Whenever the Issuer or each of the Guarantors shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Notes, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, on or interest on any Notes, irrevocably deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal of, or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer or each of the Guarantors will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act. Each Paying Agent, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.03, will:

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer or each of the Guarantors, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable will be paid to the Issuer or each of the Guarantors at the written request of the Issuer or each of the Guarantors, or (if then held by the Issuer or each of the Guarantors) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer or each of the Guarantors for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer or each of the Guarantors as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, shall, upon request and at the expense of the Issuer or each of the Guarantors, cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in (i) the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and (ii) for so long as such Notes are listed on any stock exchange, upon publication in English in a leading newspaper of general circulation in the country in which such stock exchange is located, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after the date specified therein, which will not be less than thirty calendar days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer or each of the Guarantors.
