(1) a change in or an amendment to the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the Republic of Xxxxxxxx Islands or any political subdivision, or any other jurisdiction in which the Company (including any successor entity) is organized or is otherwise resident for tax purposes, affecting taxation, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date of this Second Supplemental Indenture; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such notice of redemption may be given earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due.

(1) any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than one or more Permitted Holders, is or becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that for purposes of this clause (1) such Person shall be deemed to have “Beneficial Ownership” of all shares that any such Person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the Company;

(2) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person or the merger of another Person with or into the Company, or the sale of all or

substantially all the assets of the Company (determined on a consolidated basis) to another Person other than (i) a transaction in which the survivor or transferee is a Person that is controlled by the Permitted Holders or (ii) a transaction following which, in the case of a merger or consolidation transaction, holders of securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction (or other securities into which such securities are converted as part of such merger or consolidation transaction) own directly or indirectly at least a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation transaction immediately after such transaction and in substantially the same proportion as before the transaction; or

(3) Continuing Directors and the directors nominated by the Holders pursuant to Section 5.09 of this Second Supplemental Indenture cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors.

(b) On or before the 20th day after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will provide to all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice of the occurrence of the Change of Control and of the resulting purchase right. Such notice shall state, among other things: (i) the events causing a Change of Control; (ii) the date of the Change of Control; (iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right; (iv) the Change of Control Purchase Price; (v) the Change of Control Purchase Date; (vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent; and (vii) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to purchase their Notes.

(c) To exercise the Change of Control purchase right, Holders must deliver, on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Notes to be purchased, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written purchase notice and the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse side of the Notes duly completed, to the Paying Agent. The purchase notice must state: (i) if certificated, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for purchase or if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate Depository procedures; (ii) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, which must be $1,000 or a multiple thereof; and (iii) that the Notes are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and the Indenture.

(d) Holders may withdraw any purchase notice (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Change of Control Purchase Date. The notice of withdrawal shall state: (i) the principal amount of the withdrawn Notes; (ii) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes, or if not certificated, the notice must comply with appropriate Depository procedures; and (iii) the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the purchase notice.

(e) On each Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control offer made by the Company, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent at least one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Purchase Date an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control offer made by the Company and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased. If the Paying Agent holds money or securities sufficient to pay the Change of

Control Purchase Price of the Notes on the Change of Control Purchase Date, then: (i) the Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes is made or whether or not the Notes are delivered to the Paying Agent); and (ii) all other rights of the Holder will terminate (other than the right to receive the Change of Control Purchase Price).

(f) In connection with any purchase offer pursuant to a Change of Control purchase notice, the Company will, if required, comply with the provisions of the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable and file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of such conflicts.

(g) No Notes may be purchased at the option of Holders upon a Change of Control if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date.

(8) to make provisions with respect to conversion or exchange rights of Holders of the Notes; or

Section 7.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. Solely for the purposes of the Notes (and not in relation to any other series of Securities), Section 9.2 of the Base Indenture shall be deemed to be replaced in its entirety by this Section 7.02.

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company (when authorized by or pursuant to a Company’s Board Resolution), the Guarantors and the Trustee (upon Company Order) may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note, shall

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any premium or installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate (or modify the calculation of such rate) of interest thereon or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or otherwise, or change the obligation of the Company and the Guarantors to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, or change the redemption provisions or change the Place of Payment, Currency in which the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Notes is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or

(4) change the ranking of the Outstanding Notes or the Guarantees, or

(5) make any change that adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any Note into or for securities of the Company or other securities (whether or not issued by the Company), cash or property in accordance with its terms, or

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which shall have been included expressly and solely for the benefit of the Notes, or which modifies the rights of the Holders Notes with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the Base Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders of Notes under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

ARTICLE VIII

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

Section 8.01. Additional Amounts.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Company under or with respect to the Notes (or by any Guarantor with respect to any Guarantee) shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter “Taxes”) unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is then required by law. If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of the Republic of Xxxxxxxx Islands or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or any other jurisdiction in which the Company (including any successor entity) or such Guarantor is organized or is otherwise resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made (including, without limitation, the jurisdiction of each paying agent) (each a “Specified Tax Jurisdiction”), will at any time be required to be made from any payments made under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees. The Company and the Guarantors shall pay such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received in respect of such payments by a Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such

withholding or deduction shall not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to:

(1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes having any present or former connection with the Specified Tax Jurisdiction (other than the mere acquisition, ownership, holding, enforcement or receipt of payment in respect of the Notes);

(2) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

(3) any Taxes payable other than by deduction or withholding from payments under, or with respect to, the Notes;

(4) any Taxes imposed as a result of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes to complete, execute and deliver to the Company any form or document to the extent applicable to such Holder or beneficial owner that may be required by law or by reason of administration of such law and which is reasonably requested in writing to be delivered to the Company in order to enable the Company to make payments on the Notes without deduction or withholding for Taxes, or with deduction or withholding of a lesser amount, which form or document will be delivered within 60 days of a written request therefor by the Company;

(5) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the beneficiary of the payment having presented a Note for payment (in cases in which presentation is required) more than 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period);

(6) any Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment by the Company to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary or partnership or Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note;

(7) any Taxes that are required to be deducted or withheld on a payment pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any law implementing, or introduced in order to conform to, such directive; or

(8) any combination of clauses (1) through (7) above.

(b) If the Company or any Guarantor becomes aware that it will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any payment under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees, the Company will deliver to the Trustee and Paying Agent at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 30th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Company will notify the Trustee and Paying Agent promptly thereafter but in no event later than two Business Days prior to the date of payment) an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the

amount so payable. The Officer’s Certificate shall also set forth any other information necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to Holders on the relevant payment date. The Trustee and Paying Agent will be entitled to rely solely on such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive proof that such payments are necessary. The Company will provide the Trustee and Paying Agent with documentation evidencing the payment of Additional Amounts.

(c) The Company will make all withholdings and deductions required by law and will remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority on a timely basis in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable, the Company will provide the Trustee and Paying Agent with an official receipt or, if official receipts are not obtainable, other documentation evidencing the payment of the Taxes so withheld or deducted. Upon request, copies of those receipts or other documentation, as the case may be, will be made available by the Trustee and Paying Agent to the Holders of the Notes.

(d) Whenever in the Base Indenture or this Second Supplemental Indenture there is referenced, in any context, the payment of amounts based upon the principal amount of the Notes or of principal, interest or any other amount payable under, or with respect to, the Notes or the Guarantees, such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this Section 8.01 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(e) The Company will indemnify a Holder, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes paid by such Holder to a governmental authority of a Specified Tax Jurisdiction, on or with respect to any payment by on or account of any obligation of the Company to withhold or deduct an amount on account of Taxes for which the Company would have been obliged to pay Additional Amounts hereunder and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Holder will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) The Company will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any Specified Tax Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, the Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereof, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes, and the Company will indemnify the Holders for any such taxes paid by such Holders.

Section 8.02. Obligations to Survive. The obligations described in Section 8.01 of this Second Supplemental Indenture will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor person to the Company is organized or any political subdivision or authority or agency thereof or therein.

ARTICLE IX

Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 9.01.

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 of the Base Indenture hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 5 of the Base Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees.

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective in any insolvency proceeding affecting the Company, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Guarantees thereof, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

In case any provision of any Guarantee 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.

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 9.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, 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, state or foreign 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 be limited to the maximum amount as shall, 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 IX, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting 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 the 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 U.S. GAAP.

Section 9.03. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 9.01 of this Second Supplemental Indenture, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President, one of its Vice Presidents or one of its Assistant Vice Presidents.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 9.01 of this Second Supplemental Indenture shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Second Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

If required by Section 5.08 of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall cause any newly created or acquired Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 5.08 of this Second Supplemental Indenture and this Article IX, to the extent applicable.

Section 9.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.01 of this Second Supplemental Indenture; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under the Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

Section 9.05. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Second Supplemental Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 9.06. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., Only on Certain Terms.

(a) A Guarantor shall not consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person, or sell, assign, convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other Person, and such Guarantor shall not permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into such Guarantor or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to such Guarantor; unless:

(iii) the transaction constitutes the sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, consolidation, amalgamation, wind-up liquidation, dissolution or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), other than to a Subsidiary of the Company, and such sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the Indenture;

(b) In the event of any sale, consolidation, merger, transfer, assignment, conveyance, lease or other transaction pursuant to this Section 9.06, either such Guarantor or the successor Person shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with this Section 9.06 and that all conditions precedent in the Indenture provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

(c) Upon any consolidation by a Guarantor with or merger of a Guarantor into any other Person or any conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets of a Guarantor substantially as an entirety to any Person in accordance with this Section 9.06, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which such Guarantor is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Guarantor under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as a Guarantor in the Indenture.

(2) the Company exercising its legal defeasance option in accordance with Section 4.2(2) of the Base Indenture or covenant defeasance option in accordance with Section 4.2(3) of the Base Indenture or the Company’s obligations under the Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

(3) the merger or consolidation of any Guarantor with and into the Company or another Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following the transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to the Company or another Guarantor; and

(b) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment shall be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to such next Business Day. The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be January 15, April 15, July 15 or October 15 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest which is payable but not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder hereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue or having been such Holder, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a subsequent special record date (which shall be at least 10 days before the payment date) for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders of Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

Exhibit A - Page 1

Company maintained for that purpose in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, interest may be paid by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; provided, further, that payment to DTC or any successor depository may be made by wire transfer to the account designated by DTC or such successor depository in writing.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 5.50% Senior Notes due 2025 (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of October 10, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated February 14, 2018, among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Company shall pay to the Holder of this Note such Additional Amounts and other amounts as may be payable under Section 8.01 of the Second Supplement Indenture and such Additional Interest as may be payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. Whenever in this Note there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (or premium, if any), interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to this Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts and/or Additional Interest to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts and/or Additional Interest are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The Notes are redeemable by the Company at its option prior to maturity as set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 of the Second Supplemental Indenture.

The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of the Notes of each series issued under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding of each series affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.

Exhibit A - Page 2

binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note, at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein and in this Note, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form in the denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, and in this Note, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of this series in different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than in certain cases provided in the Indenture.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Indenture contains provisions whereby (i) the Company and the Guarantors may be discharged from their obligations with respect to the Notes (subject to certain exceptions) or (ii) the Company may be released from its obligations under specified covenants and agreements in the Indenture, in each case if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in an amount sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all Notes of this series, and satisfies certain other conditions, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made or instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in said State.

All terms used in this Note without definition that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
