities; (b) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus or
supplement thereto relating to the Preferred Securities required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; and (c) a Registration Statement on






Form 8-A (the "1934 Act Registration Statement") (including all pre-effective
and post-effective amendments thereto) relating to the registration of the
Preferred Securities of the Trust under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended; (ii) to file with the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange
(each, an "Exchange") and execute on behalf of the Trust one or more listing
applications and all other applications, statements, certificates, agreements
and other instruments as shall be necessary or desirable to cause the Preferred
Securities to be listed on any of the Exchanges; (iii) to file and execute on
behalf of the Trust such applications, reports, surety bonds, irrevocable
consents, appointments of attorney for service of process and other papers and
documents as shall be necessary or desirable to register the Preferred
Securities under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the
Depositor, on behalf of the Trust, may deem necessary or desirable; (iv) to
execute and deliver letters or documents to, or instruments for filing with, a
depository for the Preferred Securities of the Trust; and (v) to execute on
behalf of the Trust one or more underwriting agreements relating to the
Preferred Securities, among the Trust, the Depositor and the underwriter(s)
named therein, substantially in the form included as an exhibit to the 1933 Act
Registration Statement. In the event that any filing referred to in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) above is required by the rules and regulations of the Commission,
an Exchange or state securities or blue sky laws, to be executed on behalf of
the Trust by one or more of the Trustees, each of the Trustees, in its or her
capacity as a trustee of the Trust, is hereby authorized and, to the extent so
required, directed to join in any such filing and to execute on behalf of the
Trust any and all of the foregoing, it being understood that Bank One Delaware,
Inc. and Bank One Trust Company, N.A., in their capacity as trustees of the
Trust shall not be required to join in any such filing or execute on behalf of
the Trust any such document unless required by the rules and regulations of the
Commission, the Exchange or state securities or blue sky laws. In connection
with the filings referred to above, the Depositor and Mary Winston, as a trustee
and not in her individual capacity, hereby constitute and appoint Peter J.
Pestillo, Stacy L. Fox and Daniel R. Coulson and each of them, as its and their
true and lawful attorneys-in-fact and agents, with full power of substitution
and resubstitution, for the Depositor or such Trustee or in the Depositor's or
such Trustees' name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to sign any and
all amendments (including post-effective amendments) to the 1933 Act
Registration Statement and the 1934 Act Registration Statement and to file the
same, with all exhibits thereto, and other documents in connection therewith,
with the Commission, the Exchange and administrators of the state securities or
blue sky laws, granting unto said attorneys-in-fact and agents full power and
authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary
to be done in connection therewith, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
Depositor or such Trustee might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and
confirming all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents or any of them, or their
respective substitute or substitutes, shall do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof.

                  5. The number of Trustees initially shall be three (3) and
thereafter the number of Trustees shall be such number as shall be fixed from
time to time by a written instrument signed by the Depositor which may increase
or decrease the number of Trustees; provided, however, that to the extent
required by the Business Trust Act, one Trustee shall either be a natural person
who is a resident of the State of Delaware or, if not a natural person, an
entity which has its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and
otherwise meets the requirements of applicable Delaware law. Subject to the
foregoing, the Depositor is entitled to appoint or remove without cause any
Trustee at any time. The Trustees may resign upon thirty (30) days' prior notice
to the Depositor. The Delaware Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise


                                       2



any powers, nor shall the Delaware Trustee have any of the duties and
responsibilities of any other Trustee, or any of the duties and responsibilities
of the Trustees generally, set forth herein. The Delaware Trustee shall be one
of the trustees of the Trust for the sole and limited purpose of fulfilling the
requirements of Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Business Trust Act and for
taking such actions as are required to be taken by a Delaware trustee under the
Delaware Business Trust Act.

                  6. This Trust Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to "conflict
of laws" principles).

                  7.       (a) The Trustees and their officers, directors,
         agents and servants (collectively, the "Fiduciary Indemnified Persons")
         shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise
         to the Trust, the Depositor, the Trustees or any holder of the
         Preferred Securities (the Trust, the Depositor and any holder of the
         Preferred Securities being a "Covered Person") for any loss, damage or
         claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by
         the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons in good faith on behalf of the Trust
         and in a manner the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons reasonably believed
         to be within the scope of authority conferred on the Fiduciary
         Indemnified Persons by this Trust Agreement or by law, except that the
         Fiduciary Indemnified Persons shall be liable for any such loss, damage
         or claim incurred by reason of the Fiduciary Indemnified Person's gross
         negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or
         omissions.

                           (b) The Fiduciary Indemnified Persons shall be fully
         protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Trust and
         upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the
         Trust by any person as to matters the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons
         reasonably believe are within such other person's professional or
         expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or
         on behalf of the Trust, including information, opinions, reports or
         statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities,
         profits, losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and
         amount of assets from which distributions to holders of Preferred
         Securities might properly be paid.

                           (c) The Depositor agrees, to the fullest extent
         permitted by applicable law, (i) to indemnify and hold harmless each
         Fiduciary Indemnified Person from and against any loss, damage,
         liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature
         whatsoever incurred by the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons by reason of
         the creation, operation or termination of the Trust in a manner the
         Fiduciary Indemnified Persons reasonably believed to be within the
         scope of authority conferred on the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons by
         this Trust Agreement, except that no Fiduciary Indemnified Persons
         shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage,
         liability, tax, penalty, expense or claim incurred by the Fiduciary
         Indemnified Persons by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct
         with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) to advance expenses
         (including legal fees) incurred by a Fiduciary Indemnified Person in
         defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, from time to
         time, prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action,
         suit or proceeding, upon receipt by the Trust of an undertaking by or
         on behalf of such Fiduciary Indemnified Persons to repay


                                       3



         such amount if it shall be determined that such Fiduciary Indemnified
         Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in the preceding
         subsection.

                           (d) The provisions of Section 7 shall survive the
         resignation or removal of the Fiduciary Indemnified Persons or the
         termination of this Trust Agreement.

                  8. This Trust Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Trust
Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price. [Insert, if applicable: The Property Trustee shall be fully protected and shall not incur any liability in making any overpayment or excess deposit with the Clearing Agency on any Redemption Date which may arise as a result of the election by a Holder to convert Trust Securities in accordance with Section 4.8 below.] (d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Preferred Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, with respect to Book-Entry Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Preferred Securities, to the extent -18- available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities. With respect to Preferred Securities that are not Book-Entry Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available therefor, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders of the Preferred Securities upon surrender of their Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable in respect of the Trust Securities on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate, as set forth in Section 7.1, from the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

The particular Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Liquidation Amounts not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption, provided that so long as the Preferred Securities are in book-entry-only form, such selection shall be made in accordance with the customary procedures for the Clearing Agency for the Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Preferred Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Preferred Securities shall relate, in the case of any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities that has been or is to be redeemed. -19- SECTION 4.3. RANKING OF COMMON SECURITIES. (a) Payment of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, the Redemption Price of, and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 4.2(e), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities based on the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date, Redemption Date or Liquidation Date any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) of the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution (including any Additional Amounts) on, Redemption Price of, or Liquidation Distribution in respect of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on all Outstanding Preferred Securities for all Distribution Periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Preferred Securities then called for redemption, or in the case of payment of the Liquidation Distribution the full amount of such Liquidation Distribution on all Outstanding Preferred Securities, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) on, or the Redemption Price of, the Preferred Securities then due and payable. (b) In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default resulting from any Debenture Event of Default, the Holders of the Common Securities shall have no right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all such Events of Default under this Trust Agreement with respect to the Preferred Securities have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and not on behalf of the Holders of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf. SECTION 4.4. PAYMENT PROCEDURES. Payments of Distributions (including any Additional Amounts) in respect of the Preferred Securities shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the Preferred Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holders of the Common Securities. SECTION 4.5.

SECTION 4.6. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES OF THE TRUST. The Depositor shall pay to the Trust, and reimburse the Trust for, the full amount of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trust (other than obligations of the Trust to pay the Holders of any Preferred Securities or other similar interests in the Trust the amounts due such Holders pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Securities or such other similar interests, as the case may be), including, without limitation, any taxes, duties or other governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed on the Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority. Such payment obligation includes any such costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trust that are required by applicable law to be satisfied in connection with a dissolution of the Trust. SECTION 4.7. PAYMENTS UNDER INDENTURE OR PURSUANT TO DIRECT ACTIONS. Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities (or any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or Owner) has directly received pursuant to the Indenture or Section 5.14 of this Trust Agreement. [Insert, if applicable: SECTION 4.8. Conversion. The Holders of Trust Securities, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section, shall have the right at any time prior to the close of business on______________ (or, in the case of Trust Securities called for redemption, prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date), at their option, to cause the Conversion Agent to convert Trust Securities, on behalf of the converting Holders, into shares of Common Stock in the manner described herein on and subject to the following terms and conditions: (a) The Trust Securities will be convertible into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Holder's direction to the Conversion Agent to exchange such Trust Securities for a Like Amount of the Debentures, and immediately convert such amount of Debentures into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate then applicable to the Debentures after taking account of any adjustments to such rate provided for in the Debentures (as so adjusted, the "Conversion Price"). (b) In order to convert Trust Securities into Common Stock, the Holder of such Trust Securities shall submit to the Conversion Agent an irrevocable Notice of Conversion to convert Trust Securities on behalf of such Holder, together, if the Trust Securities are represented by -21- Definitive Preferred Security Certificates as contemplated by Section 5.13, with such certificates. The Notice of Conversion shall (x) set forth the number of Trust Securities to be converted and the name or names, if other than the Holder, in which the shares of Common Stock should be issued and (y) direct the Conversion Agent (a) to exchange such Trust Securities for a portion of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee (at the rate of exchange specified in the preceding paragraph (a)) and (b) to immediately convert such Debentures, on behalf of such Holder, into Common Stock (at the conversion rate specified in the preceding paragraph (a)). The Conversion Agent shall notify the Property Trustee in writing of the Holder's election to exchange Trust Securities for a portion of the Debentures held by the Property Trustee and the Property Trustee shall, upon receipt of such notice, deliver to the Conversion Agent the appropriate principal amount of Debentures for exchange in accordance with this Section. The Conversion Agent shall thereupon notify the Depositor of the Holder's election to convert such Debentures into shares of Common Stock. Holders of Trust Securities at the close of business on a Distribution payment record date will be entitled to receive the Distribution paid on such Trust Securities on the corresponding Distribution Date notwithstanding the conversion of such Trust Securities following such record date but prior to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that each Holder of Trust Securities to be exchanged for Debentures to be converted into Common Stock (other than a Trust Security called for redemption on a Redemption Date occurring after such record date and prior to such Distribution Date) shall deliver to the Property Trustee, for subsequent payment to the Conversion Agent in connection with the exchange and conversion of such Trust Securities, an amount equal to such Distribution payable on such Trust Securities on such Distribution Date. The Property Trustee shall have no liability to any Person with respect to the failure by any Holder of a Trust Security to deliver such amount to the Property Trustee. Except as provided above, neither the Trust nor the Depositor will make, or be required to make, any payment, allowance or adjustment upon any conversion on account of any accumulated and unpaid Distributions whether or not in arrears accrued on the Trust Securities surrendered for conversion, or on account of any accumulated and unpaid dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion. Trust Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which an irrevocable Notice of Conversion relating to such Trust Securities is received by the Conversion Agent in accordance with the foregoing provision (the "Conversion Date"). The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock on the Conversion Date, unless the stock transfer books of the Depositor shall be closed on the Conversion Date in which event such Person or Persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Depositor shall issue and deliver, or shall cause to be issued and delivered, at the office of the Conversion Agent a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of any fraction of any share pursuant to Section 4.08(d) to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same, unless otherwise directed by the Holder in the Notice of Conversion, and the Conversion Agent shall distribute such certificate or certificates and cash to such Person or Persons. (c) The Depositor initially appoints _______________, not in its individual capacity but solely as conversion agent (the "Conversion Agent"), for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Trust Securities in accordance with this Section 4.8. In effecting the conversion -22- and transactions described in this Section 4.8, the Conversion Agent shall be acting as agent of the Holders of Trust Securities directing it to effect such conversion transactions. The Conversion Agent is hereby authorized to (i) exchange Trust Securities from time to time for Debentures held by the Trust in connection with the conversion of such Trust Securities in accordance with this Section and (ii) convert all or a portion of the Debentures into Common Stock and thereupon to deliver such shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.8 and to deliver to the Property Trustee any new Debenture or Debentures for any resulting unconverted principal amount delivered to the Conversion Agent by the Debenture Trustee. (d) No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of conversion, but, in lieu thereof, such fractional interest will be paid in cash by the Depositor to the Conversion Agent in an amount equal to the Current Market Price of the fractional share of the Common Stock, and the Conversion Agent will in turn make such payment to the Holder or Holders of Trust Securities so converted. (e) Nothing in this Section 4.8 shall limit the requirement of the Trust to withhold taxes pursuant to the terms of the Trust Securities or as set forth in this Agreement or otherwise required of the Property Trustee or by law or the Trust to pay any amounts on account of such withholdings. ] ARTICLE 5 TRUST SECURITIES CERTIFICATES SECTION 5.1.

Such Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates shall initially be registered on the Securities Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Owner will receive a Definitive Preferred Securities Certificate representing such Owner's interest in such Preferred Securities, except as provided in Section 5.13. Unless and until Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates have been issued to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13: (i) the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) shall be in full force and effect; (ii) the Securities Registrar and the Trustees shall be entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes of this Trust Agreement relating to the Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates (including the payment of the Liquidation Amount of and Distributions on the Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates and the giving of instructions or directions to Owners of Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates) as the sole Holder of Preferred Securities evidenced by Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates and shall have no obligations to the Owners thereof; (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.11 conflict with any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall control; and (iv) the rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificate shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Pursuant to the Certificate Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.13, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments on the Preferred Securities to such Clearing Agency Participants. (b) The Common Securities Certificate or Certificates representing the Common Securities issuable pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be issued to the Depositor in the form of one or more definitive Common Securities Certificates. SECTION 5.12. NOTICES TO CLEARING AGENCY. To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Holders is required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Preferred Securities are represented by a Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates, the Administrative Trustees and the Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners. SECTION 5.13. DEFINITIVE PREFERRED SECURITIES CERTIFICATES. If (a) the Depositor advises the Trustees in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Preferred Securities Certificates, and the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor at its -27- option advises the Trustees in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (c) after the occurrence of a Debenture Event of Default, Owners of Preferred Securities Certificates representing beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority in Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities then Outstanding advise the Administrative Trustees in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interest of the Owners of Preferred Securities Certificates, then the Administrative Trustees shall notify the other Trustees and the Clearing Agency, and the Clearing Agency, in accordance with its customary rules and procedures, shall notify all Clearing Agency Participants for whom it holds Preferred Securities of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates to Owners of such class or classes, as applicable, requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Administrative Trustees of the typewritten Preferred Securities Certificate or Certificates representing the Book-Entry Preferred Securities Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, shall execute the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Clearing Agency, if executed on behalf of the Trust by facsimile, countersigned by the Securities Registrar or its agent. Neither the Securities Registrar nor the Trustees shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates, the Trustees shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates as holders of Trust Securities. The Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or may be produced in any other manner as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees that meets the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or approved for trading, as evidenced by the execution thereof by the Administrative Trustees or any one of them. SECTION 5.14. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS; DIRECT ACTIONS AND WAIVERS OF PAST DEFAULTS. (a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust. The Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. (b) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Debenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Property Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have the right to make such -28- declaration by a notice in writing to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Debenture Trustee as in the Indenture provided, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Depositor and the Debenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Depositor has paid or deposited with the Debenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue installments of interest on all of the Debentures, (B) any accrued Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture) on all of the Debentures, (C) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debentures that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest and Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture) thereon at the rate borne by the Debentures, and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Debenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Debenture Trustee and the Property Trustee, their agents and counsel; and (ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Debentures, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Debentures that has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture Trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision that under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of any part of the Preferred Securities a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Preferred Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to -29- join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day that is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice that has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.14(b). (c) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) of the Indenture, any Holder of Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to Section 508 of the Indenture, for enforcement of payment to such Holder of any amounts payable in respect of Debentures having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holder (a "Direct Action"). Except as set forth in Section 5.14(b) and this Section 5.14(c), the Holders of Preferred Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Debentures. (d) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 5.14, the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any past default or Event of Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Event of Default arising there from shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 5.15. CUSIP NUMBERS. The Administrative Trustees in issuing the Preferred Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Property Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Preferred Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Preferred Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Administrative Trustees will promptly notify the Property Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers. -30- ARTICLE 6 ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING SECTION 6.1. LIMITATIONS ON VOTING RIGHTS. (a) Except as expressly provided in this Trust Agreement and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management of the Trust or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Holders from time to time as partners or members of an association. (b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or execute any trust or power conferred on the Debenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that may be waived under the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable, or (iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or the Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Preferred Securities of any notice of default received with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such action shall not cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. (c) If any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for, or the Trustees otherwise propose to effect, (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution and winding-up of the Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Preferred Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, it would cause the Trust to be taxable as a corporation or classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes. -31- SECTION 6.2. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Notice of all meetings of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of Preferred Securities, at such Holder's registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice. SECTION 6.3. MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF THE PREFERRED SECURITIES. No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities to vote on any matters as to which such Holders are entitled to vote. The Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Holders of the Preferred Securities. If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders present, in person or by proxy, holding Preferred Securities representing at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities held by the Holders present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes. SECTION 6.4. VOTING RIGHTS. Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $______ of Liquidation Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote. SECTION 6.5. PROXIES, ETC. At any meeting of Holders, any Holder entitled to vote thereat may vote by proxy, provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Property Trustee, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the Property Trustee may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution. -32- SECTION 6.6. HOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Any action that may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if Holders holding at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of all Preferred Securities entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any other provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing. SECTION 6.7. RECORD DATE FOR VOTING AND OTHER PURPOSES. For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrative Trustees may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a Distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such purposes. SECTION 6.8. ACTS OF HOLDERS. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Property Trustee. 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 Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustees, if made in the manner provided in this Section. (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that any Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient. The ownership of Trust Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register. (c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Trust Security and the Holder of every Trust 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 Trustees, or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made -33- upon such Trust Security. Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount. If any dispute shall arise between the Holders and the Trustees or among the Holders or the Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder or Trustee under this Article 6, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter. SECTION 6.9. INSPECTION OF RECORDS. Upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection by Holders during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder's interest as a Holder.

CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement, subject to Section 10.10 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require any of the Trustees to expend or risk its or their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its or their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its or their rights or powers, if it or they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustees shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.1. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Administrative Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the Trust or to the Holders, such Administrative Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder for such Administrative Trustee's good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees. (b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from the Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that the Trustees are not personally liable to such Holder for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Trustees expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement or, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act. (c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall enforce this Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Holders. (d) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.14), the Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. -36- (e) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred: (A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10); and (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Property Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Trust Agreement; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof or of the Trust Indenture Act are specifically required to be furnished to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Trust Agreement; (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (iii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement; (iv) the Property Trustee's sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the Payment Account shall be to deal with such property in a similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act; (v) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Depositor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent otherwise required by law; (vi) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor with their respective duties -37- under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Trustee, the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor; and (vii) subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Property Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Trust Agreement or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (f) The Administrative Trustees shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the other Trustees or the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall either Administrative Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Trustee or the Depositor. SECTION 8.2. CERTAIN NOTICES. Within ninety days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8 and the Trust Indenture Act, notice of such Event of Default to the Holders and the Administrative Trustees, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived. Within five Business Days after the receipt of notice of the Depositor's exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders and the Administrative Trustees, unless such exercise shall have been revoked. The Property Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless the Property Trustee shall have received written notice or a Responsible Officer of the Property Trustee charged with the administration of this Trust Agreement shall have obtained actual knowledge of such Event of Default. SECTION 8.3. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF PROPERTY TRUSTEE. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1: (a) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any -38- other provisions contained herein, or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders of the Preferred Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting the Depositor's opinion as to the course of action to be taken; provided, however, that if the Depositor fails to deliver such opinion, the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct; (c) any direction or act of the Depositor contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate; (d) any direction or act of an Administrative Trustee contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by a certificate executed by such Administrative Trustee and setting forth such direction or act;

(i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys, provided that the Property Trustee shall be responsible for its own negligence or misconduct with respect to selection of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder; -39- (j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders (which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same proportion in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are received, and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions;

Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely: (a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more Administrative Trustees, and the Preferred Securities shall be delivered by the Property Trustee, and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Property Trustee specified hereunder shall be exercised solely by the Property Trustee and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee. (b) The rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee. (c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section 8.9, and, in case a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor.

RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. No resignation or removal of any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee") and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 8 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holder of the Common Securities. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Depositor, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Relevant Trustee. Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holder of Common Securities. If a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at such time by Act of the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust). An Administrative Trustee may be removed by Act of the Holder of Common Securities at any time and only the Holder of Common Securities shall have the right to remove any Administrative Trustee. If any Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Trustee, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Trustee for any cause, at a time when no Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of Common Securities, by Act of the Holder of Common Securities delivered to the retiring Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of Preferred Securities, by Act of the Holders of a majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If an Administrative Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Administrative Trustee, at a time when a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder of Common Securities, by Act of the Holder of Common Securities delivered to the Administrative Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Administrative Trustee or Administrative Trustees and such successor Administrative Trustee or Trustees shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If no successor Relevant Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Holder of Common Securities or the Holders of Preferred Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, any Holder who has been a Holder of Trust Securities 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 Relevant Trustee. -44- The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give notice to the Depositor and to the Administrative Trustees. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, if any Administrative Trustee or Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holders of the Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, or in the case of an Administrative Trustee, ceases to be an employee of the Depositor, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by (a) the unanimous act of the remaining Administrative Trustees if there are at least two of them or (b) otherwise by the Depositor (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrative Trustees or Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, set forth in Section 8.7. SECTION 8.11. ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR. In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, such successor Relevant Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trust and to the retiring Relevant Trustee any instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective and such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee, but, on the request of the Depositor or the successor Relevant Trustee, such retiring Relevant Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Relevant Trustee and if the Property Trustee is the resigning Relevant Trustee, the Property Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Property Trustee all Trust Property and money held by such retiring Property Trustee hereunder. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee (if requested by the Depositor) and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust, and (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee, other than the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Trust to the extent required under the Delaware Business Trust Act; but, on request of the Depositor or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all -45- proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust. Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. No successor Relevant Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Relevant Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 8. Upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor to the Delaware Trustee, such successor Delaware Trustee shall file a certificate of amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State identifying the new identity and principal place of business or residency of such successor Delaware Trustee in the State of Delaware. SECTION 8.12. MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. Any Person into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware 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 such Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or any Person, succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of such Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 8, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, other than the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Trust to the extent required under the Delaware Business Trust Act. SECTION 8.13. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST DEPOSITOR OR TRUST. If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor or the Trust (or any other obligor upon the Preferred Securities) as set forth in Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or the Trust (or any such other obligor). SECTION 8.14. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar judicial proceeding relative to the Trust or any other obligor upon the Trust Securities or the property of the Trust or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Property Trustee (irrespective of whether any Distributions on the Trust Securities shall then be due and payable and irrespective of whether the Property Trustee shall have made any demand on the Trust for the payment of any past due Distributions) shall be entitled and empowered, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: -46- (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any Distributions owing and unpaid in respect of the Trust Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Property Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (b) 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 Property Trustee and, in the event the Property Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Property Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Property Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Property Trustee. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Property Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement adjustment or compensation affecting the Trust Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Property Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 8.15. REPORTS BY PROPERTY TRUSTEE. (a) Within 60 days after May 15 of each year commencing with May 15, 20___, the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Holders in accordance with Section 10.8, and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as of the immediately preceding May 15 with respect to: (i) its eligibility under Section 8.7 or, in lieu thereof, if to the best of its knowledge it has continued to be eligible under said Section, a written statement to such effect; (ii) a statement that the Property Trustee has complied with all of its obligations under this Trust Agreement during the twelve-month period (or, in the case of the initial report, the period since the Closing Date) ending with such May 15 or, if the Property Trustee has not complied in any material respect with such obligations, a description of such noncompliance; and (iii) any change in the property and funds in its possession as Property Trustee since the date of its last report and any action taken by the Property Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder which it has not previously reported and which in its opinion materially affects the Trust Securities.

DISSOLUTION UPON EXPIRATION DATE. Unless earlier dissolved, the Trust shall automatically dissolve, and its affairs be wound up, on ________________________ (the "Expiration Date"). SECTION 9.2. EARLY DISSOLUTION. The first to occur of any of the following events is an "Early Dissolution Event", the occurrence of which shall cause the Trust to dissolve: (a) the occurrence of a Depositor Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Depositor, in its capacity as the Holder of the Common Securities, unless the Depositor shall transfer the Common Securities as provided by Section 5.10, in which case this provision shall refer instead to any such successor Holder of the Common Securities; (b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from all of the Holders of the Common Securities at any time to dissolve the Trust and to distribute the Debentures to Holders in exchange for the Preferred Securities (which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Holders of the Common Securities); (c) the redemption or, if applicable, conversion of all of the Preferred Securities in connection with the redemption of all the Debentures; and (d) the entry of an order for dissolution of the Trust by a court of competent jurisdiction. SECTION 9.3. DISSOLUTION. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustees, the Administrative Trustees and the Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.4, or upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2; (b) the payment of any expenses owed by the Trust; and (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrative Trustees, including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Trust or the Holders. SECTION 9.4. LIQUIDATION. (a) If an Early Dissolution Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date, the Trust shall be liquidated by the Property Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Holder a Like Amount of Debentures, subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 -49- days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. All such notices of liquidation shall: (i) state the CUSIP Number of the Trust Securities; (ii) state the Liquidation Date; (iii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, a right to receive a Liquidating Distribution; and (iv) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies, receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Property Trustee (after consultation with the Administrative Trustees) shall deem appropriate. (b) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Debentures to Holders, the Property Trustee, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 30 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates. (c) Except where Section 9.2(c) or 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such Certificates to the exchange agent for exchange, (iii) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid Distributions on such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to such Debentures) and (iv) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates. (d) If, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise or distribution of the Debentures in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be wound-up, by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such winding up, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to -50- the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holders of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding up pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) of the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities as provided in Section 4.3.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We are acting as counsel to Visteon Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") being filed today by the Company and Visteon Capital
Trust I, a statutory business trust formed under Delaware law (the "Trust") with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration
Statement covers $800,000,000 in aggregate amount of the following securities,
in one or more series:

          (a) debt securities of the Company (the "Debt Securities") issuable
from time to time under either an Amended and Restated Indenture between the
Company and Bank One Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), or a
Subordinated Indenture between the Company and the Trustee, in the form filed as
Exhibit 4.1 or Exhibit 4.2, respectively, to the Registration Statement (each,
an "Indenture");

         (b) preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company
("Preferred Stock");

         (c) depositary shares, each representing a fraction of a share of
Preferred Stock ("Depositary Shares"), to be evidenced by depositary receipts
(the "Depositary Receipts") issued pursuant to a Deposit Agreement among the
Company, a bank or trust company selected by the Company to act as a depositary
(the "Depositary") and the holders from time to time of the Depositary Receipts
(the "Deposit Agreement");

         (d) common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company ("Common
Stock");

         (e) warrants to purchase Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Depositary
Shares or Common Stock ("Warrants");



[FOLEY & LARDNER LOGO]

Visteon Corporation

Page 2

         (f) trust preferred securities of the Trust ("Trust Preferred
Securities") and the related guarantee by the Company (the "Trust Guarantee");

         (g) stock purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to
purchase shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Depositary Shares at a
future date or dates ("Purchase Contracts"); and

         (h) units consisting of a Purchase Contract and Debt Securities, Trust
Preferred Securities or debt obligations of third parties, in each case securing
the holder's obligation under a Purchase Contract ("Units" and, together with
the Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares, Common Stock, Warrants,
Trust Preferred Securities, Trust Guarantee and Purchase Contracts,
"Securities").

         In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined (i) an unexecuted
copy of each Indenture, (ii) an unexecuted copy of the Trust Guarantee and (iii)
copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Amended and
Restated By-Laws of the Company, certain resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Company and such other corporate records of the Company and
such other documents as we have considered necessary or appropriate as a basis
for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In this connection, we have assumed
that:

         (a) the Securities Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Pricing Committee") will have taken action by appropriate
proceedings (i) to fix the forms and terms of one or more issues of Securities
up to a maximum aggregate amount of $800,000,000, (ii) to authorize the Company
to execute and deliver the Securities and, as applicable, one or both
Indentures, the certificate of designations relating to the Preferred Stock (the
"Certificate of Designations"), the Depositary Receipts, the Deposit Agreement,
the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants (the "Warrant Agreement") or such
other agreement, if any, pursuant to which the Securities are to be issued (the
Indentures, the Certificate of Designations, the Depositary Receipts, the
Deposit Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and any such other agreement being
referred to herein collectively as the "Securities Agreements") and (iii) to
authorize the issuance and sale of the Securities;

         (b) the Securities so authorized by the Pricing Committee and the
related Securities Agreement will have been duly executed by the Company and the
other parties thereto;

         (c) the Securities so authorized by the Pricing Committee will have
been duly issued, sold and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with
such authorization and the applicable Securities Agreement and in the manner
contemplated by the Registration Statement and the applicable prospectus
supplement;




[FOLEY & LARDNER LOGO]

Visteon Corporation

         (d) the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such state
and foreign securities laws as may be applicable will have been complied with;

         (e) (i) the Trust Preferred Securities will have been legally issued
and will be fully paid and non-assessable, (ii) the declaration of trust of the
Trust (the "Declaration of Trust") will have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by, and will constitute a valid, binding and enforceable obligation
of, the parties thereto and (iii) the Trust will have been duly organized and
will be validly existing in good standing as a business trust under the laws of
the State of Delaware; and

         (f) there will be a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common
Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, available at the time of issuance.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for such
legal considerations as we consider relevant, it is our opinion that:

         1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware.

         2. The Board of Directors of the Company has duly authorized the
Pricing Committee, empowering the Pricing Committee to fix the terms of one or
more issues of Securities up to a maximum aggregate of $800,000,000 and to
authorize the issue and sale of the Securities.

         3. When the applicable Indenture shall have been qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and Debt
Securities have been authenticated under the applicable Indenture, then such
Debt Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company,
entitled to the benefits provided by the applicable Indenture.

         4. When the Certificate of Designations has been filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and (with respect to Depositary
Shares only) the Depositary has duly executed the Depositary Receipts in
accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement (the Company having deposited
the Preferred Stock with the Depositary pursuant to the Deposit Agreement), then
the Preferred Stock will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable
(provided that the consideration paid therefor is not less than the par value
thereof), will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive
rights and will have the rights set forth in the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as further amended by the
Certificate of Designations, and the Depositary Shares will represent legal and
valid interests in shares of Preferred Stock.

         5. The Common Stock will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable (provided that the consideration paid therefor is not less than
the par value thereof).

         6. The Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

         7. When (a) the guarantee agreement pursuant to which the Trust
Guarantee is to be issued has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, (b)
the Declaration of Trust has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and
has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties
thereto, (c) making and performing the Trust Guarantee is necessary or
convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of the
Company and (d) the Trust Preferred Securities have been duly authorized for
issuance and duly executed, issued and delivered by duly authorized trustees of
the Trust against payment of the consideration therefor and authenticated, all
in the manner provided for in the Declaration of Trust, then the Trust Guarantee
will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms.

         8. The Purchase Contracts will constitute valid and binding obligations
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

         9. The Units will constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

         The opinions expressed above are subject to the following limitations
and qualifications:

         (a) Enforceability of the rights and remedies set forth in the
Securities and in the applicable Securities Agreement is subject, in each case,
to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and to the discretionary nature of specific performance, injunctive
relief and other equitable remedies, including the appointment of a receiver.

         (b) Enforceability of the Securities and the applicable Securities
Agreement is subject, in each case, to general principles of equity (regardless
of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law), including requirements of reasonableness and good faith in the exercise of
rights and remedies thereunder.

         (c) Although certain provisions of the Securities and the applicable
Securities Agreement may not be enforceable in whole or in part under the laws
of the State of Michigan, the inclusion of such provisions does not affect, in
any such case, the validity of the Securities

and Securities Agreement taken together, and the Securities and such Securities
Agreement contain, in each case, adequate provisions for enforcing payment of
the obligations evidenced thereby and for the practical realization of the
benefits intended to be provided thereby.

         (d) With respect to our opinion expressed in paragraph 1, we have
relied solely and without independent investigation upon certificates of the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware dated March 27, 2002.

         We call to your attention that certain of the Securities and Securities
Agreements are and will be expressly governed by their terms by the laws of the
State of New York. We do not purport to express any opinion herein concerning
any laws other than the internal laws of the State of Michigan, applicable
federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware. This opinion letter is limited to the specific issues
addressed herein and is predicated solely upon laws and regulations in existence
as of the current date and as they currently apply and to the facts as they
currently exist. We assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion
letter should such matters change by legislative action, judicial decision or
otherwise.

         We hereby consent to the use of this opinion letter as Exhibits 5.1 and
23.2 to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the heading
"Legal Opinions" in the Prospectus included therein. In giving this consent, we
do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required
under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder.

                                           Very truly yours,

                  Re:      Visteon Capital Trust I

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We have acted as special Delaware counsel for Visteon
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Visteon Capital Trust
I, a Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), in connection with the matters set
forth herein. At your request, this opinion is being furnished to you.

                  For purposes of giving the opinions hereinafter set forth, our
examination of documents has been limited to the examination of originals or
copies of the following:

                  (a) The Certificate of Trust of the Trust as filed in the
office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Secretary
of State") on April 1, 2002 (the "Certificate");

                  (b) The Trust Agreement of the Trust, dated as of April 1,
2002, among the Company, as depositor, and the trustees of the Trust named
therein;

                  (c) A form of Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the
Trust (including Exhibits A, B and C thereto) (the "Trust Agreement"), to be
entered into among the Company, as depositor, the trustees of the Trust named
therein, and the holders, from time to time, of undivided beneficial interests
in the assets of the Trust, attached as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
(as defined below);

                  (d) The Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration
Statement"), including a prospectus (the "Prospectus"), relating to the trust
preferred securities of the Trust






Visteon Capital Trust I

representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust (each, a
"Preferred Security" and collectively, the "Preferred Securities"), as proposed
to be filed by the Company and the Trust with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on or about April 2, 2002; and

                  (e) A Certificate of Good Standing for the Trust, dated April
1, 2002, obtained from the Secretary of State.

                  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are
used as defined in the Trust Agreement.

                  For purposes of this opinion, we have not reviewed any
documents other than the documents listed in paragraphs (a) through (e) above.
In particular, we have not reviewed any document (other than the documents
listed in paragraphs (a) through (e) above) that is referred to in or
incorporated by reference into the documents reviewed by us. We have assumed
that there exists no provision in any document that we have not reviewed that is
inconsistent with the opinions stated herein. We have conducted no independent
factual investigation of our own but rather have relied solely upon the
foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the
additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be
true, complete and accurate in all material respects.

                  With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed
(i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as authentic originals,
(ii) the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as
copies or forms, and (iii) the genuineness of all signatures.

                  For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed (i) that the
Trust Agreement and the Certificate are in full force and effect and have not
been amended, (ii) except to the extent provided in paragraph 1 below, that each
of the parties to the documents examined by us has been duly created, organized
or formed, as the case may be, and is validly existing in good standing under
the laws of the jurisdiction governing its creation, organization or formation,
(iii) the legal capacity of natural persons who are parties to the documents
examined by us, (iv) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us
has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its
obligations under, such documents, (v) that each of the parties to the documents
examined by us has duly authorized, executed and delivered such documents, (vi)
the receipt by each Person to whom a Preferred Security is to be issued by the
Trust (collectively, the "Preferred Security Holders") of a Preferred Securities
Certificate for such Preferred Security and the payment for the Preferred
Security acquired by it, in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the
Registration Statement, and (vii) that the




Visteon Capital Trust I

Page 3

Preferred Securities are issued and sold to the Preferred Security Holders in
accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Registration Statement. We have not
participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement and assume no
responsibility for its contents.

                  This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware
(excluding the securities laws of the State of Delaware), and we have not
considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction,
including federal laws and rules and regulations relating thereto. Our opinions
are rendered only with respect to Delaware laws and rules, regulations and
orders thereunder that are currently in effect.

                  Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such
questions of law and statutes of the State of Delaware as we have considered
necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications,
limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

                  1. The Trust has been duly created and is validly existing in
good standing as a business trust under the Delaware Business Trust Act.

                  2. The Preferred Securities will represent valid and, subject
to the qualifications set forth in paragraph 3 below, fully paid and
nonassessable undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust.

                  3. The Preferred Security Holders, as beneficial owners of the
Trust, will be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to
stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We note that the Preferred Security
Holders may be obligated to make payments as set forth in the Trust Agreement.

                  We consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement. In addition, we hereby consent to the use
of our name under the heading "Legal Opinions" in the Prospectus. In giving the
foregoing consents, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of
Persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. Except as stated
above, without our prior written consent, this opinion may not be furnished or
quoted to, or relied upon by, any other Person for any purpose.

                                             Very truly yours,

                       CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


We hereby consent to the incorporation by reference in this Registration
Statement on Form S-3 of our report dated January 16, 2002, except for Note 17,
