Section 104. Acts of Holders.

(1) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities and such instrument or instruments are

- 10 -

signed by the requisite Holders under the Indenture and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and/or the Guarantors. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities and the Issuer, the Guarantors and any agent of such Trustee, the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section 104. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be recorded in the manner provided in Section 1306.

The Issuer may at its discretion set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture, but the Issuer shall have no obligation to do so. If not set by the Issuer prior to the first solicitation of Holders of Securities of a particular series made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such vote or consent. Upon the fixing of such a record date, those Persons who were Holders of Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled with respect to such Securities to take such action by vote or consent or to revoke any vote or consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

(2) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities deems reasonably sufficient.

(3) The principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

(4) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee for such Securities, the Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, the Guarantors or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Section 105. Notices, Etc. to Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other documents provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(1) the Trustee for a series of Securities by any Holder or by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with such Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or if sent by facsimile transmission, to 000-000-0000 or to any other facsimile number previously provided by the Trustee, with a copy mailed, first class postage prepaid to the Trustee addressed to it as provided above, or

- 11 -

(2) the Issuer or any of the Guarantors by such Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in paragraphs (4) and (5) of Section 501) if furnished in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, addressed to the Issuer at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to such Trustee by the Issuer, or if sent by facsimile transmission, to 000-000-0000 or to any other facsimile number previously provided to the Trustee by the Issuer, with a copy mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Issuer addressed to it as provided above.

Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) to Holders of Securities if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

In any case where notice to Holders of Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. Any notice mailed in the manner prescribed by this Indenture shall be conclusively deemed to have been given whether or not received by any particular Holder. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the reasonable approval of the Trustee for such Securities shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee for such Securities, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act which is required to be a part of and govern the Indenture, the latter provision shall control, but only to the extent that such provisions of the Trust Indenture Act are applicable to a series of Securities issued under the Indenture. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the provision shall be deemed to apply to the Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be

- 12 -

Section 109. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer and the Guarantors shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 111. Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 112. Governing Law.

This Indenture, the Guarantees and the Securities shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Section 113. Non-Business Day.

Unless otherwise stated with respect to Securities of any series, in any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of a Security of any particular series shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment with respect to Securities of that series, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, with respect to such Security need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

Section 114. Immunity of Incorporators, Limited Partners, Shareholders, Trustees, Directors and Officers.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), or the interest, if any, on any Security of any series, or for any claim based thereon, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, against any incorporator, limited partner, shareholder, trustee, director, officer or employee, as such, past, present or future, of the Issuer,

- 13 -

any of the Guarantors or of any successor entity to the Issuer or such Guarantor, either directly or indirectly through the Issuer, such Guarantor or any successor entity to the Issuer or such Guarantor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment of penalty or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Indenture, the Guarantees and all the Securities of each series are solely obligations of the Issuer and/or the Guarantors (as the case may be), and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or is incurred by, any incorporator, limited partner, shareholder, trustee, director, officer or employee, past, present or future, of the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or of any successor entity to the Issuer or such Guarantor, either directly or indirectly through the Issuer, such Guarantor or any successor corporation to the Issuer or such Guarantor, because of the incurring of the indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities of any series, or to be implied herefrom or therefrom; and that all such personal liability is hereby expressly released and waived as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of the Securities of each series.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Issuer to deliver the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to Sections 102 and 301 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein manually executed by the Trustee for such Security or on its behalf pursuant to Section 614, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for such series then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Trustee, or any successor Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities.

Each Depositary designated for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section 303 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.

Section 304. Temporary Securities and Exchange of Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any particular series, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer Order the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner specified in Section 303, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in any denomination, with like terms and conditions as the definitive Securities of like series in lieu of which they are issued in registered form, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Any such temporary Securities may be in global form, representing such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein.

If temporary Securities of any particular series are issued, the Issuer shall cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay following the expiration or satisfaction of any conditions (if any) to the issue of such definitive Securities. After the preparation of such definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any particular series, the Issuer shall execute and (in accordance with an Issuer Order delivered at or prior to the authentication of the first definitive Security of such series) the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and provisions. Until exchanged as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and with like terms and conditions, except as to payment of interest, if any, authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Any temporary Global Security and any definitive Global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the designated Depositary.

- 21 -

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for the Securities of each series a register (the register maintained in such office being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee for the Securities of each series is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities of such series as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any particular series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for that series, if necessary to effect such registration or transfer, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of each series shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations, and of a like Stated Maturity and of a like series and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and conditions.

Except as set forth below, at the option of the Holder, Securities of any particular series may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations, and of a like Stated Maturity and of a like series and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and conditions upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, if necessary to effect such exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee for such Securities shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 305 or Section 304, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

If at any time the Depositary for Securities of a series notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 303, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities for such series. If (i) a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, (ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee for Securities of such series an Issuer Order stating that the Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for Securities in definitive form, or (iii) an Event of Default under Section 501 hereof has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

The Issuer may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any

- 22 -

series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form representing the aggregate principal amount of such Global Security, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 305 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Security to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors, respectively, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee for such Security) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar for such series duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

The Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1104 and ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of Securities to be so redeemed, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption as a whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee for such Security or the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee for a Security receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Guarantors and such Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless from any loss or liability which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced and subsequently presented or claimed for payment, then, in the absence

- 23 -

of notice to the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or such Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and upon its request such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for such mutilated Security a new Security of the same series and in a like principal amount and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee for such Security such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss or liability which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced and subsequently presented or claimed for payment, and in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Issuer, the Guarantors and such Trustee and any agent of any of them of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and the ownership thereof.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 306, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including all fees and expenses of the Trustee for such Security) connected therewith.

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 306 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for any mutilated Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and each such new Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and each such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 306 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in such Security, be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment.

Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made at the Corporate Trust Office or, at the option of the Issuer may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer of funds to the Person entitled thereto at a bank account maintained within the United States.

Any interest on any Security of any particular series which is payable, but is not

- 24 -

punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Issuer or any of the Guarantors may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of that series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee for the Securities of such series in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of that series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer or any of the Guarantors shall deposit with such Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series), equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to such Trustee for such deposit on or 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 clause provided. Thereupon such Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by such Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. Such Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of that series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of that series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

(2) The Issuer or any of the Guarantors may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities of any particular series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice is given by the Issuer to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of the proposed manner of payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by such Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307 and Section 305, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee for such Security and any agent of the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or

- 25 -

such Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantors, such Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or such Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

None of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 309. Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund payment, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee for such Securities, be delivered to such Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer or any of the Guarantors may at any time deliver to the Trustee for Securities of a series for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by such Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, in the case of a series, all the Securities of which are not to be originally issued at one time, a Security of such series shall not be deemed to have been Outstanding at any time hereunder if and to the extent that, subsequent to the authentication and delivery thereof, such Security is delivered to the Trustee for such Security for cancellation by the Issuer or any agent thereof upon the failure of the original purchaser thereof to make payment therefor against delivery thereof, and any Security so delivered to such Trustee shall be promptly cancelled by it. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 309, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee for such Securities shall be disposed of by such Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures and a certificate of disposition evidencing such disposition of Securities shall be provided to the Issuer, upon its written request therefor, by such Trustee.

Section 310. Computation of Interest.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any particular series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

ARTICLE FOUR

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 401. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, with respect to the Securities of any series, elect to have either Section 402 or 403 be applied to all of the Outstanding Securities of that series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Four.

- 26 -

Section 402. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 402, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all Outstanding Securities of the particular series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied with respect to that series (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged all the obligations relating to the Outstanding Securities of that series and the Securities of that series shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 406, Section 408 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to below in this Section 402, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture with respect to that series and cured all then existing Events of Default (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, 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 Securities of the particular series to receive payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due or on the Redemption Date solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture; (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Securities concerning issuing temporary Securities of that series, or, where relevant, registration of such Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities of that series and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for Security payments held in trust; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee for the Securities of that series, and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the obligations owed to the Trustee under Section 607 hereof; and (e) this Article Four and the obligations set forth in Section 406 hereof.

Subject to compliance with this Article Four, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 402 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 403 with respect to the Securities of a particular series.

Section 403. Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 403, (i) the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be released from any obligations under the covenants contained in Section 704, Sections 801 and 803, Sections 1004 through 1008, inclusive, and such other obligations as shall be set forth in any supplemental indenture for the Securities of a series and (ii) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 501(4) (with respect to any of Section 704, Sections 801 and 803, Sections 1004 through 1008, inclusive, and such other obligations as shall be set forth in any supplemental indenture for the Securities of that series), 501(5) and 501(8) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of the particular series, on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of that series 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

- 27 -

covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of that series, the Issuer 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 under Section 501(4) but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of that series shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 404. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 402 or Section 403 to the Outstanding Securities of a particular series:

(1) the Issuer or any of the Guarantors must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be irrevocably deposited, with the Trustee for the Securities of that series, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, cash in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of that series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of that series), Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, delivered to the Trustee, to pay (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, due on the Outstanding Securities of that series, or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of that series; and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance;

(4) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series shall have

occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of Default under Section 501(5) or Section 501(6) shall have occurred and be continuing on the 90th day after such date (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound; and

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (which opinion of counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

Section 405. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Securities of any particular series issued hereunder when either (i) all Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (except (a) lost, stolen or destroyed Securities which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (b) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in the last paragraph of Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series for cancellation or (ii) (a) all Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation are due and payable by their terms within one year or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the making of a notice of redemption and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with such Trustee as trust funds in trust an amount of cash in any combination of currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series for cancellation for principal (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; (b) no Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and no Event of Default under Section 501(7) or Section 501(8) shall have occurred and be continuing on the 90th day after such date (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day); (c) the Issuer has paid, or caused to be paid, all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and (d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee for the Securities of that series under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Securities at the Stated Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be. In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee for the Securities of that series stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Section 406. Survival of Certain Obligations.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and of the Securities of a particular series, the respective obligations of the Issuer and the Trustee for the Securities of a

- 29 -

particular series under Sections 303, 304, 305, 309, 407, 408, 409, 410, and 508, Article Six, and Sections 701, 702, 1002, 1003 and 1005, shall survive with respect to Securities of that series until the Securities of that series are no longer Outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the Issuer and the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series with respect to that series under Sections 407, 408, 409, and 410 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. Nothing contained in this Article Four shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee of any series of Securities under this Indenture.

Section 407. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee.

Subject to Section 410, after (i) the conditions of Section 404 or 405 have been satisfied with respect to the Securities of a particular series, (ii) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer and (iii) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series 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 have been complied with, the Trustee for the Securities of that series upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of all of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in this Article Four.

Section 408. Application of Trust Moneys.

All money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series pursuant to Section 404 or 405 in respect of the Securities of that series shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee for the Securities of a particular series against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 404 or 405 with respect to the Securities of that series or the principal and interest 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 Securities of that series.

Section 409. Repayment to the Issuer; Unclaimed Money.

The Trustee and any Paying Agent for a series of Securities shall promptly pay or return to the Issuer upon Issuer Order any cash or Government Obligations held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities for which cash or Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 404 or 405.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the Securities of any series, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security of any particular series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or

- 30 -

abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trusts; and the Holder of such Security shall, thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of such Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that such Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment may give written notice to the Holder of such Security in the manner set forth in Section 106, that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Issuer, as the case may be.

Section 410. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent for a series of Securities is unable to apply any cash or Government Obligations, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 402, 403, 404 or 405 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 Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of that series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 402, 403, 404 or 405 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent for that series is permitted to apply all such cash or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 402, 403, 404 or 405 (as applicable); provided, however, that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the cash or Government Obligations, as the case may be, held by such Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE FIVE

REMEDIES

Section 501. Events of Default.

(7) the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall commence any case or proceeding seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as debtor or to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent or seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, arrangement, composition or readjustment of its debts or any other relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement, composition, readjustment of debt or other similar act or law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, now or hereafter existing; or the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall apply for a receiver, custodian or trustee (other than any trustee appointed as a mortgagee or secured party

(8) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or similar official of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any substantial part of their respective property; and such case or other proceeding (a) results in the entry of an order for relief or a similar order against the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor or (b) shall continue unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(9) except as otherwise permitted herein or any supplemental indenture with respect hereto, any Guarantee by the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Securities of any series shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect, or the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any such Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm in writing its obligations under its Guarantee with respect to Securities of that series; or

(10) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default with respect to any particular series of Securities occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default described in Section 501(7) or (8) with respect to the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor), then and in every such case either the Trustee for the Securities of such series or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the entire principal amount (or, in the case of OID Securities, such lesser amount as may be provided for in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) of all the Securities of that series, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor (and to such Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration of acceleration such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, together with accrued interest and all other amounts owing hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

If any Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) or (8) occurs with respect to the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor, all of the unpaid principal amount (or, if the Securities of any series then Outstanding are OID Securities, such lesser amount as may be provided for in the terms of that series) and accrued interest on all Securities of each series then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or any Holder.

- 33 -

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee for the Securities of any series as hereinafter provided in this Article Five, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor and such Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(1) the Issuer or any of the Guarantors has paid or deposited with such Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series):

(a) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series;

(b) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration (or specified portion thereof) and interest thereon from the date such principal became due at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or, in the case of OID Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity), to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable;

(c) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or, in the case of OID Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity); and

(d) all sums paid or advanced by such Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607;

and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to the Securities of such series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities of that series which has become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Issuer and the Guarantors covenant that if:

(1) default is made in the payment of any interest upon any Security of any series when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity;

the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, upon demand of the Trustee for the Securities of such series, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such

- 34 -

interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by such Securities (or, in the case of OID Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity); and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607.

If the Issuer or the Guarantors fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, such Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any particular series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of that series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as such Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relating to the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series or the property of the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or of any such other obligor, the Trustee for the Securities of such series (irrespective of whether the principal (or, if the Securities of such series are OID Securities, such amount as may be due and payable with respect to such Securities pursuant to a declaration in accordance with Section 502) of any Security of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or, if the Securities of such series are OID Securities, such amount as may be due and payable with respect to such Securities pursuant to a declaration in accordance with Section 502) (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607) and of the Holders of the Securities of such series allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

- 35 -

(2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such payments to such Trustee, and in the event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities, to pay to such Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee for the Securities of any series to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of such series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee for the Securities of any series to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions.

Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee for the Securities of any series without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by such Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to such Trustee under Section 607, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 506. Application of Money Collected.

Any money collected by the Trustee for the Securities of any series pursuant to this Article Five with respect to the Securities of such series shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by such Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities of such series, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due such Trustee under Section 607;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and

THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Issuer.

- 36 -

Section 507. Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any Security of any particular series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(1) an Event of Default with respect to that series shall have occurred and be continuing and such Holder shall have previously given written notice to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of such default and the continuance thereof;

(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee for the Securities of such series to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to such Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(4) such Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to such Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of that series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities of that series, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Securities of that series.

Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal (and Premium, if any) and Interest, if any.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal and interest on the notes at the respective due dates for payment and delivery upon exchange of cash and shares of common stock of the Parent Guarantor (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. In addition, in the case of Securities of any series that is convertible or exchangeable, anything in the Indenture or such Securities to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder of any Security of that series, without the consent of either the Trustee or the Holder of any other Security, in its own behalf and for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to enforce, its rights of conversion or exchange as provided in the Indenture or such Securities.

- 37 -

Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee for the Securities of any series or any Holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to such Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Guarantors, such Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of such Trustee and such Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee for the Securities of any series or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee for the Securities of any series or of any Holder of any Security of such series to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to such Trustee for the Securities of any series or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by such Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 512. Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any particular series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee for the Securities of such series with respect to the Securities of that series or exercising any trust or power conferred on such Trustee with respect to such Securities, provided that:

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;

(2) such Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by such Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and

(3) such Trustee need not take any action which might expose it to personal liability, without the prior receipt of reasonable indemnity (as determined by the Trustee in its reasonable discretion) from Holders requesting such action, or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not joining therein.

- 38 -

Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Subject to Section 502, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any particular series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of that series waive any past default hereunder with respect to that series and its consequences, except:

(1) a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of that series; or

(2) a default with respect to a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 902 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of that series affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 514. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for the Securities of any series for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 514 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee for the Securities of any series, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any particular series or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

Section 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Issuer and the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee for any series of Securities, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(1) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series for which the Trustee is serving as such,

(a) such Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against such Trustee and permissive rights of the Trustee hereunder shall not constitute performance duties; and

(b) in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, such Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to such Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to such Trustee, such Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(2) In case an Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(3) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee for Securities of any series from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (1) of this Section 601;

(b) such Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

- 40 -

(d) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee for any series of Securities to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(4) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee for any series of Securities shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 601.

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 Six, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for such series then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee or Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities.

Section 614. Authenticating Agents.

At any time when any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may, subject to its sole discretion, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with respect to the Securities of such series, which may include the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or any Affiliate of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, with power to act on the Trustee’s behalf and subject to its discretion in the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series in connection with transfers and exchanges under Sections 304, 305 and 1107 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 Securities of such series. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series by an Authenticating Agent for such Securities pursuant to this Section 614 shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Securities “by the Trustee” for the Securities 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, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $150,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent 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 614 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 for any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 614, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 614.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding

- 48 -

to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 614, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

Any Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Issuer. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer in the manner set forth in Section 105. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible under this Section 614, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its 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 614. The Issuer agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for its reasonable expenses relating thereto.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series of Securities is made pursuant to this Section 614, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certification of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

“This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein described in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Section 1004. Statements as to Compliance.

Section 1009. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

The Issuer and the Guarantors may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 1004 to 1008, inclusive, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of more than 50% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series of Securities affected by the omission shall, in each case by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors and the duties of the Trustee for the Securities of each series with respect to any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Upon surrender of such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security or specified portions thereof shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by the Security (or, in the case of OID Securities, the Security’s Yield to Maturity).

Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee for such Security so requires, due endorsement by, or a written Indenture of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, and the Security Registrar for such Security duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, of the same series and having the same terms and provisions and in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

GUARANTEES

Section 1401. Guarantees.

Each of the Guarantors hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each Holder of the Securities and to the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption, by repurchase or otherwise, of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities and all other obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture, other than the delivery of any cash amount of the aggregate daily exchange value in excess of the principal amount of the Securities and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”). Each of the Guarantors further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article Fourteen notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Each of the Guarantors waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each of the Guarantors waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Obligations. The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise, (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof, (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Obligations or any of them, or (v) any change in the ownership of the Issuer.

Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), 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 Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each of the Guarantors herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder to assert any claim

- 68 -

or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities 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 each of the Guarantors or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantors as a matter of law or equity.

Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any of the Guarantors by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

Each of the Guarantors further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

Each of the Guarantors also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 1401.

Section 1402. No Subrogation.

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantors hereunder, none of the Guarantors shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any of the Guarantors seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any of the Guarantors on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

- 69 -

Section 1403. Consideration.

Each of the Guarantors has received, or shall receive, direct or indirect benefits from the making of the Guarantee.

Section 1404. Release of Subsidiary Guarantors.

Upon termination for any reason of all of the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Sunstone Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of the Sunstone Credit Agreement, upon agreement of the lenders thereunder or upon replacement thereof with a credit facility not requiring such guarantees or upon such Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to be a Subsidiary or upon there ceasing to be a Sunstone Credit Agreement) and the delivery of the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate, upon which the Trustee may rely conclusively, with respect to the foregoing matters, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed released from all its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee and such Guarantee shall terminate. In addition, a Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee will also terminate and such Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed released from all of its Obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Securities in connection with any sale or other disposition by the Parent Guarantor of all of the capital stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) or other transaction such that after giving effect to such transaction such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that is organized in the United States, any of the States or the District of Columbia. Any release described in this Section 1404 may be evidenced by a supplemental indenture or other instrument which may be entered into without the consent of any Holders.

Section 1405. Future Subsidiary Guarantors.

After the date of this Indenture, any Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that is organized in the United States, any of the States or the District of Columbia and that was not a Sunstone Credit Agreement Obligor becomes a Sunstone Credit Agreement Obligor, the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor shall arrange for such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee within 60 days of becoming a Sunstone Credit Agreement Obligor, a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary Guarantor shall fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each Holder of the Securities and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the Obligations.

Section 1406. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall

- 70 -

be limited to the maximum amount as would, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Fourteen, cause the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not to constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.
