Each party agrees as follows for the benefit of the other parties and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
ARTICLE I 
DEFINITIONS AND INCORPORATION 
BY REFERENCE
Section 1.01.    Definitions.
“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified Person: any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person.  For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.  No Person (other than the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company) in whom a Receivables Entity makes an Investment in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction will be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries solely by reason of such Investment.
“Agent” means any Registrar, co-registrar or Paying Agent.
“amend” means amend, modify, supplement, restate or amend and restate, including successively; and “amending” and “amended” have correlative meanings.
“Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale Leaseback Transaction means, as at the time of determination, the present value (discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease, compounded annually) of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale Leaseback Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended); provided, however, that if such Sale Leaseback Transaction results in a Capital Lease Obligation, the amount of Indebtedness represented thereby will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Capital Lease Obligation.”
“Attributable Receivables Indebtedness” at any time means the principal amount of Indebtedness which (i) if a Qualified Receivables Transaction is structured as a secured lending agreement, would constitute the principal amount of such Indebtedness or (ii) if a Qualified Receivables Transaction is structured as a purchase agreement, would be outstanding at such time under the Qualified Receivables Transaction if the same were structured as a secured lending agreement rather than a purchase agreement.
“Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar U.S. Federal or state law or law of any other jurisdiction relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or relief of debtors.
“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating on the Notes is lowered in respect of a Change of Control and the Notes are rated below an Investment Grade Rating by both of the Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended until the ratings are announced if, during such 60-day period, the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by both of the Rating Agencies); provided 









that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Company in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event).  The Company shall request the Rating Agencies to make such confirmation in connection with any Change of Control and shall promptly certify to the Trustee as to whether or not such confirmation has been received or denied.
“Board of Directors” means, as to any Person, the board of directors or managers, as applicable, of such Person (or, if such Person is a partnership, the board of directors or other governing body of the general partner of such Person) or any duly authorized committee thereof.
“Business Day” means each day which is not a Legal Holiday.
“Capital Lease Obligations” means, with respect to any Person, the obligations of such Person to pay rent or other amounts under any lease of (or other arrangement conveying the right to use) real or personal property, or a combination thereof, which obligations are required to be classified and accounted for as capital leases on a balance sheet of such Person under GAAP; and, for the purposes of this Indenture, the amount of such obligations at any time shall be the capitalized amount thereof at such time determined in accordance with GAAP.
“Capital Stock” of any Person means any and all shares, interests, participations, rights in or other equivalents (however designated) of such Person’s capital stock, other equity interests whether now outstanding or issued after the Issue Date, partnership interests (whether general or limited), limited liability company interests, any other interest or participation that confers on a Person the right to receive a share of the profits and losses of, or distributions of assets of, the issuing Person, including any Preferred Stock, and any rights (other than debt securities convertible into, or exchangeable for or valued by reference to, Capital Stock until and unless any such debt security is converted into Capital Stock), warrants or options exchangeable for or convertible into such Capital Stock.
“Cash Convertible Notes” means the Company’s 3.75% Cash Convertible Notes due 2015 outstanding on the Issue Date.
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

Subject to Sections 2.16 and 2.17 hereof, when Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request from the Holder of such Notes to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested.  Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorneys duly authorized in writing.  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, new Notes evidencing such transfer or exchange at the Registrar’s request.  No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange.  The Company may require from the Holder payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer taxes or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to a transfer or exchange, but this provision shall not apply to any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.06 or 8.04 hereof (in which events the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes).  The Registrar shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the redemption of Notes, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of the beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by 

-19-






the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry system.
Section 2.08.    Replacement Notes.
If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Holder of such Note furnishes to the Company and the Trustee evidence reasonably acceptable to them of the ownership and the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as in effect on the date of this Indenture are met.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of all to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced.  The Company may charge such Holder for the Company’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing such Note and the Trustee may charge the Company for the Trustee’s expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in replacing such Note.  Every replacement Note shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Company.
Section 2.09.    Outstanding Notes.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by it, (b) those delivered to it for cancellation, (c) to the extent set forth in Sections 9.01 and 9.02 hereof, on or after the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 or 9.02 hereof have been satisfied, those Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered by the Trustee hereunder and (d) those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding.  Subject to Section 2.10 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company.
If the Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
Section 2.10.    Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or any other Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded as though they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actually received an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee established to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company any other obligor on the Notes or any of their respective Affiliates.
Section 2.11.    Temporary Notes.

-20-






Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and 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.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.  Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes.
Section 2.12.    Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall deliver such canceled Notes to the Company.  The Company may not reissue or resell, or issue new Notes to replace Notes that the Company has redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (other than in accordance with this Indenture).
Section 2.13.    Defaulted Interest.
If the Company defaults on a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent permitted by law) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, in accordance with the terms hereof, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at least five Business Days prior to the payment date.  The Company shall fix such special record date and payment date in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee.  At least 10 days before such special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.  The Company may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements (if applicable) of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed and, upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this sentence, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Section 2.14.    CUSIP Number.
The Company in issuing the Notes may use a “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar number, and if so, such CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number used by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Notes and of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number.
Section 2.15.    Deposit of Moneys.
Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.  The principal and interest on a Global Note shall be payable to the Depositary of such Global Note or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Notes represented thereby.  The principal and interest on Physical Notes shall be payable, either in person or by mail, at the office of the Paying Agent.

Section 2.16.    Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.
(a)    The Rule 144A Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Note”). The Regulation S Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Global Note”).  The Rule 144A Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note and any other global notes representing the Notes (collectively, the “Global Notes”) shall bear legends as set forth in Exhibit D.  The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, in each case for credit to an account of an Agent Member, (ii) be delivered to The Bank of New York Mellon as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Exhibit B with respect to Rule 144A Global Note and Exhibit C with respect to Regulation S Global Note.
Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the 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 (which may be in electronic form) furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.
None of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Notes, for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial owner interests, or for any acts or omissions of a Depositary or for any transactions between a Depositary and any beneficial owner or between or among beneficial owners. No owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes shall have any rights under this Indenture, and the Depositary or its nominee, if any, shall be deemed and treated by the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them as the absolute owner and holder of such Notes for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary, or any of its members and any other Person on whose behalf such member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Notes.
(b)    Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees.  Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.17 hereof.  In addition, a Global Note shall be exchangeable for Physical Notes if (i) the Depositary (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act, and, with respect to (x) or (y), the Company thereupon fails to appoint a successor depositary within 90 days of such notice or cessation, (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to effect the issuance of Physical Notes or (iii) upon the request of the Depositary at any time that there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.  In all cases, Physical Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures).

-22-






(c)    In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.16, the Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Notes are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a written order from the Company authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount.
(d)    In connection with the transfer of Global Notes as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.16, the Global Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Notes, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.
(e)    Any Physical Note constituting a Restricted Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.17(b) hereof, or clause (c) or (d) of this Section 2.16 shall, except as otherwise provided by Sections 2.17(a) and Section 2.17(c) hereof, bear the Private Placement Legend or, in the case of the Regulation S Global Note, the legend set forth in Exhibit C, in each case, unless the Company determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law.
(f)    Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note shall, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in such other Global Note and, accordingly, shall thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.
(g)    The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.
Section 2.17.    Special Transfer Provisions.
(a)    Transfers to QIBs.  The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration or any proposed registration of transfer of a Note constituting a Restricted Note to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):

(2)    if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Notes to be transferred consist of Physical Notes which after transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in the Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase 

-23-






in the principal amount of the Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Notes to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Notes so transferred.
(b)    Transfers to Non-QIB Institutional Accredited Investors and Non-U.S. Persons.

(2)    if the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in the Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the certificate, if any, required by clause (b)(1) of this Section 2.17 and (y) written instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures; whereupon (a) the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and (if the transfer does not involve a transfer of outstanding Physical Notes) a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Note to be transferred and (b) the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount; and
(3)    in the case of a transfer to a Non-U.S. Person, if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Notes to be transferred consist of Physical Notes, which after transfer are to be evidenced by an interest in a Regulation S Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of written instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of Physical Notes to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Notes so transferred.
(c)    Private Placement Legend.  Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend.  Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) such Note has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and the Registrar has received an Officers’ Certificate from the Company to such effect or (iii) the requested transfer is after the later of (i) the first anniversary of the Issue Date or (ii) such later date, if any, as may be required by the exemption from registration provided

ARTICLE III     
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT
Section 3.01.    Election To Redeem; Notices to Trustee.
If the Company elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to this Article III, at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to in writing by the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed and the Redemption Price, and deliver to the Trustee, no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained this Article III.  Notice given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.01 may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.
Section 3.02.    Selection by Trustee of Notes To Be Redeemed.
If the Company redeems less than all of the Notes at any time, the Trustee will select Notes by lot on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, based on a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
The Company will redeem Notes of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part.  For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, 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.
The Company will cause notices of redemption to be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  The Company may provide in the notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to the redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person.  Any notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

-25-






The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP numbers thereof) and shall state:
(1)    the Redemption Date;
(2)    the Redemption Price;
(3)    if fewer than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date and upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued;
(4)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(5)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;
(6)    that unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(7)    if such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more conditions precedent, the nature of such conditions precedent;
(8)    the aggregate principal amount of Notes that are being redeemed;
(9)    the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and
(10)    that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.
At the Company’s written request made at least five Business Days prior to the date on which notice is to be given, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s sole expense.
Section 3.04.    Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 hereof is mailed, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price, including any premium, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided that (a) if the Redemption Date is after a record date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant record date; and (b) that if a Redemption Date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the period from such Redemption Date to such succeeding Business Day.  Such notice, if mailed in the manner provided in Section 3.03 hereof, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice.
Section 3.05.    Deposit of Redemption Price.

-26-






On or prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.
On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, including premium, if any, and accrued interest on Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price of and, subject to Section 3.04 hereof, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the Redemption Date.  If any Note surrendered for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate and in the manner provided in the Notes.
Section 3.06.    Notes Redeemed in Part.
If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be redeemed.  The Company will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note.  Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption.  On and after such date, unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price on such date, interest ceases to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for such redemption.
Section 3.07.    Optional Redemption.
(a)    At any time and from time to time, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, prior to the Maturity Date at a price equal to the greater of:
(1)    100% of the aggregate principal amount of any Notes being redeemed, and
(2)    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed, not including unpaid interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points with respect to any Notes, plus, in each case, unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed accrued to the Redemption Date.
The Company will, however, pay the interest installment due on any Interest Payment Date that occurs on or before a Redemption Date to the Holders of the affected Notes as of the close of business on the applicable record date.
(b)    Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.
Section 3.08.    Mandatory Redemption.
The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

The Company may also from 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 or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Notes for such purposes.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
Section 4.03.    Reports to Holders.

Subject to Article IV hereof, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a corporation.

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Notes, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
Whenever the Company shall have a Paying Agent for the Notes, it will, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Company will cause the Paying Agent, other than the Trustee, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which the Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that the Paying Agent will:
i.    hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
i.    give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes; and

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct the Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or the Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or the Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by the Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes and remaining unclaimed for three years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Order, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company 

-29-






for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in New York, New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
Section 4.06.    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.
The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims against the Company or any Subsidiary for labor, materials and supplies, which in the case of either clause (1) or (2) of this Section 4.06, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon a Property; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
Section 4.07.    Limitation on Liens.
The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any of its properties (including Capital Stock of a Subsidiary), whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness of the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured.
Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to this Section 4.07 shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.
Section 4.08.    Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.
(a)    If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or any part (in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Indenture, except that the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.08 in the event that the Company has exercised the right to redeem all of the Notes as described in Section 3.07 hereof.   In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer to purchase all of the Notes at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”) (subject to the rights of Holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date if the Notes have not been redeemed prior to such record date).
(b)    Within 30 days after any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to such Change of Control but after it is publicly announced, provided that a definitive agreement is in place for such Change of Control, the Company must notify the Trustee and give written notice of the 

-30-






Change of Control Repurchase Event to each Holder, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at its address appearing in the security register.  The notice must state, among other things:
(1)    that a Change of Control Repurchase Event has occurred or may occur and the date of such event;
(2)    the purchase price and the purchase date which shall be fixed by the Company on a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed, or such later date as is necessary to comply with requirements under the Exchange Act; provided that the purchase date may not occur prior to the Change of Control;
(3)    that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;
(4)    that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Purchase Date; and
(5)    other procedures that a Holder of Notes must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or to withdraw acceptance of the Change of Control Offer.
(c)    The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.08, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.  The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements described in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
(d)    On the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law:
(1)    accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and
(3)    deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation of the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Company.
Section 4.09.    Restrictions on Sale Leaseback Transactions.
Neither the Company nor any Domestic Subsidiary will enter into any Sale Leaseback Transaction with respect to any asset unless:

-31-






i.    the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary would be entitled to create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof; and
i.    the gross proceeds received by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary in connection with such Sale Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary may enter into a Sale Leaseback Transaction if (x) during the twelve months following the effective date of the Sale Leaseback Transaction, the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary applies an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of such sale or transfer or the Fair Market Value of the property that the Company or Domestic Subsidiary leases in the transaction to (i) the voluntary retirement of the Notes or other Indebtedness of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary, provided that such Indebtedness ranks pari passu or senior to the Notes, or (ii) the acquisition, purchase, construction, development, extension or improvement of any property or assets of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary used or to be used by or for the benefit of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business, or (y) if the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary equally and ratably secures the Notes as described under Section 4.07.
Section 4.10.    Additional Guarantees.
If any Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than a Receivables Entity) becomes a guarantor or obligor in respect of any Triggering Indebtedness, within 10 Business Days of such event the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to enter into a Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall agree to Subsidiary Guarantee the Company’s Obligations under the Notes, fully and unconditionally and on a senior basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released:
i.    upon a sale or disposition of such Subsidiary in a transaction that complies with this Indenture such that such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary;
i.    if the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option as described in Article IX hereof or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or
i.    upon the release of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee under all applicable Triggering Indebtedness.
Section 4.11.    Compliance Certificate.
(a)    The Company and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company 

-32-






is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
(b)    So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
Section 4.12.    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.
The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
ARTICLE V

(2)    immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary of the Successor Company as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by such Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction for purposes of compliance with Section 4.07 hereof, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(3)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such Supplemental Indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.
(c)    For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets or one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or 

-33-






substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.
(d)    The Successor Company will be the successor to the Company and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture, and the predecessor Company, except in the case of a lease, shall be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes.

(5)    one or more defaults shall have occurred under any of the agreements, indentures or instruments under which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary has outstanding Indebtedness in excess of $100.0 million, individually or in the aggregate, and either (a) such default results from the failure to pay such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and such default has not been cured or the Indebtedness repaid in full within 20 days of the default or (b) such default or defaults have resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness and such acceleration has not been rescinded or such Indebtedness repaid in full within 20 days of the acceleration;
(6)    one or more judgments or orders that exceed $100.0 million in the aggregate (net of amounts covered by insurance or bonded) for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments have not been satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and nonappealable;
(7)    any Subsidiary Guarantee by a Significant Subsidiary shall for any reason cease to be, or shall for any reason be held in any judicial proceeding not to be, or asserted in writing by any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance 

-34-






with its terms, except to the extent contemplated by this Indenture and any such Subsidiary Guarantee, and any such Default continues for 10 days;
(8)    the Company or any Significant Subsidiary:
(A)    commences a voluntary insolvency proceeding;
(B)    consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary insolvency proceeding or consents to its dissolution or winding-up;
(C)    consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property;
(D)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 
(E)    generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or
(F)    takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;

(9)    a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
(A)    is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary insolvency proceeding;
(B)    appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of their property;

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
Section 6.02.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) hereof with respect to the Company) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes, may declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all such Notes then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest 

-35-






to the date of acceleration.  If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) hereof with respect to the Company shall occur, such amount with respect to all the Notes shall become automatically due and payable immediately without any further action or notice.  After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the applicable person, the registered Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes then outstanding may cancel such acceleration if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and (ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, that has become due solely because of the acceleration.  No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Subject to Section 7.01 hereof, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity.  Subject to Section 7.06 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding will 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 the Trustee holds with respect to the Notes.
Section 6.03.    Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  Any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee may be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements of the Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative, to the extent permitted by law.  Any costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 6.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Company.
Section 6.04.    Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default.
Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the affected Notes waive any past Default with respect to the Notes and its consequences by providing written notice thereof to the Company and the Trustee, except a Default (1) in the payment of interest on or the principal of any Note or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected.  In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
Section 6.05.    Control by Majority.

-36-






The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of the affected Notes not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Notes.
Section 6.06.    Limitation on Suits.
No Holder of the Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or for any remedy hereunder, unless:
(4)    the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding for 60 days after the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such Notes;
(5)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes have made a written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee; and
(6)    the Trustee has not received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction that is inconsistent with such request.
However, the Holder of any Note will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, such Note on or after the date or dates they are to be paid as expressed in such Note and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment.
Section 6.07.    Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.08.    Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid.
Section 6.09.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law, shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable 

-37-






on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to 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 7.06 hereof.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or 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 proceedings.  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 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 in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
Section 6.10.    Priorities.
Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI, and any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order:
FIRST:  to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof;
SECOND:  to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the affected Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest as to each, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the affected Notes; and
THIRD:  to the Company.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.
Section 6.11.    Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
Section 6.12.    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 occurring upon an 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 VI or by law to 

-38-






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.
ARTICLE VII     
TRUSTEE
Section 7.01.    Duties of Trustee.
(a)    If an Event of Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it under this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
(b)    Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(10)    the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(11)    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 but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same 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, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein).
(c)    No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(3)    this paragraph does not limit the effect of clause (b) or (d) of this Section 7.01;
(4)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(d)    No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or  risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

-39-

(i)    The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books records, and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.
(j)    The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless written notice of such Default or Event of Default from the Company or any Holder is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.
(k)    The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate thereof with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest within the meaning of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign.
Any Agent may do the same with like rights.  The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.09 hereof.
Section 7.04.    Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their 

-41-






correctness.  The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity, sufficiency or adequacy of this Indenture or of the Notes.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof.  The Trustee shall not be responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture.  The Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder.  The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or investigate the Company’s compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty or covenant made in this Indenture.
Section 7.05.    Notice of Defaults.
Within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, and if known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to the Holders of the Notes notice of each Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes known to the Trustee, by transmitting such notice to Holders at their addresses as the same shall then appear on the register of the Notes kept by the Registrar, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes when and as the same shall become payable, or to make any sinking fund payment as to Notes (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such 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 Holders.
Section 7.06.    Compensation and Indemnity.
(a)    The Company shall pay to the Trustee and Agents from time to time such reasonable compensation for their services hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as shall be agreed upon in writing.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and Agents upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred or made by them in connection with the Trustee’s duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and external counsel, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its willful misconduct or negligence.
(b)    The Company shall fully indemnify each of the Trustee and their officers, agents and employees and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by each of them in connection with the acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including, without limitation, settlement costs).  The Trustee or Agent shall notify the Company in writing promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge asserted against the Trustee or Agent for which it may seek indemnity; provided that the failure by the Trustee or Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.  In the event that a conflict of interest exists or potential harm to the Trustee’s business exists, the Trustee may have separate counsel, which counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company need not reimburse the Trustee for any expense or indemnify it against any loss or liability to have been incurred by the Trustee through its own willful misconduct or negligence.

-42-






(d)    To secure the payment obligations of the Company in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and such money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.
(e)    The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee, Agents and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be the liability of the Company and the lien provided for under this Section 7.06 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination of this Indenture for any reason, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law.
(f)    In addition to, but without prejudice to its other rights under this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(8) or Section 6.01(9) hereof occurs, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
(g)    For purposes of this Section 7.06, the term “Trustee” shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights or any other Trustee hereunder.
Section 7.07.    Replacement of Trustee.
(a)    A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.
(b)    The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing no later than 15 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed resignation.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by notifying the Company and the removed Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company may remove the Trustee at its election if:
(7)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof;
(8)    the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief entered with respect to the Trustee under Bankruptcy Law;
(9)    a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(10)    the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
(c)    If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.
(d)    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 principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction, in the case of the Trustee, for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

-43-






(e)    If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
(f)    A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Immediately following such delivery, the retiring Trustee shall, subject to the lien and its rights under Section 7.06 hereof, transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, 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.  A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the lien and Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
Section 7.08.    Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger, etc. 
Any Person into which the Trustee or any successor to it in the trusts created by this Indenture shall be merged or converted, or any Person with which it or any successor to it shall be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or any such successor to it shall be a party, or any Person to which the Trustee or any successor to it shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor Trustee under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII.  In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture with respect to the Notes, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee then in office, any successor to such Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
Section 7.09.    Eligibility; Disqualification. 
There will 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.  The Trustee (together with its corporate parent) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in the most recent applicable published annual report of condition.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflict of interest under or in respect of its duties under this Indenture except and to the extent provided for in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, applied as if this Indenture were qualified under such Act.


ARTICLE VIII     
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER
Section 8.01.    Without Consent of Holders.
The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may modify or amend this Indenture without the consent of any Holder to:

-44-






(1)    cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake or inconsistency in this Indenture;
(2)    provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;
(3)    comply with the requirements of Section 4.10 or 5.01 hereof;
(4)    evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee;
(5)    if required by the requirements of the Commission, comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended;
(6)    make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder;
(7)    secure the Notes;
(8)    provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture;
(9)    add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor;
(10)    conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” contained in the Offering Memorandum; and
(11)    allow any Subsidiary Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Notes.
Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a board resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.05 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.
Section 8.02.    With Consent of Holders.
(c)    The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may modify or amend this Indenture as it applies to the Notes with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes affected by the modification (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes), and any past default or compliance with any provisions of this Indenture relating to the Notes may also be waived (except a default in the payment of principal, premium or interest and a default under clause (b) of this Section 8.02) with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.
(d)    However, no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected thereby:

-45-






(6)    change the due date of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, the Notes;
(7)    reduce the principal amount of, or any premium or interest rate on, the Notes;
(8)    change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or any premium or interest on, the Notes;
(9)    reduce the amount payable upon the redemption of any Note;
(10)    release any Subsidiary Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
(11)    impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the Notes after the due date thereof; or
(12)    reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the consent of whose Holders is required for modification or amendment of this Indenture, for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults.
(e)    The Holders of a majority of the principal amount of then outstanding Notes may waive future compliance by the Company with certain restrictive covenants of this Indenture.  The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of then outstanding Notes may waive any past default under this Indenture, except a failure by the Company to pay the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any Notes or a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of all outstanding Notes.
(f)    In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of the Notes have concurred in any direction, notice, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Subsidiary, or by any Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in conclusively relying on any such direction, notice, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.
(g)    It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment that requires the consent of the Holders of the affected Notes becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each registered Holder of the affected Notes at such Holder’s address appearing in the security register a notice briefly describing such amendment.  However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders of such Notes, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by a board resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.05, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

-46-






Section 8.03.    Revocation and Effect of Consents.
After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note.  However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.  An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver.  If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.
Section 8.04.    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) shall request the Holder of the Note (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) to deliver it to the Trustee.  In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder.  Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.  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 8.05.    Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc. 
The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article VIII if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  If it does affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee, the Trustee may, but need not, sign such amendment, supplement or waiver.  In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating, in addition to the matters required by Section 11.02 hereof, that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.
ARTICLE IX     
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE
Section 9.01.    Satisfaction and Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance.
(h)    This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes which shall survive until all Notes have been canceled) as to all outstanding Notes issued hereunder when:
(1)    either:

-47-






(F)    all the Notes that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from this trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or
(G)    all Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation otherwise (i)  have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable, or may be called for redemption, within one year or (iii) have been called for redemption pursuant to the provisions described under Section 3.07(a) hereof and, in any case, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds, in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness (including all principal and accrued interest) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
(2)    in respect of clause (a)(1)(B) of this Section 9.01, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness) or the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness) or the granting of Liens in connection therewith),
(3)    the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture, and
(4)    the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with.
(i)    Subject to clause (c) of this Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 hereof, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes  (“Legal Defeasance”).  Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees, and this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees, except as to:
(1)    the rights of Holders of the Notes issued under this Indenture to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture;

-48-






(2)    the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes under Section 2.11 hereof, registration of Notes under Section 2.04 hereof, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes under Section 2.08 hereof, and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment under Section 2.04 hereof and money for security payments held in trust under Section 2.05 hereof;
(3)    the rights, powers, trust, duties, and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s obligation in connection therewith; and
(4)    the applicable provisions of this Article IX.
In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors released with respect to (A) their respective obligations under Sections 4.03, 4.07 through 4.11 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes and (B) the operation of Sections 6.01(5), (6), (7) or (8) hereof (only as such clauses (7) or (8) apply to Significant Subsidiaries) (“Covenant Defeasance”) on and after the conditions in Section 9.02 hereof with respect to Covenant Defeasance are satisfied, and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Notes.  The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option regardless of whether it previously exercised Covenant Defeasance.
(j)    If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto.
(k)    Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.
(l)    Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 9.01, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 7.06, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive with respect to the Notes until such time as the Notes have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.06, 9.05 and 9.06 shall survive.
Section 9.02.    Conditions to Defeasance.
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:
i.    the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, as trust funds, in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of  any reinvestment of interest) in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company, to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment or on the Redemption Date of the principal or installment of principal of or interest on such Notes;
i.    in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions:
1.    the Company has received from, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling; or

-49-






1.    since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law;
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon this Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. 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;
(a)    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States who is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of  such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(b)    no Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness) or the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;
(c)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under this Indenture or a default under any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound (other than any such Default or default resulting solely from the borrowing of  funds and the grant of any related liens to be applied to such deposit);
(d)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other of its creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or others; and
(e)    the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance; as the case may be, have been complied with.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, the conditions set forth in the foregoing subsections (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) need not be satisfied so long as, at the time the Company makes the deposit described in subsection (a), (i) no Default under clauses (1), (2), (8) and (9)  under Section 6.01 hereof has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto, and (ii) either (x) a notice of redemption has been mailed providing for redemption of all the Notes not more than 60 days after such mailing and the requirements for such redemption shall have been complied with or (y) the Stated Maturity of the Notes will occur within 60 days.  If the conditions in the preceding sentence are satisfied, the Company shall be deemed to have exercised its Covenant Defeasance option.
If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes, as the case may be, when due, then the Company’s obligations and the obligations of Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

Section 9.03.    Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations To Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
All money and U.S Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.02(a) hereof 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, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.02(a) hereof or the principal, premium, if any, 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 IX to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon a request of the Company any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.02(a) hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
Section 9.04.    Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or U.S. Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article IX until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or accrued interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
Section 9.05.    Moneys Held by Paying Agent.
In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon written demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, or if sufficient moneys have been deposited pursuant to Section 9.02(a) hereof, to the Company upon a request of the Company, and thereupon the Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.
Section 9.06.    Moneys Held by Trustee. 
Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or then held by the Company in trust for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holder of such Note for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Note shall have respectively become due and payable shall be repaid to the Company upon a request of the Company, or if such moneys are then held by the Company in trust, such moneys shall 

-51-






be released from such trust; and the Holder of such Note entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or the Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided that the Trustee or the Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may, at the expense of the Company either mail to each Holder affected, at the address shown in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, or cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, New York, a notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining will be repaid to the Company.  After payment to the Company or the release of any money held in trust by the Company, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.
ARTICLE X     
GUARANTEES
Section 10.01.    Guarantee.
(f)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the Notes and obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, that (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes will be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including, without limitation, the amount that would become due but for the operation of any automatic stay provision of any Bankruptcy Law), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 10.03 hereof.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor.
(g)    Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be discharged as to the Notes, except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note, this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantee.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that the Subsidiary Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal 

-52-






proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to enforce such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Subsidiary Guarantor will pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.
(h)    If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Subsidiary Guarantee of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) subject to this Article X, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
(i)    Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(j)    To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that a Notation of Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit G hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered to the Trustee and that this Indenture or a supplemental indenture to this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by one of its Officers.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a Notation of Guarantee.  The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will be deemed to constitute due delivery of the Notation of Guarantee set forth in this Indenture by the Subsidiary Guarantors.  If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Notation of Guarantee is endorsed, the Notation of Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
Section 10.02.    Severability.

-53-






In case any provision of any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 10.03.    Limitation of Liability.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by each such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and each such Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to this Article X, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 10.04.    Contribution.
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under a Subsidiary Guarantee, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be entitled to a contribution from any other Subsidiary Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP.
Section 10.05.    Subrogation.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.
Section 10.06.    Reinstatement.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor shall agree) that the Subsidiary Guarantee provided for in Section 10.01 hereof shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Holder to the Company upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.
Section 10.07.    Release of a Guarantor. 
If no Default exists or would exist under this Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantee issued by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

-54-






i.    a sale or disposition of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction that complies with this Indenture such that such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company;
i.    the release of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee under all applicable Triggering Indebtedness; or
i.    Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.
Section 10.08.    Benefits Acknowledged. 
Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its respective Subsidiary Guarantee and waiver pursuant to its respective Subsidiary Guarantee is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

2.    Method of Payment.  The Company will pay interest to those persons who were holders of record at the close of business on the January 1 and July 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date.  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid.
3.    Paying Agent and Registrar.  Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”) will act as a Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
4.    Indenture.  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of December 21, 2012 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee.  This is one of an issue of Notes of the Company issued, or to be issued, under the Indenture.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture.  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of them.  Capitalized and certain other terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
5.    Optional Redemption.  At any time and from time to time, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, prior to the Maturity Date at a price equal to the greater of: 
(1)    100% of the aggregate principal amount of any Notes being redeemed, and
(2)    the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed, not including unpaid interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points with respect to any Notes, plus, in each case, unpaid interest on the Notes being redeemed accrued to the Redemption Date. 
The Company will, however, pay the interest installment due on any Interest Payment Date that occurs on or before a Redemption Date to the holders of the affected Notes as of the close of business on the applicable record date.

A-4






“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity or interpolated (on a day count basis) of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.
6.    Redemption Procedures.  If the Company redeems less than all of the Notes at any time, the Trustee will select Notes by lot on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, based on a method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate) unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements.  The Company will redeem Notes of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part.  For all purposes of the Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, provisions of the Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.
7.    Notice of Redemption.  Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.  If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof that is to be redeemed.
8.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture.
9.    Persons Deemed Owners.  The Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.
10.    Unclaimed Money.  If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its request or, if such money is then held by the Company in trust, such money shall be released from such trust.  After that, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company for payment as general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.
11.    Amendment, Supplement, Waiver, Etc.  The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may modify or amend the Indenture without the consent of any Holder to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake or inconsistency in the Indenture and make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of the Holder.  Other amendments and modifications of the Indenture or the Notes may be made by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, subject to certain exceptions requiring the consent of each of the Holders of the Notes to be affected.
12.    Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.  If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or any part (in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the Indenture, except that the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Indenture in the event that the Company has exercised the right to redeem all of the Notes as described in Section 3.07(a) of the Indenture.  In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer to purchase all of the Notes at a purchase price in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of purchase (subject to the rights of 

A-5






Holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date if the Notes have not been redeemed prior to such record date)
13.    Successor Entity.  When a successor entity assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture and the transaction complies with the terms of Article V of the Indenture, the predecessor entity will, except as provided in Article V, be released from those obligations.
14.    Defaults and Remedies.  Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, if an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) of the Indenture with respect to the Company) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes may declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all Notes then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of acceleration.  If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) of the Indenture with respect to the Company shall occur, such amount with respect to all the Notes shall become automatically due and payable immediately without any further action or notice.  The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to a redemption or repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture), 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 Holders.
15.    Trustee Dealings with Company.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate thereof with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
16.    No Recourse Against Others.  No director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors will have any liability for any of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
17.    Discharge.  The Company’s obligations pursuant to the Indenture will be discharged, except for obligations pursuant to certain sections thereof, subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon the payment or cancellation of all the Notes or upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee of United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay when due principal of and interest on the Notes at maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
18.    Guarantees.  The Company’s obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
19.    Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.
20.    Governing Law.  THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS NOTE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
