SECTION 102.         COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS

Upon any application or request by the Issuer or the Guarantors to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantors, or both, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (except for certificates provided for in Section 1005) shall include

(i)            a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

(ii)           a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(iii)          a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(iv)          a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

SECTION 103.         FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Issuer or the Guarantors, or both, as the case may be, may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which such Officer’s certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Officer or Officers of the Issuer or the Guarantors, or both, as the case may be, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer or the Guarantors, or both, as the case may be, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

SECTION 104.         ACTS OF HOLDERS

(a)            Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made 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 herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and 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. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section 104.

(b)            The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Trustee reasonably deems sufficient. Where such execution is by a Person acting in a capacity other than such Person’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such Person’s authority. The fact and date of the execution 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 deems sufficient.

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

(d)            Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Senior Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Senior Note and the Holder of every Senior Note 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, the Issuer or the Guarantors in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Senior Note.

(e)            Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Senior Notes of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Senior Notes of such series; provided that neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors may set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Senior Notes of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Senior Notes of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Issuer or the Guarantors from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Senior Notes of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Senior Notes of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1603.

(f)            The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Senior notes of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any Notice of Acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Senior Notes of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Senior Notes of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Senior Notes of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Senior Notes of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Issuer’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing and to each Holder of Senior Notes of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1603.

(g)            With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 104, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Senior Notes of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1603, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 104, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.

(h)            Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Senior Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Senior Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

(i)            In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee agrees to accept and act upon notice, instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.

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 by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to a Holder of a Global Security, such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Security (or its designee), pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, not later than the latest date, if any, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

SECTION 105.         CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required to be a part of and govern this Indenture, such required provision shall control.

All Senior Notes of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Senior Notes of such series.

SECTION 302.         EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING

The Senior Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, a Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Vice President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer. The signature on the Senior Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Senior Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time relevant to the authorization thereof the proper officers of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Senior Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Senior Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Senior Notes of any series executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Senior Notes, and the Trustee, in accordance with the Issuer Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Senior Notes. If all of the Senior Notes of any series are not to be issued at one time and if the supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Issuer Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Senior Notes and determining the terms of particular Senior Notes of such series, such as interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In authenticating Senior Notes hereunder, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Senior Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(1)            an Opinion of Counsel, to the effect that:

 (a)            the form and terms of such Senior Notes or the manner of determining such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

 (b)            such Senior Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and

(2)            an Officers’ Certificate stating, to the best knowledge of each signer of such certificate, that no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Senior Notes shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Senior Notes if the issue of such Senior Notes pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Senior Notes and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

If all the Senior Notes of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate at the time of issuance of each such Senior Note, but such opinion and certificate shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Senior Note of such series to be issued.

Each Senior Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Senior Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Senior Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Senior Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Senior Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Senior Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall deliver such Senior Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 308, for all purposes of this Indenture such Senior Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 303.          REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively 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 Senior Notes and of transfers of Senior Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Senior Notes and transfers of Senior Notes as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Senior Note of a series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for such series, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Senior Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Senior Notes of any series may be exchanged for other Senior Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and principal amount, upon surrender of the Senior Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Senior Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Senior Notes, which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

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

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Senior Notes, but the Issuer 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 Senior Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 305, 907 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

If the Senior Notes of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Issuer shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Senior Notes of such series (or of such series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Senior Notes selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Senior Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Senior Note being redeemed in part.

The provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) of this paragraph shall apply only to Global Securities:

(1)            Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture: (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, (ii) shall constitute a single Senior Note for all purposes of this Indenture, and (iii) may provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Senior Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges.

(2)            Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, and subject to such applicable provisions, if any, as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Senior Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary has notified the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable or no longer permitted under applicable law to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if the Depositary ceases to be eligible under this Indenture to act as Depositary and the Issuer does not appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security, (C) the Issuer so directs the Trustee by an Issuer Order or (D) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301.

(3)            Subject to clause (2) above and to such applicable provisions, if any, as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301, any exchange of a Global Security for other Senior Notes may be made in whole or in part, and all Senior Notes issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

(4)            Every Senior Note authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 303, Section 304, Section 305, Section 907 or Section 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Senior Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

SECTION 304.         TEMPORARY SENIOR NOTES.

Pending the preparation of definitive Senior Notes of any series, the Issuer may execute, and, upon Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Senior Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Senior Notes of such series in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officer or Officers executing such Senior Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution thereof.

If temporary Senior Notes of any series are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Senior Notes of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Senior Notes of such series, the temporary Senior Notes of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Senior Notes of such series upon surrender of the temporary Senior Notes of such series at the office or agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Senior Notes of any series, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Senior Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Senior Notes of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Senior Notes of such series and tenor.

SECTION 305.         XXXXXXXXX, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SENIOR NOTES

If any mutilated Senior Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Senior Note of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Senior Note and (2) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Senior Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note, a new Senior Note of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer or the Guarantors in its or their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Senior Note, pay such Senior Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Senior Note under this Section 305, 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 the fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuer and the fees and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel) connected therewith.

Every new Senior Note of any series issued pursuant to this Section 305 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note and shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Senior Notes of such series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 305 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 Senior Notes.

SECTION 306.         PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Senior Notes, interest on any Senior Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Senior Note of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer or the Guarantors, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1)            The Issuer or the Guarantors may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest payable on Senior Notes of a series to the Persons in whose names the Senior Notes of such 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 or the Guarantors shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Senior Note of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit 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 the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not 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 the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Guarantors of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer or the Guarantors, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Senior Notes of such series in the manner set forth in Section 1603, 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 so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Senior Notes of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

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

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 306, each Senior Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Senior Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Senior Note.

In the case of any Senior Note which is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion, and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or made available for payment) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Senior Note which is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Senior Note shall not be payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of any Senior Note that may be converted may provide that the provisions of this paragraph do not apply, or apply with such additions, changes or omissions as may be provided thereby, to such Senior Note.

SECTION 307.         PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS

Prior to due presentment of a Senior Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Senior Note is registered as the owner of such Senior Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and, subject to Section 306, any interest on such Senior Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Senior Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 308.         CANCELLATION

All Senior Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer or the Guarantors may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Senior Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Senior Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Senior Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Senior Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Senior Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 308, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Senior Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary procedures. The Trustee shall provide the Issuer a list of all Senior Notes that have been cancelled from time to time as requested in writing by the Issuer.

SECTION 309.         COMPUTATION OF INTEREST

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

SECTION 310.         CUSIP NUMBERS

The Issuer in issuing any series of the Senior Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers and/or other similar numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such series, the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption with respect to such series; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Senior Notes of such series or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Senior Notes of such series, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly inform the Trustee, in writing, of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers.

SECTION 502.         ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT

If an Event of Default with respect to Senior Notes of any series at the time Outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) or (8)) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes of such series, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Guarantors (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and stating that it is a “Notice of Acceleration”, may declare the principal of (or, in the case of any Senior Note of such series which specifies an amount to be due and payable thereon upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof, such amount as may be specified by the terms thereof) and premium, if any, on all Senior Notes of such series and the interest accrued, if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon receipt of such notice the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable.

Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301 for all or any specific Senior Notes of any series, if at any time after the principal of the Senior Notes of any series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes of such series, by written notice to the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: the Issuer or the Guarantors shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if any, upon the Senior Notes of such series and the principal of, and premium, if any, on, the Senior Notes of such series which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal and premium, if any, at the rate borne by the Senior Notes of such series or as otherwise specified in accordance with Section 301, to the date of such payment or deposit) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 607, and if any and all Defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued interest on, the Senior Notes of such series which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 513, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes of such series then Outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and the Guarantors and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Holders and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Holders and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

SECTION 503.         COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE

The Issuer covenants that in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest upon any Senior Note as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days, or in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Senior Note as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at Maturity of the Senior Notes or in connection with any redemption or repurchase, by or under this Indenture or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, it will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Notes, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on such Senior Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by such Senior Notes and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the properly incurred costs and expenses of collection, including compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Senior Notes to the Holders, whether or not such Senior Notes are overdue.

In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or any other obligor on such Senior Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor on such Senior Notes wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for properly incurred compensation, expenses and disbursements, including counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Senior Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

SECTION 505.         TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SENIOR NOTES

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Senior Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Senior Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the 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 properly incurred compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 506.         APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED

Any monies or other compensation collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Five shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies or other compensation, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee (including any other role or capacities in which the Trustee acts with respect to the Senior Notes) under Section 607;

Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes 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 Senior Notes for principal and premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

Third: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or the Guarantors.

SECTION 507.         LIMITATION ON SUITS

No Holder of any Senior Note of any series shall have any right by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders 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 of such Holders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

SECTION 509.         PROCEEDINGS BY TRUSTEE

In case of an Event of Default with respect to Senior Notes of any series which occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, in its discretion, but shall not be required to, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Senior Notes of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary 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. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Senior Notes of such series or does not produce any of them in any proceeding.

SECTION 510.         RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Notes in the last paragraph of Section 305, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Senior Notes 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 or of any Holder of any Senior Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Senior Notes of such series, provided that

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

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

However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the terms of this Indenture or that the Trustee believes is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal or financial liability.

SECTION 513.         WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes of any series may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Senior Notes of such series, waive any past or existing default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default:

(1)            in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Note of such series, or

(2)            in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Senior Note of such series affected.

Upon any such waiver, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 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. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in reliance on a direction received by it pursuant to this Section 513.

SECTION 514.         UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Senior Note by its 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 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 the properly incurred costs, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section 514 nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee, a suit by a Holder under Section 508, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes.

SECTION 515.         WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will 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 each of the Issuer and the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(1)            the Trustee undertakes to perform, with respect to Senior Notes of such series, 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 the Trustee; and

(2)            in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely with respect to the Senior Notes of such series, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the 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 mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(b)            In case an Event of Default with respect to Senior Notes of any series has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise, with respect to Senior Notes of such series, 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.

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

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

(2)            the 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;

(3)            the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes of any series determined as provided in Sections 101, 104 and 512 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Senior Notes of such series; and

Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of Senior Notes of such series.

SECTION 604.         NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SENIOR NOTES

The recitals contained herein and in the Senior Notes (except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer and the Guarantors, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Senior Notes or the Guarantees. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of the Senior Notes or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 605.         MAY HOLD SENIOR NOTES

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer or the Guarantors or the Trustee (in each case, including its officers, directors, employees and affiliates), in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of, or acquire any interest in, any Senior Notes and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Issuer and the Guarantors with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 606.         MONEY HELD IN TRUST

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 607.         COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree:

(1)            to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed to in writing among the parties hereto, including the compensation described herein, for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(2)            except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all properly incurred expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including legal fees and the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense or disbursement as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct, and the Trustee shall provide the Issuer and the Guarantors reasonable notice of any expenditure not in the ordinary course of business; and

(3)            to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from and any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, penalties, fees, taxes, actions, suits, judgments, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel (“Losses”), of whatever kind or nature regardless of their merit, demanded, asserted or claimed against the Trustee in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Senior Notes, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture and the Senior Notes and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any holder, the Issuer, any Guarantor or otherwise), except to the extent such Losses are the direct result of the Trustee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment. The indemnity set out in this section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Senior Notes as to all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 607, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Senior Notes.

The provisions of this Section 607 shall survive the satisfaction, discharge and termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 608.         DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS

If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 609 and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent annual report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 609, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article Six.

SECTION 610.         RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR

(a)            No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611.

(b)            The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Senior Notes of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer and the Guarantors. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of such series.

(c)            The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Senior Notes of any series by act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes of such series, upon written notice delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer and the Guarantors. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Issuer or the Guarantors, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of such series.

(d)            If at any time:

(1)            the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by any Holder of a Senior Note who has been a bona fide Holder of a Senior Note for at least six months, or

(2)            the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by any such Holder, or

(3)            the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Issuer or the Guarantors may remove the Trustee with respect to all Senior Notes and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or (ii) subject to Section 514, Holders of 10% in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes of any series who have been bona fide Holders of such Senior Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Senior Notes and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

(e)            If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Senior Notes of one or more series, the Issuer or the Guarantors shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Senior Notes of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Senior Notes of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of any series shall be appointed by act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes of such series delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer or the Guarantors. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of any series shall have been so appointed by the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, Holders of 10% in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes of any series who have been bona fide Holders of Senior Notes of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of such series.

(f)            The Issuer or the Guarantors shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of any series to all Holders of Senior Notes of such series in the manner provided in Section 1603. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

(g)            Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 610, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 607 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 611.         ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR

(a)            In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Senior Notes, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer, the Guarantors and the retiring Trustee a written instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver a written instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b)            In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of one or more series shall execute and deliver a supplemental indenture hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of that or those series and the Guarantees thereof to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Senior Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of that or those series and the Guarantees thereof as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Issuer, the Guarantors or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Senior Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

(c)            Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 611, as the case may be.

(d)            No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article Six.

SECTION 612.         MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that 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 Senior Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion, consolidation or sale to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Senior Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Senior Notes; and in case at that time any Senior Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Senior Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Senior Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Senior Notes that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes of that series in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes and this Indenture.

SECTION 1002.       MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY

The Issuer will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Senior Notes an office or agency where Senior Notes of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Senior Notes of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where Senior Notes may be surrendered for conversion, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer or the Guarantors in respect of the Senior Notes of such series or the Guarantees thereof, as the case may be, and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.

SECTION 1003.       MONEY FOR SENIOR NOTES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST

(a)            If the Issuer shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee for any series of Senior Notes, the Issuer will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 1003:

(1)            that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Senior Notes of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on such Senior Notes) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Senior Notes;

(2)            that it will give the Trustee written notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Senior Notes of that series) to make any payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Senior Notes of that series when the same shall be due and payable; and

(3)            that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held.

The Issuer shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, or premium if any, or interest on, any series of the Senior Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum (in funds which are immediately available on the due date for such payment) sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest on such series of the Senior Notes and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit shall be received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m. New York time, on such date.

(b)            If the Issuer shall act as the Paying Agent with respect to any series of Senior Notes, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Senior Notes of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Senior Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due, will account for any funds disbursed by it and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Issuer (or any other obligor under the Senior Notes of such series) to make any payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Senior Notes of such series when the same shall become due and payable.

(c)            Anything in this Section 1003 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held by the Issuer or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 1003, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment by the Issuer or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Issuer or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such sums.

(d)            Subject to the requirements of applicable law and this Indenture, any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Note of any series and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holder of such Senior Note for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, such Senior Note, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee on written demand and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies; and the Holder of any such Senior Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for any payment that such Holder may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for the actions of any other Paying Agents (including the Issuer if acting as the Paying Agent) and shall have no control of any funds held by such other Paying Agents.

(a)            The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer, an Officer’s Certificate, one of the signers of which shall be the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Issuer, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Issuer is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Issuer shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and the status thereof of which the signer may have knowledge.

(b)            The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible after the Issuer becomes aware of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default and the action that the Issuer has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(c)            Any notice required to be given under this Section 1005 shall be delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 1006.       WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Senior Notes of such series, the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, may, with respect to the Senior Notes of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(17), Section 901(2) or Section 901(10) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in Section 1004 or Article Eight, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SENIOR NOTES

SECTION 1101.       APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE

Senior Notes of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Senior Notes of any series) in accordance with this Article Eleven.

SECTION 1102.       ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE

The election of the Issuer to redeem any Senior Notes shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Senior Notes. If the Issuer elects to redeem all or any portion of the Senior Notes of any series, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 days (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to holders but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the paragraph or subparagraph of such Senior Notes and/or Section of this Indenture or the applicable supplemental indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, the Redemption Date, the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed and any other information specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Senior Notes. In the case of any redemption of Senior Notes (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Senior Notes or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Issuer which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Senior Notes, the Issuer shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

Any notice of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more restrictions or conditions, including completion of any financing or other corporate transaction.

SECTION 1103.       SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SENIOR NOTES TO BE REDEEMED

If the Senior Notes are registered in the name of only one Holder, any partial redemptions shall be pro rata; provided that, in the case of any such Holder which is a Depositary or a nominee thereof, nothing in this sentence shall affect the right of such Depositary to select for redemption the positions held by its participants in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of such Depositary. If the Senior Notes are held in definitive form by more than one Holder and if less than all the Senior Notes of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Senior Notes to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Senior Notes of such series not previously called for redemption, pro rata, by lot or by such other method in accordance with the applicable Depositary’s policies and procedures and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Senior Notes of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Senior Notes of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Senior Notes of that series.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Senior Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Senior Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

If any Senior Note selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Senior Note so selected, the converted portion of such Senior Note shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Senior Notes which have been converted during a selection of securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Senior Notes shall relate, in the case of any Senior Notes redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Senior Notes which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 1104.       NOTICE OF REDEMPTION

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail (or in the case of Senior Notes held in book-entry form, by electronic transmission), postage prepaid, mailed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date (or within such period as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Senior Notes of a series), to each Holder of Senior Notes to be redeemed, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(1)            the Redemption Date;

(2)            the Redemption Price (or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof);

(3)            if less than all the Outstanding Senior Notes of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Senior Notes to be redeemed;

(4)            that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Senior Note to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date;

(5)            the place or places where such Senior Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

(6)            for any Senior Notes that by their terms may be converted, the terms of conversion, the date on which the right to convert the Senior Note to be redeemed will terminate and the place or places where such Senior Notes may be surrendered for conversion;

(7)            that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case;

(8)            if applicable, any restrictions or conditions to such redemption; and

(9)            if applicable, the CUSIP numbers of the Senior Notes of such series; provided, however, that no representation will be made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, or any similar number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Senior Notes.

Notice of redemption of Senior Notes to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request (which may be rescinded or revoked at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given such notice to the Holders), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Senior Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Senior Notes.

SECTION 1105.       DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE

Except as otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 301, by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date or the Senior Notes of the series provide otherwise) on, all the Senior Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.
