Section 3.01.     Form.  The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities as Series A Notes, and the Series A Notes and Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, the terms of which are incorporated in and made a part of this Supplemental Indenture, and the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. The Series A Notes constituting Transfer Restricted Securities will be resold initially only to (a) Qualified Institutional Buyers (as such term is defined in Section 144A of the Securities Act) (“QIBs”) in reliance on Rule 144A of the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and (b) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as defined under Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) (“U.S. Persons”) in reliance on Regulation S.  Thereafter, the Series A Notes may be transferred to, among others, QIBs and Persons other than U.S. Persons in reliance upon Regulation S.  Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer contemplated thereby, the Series A Notes constituting Transfer Restricted Securities will be exchanged by the Holders for Series B Notes to be issued by the Issuer in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof. 

3

The Series B Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities, and the Series B Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

Section 3.02.     Issuance of Additional Notes.  The Issuer may, from time to time, issue an unlimited amount of additional Series A Notes (“Additional Notes”) under the Indenture, which shall be issued in the same form as the Series A Notes issued on the Issue Date and which shall have identical terms as the Series A Notes issued on the Issue Date other than with respect to the issue date, issue price and date of first payment of interest.  The Series A Notes issued on the Issue Date shall be limited in aggregate principal amount to $400,000,000.  The Series A Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes subsequently issued, together with any Series B Notes issued in exchange therefor pursuant to an Exchange Offer, shall be treated as a single series for purposes of giving of notices, consents, waivers, amendments and taking any other action permitted under the Indenture and for purposes of interest accrual and redemptions.

Section 3.03.     Transfer of Transfer Restricted Securities.

(a)           When Notes are presented to the Registrar with the request to register the transfer of such Notes or exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange in accordance with Article II of the Original Indenture. In addition, in the case of Series A Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities, such request to register the transfer or make the exchange shall be accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable, upon which the Registrar may conclusively rely:

(1)         if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto; or

(2)         if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being transferred (i) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144 (and based upon an opinion of counsel if the Issuer or the Trustee so requests) or (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, a certification to that effect from such Holder in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto; or

(3)         if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being transferred to Persons other than U.S. Persons in reliance on Regulation S, a certification to that effect from such Holder in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto; or

(4)         if such Transfer Restricted Securities are being transferred in reliance on another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (and based upon an opinion of counsel if the Issuer or the Trustee so requests), a certification to that effect from such Holder in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.

(b)           Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global Security) pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act:

4

(1)           in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security that is in the form of a definitive Note, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a definitive Note that does not bear the legend set forth in Section 3.04(a) below and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security; and

(2)           in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global Security, such Transfer Restricted Security shall not be required to bear the legend set forth in Section 3.04(a) below if all other interests in such Global Security have been or are concurrently being sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon consummation of an Exchange Offer, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.05 of the Original Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate Series B Notes in exchange for Series A Notes accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer, which Series B Notes shall not bear the legend set forth in Section 3.04(a) below, and the Registrar shall rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Notes, in each case unless the Holder of such Series A Notes is either (A) a Person participating in the distribution of the Series A Notes or (B) a Person who is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Issuer.  The Issuer shall identify to the Trustee such Holders of the Notes in a written certification signed by an officer of the Issuer and, absent certification from the Issuer to such effect, the Trustee shall assume that there are no such Holders.  In addition, at such time as beneficial interests in Transfer Restricted Securities are Freely Tradable (based upon an opinion of counsel if the Issuer or the Trustee so requests), the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Original Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities that do not bear the legend set forth in Section 3.04(a) below in exchange for each outstanding Global Security that is a Transfer Restricted Security in the appropriate principal amount.  Simultaneously with the authentication of such Global Security, the Trustee shall cancel the corresponding Global Securities that bore the legend set forth in Section 3.04(a) below.

(c)           Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security in definitive form initially resold to Persons other than U.S. Persons in reliance upon Regulation S pursuant to (i) Regulation S following 40 consecutive days beginning on and including the later of the day on which such Transfer Restricted Security was offered to Persons other than “distributors” (as such term is defined in Regulation S) and the date of the closing of the original offering, or (ii) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a definitive Note that does not bear the legend referred to in Section 3.04(b) below and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security.

Section 3.04.     Restrictive Legends.

(a)          Except as provided in Section 3.03 hereof, prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, each security certificate evidencing the Notes shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

4.             Indenture.  The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May 27, 2003 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 3, 2008 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and the Trustee.  The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb).  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.  To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.  The Notes are the obligation of the Issuer, initially in aggregate principal amount of $400 million.  The Issuer may issue an unlimited aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes under the Indenture.  Any such Additional Notes that are actually issued shall be treated as issued and outstanding Notes (and as the same series (with identical terms other than with respect to the issue date, issue price and first payment of interest) as the initial Note for the purposes indicated in Section 3.02 of the Supplemental Indenture).  Initially, the Notes are not guaranteed, but in the future they may be guaranteed by one or more Subsidiary Guarantors on the conditions and subject to the terms provided in Section 4.14 of the Indenture and Article XIV of the Original Indenture.

5.             Optional Redemption.  (a) At its option, the Issuer may choose to redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or from time to time.

(b)           To redeem the Notes, the Issuer must pay a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and

A-4

unpaid interest, if any, including Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).  The actual redemption price will be calculated and certified to the Trustee and the Partnership by the Independent Investment Banker.

For purposes of determining the redemption price, the following definitions shall apply:

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, for any Redemption Date, (1) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

“Independent Investment Banker” means Banc of America Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., as specified by the Partnership, and any successor firm, or if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Partnership.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of Banc of America Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., plus two other dealers selected by the Trustee that are primary U.S. government securities dealers in New York City and their respective successors; provided, if any of Banc of America Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. or any primary U.S. government securities dealer selected by the Trustee shall cease to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer, then such other primary U.S. government securities dealers as may be substituted by the Trustee.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, for each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining

A-5

term of the Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week in which the calculation date falls (or in the immediately preceding week if the calculation date falls on any day prior to the usual publication date for such release) or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date. Any weekly average yields calculated by interpolation or extrapolation will be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1%, with any figure of 1/200th of 1% or above being rounded upward.

6.             Mandatory Redemption.  The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes or to repurchase them at the option of the Holders.

7.             Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.  Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  On and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and with respect to which the redemption price has been paid.

8.             Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.  The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes or other governmental charges imposed in relation thereto.

9.             Persons Deemed Owners.  The registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

10.           Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.  Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.  Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented for any of the purposes set forth in Section 9.01 of the Indenture, including to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation of the Issuer or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets, to add or release Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights under the Indenture of any Holder of the Notes, to comply with the requirements of the SEC to permit the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of

A-6

appointment under the Indenture of a successor or separate Trustee, to add to the covenants of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, to secure the Notes or the Guarantee or to establish the form or terms of any other series of Debt Securities.

11.           Defaults and Remedies.  Events of Default with respect to the Notes include:  (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, including any Additional Interest with respect to, the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor for 60 days after notice to comply with any of its other covenants or agreements in the Indenture relating to the Notes; (iv) default by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries in the payment at the Stated Maturity, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt then outstanding having a principal amount in excess of the greater of $25 million and 2% of total partners’ capital in the Partnership, or acceleration of any Debt having a principal amount in excess of the greater of such amounts so that it becomes due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity and such acceleration is not rescinded within 30 days after notice; (v) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be null and void or shall cease to be in full force and effect or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under the Indenture or its Guarantee; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Issuer or, if and so long as the Notes are guaranteed by a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor.  If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all Outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice.  Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.  If and so long as the Trustee in good faith so determines, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interests.  The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes.  The Partnership is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Partnership is required within 30 days after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default and certain additional information.

12.           Trustee Dealings with Issuer.  The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

13.           No Recourse Against Others.  The General Partner and its directors, officers, employees, incorporators, members and stockholders, as such, shall have no liability for any

A-7

obligations of the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

14.           Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

15.           Abbreviations.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as:  TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

16.           CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and corresponding ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP and corresponding ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.  No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

17.           Additional Rights of Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities.  In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, including the right to receive Additional Interest as set forth therein.

The Issuer shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:
