A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities under the Indenture, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Indenture of the Holders of the Securities. ARTICLE VIII Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are defined in the Indenture and with respect to the Securities generally include: (1) default by the Issuer in the payment of any interest on the Securities when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; (2) default by the Issuer in any payment of principal of or premium (if any) on the Securities when the same becomes due and payable; (3) default by the Issuer in observing or performing any of its other covenants or agreements in, or provisions of, the Securities or the Indenture which shall not have been remedied within 60 days after written notice to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding affected by such default; (4) default by the Issuer on a scheduled payment at maturity, in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million or more, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, of any Indebtedness or the acceleration of any Indebtedness of the Issuer in such aggregate principal amount, so that it becomes due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable and such payment default is not cured or such acceleration is not rescinded within 30 days after notice to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Indebtedness; or (5) certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Issuer. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities affected by such default (or, in the case of an Event of Default described in clause (3) above, if outstanding Securities of other series are affected by such Default, then at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities so affected), may declare the principal of and interest on all the Securities to be immediately due and payable, except that in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Issuer, all outstanding Securities become due and payable immediately without further action or notice by the Trustee or any Holder. The amount due and payable upon the acceleration of any Security is equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of payment. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as A-8 provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests. The Issuer must furnish an annual compliance certificate to the Trustee. ARTICLE IX Discharge Prior to Maturity. The Indenture with respect to the Securities shall be discharged and canceled upon the payment of all of the Securities issued thereunder and shall be discharged except for certain obligations upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of funds or Government Obligations sufficient for such payment. ARTICLE X Trustee Dealings with the Issuer. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee. ARTICLE XI No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Issuer shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities. ARTICLE XII Authentication. The Securities shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. ARTICLE XIII CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Securities. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed thereon. ARTICLE XIV Indenture to Control; Governing Law. In the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Security and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control. The Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent the laws of another jurisdiction would be required to apply.
