SECTION 11.06 WHEN SECURITIES DISREGARDED. In determining whether the
Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or by any Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect
common control with the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only
Securities that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Also,
subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time shall be
considered in any such determination.
SECTION 11.07 RULES BY TRUSTEE, PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. The Trustee may
make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Securityholders. The
Registrar and the Paying Agent or coregistrar may make reasonable rules for
their functions.
SECTION 11.08 LEGAL HOLIDAYS. A "Legal Holiday" is a Saturday, a Sunday or
a day on which banking institutions are not required to be open in the State of
New York. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the
next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue
for the intervening period. If a regular record date is a Legal Holiday, the
record date shall not be affected.

SECTION 11.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE

EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE
REQUIRED THEREBY.

obligations of the Company under the Securities or this Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their
creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder shall waive and release
all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration
for the issue of the Securities.

and the Securities shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in
