(a) General. The Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, upon a written order of the Company (other than as provided in Section 2.08 hereof), the Notes of each series as shall be established by or pursuant to one or more Officer’s Certificates or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto as provided in Section 2.03 hereof. The Notes of each series and the Authenticating Agent’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or such other form or forms that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof), in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture setting forth the terms of such series of Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date of original issuance thereof or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Unless otherwise provided in respect of a series of Notes, the Notes shall be issued initially in minimum denominations of $200,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $200,000.

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or such other form or forms that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof), including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” (or similarly titled equivalent) attached thereto. Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (or such other form or forms that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof), but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” (or similarly titled equivalent) attached thereto. Each Global Note in respect of a series of Notes shall represent such of the outstanding Notes of such series as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” (or similarly titled equivalent) attached thereto and each shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount of Notes of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as applicable, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note in respect of a series of Notes to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series represented thereby shall be made by the Registrar in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.07 hereof.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication.

(a) One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual, electronic or facsimile signature.

(b) If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(c) A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Authenticating Agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

(d) The Authenticating Agent shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue.

(e) The Company may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Trustee to authenticate Notes (the “Authenticating Agent”). Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, the Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent. The Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Company hereby initially appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as Authenticating Agent and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas hereby accepts such appointment.

(f) If, in connection with a Periodic Offering, all Notes of a series are not to be initially issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01 or any other documents (other than the Notes and the Authentication Order required pursuant to Section 2.02(d)) at or prior to the authentication of each Note of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon initial issuance of the first Note of such series to be issued.

Section 2.03. Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

The Notes may be issued in one or more series, which may include one or more tranches, including Notes issued in a Periodic Offering. The Notes of each series issued hereunder shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and manner set forth in the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture for such series, to all Senior Indebtedness (as such term is defined in such Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture). In addition, there shall be established in or pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate or an indenture supplemental hereto, prior to the initial issuance of Notes of any series, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.03:

(a) the designation of the Notes of the series, which shall distinguish the Notes of the series from the Notes of all other series;

(b) if other than the form of the Notes in Exhibit A attached hereto, the form or forms of the Notes of such series;

(d) any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of the series that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and any limitation on the ability of the Company to increase such aggregate principal amount after the initial issuance of the Notes of that series (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, or upon redemption of, other Notes of the series pursuant hereto);

(e) the date or dates on which the principal of the Notes of the series is payable (which date or dates may be fixed or extendible);

(f) the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) per annum at which the Notes of the series shall bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, on which such interest shall be payable and on which a record shall be taken for the determination of Holders to whom interest is payable and/or the method by which such rate or rates or date or dates shall be determined;

(g) if other than as provided in Section 4.02, the place or places where the principal of and any interest on Notes of the series shall be payable, the place or places where the Notes may be surrendered for exchange, notices, demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes of the series and this Indenture may be served;

(i) the obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem, purchase or repay Notes of the series pursuant to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a Holder thereof and the price or prices at which and the period or periods within which and any of the terms and conditions upon which Notes of the series shall be redeemed, purchased or repaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation;

(j) if other than denominations of $200,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, the denominations in which Notes of the series shall be issuable;

All Notes of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided by the Company, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Notes of such series or to establish additional terms of such series of Notes.

Section 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment, or may appoint an agent for such purpose (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(b) Unless otherwise specified in respect of Notes of any series pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

(c) The Company initially appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas hereby initially agrees so to act.

Section 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (which by its execution of this Indenture hereby agrees) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent

Section 2.06. Holder Lists.

The Registrar shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Paying Agent is not the same entity as the Registrar, the Company shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Paying Agent, at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Paying Agent may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date or such shorter time as the Registrar may allow, as the Paying Agent may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

Holders may communicate pursuant to TIA Section 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Notes. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and any other Person shall have the protection of TIA Section 312(c).

Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.07, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor thereto or a nominee of such successor thereto. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Certificated Note of the same series unless (A) the Depositary (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days, (B) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent in writing that they elect to cause the issuance of the Notes in certificated form (provided that under current industry practices, the Depositary would notify participants of the Company’s determination, but would only withdraw beneficial interests from a Global Note at the request of participants) or (C) upon the request of a Holder if there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (A) above, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note of the same series or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.08 and 2.11 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note of the same series or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.07 or Sections 2.08 and 2.11 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, except for Certificated Notes issued subsequent to any of the preceding events in (A) or (B) above and pursuant to Section 2.07(c) hereof. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.07(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.07(b) or (c) hereof.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.07(b)(i).

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.07(b)(i) hereof, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant or Indirect Participant account to be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Certificated Note of the same series in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Certificated Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.07(g) hereof.

(c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Certificated Notes. If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Certificated Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Certificated Note, then, upon the occurrence of any of the events in subsection (A) of Section 2.07(a) hereof and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.07(b)(ii) hereof, the Registrar shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.07(g) hereof, and the Company shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and mail to the Person designated in the instructions a Certificated Note in the applicable principal amount. Any Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Registrar through instructions from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Registrar shall mail such Certificated Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered.

(d) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A Holder of a Certificated Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Certificated Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Registrar shall cancel the applicable Certificated Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes.

If any such exchange or transfer from a Certificated Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to this Section 2.07(d) above at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Certificated Notes so transferred.

(e) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Certificated Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Certificated Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.07(e), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Certificated Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Registrar the Certificated Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Certificated Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof. In addition, the requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, that the Registrar may reasonably request.

(f) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (with appropriate changes in the last sentence if DTC is not the Depositary) (the “Global Note Legend”):

“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE REGISTRAR MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.07(g) OF THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.07(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE REGISTRAR FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.12 OF THE INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUER. UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A

NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (00 XXXXX XXXXXX, XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX) (“DTC”) TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Certificated Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Registrar in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Certificated Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Registrar to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Registrar or by the Depositary at the direction of the Registrar to reflect such increase.

(h) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Certificated Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request.

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

(iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (a) any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (b) any Note for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem Notes or 15 days before an Interest Payment Date (whether or not an Interest Payment Date or other date determined for the payment of interest), and ending on such mailing date or Interest Payment Date, as the case may be.

(iv) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(v) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(i) No Obligation of the Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent.

(i) The Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note in global form shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(ii) The Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including without limitation any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.08. Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note of a series is surrendered to the Registrar or the Company and the Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note of a series, the Company shall issue and the Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note of such series if the Registrar’s requirements are met. If required by the Registrar or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Registrar and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note had become or is about to become due and payable, the Company, in its discretion, may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Every replacement Note of a series is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes of such series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies of any Holder with respect to the replacement or payment of a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note.

Section 2.09. Outstanding Notes.

(a) The Notes of a series outstanding at any time are all the Notes of such series authenticated by the Authenticating Agent except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Registrar in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 2.10 hereof.

(b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Registrar receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

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

(d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof) segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a date of redemption (a “Redemption Date”) or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes of a series payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.10. Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a series have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to such series, Notes of such series owned by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Notes of such series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all outstanding Notes, if any, known to the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept and rely upon such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth.

Section 2.11. Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes of a series are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes of such series. Such temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Certificated Notes of the relevant series but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes of such series and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Authenticating Agent. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate Certificated Notes of a series in exchange for temporary Notes of such series.

Holders of temporary Notes of any series shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.12. Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Registrar for cancellation. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Registrar any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Registrar, upon direction by the Company and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Company from time to time upon written request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Registrar for cancellation.

Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes of a series, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes of such series and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each such Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and Paying Agent 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 Section 2.13. The

Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such special record date. At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Paying Agent in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder for the relevant series of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note of the same series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note of such series.

Section 2.14. CUSIP or ISIN Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes of any series may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Company and Registrar, as applicable, shall use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes of such series or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes of such series, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify, in writing, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar of any change in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01. Applicability of Article.

If the Company elects to redeem any series of Notes pursuant to any optional or mandatory redemption provisions set forth in respect of any series of Notes, the provisions of this Article 3 will apply except as otherwise specified in respect of a series of Notes.

Section 3.02. Notices to Trustee.

The Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the applicable Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the section or paragraph number of the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture for such series pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes of the series to be redeemed, (iv) the redemption price, and (v) any conditions precedent applicable to the redemption of such Notes. If the Company elects to redeem any series of Notes pursuant to the provisions set forth in respect of any series of Notes, it shall furnish such Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the applicable Agent at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date unless a shorter notice shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the applicable Agent. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall, therefore, be void and of no effect.

Section 3.03. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes of any series are to be redeemed or purchased at any time, the Registrar and Paying Agent shall select the Notes of such series to be redeemed or purchased, (i) if the applicable Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the applicable Notes are listed, or (ii) if the applicable Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes of such series to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Registrar and Paying Agent from the outstanding Notes of such series not previously called for redemption.

The Paying Agent and Registrar shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes of a series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note of such series selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes of such series selected shall be in amounts of $200,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of such series of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture or the applicable Officer’s Certificate(s) or supplemental indenture(s) that apply to Notes of a series called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes of such series called for redemption.

Section 3.04. Notice of Redemption.

At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, or in the case of a Global Note, delivered in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes of a series to be redeemed (including the CUSIP or ISIN number) and shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the redemption price;

(c) if any Note of such series is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note of such series;

(d) any conditions precedent applicable to the redemption of such Notes;

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

(f) that Notes of such series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(g) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes of such series called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(h) the paragraph of the Notes of such series and section or paragraph number of the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Notes of such series called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes of such series.

At the Company’s request, the Registrar shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense, provided, however, that the Company gives the Registrar at least 3 Business Days prior notice of such request.

Section 3.05. Effect of Notice Upon Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof, Notes of a series called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price stated in the notice except that any redemption and notice thereof may, in the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. Subject to the foregoing, upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment Date). Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

Section 3.06. Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City Time on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions of Notes) of a series to be redeemed on that date. Upon written instructions of the Company, the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes of such series to be redeemed.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes of a series called for redemption, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date.

Section 3.07. Notes Redeemed in Part.

In the case of Certificated Notes, upon surrender of a Note of a series that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note of such series equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01. Events of Default.

Unless otherwise specified in respect of any series of Notes, each of the following is an “Event of Default” with respect to each series of Notes:

(a) a default in any payment of interest on the Notes of such series when due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(b) a default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on any Note of such series when due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon any mandatory or optional redemption or required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

(c) the failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with its other agreements contained in this Indenture applicable to the Notes of such series for 90 days after the Company or such Guarantor receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 33% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes of all series affected thereby;

(d) the Company:

(i) commences a voluntary case,

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian (which term includes the Viscount in Jersey) of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

(e) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a custodian (which term includes the Viscount in Jersey) of the Company, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company,

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; and

(f) any other Event of Default established pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof with respect to the Notes of such series.

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default with respect to a series of Notes whatever the reason for any such Event of Default for such series and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

However, a default under clause (c) above will not constitute an Event of Default with respect to a series of Notes until the Trustee notifies the Company or the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby notify the Company and the Trustee of the default and the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, does not cure such default within the time specified in clause (c) above after receipt of such notice.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of Notes, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes of all such series to be due and payable immediately (all such series voting together as a single class) by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (the “Acceleration Notice”), and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all 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 one or more series of Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series (voting as a single class) may rescind and cancel such declaration with respect to the Notes of such series and its consequences (i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, (ii) if all existing Events of Default with respect to such series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid, (iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee and the Agents their compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; and (v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 hereof, 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 impair any right consequent thereto.

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Discount Notes shall have been accelerated and declared or become due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Discount Notes shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Discount Notes.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to one or more series of Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such series or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes of the relevant series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected (voting as a single class) by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes of such series waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to such series and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes of such series (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the then outstanding Notes of such series may rescind an acceleration with respect to such series and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default in respect of the relevant series of Notes shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default in respect of such series arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected (voting as a single class) may 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 with respect to the Notes of such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holders of Notes of such series or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

A Holder of a Note of any series may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes of such series only if:

(a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes of such series offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

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

(e) within such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

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

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs with respect to a series of Notes and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest (or the Yield to Maturity, in the case of an Discount Note) remaining unpaid on the Notes of such series and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07) 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 shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained 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, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article with respect to a series of Notes, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, the Agents, their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee or Agents and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders for such series for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest (or the Yield to Maturity, in the case of an Discount Note), respectively; and

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 30 days before such record date, the Company shall deliver to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid. This Section 6.10 is subject at all times to the provisions set forth in Section 11.02

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a series.

(b) If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of the Notes of the applicable series, notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after the occurrence of a Default or 30 days after it is actually known to a Responsible Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note of any series (including payments pursuant to the redemption provisions of the Notes of such series), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders thereof.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holder.

Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the initial issuance date of Notes under this Indenture, and for so long as any series of Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).

The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company and the Guarantors shall reimburse the Trustee and the Agents promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by such party in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and Agents’ respective agents and counsel.

The Trustee shall notify the Company and the Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend, at the sole discretion of the Trustee, the claim and may cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company and the Guarantors need not pay for any settlement made without their consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Agents, as applicable, the satisfaction and discharge and the termination of this Indenture.

To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge and the termination of this Indenture.

In addition, and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

“Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

The Trustee may resign with respect to one or more series of Notes in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby (voting as a single class) may remove the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason with respect to any series of Notes, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all series affected thereby (voting as a single class) may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such series may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder of a Note of a series for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the relevant series of Notes. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Notes of such series. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such successor corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.

Subject to Section 7.10, any business entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA §310(b).

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee is subject to TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Unless otherwise provided in respect of a series of Notes, the Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes of any series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes of any series on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of such series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes of such series to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and Agents hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) the provisions of this Article 8 with respect to Legal Defeasance. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 4.05 hereof and in any supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate established with respect to the outstanding Notes of a series pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes of such series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes of such series shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes of such series, the Company 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 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes of such series shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof with respect to the Notes of a series, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(c) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default for such series.

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes of any series:

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(a) the Company must deposit with the Paying Agent, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in United States dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, to pay the principal amount at maturity of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes of such series on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and the applicable Agent an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America 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 date of this Indenture, 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, the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and the applicable Agent an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently with such incurrence and the grant of a lien to secure such indebtedness);

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any lien securing such borrowing) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and the applicable Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

(g) the Company shall have paid or duly provided for payment of all amounts then due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (b) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes of such series not therefor delivered to the Registrar for cancellation (A) have become due and payable or (B) will become due and payable on the maturity date or upon redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee and the applicable Agent for giving of notice of redemption by the Registrar with a copy to the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

Section 8.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

All cash and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Paying Agent (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Qualifying Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Qualifying Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Qualifying Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the Notes of such series of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Qualifying Trustee and Paying Agent, as applicable, against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes of such series.

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Paying Agent shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Qualifying Trustee and the applicable Agent (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06. Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes of any series when (i) either (a) all the Notes of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes of such series which have been replaced or paid and Notes of such series 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 Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation or (b) all Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year, whether at maturity or on a Redemption Date, pursuant to an irrevocable redemption notice, and the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Registrar and Paying Agent funds or U.S. Government Obligations in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Registrar and Paying Agent with a copy to the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; (ii) the Company has paid all other sums due and payable under this Indenture by the Company; and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee or Registrar and Paying Agent an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Section 8.07. Repayment to Company.

Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, 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 its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.08. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes of the relevant series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to

apply all such cash and securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note of a series following the reinstatement of its obligations with respect to such series, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the cash and securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 8.09. Survival.

The Trustee’s and Agents’ rights and obligations under this Article 8 shall survive termination of this Indenture or the resignation of the Trustee or such Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holder.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee and the applicable Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes of any series without the consent of any Holder of a Note of such series to:

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

(b) provide for the assumption by a successor entity of the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture;

(d) provide for Global Notes in addition to or in place of Certificated Notes (provided, however, that the Global Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the Global Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);

(e) provide for any Guarantees with respect to the Notes or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any Guarantee when such release, termination or discharge is permitted under this Indenture;

(f) add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of Notes of such series or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company;

(g) make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the form, authentication, transfer and legending of Notes of such series; provided, however, that (A) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in such Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (B) such amendment does not materially affect the rights of Holders to transfer such Notes;

(h) comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(i) conform any provision of this Indenture or the Notes of such series to the provisions of the offering document relating to such series of Notes;

(j) modify any provisions of this Indenture, which modifications apply solely to series of Notes not outstanding on the date of such supplemental indenture; or

(k) make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Notes of such series in any material respect.

Upon the request of the Company, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05 hereof, the Trustee and the Agents shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but neither the Trustee nor the Agents shall be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

A supplemental indenture or Officer’s Certificate which changes or eliminates any covenant or any provision of this Indenture which has been expressly included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Notes, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Notes of such series with respect to such covenant or provision, or which modifies terms with respect only to future series of Notes, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Notes of any other series and may be executed without the consent of such Holders of other series of Notes.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture, the Notes Guarantees and the Notes of any series may be amended or supplemented as it relates to such series with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of each series affected thereby (all such series voting as a single class) and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of such series, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes of such series may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of each series affected thereby (all such series voting as a single class).

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.05 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes of all series affected thereby 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 amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes of such series held by a non-consenting Holder):

(a) reduce the amount of Notes of such series whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note of such series beyond the maximum time period for any permitted deferral of interest or to increase the maximum time period for any such interest deferral or increase the maximum number of times the Company may defer such interest payment;

(d) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note of such series or change the scheduled date at which any Note of such series may be redeemed;

(e) make any Notes of such series payable in money other than that stated in such Notes;

(f) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due dates therefore or to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes; or

(g) make any change in the amendment provisions which require each Holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions.

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or with respect to any series of Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04. 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 such Holder and every subsequent Holder or portion thereof that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as

to its Note or portion thereof if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter shall bind every Holder for all series of Notes to which such amendment, supplement or waiver relates.

Section 9.05. Trustee and Agents to Sign Amendments.

The Trustee and Agents shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and Agents, as applicable. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and Agents shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, if any, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such amended or supplemental indenture complies with the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Note Guarantees.

Each Guarantor that executes this Indenture or a supplemental indenture agreeing to be bound hereby, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees on a subordinated unsecured basis, jointly and severally, to each Holder of the Notes of each series (or such series as specified in the applicable supplement) and to the Trustee, the Agents and their respective successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes of each such series when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes of each such series and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes of each such series (all such obligations set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes of any series or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder, the Trustee or Agents to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes of any series or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any obligation of the Company under the Indenture or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes of any series or any other agreement; or (d) except as set forth in Section 10.05, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder, the Trustee or Agents to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder, the Trustee or Agents upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Agents, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Agents or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

Section 10.02. Limitation on Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes of a series, each Holder of Notes of each such series, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor (a) not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee, and (b) not result in a distribution to shareholders not permitted under the applicable foreign or state law. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering the Note Guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. If following the date of this Indenture and notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02 to the contrary, any Guarantor incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be, under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States of America (a “Future Foreign Guarantor”) executes a Note Guarantee and the Company shall reasonably determine that the preceding limitations shall not adequately address the limitations on such Note Guarantee imposed by applicable law of the jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, as the case may be, of any such Future Foreign Guarantor then upon the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Company shall be entitled to amend such clauses or add such additional provisions (including any related modifications to a supplement to this Indenture or a Note Guarantee), as the case may be, in order for the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor to adequately address the limitations imposed by applicable law.

Section 10.03. Successors and Assigns.

This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor that executes this Indenture or a supplemental indenture agreeing to be bound hereby and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee, the Agents and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder, the Trustee or the Agents, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes of the relevant series shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 10.04. No Waiver.

Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee, the Agents or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee, the Agents and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

The Company will pay interest on this Note semi-annually in arrears on [•] and [•] of each year, commencing on [•], 20[•], or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”).

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including [•], 20[•]. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate borne by this Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on this Note to the Person who is the registered Holder of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if this Note is cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the Note Register of Holders, provided that (a) all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on, Notes represented by Global Notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof and (b) all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to Certificated Notes will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee or the Paying Agent may accept in its discretion). Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Company shall be entitled to issue additional Notes with respect to this series of Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The terms of the Notes of this series include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture setting forth the additional terms of this series of Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Indenture and the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The Notes of this series are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture and those other provisions forming a part thereof with respect to this series of Notes, the provisions of the Indenture and such other provisions with respect to this series shall govern and be controlling.

5. SUBORDINATION. The Notes are subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and manner set forth in the Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture for this series of Notes, to all Senior Indebtedness (as such term is defined in such Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture).

A-5

Notes of all series affected thereby may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes of such series to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all 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. Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes of this series or the Note Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of all affected series may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of the affected series (voting as a single class) by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes of such series waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the Indenture with respect to such series of Notes except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes of such series held by a non-consenting Holder. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required within 30 Business Days after becoming aware of any Default with respect to this series of Notes, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

[•]. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or Authentication Agent.

[•]. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OF THIS SERIES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES.

No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes of this series or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
