Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 
Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to a Holder of a Global Security, such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Security (or its designee), pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, not later than the latest date, if any, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

- 19-

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 2.02 or 7.12 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 3.04    Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Issuer may execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 3.03, temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Issuer executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form. 
Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Indenture or the provisions established pursuant to Section 3.01, if temporary Securities are issued, the Issuer shall cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, after the preparation of definitive Securities of the same series and containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of any temporary Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at an office or agency for such Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series and containing identical terms and provisions. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a temporary Global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. 
Section 3.05    Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for the Securities of each series a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of, transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee for the Securities of each series is hereby appointed the “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering, transferring and exchanging Securities as herein provided.
Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for such series, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and principal amount. 
Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, at the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like 

- 20-

tenor and principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
The Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer evidencing the same debt and entitling the Holders thereof to the same benefits under this Indenture and the applicable Parent Guarantee and Guarantees as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar for such Security duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. 
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, or any redemption or repayment of Securities, or any conversion or exchange of Securities for other types of securities or property, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Section 3.04, 10.05 or 12.06 hereof). 
If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Issuer shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of such series (or of such series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of such Securities for redemption under Section 12.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection, (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Security between a Regular Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. 
None of the Trustee or any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
Section 3.06    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee for the series of such Securities, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.06, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
If there be delivered to the Issuer and to the Trustee for the Securities of such series (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or expense, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

- 21-

In case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. 
Upon the issuance of any replacement Security under this Section, the Issuer charge for its expenses in connection therewith. 
Every replacement Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute a separate obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly issued hereunder. 
The provisions of this Section, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Indenture with respect to particular Securities or generally, shall (to the extent lawful) be exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 
Section 3.07    Payment of Interest and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights to Interest and Certain
 Additional Amounts Preserved.

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security which shall be payable, and are punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. 
Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security which shall be payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below: 
(i)The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Person in whose name such Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee for the Securities of such series in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this Section 3.07. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such Defaulted Interest.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such special record date.  At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

(ii)The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 

- 22-

Subject to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.05 and this Section 3.07, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

(2)(A)  all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to such Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, shall become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer and the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with such Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, cash in the Currency in which such Securities are payable, (except as provided pursuant to Section 3.01) Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, as confirmed by a letter from a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants (which shall not be subject to the requirements of Section 1.10), to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, and, to the extent that the Securities of such series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts thereon and the amount of any such Additional Amounts which are or will be payable with respect to the Securities of such series is at the time of deposit reasonably determinable by the Issuer (in the exercise by the Issuer of its sole and absolute discretion), any Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be; and

In the event there are Securities of two or more series Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met.
At such time as the Issuer shall have effected satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the Parent Guarantor and each Guarantor of the Securities of such series shall (except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph) be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under the Parent Guarantee or such Guarantee, as applicable, of the Securities of such series and all of its other obligations under this Indenture in respect of the Securities of such series, without any action by the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor, any Guarantor or the Trustee and without the consent of the Holders of any Securities.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (A) of clause (2) of this Section 4.01, the provisions of Section 4.02 hereof shall survive.

All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 (and held by it 

- 25-

or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Securities subsequently converted into other property shall be returned to the Issuer upon Issuer Order. 
ARTICLE 5

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 5.01    Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 either or both of (i) legal defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 5.02 or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 5.03 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Article 5 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Issuer may, at its option and at any time with respect to the Securities of or within such series, elect to have either Section 5.02 or 5.03 hereof applied to such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 5. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of any series, legal defeasance under Section 5.02 and covenant defeasance under Section 5.03 may be effected with respect to any or all of the Outstanding Securities of any series. To the extent that the terms of any Security established in or pursuant to this Indenture permit the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor, any Guarantor or any Holder thereof to extend the date on which any payment of principal of, or premium or Additional Amounts, if any, or interest, if any, with respect to such Security is due and payable, then unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01, the right to extend such date shall terminate upon defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be.
Section 5.02    Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 5.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 5.02 with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all such Outstanding Securities and the Parent Guarantee and Guarantees of such Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 5.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture, including that of the Parent Guarantor and the Guarantors with respect to the Parent Guarantee and the Guarantees of such Securities, respectively (and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(a)    the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 5.05 hereof;

(b)    the Issuer’s obligations with respect to Securities of such series concerning issuing temporary Securities, registration of such Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

(c)    if the Securities of such series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 11.05, the Issuer will remain obligated, following defeasance of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series, to pay, and the Parent Guarantor and the Guarantors of the Securities of such 

- 26-

series will continue to guarantee (on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Indenture, subject to any other terms of this Indenture, including any terms established pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series, providing for the release and discharge of the Parent Guarantor or any Guarantor from the Parent Guarantee or its Guarantee, as applicable, of the Securities of such series and its other obligations under this Indenture in respect to the Securities of such series), as applicable, the payment of, Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 11.05, to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to clause (1) of Section 5.04;

(d)    the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee for the Securities of such series, and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(e)    this Section 5.02.

Subject to compliance with this Article 5, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 5.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 5.03 hereof.
Section 5.03    Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 5.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 5.03 with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under any covenants applicable to such Securities which are specified pursuant to Section 3.01 as being subject to covenant defeasance on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 5.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed not  “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed “Outstanding” for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and the Parent Guarantee and the Guarantees thereof shall be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 5.01 hereof, Sections 6.01(4), 6.01(5), 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.
Section 5.04    Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

(a)    the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
(b)    since the issuance of the Securities, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law,
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(3)in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

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

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

(6)the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally under any applicable U.S. Federal or state law, and that the Trustee has a perfected security interest in such trust funds for the ratable benefit of the Holders;

Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 5.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 5.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof in respect of Outstanding Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 5.04 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 such Outstanding Securities.
Anything in this Article 5 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 5.04 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 5.04(1) 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 5.06    Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 5.02 or 5.03 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 Issuer’s, the Parent Guarantor’s and the applicable Guarantors’ respective obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series and the Parent Guarantee and the Guarantees of such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 5.02 or 5.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 5.02 or 5.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 6.02    Acceleration.

If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 hereof) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then total Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then Outstanding Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately.  Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on such Securities shall be due and payable immediately.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series if it determines that withholding notice is in their best interest.  The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Securities of such series if in the best judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interests of the Holders of such Securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01 hereof, all Outstanding Securities shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of such series by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders of such Securities, rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest, Additional Amounts, if any, or premium, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived and all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 have been paid.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee of Securities of such series may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Securities or this Indenture.
Section 6.04    Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of such series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Security 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 6.05    Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of any series by notice to the Trustee of Securities of such series may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except (x) a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on, any Security held by 

- 31-

a non-consenting Holder or (y) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected; provided, subject to Section 6.02 hereof, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of such series 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 Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.06    Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.

Section 6.07    Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 6.08 hereof, no Holder of any Security of any series may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:
(1)    such Holder has previously given the Trustee for the Securities of such series notice that an Event of Default is continuing with respect to the Securities of that series;
(2)    Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the total Outstanding Securities of such series have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3)    Holders of the Securities have offered such Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to such Trustee against any loss, liability or expense incurred in compliance with such request;
(4)    such Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(5)    Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total Outstanding Securities of such series have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.
A Holder of a Security may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Security or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Security.
Section 6.08    Rights of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, 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 6.09    Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1), (2) or (3) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, and interest remaining unpaid 

- 32-

on the Securities of such series and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.10    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and such Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.
Section 6.11    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 3.06 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 6.12    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to any Holder of any Security may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holder, as the case may be.
Section 6.13    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities of such series allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon such Securities including any Guarantor), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee of the Securities of such series, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of such Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof.  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 7.06 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 

- 33-

behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities 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 6.14    Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money for any series of Securities pursuant to this Article 6 or, after an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 6.15 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Security, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of any series.

(a)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any 
series, the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this 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.

forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(ii)    in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.  However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(c)    The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i)    this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;
(ii)    the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved in a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii)    the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof.
(d)    Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this Section 7.01.
(e)    The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holder of Securities of any series pursuant to this Indenture for which it is acting as Trustee unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense.
(f)    The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Section 7.02    Rights of Trustee.
(a)    The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper Person.  The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

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

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

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

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

(f)    None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

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

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

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

(j)    The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

(k)    The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(l)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under this Indenture for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or charges if and to the extent so required by any applicable law and any current or future regulations or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto or by virtue of the relevant holder failing to satisfy any certification or other requirements in respect of the Securities, in which event the Trustee shall make such payment after such withholding or deduction has been made and shall account to the relevant authorities for the amount so withheld or deducted and shall have no obligation to gross up any payment hereunder or pay any additional amount as a result of such withholding tax (other than forwarding any Additional Amounts that it has received from the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Guarantor).

The Issuer hereby covenants with the Trustee that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Trustee with reasonably available information collected and stored in the Issuer’s ordinary course of business regarding Holders of the applicable series of Securities (solely in their capacity as such) and that is necessary for the Trustee to determine whether or not the Trustee is obliged, in respect of any payments to be made by it pursuant to this Indenture, to make any withholding or deduction pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations, or agreements thereunder or official interpretations thereof or any intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction facilitating the implementation thereof (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental agreement).

Section 7.03    Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign.  Any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other Person that may be an agent of the Trustee, the Issuer or any Guarantor, in its individual or any other capacity, may do the same with like rights and duties.  The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.
Section 7.04    Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Securities or any other document in connection with the sale of the Securities or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.  The Trustee shall not be responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture.  The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor or investigate the Issuer’s compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any Person, other than the Trustee, made in this Indenture.
Section 7.05    Notice of Defaults.

If a Default with respect to the Securities of any particular series occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee for the Securities of such series, such Trustee shall mail to Holders of the Securities of such series a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium or Additional Amounts, if any, or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, such Trustee may withhold from the Holders of the Securities of such series notice of any continuing Default if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of such Holders.  The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of any Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
Section 7.06    Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.
The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee)) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or any Guarantor, 

- 37-

or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder).  The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder.  The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination for any reason of this Indenture.
To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities of any series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, or premium or Additional Amounts, if any, or interest with respect to particular Securities.  Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.
“Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.
Section 7.07    Replacement of Trustee.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.  The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee for the Securities of such series by so notifying such Trustee and the Issuer in writing.  The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:
(a)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;
(b)    the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(c)    a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(d)    the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Securities resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series).  Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of any series may appoint a successor Trustee for the Securities of such series to replace the successor Trustee for the Securities of such series appointed by the Issuer.

- 38-

If a successor Trustee for the Securities of any series does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee for the Securities of such series resigns or is removed, such retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Securities of such series.
If the Trustee for the Securities of any series, after written request by any Holder of the Securities of such series who has been a Holder of the Securities of such series for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
As used in this Section 7.07, “Trustee” shall also include each of the Security Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent, as applicable.

(d)    No Person shall accept its appointment hereunder as a successor Trustee unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Person shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Section 7.09    Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Whenever the Issuer shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, or any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum (in the Currency or Currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts, as the case may be, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. 
The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent shall:

Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or such premium or interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request (or if deposited by a Guarantor, paid to such Guarantor on Guarantor Request) or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Security Registrar or co-registrar) where any series of Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served.  The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.  If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes.  The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
With respect to any Global Security, and except as may otherwise be specified for such Global Security as contemplated by Section 3.01, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be the Place of Payment where such Global Security may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefor; and such Place of Payment with respect to a Global Security in New York, New York shall be at an office of the Trustee located at 500 Ross Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15262, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration; provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or delivery effect pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary for such Global Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the Place of Payment for such Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

If less than all of the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of such series and of a special tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not prior to the delivery of the notice specified in Section 12.04 by the Trustee pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (provided that, in the case of Global Securities, the Depositary may select beneficial interests in Global Securities for redemption pursuant to its Applicable Procedures).
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security of such series not redeemed to less than the minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein or pursuant hereto.

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

Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together, if applicable, with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07; provided, further that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant Regular Record Date. 
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security or, if no rate is prescribed therefor in the Security, at the rate of interest, if any, borne by such Security.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.01, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Issuer may arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or before the applicable repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Issuer on repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Issuer to pay the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is so paid by such purchasers.

At any time on or after February 15, 2047, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Senior Notes due 2047, in whole or from time to time in part, upon notice as provided in the Indenture, at a redemption price 

3

equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2047 being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any date fixed for redemption (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such date fixed for redemption.  The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the date fixed for redemption.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Senior Notes due 2047 (if the Senior Notes due 2047 matured on February 15, 2047) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of the Senior Notes due 2047, assuming, for this purpose, the Senior Notes due 2047 matured on February 15, 2047.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such date fixed for redemption, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. or another independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

“Primary Treasury Dealer” means a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States.

 “Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or its successors; provided, however, that if J.P. Morgan Securities LLC ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; (2) a primary treasury dealer selected by each of MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc.; and (3) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company after consultation with the Independent Investment Banker.

 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date fixed for redemption, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such date fixed for redemption.

The Senior Notes due 2047 shall not be subject to any sinking fund.

Section 2.06The Senior Notes due 2047 shall be issued in fully registered form without coupons in a minimum denomination of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.07The Release Date (as defined in the Indenture) occurred on April 6, 1998. Accordingly, the Senior Notes due 2047 shall be issued as unsecured general obligations of the Company. The Senior Notes due 2047, and all other Notes issued or to be issued under the Indenture, will not be secured by First Mortgage Bonds of the Company and will not be entitled to the lien of or the benefits provided by the First Mortgage, which has been extinguished.

Section 2.08The Senior Notes due 2047 may be reopened and additional notes of the Senior Notes due 2047 may be issued in excess of the limitation set forth in Section 2.01, provided that such additional notes will contain the same terms (including the maturity date and interest payment terms) as the other Senior Notes due 2047, except for the issue date, price to public and, if applicable, first date from which interest will accrue and the initial interest payment date.  Any such additional Senior Notes due 2047, together with the other Senior Notes due 2047, shall constitute a single series for purposes of the Indenture.

Section 2.09The Senior Notes due 2047 shall initially be in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or such other time as shall be agreed upon between the Trustee and the Depositary, of the day on which such payment of interest is due on this Global Note (other than maturity), the Trustee shall pay to the Depositary such interest in same day funds. On or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, or such other time as shall be agreed upon between the Trustee and the Depositary, of the day on which principal, interest payable at maturity and premium, if any, is due on this Global Note, the Trustee shall deposit with the Depositary the amount equal to the principal, interest payable at maturity and premium, if any, by wire transfer into the account specified by the Depositary. As a condition to the payment, on the Maturity Date or upon redemption, repayment or acceleration, of any part of the principal and applicable premium of this Global Note, the Depositary shall surrender, or cause to be surrendered, this Global Note to the Trustee, whereupon a new Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary.

This Global Note is a global security in respect of a duly authorized issue of 3.85% Senior Notes, Series due August 15, 2047 (the “Notes of this Series,” which term includes any Global Notes representing such Notes) of the Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of October 1, 1995 between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A., as successor trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any subsequent successor Trustee under the Indenture) to Boatmen’s First National Bank of Oklahoma, and indentures supplemental thereto (collectively, the “Indenture”). Under the Indenture, one or more series of notes may be issued and, as used herein, the term “Notes” refers to the Notes of this Series and any other outstanding series of Notes. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a more complete statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities under the Indenture of the Company, the Trustee and the Noteholders and of the terms upon which the Notes are and are to be authenticated and delivered. This Global Note has been issued in respect of the series designated on the first page hereof.

Each Note of this Series shall be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee and shall bear an Original Issue Date or Dates. Each Note or Global Note issued upon transfer, exchange or substitution of such Note or Global Note shall bear the Original Issue Date or Dates of such transferred, exchanged or substituted Note or Global Note, as the case may be.

At any time prior to February 15, 2047, the Company, at its option, may redeem this Global Note, in whole or from time to time in part, at a “make-whole” redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of this Global Note being redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on this Global Note being redeemed that would be due if the Global Note matured on February 15, 2047 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption) discounted to the date fixed for redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 12 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption. At any time on or after February 15, 2047, the Company, at its option, may redeem this Global Note, in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Global Note being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any date fixed for redemption (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the Remaining Life (as defined below), yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week 

A-2

preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such date fixed for redemption.  The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the date fixed for redemption.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the Notes of this Series (if the Notes of this Series matured on February 15, 2047) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the Remaining Life of the Notes of this Series, assuming, for this purpose, the Notes of this Series matured on February 15, 2047.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means (1) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such date fixed for redemption, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. or another independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

“Primary Treasury Dealer” means a primary U.S. government securities dealer in the United States.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or its successors; provided, however, that if J.P. Morgan Securities LLC ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; (2) a primary treasury dealer selected by each of MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc.; and (3) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company after consultation with the Independent Investment Banker.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any date fixed for redemption, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such date fixed for redemption.

Notice of redemption will be given by mail or by electronic communication (including e-mail) to Holders of Notes of this Series not less than 30 or more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, all as provided in the Indenture. In the event of redemption of this Global Note in part only, a new Global Note or Notes of like tenor and series for the unredeemed interest hereof will be issued in the name of the Noteholder hereof upon the surrender hereof.

Interest payments for this Global Note shall be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or date on which the principal of this Global Note is required to be paid is not a Business Day, then payment of principal, premium or interest need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date or date on which the principal of this Global Note is required to be paid and, in the case of timely payment thereof, no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the date on which the principal of this Global Note is required to be paid.

The Company, at its option, and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Indenture, will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Notes (except for certain obligations including obligations to register the transfer or exchange of Notes, replace stolen, lost or mutilated Notes, maintain paying agencies and 

A-3

hold monies for payment in trust, all as set forth in the Indenture) if the Company deposits with the Trustee money, U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, or a combination of money and U.S. Government Obligations, in any event in an amount sufficient, without reinvestment, to pay all the principal of and any premium and interest on the Notes on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of the Notes. 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modifications of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Global Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Global Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon the Note.

As set forth in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such Notes, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected by such Event of Default shall have made written request and offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as Trustee and the Trustee shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of and any premium or interest on this Global Note on or after the respective due dates expressed here. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and to provisions of this Global Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Global Note at the times, places and rates and the coin or currency prescribed in the Indenture.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Global Note may be transferred only as permitted by the legend hereto.

If at any time the Depositary for this Global Note notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Global Note or if at any time the Depositary for this Global Note shall no longer be eligible or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to this Global Note. If a successor Depositary for this Global Note is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election to issue this Note in global form shall no longer be effective with respect to this Global Note and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of this Series in exchange for this Global Note, will authenticate and deliver individual Notes of this Series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of this Global Note.

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that all Notes of this Series (but not less than all) issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Notes shall no longer be represented by such Global Note or Notes. In such event, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Notes of this Series in exchange for such Global Note, shall authenticate and deliver, individual Notes of this Series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note or Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.

Under certain circumstances specified in the Indenture, the Depositary may be required to surrender any two or more Global Notes which have identical terms (but which may have differing Original Issue Dates) to the 

A-4

Trustee, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to, or at the direction of, the Depositary a Global Note in principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, and with all terms identical to, the Global Notes surrendered thereto and that shall indicate all Original Issue Dates and the principal amount applicable to each such Original Issue Date.

The Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee, directly or through an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of an authorized signatory, this Global Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

All terms used in this Global Note which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.
