The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange or securities association rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the following form:

Securities issued in the form of one or more permanent global Securities in registered form, substantially in the form as above recited (the “Global Securities”) shall be deposited with or on behalf of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Each Global Security shall bear the global securities legend substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and such legend or legends as may be required or reasonably requested by the Depository.

The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased, as applicable, by adjustments made on the records of the Depository or its nominee and the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, at any time prior to cancellation, if, in accordance with this Indenture and the Securities (including any applicable restrictions on transfer) any beneficial interest in a Global Security is (a) exchanged for definitive registered Securities, (b) redeemed, (c) repurchased, (d) cancelled, or (e) exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Security.

The definitive registered Securities shall be typed, printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any stock exchange or securities association on which the Securities may be listed or quoted, all as determined by the Officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

SECTION 2.3 Execution and Authentication.

An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual, electronic or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.

- 7 -

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee shall authenticate Securities upon a written order of the Company. Such order shall specify the Series and the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which such Securities are to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time is unlimited. In authenticating such Securities and in accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall receive and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that,

(a) the form or forms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(b) the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been satisfied; and

(c) such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

The Trustee shall initially act as authenticating agent and may subsequently appoint another Person acceptable to the Company as authenticating agent to authenticate Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company. Provided that the authentication agent has entered into an agreement with the Company concerning the authentication agent’s duties, the Trustee shall not be liable for any act or any failure of the authenticating agent to perform any duty either required herein or authorized herein to be performed by such Person in accordance with this Indenture.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

The Securities shall be issued only in registered form without coupons.

SECTION 2.4 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, provided that there shall only be one register for each Series of Securities. So long as a Series of Securities is listed or quoted on a stock exchange or securities association, the Company shall maintain a co-registrar and a co-paying agent in such other locations, if any, as such stock exchange or securities association shall require.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent and any change in the address of such agent. If the Company appoints the Trustee as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 6.7. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or transfer agent.

- 8 -

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities.

SECTION 2.5 Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.

On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum of money denominated in the currency of such payment, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay such principal and interest in funds available when such becomes due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities) and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Securityholders. If the Company defaults in its obligation to deposit funds for the payment of principal and interest the Trustee may, during the continuation of such default, require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.6 Securityholder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Securityholders, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

SECTION 2.7 Transfer and Exchange.

The Securities shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security to the Registrar for registration of transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met (and the Registrar shall be entitled to assume such requirements have been met unless it receives written notice to the contrary) and, if so required by the Trustee or the Company, if the Security presented is accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, duly executed by the registered owner or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, in which case, the Registrar shall deliver, to or at the direction of such registered owner, one or more new Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request as provided in an authentication order delivered to the Trustee by the Company. The Depository shall, by acceptance of a Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only (a) in accordance with this Indenture and the Securities represented by such Global Security and (b) through a book-entry system maintained by the Depository (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

No service charge to any Holder shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 8.5 or 9.6).

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest (subject to the record date provisions thereof) on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

- 9 -

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.7, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities of any Series in definitive registered form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a Series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

Each Depository appointed pursuant to this Section 2.7 must, at the time of its appointment and at all times while it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. The Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver upon a written order of the Company, Securities in definitive registered form without coupons in any authorized denominations representing Securities of a Series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities of such Series upon the events described in Section 2.14(b).

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of a Series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver upon a written order of the Company, Securities of such Series in definitive registered form without coupons in any authorized denominations representing such Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form without coupons pursuant to either of the two preceding paragraphs, in authorized denominations, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. The Depository shall provide to the Trustee and the Company information with respect to the participants and their holdings pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

No holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee 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 Global Security or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 a Depository or impair, as between a Depository and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depository (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.

The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of a Series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the electronic delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Securities subject to redemption under Section 9.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such electronic delivery or mailing or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will evidence the same debt and will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Holder furnishes to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking, the Company shall, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same Series if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met (and the Registrar shall be entitled to assume such requirements have been met unless it receives written notice to the contrary) and if there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee security or indemnity to save each of them harmless, satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.

In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Every replacement Security of each Series is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities.

SECTION 2.9 Outstanding Securities.

The Securities of each Series outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.8 and those described in this Section as not outstanding.

If a Security is replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced or paid Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If all the principal and interest on any Securities of any Series are considered paid under Section 3.1, the Securities of such Series cease to be outstanding under this Indenture and interest on the Securities of such Series shall cease to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company) holds in accordance with this Indenture on a maturity or redemption date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest due on that date with respect to Securities of any Series then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue (unless there shall be a default in such payment).

Subject to Section 2.10, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security.

SECTION 2.10 Determination of Holders’ Action.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of any Series of Securities have concurred in any direction, amendment, waiver or consent, Securities owned by or pledged to the Company, any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned or pledged will be so disregarded. Promptly after the Company or any Affiliate thereof acquires or disposes of any Securities (or beneficial interests therein), it will so notify the Trustee.

SECTION 2.11 Temporary Securities.

Until definitive Securities of any Series are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities of such Series. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon the written order of the Company, shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until such exchange, temporary Securities of any Series shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Securities of such Series.

- 11 -

SECTION 2.12 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation, and shall notify the Company upon written request that such Securities have been cancelled. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.13 Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities of any Series, it shall pay Defaulted Interest, plus any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest to the extent permitted by law, in any lawful manner. It may pay the Defaulted Interest to the Persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date which date shall be at least one Business Day prior to the payment date. The Company shall fix the special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the request and expense of the Company) shall deliver to Securityholders a notice that states the special record date, payment date and amount of interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.14 Global Securities.

(a) Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depository for such Global Security or Securities.

(b) Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depository for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series has occurred and is continuing or (iii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.

Except as provided in this Section 2.14(b), unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities of any Series in definitive registered form a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.

(c) Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.”

- 12 -

(d) Acts of Holders. The Depository, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the Indenture.

(e) Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.1, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.

(f) Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14(e), the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depository with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.

(g) Liability. For avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any liability for any actions of the Depository.

SECTION 2.15 CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Company and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

If the Securities of a Series provide for the payment of additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that Series of Securities and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of that Series if there has been a change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the principal Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent whether such payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of that Series shall be made to Holders of the Securities of that Series without withholding or deduction for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that Series. If any such withholding or deduction shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld or deducted on such payments to such Holders and shall certify the fact that additional amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each Holder, and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required to be paid by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section.

Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any interest or any other amounts on, or in respect of, any Security of any Series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided by the terms of such Series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding the payment of additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

- 14 -

If the Company determines that it is, or on the next Interest Payment Date would be, required to pay an additional amount with respect to a Series of Securities, such Series shall be redeemable, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed by the Company for redemption and all additional amounts, if any, then due and which will become due on such Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise, in accordance with the procedures for redemption contained in Article IX hereof; provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to make such payment (or withholding, if a payment in respect of such Series were then due). Prior to the delivery or, where relevant, publication of any notice of redemption of such Series pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of recognized international standing to the effect that the circumstances requiring the payment of an additional amount with respect to such Series exist. The Trustee shall accept such opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the redemption, in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

SECTION 3.6 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company;

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

Any notice of Default given by the Trustee or Securityholders under this Section must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 and 6.2, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice thereof (as described in Section 6.2(n)) shall have been given to the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.2 by the Company, the Paying Agent, any Holder or an agent of any Holder and such notice complies with Section 6.2(n).

SECTION 5.2 Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (d) and (e) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, any premium and any accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of such Series to be due and payable. Upon such declaration the principal, any such premium and any such accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (d) or (e) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of, any premium and any accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding Securities of each Series shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. At any time after a declaration of acceleration but before any judgment or decree for payment of money has been obtained, if all existing Events of Default with respect to such Series have been cured or waived (except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration), the acceleration and its consequences in respect of a Series of Securities shall be automatically annulled and rescinded. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

- 17 -

SECTION 5.3 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal or interest on the relevant Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder 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 5.4 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such Series waive an existing Default and its consequences with respect to such Series, except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of, any premium on or any interest on any Security of such Series or (b) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 8.2 cannot be amended without the consent of each affected Securityholder of such Series; provided, however, that the Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 5.5 Control by Majority.

The Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to such Series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, or, subject to Section 6.1, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders of such Series, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, that the Trustee shall have no affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to the rights of such other Securityholders, and provided further, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 5.6 Limitation on Suits.

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

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

(c) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee of such Series security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;

(d) the Trustee of such Series does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(e) the Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Securities of such Series do not give the Trustee of such Series a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period,

- 18 -

it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein) (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether any such action or inaction would unduly prejudice the rights of another Holder). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 5,6, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 5.7 Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Security, 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 the Holder.

SECTION 5.8 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing with respect to a Security, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on such Security for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid (together with interest on such unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 6.7.

SECTION 5.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and take such other actions including participating as a member or otherwise in any committees of creditors appointed in the matter as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the amounts provided in Section 6.7) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7. To the extent that the payment of any such amount due to the Trustee under Section 6.7 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 which the Holders of the Securities may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

No provision of this Indenture 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 5.10 Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money or other consideration pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money or other consideration in the following order:

First: to the Trustee and its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 6.7;

- 19 -

Second: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities of the relevant Series for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series for principal and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Company.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders of such Series pursuant to this Section. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this Section 5.10, the Trustee shall cause notice of such record date and payment date to be given to the Company and to each Securityholder of such Series.

SECTION 5.11 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 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 pursuant to Section 5.7, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any Series.

SECTION 5.12 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 shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 6.1 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 their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions required or permitted to be delivered by the terms of this Indenture to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any such opinions or certificates).

- 20 -

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section.

(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it from Holders as provided in this Indenture.

(iv) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any risk, loss, liability or expense.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require instruction, an Officers’ Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel or both to be provided. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such instruction, Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction, instruction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.

(c) The Trustee may act through agents and attorneys and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

- 21 -

(g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Subject to Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of the Securityholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have provided to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred in compliance with such request or direction.

(n) The Trustee will have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company with respect to the covenants contained in Article III. In addition, the Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee will have received at its Corporate Trust Office written notification of a default that is in fact a Default or Event of Default, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Article III other than Section 3.3 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing will not constitute constructive or actual notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely on Officers’ Certificates).

(o) The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Company shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Company whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such

- 22 -

Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

SECTION 6.3 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 6.10 and 6.11.

SECTION 6.4 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities of any Series, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities of any Series, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee and it shall not be responsible for any recital or statement in this Indenture or the Securities of any Series other than its authentication.

SECTION 6.5 Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee as provided in Section 6.2(n), the Trustee shall mail to Securityholders of the affected Series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default in any payment on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of the affected Series.

SECTION 6.6 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

Within 60 days after the May 15 following the first issuance of Securities hereunder, and for so long as Securities are outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall deliver to Securityholders a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) if required by that Section. The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange or securities association on which Securities are listed or quoted. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when Securities are listed or quoted on any stock exchange or securities association and of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 6.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as the parties shall agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable and documented compensation and out-of-pocket disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel and other professionals.

- 23 -

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents (and any predecessor Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents) for, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, damage or expense, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, disbursements and expenses, incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 6.7) and defending itself against any claim (regardless of whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee will promptly notify the Company of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice and for which it may seek indemnity, but failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee as determined by a court of final decision to have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities of any Series.

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Company’s obligations under this Section 6.7 and any Lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article VII of this Indenture and the termination of this Indenture.

SECTION 6.8 Replacement of Trustee.

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

The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to any Series of Securities by so notifying the Company upon 30 days’ written notice. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to any Series of Securities at any time by so notifying the Trustee of such Series of Securities upon 30 days’ written notice. The Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Securities of any Series may, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee, remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to that Series of Securities by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. In addition, the Company, by notice to such Trustee, shall remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

(c) a receiver or public officer takes charge of such Trustee or its property; or

(d) such Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

- 24 -

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or becomes incapable of acting or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason with respect to one or more Series of Securities, the Company by Board Resolution shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to such Series of Securities (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to one or more or all Series of Securities and at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to any particular Series of Securities). Within one year after the successor Trustee of a Series of Securities takes office, the Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of such Securities of the affected Series may appoint a successor Trustee of such Series to replace the successor Trustee of such Series appointed by the Company.

If a successor Trustee for a particular Series of Securities does not take office within 45 days after the retiring Trustee of such Series resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee of such Series, the Company or the Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Securities of the affected Series may, at the expense of the Company (in the case of a petition by the retiring Trustee of such Series or the Company), petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for such Series.

If the Trustee for a particular Series of Securities fails to comply with Section 6.10, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee of such Series and the appointment of a successor Trustee of such Series. The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series by providing written notice of such event to all Holders of Securities of such Series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series and the address of its corporate trust office.

A successor Trustee of all Securities shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and such successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, upon payment of its charges hereunder and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 6.7.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) Series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those Series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental Indenture shall constitute such Trustee’s co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further action, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall transfer to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those Series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, upon payment of its charges hereunder and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 6.7.

Upon reasonable request of any such successor Trustee and at the Company’s expense, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the two preceding paragraphs, as the case may be.

- 25 -

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

The retiring Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever for any action or omission on the part of any successor Trustee. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees pursuant to this Section 6.8, the obligations of the Company under Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Trustees.

SECTION 6.9 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 corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

SECTION 6.10 Eligibility; Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and (5). The Trustee shall always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b). Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the application referred to in the second-to-last paragraph of TIA Section 310(b). If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, with respect to the Securities of a Series, it shall within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign with respect to the Securities of that Series in the manner prescribed in the TIA.

SECTION 6.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), except with respect to any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed is subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

Thereafter, only the Company’s obligations in Sections 6.7, 6.8, 7.6 and 7.7 shall survive. After any such irrevocable deposit and fulfillment of the other requirements of this Section 7.2, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of such Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series except for those surviving obligations specified above.

SECTION 7.3 Defeasance and Discharge of Indenture.

Unless otherwise provided with respect to a Series of Securities in accordance with Section 2.1, the Company will be deemed to have paid and will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of such Series on the 91st day after the date of the deposit referred to in clause (a) hereof, and the provisions of this Indenture will no longer be in effect with respect to such Series, in each case subject to the antepenultimate paragraph of this Section 7.3, and the Trustee, at the reasonable request of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same, except as to (1) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (2) substitution of apparently mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities of such Series, (3) rights of Holders of such Series to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon, (4) the Company’s obligations under Section 3.2, (5) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder including, without limitation, those arising under Section 6.7 hereof, (6) the rights of the Holders of such Series as beneficiaries of this Indenture with respect to the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them and (7) the rights, obligations and immunities which survive as provided in the antepenultimate paragraph of this Section 7.3; provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), prior to the end of the 91-day period (or longer period, if applicable) referred to in clause (d)(ii)(2) above, none of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to such Series shall be discharged. Subsequent to the end of such 91-day period (or longer period, if applicable) with respect to this Section 7.3, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.12, 3.1, 3.2, 6.7, 6.8, 7.6 and 7.7 shall survive with respect to such Series until the Series is no longer outstanding. Thereafter, only the Company’s obligations in Sections 6.7, 7.6 and 7.7 shall survive with respect to such Series. If and when a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (d)(i) above is able to be provided specifically without regard to, and not in reliance upon, the continuance of the Company’s obligations under Section 3.1, then the Company’s obligations under such Section 3.1 with respect to such Series shall cease upon delivery to the Trustee of such ruling or Opinion of Counsel and compliance with the other conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 7.3.

After any such irrevocable deposit and the fulfillment of the other requirements of this Section 7.3, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of such Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series except for those surviving obligations in the immediately preceding paragraph.

Before or after a deposit pursuant to this Section, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with Article IX.

- 28 -

(a) with reference to this Section 7.4, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company) and conveyed all right, title and interest for the benefit of the Holders of such Series, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form satisfactory to the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of such Holders, in and to, (i) money in an amount, (ii) U.S. Government Obligations that, through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide, not later than one Business Day before the due date of any payment referred to in this clause (a), money in an amount or (iii) a combination thereof in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other fees, charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee or Paying Agent, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Securities of such Series when due in accordance with this Indenture and such Securities; provided that the Trustee or Paying Agent shall have been irrevocably instructed in writing to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to the payment of such principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to such Series;

(b) such deposit will not result in or constitute a Default or result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

(d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel who is not employed by the Company to the effect that (i) such Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 7.4 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised and (ii) after the passage of 91 days (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law) following the deposit (except, with respect to any trust funds for the account of any Holder of such series who may be deemed to be an “insider” for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, after one year following the deposit), the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code or Section 15 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law in a case commenced by or against the Company under either such statute; and

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them (whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise) for the payment of principal or interest of any Series that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Company shall if requested by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, give the Trustee or such Paying Agent indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all liability which may be incurred by it by reason of such payment.

SECTION 7.7 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of this Indenture, as the case may be, by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of the applicable Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of this Indenture, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of this Indenture, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Series of Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Series to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS

SECTION 8.1 Without Consent of Holders.

The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture as it relates to any one or more Series of Securities or enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) with respect to any one or more Series of Securities without notice to or the consent of any Securityholder of such Series for one or more of the following purposes:

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

(b) to comply with Article IV;

(c) to provide for uncertificated Securities of such Series in addition to certificated Securities of such Series; provided that such uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code or in a manner such that such uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;

(d) to add additional guarantees with respect to such Series or to secure such Series;

(e) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of such Series or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company;

(h) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Securities of any series as permitted by this Indenture; or

(i) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities or one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee.

After an amendment or supplement under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section.

SECTION 8.2 With Consent of Holders.

The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with respect to any one or more Series of Securities with the written consent, as to each such Series, of the Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series. However, with respect to a Series of Securities, without the consent of each affected Securityholder of such Series, an amendment or supplement under this Section may not:

(a) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Securities the Holders of which must consent to an amendment or supplement or waiver;

(b) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security;

(c) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Security;

(d) modify any redemption or repurchase right to the detriment of a Holder;

(e) make any Security payable in currency or consideration other than that stated in the Security; or

- 31 -

(f) make any change in Section 5.4, Section 5.7 or this second sentence of this Section 8.2.

An amendment or supplement which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular Series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other Series.

Except as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 8.2, the Holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of that Series, waive the Company’s compliance with the provisions of this Indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment or supplement under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section.

SECTION 8.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 8.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Article becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of any Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of Securities of that Series or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Company and the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

After an amendment or supplement becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder of the affected Series.

SECTION 8.5 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holders of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Securities of such Series regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holders. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Securities of such Series shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities of such Series that reflect the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue new Securities of such Series shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 8.6 Trustee To Sign Amendments.

The Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture which sets forth an amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture or otherwise. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such supplemental indenture the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and complies with the provisions hereof, that such supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, and, with respect to an amendment or supplement pursuant to Section 8.2, evidence of the consents of Holders required in connection therewith.

- 32 -

SECTION 8.7 Fixing of Record Dates.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to take any action under this Indenture by vote or consent. If a record date is fixed, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to take such action by vote or consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date; provided that unless such vote or consent is obtained from the Holders (or their duly designated proxies) of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities prior to the date which is the 120th day after such record date, any such vote or consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect.

The notice if sent in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by electronic transmission or mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security.

SECTION 9.5 Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

If the Securities are not in the form of Global Securities, any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee for such Security so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same Series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

Once notice of redemption is sent or published as provided in Section 9.4, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price.
