There is hereby established a series of Securities designated the “5.75% Senior Notes due 2011” (the “2011 Notes”) and a series of Securities designated the “6.125% Senior Notes due 2016” (the “2016 Notes”, and together with the 2011 Notes, the “Notes”).

SECTION 2.2. AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES

(a) There are initially to be authenticated and delivered $500,000,000 principal amount of the 2011 Notes. Such principal amount of the 2011 Notes may be increased from time to time pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Indenture.

All Notes of a given series need not be issued at the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without the consent of any Holder, for issuances of additional Notes of such series. Any such additional Notes will have the same ranking, interest rate, maturity date, redemption rights and other terms as the applicable series of Notes initially issued and any such additional Notes, together with the applicable series of Notes initially issued, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture.

Nothing contained in this Section 2.2 or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture, or in the Notes, is intended to or shall limit execution by the Company or authentication or delivery by the Trustee of Notes under the circumstances contemplated by Sections 3.4, 3.7, 3.8 and 11.5 of the Indenture.

The Notes shall be issued in registered form without coupons. The 2011 Notes shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto and the 2016 Notes shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto. The form of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication for each series of Notes shall be in substantially the form set forth in the applicable form of Note attached hereto. Each Note shall be dated the date of authentication thereof. The entire initially issued principal amount of each series of the Notes shall initially be evidenced by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company. The Notes shall not be issuable in definitive form except under the limited circumstances specified in Section 3.7 of the Indenture.

SECTION 2.3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON THE NOTES

The 2011 Notes will mature on January 15, 2011 and will bear interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum, subject to adjustment as provided for in the terms of the 2011 Notes. The 2016 Notes will mature on January 15, 2016 and will bear interest at the rate of 6.125% per annum, subject to adjustment as provided for in the terms of the 2016 Notes.

Interest on the Notes will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance of the Notes. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.4. DENOMINATIONS

The Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

SECTION 2.5. REDEMPTION

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; and

(b) as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, the sum of the present values of the principal amount and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued

as of the applicable Redemption Date), discounted to the applicable Redemption Date in accordance with customary market practice on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 0.300% for the 2011 Notes and 0.375% for the 2016 Notes.

The Redemption Prices of Notes to be redeemed will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Notice of redemption of either series of Notes will be given as provided in Section 4.4 of the Indenture. If the Company redeems less than all of a particular series of Notes, the Trustee will select the particular Notes to be redeemed by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and as otherwise provided in the Indenture.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the applicable Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes of the applicable series or portions of the Notes of the applicable series called for redemption.

(6) any extension, renewal or replacement of any Lien referred to above; provided that (A) such extension, renewal or replacement Lien (i) will be limited to the same property that secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced and (ii) will not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement and (B) such principal amount of Debt so secured shall continue to be included in the computation in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.8 and in Section 2.9(a)(1) to the extent so included at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement.

If Moody’s or S&P subsequently increases its debt rating applicable to the 2011 Notes (each a “rating”) to any of the threshold ratings set forth in the applicable table above, the interest rate on the 2011 Notes will be decreased such that the interest rate for the 2011 Notes equals the interest rate set forth on the face of the 2011 Notes plus the percentages set opposite the ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for the 2011 Notes be reduced to below the interest rate set forth on the face of the 2011 Notes, and (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the 2011 Notes exceed

A-6

2.00% above the interest rate set forth on the face of the 2011 Notes. If Moody’s increases its rating to Baa2 and S&P increases its rating to BBB, the interest rate on the 2011 Notes will remain at, or be decreased to, as the case may be, the interest rate set forth on the face of the 2011 Notes and no subsequent downgrades in a rating by either Moody’s or S&P shall result in an adjustment of the interest rate on the 2011 Notes as provided herein.

If either Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the 2011 Notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rate of the 2011 Notes shall be made solely as a result of either Moody’s or S&P ceasing to provide a rating.

If both Moody’s and S&P cease to provide a rating, the interest rate of the 2011 Notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate set forth on the face of the 2011 Notes.

Any interest rate increase or decrease, as described above, will take effect as of the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance of this 2011 Note. The Company shall give the Trustee a notice in writing should the interest rate on the 2011 Notes be required to be increased or decreased pursuant to the terms described above no later than the Business Day immediately following the date on which a change in the interest rate is required to be made as provided above.

The 2011 Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to the 2011 Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the 2011 Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this 2011 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this 2011 Note and of any 2011 Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this 2011 Note.

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this 2011 Note shall not have the right to institute, or to order or direct the Trustee to institute, any

A-7

proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the 2011 Notes, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2011 Notes at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred or reasonably probable to be incurred in compliance with such request, the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request has been give to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding 2011 Notes. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this 2011 Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or premium, if any, or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for herein.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of the 2011 Notes or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2011 Notes at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this 2011 Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this 2011 Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in a Place for Payment for this 2011 Note, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new 2011 Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The 2011 Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the 2011 Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of 2011 Notes having the same Stated Maturity and of like tenor of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder upon surrender of the 2011 Note or 2011 Notes to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Company.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of the 2011 Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

REVERSE OF SENIOR 2016 NOTE

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of January 9, 2006, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 17, 2006 (collectively, as amended or supplemented from time to time, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and SunTrust Bank, a national banking corporation associated under the laws of the State of Georgia, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof (the “2016 Notes”) which is unlimited in aggregate principal amount.

If the debt rating applicable to the 2016 Notes from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the 2016 Notes will increase from the interest rate set forth on the face of the 2016 Notes by the percentage set opposite that rating in such table:


Rating	Percentage
Ba1	0.25	%
Ba2	0.50	%
Ba3	0.75	%
B1 or below	1.00	%

If the debt rating applicable to the 2016 Notes from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw-Hill, Inc.

Rating	Percentage
BB+	0.25	%
BB	0.50	%
BB-	0.75	%
B+ or below	1.00	%

If Moody’s or S&P subsequently increases its debt rating applicable to the 2016 Notes (each a “rating”) to any of the threshold ratings set forth in the applicable table above, the interest rate on the 2016 Notes will be decreased such that the interest rate for the 2016 Notes equals the interest rate set forth on the face of the 2016 Notes plus the percentages set opposite the ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for the 2016 Notes be reduced to below the interest rate set forth on the face of the 2016 Notes, and (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the 2016 Notes exceed

If either Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the 2016 Notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rate of the 2016 Notes shall be made solely as a result of either Moody’s or S&P ceasing to provide a rating.

If both Moody’s and S&P cease to provide a rating, the interest rate of the 2016 Notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate set forth on the face of the 2016 Notes.

Any interest rate increase or decrease, as described above, will take effect as of the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance of this 2016 Note. The Company shall give the Trustee a notice in writing should the interest rate on the 2016 Notes be required to be increased or decreased pursuant to the terms described above no later than the Business Day immediately following the date on which a change in the interest rate is required to be made as provided above.

The 2016 Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time, in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to the 2016 Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the 2016 Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected.
