(xiii) whether any special terms and conditions relating to the payment of additional amounts in respect of payments on the Securities of the series shall, in the event of certain changes in the United States federal income tax laws, apply to such Securities;

(xviii) if other than the Trustee, the identity of the Registrar and any Paying Agent for the Securities of the series; and

All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. Unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series.

SECTION 3.02. Denominations. In the absence of any specification pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 in principal amount and any integral multiple thereof, and shall be payable in U.S. dollars.

SECTION 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Dating and Delivery. The Securities shall be executed by two Officers of the Company. The signature of these Officers on the Securities may be by facsimile or manual signature in the name and on behalf of the Company.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee or authenticating agent authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

A Security shall not be valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order, and the Trustee or an authenticating agent shall authenticate for original issue Securities in the aggregate principal amount specified in such Company Order; provided, that the Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Board Resolution establishing the form and terms of the Securities of the series pursuant to Section 3.01, if applicable, an Officers’

Certificate of the Company and an Opinion of Counsel in connection with such authentication of Securities. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the time of authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

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

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

SECTION 3.04. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served, which shall be in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. The Company shall cause the Registrar to keep a register of the Securities of each series and of their transfer and exchange (the “Security Register”). The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent and any change in the address of such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and/or agent for service of notices and demands, the Trustee shall act as such Registrar, Paying Agent and/or agent for service of notices and demands. The Company may remove any Agent upon written notice to such Agent and the Trustee; provided, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced by an appropriate agency agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this proviso. The Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar, and/or agent for service of notice and demands.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent, authenticating agent and agent for service of notice and demands. 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 Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee as of each Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request the names and addresses of Holders as they appear in the Security Register, including the aggregate principal amount of Securities of each series held by each Holder.

SECTION 3.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of any principal of or interest on the Securities of any series, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal and interest so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities of such series (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any Affiliate of any of them acts as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of any principal of or interest on the Securities of any series, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act.

SECTION 3.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities of each series are issuable only in registered form. A Holder may transfer a Security only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Security Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company shall treat the Person in whose name the Security is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. When Securities of any series are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met (including that such Securities are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney

who is authorized in writing to act on behalf of the Holder). To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company 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 other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 3.09 or Section 9.05).

SECTION 3.07. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, that the requirements of this Section 3.07 are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its expenses and the expenses of the Trustee in replacing a Security. In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those as to which defeasance has been effected pursuant to Section 8.02 and those described in this Section 3.08 as not outstanding.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 3.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity Date money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds such Security, provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a series have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have

been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

SECTION 3.09. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities of such series. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officers executing the temporary Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Securities. If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of the same series upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series.

SECTION 3.10. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedure.

SECTION 3.11. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities of any series may use “CUSIP”, “Common Code” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Company and the Trustee shall use CUSIP, “Common Code” or “ISIN” numbers, as the case may be, in notices of exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities of such series or as contained in any notice of exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities of such series. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in “CUSIP,” “Common Code” or “ISIN” numbers for the Securities of any series.

SECTION 3.13. Securities in a Foreign Currency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to the Securities of a particular series, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of Securities of any

series or all series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any series which are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, then the principal amount of Securities of such series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of U.S. dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Section 3.13, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon U.S. dollar buying rate for that currency for cable transfers quoted in The City of New York, as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date or quotations from one or more major banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question, or such other quotations as the Trustee shall deem appropriate.

COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of each series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities of such series and this Indenture. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or any Affiliate of any of them) holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment. If the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or any Affiliate of any of them acts as Paying Agent, an installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the due date if the entity acting as Paying Agent complies with the last sentence of Section 3.05. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization procedure relative to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as the Paying Agent, if any, for the Securities.

SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. So long as the Securities of any series shall have been issued and remain outstanding, the Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company 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 address of the Trustee set forth in Section 14.02.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities 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 Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office of the Company in accordance with Section 3.04.

SECTION 4.03. Limitation Upon Liens. So long as any Securities of any series shall have been issued and remain outstanding, unless the terms of any series provide otherwise, the Company will not itself, and will not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed which, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, would be reflected on the balance sheet of the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary as a liability on the date as of which Indebtedness is determined (being hereinafter in this Section 4.03 and Section 4.04 called “Indebtedness”), secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest or other lien or encumbrance (any mortgage, pledge, security interest or other lien or encumbrance being hereinafter in this Section 4.03 and Section 4.04 called a “Lien”) upon or with respect to any Principal Property, or on any shares of capital stock of any Consolidated Subsidiary that owns a Principal Property (unless all obligations and indebtedness thereby secured are held by the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary) without effectively providing that the Securities shall be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) any and all other obligations and indebtedness thereby secured, unless, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all such Indebtedness secured by such a Lien of the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary then outstanding, plus all outstanding Attributable Debt of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of sale and leaseback transactions (as defined in Section 4.04) entered into after the date of the issuance of the series of Securities as to which such determination is being made (other than sale and leaseback transactions permitted by Section 4.04) would not exceed an amount equal to 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 4.03 shall prevent, restrict or apply to, and there shall be excluded in any computation of secured Indebtedness under this Section 4.03, the following:

(a) Liens existing as of the date of the issuance of Securities of any series on any property or assets owned or leased by the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary;

(b) Liens on property or assets of, or on any shares of stock or Indebtedness of, any Person existing at the time such Person becomes a Consolidated Subsidiary and not created in contemplation of such event;

(i) Liens created after the date of this Indenture on property leased to or purchased by the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary after that date and securing, directly or indirectly, obligations issued by a State, a Territory or a possession of the United States of America, or any political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or the District of Columbia, to finance the cost of acquisition or cost of construction of such property;

Debt created by the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary shall not be cumulated with a guarantee of the same Indebtedness by the Company or any other Consolidated Subsidiary for the same financial obligation.

SECTION 4.04. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. So long as any Securities of any series shall have been issued and remain outstanding, unless the terms of any series provide otherwise, the Company will not itself, and will not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement after the date of this Indenture with any Person (not including the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary) providing for the leasing by the Company or any such Consolidated Subsidiary of any Principal Property which was or is owned by the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary (except for temporary leases for a term of not more than three years), which property has been or is to be sold or transferred, more than 120 days after the later of (i) such Principal Property has been acquired by the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary and (ii) completion of construction and commencement of full operation thereof, to such Person (herein referred to as a “sale and leaseback transaction”) unless (a) the net proceeds to the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary from such sale or transfer equal or exceed the fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the Principal Property so leased, (b) the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary could incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Principal Property to be leased pursuant to Section 4.03 in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such sale and leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing the Securities or (c) the Company, within 120 days after the effective date of any such sale and leaseback transaction, applies an amount equal to the fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the property so sold and leased back at the time of entering into such arrangement (as determined by the Company) to (x) the prepayment or retirement of Funded Debt (including Securities of any series constituting Funded Debt) of the Company or (y) the acquisition of additional real property for the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary. A sale and leaseback transaction shall not include any such arrangement for financing air, water or noise pollution control facilities or sewage or solid waste disposal facilities or involving industrial development bonds which are tax-exempt pursuant to Section 103 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, as amended (or which receive similar tax treatment under any subsequent amendments thereto or successor laws thereof).

SECTION 4.05. Compliance Certificates. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee on or before a date not more than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, a certificate (which need not comply with Section 14.03 or 14.04) signed by the Company’s chief financial officer, principal executive officer, principal accounting officer, senior vice president of finance or treasurer stating whether or not the signers have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default. If the Officer of the Company signing such certificate has knowledge of such a Default or Event of Default, the certificate shall describe any such Default

or Event of Default and the nature and status thereof. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within five days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.06. Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Section 4.03 or Section 4.04 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series shall either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition, except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) the failure by the Company to make any payment, on or before the end of the applicable grace period, after the maturity of any Indebtedness of the Company (including guaranteed Indebtedness but excluding any Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Securities of such series) with an aggregate principal amount then outstanding in excess of $250 million or the acceleration of Indebtedness of the Company (including guaranteed Indebtedness but excluding any Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Securities of such series) with an aggregate principal amount then outstanding in excess of $250 million as a result of a default with respect to such Indebtedness, and such Indebtedness, in either case, is not discharged or such acceleration shall not have been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled within a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such failure to pay or acceleration and requiring the Company to cause such

acceleration to be cured, waived, rescinded or annulled or to cause such Indebtedness to be discharged and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(e) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or for all or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

(g) any other Event of Default provided with respect to the Securities of such series.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any series, then in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, the Trustee for the Securities of such series or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the entire principal of (or, if the Securities of such affected series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of the Securities of such series) and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Securities of such series to be immediately due and payable, any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in clause (c) of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (c) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the Holders within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto.

At any time after such declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for the payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee for the Securities of such series, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the affected

series by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all past Defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (i) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, (ii) all overdue interest on all Securities of such series, and (iii) the principal of any and all of the Securities of such series that have become due otherwise than by such declaration or occurrence of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate prescribed therefor by such Securities, (b) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of such series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and (c) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may, and at the direction of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series shall, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of the affected series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.08 and 9.02, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may waive any past or existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series and its consequences, except an uncured Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security of such series as specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to, or exercising any trust or power

conferred on, the Trustee for the Securities of such series; provided, that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the actions or proceedings so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers shall determine that the actions or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability; and provided, further, that the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Securities.

SECTION 6.06. Payment of Securities on Default. The Company covenants that if an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, the whole amount of principal and accrued interest that then shall have become due and payable on all of the Securities of such series, together with interest upon the overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee, except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

SECTION 6.07. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of any series, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(i) the Holder has previously given the Trustee for the Securities of such series written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series;

(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series shall have made a written request to the Trustee for the Securities of such series to pursue such remedy;

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(v) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

For purposes of Section 6.05 and this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 316(a) in making any determination of whether the Holders of the required principal amount of outstanding Securities of any series have concurred in any request or direction of the Trustee to pursue any remedy available to the Trustee or the Holders with respect to this Indenture or the Securities or otherwise under the law.

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

SECTION 6.08. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security of any series to receive payment of the principal of or interest on such Security or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in such Security, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.09. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor of the Securities of such series for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal, 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, except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

SECTION 6.10. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee for the Securities of any series may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.08) and the Holders of Securities of such series allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor of the Securities of such series), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Securities of such series or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.08. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of Securities of any series, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of such series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.11. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: To the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses applicable to such collection, reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith;

Second: To Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, with interest upon the overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at the same rate as the rate of interest on the Securities of such series, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such series for principal and interest, respectively; and

Third: To the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct in a final, non-appealable order.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.11.

SECTION 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for the Securities of any series for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee for the Securities of any series, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.08, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series.

SECTION 6.13. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee for the Securities of any series or any Holder 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 proceeding, the Company, each of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, each of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 6.14. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee for the Securities of any series 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 6.15. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee for the Securities of any series or of any Holder of Securities of any series to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing with respect to the Securities of such series shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee for the Securities of any series or to the Holders of Securities of any series

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

SECTION 7.06. Reports by the Company to the Trustee. The Company shall provide to the Trustee such documents, reports and information as are required by TIA Section 314, if any, in the form, in the manner and at the times required by TIA Section 314. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

SECTION 7.07. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with the May 15 following the date of the issuance of Securities of any series under this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder as provided in TIA Section 313(c) a brief report, if and as required by TIA Section 313(a), dated as of such May 15.

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Securities shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Securities of any series are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities of any series are listed on any stock exchange or of any delisting thereof.

Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee for the Securities of each series and any predecessor trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, claim, damage or liability

or expense incurred by it without negligence or bad faith on its part in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the Securities of such series, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the Securities of such series. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer receives written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, unless the Company is materially prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If the Trustee for the Securities of any series incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 6.01, the expenses and the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after the delivery of such written acceptance, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.08, (i) the retiring Trustee shall upon payment of its charges transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder of Securities of the affected series. No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

If the Trustee for the Securities of any series is no longer eligible under Section 7.11 or shall fail to comply with TIA Section 310(b), any Holder of Securities of such series who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. If at any time the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section 7.09.

The Company shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee for the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders of Securities of such series. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.09, the Company’s obligation under Section 7.08 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

If the Trustee for the Securities of any series consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein, provided, that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

SECTION 7.11. Eligibility. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1) and Section 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition that is subject to the requirements of applicable federal or state supervising or examining authority. If at any time the Trustee for the Securities of any series

shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.11, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article Seven.

SECTION 7.12. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree with the Company.

(a) the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 7.11) and conveyed all right, title and interest to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders as security for payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of such Holders, in and to (1) money in an amount, (2) Government Obligations that, through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment referred to in this clause (a), money in an amount or (3) a combination thereof in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, without consideration of the reinvestment of such interest and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, the principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated Maturity of such principal or interest; provided, that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such Government Obligations to the payment of such principal and interest with respect to the Securities of such series;

(b) the Company has delivered to the Trustee either (x) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 8.02 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised, which Opinion of Counsel shall be based upon (and accompanied by a copy of) a ruling of the Internal Revenue

Service to the same effect unless there has been a change in applicable federal income tax law after the Original Issue Date of such Securities such that a ruling is no longer required or (y) a ruling directed to the Trustee received from the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect as the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel;

(c) immediately after giving effect to such deposit, on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 6.01(e) and 6.01(f) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after such date of such deposit; and

(d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 8.02 have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the end of the 91-day period referred to in clause (c) of this Section 8.02, none of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series shall be discharged. Subsequent to the end of such 91-day period with respect to this Section 8.02, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.02, 2.03, 3.03, 3.07, 8.04, 8.05, 8.06 and the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder shall survive such satisfaction and discharge until the Securities of such series are no longer outstanding.

After any such irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series except for those surviving obligations in the immediately preceding paragraph.

SECTION 8.03. Defeasance of Certain Obligations. Except as otherwise provided for the Securities of any series, the Company may omit to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05 and 5.01 and clause (c) of Section 6.01 and a breach with respect to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05 and 5.01, and clause (c) of Section 6.01 shall be deemed not to be an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the outstanding Securities of any series if:

(i) with reference to this Section 8.03, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 7.11) and conveyed all right, title and interest to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders as security for payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of such Holders, in and to (A) money in an amount, (B) Government Obligations that, through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment referred to in this clause (i), money in an amount or (C) a combination thereof in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification

thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, without consideration of the reinvestment of such interest and after payment of all federal, state and local taxes or other charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee, the principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated Maturity of such principal or interest; provided, that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such Government Obligations to the payment of such principal and interest with respect to the Securities of such series;

(ii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance of such covenants and Events of Default and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such deposit on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 6.01(e) and 6.01(f) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after such date of such deposit;

(iv) if the Securities of such series are then listed on a national securities exchange, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Securities of such series will not be delisted as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge; and

SECTION 8.04. Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 8.06, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, and shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations in accordance with the Securities of the applicable series and this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities of such series; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 8.05. Repayment to Company. Subject to Sections 7.08, 8.01, 8.02 and 8.03, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request set forth in an Officers’ Certificate any excess money held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them with respect to the Securities of any series for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years; provided, that the Trustee or Paying Agent before being required to make any payment may cause to be published at the expense of the Company once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each Holder of Securities of such series entitled to such money at such Xxxxxx’s address (as set forth in the Security Register) notice that such money remains unclaimed and that

after a date specified therein (which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing) any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders of Securities of such series entitled to such money must look to the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, 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 Indenture and the Securities of the applicable series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities of such series because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE NINE

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors (as evidenced by a Board Resolution delivered to the Trustee), each of the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or the consent of any Holder:

(i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Indenture;

(ii) to comply with Article Five;

(iii) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with any qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(iv) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Xxxxxxx;

(v) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;

(vi) to add to the covenants of the Company for the protection of the Holders of Securities of any series, to add any additional Events of Default with respect to the Securities of any series, or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company;

(vii) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of one or more series any property or assets;

(viii) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture in respect of a Subsidiary Guarantee;

(ix) to establish the terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Section 3.01; or

(x) to make any change that, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, as evidenced by a Board Resolution, does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.08 and without prior notice to the Holders, the Company, when authorized by its Board of Directors (as evidenced by a Board Resolution delivered to the Trustee), each of the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Securities of any series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each affected series then outstanding (voting as one class), and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each affected series then outstanding (voting as one class) by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.02, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

(i) extend the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal or interest on, any Security;

(ii) reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on any Security, or any amount payable upon redemption thereof, except as provided in this Indenture or the Securities of the applicable series;

(iii) reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02;

(iv) change any place or currency of payment of principal of or interest on any Security;

(v) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity on any Security;

(vi) reduce the percentage or principal amount of outstanding Securities of any series the consent of whose Holders is necessary to modify or amend this Indenture or to waive compliance with certain provisions of or certain Defaults under this Indenture;

(vii) waive an uncured default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security; or

(viii) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.02, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby.

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. 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 supplemental indenture or waiver.

SECTION 9.03. Action by Holders; Record Dates. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified amount have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of the Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Ten, or (c) any combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of the Holders.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.02 and 10.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if the ownership of the Securities shall be proved by (a) the Security Register or by a certificate of the Registrar; or (b) in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in any other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the first paragraph of this Section 9.03, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those Persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Securities of the affected series unless it is of the type described in the second paragraph of Section 9.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type described in the second paragraph of Section 9.02, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security that evidences the same indebtedness as the Security of the consenting Holder.

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consent. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the Security of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of its Security. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the affected series.

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security of any series, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver such Security to the Trustee. At the Company’s expense, the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on such Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder, and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security of such series thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for such Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security of such series that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation, or issue a new Security, shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall be provided with, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign such amendment, supplement or waiver if the same does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 9.07. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Nine shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be deemed modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all of the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such redemption date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed.

In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security

If the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, it will segregate such amount and hold it in trust as provided in the last sentence of Section 3.05.

Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

SECTION 13.01. Guarantee. Subject to this Article Thirteen, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees, jointly and severally, to unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, and interest, if any, on, the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption, purchase or otherwise, and (b) all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture and the Securities will be fully and punctually performed within the grace period set forth in Section 6.01(c), if applicable. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture.

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders of Securities in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

SECTION 13.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any federal or state bankruptcy law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited so that, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Thirteen, will not result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 13.03. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee. To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Securities shall bear a notation substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B stating that such Securities are guaranteed by the Guarantors in accordance with this Article Thirteen and may be released upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, such Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantees set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

In the event that a Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Guarantor) becomes a guarantor under the Senior Credit Agreement subsequent to the date of this Indenture, the

Company shall cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor and to execute a supplemental indenture to this Indenture and Subsidiary Guarantee within 10 Business Days of the date when such event occurs.

SECTION 13.04. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc. on Certain Terms. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.05, no Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (unless such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person unless:

(a) subject to Section 13.05, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all of the obligations of such Guarantor under the Securities and this Indenture, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, on the terms set forth herein or therein; and

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

In case of any such consolidation or merger, and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor and such predecessor Guarantor shall be discharged from its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture.

Except as set forth in Articles Four and Five, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

SECTION 13.05. Release. To the extent that a Guarantor is released as a guarantor under the Senior Credit Agreement or the Senior Credit Agreement is refinanced without such Guarantor being a guarantor under the new credit facility, or in the event the Senior Credit Agreement is otherwise terminated, then such Guarantor (in the event of a termination of the Senior Credit Agreement, all Guarantors) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee to the same extent that such Guarantor was released and relieved of any obligations under the Senior Credit Agreement. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such release has occurred in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of the principal of, and interest, if any, on, the Securities and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article Thirteen.
