The Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the Officers of the Issuer executing the same may determine, as evidenced by their execution thereof.

(b) The Securities of each series shall bear interest, if any, from the date, and such interest and shall be payable on the dates, established as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof.

(c) The Person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is registered at the close of business on any record date applicable to a particular series with respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Registered Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date. The term “record date” as used with respect to any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Securities of any series shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Registered Securities of such series established as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof, or, if no such date is so established, the 15th day next preceding such interest payment date, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

Section 2.05 Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration, registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar will keep a register of the Registered Securities and the Holders thereof and of the Registered Securities’ registration, transfer and exchange (the “Security Register”). The Issuer may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. The Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar, or agent for service of notices and demands; provided that neither the Issuer, any Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them shall act as Paying Agent in connection with the defeasance of the Securities or the discharge of this Indenture under Article VIII hereof. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent and agent for service of notices and demands.

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture and the TIA that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent and any change in the name or address of an Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands, the Trustee shall act as such Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands for so long as such failure shall continue. The Issuer may remove any Agent upon written notice to such Agent and the Trustee; provided that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced by an appropriate agency agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this proviso.

(b) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Registered Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(c) The Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may treat the bearer of any Unregistered Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes, whether or not such Unregistered Security or coupon be overdue, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 2.06 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent (i) will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal,

premium or interest on the Securities and (ii) will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) will have no further liability for the money so paid over. If Parent, the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Securities.

Section 2.07 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

Section 2.08 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary global Unregistered Securities) and coupons (except for coupons attached to any temporary global Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable by delivery.

(b) At the option of the Holder thereof,

(i) Registered Securities of any series (other than a Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series and like tenor, of any authorized denominations and like aggregate principal amount and maturity, upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the Registrar in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided;

(ii) if the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the Registrar in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided;

(iii) if Unregistered Securities of any series, maturity date, interest rate and issue date are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the Registrar in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Issuer shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided.

Registered Securities of any series may not be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a series at the Registrar in accordance with Section 2.05 hereof and upon payment (if so required by the Issuer) of the charges hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and maturity.

(d) All Registered Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(e) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a Security for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.11 and 3.08 hereof).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(g) Registered Global Securities may be exchanged by the Issuer for Registered Securities of such series in definitive form if:

(i) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

(ii) the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Registered Global Securities (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Registered Securities in definitive form and delivers an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Trustee; or

(iii) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of the applicable series.

(h) If established by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof with respect to any Registered Global Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for Registered Securities of the same series in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver, without service charge:

(i) to each Person specified by such Depositary, new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Registered Global Security; and

(ii) to such Depositary, a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (i) above.

(i) Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its Participant or Indirect Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. The Registered Global Security exchanged shall be canceled by the Trustee.

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

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the forms or terms of any Securities to the contrary, none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if the Issuer has determined that such exchange would result in adverse federal income tax consequences to the Issuer (such as, for example, the inability of the Issuer to deduct from its income, as computed for federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United States federal income tax laws. The Trustee and any such agent shall be entitled to rely on an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in determining such result.

(l) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required (i) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Securities for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (ii) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Securities selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Securities being redeemed in part or (iii) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Registered Security between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

Section 2.09 Replacement Securities.

(a) If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, will authenticate, in exchange for such mutilated Security or in exchange for the Security to which a mutilated coupon appertains, a replacement Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated Security or to the Security to which such mutilated coupon appertains.

(b) If the Trustee or the Issuer receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, will authenticate, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a replacement Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.

(c) An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuer may charge such Holder for its expenses and the expenses of the Trustee in replacing a Security. In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacing a Security.

(d) Every replacement Security of any series, with its coupons, if any, is an additional obligation of the Issuer and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Securities of the same series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.10 Outstanding Securities.

(a) The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds such Security; provided, however, that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any other obligor of the Securities or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor.

(b) If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless and until the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

(c) If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

(d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) holds on a maturity date money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

Section 2.11 Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities of any series. Temporary Securities of any series shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities of such series but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Securities of such series, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Securities. If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

Section 2.12 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation Securities of any series previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation Securities of any series previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee Securities of any series surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedure. The Issuer shall not issue new Securities of any series to replace Securities of such series it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers for the Securities.

Section 2.14 Series May Include Tranches. A series of Securities may include one or more tranches (each a “tranche”) of Securities, including Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The Securities of different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication dates and offering prices, but all the Securities within each such tranche shall have identical terms, including authentication date and offering price. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, with respect to Sections 2.02 (other than clauses (c) and (g) thereof) through 2.04, 2.08, 2.09, 2.13, 3.01 through 3.08, 4.02, 6.01 through 6.14, 8.01 through 8.03, 8.06, 10.01, 10.02 and 11.01 through 11.04, hereof, if any series of Securities includes more than one tranche, all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as though originally designated a series unless otherwise provided with respect to such series or tranche pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof. In particular, and without limiting the scope of the next preceding sentence, any of the provisions of such sections which provide for or permit action to be taken with respect to a series of Securities shall also be deemed to provide for and permit such action to be taken instead only with respect to Securities of one or more tranches within that series (and such provisions shall be deemed satisfied thereby), even if no comparable action is taken with respect to Securities in the remaining tranches of that series.

Section 2.15 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay, the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) interest on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A special record date, as used in this Section 2.15 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article III shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 hereof for Securities of such series.

Section 3.02 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Securities of any series are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Securities of such series to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Securities are listed, or if such Securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from the Securities of the applicable series not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security of a series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Securities may be redeemed in principal amounts equal to authorized denominations for Securities of such series; except that if all of the Securities of a series of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Securities of such series held by such Holder may be redeemed, even if not in the authorized denominations for such Security. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities of a series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of a series called for redemption.

If a Security of any series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount of such Security that is to be redeemed. A new Security of the applicable series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Securities of such series upon cancellation of the original Securities. Securities called for redemption become due on the Redemption Date. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of them called for redemption unless the Issuer defaults in making the applicable redemption payment.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

(a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail or delivered electronically, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed or delivered electronically more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to a series of Securities. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

(b) The notice will identify the Securities to be redeemed and will state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) if Securities of any series are being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Securities, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Securities;

(iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(v) that Securities called for redemption together with coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, if any, must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

(vi) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date upon surrender of the Securities to the Paying Agent;

(vii) the paragraph of the Securities and/or section of the Officer’s Certificate or indenture supplemental hereto pursuant to which the Securities are issued pursuant to which the Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(viii) that, if any Security contains a “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number as provided in Section 2.13 hereof, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number either as printed on the Security or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Security.

(c) At the Issuer’s request (which request may be revoked by the Issuer at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given such notice to the Holders), made in writing to the Trustee at least 60 days (or such shorter period as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before a Redemption Date, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. If, however, the Issuer gives such notice to the Holders, the Issuer shall concurrently deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such notice has been given.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender of any Securities to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price, plus accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.05 hereof) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest to but excluding the Redemption Date on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 3.06 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given in the manner provided above, the Securities or portion of Securities specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to such Redemption Date, and on and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the Redemption Price and accrued interest to but excluding the Redemption Date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed in the Securities), such Securities shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Security for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Security shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price; provided that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record date.

If any Security with coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and is not accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Issuer and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless.

Section 3.07 Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security of any series that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Security or Securities of such series (with any unmatured coupons attached), of authorized denominations, equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

Section 3.08 Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds.

(a) The provisions of this Section shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified in the Officer’s Certificate or indenture supplemental hereto for such Securities. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “Optional Sinking Fund Payment.” The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “Sinking Fund Payment Date.” If provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in clause (b) below. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

(b) The Issuer (i) may deliver outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted Optional Sinking Fund Payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

(c) Not less than 60 days prior to each Sinking Fund Payment Date for any Securities, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to clause (b) above and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such Sinking Fund Payment Date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such Sinking Fund Payment Date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 hereof and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer in the manner provided in Section 3.03 hereof. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03 hereof.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03, the covenants contained in this Article IV shall be applicable to the Securities of any series.

If the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them acts as Paying Agent, an installment of principal, premium, if any, or interest shall be considered paid on the due date if the entity acting as Paying Agent complies with Section 2.06 hereof.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal of and premium, if any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate per annum specified in the Securities.

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Securities of any series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of a series and this Indenture and an indenture supplement hereto 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. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 12.02 hereof.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of any series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations.

Section 6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01 hereof shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series then outstanding, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any such series that are outstanding may declare all Securities of such series outstanding to be due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any such series then outstanding may, by notice to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of any such series, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Securities of any such series.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.10 and 12.02 hereof, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series affected (voting as a single class) by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of such series as specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; provided, however, that such waiver shall not extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series affected (voting as a single class) that are then outstanding may 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 Securities of such series; provided that the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction; provided further that the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Securities of such series pursuant to this Section 6.05.

Section 6.06 Limitations on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or other remedy, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of any series, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of such affected series then outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent the request.

For purposes of this Section 6.06 and Section 6.08 hereof, the Trustee shall comply with TIA § 316(a) in making any determination of whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities of such affected series then outstanding have concurred in any request or direction of the Trustee to pursue any remedy available to the Trustee or the Holders with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series or otherwise under the law.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder.

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of Securities of any series to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Security on or after the respective due dates expressed on such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer, a Guarantor or any other obligor of the affected Securities for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in such Securities, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer or any Affiliate of any of them, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Securities or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each 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 to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to empower 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 Securities 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.

Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI in respect of the Securities of any series, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee for all amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof with respect to such series of Securities;

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

Third: to the Issuer, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Issuer, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. 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, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the Securities of such affected series then outstanding.

Section 6.12 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then, and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities in Section 2.09, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders 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 6.14 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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. Every right and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01 General. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the TIA and as set forth herein. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need only perform those duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Securities, and no implied duties shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not herein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article VII.

Section 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to TIA §§ 315(a) through (d):

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document;

(c) the Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care;

(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture;

(f) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

(g) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer personally or by agent or attorney at the expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

(h) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it thereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the series of the Securities affected and this Indenture; and

(j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, co-trustee, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Guarantor or any Affiliates of the Issuer or any Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to TIA §§ 310(b) and 311.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Securities, (ii) shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use or application of the proceeds from the Securities and (iii) shall not be responsible for any statement in the Note Guarantees or the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will mail or deliver electronically to Holders of the Securities of such series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA § 313(c). Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, Securities of any series, the Trustee may and shall be protected in withholding the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities of such series.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each calendar year following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Securities of any series remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail or deliver electronically to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the 12 months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b), and transmit by mail or deliver electronically all reports in the manner required by TIA § 313(c). A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which any Securities are listed, with the Commission and with the Issuer.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee and each Paying Agent such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its services. The compensation of the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee and each Paying Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and advances incurred or made by the Trustee and each Paying Agent. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s or such Paying Agent’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall indemnify the Trustee, its agents and officers, and each Agent against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, judgments, actions, claims, suits, proceedings, such reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind whatsoever which may be incurred by the Trustee, its agents and officers, or such Agent arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and Note Guarantees; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, obligation, damage, penalty, judgment, action, suit, proceeding, reasonable cost or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) of any kind whatsoever which may be incurred by the Trustee or such Agent, as the case may be, in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such indemnified party is designated a party to such proceeding) in which and to the extent that it is determined that the Trustee, its agents and officers, or any Agent acted with negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee and each Agent shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim of which the Responsible Officer of the Trustee or an officer of such Agent has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or any Agent to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer and the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder, unless the Issuer and the Guarantors are materially prejudiced thereby. The Issuer or such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee and such Agent, as the case may be, shall cooperate in the defense. Unless otherwise set forth herein, the Trustee or any Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without the Issuer’s consent.

(c) To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or any Paying Agent, in its capacity as Trustee or Paying Agent, except money or property held in trust by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Securities.

(d) If the Trustee or Paying Agent incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof, the expenses and the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in Section 7.09.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Issuer. The Issuer may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by Company Order given at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed removal.

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed with respect to the Securities of any series, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office with respect to the Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.08 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Issuer), the Issuer or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(d) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer, immediately after the delivery of such written acceptance, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07 hereof, (i) the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder. The retiring Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any action or inaction of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.11 hereof, any Holder who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any affected series and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) The Issuer shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

(g) Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligation under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) 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 Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) 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 Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (iii) 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 will become effective to the extent provided therein, and each successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

Section 7.10 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If a Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, trust company or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein.

Section 7.11 Eligibility. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee (together with its parent) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Section 7.12 Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under Article VIII and Article X of this Indenture.

For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of such series (including any Note Guarantees of such Securities), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities, Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such series to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Article II and Section 4.02 hereof;

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in connection therewith; and

(d) this Article VIII.

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under Sections 4.03 and 4.05 hereof with respect to the outstanding Securities of the applicable series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such series will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that Securities of such series will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of the applicable series and the Note Guarantees of such Securities, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, the Securities of such series and the Note Guarantees of such Securities will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(c) hereof will not constitute an Event of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

(a) In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

(i) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the applicable series, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the then outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated Maturity thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Securities of such series are being defeased to such Stated Maturity or to a particular Redemption Date;

(ii) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (or Opinions of Counsel) confirming that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of issuance of the Securities of the applicable series, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel (or Opinions of Counsel) shall confirm that, the Holders of the Securities of such series that are then outstanding will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(iii) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (or Opinions of Counsel) confirming that the Holders of the then outstanding Securities of the applicable series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit or liens securing such borrowing) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound;

(v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(vi) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of Securities of the applicable series over the other creditors of the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or others; and

(vii) the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, have been complied with.

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Securities of any series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of such series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)(i) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall, subject to applicable escheat law, be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities with respect to the Securities of any series in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Indenture, the Securities of such series and the Note Guarantees of such Securities will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 9.01 Note Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article IX, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security of a series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities of such series or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities of such series will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Securities of such series, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to such Holder or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of Securities of such series or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, 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 Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities of any series and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid to either the Trustee or such Holder, the applicable Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will 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, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the applicable Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will 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 Guarantee.

(e) Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, 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 Securities of the applicable series are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on such Securities or the Note Guarantees of such series, 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 Securities of the applicable series 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.

(f) In case any provision of any Note 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.

(g) The Note Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general unsecured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any.

(h) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note 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 Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, 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 Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 9.03 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 9.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Securities of a series, the Note Guarantee of such Securities will be valid nevertheless.

Upon execution by a new Guarantor of an indenture supplemental hereto substantially in the form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor set forth in this Indenture shall be deemed duly delivered, without any further action by any Person, on behalf of such Guarantor.

The delivery of any Security of a series by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture or any supplemental indenture on behalf of the Guarantors who are signatories thereto.

Section 9.04 Releases. The Note Guarantees of a Guarantor (other than Parent) will be released:

(a) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Guarantor;

(b) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all of the Capital Stock of that Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Guarantor;

(c) upon the release or discharge of such Guarantor’s guarantee of the Credit Agreement or under the Debt that triggered such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee;

(d) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall occur as a result thereof or has occurred and is continuing; or

(e) upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as provided in Article VIII hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided in Article X hereof.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantees as provided in this Section 9.04 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Securities of the applicable series and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture for the applicable series as provided in this Article IX.

ARTICLE X

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 10.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Securities of any series issued hereunder, when:

(a) either:

(i) all Securities of such series that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities of such series that have been replaced or paid and Securities of such series for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) all Securities of such series that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Securities of such series not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the Stated Maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such

deposit or liens securing such borrowing) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound;

(c) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and

(d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable written instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities of such series at Stated Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a)(ii) of this Section 10.01, the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and Section 10.02 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 10.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 10.02 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; provided that such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Indenture and the applicable Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE XI

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

Section 11.01 Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 11.02 hereof, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities or the Note Guarantees of any such series without notice to or the consent of any Holder to:

(a) cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

(b) provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;

(c) provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Issuer or a Guarantor to Holders of such Securities and the Note Guarantees of such Securities in the case of a merger or consolidation or a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(d) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of such Securities or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder;

(e) comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(f) conform the text of this Indenture, the Securities of any series or the Note Guarantees of any series to any provision of a description of such Securities in the prospectus or prospectus supplement or other document relating to the offering of such Securities to the extent that such provision in such description was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series;

(g) add a Guarantor or release any Guarantor from its Note Guarantee if such release is in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(h) provide for the issuance of additional Securities in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture.

Section 11.02 With Consent of Holders.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 11.01 and 11.02(b) hereof, this Indenture, the Securities of any series and the Note Guarantees of any series of Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of such series then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities of any applicable series), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Securities of any series or the Note Guarantees of any series of Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities of any applicable series).

(b) Without the consent of each Holder of a series of Securities affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof, may not:

(i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Security of such series;

(ii) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of such series;

(iii) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of such series;

(iv) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Security of such series;

(v) reduce the percentage or principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series, the consent of whose Holders is necessary to modify or amend this Indenture with respect to such series or waive compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or waive certain Defaults with respect to such series;

(vi) waive a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security of such series; or

(vii) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except as set forth under Article IX hereof;

(c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 11.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Issuer will mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

Section 11.03 Revocation and Effect of Consent. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of such Security or portion of such Security that evidences the same Debt as the Security of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on such Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of its Security. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the applicable series.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of the applicable series at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those Persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of the applicable series unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.02(b) hereof. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 11.02(b) hereof, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security of the applicable series that evidences the same indebtedness as the Security of the consenting Holder.

Section 11.04 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security of the same series thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security of the same series that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 11.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article XI is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign such amendment, supplement or waiver if the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 11.06 Conformity with TIA. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article XI shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect.

ARTICLE XII

The Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee, by notice to the others may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

All notices or communications to a Holder shall be deemed to have been given upon the mailing by first class mail, postage prepaid, of such notices to Holders at their registered addresses as recorded in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed in the Security for the giving of such notice. Copies of any such communication or notice to a Holder shall also be mailed to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. Except for a notice to the Trustee, which is deemed given only when received, and except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, if a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided in this Section 12.02, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

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

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. All communication delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed effective when actually received by the Trustee.

Neither the failure to give any notice to a particular Holder, nor any defect in any notice given to any particular Holder, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice given to another Holder.

Section 12.03 Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, if the Trustee so requests:

(a) an Officer’s Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

(b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

Section 12.04 Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

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

The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, premium or interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
