Section 2.08             Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Notes of a Series at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of such Series of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.  The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Notes of a Series from the Holder requesting such transfer or

11

exchange (other than any exchange of a temporary Note for a permanent Note not involving any change in ownership or any exchange pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.06 or 9.05 hereof, not involving any transfer).

Notwithstanding any other provisions (other than the provisions set forth in the fourth paragraph) of this Section 2.08, a Global Note representing all or a portion of the Notes of a Series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

Each Global Note is exchangeable for Notes of the same Series in certificated form only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Notes or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Company fails within 90 days thereafter to appoint a successor Depositary or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Note shall be exchangeable and notify the Trustee.  In any such event the Company will issue, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of certificated Notes, will authenticate and deliver Notes in certificated form of the same Series in exchange for such Global Note.  In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in either Global Note will be entitled to physical delivery in certificated form of Notes of the same Series equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Notes registered in its name.  Notes so issued in certificated form will be issued in denominations of $2,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000, and will be issued in registered form only, without coupons.

Upon the exchange of a Global Note for Notes of the same Series in certificated form, such Global Note shall be cancelled by the Trustee.  All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee and, upon written request by the Company, a certificate of their disposal delivered to the Company.  Definitive Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note of the same Series pursuant to this Section 2.08 hereof shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Note in global form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing.  The Trustee shall deliver such Notes as instructed in writing by the Depositary.

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

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

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning fifteen Business Days before any selection of Notes of such Series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

12

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a Depositary participant or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Depositary participant, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Depositary participant, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes.  All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note).  The rights of a beneficial owner in a Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures.  The Trustee and the Agents shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.  The Trustee and the Agents shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the Holder of any Global Note for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Note (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global Note) as the sole Holder of such Global Note and shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof.  Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to such Global Note, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Note, for any transactions between the Depositary and any Depositary participant or between or among the Depositary, any such Depositary participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Note, 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 any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Note or shall impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Note.

Section 2.09             Replacement Notes.  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note of the same Series.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, the Holder of such Note shall provide indemnity that is sufficient, in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company, to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer in connection with such replacement.  If required by the Company, such Holder shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable expenses in connection with such replacement Note.

Every replacement Note issued in accordance with this Section 2.09 shall be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same debt as the destroyed, lost or stolen Note of the same Series, and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes of the same Series duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.10             Outstanding Notes.  The Notes of a Series outstanding at any time shall be the entire principal amount of Notes of such Series represented by all of the Global Notes of such Series and Definitive Notes of such Series authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those subject to reductions in beneficial interests effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding.  Except

13

as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, a Note shall not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding and interest on it shall cease to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date, a Change of Control Payment Date or a maturity date, funds sufficient to pay Notes of a Series payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.11             Treasury Notes.  In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a Series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes of such Series owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of such Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.12             Temporary Notes.  Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate, temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes of the same Series but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes or Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes of the same Series, as applicable.  After preparation of Definitive Notes, the Temporary Note will be exchangeable for Definitive Notes of the same Series upon surrender of the temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture as permanent Notes of the same Series.

Section 2.13             Cancellation.  The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act or other applicable laws) unless by written order, signed by an Officer of the Company, the Company directs them to be returned to it.

Certification of the disposal of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the Company from time to time upon request.  The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.14             Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest.  Interest on any Note 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 Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

14

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes of a Series which is payable (“Defaulted Interest”), it shall pay the Defaulted Interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent Special Record Date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes of such Series.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on such Notes and the date of the proposed payment.  The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such Special Record Date and payment date, provided that no such Special Record Date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such Defaulted Interest.  At least 15 days before the Special Record Date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders of Notes of such Series a notice that states the Special Record Date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 and Section 2.08 hereof, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.15             CUSIP or ISIN Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or notice of an Change of Control Offer and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or Change of Control Offer shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers.

Section 2.16             Additional Notes.  The Company shall be entitled, from time to time, without notice to, or the consent of the Holders, to issue Additional Notes of any Series under this Indenture that shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes of such Series issued on the date hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance, first interest payment date and issue price; provided that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes of such Series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes of that Series will have a separate CUSIP and ISIN number.  The Initial Notes of a Series issued on the date hereof and any Additional Notes of such Series shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including directions, waivers, amendments, consents, redemptions and Change of Control Offers.  No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(1)           the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and

(2)           the issue price, the Issue Date and the CUSIP and/or ISIN number of such Additional Notes.

Section 2.18             Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in

15

whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date as the owner of such Note, for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by the first paragraph of Section 2.04 hereof and subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.13 hereof) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall 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.

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Note in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 2.19             Computation of Interest.  Interest on the Fixed Rate Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.  Interest on the Floating Rate Notes will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.  Interest on the Initial Notes will accrue from May 30, 2018.

Section 3.01             Notice to Trustee.  If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (a) the applicable section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (b) the redemption date, (c) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price.

Section 3.02             Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.  If less than all of the Notes of a Series are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee (subject to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary) shall select the Notes of a Series to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the Notes on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate and the Depositary will then select beneficial interests in the Notes to be redeemed in accordance with Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes of a Series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000.

Section 3.03             Notice of Redemption.  At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered, by first class mail, or, in the case of the Depositary with respect to any Global Note, sent electronically, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Series of Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(1)           the redemption date;

(2)           the redemption price (or manner of calculation if not then known);

Section 3.04             Effect of Notice of Redemption.  Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes of a Series called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.  A notice of redemption may be conditioned upon the satisfaction of conditions precedent set forth in such notice of redemption.

Section 3.05             Deposit of Redemption Price.  At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes of a Series to be redeemed on that date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes of such Series to be redeemed.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption.  If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes of such Series and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06             Notes Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder, or transfer by book-entry at the expense of the Company, a new Note of the same Series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.  No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.

Section 4.10             Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event

(a)           .If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes in full pursuant to Section 3.07, Holders of each Series of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of such Holders’ Notes pursuant to the offer described in Section 4.10(b) below (such offer, the “Change of Control Offer”).  In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer payment, in cash, equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes of each Series repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased up to but excluding the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

(b)           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 the public announcement of such pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to send, by first class mail, a notice to Holders of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.  Such notice will state, among other things, the repurchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”).  The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, may state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.  Holders of Notes electing to have their Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or 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.

(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, at the times 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.

(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 those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event.  To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions in this Indenture governing the Change of Control Offer by virtue of any such conflict.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01             Events of Default.  “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Notes of each Series, means any one of the following events:

(a)           default in any payment of interest on the Notes of such Series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

(b)           default in payment when due of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) the Notes of such Series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, by declaration or redemption or otherwise;

(c)           default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company or Holdings in this Indenture or in the Notes of such Series, which default continues uncured for a period of 90 days after (i) the Company receives written notice from the Trustee or (ii) the

23

Company and the Trustee receive written notice from Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of such Series;

(d)           the Company or Holdings commences a voluntary case under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law; consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary bankruptcy case; applies for or consents to the appointment of any custodian, receiver, trustee, sequestrator, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer of it or for all or substantially all of its property and assets; makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or generally is unable to pay its debts as they become due;

(e)           an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Company with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or an order for relief is entered against the Company under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect;

(f)            the Note Guarantees cease to be in full force and effect in all material respects or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or Holdings denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantees (except, in any case, as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) and such default continues for 30 days after notice that Holdings denies or disavows its obligations under the Note Guarantees; or

(g)           default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Initial Notes, if that default (i) is caused by a failure to pay principal on such indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods provided in such indebtedness) (a “Payment Default”) or (ii) results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its express maturity (an “Acceleration Event”) and (A) in each case, the principal amount of any such indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or an Acceleration Event, aggregates $100 million or more and (B) in the case of a Payment Default, such indebtedness is not discharged and, in the case of an Acceleration Event, such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, within 10 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such Series, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder.

Section 6.02             Acceleration.  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.01(d) or (e)) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes of a Series then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all of the outstanding Notes of such Series may declare the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes of such Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) 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.

24

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to the Notes of a Series, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration or acceleration and its consequences with respect to the Notes of such Series if (i) the rescission and annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree already rendered, (ii) if all existing Events of Default with respect to the Notes of such Series (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived and all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation expenses and disbursements of the Trustee and its agents and counsel have been paid and (iii) if the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (a) any overdue interest on the Notes of such Series, (b) the principal amount of the Notes of such Series (except the principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) and (c) to the extent lawful and applicable, interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate specified in the Notes of such Series.

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

Section 6.03             Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default with respect to a Series of Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04             Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes of a Series as provided in Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of each Series affected thereby then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of the Notes of such Series waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such Series except (i) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of premium or interest on, or the principal of, the Notes of such Series (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or (ii) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby.  Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist with respect to the Notes of such Series, and any Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such Series 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05             Control by Majority.  Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a Series may in writing direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it, subject to Section 7.02(f).  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes of a Series (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.  The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

25

Section 6.06             Limitation on Suits.  A Holder of Notes of a Series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or such Notes only if:

(a)           the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such Series;

(b)           the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c)           such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d)           the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of security or indemnity; and

(e)           during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Holder of Notes may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of Notes or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of Notes.

Section 6.07             Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08             Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof with respect to Notes of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, such Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09             Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial 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 7.07 hereof.  To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive

26

in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained 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 Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10             Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money or property with respect to the Notes pursuant to this Article VI, or, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

First:  to the Trustee (including any predecessor trustee), its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof applicable to the Notes, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second:  to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

Third:  to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11             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 or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders or group of Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 6.12             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 will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.13             Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.  The Company covenants, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including additional interest, if any) on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture.  The Company hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any

27

power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as if no such law had been enacted.

Section 7.01             Duties of Trustee.

(a)           If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

Section 7.05             Notice of Defaults.  If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice from Holders

30

of the Notes if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06             Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

(a)           Within 60 days after each April 15 beginning with the April 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).  The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2).  The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

(b)           A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d).  The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

Section 7.07             Compensation and Indemnity.

(a)           The Company and Holdings will pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Trustee, the Company and Holdings may agree from time to time in writing.  The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company and Holdings will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b)           The Company and Holdings, jointly and severally, will indemnify the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee), its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel incurred by it arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, the Notes, the acceptance or administration of the trusts or its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or Holdings (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, Holdings, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability, damage, claim or expense may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct.  The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or Holdings of its obligations hereunder.  The Company and Holdings will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company and Holdings will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company and Holdings need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)           The obligations of the Company and Holdings under this Section 7.07 will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the termination for any reason of this Indenture, and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Notes.

(d)           To secure the Company’s and Holdings’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money and properly held or collected by the Trustee.  Such Lien will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

31

(e)           When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(f)            The Trustee will comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

(g)           “Trustee” for the purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

Section 7.08             Replacement of Trustee.

(a)           A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

(b)           The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company with 30 days prior notice.

(c)           The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company with 30 days prior notice in writing.

(d)           The Company may remove the Trustee with 30 days prior written notice if:  the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(e)           If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding of Notes may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company.  Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f)            If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(g)           A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders.  The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all properly held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

32

Section 7.09             Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.  If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10             Eligibility; Disqualification.  There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(l), (2) and (5).  The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

Section 7.11             Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.  The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE VIII

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01             Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes of any Series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

Section 8.02             Legal Defeasance and Discharge.  Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of such Series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of such Series, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a)           the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes of such Series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Notes of such Series when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(b)           the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and Sections 4.01 and 4.02 hereof;

(c)           the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(d)           this Article VIII.

33

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03             Covenant Defeasance.  Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and Holdings will, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and Article V in each case, with respect to the outstanding Notes of such Series on and after the date the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes of such Series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of such Notes (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes of a Series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, the failure to comply with any such covenant shall not constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(c).

Section 8.04             Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.  In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof with respect to Notes of any Series:

(a)           the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the outstanding Notes of such Series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes of such Series are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

(b)           in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c)           in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a

34

result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d)           no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

(e)           such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(f)            the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes of such Series over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and

(g)           the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 8.05             Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes of any Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes of the applicable Series.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06             Repayment to Company.  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, premium, if any, or interest on, any Series of Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall, subject to applicable abandoned property law, be paid

35

to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07             Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and Holdings’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes of such Series and related Note Guarantee will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes of such Series following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01             Without Consent of Holders of Notes.  Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of Notes of any Series affected by the modification or amendments in order to:

(a)           cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(b)           conform to the text of this Indenture, including any supplemental indenture, or the Notes to any corresponding provision of the “Description of the Notes” contained in the prospectus supplement relating to the Initial Notes or the “Description of Debt Securities” found in the accompanying prospectus;

(c)           provide for the issuance of Additional Notes of any Series;

(d)           provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations in the case of either a merger or consolidation and the Company’s discharge upon such assumption provided that Article V hereof is complied with;

(e)           add covenants or make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes of such Series;

(f)            add guarantees with respect to the Notes or release Holdings as a Guarantor in accordance with this Indenture;

36

(h)           secure the Notes;

(i)            add or appoint a successor or separate trustee;

(j)            obtain to or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or

(k)           make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Notes.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02             With Consent of Holders of Notes.  The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Notes of such Series.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each Series affected thereby, by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes of each affected Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes of such Series.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes of any Series under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.  Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes of such Series as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes of each Series affected thereby a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver.  Any failure by the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.  However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not, with respect to any Notes of such Series held by a non-consenting Holder of each Series affected thereby:

(a)           reduce the principal amount, any premium or change the Stated Maturity of the Notes of such Series or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Notes of such Series;

37

(b)           change the place of payment or currency in which principal, any premium or interest is paid;

(c)           impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the Notes of such Series;

(d)           reduce the interest rate or extend the time for payment of interest on the Notes of such Series;

(e)           make any change to this Article IX; or

(f)            reduce the amount payable upon the repurchase of any Notes of such Series or change the time at which any Note of such Series may be repurchased as described in Section 4.10 whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in Article I, Article IV or otherwise.

Section 9.03             Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.  Every amendment to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04             Revocation and Effect of Consents.  Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.  However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.  An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05             Notation on or Exchange of Notes.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on the Notes thereafter authenticated.  The Company in exchange for Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Notes of the same Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment or waiver.

Section 9.06             Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.  In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that it will be the legal, valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions.  The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

(b)           no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company or Holdings, as applicable, is a party or by which the Company or Holdings, as applicable, is bound;

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section 10.01, the provisions of Sections 10.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive.  In addition, nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.  After the conditions to discharge contained in this Article X have been satisfied, and the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, and delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with, the Trustee upon Company request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the obligations of the Company (except for those surviving obligations specified in this Section 10.01 and the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith).

Section 10.02           Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes with respect to which such deposit was made 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

(a)           Holdings hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the Notes and obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, that:  (i) the principal of and premium, if any and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise (including, without limitation, the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of the Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.  The Note Guarantees shall be guarantees of payment and not of collection.

(b)           Holdings hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of Holdings.

(c)           Holdings hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Note Guarantees shall not be discharged as to any Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note and such Note Guarantees or as provided for in this Indenture.  Holdings hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal or premium, if any or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against Holdings to enforce Holdings’ Note Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company.  Holdings agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes,

40

Holdings shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.

(d)           If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or Holdings, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or Holdings, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Note Guarantees of Holdings, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  This paragraph (d) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the Trustee or any Holder in reliance upon such amount required to be returned.  This paragraph (d) shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

(e)           Holdings further agrees that, as between Holdings, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 for the purposes of the Note Guarantees of Holdings, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Holdings for the purpose of the Note Guarantees of Holdings.

Section 11.02           Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantees.  To evidence its Note Guarantees set forth in Section 11.01, Holdings agrees that this Indenture shall be signed on behalf of Holdings by an Officer of Holdings (or, if an Officer is not available, by a board member or director or another authorized Person) on behalf of Holdings by manual or facsimile signature.  In case the Officer, board member or director of Holdings who shall have signed this Indenture shall cease to be such Officer, board member or director before the Note shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered as though the Person who signed this Indenture had not ceased to be such Officer, board member or director.

Holdings agrees that except as otherwise provided in this Indenture its Note Guarantees set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to all the Notes notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.  The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of Holdings.

The failure to endorse a Note Guarantee shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

Section 11.03           Severability.  In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.04           Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.  Holdings and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantees of Holdings not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and Holdings hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of Holdings under its Note Guarantees shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of Holdings, result in the obligations of Holdings under its Note Guarantees constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

41

Section 11.05           Benefits Acknowledged.  Holdings acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Note Guarantees are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
