“Applicable Percentage” means, as of any date of determination, the percentage per annum set forth in the grid below opposite the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and the Outstanding principal amount of Securities on such date:


Aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of Loans and Securities
> $1,000,000,000		6.5%
< $1,000,000,000		5.5%

In addition, if the Company shall fail to pay any Penalty Amortization Amount with respect to a series of Amortizing Securities in accordance with the schedules set forth in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(f), as applicable, the Applicable Percentage with respect to all series of Securities (including Call-Protected Dollar Securities) shall increase (on a cumulative basis for each such failure, if applicable) by an additional 0.50% per annum for each succeeding day until such time as such unpaid Penalty Amortization Amount and any other Penalty Amortization Amount that has not been paid in accordance with such schedules has been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Percentage shall not be subject to additional increases pursuant to the preceding sentence at any time Default Interest is accruing pursuant to Section 2.23 (but any prior or contemporaneous increases shall remain effective).

“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any transfer, redemption or exchange of or for beneficial interests in any Global Security, the rules and procedures of the Depositary that applies to such transfer, redemption or exchange.

“Applicable Rate” means 6.85% per annum subject to the adjustments set forth in the following paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, at the Closing Date, if the Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities are not rated by any Rating Agencies then the Applicable Rate would be 8.85% per annum. Upon repayment of all Securities (other than the Call-Protected Dollar Securities) and Loans, the Applicable Rate will be 8.85% per annum.

The Applicable Rate will be subject to adjustment from time to time if at least two Rating Agencies downgrade (or subsequently upgrade) the debt rating assigned to the Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities (a “rating”) as set forth below:

(i) If the ratings from at least two Rating Agencies are decreased to ratings set forth in the immediately following table, the initial Applicable Rate on the Call-Protected Dollar Securities will increase from the initial Applicable Rate by each of the percentages set forth opposite the two ratings:


Fitch Rating	Interest Rate Adjustment	S&P Rating	Interest Rate Adjustment	Moody’s Rating	Interest Rate Adjustment
BB+	0.25%	BB+	0.25%	Ba1	0.25%
BB	0.50%	BB	0.50%	Ba2	0.50%
BB-	0.75%	BB-	0.75%	Ba3	0.75%
B+ or below	1.00%	B+ or below	1.00%	B1 or below	1.00%

(ii) If at least two Rating Agencies subsequently increase their ratings of the Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities to any of the ratings set forth above, the Applicable Rate on the Call-Protected Dollar Securities will be decreased such that the Applicable Rate for the Call-Protected Dollar Securities equals 6.85% plus (if applicable) each of the percentages set forth opposite the ratings from the table above in effect immediately following the increase.

(iii) Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in the ratings set forth above shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments, provided that if the ratings from three Rating Agencies are decreased to ratings set forth in the table above, then only the lowest two of the three ratings shall be utilized for such adjustments. In no event shall (1) the Applicable Rate for the Call-Protected Dollar Securities be reduced to below 6.85% or (2) the total increase in the Applicable Rate on the Call-Protected Dollar Securities exceed 8.85%.

(iv) If at least two Rating Agencies cease to provide ratings for the Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities, any subsequent increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate of the Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the Rating Agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the Applicable Rate of the Call-Protected Dollar Securities shall be made solely as a result of two Rating Agencies ceasing to provide a rating. If all of the Rating Agencies cease to provide a rating, the Applicable Rate on the Call-Protected Dollar Securities will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 8.85%.

(v) Any Applicable Rate increase or decrease, as described above, will take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the Applicable Rate. If the Applicable Rate adjusts up and then subsequently adjusts down during the same interest period, the Applicable Rate shall be determined based on the ratings in effect at the end of the interest period.

(vi) For the purposes of this definition of Applicable Rate only, the following defined terms have the following meanings:

(A) “Fitch” means Fitch Ratings.

(B) “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

(C) “Rating Agencies” means (1) each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if any of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities or fails to make a rating of the Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the board of directors of the Company) as a replacement agency for Fitch, Moody’s or S&P, or all of them, as the case may be.

(D) “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

“April 2010 Equity Issuance Proceeds” means the cash proceeds received by the Company from the issuance of 58,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the subscription agreements dated April 19, 2010 among the Company and the purchasers named therein.

“Asset Coverage Ratio” has the meaning set forth in Section 5.9(b).

“Asset Coverage Noncompliance Period” means any period commencing on the last day of any Fiscal Quarter on which the Asset Coverage Ratio is less than the minimum level set forth in Section 5.9(b)(ii)(A), (B) or (C), as applicable (without taking into account the provision in Section 5.9(b)(ii) allowing noncompliance with such covenant level during any one of two consecutive Fiscal Quarters); provided that no Event of Default is continuing on such date, and ending upon the earlier of (i) the first day on which the Asset Coverage Ratio is in compliance with the minimum level set forth in Section 5.9(b)(ii)(A), (B) or (C), as applicable, and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default.

“Asset Coverage Ratio” has the meaning set forth in Section 5.9(b).

“Authenticating Agent” means any Person authorized by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.14 to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of one or more series.

“Available Assets” means Available Debt Assets, Available Equity Assets, Available Debt Securitization Assets and Available Structured Products Assets.

“Available Debt Assets” means, as of any date of determination thereof, an amount equal to the sum of 100% of each Grade 2 Investment, Grade 3 Investment and Grade 4 Investment. For purposes of determining Available Debt Assets, such investments shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of such date of determination.

“Available Debt Securitization Assets” means, as of any date of determination thereof, an amount equal to the sum of 85% of the Net Equity Value of each Eligible On-Balance Sheet Securitization as of such date.

“Available Equity Assets” means, as of any date of determination thereof, an amount equal to the sum of 85% of each Eligible Equity Investment (other than Eligible Structured Product Investments and Available Debt Securitization Assets). For purposes of determining Available Equity Assets, such investments shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of such date of determination.

(e) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, set any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. With regard to any record date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, will be entitled to give or take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. With regard to any action that may be given or taken hereunder only by Holders of a requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series (or their duly appointed agents) and for which a record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its option, set an Expiration Date after which no such action purported to be given or taken by any Holder will be effective hereunder unless given or taken on or prior to such Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series (or their duly appointed agents) on such record date. On or prior to any Expiration Date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, on one or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date. Nothing in this paragraph will prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent thereof) from giving or taking, after any such Expiration Date, any action identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different from, the action or purported action to which such Expiration Date relates, in which event the Company may set a record date in respect thereof pursuant to this paragraph. Nothing in this Section will be construed to render ineffective any action taken at any time by the Holders (or their duly appointed agents) of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is so taken.

If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

(g) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided, however, that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

(h) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security, or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may take such action pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

In any case where notice to Holders is given by any method described in this Section, neither the failure to transmit such notice, nor any defect in any notice so transmitted, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as may be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

(c) Subject to the final sentence of this paragraph (c), prior to June 30, 2013, the Company may defer redemption of Scheduled Amortization Amounts (but not Penalty Amortization Amounts) under this Indenture and corresponding scheduled amortization amounts under the Credit Agreement, in an aggregate cumulative amount of principal payments of the Loans and principal redemptions of the Amortizing Securities of up to $200,000,000. Such deferrals shall in no event cause or permit the aggregate cumulative amount of principal payments of the Loans and principal redemptions of the Amortizing Securities combined after the Closing Date to be less than $620,427,006 (or, if a 2020 Note Exchange shall have occurred, $695,427,006) on June 30, 2013. For avoidance of doubt (i) failure to pay any Penalty Amortization Amount set forth above (whether or not the Scheduled Amortization Amount shall have been deferred) shall result in an increase in the Applicable Percentage (as described in the definition of such term) with respect to all series of Securities but shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default and (ii) failure to pay any Scheduled Amortization Amount with respect to a series of Amortizing Securities when due shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to all series of Securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to redeem any Scheduled Amortization Amount or Penalty Amortization Amount does not apply to the Call-Protected Dollar Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not defer any payment pursuant to this paragraph (c): (i) with respect to a series of Amortizing Securities

unless payment of a ratable amount of all other series of Amortizing Securities (based on the Outstanding principal amount of the Amortizing Securities) is simultaneously deferred on the same basis as payment of such series of Amortizing Securities is deferred; and (ii) unless payment of a ratable amount of the Loans (based on the Outstanding principal amount of the Amortizing Securities and the outstanding principal amount of the Loans) is simultaneously deferred on the same basis as payment of such Amortizing Securities is deferred.

(d) Any payments (other than Repurchases described in paragraph (e) below) of the Amortizing Securities shall be applied to scheduled installments of the Scheduled Amortization Amounts in direct order of maturity. Any such payments shall also be credited towards the Penalty Amortization Amount for the applicable six-month period (i.e., January to June or July to December) in which such redemption is made until the applicable Penalty Amortization Amount is paid in full in cash and thereafter shall be credited to Penalty Amortization Amounts in direct order. Redemptions of Amortizing Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount redeemed.

(e) Each Repurchase of Amortizing Securities of a series pursuant to Section 6.12(a) (i) shall be deemed a redemption of Amortizing Securities of such series in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Amortizing Securities Repurchased and (ii) shall reduce each of the remaining Scheduled Amortization Amounts and Penalty Amortization Amounts contained in the schedule set forth in Section 2.2(a) (as such schedule may then have been adjusted from time to time hereunder) by the same percentage that the principal amount of the Amortizing Securities Repurchased bears to the total Outstanding Amortizing Securities immediately prior to giving effect to such Repurchase. For the avoidance of doubt, assuming the Company redeems exactly the Scheduled Amortization Amounts (or Penalty Amortization Amounts) on the dates specified in Section 2.2(a), a Repurchase of Amortizing Securities from other Holders will not change the amount of Amortizing Securities redeemed from a Holder that does not participate in such Repurchase.

(f) In the event that the 2020 Notes shall have been exchanged for, or repaid with the proceeds of, Debt permitted to be incurred by Section 6.1(b)(ii) (the “2020 Note Exchange”), the Scheduled Amortization Amount and the Penalty Amortization Amount set forth in clause (a) above on each date set forth in clause (a) above occurring after the consummation of the 2020 Notes Exchange shall be increased by an amount equal to the Additional Scheduled Amortization Amount or Additional Penalty Amortization Amount, as applicable, set forth in the schedule below opposite such date.

(g) Any redemption of an Amortizing Security pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Article XI.

Section 2.3 Fees.

(b) Restructuring Fee. The Company agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Person who has elected to receive Securities in the Debt Restructuring (based exclusively on (A) in the case of the exchange of Existing Revolving Loans for Securities, the Persons identified on the records of the agent under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Company as having elected to receive Securities, (B) in the case of the exchange of certain Existing Private Notes for Securities, the Persons identified in the relevant letter of transmittal received by the Company or the exchange agent and (C) in the case of the exchange of Existing Public Notes for Securities, the Persons identified in accordance with the customary rules and procedures of the Depositary relating to such exchange) a restructuring fee in an amount equal to 2.00% of the principal amount of the Securities such Person has elected to receive on the Closing Date.

(c) Extension Fees. (i) The Company agrees to pay on December 30, 2011 to each Holder a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Securities of such Holder Outstanding on such date, after giving effect to any principal redemptions on such date.

(ii) The Company agrees to pay on December 31, 2012 to each Holder a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of the Securities of such Holder Outstanding on such date, after giving effect to any principal redemptions on such date.

(ii) Prior to August 1, 2012, the Call-Protected Dollar Securities may be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time (so long as no Amortizing Securities or any Loans are then outstanding), at the option of the Company at a Redemption Price equal to accrued and unpaid interest on the

principal amount being redeemed on the Redemption Date plus the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Call-Protected Dollar Securities to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Call-Protected Dollar Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) (assuming for these purposes that the Call-Protected Dollar Securities mature on August 1, 2012 and bear interest at the Applicable Rate) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 30 basis points;

(iii) Notwithstanding clause (ii) above, prior to August 1, 2012, the Call-Protected Dollar Securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Securities redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date, but without payment of any premium, with Realized Proceeds (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the proceeds received from new securitizations or the expansion of existing securitizations), but only if no Amortizing Securities or Loans (or any pari passu secured Permitted Refinancing Debt) are outstanding;

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Company shall not redeem the Call-Protected Dollar Securities at any time that any other series of Amortizing Securities or any Loans are outstanding. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may redeem or repay Amortizing Securities and Loans without at the same time redeeming any Call-Protected Dollar Securities; and

(v) Any optional redemption of an Amortizing Security pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall be credited in accordance with Section 2.2(d). Any optional redemption of a Security pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Article XI.

(b) Mandatory Redemptions of Amortizing Securities. In accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.4(c),

For purposes of determining prepayments under this Section 2.4(b)(iii) with respect to Secondary Realized Proceeds, only that portion of any Secondary Realized Proceeds equal to the Securities Ratable Share of the Prepayment Percentage multiplied by the excess of such Secondary Realized Proceeds over the amount of the Retained Cash used to make the applicable Portfolio Investment (if greater than zero) shall be required to be applied to the redemption of the Amortizing Securities; and

(iv) if, for any Fiscal Year of the Company (or, in the case of Fiscal Year 2010, the portion thereof beginning on July 1, 2010), there shall be Excess Cash Flow, an amount equal to the Securities Ratable Share of the Prepayment Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year shall be required to be applied to the redemption of the Amortizing Securities as set forth in clause (c) below;

(c) Application of Prepayments. Unless any of the following amounts required to be applied to the redemption of the Amortizing Securities pursuant to Section 2.4(b) have been previously applied to the redemption of the Amortizing Securities as provided herein:

(i)(1) within five Business Days from the receipt thereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company or such Subsidiary shall deposit in the Prepayment Deposit Account (A) the sum of (x) the amounts required to be applied to the redemption of the Amortizing Securities pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i) and Section 2.4(b)(ii) and (y) the amounts required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to the corresponding provisions of the Credit Agreement and (B) an amount equal to at least 75% of the Company’s good faith estimate of the sum of (x) the amounts required to be applied to the redemption of the Amortizing Securities pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iii) and (y) the amounts required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to the corresponding provisions of the Credit Agreement, and (2) no later than two days after the earlier of (x) the date on which the financial statements of the Company referred to in

Section 2.5 [Reserved].

Section 2.6 [Reserved].

Section 2.7 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest payable hereunder with respect to any Fixed Rate Dollar Securities and Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest payable hereunder with respect to any Call-Protected Floating Rate Dollar Securities shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. The Trustee shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Holders of each determination of the LIBOR Rate on the Business Day of the determination thereof.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Trustee pursuant to any provision of this Indenture shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Holders in the absence of manifest error. The Trustee shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the

Company a statement showing the computations used by the Trustee in determining any interest rate. The Company shall provide an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Securities Outstanding (i) on the Closing Date; (ii) upon any change in the aggregate outstanding principal amount that would result in a change in the Applicable Percentage (which certificate shall indicate the Effective Date thereof); or (iii) within 5 Business Days after a written request by the Trustee. The Trustee may rely conclusively on the most recently dated certificate in determining the Applicable Date as of any date of determination.

(c) It is the intent of the Holders and the Company to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between the Holders and the Company are hereby limited by the provisions of this paragraph which shall override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any Security), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Indenture, under the Securities or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under Applicable Law. If, from any possible construction of this Indenture or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under Applicable Law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If any Holder shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Securities under Applicable Law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on the Securities and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Company or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Securities. The right to demand payment of the Securities or any other amount required to be paid hereunder does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Holders do not intend to charge or receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Holders with respect to the Securities shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Securities so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 2.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Allocation of Payments Before Event of Default. Each payment under this Indenture or any Security shall be applied as otherwise set forth in this Indenture and then shall be applied, first, to any fees, costs or expenses then due and owing by the Company pursuant to Section 8.7, second, to any fees, costs or expenses then due and owing by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3, Section 2.13, and Section 5.17 third, to interest then due and owing hereunder and under the Securities and, fourth, to principal then due and owing hereunder and under the Securities. Each payment on account of any fees pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be made pro rata

to all Holders in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing. Each optional redemption on account of principal of the Securities shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(a). Each mandatory redemption on account of principal of the Amortizing Securities shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(c). All payments (including redemptions) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Holders not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date when due. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Company may Repurchase Securities from time to time on a non-pro rata basis to the extent permitted by Section 6.12.

(b) Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, subject to Sections 3.4(a) and (b) of the Collateral Trust Agreement, after the Securities and all other amounts under this Indenture shall have become due and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 7.2 hereof, all amounts collected or received by the Collateral Trustee, Trustee or any Holder on account of the Securities or any other amounts outstanding hereunder shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) of the Trustee in connection with enforcing the rights of the Holders hereunder;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Trustee;

THIRD, to the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees pursuant to Section 5.17) of each of the Holders in connection with enforcing their rights hereunder;

FOURTH, to the payment of all accrued fees payable under this Indenture and the other Indenture Documents and all accrued interest on the Securities;

FIFTH, to the payment of the Outstanding principal amount of the Securities;

SIXTH, to all other amounts and obligations due and payable hereunder or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and

SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing: (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Holders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion of the then Outstanding Securities held by such Holder) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “FOURTH” and “FIFTH” above and (iii) currency conversions shall be computed in the manner set forth in Section 2.2(a).

Section 2.13 Indemnity. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify each Holder and to hold such Holder harmless from any funding loss or expense which such Holder may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) the failure by the Company to pay the principal amount of or interest on any Security by such Holder in accordance with the terms hereof, (b) the failure of the Company to make any redemption after the Company has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, and/or (c) the making by the Company of a redemption of a Security on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold each Holder harmless from any loss, cost or expense which such Holder may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) the payment of any principal of any Call-Protected Floating Rate Dollar Security other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (ii) the failure to redeem any Call-Protected Floating Rate Dollar Security on the date specified in any notice delivered hereto. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.13 must be submitted by a Holder to the Company (which certificate must be delivered to the Company within thirty (30) days following such default or redemption) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 2.13 shall survive termination of this Indenture and payment of the Securities and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.14 [Reserved]

THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) SUCH SECURITY MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (1)(a) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN 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 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (b) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES TO A FOREIGN PERSON IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (c) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF APPLICABLE) OR (d) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE

(iv) Each Global Security shall represent such aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions and transfers of interests therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants or Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security.

Section 2.17 Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, a President, its Chief Financial Officer, its Treasurer, an Executive, a Senior Vice President or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

The Trustee shall authenticate Securities upon written orders of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. Each Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated, whether the Securities are to be Fixed Rate Dollar Securities, Call-Protected Floating Rate Dollar Securities or Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities, and the date on which the Securities are to be authenticated.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and register, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form. Every temporary Security will be executed and registered by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. The Company will execute and register and furnish definitive Securities of such series as soon as practicable and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment for that series, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. Such exchange will be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge to the Holder therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.19 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of a Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be imposed by the Company for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.18, Section 10.6 or Section 11.7 not involving any transfer. Other charges, including brokerage charges, may apply.

If the Securities of any series are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) calendar days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.4 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

The provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (8) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

(1) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

(2) The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Securities.

(3) The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Custodian with respect to the Securities, and the Trustee hereby agrees so to initially act.

(4) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Securities registered in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee thereof, and no such transfer may be registered, unless (i) such Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities evidenced by such Global Security. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, a Global Security to which the restriction set forth in the preceding sentence shall have ceased to apply may be transferred only to, and may be registered and exchanged for Securities registered only in the name or names of, such Person or Persons as the Depositary for such Global Security shall have directed and no transfer thereof other than such a transfer may be registered.

(5) Subject to Clause (4) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

(6) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 2.18, Section 2.22, Section 10.6 or Section 11.7, or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

(7) Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States Federal or state securities law.

(8) Neither the Trustee nor any Custodian shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

(b) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Transfers of beneficial interests in Global Securities also shall require compliance with either clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following clauses, as applicable:

(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Security. Beneficial interests in any Rule 144A Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Rule 144A Global Security in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend and any Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Unrestricted Global Security. Except as may be required by any Applicable Procedures, no written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Security Registrar to effect the transfers described in this clause (i).

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Securities. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to clause (i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Security Registrar (A) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Security of the same series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (B) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase.

(iii) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Rule 144A Global Security for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Security. A holder of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security may exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of the same series or may transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of such series only if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of clause (ii) above and the Security Registrar receives the following:

(1) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of the same series, a certificate from such holder in the form set forth in Section 2.20; or

(2) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of the same series, a certificate from such holder in the form set forth in Section 2.21;

and, in each such case, if the Security Registrar so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Security Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer complies with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

(iv) Automatic Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Rule 144A Global Security for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Security. Upon the expiration of the six month or other applicable holding period provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, subject to compliance with the Securities Act and the Applicable Procedures, to exchange all beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Security into beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Security of the same series, and upon the instructions of the Company, and subject to such conditions, the Trustee will cooperate with such exchange.

(v) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Security representing a Call-Protected Floating Rate Dollar Security for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Security representing a Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Security. With the consent of the Company, a holder of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security representing Call-Protected Floating Rate Dollar Securities may exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security representing Call-Protected Fixed Rate Dollar Securities, and only if the exchange complies with the requirements of clause (ii) above.

(c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Security for Beneficial Interests in a Rule 144A Global Security Prohibited. Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Security may not be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Security.

(d) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing a Private Placement Legend, the Security Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear a Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing a Private Placement Legend, the Security Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear such Private Placement Legend unless there is delivered to the Security Registrar an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

The Security Registrar for the Securities shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 2.19 in accordance with its records retention policy. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Security Registrar for the Securities.

Section 2.22 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Section 2.23 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. (a) Interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, unpaid interest on the Securities and any other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Indenture Documents shall automatically bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate (in addition to Additional Interest and any increase in the Applicable Percentage) which would otherwise be applicable thereto (“Default Interest”). Default Interest shall cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date, and such Default Interest may be paid by the Company as provided in clause (b) or (c) below:

(b) The Company may elect to make payment of any Default Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Default Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Default Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency in which the Securities of such series are payable equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Default Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Default Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Default Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) calendar days and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Default Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Default Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Default Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (c).

(c) The Company may make payment of any Default Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.

Section 2.24 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 2.23) any interest on such Security and for all fees and other amounts payable under this Indenture and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.25 Cancellation of Surrendered Securities. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of all cancelled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures.

Section 2.26 Common Codes, ISINs and CUSIP numbers. The Company, in issuing the Securities, shall use Common Codes, ISINs or CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and thereafter the Trustee may use such Common Codes, ISINs or CUSIP numbers in any notice of redemption; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such Common Codes, ISINs or CUSIP numbers either as printed on the Securities or contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification number printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such number. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the Common Codes, ISINs or CUSIP numbers.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on any Securities or any fee or other amount payable under this Indenture, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

Absent a Default or Event of Default, and subject to applicable abandoned property laws, if any, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security or any fee or other amount payable under this Indenture and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, interest, fee or other amount has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, if any, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, that shall not be less than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Company.

Section 5.21 Statement by Officers as to Default. To the extent not included in a certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a), deliver to the Trustee, within 120 calendar days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

Section 5.22 Limits on Disclosure of Reporting. Notwithstanding Section 5.2(b), Section 5.6 and Section 5.7, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to (and, unless a Notice of Acceleration shall be in effect, neither the Trustee nor any other agent, representative or advisor (acting in accordance with its customary procedures for maintaining confidential information) to the Holders shall) disclose to any Restricted Beneficial Holder that is a Competitor any of the types of information about individual Portfolio Investments listed on Exhibit K attached hereto (“Portfolio Investment Information”). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company may provide more extensive information packages and access to Restricted Beneficial Holders that are not Competitors than provided to Restricted Beneficial Holders that are Competitors. Any determination as to whether a Restricted Beneficial Holders is a Competitor or whether information constitutes Portfolio Investment Information shall be made by the Company in its reasonable judgment. The Trustee shall have no obligation or liability for any determination made by the Company pursuant to this paragraph. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.22 shall not apply to information required to be disclosed to the Restricted Beneficial Holder under Section 5.1 and Section 5.2(a).

For the purposes of this Section 7.2, all series of Outstanding Securities shall collectively be treated as a single series of Securities, except where the Event of Default relates to one or more series of Securities but not to all series of Securities.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Collateral Trustee and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(i) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

(ii) the principal of any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in this Indenture,

(iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities or this Indenture,

(iv) all fees and other amounts payable under this Indenture, and

(v) all sums incurred, paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

and

(b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 7.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.3 Collection of Debt and Proceedings for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

(a) the Company shall fail to pay any interest on any Security or any fee or other amount payable hereunder when due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms thereof or hereof and such failure to pay any interest or any fee shall continue unremedied for five (5) Business Days, or

104

(b) the Company shall fail to pay any principal on any Security when due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms thereof or hereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all fees and other amounts payable under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 7.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized 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 proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.7.

No provision of this Indenture 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; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

Section 7.5 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

105

Section 7.6 Application of Money Collected. Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the order specified in Section 2.8(b).

Section 7.7 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series;

(b) the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Trustee for sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders), or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

Section 7.8 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Interest and Fees. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, that is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and (subject to Section 2.23) interest on such Security and all fees and other amounts payable under this Indenture, in each case, on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in this Indenture and such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or date for repayment, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

106

Section 7.9 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 7.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.22, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 7.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 7.12 Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series 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, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided, that:

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 7.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default:

(a) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of such series or any fee payable under this Indenture, or

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article X cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

107

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.14 Undertaking for Costs. 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

Section 7.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(f) 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, other evidence of indebtedness 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 books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

Section 8.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company, if any, are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Section 8.5 May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Section 8.8 and Section 8.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 8.6 Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

Section 8.7 Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed to in writing between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

111

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

(c) to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee or their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(e), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

Any fees, expenses, reimbursements or other charges which the Trustee may be entitled to receive from the Company hereunder, if not paid when due, shall bear interest at the prime rate of the Trustee as announced from time to time, and if not otherwise paid, shall be a first lien upon any funds or other property then or thereafter held hereunder by the Trustee. The provisions of this Section shall survive termination of this Indenture.

Section 8.8 Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the 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 Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series.

Section 8.9 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be one or more Trustees hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, at least one of which will be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, and has a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000, is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, and has its Corporate Trust Office in the United States. 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 and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, 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 Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series 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.

112

Section 8.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) calendar days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the reasonable expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 8.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months, or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 8.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting 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, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 7.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If a

113

successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 8.11, the Trustee being removed, on its own behalf and at the reasonable expense of the Company, may, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six (6) months, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.6. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 8.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company 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 Company 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 shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Indenture, any removal of the retiring Trustee shall not be effective unless and until the retiring Trustee has received the indefeasible payment, in full, in cash, or all fees and expenses of the retiring Trustee, including fees and expenses of counsel and other professionals, if any.

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and that (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the

114

retiring Trustee, and (3) 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; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each 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 with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 8.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 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 all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the 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. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

Section 8.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

Section 8.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities that shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 2.22, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of

115

Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent that shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

Section 11.1 Applicability of Article. Securities of any series shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and in accordance with this Article.

Section 11.2 Election to Redeem: Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee and the Depositary of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities.

Section 11.3 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed.

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, all redemptions of Amortizing Securities (other than Repurchases made in compliance with Section 6.12 to the extent permitted therein) shall be pro rata among all series of Outstanding Amortizing Securities. If less than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed among the Securities of that series on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than five (5) Business Days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of that series not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Securities and portions of Securities selected shall be in integral multiples of $1.00. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

Section 11.4 Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given (a) in the case of Certificated Securities, by facsimile machine or other electronic transmission (including transmission in portable document format by electronic mail) and by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the Holder’s address appearing in the applicable Security Register or (b) in the case of Global Securities, to the Depositary, in each case, not less than five (5) Business Days nor more than fifty (50) calendar days, prior to the Redemption Date. Failure of a Holder to receive such notice by electronic mail will not affect the validity of such redemption.

122

All notices of redemption shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the Redemption Price;

(c) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed;

(d) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed;

(e) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date;

(f) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

(g) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

(h) the Common Codes, ISIN or CUSIP number of the Securities and that no representation is made as to the correctness of the Common Codes, ISINs or CUSIP numbers listed in such notice or printed on the Securities of that series.

Notice of redemption of a series of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request delivered at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date such notice is to be given (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, and shall be irrevocable. If the Company requests that the Trustee shall give notice of redemption with respect to a series of Securities for which it is not acting as Security Registrar, such notice to the Trustee shall include the appropriate facsimile number or electronic mail address and first-class mail addresses of each Holder of such Securities to be redeemed.

Section 11.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (local time at the Place of Payment) on the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 11.4, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.20) an amount of money, in the currency in which the Securities of such series are payable, sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date or the Securities of the series provide otherwise) accrued interest on, all the Securities that are to be redeemed on that date.

123

Section 11.6 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, in the currency in which the Securities of such series are payable, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice (or in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, in the case of Global Securities), such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together, if applicable, with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.23, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 2.23.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

Section 11.7 Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, in the case of Global Securities, and at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), in the case of Certificated Securities, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

ARTICLE XII

Section 12.2 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 5.20, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, interest and fees for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

125

ARTICLE XIII

GUARANTEE

Section 13.1 Guarantee

(a) Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Company when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations of the Company (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

(b) Anything herein or in any other Indenture Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under the other Indenture Documents shall in no event exceed the amount that can be guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 13.2).

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Article XIII or affecting the rights and remedies of the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Article XIII shall remain in full force and effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article XIII (other than Contingent Indemnification Obligations) shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Indenture the Company may be free from any Guaranteed Obligations.

(e) No payment made by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Trustee or any Holder from the Company, any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations), remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnification Obligations) are paid in full.

Section 13.2 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder that has not paid its

126

proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 13.3. The provisions of this Section 13.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee and the other Indenture Secured Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the other Indenture Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Section 13.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Subsidiary Guarantor by the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party against the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the other Indenture Secured Parties by the Company on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnification Obligations) are paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnification Obligations) shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the other Indenture Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Subsidiary Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Trustee may determine.

Section 13.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Subsidiary Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Subsidiary Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party may be rescinded by the Trustee or such other Indenture Secured Party and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, and the Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Trustee or any Holder, and this Indenture and the other Indenture Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Trustee (or the Required Holders or all Holders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Trustee nor any other Indenture Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Article XIII or any property subject thereto.

127

Section 13.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Article XIII or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article XIII; the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article XIII; and all dealings between the Company and any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Trustee and the other Indenture Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article XIII.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Article XIII shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Indenture or any other Indenture Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any other Person against the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article XIII, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Company, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Company, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Subsidiary Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party against any Subsidiary Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

Section 13.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Article XIII shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Trustee or any other Indenture Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

Section 13.7 Payments. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Trustee without set-off or counterclaim.

Section 13.8 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee for Future Subsidiary Guarantors.

To further evidence its guarantee set forth in Section 13.1, each Person that is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees to execute a supplement to this Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, and deliver it to the Trustee. Such supplement to this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of one officer or other person duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of each such Subsidiary Guarantor who shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Security.

Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, hereby agrees that its guarantee set forth in Section 13.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such guarantee.

If an officer of a Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which such guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of such Security shall nevertheless be valid.

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 13.9 Subordination of Intercompany Obligations.

Any and all obligations of the Company or any other Indenture Party to any Subsidiary Guarantor now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations. No Subsidiary Guarantor will seek, accept or retain for such Subsidiary Guarantors’ account, any payment from any Indenture Party on account of such obligations at any time when a Default or Event of Default exists under this Indenture or any other Indenture Documents, and any such payments made while any Default or Event of Default exists under this Indenture or any other Indenture Document on account of such obligations shall be collected and received by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders and shall be paid over to the Trustee on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder.
