Abstract: Section 304(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“Act”) permits the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) to exempt securities from requirements of the Act if such securities are issued under an indenture under which the securities were outstanding when the Act was adopted in 1939 and were still outstanding on January 1, 1959. It must be shown that compliance with a particular provision of the Act would require the consent of holders of securities outstanding under the indenture at the time of the application or would impose an undue burden on the issuer, having due regard to the public interest and the interest of investors. Under Rule 4c-1 (17 CFR 260.4c-1), issuers may file a Form T-4 (17 CFR 269.4) to apply for an exemption pursuant to Section 304(c) of the Act. As noted above, Form T-4 is used by issuers to apply for an exemption pursuant to Section 304(c) of the Act.
