Consolidated EBITDA (including any pro forma expense and cost reductions
calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Exchange

THE NOTES

 

Section 2.01.        
Form and Dating.

 

(a)           General.  The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto.  The Notes may have notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or
usage.  Each Note shall be dated the date
of its authentication.  The Notes shall
be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

 

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall
constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental
Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of
this 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
Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall
govern and be controlling.

 

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

 

Section 2.02.      
Execution and Authentication.  One or more Officers shall sign the Notes for
the Company by manual or facsimile signature and apply the seal of the Company.

 

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 valid until authenticated by the
manual signature of the Trustee.  The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated
under this Supplemental Indenture.

 

The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company
signed by one or more Officers (an “Authentication Order”),
authenticate Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $750.0 million (other than as provided in Section 2.07).  The Trustee shall authenticate Additional
Notes thereafter (so long as permitted by the terms of this Supplemental
Indenture) for original issue upon one or more Authentication Orders in
aggregate principal amount as specified in such order (other than as provided
in Section 2.07).  Each such
Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated,
whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes and whether the
Notes are to be issued as Definitive Notes or Global Notes or such other
information as the Trustee shall reasonably request.

 

16

 

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent
acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each
reference in this 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 Company.

 

Section 2.03.     
Registrar and Paying Agent.  The Company shall maintain an office or
agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for
exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or
agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the
Notes and of their transfer and exchange. 
The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more
additional paying agents.  The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional
paying agent.  The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Supplemental
Indenture.  If the Company fails to
appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee
shall act as such.  The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

 

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

 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as
the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the
Global Notes.

 

Section 2.04.     
Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  The Company shall require each Paying Agent
other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will 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 in writing of any default by the Company in making
any such payment.  While any such default
continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it
to the Trustee.  The Company 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 Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further
liability for the money.  If the Company
or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate
trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying
Agent.  Upon any bankruptcy or
reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as
Paying Agent for the Notes.

 

Section 2.05.     
Holder Lists.  The Trustee shall preserve in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the
names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA
§ 312(a).  If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business
Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee
may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee
may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the
Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

 

Section 2.06.        
Transfer and Exchange.

 

(a)           Transfer and Exchange of
Global Notes.  A Global Note
may not be transferred as a whole except 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
Company for Definitive Notes if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee
written notice from the Depositary that it 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 Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the
Depositary or (ii) the Company in its

 

17

 

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.  Upon the occurrence of either
of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes shall
be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee in
writing.  Global Notes also may be
exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in 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 Section 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);
provided, however, that 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 shall be effected through the Depositary, in
accordance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the
Applicable Procedures.  Transfers of
beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with
either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one
or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

 

(i)           Transfer of Beneficial
Interests in the Same Global Note. 
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)(i).

 

(ii)          All Other Transfers and
Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes.  In connection with all transfers and
exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) above,
the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either
(A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant
given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing
the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in
another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be
transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account
to be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a
Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance
with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a
Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred
or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar
containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note
shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above.  Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements
for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in
this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the
Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant
Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(g) 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)(ii) hereof, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly
pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof, and the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the
instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount.  Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a
beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be
registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or
denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the
Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the 

 

18

 

Participant or Indirect
Participant.  The Trustee shall deliver
such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so
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.

 

If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive
Note to a beneficial interest is effected at a time when a Global Note has not
yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall
authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of Definitive Notes so transferred.

 

(e)           Transfer and Exchange of
Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes.  Upon written request by a Holder of
Definitive Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(e),
the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes.  Prior to such registration of transfer or
exchange, the requesting Holder shall 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 shall provide any additional
certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to
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.  Upon receipt of a written request to register
such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Definitive Notes pursuant to
the instructions from the Holder thereof.

 

(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 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 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE
EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF
THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED
TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED
TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.”

 

(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 canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global
Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled 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

 

19

 

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 Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global
Notes and Definitive Notes upon the Company’s order 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 Company and the
Trustee 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 2.10, 3.06 and 9.05 hereof).

 

(iii)         The Registrar shall not 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 Company, evidencing the
same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Supplemental Indenture,
as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange.

 

(v)          The Company 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 Company
may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the
absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal
of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the
Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

(vii)           The Trustee shall authenticate Global
Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02
hereof.

 

(viii)          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.

 

20

 

Section 2.07.     
Replacement Notes.  If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the
Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company 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 Company, an
indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the
judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee,
any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may
suffer if a Note is replaced.  The
Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

 

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of
the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this 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 canceled 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 as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in Section 2.09
hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company 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.

 

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or
at Maturity, 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 Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall
be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee actually knows are so
owned shall be so disregarded.

 

Section 2.10.     
Temporary Notes.  Until certificates representing Notes are
ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and 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 Company considers
appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee.  Without unreasonable delay, the
Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in
exchange for temporary Notes.

 

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of
the benefits of this Supplemental Indenture.

 

Section 2.11.     
Cancellation.  The Company 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 and no one else shall cancel all
Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement
or cancellation and shall destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record
retention requirement of the Exchange Act). 
The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or
that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

21

 

Section 2.12.     
Defaulted Interest.  If the Company defaults in a payment of
interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner
plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the
Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at
the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note
and the date of the proposed payment. 
The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date
and payment date; provided that no such special
record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for
such defaulted interest.  At least 15
days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request
of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the
Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states
the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such
interest to be paid.

 

Section 2.13.     
Record Date.  The Company may set a record date for
purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or to consent
to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by Sections 6.04
and 6.05.

 

Section 2.14.     
CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP
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 a redemption and that reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes,

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

 

Section 3.01.     
Notices to Trustee.  If the Company elects to redeem Notes
pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it
shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
a Redemption Date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the clause
of this Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the
Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the
Redemption Price and (v) the CUSIP numbers of the Notes to be redeemed.

 

Section 3.02.     
Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.  In the event that the Company chooses to
redeem less than all of the Notes, selection of the Notes for redemption will
be made by the Trustee either:

 

(1)           in compliance with the requirements
of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are
listed; or

 

(2)           on a pro rata
basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

 

No Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall
be redeemed in part.

 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be
in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes
of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by
such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed.  Except as provided in the preceding

 

22

 

sentence, provisions of
this Supplemental Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also
apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

 

Section 3.03.      
Notice of Redemption.  At least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first
class mail (at its own expense), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose
Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

 

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed,
including the CUSIP numbers, and shall state:

 

(a)                          the Redemption Date;

 

(b)                         the Redemption Price;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall
give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have provided to
the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter
notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the information required by
clauses (a) through (d) above.

 

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.  A notice of redemption may not be
conditional.

 

Section 3.05.     
Deposit of Redemption Price.  One Business Day prior to the Redemption
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed on that date
and any amounts owed the Trustee.  The
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money
deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the
amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed and
any amounts owed the Trustee.

 

If the Company complies with the provisions of the
preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption.  If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest
record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any
accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note

 

23

 

was registered at the
close of business on such record date. 
If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding
paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption
Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not
paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes
and in Section 4.01 hereof.

 

Section 3.06.     
Notes Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in
part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the
Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new
Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note
surrendered.

 

Section 3.07.     
Optional Redemption.  The Notes may be redeemed or purchased in
whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time prior to Maturity of the
Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the
Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, (the “Redemption Price”) to the date of the redemption or purchase
(the “Redemption Date”) (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

 

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.07,
any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

 

Section 3.08.     
Mandatory Redemption.  The Company shall not be required to make
mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes prior to Maturity.

such other decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect, for a period of 60
consecutive days; or

 

(6)           (a)           the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary commences a voluntary case or proceeding
under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or any other case or proceeding to be
adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent:

 

30

 

(b)           the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary consents to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of
the Company or such Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding
under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or
insolvency case or proceeding against it;

 

(c)           the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary files a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or
relief under any applicable federal or state law;

 

(d)           the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary:

 

(i)            consents
to the filing of such petition or the appointment of, or taking possession by,
a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar
official of the Company or such Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial
part of its property;

 

(ii)           makes

(iii)          admits
in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or

 

(e)           the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary takes any corporate action in furtherance of any such actions in
this clause (6).

 

Section 6.02.     
Acceleration.  If an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) above with respect to
the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of
at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal
of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in
writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of
Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (the “Acceleration
Notice”), and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

 

If an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) above
with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal
of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the
outstanding Notes shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

 

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with
respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such
declaration and its consequences:

 

(1)           if the rescission would not conflict
with any judgment or decree;

 

(2)           if all existing Events of Default
have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has
become due solely because of the acceleration;

 

(3)           to the extent the payment of such
interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue
principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration, has been paid;

 

(4)           if the Company has paid the Trustee
its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses,
disbursements and advances; and

 

31

 

(5)           in the event of the cure or waiver of
an Event of Default of the type described in clauses (5) or (6) of
Section 6.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured
or waived.  No such rescission shall
affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

Section 6.03.     
Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Notes or this Supplemental Indenture.

 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does
not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the
proceeding.  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 in writing to the
Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing
Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing
Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with a Change of
Control Offer or other offer to purchase) (provided, however,
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 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.  Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may, by written notice, direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with law or this Supplemental Indenture that the
Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of
Notes or that may involve the Trustee in any personal liability.

 

Section 6.06.     
Limitation on Suits.  A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with
respect to this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes only if:

 

(a)           a Holder gives to the Trustee written
notice of a continuing Event of Default;

 

(b)           the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to
pursue the remedy;

 

(c)           such Holder or Holders offer and, if
requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
any loss, liability or expense;

 

(d)           the Trustee does not comply with the
request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if
requested, the provision of indemnity; and

 

(e)           during such 60-day period the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the
Trustee a written direction inconsistent with the request.

 

32

 

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

 

Section 6.07.     
Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Supplemental Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes so held, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in the Notes (including in connection with an
offer to purchase), 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(1) or
(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
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 and
any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof.

 

Section 6.09.     
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 allowed in any judicial proceedings relative
to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its
property and shall be entitled and empowered 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 in writing 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 6.10.     
Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to
this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

 

First:  to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for
amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all
compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

 

Second:  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, premium, if any and interest, respectively;
and

 

Third:  to the Company or to such party as a court of
competent jurisdiction shall direct.

 

33

 

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for
any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

 

Section 6.11.     
Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this 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 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 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 Trustee undertakes to perform
such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Supplemental Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Supplemental Indenture against the Trustee; and

 

(ii)           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 Supplemental Indenture in the absence of bad faith
on the Trustee’s part; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this
Supplemental Indenture.

 

(c)                                  The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability 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 that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

(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 written direction received by it
pursuant to Section 6.05; and

 

(iv)                              the
Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this
Supplemental Indenture or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it
has reasonable grounds to believe repayment of the funds or adequate indemnity
against the risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

34

 

(d)                                 Every
provision of this Supplemental Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting
the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to the
provisions of this Section 7.01 and to the provisions of the TIA.

 

(e)                                  The
Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it
receives indemnity 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 Company.  Money and Government Securities held in trust
by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.

 

(g)                                 The
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding given pursuant to Section 6.05 of this Supplemental Indenture,
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee under this Supplemental Indenture.

 

Section 7.02.        Rights of Trustee.  (a) 
The Trustee may rely conclusively on 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.

 

(b)                                 Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel that conforms to Section 11.04.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

 

(c)                                  The
Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct
or negligence of any agent 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 its rights or powers, except
conduct that constitutes willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

 

(e)           The Trustee may consult with counsel,
and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits in reliance
on, and in accordance with advice of counsel.

 

(f)            The Trustee will not be required to
investigate any facts or matters stated in any document, but if it decides to
investigate any matters or facts, the Trustee or its agents or attorneys will
be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company.

 

Section 7.03.     
Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with
the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee.  Any Paying
Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like
rights.  However, the Trustee must comply
with Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

 

Section 7.04.     
Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Trustee (i) is not responsible for
and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Supplemental
Indenture, (ii) shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the
proceeds from the Notes and (iii) shall not be responsible for any
statement of the Company in this Supplemental Indenture, other than the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, or in any

 

35

 

prospectus used in the
sale of any of the Notes, other than statements, if any, provided in writing by
the Trustee for use in such prospectus.

 

Section 7.05.     
Notice of Defaults.  The Trustee will give to the Holders notice
of any Default with regard to the Notes actually known to a Responsible Officer
within 90 days after receipt of such knowledge and in the manner and to the
extent provided in TIA § 313(c), and otherwise as provided in Section 11.02
of this Supplemental Indenture; provided, however,
that except in the case of a Default in payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee will be protected in withholding
notice of Default if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in
good faith determines that withholding of the notice is in the interests of the
Holders of the Notes.

 

Section 7.06.     
Reports by Trustee.  Within 60 days after each May 15
beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Supplemental
Indenture, the Trustee will mail to each Holder, at the name and address which
appears on the registration books of the Company, and to each Holder who has,
within the two years preceding the mailing, filed that person’s name and
address with the Trustee for that purpose and each Holder whose name and
address have been furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.05, a
brief report dated as of that May 15 which complies with TIA
§ 313(a).  Reports to Holders
pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be transmitted in the manner and to
the extent provided in TIA § 313(c). 
The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b).

 

A copy of each report will at the time of its mailing
to Holders be filed with each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed and
also with the SEC.  The Company will
promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and
of any delisting of the Notes.

 

Section 7.07.     
Compensation and Indemnity.  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon
request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it,
including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its
services.  Such expenses shall include
the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.

 

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any
and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s
fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of the trust
created by this Supplemental Indenture and the performance of its duties under
this Supplemental Indenture.  The Trustee
shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder.  The Company shall defend the
claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the
fees and expenses of such counsel.  The
Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent.  The Company need not reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss, expense or liability incurred by the Trustee to the
extent it is due to the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.

 

To secure the Company’s obligations to make payments
to the Trustee under 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,
other than money or property held in trust to pay principal or interest on
particular Notes.  Those obligations of
the Company shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental
Indenture.

 

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

 

36

 

For purposes of this Section 7.07, “Trustee” will
include any predecessor Trustee, but the willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith of any Trustee shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee under
this Section 7.07.

 

Section 7.08.     
Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time by so
notifying the Company.  The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove
the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a
successor Trustee.  The Company may
remove the Trustee if:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)           the Trustee becomes incapable of
acting.

 

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

 

No removal or appointment of a Trustee will be valid
if that removal or appointment would conflict with any law applicable to the
Company.

 

A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance
of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee
will, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07, transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor
Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Supplemental Indenture.  A successor
Trustee will mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

 

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60
days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee,
the Company or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

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

 

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee
pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

 

Section 7.09.     
Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to,
another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person will, without any
further act, be the successor Trustee.

 

If at the time a successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to the Trustee succeeds to the trusts created by this
Supplemental Indenture any of the Notes have been authenticated but not
delivered, the successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of the predecessor Trustee, and

 

37

 

deliver the Notes which
were authenticated by the predecessor Trustee; and if at that time any of the
Notes have not been authenticated, the successor to the Trustee may
authenticate those Notes in its own name as the successor to the Trustee; and
in either case the certificates of authentication will have the full force
provided in this Supplemental Indenture for certificates of authentication.

 

Section 7.10.     
Eligibility; Disqualification.  The Trustee will at all times satisfy the
requirements of TIA § 310(a).  The
Trustee will at all times have (or shall be a member of a bank holding company
system whose parent corporation has) a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recently published annual report of
condition, which will be deemed for this paragraph to be its combined capital
and surplus.  The Trustee will comply
with TIA § 310(b).

 

Section 7.11.     
Preferential Collection of Claims.  The Trustee shall comply with TIA
§ 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
§ 311(b).  A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the
extent indicated therein.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

 

Section 8.01.     
Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.  The Company may,
at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

 

Section 8.02.     
Legal Defeasance and Discharge.  Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01
hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to
all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire 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 Supplemental Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below,
and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this
Supplemental Indenture (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder:  (a) the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund
described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such
Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations
with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8.  Subject to compliance with this Article 8,
the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03
hereof.

 

Section 8.03.     
Covenant Defeasance.  Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01
hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in
Sections 4.07, 4.09 and 4.11 hereof and clause (2) of Section 5.01
hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be
deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding”
for all other purposes

38

 

hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may
omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any 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 Supplemental Indenture and such Notes
shall be unaffected thereby.  In
addition, upon the Company’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(4) and
(5) 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 U.S.
Notes:

 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance:

 

(a)           the Company must irrevocably deposit
with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United
States dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof,
in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the written opinion of a nationally
recognized independent registered public accounting firm addressed to the
Trustee, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable
Redemption Date, as the case may be, and any other amounts owing under this
Supplemental Indenture, if in the case of an optional redemption date prior to
electing to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Company
has delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable notice to redeem all of the
outstanding Notes on such Redemption Date;

 

(b)           in the case of an election under Section 8.02
hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this Supplemental Indenture,
there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either
case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall
confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income,
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal
Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(c)           in the case of an election under Section 8.03
hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the
Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not
occurred;

 

(d)           no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as
Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any
time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

 

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

 

39

 

(f)            the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by
the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors
of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or
defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;

 

(g)           the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, 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; and

 

(h)           the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, assuming no intervening
bankruptcy of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91st day
following the date of deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the Company,
after the 91st day following the date of deposit, the trust funds will not be
subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinion of counsel
required by clause (b) above with respect to Legal Defeasance need not be
delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due
and payable on Maturity 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 Company.

 

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 non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with 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 Supplemental
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

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

 

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon the written request of the Company any money or non-callable
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(a) 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 Company.  Any money deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed
for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become
due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its written request or (if then
held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder
of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may

 

40

 

at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times
and The Wall Street  Journal
(national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.

 

Section 8.07.     
Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to
apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in
accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 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 Company’s
obligations under this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02
or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as
the case may be; provided, however, that, if the
Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders 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 of this
Supplemental Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement
this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a
Note:

 

(a)           to cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency that does not adversely affect in any material respect the rights
hereunder of any Holder of the Notes;

 

(b)           to provide for uncertificated Notes
in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article 2
hereof (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not
materially adversely affect any Holder;

 

(c)           to provide for the assumption of the
Company’s obligations to the Holders by a successor to the Company pursuant to Article 5
hereof;

 

(d)           to make any change that would provide
any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
adversely affect in any material respect the rights hereunder of any Holder of
the Notes;

 

(e)           to comply with requirements of the
SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Supplemental
Indenture under the TIA; or

 

(f)            to evidence and provide for the
acceptance of appointment under this Supplemental Indenture of a successor
Trustee.

 

Upon the written request of the Company accompanied
by, to the extent necessary, a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of
any such amended or supplemental Supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by
the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee
shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental
Supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this
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

 

41

 

amended or supplemental
Supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under
this Supplemental Indenture or otherwise.

 

Section 9.02.     
With Consent of Holders of Notes.  Except as provided below in this Section 9.02,
the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Supplemental
Indenture, and the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single
class (including 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,
if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an
acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of
this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the written consent
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).

 

Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by
a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental 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 Company in the execution of such
amended or supplemental Supplemental Indenture unless such amended or
supplemental Supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this 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 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 becomes
effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice
briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Company to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such amended or supplemental Supplemental Indenture or
waiver.  Subject to Sections 6.04
and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive in writing compliance
in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Supplemental
Indenture or the Notes.  However, without
the written consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02
may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

 

(a)           reduce the amount of Notes whose
Holders must consent to an amendment;

 

(b)           reduce the rate of or change or have
the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted
interest, on any Notes;

 

(c)           reduce the principal of or change or
have the effect of changing the Maturity of any Notes, or change the date on
which any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the Redemption Price
therefor;

 

(d)           make any Notes payable in money other
than that stated in the Notes;

 

42

 

(e)           make any change in provisions of this
Supplemental Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment
of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or
to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in
principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

 

(f)            after the Company’s obligation to
purchase Notes arises thereunder, amend, change or modify in any material
respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate of Change of
Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event or, after
such Change of Control Triggering Event has recurred, modify any of the
provisions or definitions with respect thereto; or

 

(g)           modify or change any provision of
this Supplemental Indenture or the related definitions affecting the
subordination or ranking of the Notes in a manner which adversely affects the
Holders.

 

Section 9.03.     
Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.  Every amendment or supplement to this
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a amended or
supplemental Supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA 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 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 or subsequent Holder 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.

 

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 Company in exchange
for all Notes may issue and the 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 amended or
supplemental Supplemental Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9
if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. 
The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Supplemental
Indenture until the Board of Directors approves it.  In executing any amended or supplemental
indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01
hereof) shall be fully protected in relying conclusively upon, in addition
to the documents required by Section 11.04 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
Supplemental Indenture.

for in this Supplemental Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes, when:

 

43

 

(a)                                  either:

 

(i)                                     all
the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or
destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment
money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust
by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 

(ii)                                  all
Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due
and payable and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to
the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company
directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at Maturity or
redemption, as the case may be;

 

(b)                                 the
Company has paid all other sums payable under this Supplemental Indenture by
the Company; and

 

(c)                                  the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Supplemental Indenture
relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental Indenture have
been complied with.

 

Section 10.02.     
Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06,
all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be
held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes
and this Supplemental Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
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.

 

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 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 Company’s obligations under this Supplemental Indenture and
the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 10.01; provided that
if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to
receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the
Trustee or Paying Agent.

[Back of Note]

8.625% Senior Notes
due 2013

 

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

 

1.  INTEREST.  iStar Financial Inc., a Maryland corporation
(the “Company”), promises to pay interest on
the principal amount of this note at 8.625% per annum from May 21, 2008
until Maturity.  The Company will pay
interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each
year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business
Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”).  Interest on the notes will accrue from the
most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from May 21, 2008; 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 next
succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further,
that the first Interest Payment Date shall be December 1, 2008. The
Company shall 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 rate then in effect; 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 same rate to the extent
lawful.  Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  If any
Interest Payment Date on the Notes other than the maturity date is not a
Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next
succeeding Business Day. If the maturity date of the Notes falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal and interest will be
made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date such payment
was due, and no interest will accrue on such payment for the period from and
after the maturity date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding
Business Day.

 

2.  METHOD OF
PAYMENT.  The Company will pay
interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are
registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15
next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after
such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted
interest.  The Notes will be payable as
to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the
Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New
York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by
check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of
Holders, and provided that payment by wire
transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to
principal of and interest, and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all
other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions
to the Company or the Paying Agent.  Such
payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private
debts.  The Company reserves the right to
pay interest to Holders of Notes by check mailed to such Holders at their
registered addresses or by wire transfer to Holders of at least $5 million
aggregate principal amount of Notes.

 

3.  PAYING AGENT
AND REGISTRAR.  Initially,
U.S. Bank Trust National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act
as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The
Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any
Holder.  The Company or any of its
Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

 

4.  INDENTURE.  The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture dated as of February 5, 2001, as amended and supplemented,
including as supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 21,
2008 (collectively, the “Indenture”)
between the Company and the Trustee.  The
terms of the 

 

 

Notes include
those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code
§§ 77aaa-77bbbb).  The Notes are
subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such
Act for a statement of such terms.  To
the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of
the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling.  The Notes are obligations
of the Company.  The Company is issuing
$750.0 million in aggregate principal amount on the Issue Date and may issue
Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

 

5.  OPTIONAL
REDEMPTION.  The Notes may be
redeemed or purchased in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time
prior to Maturity at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the
date of the redemption or purchase (the “Redemption Date”) (subject
to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

 

“Applicable Premium”
means, with respect to the Notes, at any Redemption Date, the greater of:  (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such
Note; and (2) the excess of (a) the present value at such Redemption
Date of (i) the principal amount of such Note on the Redemption Date plus (ii) all
required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Note through June 1,
2013 computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis
points over (b) the outstanding principal amount of such Note on such
Redemption Date.  Calculation of the
Applicable Premium will be made by the Company or on behalf of the Company by
such Person as the Company shall designate; provided, however,
that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

 

“Treasury Rate”
means, with respect to a Redemption Date, the yield to maturity at the time of
computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as
compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H.15(519) that has become publicly available on the third Business Day
prior to our providing notice of redemption (or, if such Statistical Release is
no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market
data)) most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to the
maturity date; provided, however, that if the
period from such Redemption Date to the maturity date is not equal to the
constant maturity of the United States Treasury security for which a weekly
average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear
interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the
weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such
yields are given, except that if the period from such Redemption Date to the
maturity date is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually
traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one
year shall be used.

 

6.  MANDATORY REDEMPTION.  Except as set forth in paragraph 7, the
Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with
respect to the Notes.

 

7.  REPURCHASE OF OPTION OF HOLDER.  Upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company will be
required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a principal price
equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase.

 

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

 

 

9.  DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.  The transfer of Notes may be registered and
Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar and the Trustee may require a
Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and the Company and the Trustee may require a Holder to pay any taxes
and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Company need not exchange or register the
transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for
the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.  Also, the Company need not exchange or
register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection
of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the
corresponding Interest Payment Date.

 

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

 

11.  AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture
or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes voting as a single class, and any existing Default or compliance with any
provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the written consent
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
voting as a single class.  Without the
consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or
supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to
provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders of the Notes
in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any
additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not
adversely affect in any material respects the rights under the Indenture of any
such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a
successor Trustee.

 

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

 

13.  TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the
Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates,
as if it were not the Trustee.

 

 

14.  NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. 
A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, of the
Company, as such, 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 issuance of the Notes.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request
and without charge a copy of the Indenture.
