. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Property Trustee shall establish the Payment Account. The Property Trustee and any agent of the Property Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal with respect to the Payment Account for the purpose of making deposits in and withdrawals from the Payment Account in accordance with this Trust Agreement.

. Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and shall accrue from the date of original issuance, or the most recent Distribution Date (as defined herein) and, except in the event that the Depositor exercises its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2001 (which dates correspond to the interest payment dates on the Debentures), when, as and if available for payment by the Property Trustee, as further described in paragraph (c) of this Section 4.1. If any date on which Distributions are otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distributions shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such date until the next succeeding Business Day) with the same force and effect as if made on such date (each date on which Distributions are payable in accordance with this Section 4.1(a), a "Distribution Date").
.

. Payment of Distributions (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, and the Redemption Price (or the applicable Optional Redemption Price) of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made pro rata based on the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) no payment of any Distribution (including Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or the Redemption Price 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 Additional Amounts, if applicable) on all Outstanding Preferred Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price (or the applicable Optional Redemption Price) the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Preferred Securities then called for Redemption, shall have been made or provided for, and (ii) all funds immediately available to the Property Trustee shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions (or the applicable Additional Amounts, if applicable) on, or the Redemption Price (or the applicable Optional Redemption Price) of, Preferred Securities then due and payable.
. Payments 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 Security 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, in accordance with the Certificate Depositary Agreement, on the applicable Distribution Dates. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holder of the Common Securities.
.

The Administrative Trustees shall provide (or cause to be provided) the Depositor and the Property Trustee with a copy of all such returns, reports and schedules promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Trustees shall comply with United States Federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Securityholders under the Trust Securities.
. Upon receipt under the Debentures of Additional Sums, the Property Trustee, upon receipt of written notice from the Depositor or the Administrative Trustees, shall promptly pay from such Additional Sums any taxes, duties or governmental charges of whatsoever nature (other than withholding taxes), as indicated in such notice, imposed on the Trust by the United States or any other taxing authority.
. Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities (and any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (or Owner) has directly received pursuant to Section 5.08 of the Indenture in accordance with the terms of Section 6.8 hereof.
. Upon the formation of the Trust and until the issuance of the Trust Securities, and at any time during which no Trust Securities are Outstanding, the Depositor shall be the sole beneficial owner of the Trust.
. The Preferred Securities Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $50 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples of $50 in excess thereof, and the Common Securities Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $50 Liquidation Amount and integral multiples thereof. The consideration received by the Trust for the issuance of the Trust Securities shall constitute a contribution to the capital of the Trust and shall not constitute a loan to the Trust. Preferred Securities initially sold to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A Preferred Securities") initially will be represented by one or more certificates in registered, global form (collectively, the "Global Certificates"). The Trust Securities Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile signature of at least one Administrative Trustee and the Preferred Securities Certificates shall be authenticated by the Property Trustee. Trust Securities Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures shall have been affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trust, shall be validly issued and entitled to the benefit of this Trust Agreement, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them shall have ceased to be so authorized prior to the delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of delivery of such Trust Securities Certificates. A transferee of a Trust Securities Certificate shall become a Securityholder, and shall be entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Securityholder hereunder, upon due registration of such Trust Securities Certificate in such transferee's name pursuant to Section 5.4.
. On the Closing Date, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Trust and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its Chairman of the Board, any Vice Chairman, its President, any Executive Vice President or any Vice President, Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer or Controller without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations.
A Common Securities Certificate shall not be valid until executed by at least one Administrative Trustee. A Preferred Securities Certificate shall not be valid until executed by at least one Administrative Trustee and authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Property Trustee. The manual signature of the Property Trustee shall be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Securities Certificate has been authenticated under this Trust Agreement. Upon a written order of the Trust signed by one Administrative Trustee, the Property Trustee shall authenticate the Preferred Securities Certificates for original issue. The signature of any Administrative Trustee on the Trust Securities Certificates may be manual or facsimile.
The Property Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Trustees to authenticate Preferred Securities Certificates. An authenticating agent may authenticate Preferred Securities Certificates whenever the Property Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Trust Agreement to authentication by the Property Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Property Trustee to deal with the Depositor or an Affiliate with respect to the authentication of Preferred Securities.
. The Security Registrar shall keep or cause to be kept, at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.8, a Security Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Security Registrar shall provide for the registration of Preferred Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.10 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Property Trustee shall be the initial Security Registrar.
Subject to the other provisions of this Trust Agreement regarding restrictions on transfer, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred Security at an office or agency of the Depositor designated pursuant to Section 5.8 for such purpose, the Depositor shall execute, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Preferred Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Trust Agreement.
At the option of the Holder, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.4, Preferred Securities may be exchanged for other Preferred Securities of any authorized denomination and of a like Liquidation Amount, upon surrender of the Preferred Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Preferred Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Depositor shall execute, and the Property Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Preferred Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All Preferred Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Trust, evidencing the same rights, and entitled to the same benefits under this Trust Agreement, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Preferred Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so requested by the Depositor or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Depositor and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates, but the Security Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates.
. If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Security Registrar, or if the Security Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Security Registrar and the Administrative Trustees such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrative Trustees, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust shall execute and make available for authentication, where applicable, and delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section, the Security Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicative Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time.
. The Property Trustee and the Security Registrar shall treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Security Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving Distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Property Trustee nor the Security Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.
. The Administrative Trustees or the Depositor shall furnish or cause to be furnished (unless the Property Trustee is acting as Security Registrar with respect to the Trust Securities under the Trust Agreement) a list, in such form as the Property Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Securityholders as of the most recent record date (a) to the Property Trustee, quarterly at least 5 Business Days before each Distribution Date, and (b) to the Property Trustee, within 30 days after receipt by the Depositor of a request therefor from the Property Trustee in order to enable the Property Trustee to discharge its obligations under this Trust Agreement, in each case to the extent such information is in the possession or control of the Administrative Trustees or the Depositor and is not identical to a previously supplied list or has not otherwise been received by the Property Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar. The rights of Securityholders to communicate with other Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Trust Agreement or under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights of the Trustee shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act, except to the extent Section 3819 of the Delaware Business Trust Act would require greater access to such information, in which case the latter shall apply. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Trust Securities Certificate, and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
. The Security Registrar shall maintain in The City of Chicago an office or offices or agency or agencies where Preferred Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Security Registrar initially designates 2 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60602, Attention: Corporate Finance Unit, as its principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The Security Registrar shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the Securityholders of any change in the location of the Security Register or any such office or agency.
. In the event that the Preferred Securities are not in book--entry form only, the Trust shall maintain in the City of Chicago, an office or agency (the "Paying Agent") where the Preferred Securities may be presented for payment. The Paying Agent shall make Distributions to Securityholders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such Distributions to the Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose of making the Distributions referred to above. The Administrative Trustees may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent for any reason, including if such Trustees determine in their sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Property Trustee, and any co--paying agent chosen by the Property Trustee and acceptable to the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor in their sole discretion. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Property Trustee and the Depositor. In the event that the Property Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Administrative Trustees shall appoint a successor that is reasonably acceptable to the Property Trustee and the Depositor to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). Each successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustees that, as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Securityholders in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to each Securityholder. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 shall apply to the Property Trustee also in its role as Paying Agent, for so long as the Property Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co--paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.
. On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities shall be void. The Administrative Trustees shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating "THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW OR THE INDENTURE."
. Each Global Certificate authenticated under this Trust Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Clearing Agency designated by the Depositor for such Global Certificate or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Clearing Agency or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Certificate shall constitute a Preferred Security for all purposes of this Trust Agreement.
Upon the request of the Property Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Depositor shall cause as promptly as practicable to be made available to the Property Trustee a reasonable supply of Preferred Securities that are not in the form of Global Certificates. The Property Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, direction or request of the Clearing Agency or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article 5 if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
. To the extent that a notice or other communication to the Owners is required under this Trust Agreement, unless and until Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates shall have been issued to Owners pursuant to Section 5.13, the Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Owners to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to provide notices directly to the Owners.
. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, no Global Certificate may be exchanged in whole or in part for Preferred Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Certificate in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Clearing Agency for such Global Certificate or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Clearing Agency (A) has notified the Depositor that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Clearing Agency for such Global Certificate or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in either case the Trust and the Depositor thereupon fails to appoint a successor Clearing Agency within 90 days, (ii) the Depositor, at its option, notifies the Property Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of the Preferred Securities in certificated form or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default and the Holders of a majority in an aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities determine that such Global Certificate will be exchangeable for Certified Preferred Securities. In all cases, Certificated Preferred Securities delivered in exchange for any Global Certificate or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Clearing Agency (in accordance with its customary procedures).
. 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 Securityholders 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 Securityholders 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.
. The Global Certificate and the Certificated Preferred Securities that are Restricted Securities shall bear the following legend (the "Restricted Securities Legend") unless the Depositor determines otherwise in accordance with applicable law:
"THE PREFERRED SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY AND THE COMMON STOCK OF CUMMINS INC. ISSUABLE UPON THEIR CONVERSION AND THE DEBENTURES THAT MAY BE ISSUED IN EXCHANGE THEREFOR AND THE PREFERRED SECURITIES GUARANTEE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (2) IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION COMPLYING WITH RULE 903 OR 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (3) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR (4) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, IN EACH CASE, IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS."
. Except as provided in this Section, in Section 8.9 and 10.2 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 Securityholders from time to time as partners or members of an association.
. 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 Preferred Securityholder of record, at its 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.
. No annual meeting of Securityholders is required to be held. The Administrative Trustees, however, shall call a meeting of Securityholders to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Preferred Securityholders of record of 25% of the Preferred Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) and the Administrative Trustees or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of the Holders of Preferred Securities to vote on any matters as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.
Holders of record of 50% of the Preferred Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount), present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Securityholders.
If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders of record of Preferred Securities present, in person or by proxy, holding more than a majority of the Preferred Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) held by Holders of record of Preferred Securities present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Securityholders, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes.
. Securityholders shall be entitled to one vote for each $50 of Liquidation Amount represented by their Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Securityholders are entitled to vote. Notwithstanding that Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the Preferred Securities that are owned at such time by the Depositor, the Trustees or any affiliate of any Trustee shall, for purposes of such vote or consent, be treated as if such Preferred Securities were not outstanding.
At any meeting of Securityholders, any Securityholders 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 Administrative Trustees, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the Administrative Trustees may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Only Securityholders 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 represented 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 Securityholder 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.
. Any action which may be taken by Securityholders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if Securityholders holding more than a majority of all Outstanding Trust Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.
. For the purposes of determining the Securityholders 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 Property Trustee may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Securityholders or the payment of Distributions or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Securityholders of record for such purposes.
. 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 Securityholders or Owners may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders or Owners 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 an Administrative Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Securityholders or Owners 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.
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 the signer's individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the signer's 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 which any Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient.
The ownership of Preferred Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Securityholder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Securityholder of the same Trust Security and the Securityholder 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 upon such Trust Security.
Without limiting the foregoing, a Securityholder 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 Securityholders and the Administrative Trustees or among such Securityholders or Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Securityholder or Trustee under this Article 6, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.
Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the holders of Preferred Securities shall rely on the enforcement by the Property Trustee of its rights as holder of the Debentures against the Depositor. If the Property Trustee fails to enforce its rights as holder of the Debentures after a request therefor by a holder of Preferred Securities, such holder may proceed to enforce such rights directly against the Depositor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Depositor to pay interest or principal on the Debentures on the date such interest or principal is otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), then a holder of Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, for enforcement of payment to such holder of the principal amount of or interest on Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such holder after the respective due date specified in the Debentures (a "Direct Action"). In connection with any such Direct Action, the rights of the Depositor will be subrogated to the rights of any holder of the Preferred Securities to the extent of any payment made by the Depositor to such holder of Preferred Securities as a result of such Direct Action.
A Securityholder may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Depositor under the Guarantee to enforce its rights under the Guarantee without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Guarantee Trustee (as defined in the Guarantee), the Trust or any Person or entity.
Each Securityholder, by acceptance of a beneficial interest in the Preferred Securities, agrees to treat the Debentures as indebtedness for all United States federal, state and local tax purposes.
. Upon reasonable prior written notice to the Administrative Trustees and the Property Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection by Securityholders during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Securityholder's interest as a Securityholder.
. The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, each severally on behalf of and as to itself, hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the Depositor and the Securityholders that (each such representation and warranty made by the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee being made only with respect to itself):
. The Depositor hereby represents and warrants for the benefit of the Securityholders that:
. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustees shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, by the Trust Indenture Act. The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act and no implied covenants, duties or obligations shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 8.2) of which a responsible officer of the Property Trustee has actual knowledge, the Property Trustee shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent individual would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustees to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if 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. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release the Administrative Trustees from liability for their own negligent action, their own negligent failure to act, or their own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Administrative Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to the Securityholders, such Administrative Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Securityholder for such Administrative Trustee's good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement or advice of counsel. 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 Securityholders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Administrative Trustees.
. Within ten days after the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to an officer of the Property Trustee involved in the administration of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Event of Default to the holders of Preferred Securities, the Administrative Trustees and the Depositor, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, provided that, except for a default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Debentures, the Property Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or responsible officers of the Property Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Preferred Securities.
The provisions of Section 6.1(b) and this Section 8.2(c) shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Trust Agreement and the Preferred Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. Upon such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities arising therefrom 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 an Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities or impair any right consequent thereon. Any waiver by the Holders of the Preferred Securities of an Event of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities shall also be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Holders of the Common Securities of any such Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities for all purposes of this Trust Agreement without any further act, vote, or consent of the Holders of the Common Securities.
provided further, that each Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any such Event of Default and all Events of Default with respect to the Common Securities and its consequences until all Events of Default with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, and until such Events of Default have been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee will be deemed to be acting solely on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Securities. The provisions of Section 6.1(b) and this Section 8.2(d) shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act is hereby expressly excluded from this Trust Agreement and the Preferred Securities, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(d), upon such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default with respect to the Common Securities arising therefrom 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 with respect to the Common Securities or impair any right consequent thereon.
. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:
No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Property Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Property Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.
. The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates shall not be taken as the statements of the Trustees, and the Trustees do not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustees shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Debentures.
. Except as provided in the definition of the term "Outstanding" in Article 1, any Trustee or any other agent of any Trustee or the Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Securities and, subject to Section 8.8 and 8.12, may otherwise deal with the Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee or such other agent.
.
The Depositor agrees:
. There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Property Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
. If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Trust Agreement.
. Subject to Sections 8.9(b) and 8.9(c), any Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee") may be appointed or removed without cause at any time:
(1) until a Successor Property Trustee has been appointed and has accepted such appointment by instrument executed by such Successor Property Trustee and delivered to the Trust, the Depositor and the resigning Property Trustee; or
. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trust and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Depositor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and if the Property Trustee is the resigning Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Trustee all 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 and each successor Relevant Trustee shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which 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 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; but, on request of the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee, such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder.
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.
. Any corporation into which the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any Administrative Trustee that is not a natural person may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of such Relevant Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
. If and when the Property Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor or the Trust (or any other obligor upon the Debentures or the Trust Securities), the Property Trustee shall be subject to and shall take all actions necessary in order to comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or Trust (or any such other obligor).
. To the extent required by the Trust Indenture Act, within 60 days after December 31 of each year commencing with December 31, 2001 the Property Trustee shall transmit to all Securityholders in accordance with Section 10.8 and to the Depositor, a brief report dated as of such December 31 with respect to:
. The Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such documents, reports and information as required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act (if any) and the compliance certificate required by Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act in the form, in the manner and at the times required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Property Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Property Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Depositor's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Property Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers' Certificates).
. Each of the Depositor and the Administrative Trustees on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that relate to any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer pursuant to Section 314(c)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be given in the form of an Officers' Certificate.
. The number of Trustees shall be five, provided that the Holder of all of the Common Securities by written instrument may increase or decrease the number of Administrative Trustees. The Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same Person.
. Any Administrative Trustee may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section 2.7(a), including any registration statement or amendment thereof filed with the Commission, or making any other governmental filing.
.
. Unless earlier terminated, the Trust shall automatically terminate on June 15
. The first to occur of any of the following events is an "Early Termination Event":
. The respective obligations and responsibilities of the 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 Securityholders 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, of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the final payment of the Trust Securities; (b) the payment of all 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 Securityholders.
. If an Early Termination 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 Trustees as expeditiously as the Trustees determine to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, to each Securityholder an aggregate principal amount of Debentures equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities held by such Holder, subject to Section 9.4(d). Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first--class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder's address as it appears in the Security Register. All notices of liquidation shall:
. The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other Person, except pursuant to this Section 9.5. At the request of the Depositor, with the consent of the Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Holders of the Preferred Securities, the Trust may merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any State; provided, that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Trust with respect to the Trust Securities or (b) substitutes for the Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (the "Successor Securities") so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the Preferred Securities rank in priority with respect to Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) the Depositor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor entity, possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee, as the holder of the Debentures, (iii) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (v) such successor entity has a purpose identical to that of the Trust, (vi) prior to such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease the Depositor has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect (other than with respect to any dilution of the Holder's interest in the new entity) and (b) following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease neither the Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an "investment company" under the 1940 Act and (vii) the Depositor or any permitted successor or assignee owns all of the Common Securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of 100% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Trust or the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes.
. The death or incapacity of any person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in Trust Securities shall not operate to terminate this Trust Agreement, nor entitle the legal representatives or heirs of such person or any Securityholder for such person to claim an accounting, take any action or bring any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding--up of the arrangements contemplated hereby, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
. This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Trustees and the Depositor, without the consent of any Securityholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision herein that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Trust Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the other provisions of this Trust Agreement, (ii) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of this Trust Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary to ensure that the Trust will be classified for United States Federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust at all times that any Trust Securities are Outstanding or to ensure that the Trust will not be required to register as an "investment company" under the 1940 Act, or be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States Federal income tax purposes, or (iii) to maintain the qualification of this Trust Agreement under the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of clause (i), such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Securityholder, and, in the case of any of the foregoing, any amendments of this Trust Agreement shall become effective when notice thereof is given to the Securityholders.
. In case any provision in this Trust Agreement or in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
. THIS TRUST AGREEMENT AND THE TRUST SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.
. If the date fixed for any payment on any Trust Security shall be a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.2(d)), with the same force and effect as though made on the date fixed for such payment, and no interest shall accrue thereon for the period after such date.
. This Trust Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor to the Depositor, the Trust or the Relevant Trustee, including any successor by operation of law. Except in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale involving the Depositor that is permitted under Article 8 of the Indenture and pursuant to which the assignee agrees in writing to perform the Depositor's obligations hereunder, the Depositor shall not assign its obligations hereunder.
. The Article and Section headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Trust Agreement.

Any notice to Preferred Securityholders shall also be given to such Owners as have, within two years preceding the giving of such notice, filed their names and addresses with the Property Trustee for that purpose. Such notice, demand or other communication to or upon a Securityholder shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given, or made, for all purposes, upon hand delivery, mailing or transmission.

[Issue description, including CUSIP number (the "Securities")] |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter sets forth our understanding with respect to certain matters relating to the 7% Convertible Preferred Securities, Liquidation Amount $50 per Convertible Preferred Security (the "Preferred Securities"), of Cummins Capital Trust I, a Delaware business trust (the "Issuer"), created pursuant to an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, among Cummins Inc., as Depositor (the "Company"), BNY Midwest Trust Company, as Property Trustee, The Bank of New York (Delaware), as Delaware Trustee and the Administrative Trustees named therein. The payment of distributions on the Preferred Securities and payments due upon liquidation of the Issuer or redemption of the Preferred Securities, to the extent the Issuer has funds available for the payment thereof, are guaranteed by the Company to the extent set forth in a Guarantee Agreement to be entered into by the Company and BNY Midwest Trust Company, as Guarantee Trustee with respect to the Preferred Securities. The Company and the Issuer propose to sell the Preferred Securities to Goldman, Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. and Salomon Smith Barney Inc. (the "Purchasers") pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, dated June 12, 2001, among the Issuer, the Company and the Purchasers. The Purchasers shall take delivery of the Securities through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). Agent is acting as transfer agent, paying agent, and registrar with respect to the Securities.
To induce DTC to accept the Securities as eligible for deposit at DTC, and to act in accordance with its Rules with respect to the Securities, Issuer and Agent make the following representations to DTC:
1. Prior to closing on the Securities on June 18, 2001 there shall be deposited with DTC one or more Security certificates registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., for each of the Securities with the offering value(s) set forth on Schedule A hereto, the total of which represents 100% of the offering value of such Securities. If, however, the aggregate offering value of the Securities exceeds $400 million, one certificate shall be issued with respect to each $400 million of offering value and an additional certificate shall be issued with respect to any remaining offering value. Each Security certificate shall bear the following legend:
Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to Issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Issuer represents: [Note: Issuer must represent one of the following, and shall cross out the other.]
[The Security certificate(s) shall remain in Agent's custody as a "Balance Certificate" subject to the provisions of the Balance Certificate Agreement between Agent and DTC currently in effect.
On each day on which Agent is open for business and on which it receives an instruction originated by a DTC participant ("Participant") through DTC's Deposit/ Withdrawal at Custodian ("DWAC") system to increase the Participant's account by a specified number of Securities (a "Deposit Instruction"), Agent shall, no later than 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) that day, either approve or cancel the Deposit Instruction through the DWAC system.
On each day on which Agent is open for business and on which it receives an instruction originated by a Participant through the DWAC system to decrease the Participant's account by a specified number of Securities (a "Withdrawal Instruction"), Agent shall, no later than 6:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) that day, either approve or cancel the Withdrawal Instruction through the DWAC system.
Agent agrees that its approval of a Deposit or Withdrawal Instruction shall be deemed to be the receipt by DTC of a new reissued or reregistered certificated Security on registration of transfer to the name of Cede & Co. for the quantity of Securities evidenced by the Balance Certificate after the Deposit or Withdrawal Instruction is effected.]

SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE
DESCRIBING BOOK--ENTRY--ONLY ISSUANCE
(Prepared by DTC - bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)
1. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the "Securities"). The Securities will be issued as fully--registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully--registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $400 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $400 million of principal amount and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]
2. 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Direct Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book--entry changes in Direct 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 LLC, 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 a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
3. Purchases of Securities under 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 each Security ("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 purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect 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.
4. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
5. 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 will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners, or in the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them.]
[6. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]
7. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
8. Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts, upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividends to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
[9. A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant's interest in the Securities, on DTC's records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC's records and followed by a book--entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent's DTC account.]
10. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
11. Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book--entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered.
12. The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book--entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
REPRESENTATIONS FOR RULE 144A SECURITIES |
1. Issuer represents that at the time of initial registration in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., the Securities were Legally or Contractually Restricted Securities, eligible for transfer under Rule l44A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and identified by a CUSIP or CINS number assigned to any securities of the same class that were not Legally or Contractually Restricted Securities. Issuer shall ensure that a CUSIP or CINS identification number is obtained for all unrestricted securities of the same class that is different from any CUSIP or CINS identification number assigned to a Legally or Contractually Restricted Security of such class, and shall notify DTC promptly in the event that it is unable to do so. Issuer represents that it has agreed to comply with all applicable information requirements of Rule 144A.
2. Issuer represents that the Securities are: [Note: Issuer must represent one of the following, and shall cross out the other.]
[an issue of nonconvertible debt securities or nonconvertible preferred stock which is rated in one of the top four categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("Investment Grade Securities").]
[Included within PORTAL, a Self--Regulatory Organization System approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the reporting of quotation and trade information of securities eligible for transfer pursuant to Rule 144A) an "SRO Rule 144A System").]
3. If the Securities are not Investment--Grade Securities, Issuer and Agent acknowledge that if such Securities cease to be included in an SRO Rule 144A System during any period in which such Securities are Legally or Contractually Restricted Securities, such Securities shall no longer be eligible for DTC's services. Furthermore, DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under any of the aforementioned circumstances, at DTC's request, Issuer and Agent shall cooperate fully with DTC by taking appropriate action to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing Securities to any DTC Participant ("Participant") having Securities credited to its DTC accounts.
4. Issuer and Agent acknowledge that, so long as Cede & Co. is a record owner of the Securities, Cede & Co. shall be entitled to all applicable voting rights and receive the full amount of all distributions payable with respect thereto. Issuer and Agent acknowledge that DTC shall treat any Participant having Securities credited to its DTC accounts as entitled to the full benefits of ownership of such Securities.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Issuer and Agent acknowledge that DTC shall treat any Participant having Securities credited to its DTC accounts as entitled to receive distributions (and voting rights, if any) in respect of the Securities, and to receive from DTC certificates evidencing Securities. Issuer and Agent recognize that DTC does not in any way undertake to, and shall not have any responsibility to, monitor or ascertain the compliance of any transactions in the Securities with any of the provisions: (a) of Rule 144A; (b) of other exemptions from registration under the Securities Act or any other state or federal securities laws; or (c) of the offering documents.
