waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such

-14-









 








required by law, stock exchange rules or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.



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


          (c) Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and
delivered under this First Supplemental Indenture is unlimited.


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


          The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuer pursuant to a Change of Control Offer
as provided in Section 4.10 hereof. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in
Article 3.


          Additional Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuer without notice to
or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial
Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes.
Except as described under Article 9 hereof, the Notes offered by the Issuer and any Additional
Notes subsequently issued under this First Supplemental Indenture will be treated as a single class
for all purposes under this First Supplemental Indenture, including waivers, amendments,
redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Notes”
for all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture include any Additional Notes that are
actually issued. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture
supplemental to this First Supplemental Indenture.



Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication .



          At least one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile
signature.


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


          A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this First Supplemental Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form provided for in
Exhibit A



-15-









 








attached hereto, by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this First Supplemental
Indenture.



          On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order (an “Authentication
Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time, from time to
time, the Trustee shall upon an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes.
Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated.


          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate
Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this First Supplemental Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes
authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with
Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.



Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent .



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


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


          The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act as the Paying Agent,
Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Notes and the Registrar to act as Custodian with respect to
the Global Notes.



Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust .



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



Section 2.05 Holder Lists .



          The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with
Trust



-16-









 








Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish
to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times
as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Issuer shall
otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a).




Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange .



          (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary
to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee
to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be
exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if:




     (A) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that the
Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no
longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a
successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date
of such notice from the Depositary;




     (B) the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in
whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a
written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or




     (C) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with
respect to the Notes, and the Depositary has notified the Issuer and the Trustee of
its desire to exchange the Global Notes for Definitive Notes.



Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (A) or (B) above, Definitive Notes shall
be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be
exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 and 2.10
hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or
any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be
authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be
exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial
interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c)
hereof.



          (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer
and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary,
in accordance with the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture. Beneficial interests in
any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in a Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to
the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b) and Section 2.06(d) hereof.


          (c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes. If any holder
of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a
Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in
the form of a Definitive Note, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
2.06(b) hereof, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note
to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof, and the Issuer will execute and the
Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive
Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any 



-17-









 








Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) will
be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the
holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through
the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee will deliver such
Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are registered.



          (d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests. A Holder of a
Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such
Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a
Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee
shall cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate
principal amount of one of the Global Notes.


          (e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a
Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section
2.06(e), the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such
registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the
Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized
in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder must provide any additional certifications,
documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this
Section 2.06(e). A Holder of Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes
delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note.


          (f) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form:




“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE FIRST
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY
BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, (II) THIS
GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF
THE FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE
TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY
WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUER. UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN
WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED
EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE
OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE
DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH
SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK)
(“DTC”) TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR
PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH
OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY
PAYMENT IS MADE



-18-









 






TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF,
CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”


          (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial
interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular
Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global
Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11
hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is
exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented
by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global
Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction;
and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global
Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the
Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.


          (h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.




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




     (ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global
Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but
the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or
similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07,
2.10, 3.06, 4.10 and 9.05 hereof).




     (iii) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer
of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part.




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




     (v) The Issuer shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to
exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the
close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange
any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note
between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.




     (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the
Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is




-19-









 






registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes,
and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.




     (vii) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency
of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Issuer shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations
of a like aggregate principal amount.




     (viii) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender
of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or
Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02
hereof.




     (ix) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted
to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or
exchange may be submitted by facsimile.



Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.



          If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Issuer and the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of
any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee
or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment
of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating
agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and/or the
Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.


          Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all
of the benefits of this First Supplemental Indenture equally and proportionately with all other
Notes duly issued hereunder.



Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.



          The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for
those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in
a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described
in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does
not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.


          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 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.


          If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to
be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.



-20-









 







          If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof)
holds, on a Redemption Date or Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date,
then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease
to accrue interest.



Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.



          In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer,
shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned
which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent
with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes or
any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor.



Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.



          Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary
Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the
Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.


          Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to
all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this
First Supplemental Indenture.



Section 2.11 Cancellation.



          The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or
the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the
record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all
cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace
Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.



Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.




          If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted
interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted
interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the
rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall
make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the



-21-









 





benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12.
The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date;
provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related
payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such
special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the
written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail
or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice at his or her address
as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date
and the amount of such interest to be paid.



          Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note
delivered under this First Supplemental Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, which were carried by such other Note.



Section 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.



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



ARTICLE 3




REDEMPTION



Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.



          If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the
Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent, at least 2 Business Days before notice of redemption is
required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof but not
more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the clause
of this First Supplemental Indenture or the subparagraph of such Note pursuant to which the
redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date; (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed, (iv) the redemption price (or the method of calculating it) and (v) each place that
payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed.



Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.



          If less than all of the Notes, are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any
time, the Registrar and Paying Agent shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased (a) if the
Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the
principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, (b) on a pro rata basis or
(c) by lot or by such other method in accordance with the procedures of DTC. In the event of
partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be
selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Registrar and Paying Agent from the outstanding Notes not previously called
for redemption or purchase.



-22-









 







          The Registrar and Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or
purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes
selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of
$2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be
redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not
$2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture that apply to
Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or
purchase.



Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.



          The Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail notices of redemption at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed
at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except
that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is
issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof. Except as set forth in Section 3.07(c)
hereof, notices of redemption may not be conditional.


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




     (a) the Redemption Date;




     (b) the redemption price (or method of calculating it);




     (c) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of
that Note that is to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such
Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued
in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note;




     (d) the place and address that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of
the Notes to be redeemed;




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




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




     (g) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on
Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;




     (h) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this First
Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;




     (i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
and/or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and




     (j) if in connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, any condition
to such redemption.



-23-









 




          At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name
and at its expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least
2 Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to
Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee),
an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the
information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.



Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.



          Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for
redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price
(except as provided for in Section 3.07(c) hereof). The notice, if mailed in a manner herein
provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives
such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the
Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after
the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.



Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.



          Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer shall
deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or
purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that
date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with
the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.


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



Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.



          Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the
same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note will
be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is
understood that, notwithstanding anything in this First Supplemental Indenture to the contrary,
only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for
the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

prior to the Maturity Date.




          (b) The Notes will be redeemable, at the Issuer’s option, at any time in whole or from time to
time in part, at a redemption, or “make-whole,” price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) an amount equal to sum of the
present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be
redeemed (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption (the “Redemption
Date”) and subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due
on the relevant Interest Payment Date) discounted from their scheduled date of payment to the
Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points plus, in each of the above
cases, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to such Redemption Date.




          (c) Any notice of any redemption may be given prior to the redemption thereof, and any such

precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate
transaction.

Agent shall select the Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under Section 3.02 hereof.

notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this First Supplemental
Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the

          The Issuer 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 that no such designation or rescission shall in any
manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan in the City of New York, for such purposes. The Issuer shall 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.




          The Issuer hereby designates the office of the Registrar at the address specified in Section

hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this First Supplemental
Indenture; and the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor (to the extent that they may lawfully do so)
hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not,

Assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, then:




          (a) the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured
by Mortgages; and




          (b) the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction.

Guarantee is been outstanding, the Parent Guarantor, shall do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, rights

Parent Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, if respective
board of directors shall in good faith determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business.



Section 4.10 Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control.

all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for

interest;




     (4) that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment,
all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue
interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (a) the notice is mailed in a manner
herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice
but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly
received such notice without defect. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such
laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change
of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities
laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section
4.10 by virtue thereof.

otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.10 applicable to a Change
of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn
under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of
Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of
Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of
the Change of Control Offer.




          (d) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.10, any purchase pursuant to this
Section 4.10 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 hereof.



Section 4.11 Discharge and Suspension of Covenants.




          (a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from
both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this First Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer and the Subsidiaries will not be subject to Section 4.10
hereof (the “Suspended Covenant”).

Covenant under this First Supplemental Indenture for any period of time as a result of the
foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating
Agencies (1) withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes
below an Investment Grade Rating and/or (2) the Issuer or any of its Affiliates enters into an
agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and one or more of the
Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related
recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its
Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade
Rating, then the Issuer and the Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended
Covenant under this First Supplemental Indenture with respect to future events, including, without
limitation, a proposed transaction described in clause (2) above.




          (c) In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement shall give rise to a Default or Event
of Default under this First Supplemental Indenture with respect to Notes.




          (d) The Issuer shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of
any such occurrence under this Section 4.11.

(so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other
disposition, the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture referring to the Issuer or the
Parent Guarantor, as applicable, shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the
Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable), and may exercise every right and power of the
Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, as applicable, under this First Supplemental Indenture with the
same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, as
applicable, herein; provided that the predecessor Issuer shall not be relieved from the
obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale,

produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note
in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.



Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.




          Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing
Default and its consequences hereunder, except a past Default in the payment (a) in principal of,
premium if any, or interest on, any Note, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with
respect to the Notes, or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which pursuant to Article
9 hereof cannot be modified or amended, without the consent of Holders of each outstanding Note
affected); provided, subject to Section 6.02 hereof, that the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any
such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this First Supplemental Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.



Section 6.05 Control by Majority.




          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this First Supplemental Indenture or that the
Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would
involve the Trustee in personal liability.



Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.




          Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this
First Supplemental Indenture or the Notes unless:





     (1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is
continuing;




     (2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have
requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;




     (3) Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;



-34-









 






     (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt
thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and




     (5) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not
given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.



          A Holder of a Note may not use this First Supplemental Indenture to prejudice the rights of
another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.



Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.




          Notwithstanding any other provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on
or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with a Change of
Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.



Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.




          If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust
against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining
unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel.



Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.




          If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this First Supplemental Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every
such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding has been instituted.



Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.




          Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.



Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.




          No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article or




-35-









 




by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.



Section 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.




          The Trustee is authorized to 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 the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer
(or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Parent Guarantor), its creditors or its property
and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of
creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims 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 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any
reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled
to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. 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 of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.



Section 6.13 Priorities.




          If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in
the following order:





     (i) to the Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent, their agents and attorneys
for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or
Transfer Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;




     (ii) to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal,
premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and premium, if any, and
interest, respectively; and




     (iii) to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct,
including the Parent Guarantor, if applicable.



          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes
pursuant to this Section 6.13.




-36-









 







Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs.




          In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this First Supplemental Indenture
or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a 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, 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 6.14 does not
apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a
suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.




ARTICLE 7




TRUSTEE


Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.




          (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this First Supplemental Indenture, and use the same degree of
care and skill in its 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:





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




     (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
First Supplemental Indenture. However, 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 examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform
to the requirements of this First Supplemental Indenture.



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





     (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;




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




     (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05
hereof.



-37-









 





          (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this First Supplemental
Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 7.01.




          (e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under
this First Supplemental Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes
unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it
against any loss, liability or expense.




          (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.



Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee.




          (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or
matter stated in the 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 Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall
incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.




          (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee
may consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.




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




          (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this First
Supplemental Indenture.




          (e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this First Supplemental Indenture, any demand,
request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the
Issuer.




          (f) None of the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, 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 indemnity satisfactory
to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.




          (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any
event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this First Supplemental Indenture.




-38-









 








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




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



Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.




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



Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.




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



Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.




          If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the
case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note,
the Trustee may
withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as a committee of
its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests
of the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of any Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any
event which is such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee.



Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.




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




-39-









 








          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to
the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in
accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee
when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.



Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.




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




          The Issuer and the Parent Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for,
and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of
this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of
enforcing this First Supplemental Indenture against the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor (including
this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder or the
Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the
Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the
claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability
or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.




          The obligations of the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor under this Section 7.07 shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this First Supplemental Indenture or the earlier resignation or
removal of the Trustee.




          To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantee in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the
Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this First Supplemental Indenture.




          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a)(5) or (6) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
(including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.




          The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the
extent applicable. As used in this Section 7.07, the term “Trustee” shall also include each of the
Paying Agent, Registrar, and Transfer Agent, as applicable.



Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.




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




-40-









 




7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and the Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer
Agent may resign with 90 days prior written notice and be discharged from the trust hereby created
by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing and may remove
the Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent by so notifying such Registrar, Paying Agent or
Transfer Agent, as applicable, with 90 days prior written notice. The Issuer may remove the
Trustee if:





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




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




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




     (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.



          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor
Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.




          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns
or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at
least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.




          If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six
months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.




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




          As used in this Section 7.08, the term “Trustee” shall also include each of the Paying Agent,
Registrar and Transfer Agent, as applicable.



Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.




          If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of
its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further
act shall be the successor Trustee.




-41-









 







Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.




          There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or national banking
association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any
state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report
of condition.




          This First Supplemental Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements
of Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture
Act Section 310(b).



Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.




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




ARTICLE 8




LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE


Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.




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



Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.




          Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.02, the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect
to all outstanding Notes and the Guarantee on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes,
which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof
and the other Sections of this First Supplemental Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and
to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this First Supplemental Indenture
including that of the Parent Guarantor (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the
Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following
provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:





     (a) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the
trust created pursuant to this First Supplemental Indenture referred to in Section 8.04
hereof;




     (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section
4.02 hereof;



-42-









 






     (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s
obligations in connection therewith; and




     (d) this Section 8.02.



          Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this
Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.



Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.




          Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.03, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04,
4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09
and 4.10 hereof and Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after
the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of
any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all
other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for
accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any
such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply
shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as
specified above, the remainder of this First Supplemental Indenture and such Notes shall be
unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(a)(3), 6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6) and 6.01(a)(7) hereof
shall not constitute Events of Default.



Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.




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




          In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:





     (1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination
thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest due on the Notes on the stated Maturity Date or on the Redemption Date, as the case
may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes, and the Issuer must
specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption
Date;




     (2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to
customary assumptions and exclusions,




     (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United
States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or



-43-









 






     (b) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable
U.S. federal income tax law,




	 	 	in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm
that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not
recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a
result of such 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;






     (3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to
customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the 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 such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;




     (4) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make
such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in
each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit;




     (5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than
this First Supplemental Indenture) to which the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor is a party or
by which the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from
borrowing funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other
Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);




     (6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions
following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of
Title 11 of the United States Code;




     (7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor or others; and




     (8) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel (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.


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




          Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this
Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 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 First




-44-









 




Supplemental Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of
principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.




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




          Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay
to the Issuer from time to time upon the written request of the Issuer any money or Government
Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(2) hereof), are in
excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.



Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer.




          Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust
for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.



Section 8.07 Reinstatement.




          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government
Securities in accordance with Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s obligations under this First Supplemental Indenture
and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section
8.04 or 8.05 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money in accordance with Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if
the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.




ARTICLE 9




AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER


Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.




          Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor (with respect to the
Guarantee or this First Supplemental Indenture) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this First
Supplemental Indenture, Notes or the Guarantee without the consent of any Holder:







-45-









 









     (1) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Issuer or the Parent
Guarantor and the assumption by such successor of the covenants of the Issuer or the Parent
Guarantor in compliance with the requirements set forth in this First Supplemental
Indenture; or




     (2) to add to the covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or
power herein conferred upon the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor; or




     (3) to add any additional Events of Default; or




     (4) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture,
provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there
are no outstanding Notes of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental
indenture that is entitled to the benefit of such provision and as to which such
supplemental indenture would apply; or




     (5) to secure the Notes; or




     (6) to supplement any of the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture to such
extent necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Notes,
provided that any such action does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders
of the Notes in any material respect; or




     (7) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor
Trustee and to add to or change any of the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts by more than one
Trustee; or




     (8) to cure any ambiguity to correct or supplement any provision of this First
Supplemental Indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision; or




     (9) to change any place or places where the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest, if any, on the Notes shall be payable, the Notes may be surrendered for
registration or transfer, the Notes may be surrendered for exchange, and notices and demands
to or upon the Issuer may be served; or




     (10) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this First Supplemental Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or




     (11) to conform the text of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantee or the
Notes to any provision of the “Description of the unsecured notes” section of the Prospectus
to the extent that such provision in such “Description of the unsecured notes” section was
intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this First Supplemental Indenture,
the Guarantee or the Notes; or




     (12) to make any amendment to the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture
relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this First Supplemental
Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of
the Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this First
Supplemental Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment
does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes.




-46-









 








          Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer
and the Parent Guarantor in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated
to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this First Supplemental Indenture or otherwise.



Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.




          Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the
Trustee may amend or supplement this First Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantee and the Notes with
the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the
Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default
(other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest
on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or
compliance with any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantee or the Notes may
be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08
hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for
the purposes of this Section 9.02.




          Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with
the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the
Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture
unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this First Supplemental Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in
its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.




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




          After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer
shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
indenture or waiver.




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





     (1) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or installment of interest, if any,
on, the Notes, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest thereon or any premium
payable upon redemption thereof;



-47-









 






     (2) change the currency in which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
such Notes are denominated or payable;




     (3) adversely affect the right of repayment or repurchase, if any, at the option of the
Holder after such obligation arises, or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed
for, any payment under any sinking fund or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or after the stated maturity thereof (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);




     (4) reduce the percentage of Holders whose consent is required for modification or
amendment of this First Supplemental Indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain
provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture or certain defaults;




     (5) modify the provisions that require Holder consent to modify or amend this First
Supplemental Indenture or that permit Holders to waive compliance with certain provisions of
this First Supplemental Indenture or certain defaults; or




     (6) except as expressly permitted by this First Supplemental Indenture, modify the
Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes.


Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.




          Every amendment or supplement to this First Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall be set
forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the Trust Indenture Act as then in
effect.



Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.




          Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a
Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or
portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of
the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder 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 waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder;
provided that any amendment or waiver that requires the consent of each affected Holder
shall not become effective with respect to any non-consenting Holder.




          The Issuer 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 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite
number of Holders has been obtained.



Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.




          The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any
Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the




-48-









 




Trustee
shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment,
supplement or waiver.




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



Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.




          The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article
9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the
board of directors approves it. In executing any 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, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this First Supplemental Indenture and that such amendment,
supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Parent
Guarantor, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions,
and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03).



Section 9.07 Payment for Consent.




          Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause
to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as
an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this First
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid
to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation
documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.




ARTICLE 10




PARENT GUARANTEE


Section 10.01 Guarantee.




          (a) The Parent Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the punctual payment when due,
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the monetary obligations of the
Issuer under this First Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, whether for principal or interest on
the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations of the Parent Guarantor
being herein referred to as the “Parent Guaranteed Obligations”).




          (b) It is the intention of the Parent Guarantor that the Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to the
Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the amount guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor
under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such
maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Parent Guarantor that are
relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under the Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.




          (c) The Parent Guarantor guarantees that the Parent Guaranteed Obligations will be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture, regardless of any law,





-49-









 




regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or
the rights of Holders of the Notes with respect thereto. The liability of the Parent Guarantor
under the Guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:





     (i) any lack of validity, enforceability or genuineness of any provision of this First
Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;




     (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to departure from this First Supplemental Indenture;




     (iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of
the Parent Guaranteed Obligations; or




     (iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, the Issuer or a guarantor.



          (d) The Parent Guarantor covenants and agrees that its obligation to make payments of the
Parent Guaranteed Obligations hereunder constitutes an unsecured obligation of the Parent Guarantor
ranking pari passu with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Parent
Guarantor that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Parent Guarantee.




          (e) The Parent Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any
other notice with respect to the Guarantee and any requirement that the Trustee, or the Holders of
any Notes protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject
thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Issuer or any other Person or any
collateral.




          (f) The Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights that it may now
or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of the Parent Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee or this First Supplemental
Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Trustee,
or the Holders of any Notes against the Issuer or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy
or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation,
the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or
by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right.
If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence at any
time prior to the cash payment in full of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts
payable under the Guarantee, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Holders of any Notes and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee, to be credited and applied to the Parent Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the
Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this First Supplemental
Indenture and the Guarantee, or be held as collateral for any Parent Guarantor Obligations or other
amounts payable under the Guarantee thereafter arising. The Parent Guarantor acknowledges that it
will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this
First Supplemental Indenture and the Guarantee and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.01
is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.




          (g) No failure on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial




-50-









 




exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.




          (h) The Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall (a) subject to paragraph 10.01(i),
remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the principal amount of all outstanding
Notes (whether by payment at maturity, purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other
acquisition) and all other applicable Parent Guaranteed Obligations of the Parent Guarantor then
due and owing, (b) be binding upon the Parent Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure
to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, any Holder of Notes, and by their respective
successors, transferees, and assigns.




          (i) The Parent Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally be released from all Parent
Guarantee Obligations, and the Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no
further force of effect, (i) upon any merger or consolidation of such Parent Guarantor with the
Issuer, (ii) upon exercise by the Issuer of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance
option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this
Second Supplemental Indenture, in accordance with the terms of this Second Supplemental Indenture,
or (iii) upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding and
all other applicable Parent Guaranteed Obligations of the Parent Guarantor then due and owing.




     Upon any such occurrence specified in this paragraph 10.01(i), the Trustee shall execute upon
request by the Issuer, any documents reasonably required in order to evidence such release,
discharge and termination in respect of the Guarantee. Neither the Issuer nor the Parent Guarantor
shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect the Guarantee or any such release,
termination or discharge.



          (j) The Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should
any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer
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 Issuer’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 or Guarantee, 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.




          (k) The Parent Guarantor may amend the Guarantee at any time for any purpose without the
consent of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes; provided, however, that if such
amendment adversely affects (a) the rights of the Trustee or (b) any Holder of the Notes, the prior
written consent of
the Trustee (in the case of (b), acting at the written direction of the Holders of more than
50% in aggregate principal amount of Notes) shall be required.




ARTICLE 11




SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE


Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.




          This First Supplemental Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect
as to all Notes, when either:




-51-









 









     (1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed
Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore
been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or




     (2) (A) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have
become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, shall
become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the
Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or the Parent
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 the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars,
Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient
without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for
principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;




     (B) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make
such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in
each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this First
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in
a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or
instrument (other than this First Supplemental Indenture) to which the Issuer or the Parent
Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer is bound (other than that resulting from
borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit
relating to other Indebtedness and in each case, the granting of Liens in connection
therewith);




     (C) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this First
Supplemental Indenture; and




     (D) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the
deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the
case may be.



          In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the
Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.




          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this First Supplemental Indenture, if money
shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (A) of clause (2) of this Section
11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive.



Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.




          Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this First Supplemental Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for
whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.




-52-









 








          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in
accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, the Issuer’s and the Parent Guarantor’s obligations under this First Supplemental
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of,
premium or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or
Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

[Back of Note]




7.50% Senior Notes due 2022



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




          1. INTEREST. HCA Inc., a Delaware corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note at 7.50% per annum from August 1, 2011 until maturity. The Issuer will pay
interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if
no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be February 15, 2012. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from
time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of
interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the
interest rate on the Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months.




          2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are
registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 and August 1 (whether or not
a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes
are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the First Supplemental Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the
register of Holders, provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds
will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium on, all Global Notes and all
other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or
the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.




          3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to
the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.




          4. FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under the Base Indenture dated
as of August 1, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”) among the HCA Inc., the Parent Guarantor, the
Trustee and the Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent, as supplemented by Supplemental
Indenture No. 1, dated as of August 1, 2011 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), among HCA
Inc., the Parent Guarantor, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent. This
Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer designated as its 7.50% Senior Notes
due 2022. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.01 of the
First Supplemental Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the First
Supplemental Indenture and those made part of the First Supplemental Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Notes are subject
to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the First Supplemental Indenture and such Act for a
statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express
provisions of the First Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture, the provisions of the First
Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

          5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.




          (a) Except as set forth below, the Issuer will not be entitled to redeem Notes at its option
prior to the Maturity Date.




          (b) The Notes will be redeemable, at the Issuer’s option, at any time in whole or from time to
time in part, at a redemption, or “make-whole,” price equal to the greater of: 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and an amount equal to sum of the present
value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed
(excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date and subject to the right of Holders
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date)
discounted from their scheduled date of payment to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the
Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points plus, in each of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to such Redemption Date.




          (c) Any notice of any redemption may be given prior to the redemption thereof, and any such
redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions
precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate
transaction.




          (d) If the Issuer redeems less than all of the outstanding Notes, the Registrar and Paying
Agent shall select the Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under Section 3.02 of the First
Supplemental Indenture.




          (e) Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the First Supplemental Indenture.




          6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.




          7. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Subject to Section 3.03 of the First Supplemental Indenture, notice
of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
the Redemption Date (except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a
Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 of the First Supplemental
Indenture) to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in
denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the
Redemption Date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.




          8. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall make an
offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to
$2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). The Change of Control
Offer shall be made in accordance with Section 4.10 of the First Supplemental Indenture.




          9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes
may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture. The
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the First Supplemental Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or





A-6 









 







register the transfer of any Notes or portion of Notes selected for redemption, except for the
unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or
register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
redeemed.




          10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for
all purposes.




          11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The First Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantee or the
Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the First Supplemental Indenture.




          12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section
6.01 of the First Supplemental Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the
then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all
outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
Holders may not enforce the First Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantee except as
provided in the First Supplemental Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any
continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf
of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the
First Supplemental Indenture except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder. The Issuer is required
to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the First Supplemental
Indenture, and the Issuer is required within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of any
Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer
proposes to take with respect thereto.




          13. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the First
Supplemental Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee.




          14. [RESERVED].




          15. GOVERNING LAW. THIS FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND ANY GUARANTEE WILL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.




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