AMENDMENTS

SECTION 1.01 Amendments.

(a) Subject to Section 2.02 hereof, the Indenture is hereby amended by replacing in their entireties and Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 4.1(a)(iv), 4.1(b), 5.8, 6.1(iv) and 6.1(vii) of the Indenture with “[Reserved]”.

(b) Subject to Section 2.02 hereof, the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting the first two sentences of Section 5.4 and replacing it in its entirety with the following sentences:

The Issuer shall give or cause to be given in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed not less than 2 Business Days nor more than 60 days prior to a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”). At the Issuer’s written request delivered at least 3 Business Days (or such shorter period as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date, the Trustee may give notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date, but not more than a year, prior to such event, if the notice is issued in connection with Article VIII, or if the redemption date is delayed as provided for in Section 5.2(b).

(c) Subject to Section 2.02 hereof, the Notes are hereby amended by deleting the last paragraph of Section 2 and replacing it in its entirety with the following:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender for or other offer to purchase any Notes, if Holders of not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender or other offer and the Issuer, or any third party making such a tender or other offer in lieu of the Issuer, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, all of the holders of the Notes will be deemed to have consented to such tender or other offer and accordingly, the Issuer or such third party will have the right upon not less than 2 Business Days nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem all (but not less than all) Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to each other Holder in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender or other offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

(d) Effective as of the date hereof, none of the Company, the Trustee or any other parties to or beneficiaries of the Indenture shall have any rights, obligations or liabilities under the Sections or Clauses referred to in Section 1.01(a) above and such Sections or Clauses shall not be considered in determining whether an Event of Default has occurred or whether the Company has observed, performed or complied with the provisions of the Indenture.

SECTION 1.02 Amendment of Definitions. Subject to Section 2.02 hereof, the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting any definitions from the Indenture with respect to which references would be eliminated as a result of the amendments of the Indenture pursuant to Section 1.01 hereof.
