 WITNESSETH:

 WHEREAS, the Company has determined to authorize the creation of its 61⁄2% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”), and currently desires to

 WHEREAS,
pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Original Indenture, the Company may establish one or more Series of Securities from time to time as authorized by a supplemental indenture; and

 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree, as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE ONE 
 SCOPE OF NINTH
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 
  
 The changes, modifications and
supplements to the Original Indenture affected by this Ninth Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and govern the terms of, the Notes, which shall be unlimited in aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time and
which may be issued from time to time, and shall not apply to any other Securities that may be issued under the Original Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes,
modifications and supplements. 
  
 In the event that the Company
shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate any Notes issued under this Ninth Supplemental Indenture subsequent to the Original Issue Date, the 
  

 1 








 Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the same “CUSIP” number for such Notes as is printed on
the Notes outstanding at such time; provided, however, that if any Notes issued under this Ninth Supplemental Indenture subsequent to the Original Issue Date are determined, pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel for the Company in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, to be a different class of security than the Notes outstanding at such time for federal income tax purposes, the Company may obtain a “CUSIP” number for such Notes that is different than the “CUSIP”
number printed on the Notes then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Notes issued under this Ninth Supplemental Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as
a separate class on any matter.

securities are changed into or exchanged for, in addition to any other consideration, securities of the surviving corporation, or a parent corporation that owns all of the Capital Stock of such surviving corporation, that represent immediately after

 A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC. A Global Note is exchangeable for Notes
in definitive form only if (i) the Company notifies the Trustee in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to act as a depositary and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days, or (ii) the Company, at its option,
notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Notes in definitive form under the Indenture. In either instance, upon surrender by the relevant Global Note Holder of its Global Note, Notes in definitive form will be issued
to each Person that such Global Note Holder and DTC identifies as being the beneficial owner of the related Notes. Any Global Note that is exchangeable for Notes in definitive form pursuant to the preceding sentence will be exchanged for Notes in
definitive form in authorized denominations and transferred to and registered in such names of such beneficial owners as the Depositary holding such Global Note may direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Note is not exchangeable, except for a
Global Note of like denomination to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. In the event that a Global Note becomes exchangeable for Notes in definitive form, Notes in definitive form will be issued only in fully registered form
in denomination of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. 
  
 (d)
Persons to Whom Interest Payable. Interest on the Notes shall be payable to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business (whether or not a Business Day) on the Regular Record Date (as set forth in Section
3.02(f)(iii) below), for such interest payment, except (i) that interest payable on August 15, 2010 shall be payable to the Person to whom principal is payable, and (ii) that default interest shall be payable in the manner provided in Section 2.11
of the Original Indenture.

 (ii) Interest Payment Dates. Interest on the Notes shall be payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August

 (h) Issuance of Additional Notes. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes under
the Indenture which shall have substantially identical terms as the Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto. The Initial Notes and any

 Section 4.01 Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior written notice mailed by first class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or (ii)
the sum, as determined by the Quotation Agent, as defined below, of 100% of the present values of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and the remaining scheduled payments of interest thereon from the redemption date to August 15, 2010
for the notes to be redeemed, exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date (the “Remaining Life”) discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, as defined below, plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the date of redemption. 
  
 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the
Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. 
  
 As used in this Section 4.01: 
  
 (a) “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable
to the Remaining Life that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity with the Remaining Life. 
  

 12 








 (b) “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average
of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date. 
  
 (c) “Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company. 
  
 (d) “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, Banc of America Securities LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
and their successors; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City, a “primary treasury dealer,” the Company will substitute therefor another primary treasury
dealer. 
  
 (e) “Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of
its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 
  
 (f) “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the yield, under the heading which
represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue
(if no maturity is within three months before or after the stated maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined, and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or
extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per
annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for
such redemption date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date. 
  
 Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all of the
Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or paying agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, then on and after the redemption date interest shall cease to accrue
on the Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 
  
 Section 4.02 Acceleration. The principal amount of the Notes shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Original Indenture.

 Section 4.03 Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have
the right to require that the Company repurchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the provisions of the next paragraph. 
  
 Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee
stating: 
  
 (a) that a Change of Control has occurred and that
such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount outstanding at the repurchase date plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date) (the “Repurchase Price”); 
  
 (b) the circumstances and relevant facts and relevant financial information regarding such Change of Control;

 (g) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election
if the Paying Agent receives, not later than three days prior to the Repurchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Note purchased; and 
  
 (h) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. 
  
 On the Repurchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Notes or
portions thereof properly tendered, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officers’
Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Notes so accepted, payment in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price, and the Trustee shall

  

 14 








 promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount of any unpurchased portion
of the Note surrendered. The Company will publicly announce the results on or as soon after as practical the Repurchase Date. For purposes of this Section 4.03, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

 CERTAIN COVENANTS 
  
 The Company covenants as follows: 
  

Section 6.01 Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the
Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to Section 4.03 or 6.05 hereof. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with said provisions
hereunder, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under said provisions hereunder by virtue thereof. 
  
 Section 6.02 Limitation on Additional Indebtedness. The Company will
not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness unless, after giving effect thereto, either (i) the ratio of Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding, for purposes
of this calculation only, purchase money mortgages that are Non-Recourse Indebtedness), to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Company is less than 2.25 to 1; or (ii) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio exceeds 2.0 to 1. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
may Incur: (i) Indebtedness under one or more Bank Credit Facilities in an amount not in excess of $1,100 million outstanding in the aggregate at any one time; (ii) purchase money mortgages that are Non-Recourse Indebtedness; (iii) Indebtedness
Incurred under a Warehouse Facility, provided that the amount of such Indebtedness (excluding funding drafts issued thereunder) outstanding at any time pursuant to this clause (iii) may not exceed 98% of the value of the Mortgages pledged to secure
Indebtedness thereunder; (iv) Indebtedness Incurred solely for the purpose of refinancing or repaying any existing Indebtedness so long as (A) the principal amount of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the existing
Indebtedness refinanced or repaid (plus the premiums or other payments required to be paid in connection with such refinancing or repayment and the expenses incurred in connection therewith), (B) the maturity of such new Indebtedness is not earlier
than that of the existing Indebtedness to be refinanced or repaid, (C) such new Indebtedness, determined as of the date of Incurrence, has an

pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof, Indebtedness of the Company owed to a Guarantor and Indebtedness of any Guarantor owed to the Company or any other Guarantor; provided that upon any Guarantor ceasing to be a Guarantor or such Indebtedness
being owed to any Person other than the Company or a Guarantor, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be deemed to have Incurred Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (v). 
  
 For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.02, in the event
that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness permitted in clauses (i) through (v) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6.02, the Company
will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant.

assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any Indebtedness secured by any mortgage, pledge, lien or other encumbrance of any nature (herein collectively referred to as a “lien” or “liens”) upon any property of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary, or on any shares of stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, without in any such case effectively providing that the Notes (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary ranking pari passu with the Notes) shall be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness, except that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to: (i) liens existing on December 31, 2004; (ii) pledges, guarantees and deposits
under workers’ compensation laws, unemployment insurance laws or similar legislation, good faith deposits under bids, tenders or contracts, deposits to secure public or statutory obligations or appeal or similar bonds, and liens created by

of such entity becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; (iv) liens on or leases of model home units; (v) Capitalized Lease Obligations entered into in the ordinary course of business in amounts not in excess of $25,000,000 outstanding in the aggregate at
any one time; (vi) the replacement of any of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above, provided that (A) the principal amount of the Indebtedness secured by liens shall not be increased, (B) such Indebtedness, determined as of the date
of Incurrence, has an Average Life at least equal to the remaining Average Life of the Indebtedness to be refinanced, (C) the maturity of such Indebtedness is not earlier than that of the Indebtedness to be refinanced, and (D) the liens shall be
limited to the property or part thereof which secured the lien so replaced or property substituted therefor as a result of the destruction, condemnation or damage of such property; (vii) liens on property acquired, constructed or improved by the

Homebuilding Joint Venture; (xii) liens securing a Warehouse Facility, provided that such liens shall not extend to any assets other than the mortgages, promissory notes and other collateral that secures mortgage loans made by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries; (xiii) liens securing the Notes and, if any Restricted Subsidiary guarantees payment of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.11 hereof, liens securing any such guarantee; (xiv) liens securing surety bonds entered into in the
ordinary course of business; and (xv) liens which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions which, when the Indebtedness relating to those liens is added to all other then outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries secured by liens and not listed in clauses (i) through (xiv) above, does not exceed $100,000,000. 
  
 Section 6.04 Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, (i)
declare or pay any dividend on, or make any distribution in respect of, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value, any Capital Stock of the Company other than through the issuance solely of the Company’s own Capital Stock
(other than Disqualified Stock), or rights thereto; (ii) make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value prior to scheduled principal payments or maturity, Indebtedness of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary which is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes (other than any repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other retirement that is made substantially concurrent with the receipt of proceeds from the
Incurrence of Indebtedness that by its terms is both subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and matures, by sinking fund or otherwise, after the earlier of (A) August 15, 2010, and (B) the maturity date of the Subordinated Indebtedness being
repaid, redeemed, repurchased, defeased or otherwise retired); or (iii) make any Restricted Investment (such payments or any other actions described in (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to herein collectively as, “Restricted
Payments”) unless (A) at the time of, and after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment, no Event of Default (and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default) shall have occurred and be
continuing, (B) the Company is able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to the first paragraph of the covenant described under Section 6.02 hereof, and (C) at the time of, and after giving effect thereto, the sum of the aggregate
amount expended (or with respect to guaranties or similar arrangements the amount then guaranteed) for all such Restricted Payments (the amount expended for such purposes, if other than in cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a resolution of such Board of Directors filed 
  

 17 








 with the Trustee) subsequent to June 30, 1997 shall not exceed the sum of (I) 50% of the aggregate Consolidated Net
Income (or, in case such aggregate Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) of the Company accrued on a cumulative basis subsequent to June 30, 1997, (II) the aggregate net proceeds, including the fair market value of
property other than cash (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a resolution of such Board of Directors filed with the Trustee), received by the Company from the issuance or

that such dividends or distributions do not exceed the amount of loans, advances or capital contributions made to any such entity or Person subsequent to the Original Issue Date and included in the calculation of Restricted Payments, and (IV)
$40,000,000; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent (aa) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration the making of such payment would have complied
with the provisions of this limitation on dividends; provided, however, that such dividend shall be included in future calculations of Restricted Payments, (bb) the retirement of any shares of the Company’s Capital Stock by exchange for, or out

subclause (II) above, or (cc) the redemption, repayment, repurchase, defeasance or other retirement of Indebtedness with proceeds received from the substantially concurrent sale of shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (other than Disqualified
Stock); provided however, that the aggregate net proceeds from such sale shall be excluded from the calculation of the amounts under subclause (II) above. 
  
 Section 6.05 Limitation on Asset Sales. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make an Asset Disposition, other
than for fair market value and in the ordinary course of business, with an aggregate net book value as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter greater than 10% of the Company’s total consolidated assets as of that date, unless
(i) the consideration received by the Company (or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) for such disposition consists of at least 70% cash; provided, however, that for purposes of this provision (i), the amount of any
liabilities assumed by the transferee and any notes or other Obligations received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary which are immediately converted into cash shall be deemed to be cash, and (ii) the Company shall within 390 days after the
date of such sale or sales, apply the Net Proceeds from such sale or sales in excess of an amount equal to 10% of the Company’s total consolidated assets to (A) a purchase of or an Investment in Additional Assets (other than cash or cash
equivalents), (B) repayments, redemptions or repurchases of Indebtedness of the Company which ranks pari passu with the Notes, and/or (C) make an offer to acquire all or part of the Notes (or Indebtedness of the Company which is
pari passu with the Notes) at a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the purchase date. 
  
 In the event the Company shall be required to offer to redeem Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.05, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the Asset Sale Offer Amount (as defined below) and the proposed date of purchase of the Notes by the Company (the “Asset Sale Purchase Date”). Not less than 30

 18 








 to mail (in the Company’s name and at its expense) an offer to redeem (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to each
Holder of Notes. The redemption price shall be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued interest to the redemption date and upon surrender to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, the Holders of such Notes shall be paid the redemption
price. The Asset Sale Offer is to be and shall be mailed by the Company or the Trustee to the Holders of the Notes at their last registered address. The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open from the time of mailing until 5 days before the Asset Sale

 (g) that if Notes and or Indebtedness of the Company which is pari passu with the Notes in a principal amount in excess of the Asset Sale
Offer Amount are tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall purchase Notes and Indebtedness of the Company which ranks pari passu with the Notes on a pro rata basis or by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee
shall deem fair and appropriate; and 
  
 (h) that Holders whose
Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Sections 6.02, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06, 6.07, 6.08, 6.09(iv) and 6.11 hereof will terminate (such terminated covenants, the “Extinguished Covenants”) and cease to

 22 








 (b) In the event of any reinstatement of the obligation to comply with the Extinguished Covenants, no
action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement shall give rise to a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture upon reinstatement; provided, that with respect to Restricted
Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made after June 30, 1997 will be calculated as though Section 6.04 hereof had been in effect during the entire period after such date.

February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2006 (each an “Interest Payment Date”) until the principal is paid or made available for payment. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest
has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from August 8, 2005, provided that, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face
hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 
  
 2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on
the Notes (except defaulted interest, if any, which will be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such special record date as may be fixed by the Company) to the persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of
business on the February 1 and August 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that at

 4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 1, 1999, between the Company and the Trustee (the

in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice mailed by first class mail to each Holder’s registered address. 
  
 The Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to the greater of
(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) the sum, as determined by the Quotation Agent, as defined in the Indenture, of the present values of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and the remaining
scheduled payments of interest thereon from the redemption date to August 15, 2010 for the Notes to be redeemed, exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date, discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to the redemption date on
a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate, as defined in the Indenture, plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the date of
redemption. 
  
 If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed,
the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part. If
money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all of the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Trustee or paying agent on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
redemption date, then on and after the redemption date interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 
  
 6. Mandatory Repurchase Obligation. If there is a Change of Control of the Company, the Holder of this Note shall have the right to
require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of this Note at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount hereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay
any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption, except the unredeemed part thereof if the Note is redeemed in part, or transfer or exchange any Notes for
a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 
  
 8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. 
  

 2 








 9. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains
unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment unless an abandoned property law designates another person.

  
 10. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each Series affected by the amendment, and any past
default or compliance with any provision relating to any Series of the Notes may be waived in a particular instance with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such Series. Without the consent of any
Securityholder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes,
to create a Series and establish its terms or to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder. 
  
 11. Defaults and Remedies. The following are Events of Default: (i) failure by the Company to pay the principal of any Note when due;
(ii) failure by the Company to pay any interest on any Note when due, continuing for 30 days; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with its other agreements or covenants in the Notes or the Indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes
upon the receipt by the Company of notice of such Default by the Trustee, or upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of notice of such Default by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, and (except in the case
of a Default with respect to certain covenants described in the Indenture) the Company’s failure to cure such Default within 60 days after receipt of such notice; (iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency; (v) default under any mortgage,
indenture (including the Indenture) or instrument under which is issued or which secures or evidences Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) which default constitutes a failure to pay
principal of such Indebtedness in an amount of $25 million or more when due and payable (other than as a result of acceleration) or results in Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) in the aggregate of $25 million or more becoming or
being declared due and payable before it would otherwise become due and payable; and (vi) entry of a final judgment for the payment of money against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in an amount of $5 million or more which remains
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal such judgment has expired or becomes subject to an enforcement proceeding. 
  
 In case an Event of Default (other than arising out of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare to be due and payable immediately that
portion of the principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of acceleration and upon such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable. In case an Event of Default
arising out of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency occurs and is continuing, the outstanding principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other
act on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders. 
  

 3 








 Such declaration or acceleration and its consequences may be rescinded by Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived (except non-payment of principal that has become due solely because of the acceleration) and if the rescission would not conflict
with any judgment or decree. 
  
 An existing Default (other than a
Default in payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or Default with respect to a provision which cannot be modified under the terms of the Indenture without the consent of each Holder affected) may be waived by the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time outstanding upon the conditions provided in the Indenture. 
  
 12. Successor Corporation. When a successor corporation assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the
Indenture, the predecessor corporation will be released from those obligations. 
  
 13. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of
the Notes. 
  
 14. Trustee Dealings With
Company. J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its affiliates, and
