Definitive Securities electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or Holders of Global Securities must transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate Principal Amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased by the Company.

(c) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner and at the times required and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under this Indenture, other than a Default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

(d) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of this Section 1.5.3, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1.5.3 by virtue of any such conflict.

Section 1.6. Defaults and Remedies.

1.6.1. Events of Default.

This Section 1.6.1 shall replace Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

Each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to a particular Series of Notes:

(a) default in the payment of any interest, including any Additional Interest, on such Series of Notes when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of that default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent prior to the expiration of such 30-day period);

(b) default in the payment of principal of such Series of Notes when due and payable;

(c) default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a Series of debt securities other than the Notes), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after the Company receives, by registered or certified mail, written notice from the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receive, by registered or certified mail, written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes as provided in this Indenture;

(d) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) commences a voluntary case;

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(v) generally is unable to pay its debts as the same become due; or

(e) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company,

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

No Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 1.6.1(d) or (e)) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other Series of debt securities of the Company.

1.6.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Recession and Annulment.

This Section 1.6.2 shall replace Section 6.2 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 1.6.1(d) or 1.6.1(e)), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon such declaration such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 1.6.1(d) or 1.6.1(e) shall occur, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of outstanding Notes.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in this Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such a declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.

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

1.6.3. Limitation on Suits.

This Section 1.6.3 shall replace Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

No Holder of any Notes 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:

(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to a particular Series of Notes;

(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture;

(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request;

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

(v) 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 Notes;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever 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, 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 such Holders of the applicable Series.

This note is one of the Series designated on the face hereof (individually, a “Note,” and collectively, the “Notes”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes (the “Holders”).

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the persons in whose name such Notes are registered at the close of business on the regular record date referred to on the facing page of this Note for such interest installment. In the event that the Notes or a portion thereof are called for redemption and the Redemption Date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Notes will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Notes as provided in the Indenture. The principal of and the interest on the Notes shall be payable in Dollars, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in accordance with the Indenture.

The Notes will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.

6. Change of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem this Note as described in Section 1.4 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Holder of this Note will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Note pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of a Holder of this Note on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company must send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 1.5.3 of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

10. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder: (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, (b) to comply with Article V of the Base Indenture (c) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, (d) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder, (e) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Notes as permitted by the Indenture, (f) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes and to add to or change any of the provisions of the Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by more than one Trustee, or (g) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA. The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes. Except as provided in Section 6.13 of the Base Indenture, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes.

11. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default in Sections 1.6.1(d) or 1.6.1(e) of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon such declaration such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 1.6.1(d) or 1.6.1(e) of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture shall occur, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of outstanding Notes. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, if an Event of Default under the Indenture shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes 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 Notes.

A-6

12. Trustee May Hold Securities. The Trustee, subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar.

13. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder (past or present), as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.
