AMENDMENTS
Section 2.01 AMENDMENTS. The Indenture is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Section 7.06 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation, and, except as otherwise expressly provided the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances hereon. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder, and shall survive discharge of the Indenture, payment in full at maturity of the Securities, and resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or Coupons.
(b) Section 11.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

For purposes of the foregoing, any sale, assignment, transfer, lease or other conveyance of the properties and assets of one or more Significant Subsidiaries (other than to the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company), which, if such assets were owned by the Company, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.
(c) Section 12.02 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Satisfaction, Discharge and Defeasance of Securities of any Series. If pursuant to Section 2.01 provision is made for the defeasance of Securities of a series, then the provisions of this Section 12.02 shall be applicable except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. The Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of Section 4.07 and 4.08 with respect to the outstanding Securities of any series or any other term, provision, condition or covenant of the outstanding Securities of any such Series specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, when

3

(iii) a combination of (i) and (ii);

Upon delivery of such opinion and satisfaction of the other conditions in this Section 12.02, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness of all outstanding Securities of such series (and the Trustee shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of such indebtedness), except (i) rights of registration
