Common use of Indexed Notes Clause in Contracts

Indexed Notes. If so stated on the face hereof, the amount of principal, premium and/or interest payable in respect hereof will be determined with reference to the price or prices of specific commodities or stocks, or to the exchange rate of one or more designated currencies (including composite currencies) relative to an indexed currency or to such other price(s) or exchange rate(s), as specified on the face hereof. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER. State Street Bank and Trust Company has been appointed registrar for the Notes (the "Registrar," which term includes any successor registrar appointed by the Company), and the Registrar will maintain at its office at Two International Place, Boston, MA 02110 a register for the registration and transfer of Notes. This Note may be transferred at the aforesaid office of the Registrar by surrendering this Note for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Registrar and duly executed by the registered holder hereof in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon the Registrar shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, in exchange herefor, a new Note or Notes having identical terms and provisions for an equal aggregate principal amount in authorized denominations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, or as to which the holder thereof has elected to cause such Note to be repaid in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpaid portion of Notes being redeemed or repaid in part, or to register the transfer of or exchange Notes to the extent and during the period so provided in the Indenture with respect to the redemption of Notes. Notes are exchangeable at said office for other Notes of other authorized denominations of equal aggregate principal amount having identical terms and provisions. All such exchanges and transfers of Notes will be free of charge, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in connection therewith. All Notes surrendered for exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Registrar and executed by the registered holder in person or by the holder's attorney duly authorized in writing. The date of registration of any Note delivered upon any exchange or transfer of Notes shall be such that no gain or loss of interest results from such exchange or transfer. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen and such Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction thereof (together with the indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof as may be required in the premises) shall be delivered to the Registrar, a new Note of like tenor will be issued by the Company in exchange for the Note so mutilated or defaced, or in lieu of the Note so destroyed or lost or stolen, but, in the case of any destroyed or lost or stolen Note, only upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and the Company that such Note was destroyed or lost or stolen and, if required, upon receipt also of indemnity satisfactory to each of them. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the owner of the Note mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen. This Note, and any Note or Notes issued upon transfer or exchange hereof, is issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 or the minimum Authorized Denomination. If the Specified Currency shown on the face of this Note is other than U.S. Dollars, the authorized denominations shall be the amount of the Specified Currency for such Note equivalent, at the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such Specified Currency (the "Exchange Rate") on the sixth Business Day in The City of New York and in the country issuing such currency (or, for ECUs, Brussels) next preceding the date of issue of such Note, to U.S. $1,000 (rounded to the nearest 1,000 units of such Specified Currency) and any greater amount that is an integral multiple of 1,000 units of such Specified Currency.
