It is understood that such Global Notes, if any, shall be deposited initially with the Depositary pursuant to the terms of the Depositary Agreement, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Such Global Notes shall be referred to herein as the “Regulation S Global Notes”. The aggregate principal amount of each Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made by annotation or endorsement thereon by the Company or by the Trustee, the Depositary or a custodian of either on behalf of the Company (or by the issue of a further Regulation S Global Notes), in connection with a corresponding decrease or increase in the aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Global Note of the same tranche or in consequence of the issue of Definitive Notes or additional Regulation S Notes, as hereinafter provided. The Regulation S Global Notes and all other Notes that are not U.S. Global Notes shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Regulation S Notes”.

The Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes, if any, offered and sold in their initial distribution in reliance on Rule 144A shall be initially issued as a single note, with respect to each tranche, in global bearer form without interest coupons, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (in respect of Tranche A) or Exhibit C (in respect of Tranche B) hereto, with such applicable legends as are provided in Exhibit A and Exhibit C hereto, as applicable, except as otherwise permitted herein. It is understood that such Global Notes, if any, shall be deposited initially with the Depositary pursuant to the terms of the Depositary Agreement, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Such Global Notes shall be referred to herein as the “U.S. Global Notes”. The aggregate principal amount of each U.S. Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made by annotation or endorsement thereon by the Company or by the Trustee, the Depositary or a custodian of either on behalf of the Company (or by the issue of a further U.S. Global Notes), in connection with a corresponding decrease or increase in the aggregate principal amount the Regulation S Global Note of the same tranche or in consequence of the issue of Definitive Notes or additional U.S. Notes, as hereinafter provided. The U.S. Global Notes and all other Notes evidencing the debt, or any portion of the debt, initially evidenced by such U.S. Global Notes, other than Notes transferred or exchanged upon certification as provided in Section 2.6(a)(i)(1), (2) or (4), shall collectively be referred to herein as the “U.S. Notes.”

SECTION 2.2. Execution and Authentication. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by two Officers by manual or facsimile signature. The Notes shall be so executed under the corporate seal (which may be in facsimile form) of the Company reproduced thereon.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office or position at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee shall authenticate Tranche A Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 and Tranche B Notes for an original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000, in each case upon receipt of a Company Order and Guarantor Order, each in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes to be authenticated, the type of Notes and the date on which the Notes of each tranche are to be authenticated, whether the Notes of each tranche are to be Definitive Notes or Global Notes and whether or not the Notes of each tranche shall bear the Private Placement Legend, or such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request. The aggregate principal amount of Tranche A Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed $150,000,000 and the aggregate principal amount of Tranche B Notes outstanding at any one time may not exceed $150,000,000 except, in each case, as provided in Section 2.7. Upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes in substitution of Notes originally issued to reflect any name change of the Company.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (“Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Guarantor to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes 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, the Guarantor and Affiliates of the Company and the Guarantor. The Trustee hereby appoints The First National Bank of Chicago to be the Authenticating Agent on the Issuance Date. The Notes shall be issuable only in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof. The Global Notes shall be in bearer form without coupons and the Definitive Notes shall be in registered form.

SECTION 2.3. Exchange Agent and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain (a) an office or agency in the United States, where (a) Global Notes may be presented or surrendered for transfer or for exchange pursuant to Section 2.6 (the “Exchange Agent”), (b) Global Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands in respect of such Global Notes and this Indenture may be served. In the event that Definitive Notes are issued, (x) Definitive Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, (y) Definitive Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment and (z) notices and demands in respect of the Definitive Notes and this Indenture may be served at an office of the Exchange Agent or the Paying Agent, as applicable, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. In the event that Definitive Notes are issued, the Exchange Agent shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company, upon notice to the Trustee, may have one or more co-Exchange Agents and one or more additional Paying Agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. The term “Exchange Agent” includes any co-Exchange Agent and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional Paying Agent. The Company is initially appointing First Chicago Trust Company of New York as Exchange Agent and Paying Agent pursuant to the Paying Agent Agreement dated as of June 26, 1998, among the Company, the Guarantor and the Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent Agreement”) until such time as First Chicago Trust Company of New York has resigned or a successor has been appointed. The Company may change any Exchange Agent or Paying Agent without notice to any Holder. The Company may appoint the Guarantor to act as Exchange Agent or Paying Agent, except that for purposes of a redemption pursuant to paragraph 7 and 8 of the Notes, none of the Company, the Guarantor and any Affiliate of the Company or Guarantor, may act as Paying Agent. If Definitive Notes are issued, the Company will appoint Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourgeoise, or such other Person located in Luxembourg and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, as an additional paying and transfer agent. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, Holders will be able to receive principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes and will be able to transfer Definitive Notes at the Luxembourg office of such paying and transfer agent, subject to the right of the Company or the Guarantor to mail payments in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. In all circumstances, the Company shall ensure that the Paying Agent shall be located outside the United Kingdom.

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets 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 distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and to account for any assets distributed. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets.

SECTION 2.5. List of Holders. In the event Definitive Notes are issued, 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. If the Trustee is not the Exchange Agent, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee before each Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list as of such date and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee.

(a) The following procedures and restrictions shall not apply with respect to Notes of a particular tranche transferred or exchanged for the account of a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Company at the time of the transfer or exchange and has not been an Affiliate during the preceding three months, provided a period of at least two years has elapsed since the later of the date the Notes of such tranche were acquired from the Company or from an Affiliate of the Company.

Upon receipt by the Trustee with respect to a transfer of such Regulation S Global Note during the Restricted Period (but not after the expiration of the Restricted Period) of a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit G-1, the Trustee shall present the relevant Global Notes to the Company or its agent to reduce the principal amount of the applicable Regulation S Global Note, and to increase the principal amount of the applicable U.S. Global Notes, by the principal amount of the portion of the Regulation S Global Note to be so transferred, by annotation thereon.

-11-

(b) If the Holder of a Regulation S Global Note of a particular tranche wishes at any time after the expiration of the Restricted Period to transfer, in whole or in part, a portion of such Note to the applicable U.S. Global Note, such transfer may be effected, subject to the Applicable Procedures, only in accordance with this Section 2.6(a)(i)(3)(b).

(6) Other Exchanges. In the event that any Global Note or any portion thereof is exchanged for Notes in definitive form pursuant to Section 2.6(c) hereof, such Definitive Notes may in turn be exchanged (on transfer or otherwise) for other Definitive Notes and only in accordance with such procedures, which shall be substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (1) through (5) above and (7) below (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that transfers and exchanges of portions of a Note comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and any Applicable Procedures, as may from time to time be adopted by the Company and the Exchange Agent.

(7) Interests in Regulation S Global Note to be Held Through the Euroclear Operator or Cedel. Until the expiration of the Restricted Period, interests in a Regulation S Global Note may be held only through the Euroclear Operator and Cedel.

(ii) Each U.S. Note issued hereunder shall, upon issuance, bear the legend set forth on the form of the Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, B, C and D and such legend shall not be removed from such Note except as provided in the next sentence. The legend required for a U.S. Note of a particular tranche may be removed from such U.S. Note if there is delivered to the Company such satisfactory evidence, which may include an opinion of independent U.S. counsel, as may be reasonably required by the Company, that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers of such Note will not violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such Note another Note or Notes having an equal aggregate principal amount that does not bear such legend. If such a legend required for a U.S. Note has been removed from a U.S. Note as provided above, no other Note issued in exchange for all or any part of such Note shall bear such legend, unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such other Note is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144 and instructs the Trustee to cause a legend to appear thereon.

-12-

(b) Transfer of any Global Note shall be by delivery. Each Global Note of a tranche authenticated under this Indenture shall be in bearer form and it is understood that such Global Note will initially be delivered to the Depositary or a nominee or custodian therefor, and each such Global Note of such tranche shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of this Indenture.

(c) All Global Notes of a particular tranche shall be exchanged by the Company (with authentication by the Trustee) for one or more Definitive Notes of the same tranche free of charge, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (in respect of Tranche A Notes) or Exhibit D (in respect of Tranche B Notes), if, for such tranche of Notes, (a) DTC (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as, or ceases to be, a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and (ii) a successor to DTC registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not able to be appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notification, (b) for so long as the Depositary is the Holder, such circumstances as set out in Section 2.4 of the Depositary Agreement have occurred or (c) at any time at the option of the Company. If an Event of Default with respect to a particular tranche of Notes occurs and is continuing, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder thereof, exchange all or part of a Global Note of such tranche for one or more Definitive Notes of the same tranche (with authentication by the Trustee), substantially in the form of Exhibit B (in respect of Tranche A Notes) or Exhibit D (in respect of Tranche B Notes); provided, however, that the principal amount at maturity of such Definitive Notes and such Global Note after such exchange shall be $1,000 or multiples thereof. Whenever all of a Global Note is exchanged for one or more Definitive Notes, it shall be surrendered by the Holder thereof to the Trustee for cancellation. Whenever a part of a Global Note is exchanged for one or more Definitive Notes the Global Note shall be surrendered by the Holder thereof to the Trustee who shall cause an adjustment to be made to Schedule A of such Global Note such that the principal amount of such Global Note will be equal to the portion of such Global Note not exchanged and shall thereafter return such Global Note to such Holder. All Definitive Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee based on the instructions of DTC. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for or in lieu of a Global Note, or any portion thereof, pursuant to Section 2.6(a), 2.7, 2.10 or 3.7 hereof or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for a Definitive Note other than as provided in this Section 2.6(c).

(d) Definitive Notes of a particular tranche shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Definitive Note of the same tranche for registration of transfer. When a Definitive Note is presented to the Exchange Agent or a co-Exchange Agent with a request to register a transfer, the Exchange Agent shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements for such transfers are met. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Exchange Agent or a co-Exchange Agent with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other denominations, the Exchange Agent shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes at the Exchange Agent’s or co-Exchange Agent’s request.

-13-

(e) The Company shall not be required to make, and the Exchange Agent need not register transfers or exchanges of, Definitive Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Definitive Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) for a period of 15 days before a selection of Definitive Notes to be redeemed.

(f) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Definitive Note, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Exchange Agent or any co-Exchange Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Definitive Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Definitive Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Definitive Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Definitive Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Exchange Agent or any co-Exchange Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(g) The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.6.

(h) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture will evidence the same debt (including the Guarantee of the Guarantor) and will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(i) Holders of Notes (or holders of interests therein) and prospective purchasers designated by such Holders (or holders of interests therein) will have the right to obtain from the Company and the Guarantor upon request by such Holders (or holders of interests therein) or prospective purchasers, during any period in which the Guarantor is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or is exempt from reporting pursuant to 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act, the information required by paragraph d(4)(i) of Rule 144A in connection with any transfer or proposed transfer of such Notes.

SECTION 2.7. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Definitive Note is surrendered to the Exchange Agent, if a mutilated Global Note is surrendered to the Company or if the Holder of a Note claims that such Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note (including the Guarantor’s Guarantee) in such form as the Note being replaced if the requirements of the Trustee, the Exchange Agent, the Company and the Guarantor are met. If required by the Trustee, the Exchange Agent, the Company or the Guarantor, such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the judgment of the Company, the Guarantor, the Exchange Agent and the Trustee, to protect the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may charge such Holder for its reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company guaranteed by the Guarantor.

SECTION 2.8. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time of a particular tranche are all the Notes of such tranche that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the Global Note of such tranche effected in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 2.9, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates holds the Note.

-14-

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on it cease to accrue.

If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date of a particular tranche the Paying Agent holds cash in U.S. dollars or Government Securities sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, due on the Notes of such tranche payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Notes cease to accrue.

SECTION 2.9. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a particular tranche have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes of such tranche owned by the Company or its Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of such tranche that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded.

The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when it or any of its Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires Notes, of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or otherwise acquired. The Trustee may require an Officers’ Certificate listing Notes owned by the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until permanent Definitive Notes of a particular tranche are ready for delivery, the Company and the Guarantor may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Definitive Notes of such tranche upon receipt of a Company Order and Guarantor Order each in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. Each Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Definitive Notes of a particular tranche to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Definitive Notes of such tranche are to be authenticated. Temporary Definitive Notes of a particular tranche shall be substantially in the form of permanent Definitive Notes of such tranche but may have variations that the Company or the Guarantor considers appropriate for temporary Definitive Notes of such tranche. Without unreasonable delay, the Company and the Guarantor shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a Company Order and Guarantor Order pursuant to Section 2.2 permanent Definitive Notes of a particular tranche in exchange for temporary Definitive Notes of such tranche.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Exchange Agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Exchange Agent or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Company, shall dispose of (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation; provided, however, that the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, destroy such cancelled Notes. Subject to Section 2.7, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Debt represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.

-15-

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Tranche A Notes or the Tranche B Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest of such Notes, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Holder thereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (a “Default Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent 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 or Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as in this Section 2.12; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company deposit monies proposed to be paid in respect of defaulted interest later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the proposed Default Interest Payment Date. At least 30 days before the Default Interest Payment Date, the Company shall mail to each Holder of Notes of the applicable tranche and publish in a leading newspaper having a general circulation in New York (which is expected to be the Wall Street Journal) (and so long as the Tranche A Notes or the Tranche B Notes, as applicable, are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Luxembourg Stock Exchange shall so require, a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort)) or, in the case of Definitive Notes of a particular tranche, mail by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address (and, so long as the Tranche A Notes or the Tranche B Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Stock Exchange shall so require, publish in a newspaper having a general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort)), with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the Default Interest Payment Date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP and CINS Number. The Company in issuing the Tranche A and the Tranche B Notes may use a “CUSIP” or “CINS” number, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP and CINS number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and CINS number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or CINS number.

SECTION 2.14. Deposit of Moneys. Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.15. Certain Matters Relating to Global Notes.

(a) For the avoidance of doubt, members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary for so long as it is Holder may be treated by the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

-16-

(b) The Holder of any Global Note of a particular tranche may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes of that tranche.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.1. Optional Redemption. The Company may redeem all or any portion of the Notes of a particular tranche, upon the terms and at the Redemption Prices set forth in each of the Notes of that tranche. The Guarantor may redeem all of the Notes of a particular tranche upon the terms and at the Redemption Prices set forth in the Notes of that tranche. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

SECTION 3.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company or the Guarantor to redeem any Notes of a particular tranche shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Notes of a particular tranche, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) notify the Trustee by Company Order of such Redemption Date, the Redemption Price (or if the Redemption Price is not calculable at such time, the formula for calculating such price) and of the principal amount of Notes of such tranche to be redeemed and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable such Trustee to select the Notes of such tranche to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.3; provided, however, that if the Redemption Price is not calculable at the time such notice is sent, the Company shall notify the Trustee promptly at such time such Redemption Price is calculable. In any case of redemption of Notes of a particular tranche pursuant to Section 8 of the Notes of such tranche, prior to any Notice of redemption given pursuant to Section 3.4, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee an opinion of tax counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the circumstances referred to in Section 8 in such Note exist.

SECTION 3.3. Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Notes of a particular tranche are to be redeemed, the Trustee may select the particular Notes of such tranche to be redeemed not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date for such Notes, from the outstanding Notes of such tranche not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for such Notes, or any multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Notes of such tranche of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for such Notes.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes of a particular tranche shall relate, in the case of any Note of a particular tranche redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Notes which has been or is to be redeemed.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the Redemption Price if such price is calculable at the time such notice is sent or, if not, the formula for calculating such price; provided, however, that notice of the Redemption Price shall be mailed to the Holders by first-class mail and given in the manner provided in Section 12.3 promptly after such price is calculable;

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

(f) that Notes of a particular tranche called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any;

(g) that, unless the Company or the Guarantor defaults in making the redemption payment, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on Notes of a particular tranche called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes of such tranche is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes of such tranche redeemed;

(h) (i) if any Global Note of a particular tranche is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note of such tranche to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall cease to accrue on the portion called for redemption, and upon surrender of such Global Note of such tranche, the Global Note of such tranche with a notation on Schedule A thereof adjusting the principal amount thereof to be equal to the unredeemed portion, will be returned and (ii) if any Definitive Note of a particular tranche is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note of such tranche to be redeemed, and that, after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Definitive Note of such tranche, a new Definitive Note or Notes of such tranche in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof, upon cancellation of the original Note of such tranche;

If at the time a notice of redemption is being made to Holders of Notes of a particular tranche pursuant to this Section 3.4, Notes of such tranche are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and so long as the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall also cause a notice of redemption to be published in a leading daily newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort), at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date.

SECTION 3.5. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given in accordance with Section 3.4, Notes of a particular tranche called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Notes of such tranche called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price, but installments of interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable to Holders on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or, in the case of Definitive Notes, Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates.

SECTION 3.6. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Paying Agent, in immediately available funds, U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Notes of a particular tranche to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, any cash in U.S. dollars so deposited which is not required for that purpose upon the written request of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be.

If the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, complies with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the Company or the Guarantor defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price on the Notes of a particular tranche to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Notes of such tranche are presented for payment. With respect to Definitive Notes of a particular tranche, if a Definitive Note of such tranche is redeemed on or after an interest Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note of such tranche was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note of a particular tranche called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company or the Guarantor to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall be paid on the unpaid principal (or premium, if any), from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1.

SECTION 3.7. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender and cancellation of a Definitive Note of a particular tranche that is redeemed in part, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Definitive Note of such tranche equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Definitive Note surrendered and cancelled; provided, however, that each such Definitive Note shall be in a principal amount at maturity of $1,000 or a multiple thereof. Upon surrender of a Global Note of a particular tranche that is redeemed in part, the Paying Agent shall forward such Global Note to the Trustee who shall make a notation on Schedule A thereof to reduce the principal amount of such Global Note to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Global Note surrendered; provided, however, that each such Global Note shall be in a principal amount at maturity of $1,000 or a multiple thereof.

SECTION 3.8. Applicability of This Article. Redemption of Notes of a particular tranche as permitted or required by any form of Note of such tranche issued pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance with such form of Note and this Article, provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Note shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such form of Note shall govern.

The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

-24-

A default under clause (c) is not an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all the Notes of such tranche notify the Company or the Guarantor (and the Trustee if such notice is given by Holders) of the default and the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, does not cure the default within 30 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” Subject to the provisions of Article VII, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company, the Guarantor, the Paying Agent, the Holder of a Note of the applicable tranche or an agent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company and the Guarantor or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes of such tranche, by notice to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, may declare the principal, premium, if any, accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on all the Notes of such tranche to be due and payable immediately. Upon a declaration such principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of a particular tranche by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration (and upon such rescission any past Event of Default caused by such acceleration shall be deemed cured) with respect to the Notes of such tranche and its consequences if all existing Events of Default with respect to the Notes of such tranche have been cured or waived, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, and if all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 7.7 have been made. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any rights consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes of such tranche or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Notes, the applicable Guarantees or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder 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. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of a particular tranche by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such tranche and its consequences. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and stops continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of a particular tranche may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to the Notes of such tranche. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, or, subject to Section 7.1, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of the Notes of the same tranche or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of a Note of a particular tranche may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of such tranche unless:

-25-

(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such tranche is continuing;

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, specified in Section 6.1(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or the Guarantor for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, remaining unpaid.

SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee 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 and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or the Guarantor, its creditors or its property, and unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7.

Second: to the Holders of Notes of such tranche for amounts due and unpaid on such Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, respectively; and

Third: to the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable.

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

-26-

SECTION 6.11. 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 any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit other than the Trustee 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 including the Trustee, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes.

However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are 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 liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any action under this Indenture or take any action at the request or direction of Holders if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it or it does not receive an indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against such risk, liability, loss, fee or expense which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 7.1.

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

(g) Any provision hereof relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1 and, upon qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, the TIA.

SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee, Subject to Section 7.1:

(a) The Trustee and each Agent may rely conclusively on and shall be protected from acting or refraining from acting based upon any document believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document, but the Trustee or its Agent, as the case may be, in its discretion, may make reasonable further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters stated in such document and if the Trustee or its Agent as the case may be, shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company and the Guarantor, at reasonable times during normal business hours, personally or by agent or attorney;

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company or Guarantor mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by (i) a Company Order or Guarantor Order, as the case may be, or an Officers’ Certificate and (ii) any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or Guarantor may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

(c) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require, in the absence of bad faith, an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both, which shall conform to the provisions of Sections 12.4 and 12.5. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion;

(d) The Trustee and any Agent may act through their attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent (other than an agent who is an employee of the Trustee or such Agent) appointed with due care.

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

-28-

(f) The Trustee or any Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(g) Subject to Section 9.2 hereof, the Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to), without the consent of the Holders, give any consent, waiver or approval required by the terms hereof, but shall not without the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a particular tranche at the time outstanding (i) give any consent, waiver or approval or (ii) agree to any amendment or modification of this Indenture, in each case, that shall have a material adverse effect on the interests of any Holder of Notes of such tranche. The Trustee shall be entitled to request and conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel with respect to whether any consent, waiver, approval, amendment or modification shall have a material adverse effect on the interests of any Holder of Notes of a particular tranche.

(h) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche unless either (1) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Notes of such tranche or by any Holder of the Notes of such tranche.

(i) The Trustee shall have no duties or responsibilities with respect to and shall have no liability for the actions taken or the failures to act of any other Trustees appointed hereunder.

SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may, subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11, become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, the Guarantor, its Subsidiaries, or their respective Affiliates 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 by Section 310(b) of the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

SECTION 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee and the Agents shall not be responsible for and make no representation as to the validity, effectiveness or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes; it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision hereof, 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 of the Company or the Guarantor, the Offering Memorandum or any other document issued in connection with the sale of Notes or any statement in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.5. Notice of Default. (a) If a Default or an Event of Default with respect to a particular tranche of Notes occurs and is continuing and the Trustee receives actual notice of such event, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of Notes of such tranche, as their names and addresses appear on the list of Holders described in Section 2.5, notice of the uncured Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee receives such notice. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Note of a particular tranche, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders of Notes of such tranche, and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 6.1(c) no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

-29-

SECTION 7.6. Report by Trustee to Holders. This Section 7.6 shall not be operative as a part of this Indenture until this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and, until such qualification, this Indenture shall be construed as if this Section 7.6 were not contained herein.

Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 1999, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in TIA Section 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b), 313(c) and 313(d).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and the Guarantor and filed with the SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes of a particular tranche are listed.

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee if the Notes of a particular tranche become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s and the Agents’ compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for their services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to the Trustee’s or any Agent’s negligence or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and Agents’ accountants, experts and counsel and any taxes or other expenses incurred by a trust created pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof.

The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustees, any predecessor Trustee and the Agents for, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, expense or liability including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred by the Trustee or an Agent without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part in connection with acceptance of administration of this trust and its duties under this Indenture, including the reasonable expenses and attorneys’ fees and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability arising hereunder. The Trustee and the Agents shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or such Agent for which it may seek indemnity. However, the failure by the Trustee or the Agent to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee or such Agent shall cooperate in the defense (and may employ its own counsel) at the Company’s expense. The Trustee or such Agent 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 written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee or such Agent as a result of the violation of this Indenture by the Trustee or such Agent if such violation arose from the Trustee’s or such Agent’s negligence or bad faith.

-30-

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee and the Agents shall have a senior lien prior to the Notes against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and the Agents, in its capacity as Trustee or Agent, except money or property held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on particular Notes.

When the Trustee or an Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) occurs, the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for the services shall be preferred over the status of the Holders in a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.7 and any claim or lien arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee or Agent, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article VIII and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.8. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign as Trustee on behalf of the Holders of Notes of a particular tranche at any time by so notifying the Company and the Guarantor in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a particular tranche may remove the Trustee as Trustee on behalf of Holders of Notes of such tranche by so notifying the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with the Company’s and the Guarantor’s consent. 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. The Company or the Guarantor may remove the Trustee if:

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

(ii) 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;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall notify each Holder of such event and shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a particular tranche may, with the Company’s consent, appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company to serve as Trustee on behalf of Holders of Notes of such tranche.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Guarantor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but on the request of the Company, the Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph of this Section, as the case may be.

-31-

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a particular tranche may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee to serve as Trustee on behalf of Holders of Notes of such tranche.

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

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.9. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee, or any successor Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Notes.

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification; Corporate Trust Required; Conflicting Interest. The Trustee for the Notes shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the TIA (as if this Indenture were qualified thereunder) during the period of time required thereby. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the SEC the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the TIA with respect to a tranche of Notes, there shall be excluded Notes of the other tranche of Notes.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflict of interest under Section 310(b) of the TIA with respect to any other indenture entered into with the Company or the Guarantor, provided that the Notes issued under this Indenture are wholly unsecured and any other indenture and the securities issued thereunder are wholly unsecured and rank equally with the Notes.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be (i) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, or (ii) a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government that is permitted to act as Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation, or other order of the SEC, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees, having, in either case, a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company, the Guarantor or any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company or the Guarantor shall not serve as Trustee for the Notes. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereunder specified in this Article.

-32-

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

SECTION 7.12. Authenticating Agents. From time to time, the Trustee may, subject to its sole discretion, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche, which may include any director or officer of the Company, the Guarantor or any Affiliate with power to act in the name of the Trustee and subject to its discretion in the authentication and delivery of the Notes of such tranche in connection with registrations of transfers and exchanges under Sections 2.6, 2.7, and 3.7 as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections of this Indenture to authenticate and deliver such Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture the authentication and delivery of such Notes by an Authentication Agent for such Notes pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee” for the Notes of such series. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and, if other than an Affiliate of the Trustee, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the appointment of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company in the manner set forth in Section 12.2. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes of such tranche in the manner set forth in Section 12.3. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of his appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of his predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to any corporation that has been appointed as Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for such services.

-33-

If an appointment with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes of such tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certification of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

ARTICLE VIII

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

SECTION 8.1. Option To Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche, elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 be applied to all outstanding Notes of such tranche upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

SECTION 8.2. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s or the Guarantor’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of a particular tranche or Guarantees with respect to such tranche of Notes, as the case may be, on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged all the obligations relating to the outstanding Notes of such tranche or the Guarantor shall be deemed to have discharged all the obligations relating to the Guarantees with respect to such tranche of Notes, and such Notes and Guarantees, as applicable, shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.6, Section 8.8 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (d) below, and to have satisfied all of their other respective obligations under such Notes or Guarantees and this Indenture and cured all then existing Events of Default with respect to such tranche of Notes (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of holders of outstanding Notes of such tranche and Guarantees with respect to such tranche of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal, premium, if any and interest on such Notes when such payments are due or on the Redemption Date solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture, (b) the right of holders of outstanding Notes of such tranche to receive payments in respect of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due or on the Redemption Date; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Company’s and Guarantor’s obligations in connection therewith; and (d) this Article VIII and the obligations set forth in Section 8.6 hereof.

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company or the Guarantor may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3 with respect to the Notes of a particular tranche or the Guarantee with respect to such tranche of Notes, as applicable.

SECTION 8.3. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s or the Guarantor’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be released from any obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.6 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes of a particular tranche or Guarantees with respect to such tranche of Notes, as the case may be, on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes of such tranche and Guarantees with respect to such tranche of Notes, as applicable, shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes and Guarantees shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes of a particular tranche and Guarantees with respect to the Notes of such tranche, the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, 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 Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such tranche under Section 6.1(c), nor shall any event referred to in Sections 6.1(d) thereafter constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such tranche, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby.

-35-

SECTION 8.6. Survival of Certain Obligations. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to a particular tranche of Notes and of the Notes of such tranche and Guarantees with respect to the Notes of such tranche referred to in Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5, the respective obligations of the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee under Sections 2.6, 2.7, 4.2, 7.7, 7.8 and 7.10 shall survive until the Notes of such tranche and related Guarantees are no longer outstanding. Nothing contained in this Article VIII shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 8.7. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee. Subject to Section 8.10, after (i) the conditions of Section 8.4 or 8.5 have been satisfied, (ii) the Company or the Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company or the Guarantor and (iii) the Company and the Guarantor have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent referred to in clause (i) above relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to a particular tranche of Notes have been complied with, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of all of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such tranche and all of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such tranche except for those surviving obligations specified in this Article VIII.

SECTION 8.8. Application of Trust Moneys.

The Holder of any Note replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 shall not be entitled to any such payment and shall look only to the Company or the Guarantor for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the defeasance of certain obligations under this Indenture, the Company may direct the Trustee to (i) invest any money received by the Trustee on the Government Securities deposited in trust in additional Government Securities, and (ii) deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or Government Securities held by it, which, as evidenced by a Certificate of a Firm of Independent Public Accountants, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such money or Government Securities were deposited or received.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 or 8.5 or the principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of outstanding Notes.

SECTION 8.10. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5 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 Notes and the Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 or 8.5; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantor has made any payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or any Additional Amounts, if any, on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company and the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 9.1. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

(ii) to add to the covenants of the Company or the Guarantor, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes of a particular tranche, to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee or otherwise secure the Notes of a particular tranche or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or the Guarantor;

(iii) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to the Notes;

(x) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder; and

(xi) to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or the Guarantor.

The Trustee may waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or consent of any Holder of any Notes if such waiver does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder of any Notes.

SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders of Notes. The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of amending or supplementing any of the provisions of this Indenture, to the extent applicable to the Notes of a particular tranche, or the Notes of a particular tranche or Guarantees of a particular tranche of Notes, without notice to any Holder, but with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such tranche then outstanding. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such tranche affected may waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes of such tranche or Guarantee of such tranche without notice to any Holder, in each case by act of said Holders delivered to the Company the Guarantor and the Trustee. No such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note of such tranche affected thereby:

(i) change the Maturity Date of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Note of such tranche, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, if any, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change any obligation of the Company or the Guarantor to pay Additional Amounts, if any, (except as contemplated by Sections 5.1 and 5.2 and permitted by Section 9.1(i)) or change the Place of Payment or the currency in which any Note of such tranche or the interest thereon is payable;

(ii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Notes of such tranche, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture;

-40-

(iii) modify any of the provisions of this Section, 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 Note of such tranche affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder of a Note of such tranche with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 7.8, 7.10, 9.1(iv) and 9.1(v); and

(iv) amend the terms of the Notes of such tranche (including the Guarantees) or this Indenture in a way that would result in the loss of an exemption from any taxes or an exemption from any obligation to withhold or deduct taxes unless the Company and the Guarantor agree to pay Additional Amounts, if any, in respect thereof.

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

SECTION 9.3. Compliance with TIA. From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder of a Note.

The Company may fix a record date for determining which Holders of the Notes must consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. If the Company fixes a record date, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders of Notes furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.5 or (ii) such other date as the Company shall designate.

SECTION 9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes of a particular tranche may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes of such tranche that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

SECTION 9.6. Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX; provided, however, that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate from each of the Company and the Guarantor each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms. Such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee.

-41-

SECTION 9.7. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

ARTICLE X

GUARANTEES

SECTION 10.1. Guarantees. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i)(a) the full and punctual payment of principal and interest on the Notes of such Holder when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (including Additional Amounts, if any) and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guarantees”).

The Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guarantees and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guarantees. The Guarantees hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guarantees or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guarantees or (f) any change in the ownership of the Guarantor.

The Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantees hereunder constitute a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection).

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as principal and not merely as surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or failure to enforce the provisions of any Note or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification, consent or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto (unless the same shall also be provided the Guarantor), by the Holder of any Note or the Trustee, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification, indulgence or circumstance shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of a Note or the interest rate thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantees shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantees or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor covenants that the Guarantees shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

-42-

The Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantees shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Tranche A Notes or the Tranche B Notes is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Tranche A Notes or the Tranche B Notes when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other obligation under the Notes, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such obligations under such Notes, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such obligations under such Notes (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations with respect to such Notes (including Additional Amounts, if any) of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.

The Guarantor will be subrogated to all rights of the Holder against the Company in respect of any amount paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, premium on, if any, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Note shall have been paid in full. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations with respect to the Tranche A Notes or Tranche B Notes hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of the Guarantees, herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations with respect to such Notes, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI, the Guarantees (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

The Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section.

SECTION 10.2. Successors and Assigns. This Article X shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

-43-

SECTION 10.3. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article X shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article X at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 10.4. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article X, nor the consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Guarantor in any case shall entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
