ARTICLE 1.

DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

Section 1.01 Relationship with Base Indenture.

The terms and provisions contained in the Base Indenture will constitute, and are hereby expressly made a part of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of the Base Indenture conflicts with the express provisions of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture will govern and be controlling.

The Trustee accepts the amendment of the Base Indenture effected by this Sixth Supplemental Indenture and agrees to execute the trust created by the Base Indenture as hereby amended, but only upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Sixth Supplemental Indenture,

including the terms and provisions defining and limiting the liabilities and responsibilities of the Trustee in the performance of the trust created by the Base Indenture, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or with respect to any of the recitals or statements contained herein, all of which recitals or statements are made solely by the Company, or for or with respect to (1) the validity or sufficiency of this Sixth Supplemental Indenture or any of the terms or provisions hereof, (2) the proper authorization hereof by the Company, (3) the due execution hereof by the Company or (4) the consequences (direct or indirect and whether deliberate or inadvertent) of any amendment herein provided for, and the Trustee makes no representation with respect to any such matters. In entering into this Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability or affording protection to the Trustee, whether or not elsewhere herein so provided.

Section 1.02 Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Base Indenture. The following terms have the meanings given to them in this Section 1.02:

“Additional Notes” means any Notes (other than the Initial Notes) issued under this Sixth Supplemental Indenture in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof, as part of the same series as either series of the Initial Notes.

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

“Attributable Debt” with regard to a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction with respect to any Principal Property means, at the time of determination, the lesser of (1) the present value of the total net amount of lease payments required to be paid under such lease during the remaining term thereof (after deducting the amount of rent to be received under non-cancellable subleases and including any period for which such lease has been extended), discounted at the greater of (i) the weighted average interest rate per annum borne by the Notes or (ii) the interest rate inherent in such lease, in each case, as determined by the chief financial officer, treasurer or controller of the Company, compounded semiannually, or (2) the sale price for the Principal Property so sold and leased multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction and the denominator of which is the base term of such lease. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of (x) the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, but shall not include any rent that would be required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or (y) the net amount determined assuming no such termination.

For purposes of determining such Attributable Debt, “lease payments” are the aggregate amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to the applicable period, after excluding amounts required to be paid on account^-of maintenance and repairs, water rates and similar utility charges. If and to the extent the amount of any lease payment during any future period is not definitely determinable under the lease in question, the amount of such lease payment will be estimated in such reasonable manner as the chief financial officer, treasurer or controller of the Company may in good faith determine.

9

(ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase.

Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.02(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes.

If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to the previous paragraph at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so transferred.

A Holder of Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note.

The Company will pay interest semiannually on March 12 and September 12 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”).

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the 2027 Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of 2027 Notes at the close of business on the February 26 or August 29 preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such 2027 Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2027 Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of 2027 Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of the 2027 Notes; provided that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to 2027 Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Trustee will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture or the 2050 Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the 2050 Notes then outstanding, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2050 Notes, voting as a single class, and compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the 2050 Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2050 Notes, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, 2050 Notes, voting as a single class.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. An “EVENT OF DEFAULT” occurs if: (i) default for a period of 90 days in the payment when due of interest on the 2050 Notes; (ii) default in the payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the 2050 Notes; (iii) the Company fails for 90 days after receipt of notice to the Company to comply with any covenant or warranty of the Company in the Indenture; or (iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency occur with respect to the Company or any Material Subsidiary.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding 2050 Notes may declare all the 2050 Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Material Subsidiary, all outstanding 2050 Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the 2050 Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2050 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the 2050 Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium or interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2050 Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the 2050 Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the 2050 Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required no later than five days after becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the Company, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the 2050 Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of 2050 Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the 2050 Notes.

15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
