SECTION 2.3. Acceleration of Maturity.

Section 4.2 of the Original Indenture is amended by adding the following paragraphs as the second and third paragraphs thereof:

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the extent elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 9.9 shall, for the first 120 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive special interest (“Special Interest”) on the Notes at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Notes. Such Special Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date on which such Special Interest began to accrue on the Notes. Special Interest shall accrue on all Outstanding Notes from and including the date on which an Event of Default relating to a failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.9 shall first occur to but not including the 120^th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived). On such 120^th day (or earlier, if the Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 9.9 shall be cured or waived prior to such 120^th day), such Special Interest shall cease to accrue and, if the Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 9.9 shall not have been cured or waived prior to such 120^th day, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in this Section 4.2. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect the rights of holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company shall not elect to pay Special Interest upon an Event of Default resulting from the failure of the Company to comply with the provisions of Section 9.9, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided above in this Section 4.2.

If the Company shall elect to pay Special Interest in connection with an Event of Default relating to its failure to comply with the requirements of Section 9.9, (1) the Company shall notify all Holders and the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election in writing on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default shall first occur, and (2) all references herein to interest accrued or payable as of any date shall include any Special Interest accrued or payable as of such date as provided in this Section 4.2.

SECTION 2.4. Force Majeure.

Article XIII of the Original Indenture is amended by adding the following Section 13.15 thereto:

SECTION 13.15 Force Majeure.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

SECTION 2.5. Waiver of Jury Trial.

Article XIII of the Original Indenture is amended by adding the following Section 13.16 thereto:

SECTION 13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal amount of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, except that (i) in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company, the principal amount of the Securities will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice, (ii) in the case of an Event of Default which relates to certain payment defaults or acceleration with respect to certain Debt, any acceleration of the Securities will be automatically rescinded if any such Debt is repaid or if the default relating to such Debt is cured or waived and if the holders thereof have accelerated such Debt then such holders have rescinded their declaration of acceleration and (iii) in the case of an Event of Default which relates to certain defaults in timely filing reports and documents under the Exchange Act, the Company may elect to pay Special Interest as the sole remedy for such Event of Default during the first 120 days after the occurrence thereof.

No Holder may pursue any remedy under the Indenture unless the Trustee shall have failed to act after notice of an Event of Default and written request by Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, and the offer to the Trustee of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; however, such provision does not affect the right to xxx for enforcement of any overdue payment on a Security by the Holder thereof. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing default (except default in payment of principal, premium or interest) if it determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders. The Company is required to file annual reports with the Trustee as to the absence or existence of defaults.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (i) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Security and (ii) certain restrictive covenants and the related Defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of Definitive Securities and to make certain other specified changes and other changes that do not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect.

A-5

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

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

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

A director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company shall not have any personal liability under this Security or the Indenture by reason of his or its status as such director, officer, employee or stockholder. Each Holder, by accepting this Security, waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of this Security.

Prior to the time of due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to the Company, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 00000.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities as a convenience to the Holders thereof. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the Securities and reliance may be placed only on the other identifying information printed hereon.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.
