With Consent of Holders Subject to Sections 7.4 and 7.7, without prior notice to any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Securities of any series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in Principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected by such amendment, and the Holders of a majority in Principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.2, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 7.4, may not:
(a) change the stated maturity of the Principal of, or any installment of interest on, such Holder’s Security,
(b) reduce the Principal amount of, or the rate of interest on (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), such Holder’s Security;
(c) change the place or currency of payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, or any installment of interest on, such Holder’s Security;

(e) waive a default in the payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such Holder’s Security;
(f) modify any of the provisions of this Section 11.2 requiring the consent of a requisite number of holders, except to increase any percentage requiring consent or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Securities; and
(g) reduce the percentage or aggregate Principal amount of outstanding Securities of the relevant series the consent of whose Holders is required for any supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults and their consequences provided for in this Indenture. A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series or of the coupons appertaining to such Securities. It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Holder under this Section 11.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 11.2 becomes effective, the Company shall give to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company will mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.
