Section 1.05 Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.05.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved (i) by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof or (ii) in any other manner deemed reasonably sufficient by the Trustee. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute proof of the authority of the Person executing the same. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner deemed reasonably sufficient by the Trustee.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by the Trustee, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(e) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes of any series entitled to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made, given or taken, or to vote on or consent to any action authorized or permitted to be taken by Holders of the Notes of such series; provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this clause (e) shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in clause (f) below. Unless otherwise specified, if not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or in the case of any such consent or vote, prior to such consent or vote, any such record date shall be the later of thirty (30) days prior to the first solicitation of such action, consent or vote or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation. If any record date is set pursuant to this clause (e), the Holders of Outstanding Notes of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action (including revocation of any action), whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes of such series on such record date. Nothing in this clause (e) shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this clause (e) (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this clause (e) shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this clause (e), the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Notes of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 12.02.

(f) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any notice of default under Section 6.01(3), (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 6.02, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 6.07(b) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 6.12, in each case, with respect to the Notes of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this clause (f), the Holders of Outstanding Notes of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes of such series on such record date. Nothing in this clause (f) shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this clause (f) (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this clause (f) shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this clause (f), the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Notes of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 12.02.

(g) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder entitled to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this clause (g) shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different parts.

(h) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including the Depositary that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and the Depositary that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such Depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices.

(i) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05, the party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other parties hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 12.02, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If the Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05, the party hereto which sets such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this clause (i).

ARTICLE 2

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating; Terms.

Provisions relating to the Initial Notes, Additional Notes, Exchange Notes and any other Notes issued under this Indenture are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The 2021 Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, the 2023 Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto and the 2044 Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, each of which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture, or in such other form as shall be established by or pursuant to the Board Resolution. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage; provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement shall be in a form acceptable to the Company. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes of each series shall be issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture, and the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. To the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Company pursuant to a Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.11 and otherwise as not prohibited by this Indenture. The Notes shall not be redeemable, in whole or in part, other than as provided in ARTICLE 3.

The Company may, without the consent of the then existing Holders of the Notes of a series, “re-open” the series and issue Additional Notes in an unlimited amount, which Additional Notes will have the same terms as the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, of the same series except for the issue price, issue date and, in certain circumstances, the first interest payment date and the first date from which interest will accrue; provided that, if any Additional Notes of a series are not fungible with the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, of the same series for United States federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will be issued as a separate series under this Indenture and will have a separate CUSIP number from the applicable series of the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

(a) At least one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b) A Note of any series shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or binding obligation for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A, Exhibit B or Exhibit C, as applicable, attached hereto by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

(c) On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes and Exchange Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order with respect to such Additional Notes or Exchange Notes issued hereunder.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and at least one office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Registrar or Paying Agent without prior notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar or Paying Agent.

(b) The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes and to act as custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.04 Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least two (2) 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 Holders, and the Company shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. Every Holder of the Notes, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 2.05 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.

(b) Subject to the terms of this Indenture and the restrictions on transfer and exchange applicable to Notes, the Notes may be presented for exchange as provided herein or for registration of transfer (duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed) at the office of the Registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company for such purpose. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, 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 or transfer pursuant to Section 2.07, Section 3.07 and Section 9.06). Such transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Registrar or such transfer agent, as the case may be, being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the Person making the request. The Company has appointed the Trustee to act as Registrar. The Company may at any time designate a transfer agent or rescind the designation of a transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts; provided that the Company will be required to maintain the Registrar or a transfer agent, as the case may be, in the Place of Payment for each series of the Notes.

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

(d) Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (i) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.04 and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection, (ii) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption, or tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in connection with a Change of Control Offer, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part or (iii) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

(e) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the owner thereof (whether or not such Note may be overdue) for the purpose of making payments on such Note and for all other purposes.

(f) At the option of the Holder, subject to the terms of this Indenture and the restrictions on transfer and exchange applicable to Notes, the Notes of each series may be transferred to designated transferee or transferees or exchanged for other Notes of the same series of any authorized denomination and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for transfer or exchange at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, one or more replacement Notes in accordance with the provisions of Appendix A.

Section 2.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.06, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note of any series issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes of such series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 2.07 Temporary Notes.

Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders and beneficial owners, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders or beneficial owners, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

Section 2.08 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to any record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposition of all cancelled Notes shall, upon Company’s request, be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09 Defaulted Interest.

Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Note of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election, in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes of such series (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (a). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Notes of such series in the manner set forth in Section 12.02, not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so transmitted, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes of such series (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid and to accrue interest, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.10 Computation of Interest.

Interest on the Notes of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 2.11 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use); provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee makes any representation as to the correctness of CUSIP or ISIN numbers as printed on any Note or any notice to Holders, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or in any such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. No notice or exchange shall be affected by any defect in or omission of such CUSIP or ISIN numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

Section 3.02 Redemption Procedures.

In the case of Definitive Notes, a new Definitive Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Definitive Note. In the case of Global Notes, the outstanding principal amount of the Global Note representing the Notes will be reduced by book-entry. Notes called for redemption shall become due on the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, interest stops accruing on Notes or portions of them called for redemption (unless there is a default in the payment thereof).

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

(a) At the Company’s written request made at least ten (10) days prior to the date the notice of redemption is to be given (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense.

(b) Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail or, with respect to Global Notes, delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the Applicable Procedures at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

(c) Any notice to Holders of Notes of any redemption will include the appropriate calculation of the Redemption Price, but does not need to include the Redemption Price itself. The actual Redemption Price, calculated as described above, will be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date.

(d) Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed or, with respect to Global Notes, delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the Applicable Procedures not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register.

Any such notice of redemption may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

Section 3.04 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all the Notes of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures or, in the case of Definitive Notes, by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate from the Outstanding Notes of such series not previously called for redemption; provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Note shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Notes redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Notes which has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 3.05 Deposit of the Redemption Price.

Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Notes which are to be redeemed on such Redemption Date.

Section 3.06 Notes Payable on the Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with the notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on the Interest Payment Dates falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders of such Notes (or Predecessor Notes) as of the close of business on the relevant Record Date according to the Notes and this Indenture.

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Note.

Section 3.07 Notes Redeemed in Part.

Any Note represented by a Definitive Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place(s) of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement, 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 Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes of the same series and of like tenor, 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 amount of the Note so surrendered.

Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption.

The Company shall have no obligation to redeem, purchase or repay the Notes pursuant to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof.

COVENANTS

Section 4.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Notes that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Notes of that series in accordance with the terms of the Notes and this Indenture.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Notes an office or agency where Notes of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Notes of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 4.03 Money for Payments on Notes to Be Held in Trust.

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Notes, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m. (local time at the Place of Payment) on or before each due date of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any of the Notes of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Notes, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any Notes of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Notes other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.03, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Notes of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes of that series.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Request direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any Note of any series and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust, and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 4.04 Statement by Officers as to Default.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

Section 4.05 Existence.

Subject to ARTICLE 5, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.06 Maintenance of Properties.

The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.06 shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.07 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (ii) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

Section 4.08 Limitation on Liens.

The Company will not itself, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to incur, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed or any other indebtedness evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed (“Debt”) secured by pledge of, or mortgage, deed of trust or other lien on, any Principal Property owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any shares of stock or other ownership interests or Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (collectively, “Mortgages”), without effectively providing that the Notes of all series (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Debt of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinate to the Notes) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured Debt, so long as such secured Debt shall be so secured, unless, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all such secured Debt which would otherwise be prohibited, plus all Attributable Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions which would otherwise be prohibited by Section 4.09 would not exceed the sum of 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, that this Section 4.08 shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from secured Debt in any computation under this Section 4.08, Debt secured by:

Section 4.09 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

The Company will not itself, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, unless either:

Section 4.10 Waiver of Certain Covenants.

Subject to Section 9.02, the Company may, with respect to the Notes of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in this Indenture if, before the time for such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 4.11 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Repurchase Event.

(a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs in respect of the Notes, unless all of the Notes have been called for redemption, the Company will be required to make an offer to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment.

Within thirty (30) days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the proposed Change of Control, the Company will transmit, or cause to be transmitted, a notice to the Trustee and each Holder, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase Notes (the “Change of Control Offer”) on the payment date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”) specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days from the date such notice is transmitted, other than as may be required by law. The notice shall, if transmitted prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice and shall also specify:

(8) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion will be equal to a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Holders of Notes electing to have their Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities or corporate laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities or corporate laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

(f) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company, and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to its Change of Control Offer.

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Change of Control or Change of Control Repurchase Event until the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the Company and, in the absence of receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no Change of Control or Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty (i) to monitor, determine or inquire as to the rating of the Notes by any Rating Agency, including, without limitation, as to whether the Notes carry an Investment Grade Rating from any Rating Agency or as to whether any Rating Agency has at any time or during any period of time reduced or upgraded its rating of the Notes below or above an Investment Grade Rating or (ii) unless otherwise requested in writing by the Company, to provide notice of or disseminate to any Person, including without limitation, any Holder, any information received from a Rating Agency pursuant to clause (i) of the proviso of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event.

Section 4.12 Reports by Company.

(a) The Company shall file with the Trustee and the SEC, and transmit to Holders, such information, documents and other reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act; provided that any such information, documents or reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee within thirty (30) calendar days after the same is so required to be filed with the SEC. To the extent the Company has filed such information with the SEC through the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system, or any successor system employed by the SEC, the Company shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 4.12. The Trustee shall have no duty to search for or obtain any electronic or other filings that the Company makes with the SEC, regardless of whether such filings are periodic, supplemental or otherwise.

(b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice 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 exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

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

(3) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 6.01 specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Notes other than such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of ninety (90) days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

(4) default by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any Material Indebtedness, whether such Material Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, (i) resulting in such Material Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of any such Material Indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise; provided, that any Event of Default under either of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall be deemed cured and not to be continuing upon the payment of such indebtedness or the rescission or annulment of any acceleration of such indebtedness;

(5) commencement by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor of a voluntary case under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or the consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any Bankruptcy Law, or the consent to the appointment or taking possession by a Custodian of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, respectively, or for all or substantially all of their respective properties, or the making of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(6) entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor by a court of competent jurisdiction in an involuntary case under any applicable Bankruptcy Law, or the appointment of a Custodian of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, respectively, or for all or substantially all of their respective properties, or the ordering of the winding up or liquidation of their respective affairs, and such decree or order remains unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days; or

(7) except as permitted by this Indenture, (i) the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect, or (ii) the Subsidiary Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm the Obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 6.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6)) with respect to Notes of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Notes of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6) with respect to Notes of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Notes of that series shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration with respect to Notes of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this ARTICLE 6 provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(1) all overdue interest on all Notes of that series;

(2) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes;

(3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes; and

(4) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(b) all Events of Default with respect to Notes of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Notes of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if:

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days; or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Notes and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If an Event of Default with respect to Notes of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 6.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of any judicial proceeding relating to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

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 Notes 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; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

Section 6.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 6.06 Application of Money Collected.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this ARTICLE 6 shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07; and

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal and any premium and interest, respectively.

Section 6.07 Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any Note of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of any Custodian, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of that series;

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Trustee has failed to institute any such proceeding for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity; and

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of that series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such 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 of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

Section 6.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 2.09) interest on such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.09 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 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.06, 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 shall, to the extent permitted by law, be 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 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this ARTICLE 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.12 Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of any series shall have the right to 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 the Trustee, with respect to the Notes of such series; provided that:

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture; and

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

The Trustee may also refuse to follow any direction that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default:

(a) in the payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any Note of such series; or

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under ARTICLE 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note of such series affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.14 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, suffered or omitted by it in its capacity as the Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (whether incurred before trial, at trial, on appeal or in any bankruptcy or arbitration or other administrative proceeding), against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section 6.14 nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

Section 6.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not 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 had been enacted.

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

(c) to indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section 7.07, except to the extent that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due to its own negligence or bad faith.

The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes as to all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or Section 6.01(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.09 and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this ARTICLE 7.

Section 7.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11.

The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Notes of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may at the Company’s expense petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series.

The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Notes of any series upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

If at any time:

(a) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six (6) months;

(b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or

(c) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Notes, or (B) subject to Section 6.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all other similarly situated Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Notes and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Notes of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Notes of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Notes of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Notes of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11. If, within ninety (90) days after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 7.11, the Trustee being removed, at the Company’s expense, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note of such series for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of itself and all other similarly situated Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series.

The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series to all Holders of Notes of such series in the manner provided in Section 12.02. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

Section 7.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Notes, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; provided, however, that, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) 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, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) 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 Trustees as 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. 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 act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; provided, however, that, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, 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 first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

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 7.

Section 7.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this ARTICLE 7. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

Section 7.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents acceptable to the Company with respect to one or more series of Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 2.06, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.14, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.14, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 7.14.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 7.14.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.14, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 12.02 to all Holders of Notes of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor Authenticating Agent hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 7.14.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 7.14, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 7.07.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 7.14, the Notes of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Notes of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three (3) Business Days after the date the Officer of the Company set forth in Section 12.02 actually receives such application, unless such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 7.16 Reports by Trustee.

(a) The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

ARTICLE 8

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 applied to any series of Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this ARTICLE 8. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option to defease and discharge indebtedness with respect to the Notes of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Notes as provided in this Section 8.02 on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“Defeasance”). For this purpose, Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Notes and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the written request and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments, prepared by the Company in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 and as more fully set forth in Section 8.04, payments in respect of the principal of, and any premium and interest on, such Notes when payments are due; (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Section 2.05, Section 2.06, Section 2.07, Section 4.02 and Section 4.03; (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; and (4) this ARTICLE 8. Subject to compliance with this ARTICLE 8, the Company may exercise its option to have this Section 8.02 applied to any Notes notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option to have Section 8.03 applied to such Notes.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise of its option to defease certain restrictive covenants in this Indenture with respect to the Notes of any series, (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 5.01(3), Section 4.06 through Section 4.09, inclusive, and Section 4.11, (2) the Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from the Subsidiary Guarantee provided pursuant to Article 10 and (3) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 6.01(3) (with respect to any of Section 5.01(3), Section 4.06 through Section 4.09, inclusive, Section 4.11 and any such covenants in connection with the Subsidiary Guarantee provided pursuant to Article 10), Section 6.01(4) and Section 6.01(7) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case, with respect to such Notes as provided in this Section 8.03 on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 6.01(3)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the exercise of either the Defeasance option under Section 8.02 or the Covenant Defeasance option under Section 8.03 with respect to the Notes:

As used herein, “U.S. Government Obligation” means (x) any security which is (i) a direct obligation of the United States for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States, which, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is specified in clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held; provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt;

(2) in the event of an election to have Section 8.02 apply to any Notes or any series of Notes, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in the case of either clause (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Notes will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur;

(3) in the event of an election to have Section 8.03 apply to any Notes or any series of Notes, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Notes will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur;

(4) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that neither such Notes nor any other Notes of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit;

(5) no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Notes or any other Notes shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Section 6.01(5) and Section 6.01(6), at any time on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such ninetieth (90th) day);

(6) such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Notes are in default within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act);

(7) such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not 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;

(8) such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under the Investment Company Act or exempt from registration thereunder; and

(9) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.03, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section 8.05 and Section 8.06, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of any Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through the Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Notes.

Anything in this ARTICLE 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 with respect to any Notes which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Notes.

Section 8.06 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this ARTICLE 8 with respect to any Notes by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Notes from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this ARTICLE 8 with respect to such Notes, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 8.05 with respect to such Notes in accordance with this ARTICLE 8; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, or any premium or interest on, any such Note following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

ARTICLE 9

The Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Obligations. The Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise, (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof, (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations or any of them or (e) any change in the ownership of the Company.

The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Subsidiary Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

The Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full or pursuant to Section 10.02 and Section 10.03), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever (other than payment of the Obligations in full or pursuant to Section 10.02 and Section 10.03) or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be (to the extent permitted by law) discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

The Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Obligations or until the Subsidiary Guarantor is released from the Subsidiary Guarantee upon the merger or the sale of all or substantially all of the common stock of, or other ownership interests in, or assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor in compliance with Section 10.02, or upon its release from the Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to Section 10.03. The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, unless the Subsidiary Guarantee has been released pursuant to Section 10.02 or Section 10.03, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against the Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (ii) without duplication of any amounts included in the preceding clause (i), accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest), if any, on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

The Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantee.

The Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge Upon Merger or Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor; Termination on Conversion.

(a) The Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Subsidiary Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees of other indebtedness of the Company), result in the Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(b) Subject to Section 5.01, the Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell all or substantially all of its assets to any Person (including, without limitation, the Company) without limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subsidiary Guarantor shall not merge or consolidate with any Affiliate of the Company, or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any Affiliate of the Company, unless:

(1) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if not the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor) or to whom such sale is made (if not the Company) (i) is a corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and (ii) assumes all the Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and

(2) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture.

The preceding clauses (1) and (2) shall not apply to any merger or consolidation of the Subsidiary Guarantor with the Company or with any Person other than an Affiliate of the Company, or to any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to the Company or to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Company.

(c) The Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed released from all of its Obligations under this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee, and the Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate, upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to ARTICLE 11. At the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver any documents, instructions or instruments evidencing the consent of the Holders to any release in accordance with this ARTICLE 10.

Section 10.03 Release of the Subsidiary Guarantee.

The Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed released from all of its Obligations under this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee, and the Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate, without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes, upon such time as the Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to guarantee the indebtedness of the Company other than indebtedness not exceeding $75,000,000 in the aggregate (it being understood that indebtedness of the Company that is guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor and that also provides that the guarantee of the Subsidiary Guarantor under such indebtedness shall be released and relieved upon such time as the Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to guarantee any of the Company’s indebtedness other than indebtedness not exceeding $75,000,000 or more in the aggregate shall not be considered in calculating the amount of indebtedness hereunder). Accordingly, if the lenders under the Company’s indebtedness in excess of $75,000,000 in the aggregate that is guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor agree to release the Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of such indebtedness in excess of $75,000,000 in the aggregate, or the Company’s indebtedness in excess of $75,000,000 in the aggregate that is guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor is repaid in full, the Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed released from all of its Obligations under this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee, and the Subsidiary Guarantee will terminate, without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes.

Section 10.04 Waiver of Subrogation.

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, the Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company in respect of payments made by the Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Company on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Subsidiary Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of the Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by the Subsidiary Guarantor (duly endorsed by the Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations. Upon the payment in full of the Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantor will be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Company in respect of any amount paid by the Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantee.

(b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and

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 if such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions 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.

(2) an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 12.05) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent and covenants, if any, have been complied with.

In giving such Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely as to factual matters on an Officers’ Certificate or on certificates of public officials.

Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than a certificate provided pursuant to Section 4.04 or Section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall include:

(1) a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(3) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such Officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Officer or Officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by, or at a meeting of, Holders. The Registrar or the Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for their respective functions.

Section 12.08 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporators, Members, Partners and Stockholders.

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.

By its acceptance of a Note, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 12.10 Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR, THE TRUSTEE AND THE HOLDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Nothing in this Indenture or the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or the Notes.

Section 12.14 Withholding; Offset.

The Company shall be entitled to reduce or otherwise set-off against any payments made or deemed made by the Company to Holders in respect of the Notes for any amounts the Company believes it is required to withhold by law. Any amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 12.14 shall be paid over by the Company to the appropriate taxing authority.

Section 12.15 Holder Documentation.

Prior to or upon the occurrence of any event that results in an actual or deemed payment by the Company to Holders in respect of the Notes, the Company may request a Holder to furnish any appropriate documentation that may be required in order to determine the Company’s withholding obligations under applicable law (including, without limitation, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI, as appropriate). Upon the receipt of any such documentation, or in the event no such documentation is provided, the Company will withhold, or cause to be withheld, to the extent required by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have any obligation pursuant to this Section 12.15 unless, and solely to the extent, as may otherwise be required by applicable law.

Section 12.18 Table of Contents, Headings, etc.

The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Indenture and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 12.19 U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as the Trustee may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.

Section 12.20 Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, repurchase date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, the Redemption Date, the repurchase date or the Stated Maturity of the Notes; provided that no interest will accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, repurchase date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of this Appendix A or otherwise in accordance with the Restricted Notes Legend, and are accompanied by a certification from the transferor in the form attached to the Transfer Restricted Note for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such Opinions of Counsel, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto.

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial ownership interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, together with:

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Trustee, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial ownership interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If the applicable Global Note is not then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, a new applicable Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial ownership interest in one Global Note to a beneficial ownership interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such beneficial ownership interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial ownership interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such beneficial ownership interest is being transferred.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.3 of this Appendix A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(d) Restrictions on Transfer of Global Notes; Voluntary Exchange of Interests in Transfer Restricted Global Notes for Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes.

(i) Transfers by an owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through another Transfer Restricted Global Note shall be made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Restricted Notes Legend on such Rule 144A Global Note and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification from the transferor in the form attached to the Rule 144A Global Note for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such Opinions of Counsel, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto.

(ii) During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, the Restricted Notes Legend on such Regulation S Global Note and any applicable securities laws of the United States or any state of the United States. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial ownership interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such beneficial ownership interest through a Rule 144A Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Restricted Notes Legend and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial ownership interest in the form provided on the Regulation S Global Note for exchange or registration of transfers. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period. Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of the Indenture.

(iii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial ownership interests in an Unrestricted Global Note upon certification in the form attached to the Regulation S Global Note for an exchange from a Regulation S Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note.

(iv) Beneficial ownership interests in a Transfer Restricted Note that is a Rule 144A Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial ownership interests in an Unrestricted Global Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange is in respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form attached to the Rule 144A Global Note) and/or upon delivery of such Opinions of Counsel, certifications and other information as the Company or the Trustee may reasonably request.

(v) If no Unrestricted Global Note is outstanding at the time of a transfer or exchange contemplated by the preceding clauses (iii) and (iv), the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate a new Unrestricted Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.
