Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance (a) When (1) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Indenture) for cancellation or (2) all outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or on a redemption date as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article III of the Indenture and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Indenture), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then the Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c) of the Indenture, cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.
(b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02 of the Indenture, the Company at any time may terminate (1) all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) its obligations under Sections 4.03, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 4.14 of the Indenture and the operation of Sections 6.01(4), 6.01(6), 6.01(7), 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) of the Indenture (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(7) and (8) of the Indenture, with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries and Subsidiary Guarantors) and the limitations contained in Sections 5.01(a)(3) of the Indenture (“covenant defeasance option”).

If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(4), 6.01(6), 6.01(7), 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) of the Indenture (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(7) and 6.01(8) of the Indenture, with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries and Subsidiary Guarantors) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a)(3) of the Indenture. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor, if any, shall be released from all its obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guaranty. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.

Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance (a) This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect and any collateral then securing the Notes shall be released (except as to surviving rights of registration or transfer or exchange of Notes and certain rights of the Trustee with respect to compensation and indemnity (and the Issuer’s obligations with respect thereto), as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when:

(b) Subject to Section 8.2, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) and have each Guarantor’s obligation discharged with respect to its Guarantee and cure any then-existing Events of Default (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14 and the operation of Section 4.1 (other than Sections 4.1(a)(i), (ii) and (vi) and Section 4.1(c)(iv)) and Sections 6.1(iii) (with respect to any Default under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14 and the operation of Section 4.1 (other than Sections 4.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) and Section 4.1(c)(iv)), 6.1(iv), 6.1(v) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer only), 6.1(vi) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer only) and 6.1(vii) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of the covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Issuer terminates all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) by exercising the legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of such Notes shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations. If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(b). Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.
(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 7.6, 7.7 and in this Article VIII shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full.

The Capped Funding Notes will be issued as definitive notes in fully registered form in minimum initial Security Balances of $10,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, together with any additional amount necessary to cover (i) the aggregate initial Security Balance of the Capped Funding Notes surrendered at the time of the initial denominational exchange thereof (with such initial Security Balance in each case being deemed to be the Security Balance of the Capped Funding Notes at the time of such initial denominational exchange thereof) or (ii) the aggregate initial Security Balance of any Capped Funding Notes issued in an exchange described in subsection (d) below. The Indenture Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the Notes) deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Term Notes for the purposes of exercising the rights of Holders of Term Notes hereunder. Except as provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of Beneficial Owners with respect to the Term Notes shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depository and Depository Participants.

Requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Term Notes shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. The Indenture Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Noteholders and give notice to the Depository of such record date. Without the consent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, no Term Note may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Note for the account of the Beneficial Owners.
