Dating.

authentication shall be substantially in the form included in Exhibit A
hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this
Indenture.  The Notes may have notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, exchange rule or usage in
addition to those set forth on Exhibit A.

and integral multiples thereof.  The
terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute a part of this
Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of

Indenture shall govern and be controlling.


 


11

















 


(b) Form of Notes.  Notes shall be issued in global form and
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including
the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in
the Global Note” attached thereto). 
Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule
of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto).  Each Global Note shall represent such
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified
therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from
time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and
redemptions and transfers of interests therein. 
Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase
or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the
Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as
required by Section 2.06 hereof.


 


(c) Temporary Global Notes.  Notes offered and sold in reliance on
Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of
the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, at its New York office, as
custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or
the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on
behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and
authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.  The Distribution Compliance Period shall be
terminated upon the receipt by the Trustee of (i) a written certificate
from the Depositary, together with copies of certificates from Euroclear and
Clearstream certifying that they have received certification of non-United
States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial
owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Distribution
Compliance Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the
Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in
a Global Note, bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b) hereof),
and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate from the Company.  Following the termination of the Distribution
Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global
Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent
Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.  Simultaneously with the authentication of the
Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel the Regulation S
Temporary Global Note.  The aggregate
principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S
Permanent Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by
adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its
nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interests as
hereinafter provided.


 


(d) Book-Entry Provisions.  This Section 2.01(d) shall apply
only to Global Notes deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the
Depositary.  Participants and Indirect
Participants shall have no rights under this Indenture or any Global Note with
respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the
Trustee as custodian for the Depositary, and the Depositary shall be treated by
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the
Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary
and its Participants or Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the
operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of
the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.


 


(e) Euroclear and Clearstream
Procedures Applicable.  The
provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and
Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of
Clearstream” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream shall be applicable to
transfers of beneficial interests in Global Notes that are held by Participants
through Euroclear or Clearstream.


 


(f)  Certificated Securities.  The Company shall exchange Global Notes for
Definitive Notes if: (1) at any time the Depositary notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the Global
Notes or if at any time the Depositary shall no longer be eligible to act as
such because it ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange
Act, and, in either case, the Company shall not have appointed a successor
Depositary within 120 days after the Company receives such notice or become
aware of such ineligibility, (2) the Company, in its discretion and in
accordance with the rules of the Depositary, determines not to require
that all of the Notes be represented by a Global Note and the Company notify
the Trustee of its decision or (3) upon 


 


12

















 


written request of the Trustee if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes
represented by a Global Note and the Trustee shall have received a written
request from the Depositary to issue such Notes in certificated form.


 


Upon
the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clauses (1), (2) or (3) above,
the Company shall execute, and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in
accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, Definitive Notes, in authorized denominations, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange
for such Global Notes.


 


In
no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the
Company for Definitive Notes prior to (x) the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period and (y) the receipt by the Registrar of any
certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the
Securities Act.


 


Upon
the exchange of a Global Note for Definitive Notes, such Global Note shall be
cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee.  Definitive Notes issued in exchange for a
Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.01 shall be registered in such
names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to
instructions from its Participants or its Applicable Procedures, shall instruct
the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee in writing.  The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such
Definitive Notes to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such
Definitive Notes are so registered or to the Depositary.


 


Section 2.02.                Execution
and Authentication.


 


(a) One Officer of the Company
shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile
signature.


 


(b) If an Officer whose
signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is
authenticated by the Trustee, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.


 


(c) A Note shall not be valid
until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.


 


(d) The Trustee shall, upon a
written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate
Notes for issuance.


 


(e) The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  Unless otherwise provided in such
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the
Trustee may do so.  Each reference in
this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
agent.  An authenticating agent shall
have the same rights as the Trustee to deal with Holders, the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company.


 


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 (“Registrar”) and an office or

Agent”).  The Registrar
shall keep a register (the “Security Register”)
of the Notes 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 Paying
Agent or Registrar without 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 Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


(b) The Company initially
appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to
act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

(c) The Company initially
appoints the Trustee to act as Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as

initially act.


 


Section 2.04.                Paying
Agent to Hold Money in Trust.


 


The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or
the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any
default by the Company in making any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee
may require a Paying Agent to pay all funds held by it relating to the Notes to
the Trustee.  The Company at any time may
require a Paying Agent to pay all funds held by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying
Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further
liability for such funds.  If the Company
or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate
trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all funds held by it as Paying
Agent.  Upon any Event of Default under
Sections 6.01(e) and (f) hereof relating to the either of the
Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.


 


Section 2.05.                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

Registrar, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee at
least seven 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 or such shorter time as the Trustee may allow, as the Trustee may

of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note prior to (x) the
expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period and (y) the receipt by
the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under

and the Registrar receives the following:


 


(A)  if the transferee will take
delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the

Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in
the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain
compliance with the Securities Act.


 


(v)   Transfer or Exchange of
Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in
a Restricted Global Note Prohibited.  Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted

receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in
accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate a
replacement Note.  If required by the
Trustee or the Company, the Holder of such Note shall provide an indemnity bond
that is sufficient, in the judgment of the Trustee or the Company, to protect
the Company as determined for itself, the Trustee as determined for itself, any
Agent as determined for itself and any authenticating agent from any loss that
any of them may suffer in connection with such replacement.  If required by the Company, such Holder shall
reimburse the Company for its reasonable expenses in connection with such
replacement.

Every
replacement Note issued in accordance with this Section 2.07 shall be the
valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same debt as the destroyed,
lost or stolen Note, and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this

reductions in beneficial interests effected by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.06
hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in Section 2.09

pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced note is held by
a bona fide purchaser.

redemption date or a maturity date, funds sufficient to pay Notes payable on
that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no
longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.


 


Section 2.09.                Treasury
Notes.


 


In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have
concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or
by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding,
except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that
the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.


 


Section 2.10.                Temporary
Notes.


 


Until
certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare
and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02
hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the
form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the

Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes, as applicable.  After preparation of Definitive Notes, the

Temporary Notes.


 


Holders
of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture
equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

of the Exchange Act or other applicable laws). 
Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be

of Interest; Defaulted Interest.


 


If
the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the
defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest
payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a
subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes
and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note
and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be
fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided
that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the
related Interest Payment Date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days
before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of
the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall

date, the related Interest Payment Date and the amount of such interest to be
paid.

or ISIN Numbers.


 


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

under this Indenture, including directions, waivers, amendments, consents and
redemptions.


 


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

amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to
this Indenture;

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT


 


Section 3.01.                Notices
to Trustee.


 


If
the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption
provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee, at least 35 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date (or such shorter period as allowed by the Trustee), an Officer’s
Certificate setting forth (a) the applicable section of this Indenture
pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (b) the redemption date, (c) the
principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price.


 


Section 3.02.                Selection
of Notes to Be Redeemed.


 


If
less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall
select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes in compliance
with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on
which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other
method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. 
In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be
redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the
outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.


 


The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 
Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or
integral multiples thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to
be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even
if not an integral multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed.  Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for
redemption.


 


Section 3.03.                Notice
of Redemption.


 


At
least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to a redemption date,
the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of
redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder’s
registered address appearing in the Security Register.


 


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


 


(a) the redemption date;


 


(b) the appropriate method for
calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption price
itself; the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officer’s
Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two (2) Business Days
prior to the redemption date;


 


(c) if any Note is being
redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be
redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, if
applicable, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed
portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;


 


(d) the name and address of the
Paying Agent;


 


(e) that Notes called for
redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption
price;


 


(f)  that, unless the Company
defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for
redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;


 


26

















 


(g) the applicable section of
this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being
redeemed; and


 


(h) that no representation is
made as to the correctness of the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers, if any, listed in
such notice or printed on the Notes.


 


At
the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s names and at its expense; provided, however,
that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days (or such
shorter period allowed by the Trustee), prior to the redemption date, an
Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice (in the name
and at the expense of the Company) and setting forth the information to be
stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03.


 


Section 3.04.                Effect
of Notice of Redemption.


 


Once
notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof,
Notes called for redemption shall become irrevocably due and payable on the
redemption date at the redemption price. 
A notice of redemption may not be conditional.


 


Section 3.05.                Deposit
of Redemption Price.


 


On
or prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day prior to any
redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying
Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and, if applicable,
accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall
promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the
redemption date, return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or
the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes to
be redeemed.


 


If
the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after
the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the
portions of Notes called for redemption in accordance with Section 2.08(d) hereof,
whether or not such Notes are presented for payment.  If a Note is redeemed on or after a Regular
Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name
such Note was registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date.  If any Note called for redemption shall not
be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company
to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid
principal from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent
lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the
rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.


 


Section 3.06.                Notes
Redeemed in Part.


 


Upon
surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon
receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof,
the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a
new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note
surrendered.


 


Section 3.07.                Optional

(a) At any time prior to May 1,
2013, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or over
time, after giving the notice required pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, at
a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Price.  Any notice to the Holders of Notes of a
redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07(a) shall include the
calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption price
itself.  The actual redemption price,
calculated as described above, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the
redemption date.


 


(b) On or after May 1,
2013, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or over
time, after giving the notice required pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, at
the redemption prices set forth below. 
The Notes will be redeemable at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount of the Notes to

record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant

payments with respect to, or offer to purchase, the Notes.

time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes
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

to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the
Company, or the filing by the Company of a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or
the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment
of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any
substantial part of its property, or the making by the Company of an assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company in writing of its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of
corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or


 


(g) any other Event of Default
provided with respect to Notes.


 


Upon
receipt by the Trustee of any Notice of Default pursuant to this Section 6.01
with respect to the Notes, a record date shall automatically and without any
other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of
outstanding Notes entitled to join in such Notice of Default, which record date
shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such Notice of
Default.  The Holders of outstanding
Notes on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such
Persons, shall be entitled to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not
such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such
Notice of Default shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the
requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes on such record date (or their
duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after
such record date, such Notice of Default shall automatically and without any
action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect.  Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a
Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the
expiration of such 90-day period, a Notice of Default contrary to or different
from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a Notice of
Default that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, in which event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set
pursuant to this paragraph.


 


Section 6.02.                Acceleration.


 


If
an Event of Default with respect to Notes 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 may declare the principal
amount of all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any
such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become
immediately due and payable.


 


At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Notes 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 provided, the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, 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:


 


(i)    all overdue interest on all
Notes,


 


(ii)   the principal of (and
premium, if any, on) any Notes 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,


 


(iii)  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


 


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


 


34

















 


and


 


(b) all Events of Default with
respect to Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of Notes 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.


 


Upon
receipt by the Trustee of any declaration of acceleration, or any rescission
and annulment of any such declaration, pursuant to this Section 6.02, a
record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be
set for the purpose of determining the Holders of outstanding Notes entitled to
join in such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be,
which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee
receives such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may
be.  The Holders of outstanding Notes on
such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall
be entitled to join in such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the
case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that, unless such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the
case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite
principal amount of outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly
appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such
record date, such declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be,
shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no
further effect.  Nothing in this
paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from
giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a declaration of
acceleration, or a rescission and annulment of any such declaration, contrary
to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a
declaration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, that has been
cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a
new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph.


 


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


 


The
Company covenants that if:


 


(a) 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 30 days, or


 


(b) 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 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 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 relative 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 TIA 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 


 


35

















 


moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute
the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official 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 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;


 


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;
and


 


THIRD:
To the Company or as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


Section 6.07.                Limitation
on Suits.


 


No
Holder of any Note shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial
or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, 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;


 


(b) the Holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes 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 reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;


 


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


 


36

















 


(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;


 


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 4.01) interest on such Note on
the Stated Maturity 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.


 


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 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 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.


 


Upon
receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to Notes, a record
date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for
determining the Holders of outstanding Notes 


 


37

















 


entitled
to join in such direction, which record date shall be the close of business on
the day the Trustee receives such direction. 
The Holders of outstanding Notes on such record date (or their duly
appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such
direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided that, unless such direction shall have become effective by virtue of
Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Notes on such record
date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the
90th day after such record date, such direction shall automatically and without
any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect.  Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent
Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the
expiration of such 90-day period, a direction contrary to or different from,
or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, a direction that has
been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which
event a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this
paragraph.


 


Section 6.13.                Waiver
of Past Defaults.


 


The
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes 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, 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 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; but 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 as
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 against any
such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the TIA;
provided that neither this Section nor the TIA 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 they may lawfully do so) that they 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 they
may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any
such law and covenant that they 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.


 


ARTICLE 7.


 


TRUSTEE

of Trustee


 


(a) If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and

circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.


 


38

















 


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

shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the
Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


(2)   in the absence of bad faith
on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture.  However, the Trustee shall examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the
accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

relieved from liabilities for its own gross negligent action, its own gross
negligent failure to act, or its own gross willful misconduct or bad faith,

accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.12
hereof.

expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way
relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of
this Section 7.01.


 


(e)                 No provision of this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur
any liability.  The Trustee shall be
under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this
Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered
to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.

respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in reliance thereon.

take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or

knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a
Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Company or the Holders of
25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and such notice
references the specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this
Indenture.

negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it
hereunder.


 


Section 7.03.                Individual
Rights of Trustee.


 


The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee
acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90
days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee or
resign.  Any Agent may do the same with
like rights and duties.  The Trustee
shall also be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.


 


Section 7.04.                Trustee’s
Disclaimer.


 


The
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be
accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money
paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this
Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be
responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes
or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to
this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.


 


Section 7.05.                Notice
of Defaults.


 


If
a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to
the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event
of Default within 90 days after the Trustee has notice thereof.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of
Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note,
the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of the Holders.


 


Section 7.06.                Reports
by Trustee to Holders.


 


Within
60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2011, and for so
long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders  a brief report dated as of such reporting
date that complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §313(a) has
occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need
be transmitted).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA §313(b)(2).  The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all
reports as required by TIA §313(c).


 


40

















 


A
copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed
to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which
the Notes are listed in accordance with TIA §313(d).  The Company  shall promptly notify the Trustee when the
Notes are listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof.


 


Section 7.07.                Compensation
and Indemnity.


 


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


 


The
Company shall indemnify the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) or any
predecessor Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) against any and all losses,
claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including
incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys fees (for
purposes of this Article, “losses”)
incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and
expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07)
and 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, except to the extent such
losses may be attributable to its gross negligence or bad faith.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly
of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to
so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under
this Section 7.07, except to the extent the Company has been prejudiced
thereby.  The Company shall defend the
claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel if the
Trustee has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to the Company and in the judgment of such counsel it is advisable
for the Trustee to engage separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not pay
for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.  The Company need
not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss incurred by the Trustee
through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.


 


The
obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the
Trustee and payment in full of the Notes through the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations.


 


To
secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall
have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by
the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and
interest on particular Notes.  Such Lien
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.


 


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


 


Section 7.08.                Replacement
of Trustee.


 


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


 


The
Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days’ prior notice to the
Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the
Company.  The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee
by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:


 


41

















 


(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;


 


(b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief
is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;


 


(c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or


 


(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.


 


If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of
Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as
the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee.  Within one year after the
successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company.


 


If
a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the
Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.


 


If

least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


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


 


In
the case of an appointment hereunder of a separate or successor Trustee with
respect to the Notes, the Company, any retiring Trustee and each successor or
separate Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and deliver an
Indenture supplemental hereto (1) which shall contain such provisions as
shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes as to which
any such retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in such
retiring Trustee and (2) that shall add to or change any of the provisions
of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
separate, retiring or successor Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by
any such other Trustee.


 


Section 7.09.                Successor
Trustee by Merger, etc.


 


If
the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or
banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without
any further act shall, if such successor corporation or banking association is
otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.


 


Section 7.10.                Eligibility;
Disqualification.


 


There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof
that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that
has a

combined
capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of
a bank or trust company, or of a bank holding company, the principal subsidiary
of which is a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50.0 million) as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition.


 


This
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA
§310(a)(1), (2) and (5).  The
Trustee is subject to TIA §310(b).


 


Section 7.11.                Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company.


 


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

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT
DEFEASANCE


 


Section 8.01.                Option
to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 


The
Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the
conditions set forth in this Article 8.


 


Section 8.02.                Legal
Defeasance and Discharge.


 


Upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this
Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged
from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt
represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding”
only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this
Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all
its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on
demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:  (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding
Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04, and
as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes when such payments are due,
(b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2
and Sections 4.01 and 4.02, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection
therewith and (d) this Article 8. 
If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 the option applicable
to this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because
of an Event of Default.  Subject to
compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under
this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03.


 


Section 8.03.                Covenant
Defeasance.


 


Upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from its obligations
under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09,
4.10 and 5.01 hereof and the occurrence of any event specified in clause (c) (with
respect to Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and 5.01 hereof)
or (d) of Section 6.01 shall be deemed not to be or result in an
Event of Default, in each case with respect to the outstanding Notes on and
after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”)
and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of
any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may
omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any 


 


43

















 


term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or
indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or
by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein
or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as
specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected
thereby.


 


Section 8.04.                Conditions
to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.


 


The
following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02
or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes.


 


The
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may be exercised only if:


 


(a) the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust (the “defeasance trust”), for the benefit
of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities,
or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government
Securities, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal, premium, if any,
and interest on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the next
redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company shall specify whether the
Notes are being defeased to maturity or to such particular redemption date;


 


(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming
that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by,
the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) subsequent to the Issue
Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either
case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall
confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal
Defeasance had not occurred;


 


(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming
that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or
loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance
and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
Defeasance had not occurred;


 


(d) no Event of Default under Section 6.01(e) or (f) shall
have occurred at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the cash and/or non-callable U.S.
Government Securities have been deposited in the defeasance trust;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 8.05.                Deposited
Cash and U.S. Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions.


 


Subject
to Section 8.06, all cash and non-callable U.S. Government Securities
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 


 


44

















 


8.05,
the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04
in respect of the outstanding 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 any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all
sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any,
and interest but such cash and securities 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 cash or non-callable U.S. Government
Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and
interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.


 


Anything
in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company
any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under Section 8.04(a)),
are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited
to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 


Section 8.06.                Repayment
to the Company.


 


The
Trustee shall promptly, and in any event, no later than five (5) Business
Days, pay to the Company after written request therefor, any excess money held
with respect to the Notes at such time in excess of amounts required to pay any
of the Company’ Obligations then owing with respect to the Notes.


 


Subject
to any applicable abandoned property law, any cash or non-callable U.S.
Government Securities deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then
held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if
any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such
principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured
creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, 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 The New York Times and
The Wall Street Journal (national
edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash
and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.


 


Section 8.07.                Reinstatement.


 


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

ARTICLE 9.


 


AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER


 


Section 9.01.                Without
Consent of Holders of Notes.


 


Notwithstanding
Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder to:


 


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


 


(b) provide for the assumption by a surviving Person of the obligations
of the Company under this Indenture;


 


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


 


(d) add guarantees with respect to the Notes;


 


(e) secure the Notes; or


 


(f)  add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders
or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company.


 


Section 9.02.                With
Consent of Holders of Notes.


 


Except
as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture and the Notes with the consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes,
including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding voting as a single class
(including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer
or exchange offer for the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, any
existing Default or Event of Default (except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in (i) the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on
the Notes and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this
Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of
each Note affected by such modification or amendment) or compliance with any
provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes,
including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding voting as a single class
(including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer
or exchange offer for the Notes).


 


Without
the consent of each Holder, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02
may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):


 


(a)           change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any
installment of principal of or interest on the Notes;


 


(b)           reduce the amount of, or any premium or interest on, the
Notes;


 


(c)           change the place or currency of payment of principal of,
or any premium or interest on, the Notes;


 


(d)           impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of
any payment on or with respect to the Notes;


 


(e)           reduce the percentage in principal amount of Notes, the
consent of whose Holders is required for modification or amendment of this
Indenture;


 


(f)            reduce the percentage in principal amount of Notes
necessary for waiver of certain defaults; or


 


46

















 


(g)           modify such provisions with respect to modification and
waiver.


 


The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes may on behalf of the Holders
of all Notes waive any past default under this Indenture, except a default in
the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or
in respect of a provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of each Holder affected.


 


The
Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose
of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any supplemental
indenture.  If a record date is fixed,
the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only
such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become
effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to
the date which is 120 days after such record date, any such consent previously
given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled
and of no further effect.


 


It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.


 


After
an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note affected thereby
to such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register a notice briefly
describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. 
Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein,
shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such
amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.


 


Section 9.03.                Revocation
and Effect of Consents.


 


Until
an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a
Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent
Holder of a Note or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any
Note.  However, any such Holder or
subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion thereof if
the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the Trustee receives
an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Notes have consented (and theretofore not revoked such consent) to
the amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


Section 9.04.                Notation
on or Exchange of Notes.


 


The
Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or
waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Company in exchange for
all Notes may issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance
with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that
reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


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


 


Section 9.05.                Trustee
to Sign Amendments, etc.


 


The
Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to
this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect
the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  The Company
may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until its board of
directors (or committee serving a similar function) approves it.  In executing any amended or supplemental
indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01
hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and
an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that
such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and 


 


47

















 


binding
obligations of the Company enforceable against them in accordance with its
terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such amended or supplemental
indenture complies with the provisions hereof.


 


ARTICLE 10.

caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose
an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and
any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes
which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption
date, as the case may be;

of Trust Money.


 


Subject
to provisions of Section 2.04, all money deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in

the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons
entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose

Capitalized
terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture
referred to below unless otherwise indicated.


 


1.             Interest.  The
Rouse Company, LLC, a Delaware limited company (the “Company”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.75% per
annum until maturity.  The Company shall pay interest semi-annually on May 1
and November 1 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on
the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest shall accrue from the most recent
date to which interest has been paid on the Notes (or one or more Predecessor Notes)
or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance of this Note; provided, however, that if there is no existing Default in
the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record
date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that
the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 1, 2011.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


 


2.             Method of Payment.  The
Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the
Persons in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is
registered at the close of business on the April 15 or October 15
next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled
after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest.  The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any,
and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by
check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Security
Register; provided, however,
that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required
with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global
Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire
transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent.  Such payment shall be in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts.


 


3.             Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially,
Wilmington Trust FSB, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying
Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar
without notice to any Holder.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
act in any such capacity.


 


4.             Indenture.  The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture dated as of November 9, 2010 (“Indenture”)
between the Company and the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those
stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S.
Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb).  The Notes are subject to all such terms,
and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such
terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the
express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall
govern and be controlling.  The Notes are
obligations of the Company unlimited in aggregate principal amount.


 


5.             Optional Redemption.


 


(a) At any time prior to May 1,
2013, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or over
time, after giving the notice required pursuant to Section 3.03 of the
Indenture, at a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Price.  Any notice to the Holders of Notes of a
redemption pursuant to Section 3.07(a) of the Indenture shall include
the calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption
price itself.  


 


A-4

















 


The actual redemption price, calculated as described
above, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee
no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date.


 


(b) On or after May 1,
2013, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or over
time, after giving the notice required pursuant to Section 3.03 of the
Indenture, at the redemption prices set forth below.  The Notes will be redeemable at the
redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to
be redeemed) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable
redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if
redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on the dates indicated below:

Any
prepayment pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Indenture.


 


6.             Mandatory Redemption.  The Company shall not be required to make
mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to, or offer to
purchase, the Notes.


 


7.             Notice of Redemption.  Notice
of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its
registered address.  Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes
held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the redemption date
interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.


 


8.             Denominations, Transfer,
Exchange.  The Notes are in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.  This
Note shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from
time to time endorsed hereon and the aggregate principal amount of Notes
represented hereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate,
to reflect exchanges and redemptions. The transfer of Notes may be registered
and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar
and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a
Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
Indenture.  The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any
Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part.  Also, the Company need not
exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a
selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date
and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.


 


9.             Persons Deemed Owners.  The
registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.


 


10.           Amendment, Supplement and
Waiver.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Company
and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class
(including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer
or exchange offer for the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13 of the
Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default (except a continuing
Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, premium, if any,
interest on the Notes) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the
Notes (except for certain covenants and provisions of the Indenture which
cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder) may be waived with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding voting
as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of
or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).  Without the consent of any Holder, the
Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to
cure any ambiguity, manifest error, omission, defect or inconsistency, to
provide for the assumption by a successor of the obligations of the Company
under the Indenture, to provide for uncertificated


 


A-5

















 


Notes
in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to add guarantees with
respect to the Notes, to secure the Notes, to add to the covenants of the
Company for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or to surrender any right
or power conferred upon the Company.


 


11.           Defaults and Remedies.  If any
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the
Notes to be due and payable. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default
arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency described in the
Indenture, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further
action or notice.  Holders may not
enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct
the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold
from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a
Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest)
if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice
to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture
except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest, or
the principal of, the Notes.  The Company
is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance
with the Indenture.


 


12.           Trustee Dealings with
Company.  Subject to
certain limitations, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or
any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.


 


13.           No Recourse Against Others.  No
past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or
stockholder of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any
obligations of the Company under the Indenture, the Notes or for any claim
based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation.  Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such
liability.


 


14.           Authentication.  This
Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the
Trustee or an authenticating agent.


 


15.           Abbreviations. 
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee,
such as:  TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the
entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as
tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act).


 


16.           CUSIP Numbers.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by
the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company have
caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and has directed the Trustee to
use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.  No representation is made as to the accuracy
of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of
redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
placed thereon.


 


The
Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a
copy of the Indenture.  Requests may be
made to:

Rouse Company, LLC

17.           Governing Law.  The law of the State of New York shall govern
and be used to construe this Note without giving effect to applicable
principals of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws
of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

$                      
in such Note[s] or interests (the “Transfer”), to
                                                      
(the “Transferee”), as further specified in
Annex A hereto.  In connection with the
Transfer, the Transferor hereby certifies that:


 


[CHECK ALL THAT APPLY]


 


1.  o  Check if Transferee will
take delivery of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note or a Definitive
Note Pursuant to Rule 144A. 
The Transfer is being effected pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 144A
under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, accordingly, the Transferor hereby
further certifies that the beneficial interest or Definitive Note is being
transferred to a Person that the Transferor reasonably believed and believes is
purchasing the beneficial interest or Definitive Note for its own account, or
for one or more accounts with respect to which such Person exercises sole
investment discretion, and such Person and each such account is a “qualified
institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction
meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and such Transfer is in compliance
with any applicable blue sky securities laws of any state of the United
States.  Upon consummation of the
proposed Transfer in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the
transferred beneficial interest or Definitive Note will be subject to the
restrictions on transfer enumerated in the Private Placement Legend printed on
the 144A Global Note and/or the Definitive Note and in the Indenture and the
Securities Act.


 


2.  o  Check if Transferee will

and, accordingly, the Transferor hereby further certifies that (i) the
Transfer is not being made to a Person in the United States and (x) at the
time the buy order was originated, the Transferee was outside the United States
or such Transferor and any Person acting on its behalf reasonably believed and
believes that the Transferee was outside the United States or (y) the
transaction was executed in, on or through the facilities of a designated
offshore securities market and neither such Transferor nor any Person acting on
its behalf knows that the transaction was prearranged with a buyer in the
United States, (ii) no directed selling efforts have been made in
contravention of the requirements of Rule 903(b) or Rule 904(a) of
Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iii) the transaction is not part
of a plan or scheme to evade the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and (iv) if the proposed transfer is being made prior to the
expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the transfer is not being
made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other
than an Initial Purchaser).  Upon
consummation of the proposed transfer in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture, the transferred beneficial interest or Definitive Note will be
subject to the restrictions on 


 


B-1

or Regulation S.  The
Transfer is being effected in compliance with the transfer restrictions

and in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act;


 


or


 


(b)           o  such Transfer is being effected to the

engaged in any general solicitation within the meaning of Regulation D under
the Securities Act and the Transfer complies with the transfer restrictions
applicable to beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note or Restricted
Definitive Notes and the requirements of the exemption claimed, which certification
is supported by (1) a certificate executed by the Transferee in the form

shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.


 


In
connection with our proposed purchase of
$                        
aggregate principal amount of:


 


(a) 
o  a beneficial interest in a Global Note, or


 


(b) 
o  a Definitive Note,


 


we confirm that:


 


1.             We understand that any
subsequent transfer of the Notes or any interest therein is subject to certain
restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture and the undersigned
agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the
Notes or any interest therein except in compliance with, such restrictions and
conditions and the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).


 


2.             We understand that the offer
and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and
that the Notes and any interest therein may not be offered or sold except as
permitted in the following sentence.  We
agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting
as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell the Notes or any interest
therein, we will do so only (A) to the Company or any subsidiary thereof,
(B) in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a “qualified
institutional buyer” (as defined therein), (C) to an institutional “accredited
investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has
furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to you and to the Company a
signed letter substantially in the form of this letter and, if such transfer is
in respect of a principal amount of Notes, at the time of transfer of less than
$250,000, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to
the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act,
(D) outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of

this paragraph a notice advising such purchaser that resales thereof are
restricted as stated herein.


 

















 


3.             We understand that, on any
proposed resale of the Notes or beneficial interest therein, we will be
required to furnish to you and the Company such certifications, legal opinions
and other information as you and the Company may reasonably require to confirm
that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions.  We further understand that the Notes
purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.


 


4.             We are an institutional “accredited
investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience
in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are
acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.  We have had access to such financial and
other information and have been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions
of representatives of the Company and receive answers thereto, as we deem
necessary in connection with our decision to purchase the Notes.


 


5.             We are acquiring the Notes
or a beneficial interest therein purchased by us for our own account or for one
or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as

the Notes with a view to any distribution thereof in a transaction that would
violate the Securities Act of the securities laws of any state of the United
States or any other applicable jurisdiction.


 


You

authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in
