If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 110.

(iii) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 108, the party hereto that sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Company or the Trustee, whichever such party is not setting a record date pursuant to this Section 108(e) in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 110, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 108, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.

In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

Where this Supplemental 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 impossible to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 115. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

ARTICLE III

THE NOTES

Section 301. Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered and Outstanding under this Supplemental Indenture is not limited. The Initial Notes will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million. All the Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters as one class, and none of the Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any matter. Additional Notes will vote (or consent) as a class with the other Notes and otherwise be treated as Notes for all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture.

The Notes shall be known and designated as the “6.375% Senior Notes Due 2032” of the Company. The final Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be July 15, 2032. Interest on the Outstanding principal amount of Notes will accrue at the rate of 6.375% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2025, to holders of record on the immediately preceding January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a Business Day), respectively (each such January 1 or July 1, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date; and interest on any Additional Notes will accrue (or will be deemed to have accrued) from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid on such Additional

-31-

Notes, from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Additional Notes, or if the date of issuance of such Additional Notes is an Interest Payment Date, from such date of issuance; provided, that if any Note is surrendered for exchange on or after a record date for an Interest Payment Date that will occur on or after the date of such exchange, interest on the Note received in exchange thereof will accrue from the date of such Interest Payment Date.

The principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, on the Notes shall be payable, and the Notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which initially shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (which, for the avoidance of doubt, need not be located in Manhattan)) (the “Place of Payment”); provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest on a Note may be made by check mailed to the address of the Holder entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Note Register; provided, further, however, Notes represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name or held by DTC or its nominee shall be made in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures.

Section 302. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000.

Section 303. Execution, Authentication and Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one Officer of the Company. The signature of any such Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time a proper Officer of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such office at the date of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500.0 million and (ii) Additional Notes in one or more series from time to time for original issue in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Company upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of the Company (an “Authentication Order”). Such Officer’s Certificate shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes and such other information as the Company may include or the Trustee may reasonably request.

All Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.

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

Section 304. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at

-32-

the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall execute and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Supplemental Indenture as definitive Notes of the same series and tenor.

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.

Upon surrender for transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, in compliance with all applicable requirements of this Supplemental Indenture and applicable law, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

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

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Supplemental Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

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

No service charge shall be made for any registration, transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, transfer or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption (or purchase) of Notes selected for redemption (or purchase) under Section 1004 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Note so selected for redemption (or purchase) in whole or in part.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company

-33-

shall execute and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

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

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

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 306 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Supplemental Indenture equally and ratably with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

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

Section 307. Payment of Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest specified in Section 301.

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

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (1). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall

-34-

be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

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

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

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Section 307) interest on, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 309. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, exchange or conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 309, except as expressly permitted by this Supplemental Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order of the Company.

Section 310. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 311. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee may use the CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

Section 312. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

(a) Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear a legend as set forth in Section 203. Neither the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, nor any other agent of the Company shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee and any agent of any of them as the absolute

-35-

owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee or any agent of any of them from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Note. The registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.

(b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) The transfer and exchange of a Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) The Company, any other obligor upon the Notes or the Trustee, in the discretion of any of them, may treat as the Act of a Holder any instrument or writing of any Person that is identified by the Depositary as the owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Note, provided that the fact and date of the execution of such instrument or writing is proved in accordance with Section 108(b).

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain such 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 Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office as the initial Place of Payment and appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands so long as such Corporate Trust Office remains the Place of Payment.

Section 403. Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any of the Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

-36-

If the Company is not acting as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

If the Company is not acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company will cause any Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that, subject to the provisions of this Section 403, such Paying Agent will:

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Section 404. [Reserved].

Section 405. Reports to Holders.

(a) Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by the Exchange Act, the Company will file with the Commission, and provide to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of

-37-

the Exchange Act within the time periods required; provided, however, that availability of the foregoing materials on the Commission’s XXXXX service shall be deemed to satisfy the delivery obligations hereunder. In the event that the Company is not permitted to file such reports, documents and information with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company will nevertheless provide such Exchange Act information to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes as if the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the time periods required by law. The Company will be deemed to have satisfied such reporting requirements if Holdings files and provides reports, documents and information of the types otherwise so required, in each case within the applicable time periods, and the Company is not required to file such reports, documents and information separately under the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission (after giving effect to any exemptive relief) because of the filings by Holdings.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, the Company will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations under clause (a) of this Section 405 for purposes of Section 601(3) until 90 days after the date any report hereunder is due.

(c) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 405 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Section 406. Statement as to Default. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officer’s Certificate, to the effect that to the best knowledge of the signer thereof the Company is or is not in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which such signer may have knowledge. To the extent required by the TIA, each Guarantor shall comply with TIA § 314(a)(4). The individual signing any certificate given by any Person pursuant to this Section 406 shall be the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of such Person, in compliance with TIA § 314(a)(4).

Section 407. Limitation on Liens.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of the Domestic Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens to secure any Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any such Subsidiaries, against or upon any property or assets of the Company or any of the Domestic Subsidiaries (including Capital Stock of any other Person), whether now owned on the date of this Supplemental Indenture or hereafter acquired, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom to secure such Indebtedness unless:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or a Guarantee, the Notes or such Guarantee is secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and

(2) in all other cases, the Notes are equally and ratably secured,

except for:

(A) Liens in favor of the Company or any Guarantor;

-38-

(B) Liens securing Refinancing Indebtedness which is incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness) which has been secured by a Lien permitted under this Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that such Liens:

(I) are materially no less favorable to Holders of the Notes, taken as a whole, and are materially not more favorable, taken as a whole, to the lienholders with respect to such Liens than the Liens in respect of the Indebtedness being Refinanced; and

(II) do not extend to or cover any type of property or assets (plus improvements, accessions, proceeds or dividends or distributions in respect thereof) of the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries not securing the Indebtedness so Refinanced; and

Section 408. Issuance of Future Guarantees.

If, on or after the Issue Date, the Company forms or acquires any Significant Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) that incurs or guarantees payment by the Company of any Bank Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Existing Notes, or if, on or after the Issue Date, any Significant Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) that is not a Guarantor incurs or guarantees payment by the Company of any Bank Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Existing Notes, then the Company shall cause such Significant Domestic Subsidiary or Significant Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be, to:

(1) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to the Indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Significant Domestic Subsidiary or Significant Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be, shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms set forth in the Indenture; and

(2) execute and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which may contain customary exceptions) that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Significant Domestic Subsidiary or Significant Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be, and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Significant Domestic Subsidiary or Significant Domestic Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, as the case may be.

Thereafter, such Significant Domestic Subsidiary or Significant Domestic Subsidiary that was not a Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of the Indenture. The Company may cause any other Subsidiary of the Company to issue a Subsidiary Guarantee and become a Guarantor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Ratings Event on or after the Issue Date, the Company will no longer be required to cause any other Subsidiary of the Company to issue a Subsidiary Guarantee or become a Guarantor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes provided by a Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally be released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and be of no further force or effect:

-39-

(1) at any time that such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from all of its obligations under all of its guarantees of payment by the Company of the relevant Indebtedness that gave rise to the need to provide a guarantee of the Notes;

(2) if (a) all of the Capital Stock of, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold or otherwise disposed of (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person other than the Company or any of its Significant Domestic Subsidiaries or (b) such Guarantor ceases to be a Significant Domestic Subsidiary or a Subsidiary;

(3) upon the Company’s request if the Fair Market Value of the assets of the applicable Guarantor (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company), together with the Fair Market Value of the assets of other Guarantors whose Subsidiary Guarantee was released in the same calendar year in reliance on this paragraph (3), do not exceed $50.0 million (subject to cumulative carryover for amounts not used in any prior calendar year);

(4) concurrently with any sale or disposition (by merger or otherwise) of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any interest therein in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture (including Section 501) by the Company or a Subsidiary, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company;

(5) upon legal or covenant defeasance of the Company’s obligations, or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture;

(6) upon the occurrence of a Ratings Event; or

(7) subject to customary contingent reinstatement provisions, upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding and all other applicable Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing.

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee will execute and deliver any instrument evidencing such release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. A Guarantor may also be released from its obligation under its Subsidiary Guarantee in connection with amendments permitted in accordance with the provisions of Article IX of this Supplemental Indenture. The Trustee shall only be obligated to deliver any such instrument upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating that such release is authorized and in compliance with the Indenture.

Section 409. Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of purchase. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will not be obligated to repurchase the Notes under this covenant if it has exercised its right to redeem all the Notes under the terms of Section 1001.

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurs, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer, to each Holder to the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC. Such notice shall state, among other things,

-40-

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 409 and that all Notes tendered and not withdrawn will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Xxxxxx is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased;

(7) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; and

(8) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control.

On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent, in accordance with Section 401, U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued interest, if any, of all Notes so tendered and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the monies specified in clause (ii) above and a copy of the Officer’s Certificate specified in clause (iii) above, the Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued interest, if any, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. Any Notes not so accepted shall be promptly mailed by the Company to the Holder thereof. For purposes of this Section 409, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Supplemental Indenture, a Change of Control Offer by the Company or a third party may be made in advance of a Change of Control and conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

-41-

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making the Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 15 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption set forth in such notice, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Any amounts remaining after the purchase of all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be returned by the Trustee to the Company.

The Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 409, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 409 by virtue thereof.

Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will not be obligated to repurchase the Notes under this Section 409 if it has exercised its right to redeem the Notes under Section 1001.

Section 410. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Domestic Subsidiary to, engage in any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless:

(a) the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien pursuant to Section 407 equal in amount to the net proceeds of the property sold or transferred or to be sold or to be transferred pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and secured by a Lien on the property to be leased, without equally and ratably securing the Notes outstanding under the Indenture as provided under Section 407; or

(b) the Company or a Domestic Subsidiary shall apply, within 360 days before or after the effective date of such sale or transfer, an amount equal to such net proceeds to (i) the acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities, equipment or assets which are, or upon such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, (x) a Principal Facility or Principal Facilities or a part thereof or (y) otherwise constitute assets useful in the business of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (including the acquisition of assets or equity interests of another Person or a division of such Person) or (ii) the redemption of the Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture or to the repayment or redemption of Funded Debt of the Company or of any Subsidiary or Indebtedness of the Company or of any Subsidiary that was Funded Debt at the time it was created, or in part to such acquisition, construction, development or improvement and in part to such redemption and/or repayment. In lieu of applying an amount equal to such net proceeds to such repayment or redemption, the Company may, within 360 days after such sale or transfer, deliver to the appropriate indenture trustee or other applicable Person Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture or the Funded Debt for cancellation and thereby reduce the amount to be applied to the redemption of such Notes or Funded Debt by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of Notes or Funded Debt.

(d) No Guarantor (other than any Guarantor whose Guarantee is to be released in accordance with the terms of the Guarantee and this Supplemental Indenture) will, and the Company will not cause or permit any Guarantor to, consummate a Division as the Dividing Person (whether or not the Company or such Guarantor is the surviving Person), consolidate with or merge with or into any Person (other than the Company or any other Guarantor), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and the Subsidiaries) whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person unless:

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIES

Section 601. Events of Default.

An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(1) the failure to pay interest on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(2) the failure to pay the principal on the Notes when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer);

(3) a default by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture which default continues

-44-

for a period of 60 days after the Company receives written notice specifying the default from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Article V, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

(4) a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or of any Subsidiary (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Subsidiary), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if either (a) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation to pay principal (other than an obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity) and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity (a “Payment Default”); or (b) such default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity (and such acceleration is not rescinded, or such Indebtedness is not repaid, within 20 Business Days), and, in each case, as to subclause (a) above and this subclause (b), the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, exceeds $300.0 million or more at any time;

(5) the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (A) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (B) commences a voluntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to itself, (C) consents to the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, (D) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for substantially all of its property, (E) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it, (F) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (G) takes any corporate action to authorize or effect any of the foregoing;

(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a judgment, decree or order for relief in respect of the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, which shall (A) approve as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition in respect of the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, (B) appoint a Custodian of the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or for substantially all of any of their property or (C) order the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs; and such judgment, decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days;

(7) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $300.0 million not covered by adequate insurance (other than self-insurance) shall have been rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 405 of this Supplemental Indenture) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 90 days after such judgment or judgments become final and nonappealable; or

(8) any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary of the Company ceases to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantee of such a Significant Subsidiary is declared to be null and void and

-45-

unenforceable or any Guarantee of such a Significant Subsidiary is found to be invalid or any Guarantor which is a Significant Subsidiary denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of such Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture).

The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, give to the Holders notice of such Default; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Section 602. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 601) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee, if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Events of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 601 occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except non-payment of principal or interest on the Notes that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, if interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal on the Notes, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances and any other sums owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture; and

(v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clauses (5) and (6) of Section 601, the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 603. Other Remedies; Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but is not obligated under this Section 603 to pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of this Supplemental Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 601(5) or 601(6) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 707.

-46-

Section 604. 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 and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 707.

No provision of this Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 605. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 606. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 707;

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

Third: To the Company.

Section 607. Limitation on Suits. No Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes unless:

(i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(ii) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy;

-47-

(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee has not complied with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request within such 60-day period.

A Holder may not use this Supplemental Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder, to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder or to enforce any right under this Supplemental Indenture except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all Holders.

Section 608. Unconditional Right of Holders To Receive Principal and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Supplemental Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of and all (subject to Section 307) interest on such Note on the respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates expressed in such Note and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 609. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Supplemental Indenture or any Note 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 the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 610. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 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 611. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. 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.

Section 612. Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that

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

-48-

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

However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Supplemental Indenture or, subject to Section 701, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action. This Section 612 shall be in lieu of § 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA, and such § 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.

Section 613. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default

(1) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note (which may only be waived with the consent of each Holder of Notes affected), or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 902 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note 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 Supplemental Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In case of any such waiver, the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This paragraph of this Section 613 shall be in lieu of § 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such § 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.

Section 614. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Supplemental Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by such Xxxxxx’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant. This Section 614 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates expressed in such Note.

Section 615. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other similar law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Notes contemplated herein or in

-49-

the Notes or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Supplemental Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE VII

THE TRUSTEE

Section 701. Certain Duties and Responsibilities

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Supplemental Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Supplemental Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Supplemental Indenture, but need not verify the contents thereof.

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

(c) No provision of this Supplemental Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of Section 701(a); (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 612.

(d) No provision of this Supplemental Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur 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 to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Supplemental Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 701 and 703 hereof.

the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 703. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 701:

(1) the Trustee may 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, 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 party or parties;

(9) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;

(10) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining pertinent facts;

(11) unless otherwise specifically provided in this Supplemental Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer.

(12) the right of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Supplemental Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

Section 704. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Notes or the proceeds thereof.

Section 705. May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Section 708 and Section 713, may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other agent.

Section 706. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

Section 707. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees,

(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(2) and the Guarantors agree, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Supplemental Indenture (including costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notice to Holders, and the reasonable compensation, fees and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel retained by the Trustee in connection with the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel or otherwise, in addition to such compensation for its services), except

-52-

any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Trustee shall provide the Company reasonable notice of any expenditure not in the ordinary course of business; provided, that prior approval by the Company of any such expenditure shall not be a requirement for the making of such expenditure nor for the reimbursement by the Company therefore; and

(3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense, including attorneys’ fees, incurred without negligence or bad faith on the Trustee’s part, arising out of or in connection with the administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent.

The payment obligations of the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to this Section 707 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and any discharge of this Supplemental Indenture including any discharge under any Bankruptcy Law. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 601(5) or 601(6), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

Section 708. Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, the Trustee shall eliminate such interest, apply to the Commission for permission to continue as Trustee with such conflict or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the TIA and this Supplemental Indenture. To the extent permitted by the TIA, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to Initial Notes and Additional Notes, or a trustee under any other indenture between the Company and the Trustee.

Section 709. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the TIA to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 709 and to the extent permitted by the TIA, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 709, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VII.

Section 710. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article VII shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 711.

The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 711 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

-53-

If at any time:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 708 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 709 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (A) the Company may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 614, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 711. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 711, become the successor Trustee and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 711, then, subject to Section 614, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 110. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 711. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to above.

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

-54-

Section 712. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation or any other organization or entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or any other organization or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or any other organization or entity succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or any other organization or entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 713. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the TIA regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor) or realizing on certain property received by it in respect of such claims.

Section 714. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Supplemental Indenture to authentication (or execution of a certificate of authentication) by the Trustee includes authentication (or execution of a certificate of authentication) by such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Note Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

TRUSTEE AND THE COMPANY

Section 801. The Company To Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list, if any, furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 801 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar; provided, however, that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Note Registrar, the Note Register shall satisfy the requirements relating to such list. None of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee or any other Person shall be under any responsibility with regard to the accuracy of such list. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 801 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

-55-

The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Supplemental Indenture or under the Notes, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the TIA.

Section 803. Reports by Trustee. The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Supplemental Indenture as may be required pursuant to the TIA at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

The Company and any Guarantors (when authorized by Board Resolutions), and the Trustee, together, may amend or supplement this Supplemental Indenture without notice to or consent of any Holder:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, so long as such changes do not adversely affect the rights of any Holders in any material respect;

Section 902. With Consent of Holders.

The Company and any Guarantors (when authorized by Board Resolutions) and the Trustee, together, with the written consent of the Holder or Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, may amend or supplement this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes and any Guarantees without notice to any other Holders. The Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes without notice to any other Holder (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 409). Without the consent of each Holder affected, however, no amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 613, may:

(1) reduce the principal amount of the Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantees;

(2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes;

(3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the Stated Maturity of any Notes; or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption, or reduce the redemption price therefor;

(6) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions described herein.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 902 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 902 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

-57-

Section 903. Execution of Amendments, Supplements or Waivers. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and that, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws now or hereinafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally and the general principles of equity (including standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness), whether considered in a proceeding at law or at equity, such amendment, supplement or waiver is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

In connection with any amendment, modification, waiver or release to be executed by the Trustee, the Company will deliver to such Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, stating that such amendment, modification, waiver or release is permitted under this Supplemental Indenture and that all conditions precedent under this Supplemental Indenture relating thereto have been complied with, and such other documentation as is required by this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 904. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or any Note that evidences all or any part of the same debt as the consenting Xxxxxx’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Subject to the following paragraph of this Section 904, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Note by written notice to the Trustee or the Company, received by the Trustee or the Company, as the case may be, before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company 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 as set forth in Section 108.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Notes, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (6) of the first paragraph of Section 902. In that case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of such Note or any Note that evidences all or any part of the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.

Section 905. Conformity with TIA. Every amendment or supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect.

Section 906. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee shall (if required by the Company and in accordance with the specific direction of the Company) request such Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee shall (if required by the Company and in accordance with the specific direction of the Company) place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date on a pro rata basis, or on nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of DTC), although no Note of $2,000 in original principal amount or less will be redeemed in part.

-60-

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

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

Section 1005. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption or purchase as provided in Section 1001 shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed, at such Xxxxxx’s address appearing in the Note Register.

Any such notice shall state:

(1) the expected Redemption Date,

(2) the redemption price,

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

(4) that, on the Redemption Date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Note, and that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date, and

(5) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

In addition, if such redemption, purchase or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, as permitted by Section 1001, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.

The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and the performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Notice of such redemption or purchase of Notes to be so redeemed or purchased at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request (made to the Trustee at least 40 days (or such shorter period as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date), by the Trustee in the name and at the several expense of the Company.

The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

-61-

Section 1006. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 403) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 1007. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in this Article X, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price herein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price or the Paying Agent is prohibited from paying the redemption price pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Notes for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Notes shall be paid by the Company at the redemption price. Installments of interest whose Interest Payment Date is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

On and after any Redemption Date, if money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and any accrued and unpaid interest on Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with Section 1006, the Notes (or the portions thereof) called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes (or portions thereof) will be to receive payment of the redemption price of and subject to the last sentence of the preceding paragraph, any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes (or portions thereof) to the Redemption Date. If any Note (or portion thereof) called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Note (or portion thereof).

Section 1008. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.

Section 1009. Mandatory Redemption. The Company is not required to make scheduled mandatory redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(a) The Company may, at its option and at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) below applied to the Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in paragraph (d).

(b) Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been released and discharged from their obligations with respect to the Outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company

-62-

shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of the sections and matters under the Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and the Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned, except for the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of the Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (ii) the Company’s obligations to issue temporary Notes, register the transfer or exchange of any Notes, replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and maintain an office or agency for payments in respect of the Notes, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (iv) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Company and any Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 601(3), nor shall any event referred to in Section 601(4) or (6) thereafter constitute a Default or an Event of Default thereunder but, except as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

(d) The following shall be the conditions to application of either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) above to the Outstanding Notes:

(1) The Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holder pursuant to an irrevocable trust and security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of Independent public accountants selected by the Company, expressed in a written certification thereof (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) delivered to the Trustee, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Outstanding Notes on the dates on which any such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and of the Notes;

(2) Such deposits shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in and for purposes of the TIA;

(3) The Trustee shall have received Officer’s Certificates stating that no Default or Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Section 601(5) or (6) is concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

-63-

(4) The Trustee shall have received Officer’s Certificates stating that such deposit will not result in a Default under the Indenture or a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(5) (i) In the event the Company elects paragraph (b) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and the defeasance contemplated hereby and will be subject to federal income taxes on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred, or (ii) in the event the Company elects paragraph (c) hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, confirming that beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and the defeasance contemplated hereby and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

(6) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, stating that as a result of the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, neither the Trustee nor the trust have become or are deemed to have become an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, stating that the deposit under clause (1) was not made by the Company, a Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company, a Guarantor, or any Subsidiary of the Company or others;

(8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

(9) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section 1101 have been complied with; provided, however, that no deposit under clause (1) above shall be effective to terminate the obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture prior to 90 days following any such deposit; and

(10) The Company shall have paid all amounts owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by paragraph (5) above need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable on the maturity date for the securities within one year, or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

-64-

In the event all or any portion of the Notes are to be redeemed through such irrevocable trust, the Company must make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the giving of the notice of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

Section 1102. Satisfaction and Discharge.

In addition to the Company’s rights under Section 1101, the Company may terminate all of its obligations under the Indenture as to all Outstanding Notes (subject to Section 1103) when

(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 of the Base Indenture and the Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid) have (i) become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; and

Nothing contained in this Article XI shall abrogate any of the rights, obligations or duties of the Trustee under the Indenture.

-65-

Section 1104. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee.

Subject to Section 1107, after (i) the conditions of Section 1101 or 1102 have been satisfied, (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and stating that all conditions precedent referred to in clause (i) above relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in Section 1103.

Section 1105. Application of Trust Assets. The Trustee shall hold any U.S. Legal Tender or Government Securities deposited with it in the irrevocable trust established pursuant to Sections 1101 and 1102. The Trustee shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender or the Government Securities, together with earnings thereon, through the Paying Agent, in accordance with the Indenture and the terms of the irrevocable trust agreement established pursuant to Sections 1101 and 1102, to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes. The U.S. Legal Tender or Government Securities so held in trust and deposited with the Trustee in compliance with Section 1101 shall not be part of the trust estate under this Supplemental Indenture, but shall constitute a separate trust fund for the benefit of all Holders entitled thereto.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee and its agents against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 1101 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of outstanding Notes.

Section 1106. Repayment to the Company or Guarantors; Unclaimed Money.

Subject to Section 1101 of this Supplemental Indenture and Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture and to applicable laws relating to escheat, the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company, or if deposited with the Trustee by any Guarantor, to such Guarantor, upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, any excess money, determined in accordance with Section 1101, held by it at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, of an Officer’s Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, any money held by it for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after payment to the Holders is required; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Paying Agent before being required to make any payment may, but need not, at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein (which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication and shall be at least two years after the date such money held by the Trustee for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed), any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, Holders entitled to such money must look solely to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease.

Section 1107. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with the Indenture by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of

-66-

any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then and only then the Company’s and each Guarantor’s, if any, obligations under the Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had been made pursuant to the Indenture until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with the Indenture; provided, however, that if the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE XIII

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 1301. Guarantees Generally.

(a) Parent Guarantees. Parent, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, hereby irrevocably, absolutely and fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantees (the “Parent Guarantee,” and Parent in such capacity, the “Parent Guarantor”), on an unsecured senior basis, the punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all monetary obligations of the Company under this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, whether for principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by each Parent Guarantor being herein called the “Parent Guaranteed Obligations”).

(b) Guarantee of Each Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, will jointly and severally, irrevocably, absolutely and fully and unconditionally guarantee, on an unsecured senior basis, the punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all monetary obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes, whether for principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantors being herein called the “Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations”, together with the Parent Guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Note Obligations”). Such Subsidiary Guarantor will agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount, as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law, or being void or unenforceable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors.

(i) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company or any other Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent

-67-

by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a notation concerning its Guarantee is made on any particular Note, or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

(ii) Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that (except as otherwise provided in Section 408) its Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Supplemental Indenture and this Guarantee. Such Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, subject to this Article X, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed by its Guarantee may be accelerated as and to the extent provided in Article VI for the purposes of such Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed by such Guarantee, and (2) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Section 1301 for the purpose of such Guarantee. Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Guaranteed Note Obligations or against the Company or any other Person or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their obligations under their respective Guarantees or under this Supplemental Indenture.

(iii) Until terminated in accordance with Section 408, each Guarantee will remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company 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 Company’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 Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on such Notes, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

(d) Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall have the right to seek contribution from the Company or any non-paying Guarantor that has also Guaranteed the relevant Guaranteed Note Obligations in respect of which such payment or distribution is made, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees.

(e) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Supplemental Indenture and that its Guarantee, and the waiver set forth in Section 1305 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(f) Each Guarantor, pursuant to its Guarantee, also hereby agrees to pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under its Guarantee.

-68-

Section 1302. Continuing Guarantees.

(a) Each Guarantee shall be a continuing Guarantee and will (i) subject to Section 408, remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the principal amount of all Outstanding Notes (whether by payment at maturity, purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition) and all other Parent Guaranteed Obligations of the Parent Guarantor and Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor then due and owing, (ii) be binding upon such Guarantor and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the Holders and their permitted successors, transferees and assigns.

(b) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced or terminated the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and under its Guarantee (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of a Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 1303. [Reserved].

Section 1304. [Reserved].

Section 1305. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture or such Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee and this Supplemental Indenture, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, until this Supplemental Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 1306. Notation Not Required. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge thereof.

Section 1307. Successors and Assigns of Guarantors. All covenants and agreements in this Supplemental Indenture by each Guarantor shall bind its respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

Section 1308. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantees. The Company shall cause each Subsidiary that is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 408, and each Subsidiary of the Company that the Company causes to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 408, to promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a Supplemental Indenture substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Supplemental Indenture, or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, evidencing its Subsidiary Guarantee on substantially the terms set forth in this Article XIII. Concurrently therewith, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that such Supplemental Indenture has been

-69-

duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and that, subject to the applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws now or hereafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally and the general principles of equity (including standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness), whether considered in a proceeding at law or at equity, such Supplemental Indenture is a valid and binding agreement of such Subsidiary, enforceable against such Subsidiary in accordance with its terms.

Section 1309. Notices. Notice to any Guarantor shall be sufficient if addressed to such Guarantor care of the Company at the address, place and manner provided in Section 109.

The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. Any such notice may be given prior to the completion of the related Equity Offering, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent including the completion of the related Equity Offering.

The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Note Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Xxxxxx’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000.00 and any integral multiple of $1,000.00.

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

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration or transfer, the Company, any other obligor in respect of this Note, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, such other obligor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and none of the Company, any other obligor upon this Note, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder, as such, of the Company, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of any thereof shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company, or any Guarantor under the Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantee, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, any such obligation or its creation. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, hereby waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.
