SECTION 2.04. Global Securities.

If any Securities of a series, in whole or in part, are issuable as one or more Global Securities, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(b), then, notwithstanding clause (9) of Section 2.03(b) and the provisions of Section 2.05, any such Global Security shall represent such of the Securities Outstanding as shall be specified therein or endorsed or notated by the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) thereon or on a schedule thereto, and any such Global Security may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Securities Outstanding from time to time specified therein or endorsed or notated by the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) thereon or on a schedule thereto and that the aggregate amount of Securities Outstanding represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect any exchanges, transfers, redemptions, repayments or other increases or decreases in the amount of Securities Outstanding represented thereby, which increase or decrease may be endorsed or notated on such Global Security or on a schedule thereto. Any endorsement or notation on a Global Security or on a schedule to a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Securities Outstanding represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Global Security or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.06 or Section 2.08.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06 and, if applicable, Section 2.08, the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) shall deliver and redeliver any Global Security in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified in such Global Security or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 2.06 or Section 2.08 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to an endorsement or notation on a schedule to or delivery or redelivery of a Global Security shall be in writing but need not be represented by a Company Order and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

The provisions of the last sentence of Section 2.02(a) shall apply to any Securities issuable as one or more Global Securities if such Global Security or Securities were never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) the Global Security or Securities together with written instructions (which need not be represented by a Company Order and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 2.02(a).

SECTION 2.05. Denominations; Record Date; Payment of Interest.

(a) The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(b). In the absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

(b) The term “record date” as used with respect to an interest payment date for any Security shall mean such day or days as shall be specified in such Security as contemplated by Section 2.03(b); or, if no such day or days are so specified, such term shall mean (1) for any Global Security, the close of business on the business day preceding such interest payment date or (2) for any Definitive Security, the fifteenth calendar day preceding such interest payment date, whether or not such record date is a business day.

12

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.03(b) with respect to any Securities of a series, the Person in whose name any Security is registered at the close of business on the record date for such interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Security upon any registration of transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such record date and prior to such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Securities are registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given to the extent and in the manner set forth in Section 16.04 by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of such Securities in default not less than 15 calendar days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than five calendar days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest, or in any other lawful manner acceptable to the Trustee.

(c) Unless otherwise specified by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03(b), the principal of and any premium, interest or other amounts due on any Securities of a series shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office or any other office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 4.02 in a Place of Payment for such Securities; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment with respect to such Securities may be made by wire transfer or by check mailed to the holders of the Securities entitled thereto at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register, and provided, further, that if such Securities are represented by one or more Global Securities, payment may be made pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary as in effect at such time.

SECTION 2.06. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating of Securities.

The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by one of its Authorized Officers and may, but need not be, attested by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the current or any future such officers. Any Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, shall be an Authorized Officer or other proper officer of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such officer. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, an Authorized Officer or other proper officer of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order, authenticate Securities executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for original issue and deliver such Securities to or upon order of the Company, all as set forth in or pursuant to such Company Order. In authenticating the Securities of a series and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02) shall be fully protected in relying on:

(i) The Board Resolution of the Company, Officer’s Certificate of the Company or indenture supplemental hereto establishing the terms and the form of such Securities pursuant to Section 2.03;

(ii) An Officer’s Certificate of the Company delivered in accordance with Section 16.05; and

13

(iii) One or more Opinions of Counsel, either addressed to the Trustee or permitting reliance by the Trustee, substantially to the following effect:

(A) the form of the Securities has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(B) either (i) the terms of the Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture or (ii) in the case of Securities subject to a Periodic Offering, when the terms of such Securities have been established pursuant to the procedures as may be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company or a Company Order, such terms will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(C) such Securities, when executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to the conditions specified in the Opinion of Counsel, will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms;

(D) all applicable laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been complied with; and

(E) the Guarantee of such Securities has been duly authorized by the Guarantor and, when the terms of such Securities subject to a Periodic Offering have been established pursuant to the procedures as may be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Company or a Company Order, and when such Securities have been executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to the conditions specified in the Opinion of Counsel, the Guarantee of such Securities will be the valid and legally binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Such Opinion or Opinions of Counsel may be subject to or qualified by the operation or effect of certain laws and equitable principles and the conditions, limitations and exceptions as set forth in such Opinion or Opinions of Counsel.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by its counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, board of trustees or executive committee shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing holders.

With respect to any Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the documents required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Section must be delivered only once at or prior to the first request of the Company for authentication and delivery of the Securities of such series. Such documents delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Section may include appropriate modifications to the information otherwise required to be set forth in such document to account for the nature of such Periodic Offering, if applicable. Further, with respect to any Company Order relating to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, (a) such Company Order may be delivered to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the Trustee of such Securities for authentication and delivery, (b) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities for original issue from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the

14

aggregate principal amount, if any, established for such series, pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by a Company Order, (c) the terms of such Securities shall be established as contemplated by Section 2.03 pursuant to a Company Order or pursuant to such procedures, and (d) if provided for in such procedures, such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the documents delivered pursuant to this Section in connection with the first request of the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series unless and until such documents have been superseded or revoked. In connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the Company’s instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities do not violate any rules, regulations or orders of any governmental agency or commission having jurisdiction over the Company.

Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b) hereof, each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication or the date of original issue of such Security (except as otherwise provided by Board Resolution of the Company, Officer’s Certificate of the Company or indenture supplemental hereto).

SECTION 2.07. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Securities.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or such other office or agency to be designated in accordance with Section 4.02, a register (the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and transfers of Securities as provided in this Indenture. The Trustee hereby is appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as provided in this Indenture; provided that the Company may, pursuant to Section 2.03(b), designate and appoint a different entity, including an affiliate of the Company, to act as “Security Registrar” for purposes of any series of Securities or particular Securities of a series. The Security Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. If the Trustee does not act as Security Registrar with respect to any series of Securities or particular Securities of a series, the Company shall ensure that at all reasonable times the Security Register for such series or such Securities shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at such office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 4.02 for such purpose in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities representing such Security so presented of any authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount and having like form, tenor and payment and other terms, and the Security Registrar shall register the same on the Security Register.

(b) At the option of the holder, Definitive Securities may be exchanged for other Definitive Securities having like tenor and payment and other terms of any authorized denominations and of an equal aggregate principal amount. Definitive Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at any such office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 4.02 for such purpose in a Place of Payment, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Definitive Security or Securities that the holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, and the Security Registrar shall register the same on the Security Register.

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

15

Each Security presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or payment, as the case may be, shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) duly executed, by the holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for the registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith, other than exchanges pursuant to the terms of this Indenture not involving any transfer.

If any Securities are to be redeemed in part, neither the Company nor the Security Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any such Securities to be redeemed for a period of 15 calendar days before the date fixed for redemption for such Securities, or (2) to exchange or register the transfer of any Security so selected, called or being called for redemption, except, in the case of any such Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so redeemed.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(b), Definitive Securities shall be issued to all holders of interests in a Global Security in exchange for such interests only if (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or otherwise authorized under applicable law or regulation, and, in either case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 calendar days after receiving such notice or becoming aware of the foregoing; (b) the Company, in its sole discretion, elects to issue Definitive Securities; or (c) after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security. If the holders of interests in a Global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for Definitive Securities in the circumstances described in this Section 2.07(d) or as specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(b), then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) Definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the holder’s interests in such Global Security executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, in accordance with instructions given by the Company to the Trustee or the Depositary, as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing), such Global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the Depositary or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, or to the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee), to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for Definitive Securities without charge to the holder, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in accordance with such instructions, in exchange for each portion of such Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of Definitive Securities of authorized denominations; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur for a period of 15 calendar days next preceding any selection of any such Securities for redemption. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such Global Security should be returned by the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) to the Depositary or such other depositary referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Definitive Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any record date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant interest payment date, or (ii) any special record date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of defaulted interest as provided in Section 2.05, interest or defaulted interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such interest payment date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Security, but will be payable on such interest payment date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

16

(e) The Trustee 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 Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) 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. Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall, upon Company Order, authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Securities (typewritten, printed, lithographed or otherwise produced). Such temporary Securities, in any authorized denominations, shall be substantially in the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and otherwise in the form and having the terms approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Company with such omissions, insertions, substitutions and other variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company, but not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture or any provision of applicable law.

If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities in lieu of which such temporary Securities were initially issued upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 4.02 in a Place of Payment for such Securities for the purpose of exchanges, without charge to the holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor, payment and other terms and aggregate principal amount.

Each temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities.

SECTION 2.09. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor, form, payment and other terms and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously used or in use for any other Security issued hereunder.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall, subject to the following paragraph, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor, form, and payment and other terms and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously used or in use for any other Security issued hereunder.

17

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

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

Each new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other such Securities duly issued hereunder.

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

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer or for credit against any sinking fund payment, as the case may be, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section except as expressly provided by this Indenture. Any cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary procedures for the disposition of cancelled securities, and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company and the Guarantor.

SECTION 2.11. Book-Entry Only System.

If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03(b) with respect to Securities represented by a Global Security, any Securities may be issued initially in book-entry only form and, if issued in such form, shall be represented by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary, or its nominee, designated with respect thereto. So long as such system of registration is in effect, (a) such Securities so issued in book-entry only form will not be issuable in the form of or exchangeable for Definitive Securities except as provided in Section 2.07(d), (b) the records of the Depositary or such other depositary will be determinative for all purposes and (c) neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any Paying Agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent for such Securities will have any responsibility or liability for (i) any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of owners of beneficial interests in such Securities, (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests, (iii) receipt of notices, voting and requesting or directing the Trustee to take, or not to take, or consenting to, certain actions hereunder, or (iv) the records and procedures of the Depositary.

SECTION 2.12. Security Identification Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP number, ISIN and other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP number, ISIN and other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any changes in the CUSIP number, ISIN and other similar numbers.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES; REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

SECTION 3.01. Redemption of Securities; Applicability of Section.

Redemption of the Securities of a series as permitted or required by the terms thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities as specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b) hereof and the applicable provisions of this Article Three; provided, however, that if any provision of any such Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article Three, the provision of such Securities shall govern. In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities of a series pursuant to this Section, it shall fix a date for redemption in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of such Securities and notify the Trustee of the same at least 45 calendar days before such date for redemption, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee.

For purposes of this Article Three, the terms “Securities of a series” and any similar terms shall mean Securities having identical terms, except as to issue date, principal amount and, if applicable, the date from which interest begins to accrue.

SECTION 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Securities.

Notice of redemption of Securities of a series to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company, or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 16.04. The Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall give such notice of redemption at least 10 business days and not more than 60 calendar days prior to the date fixed for redemption (or within such period as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(b)) to the holders of such Securities to be redeemed, as a whole or in part. Notice given in such manner shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the holder of any such Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of a series. If the Company requests the Trustee to give any notice of redemption, it shall make such request at least ten calendar days prior to the designated date for delivering such notice, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee.

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(b), each such notice of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including applicable CUSIP numbers, ISINs or other similar numbers, if applicable) and also shall specify (a) the date fixed for redemption, (b) the redemption price (or, if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof) at which such Securities are to be redeemed, (c) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the principal amounts (and, in the case of Definitive Securities, the certificate numbers) of such Securities to be

19

redeemed, (d) the Place of Payment where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, and (e) that interest (if any) accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice, and that on and after the date fixed for redemption, interest (if any) thereon or on the portions of such Securities of the series to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Securities of a series are to be redeemed in part, on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Securities, such Securities will be cancelled and a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued and delivered without charge to the holder, or, if applicable, the decrease in the amount of Securities Outstanding represented by a Global Security will be endorsed or notated thereon or on a schedule thereto by the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) in accordance with Section 2.04.

On or before 10:00 a.m. (local time at the Place of Payment) on the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, or such other date and time as may be agreed by the Trustee, any relevant Paying Agent and the Company, the Company will deposit in trust with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all or any portion of the Securities of a series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption.

If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company will give the Trustee adequate written notice at least 45 calendar days in advance (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) as to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series to be redeemed.

If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Securities to be redeemed shall be selected (a) with respect to Securities of a series issued in book-entry only form and represented by one or more Global Securities, in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, or (b) with respect to Securities of a series represented by Definitive Securities, in such manner as may be agreed by the Company and the Trustee not more than 60 calendar days prior to the date of redemption. The portion of the principal amount of Securities of a series so selected for partial redemption and the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of Securities of such series shall be equal to the minimum authorized denomination for such Securities or any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 3.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.

If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after such date fixed for redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with any interest accrued to such date fixed for redemption) interest on such Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, except as provided in Sections 6.06 and 12.02, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption.

On presentation and surrender of such Securities subject to redemption at the Place of Payment and in the manner specified in such notice, such Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(b), any payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the holders of such Securities registered as such at the close of business on the relevant

20

record date, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.05. At the option of the Company, payment may be made by wire transfer or by check mailed to the holders of the Securities entitled thereto at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register, provided that, with respect to any Securities of a series represented by one or more Global Securities, payment may be made pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary as in effect on such date fixed for redemption.

Any Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the holder thereof or such xxxxxx’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and upon such presentation, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so presented, or the Security so presented that continues to represent the unredeemed portion of principal may be returned, if feasible, by the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) to the Depositary or such other depositary as may be referred to in any instructions from the Company regarding the return of such Security.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each occasion on which Securities of a series represented by a Global Security are redeemed in part pursuant to this Article Three, the resulting decrease in the amount of Securities of such series Outstanding represented thereby will be endorsed or notated thereon or on a schedule thereto by the Trustee or the Security Registrar (if other than the Trustee) in accordance with Section 2.04.

SECTION 3.04. Redemption Suspended During Event of Default.

No Securities of a series shall be redeemed (unless all such Securities of a series then Outstanding are to be redeemed) nor shall any notice of redemption of Securities of a series be given during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to such Securities of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or of which the Trustee has notice as described in Section 7.02(i) hereof, except that where the giving of notice of redemption of the Securities of a series shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem such Securities, provided funds are deposited with the Trustee for such purpose in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Except as aforesaid, any money theretofore or thereafter received by the Trustee shall, during the continuance of such Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or of which the Trustee has notice as described in Section 7.02(i), be held in trust for the benefit of the securityholders and applied in the manner set forth in Section 6.06; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided herein or otherwise cured, such money shall thereafter be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

SECTION 3.05. Repayment at the Option of Holders.

The provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be applicable to Securities of a series that are subject to repayment at the option of the holders thereof before their maturity, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03(b) for the Securities of such series. The terms of the Securities of such series may require a holder to request a minimum amount or number of Securities to be repaid on any date fixed for repayment.

Notice and confirmation of a required repayment by the Company of Securities of a series to be repaid as a whole or in part at the option of the holders shall be given by each holder in the manner and at the time specified in the terms of such Securities pursuant to Section 2.03(b). The notice of repayment

21

from each such holder shall specify the principal amount or number of each Security of such series held by such holder to be repaid and that arrangements will be made for the presentation and surrender of such Securities and that on and after said date, interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be repaid will cease to accrue.

On or before the repayment date specified in the terms of the Securities as provided for in this Section, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.03) an amount of money sufficient to repay on the repayment date all the Securities of such series submitted for repayment at the appropriate repayment price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for repayment.

If notice of election for repayment has been given by each holder as provided in this Section, the Securities of the series or portions of Securities of the series specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place set forth in the terms of such Securities at the applicable repayment price, together with interest accrued, if any, to the date fixed for repayment, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the repayment price, together with interest accrued to said date, if any) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so subject to repayment shall cease to accrue, and, except as provided in Sections 6.06 and 12.02, such Securities shall, from and after the date fixed for repayment, cease to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the repayment price thereof and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for repayment. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment specified in the terms of such Securities, those Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and purchased by the Company at the applicable repayment price, together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to the date fixed for repayment; provided that any payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for repayment shall be to the holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.05 hereof.

presentations and surrenders of any Securities may be made and notices and demands may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where any series of Securities or any particular Securities of a series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for any Securities for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the holders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

With respect to any Global Security, and except as otherwise may be specified for such Global Security as contemplated by Section 2.03(b), the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be the Place of Payment where such Global Security may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefor, provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary for such Global Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the Place of Payment for such Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or any interest or other amounts due on such Securities when the same shall be due and payable; and

SECTION 4.05. Waiver of Covenants.

The Company or the Guarantor may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in this Indenture if before or after the time for such compliance the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected thereby, considered together as one class for this purpose (such affected Securities may be Securities of the same or different series and, with respect to any particular series, may comprise fewer than all of the Securities of such series) shall either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, and any duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Event of Default shall occur with respect to any Securities, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to exercise any remedy against the Company or the Guarantor with respect to any Securities, in each case solely as a result of, or because it is related directly or indirectly to, the insolvency of the Guarantor or the commencement of any proceedings relative to the Guarantor under the United States Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or the appointment of a receiver for the Guarantor under Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 or the commencement of any other applicable United States Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, resolution or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or solely as a result of, or because it is related directly or indirectly to, the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Guarantor or for any substantial part of its property or solely as a result of, or because it is related directly or indirectly to, the institution of any other comparable judicial or regulatory proceedings relative to the Guarantor, or to the creditors or property of the Guarantor.

SECTION 6.02. Rescission and Annulment.

Except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 2.03(b) for all or any particular Securities of any series, the provisions in Section 6.01 are subject to the condition that, if at any time after the principal of the Securities to which any one or more Events of Default are applicable shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest or other amounts due on all such Securities and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) all such Securities, which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in such Securities (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration of such series, as the case may be), to the date of such payment or deposit, and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith, and any and all defaults under the Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of such Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been remedied; then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such affected Securities then Outstanding, by

29

written notice to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to that series or with respect to all such affected Securities treated as a single class and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; provided that no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the securityholders, as the case may be, shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the securityholders, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

SECTION 6.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if

(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or other amounts due (other than principal, premium, if any or other amounts payable at maturity or upon redemption) on any Securities when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 calendar days, or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal or premium, if any, of any Securities at the maturity thereof, including any maturity occurring by reason of a call for redemption or otherwise,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of such Securities, the whole amount that shall have become due and payable on such Securities for principal or premium, if any, and interest and other amounts due, with interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate borne by such Securities; and, in addition thereto, 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.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the securityholders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 6.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In the case of the pendency of a receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or such other obligor or their creditors, the

30

Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and premium, if any, and any interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such 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 of the holders of Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii) to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator or sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each holder of Securities 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 of Securities, 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 7.06. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in any such proceedings 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, moneys, securities and other property which the holders of the Securities may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan or reorganization or arrangements or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of the holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any holder of a Security in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

SECTION 6.06. Application of Money Collected.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or premium, if any, or any interest or other amounts due, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal of and premium, if any, and any interest and other amounts due on the Securities, in

THIRD: To the Company or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

SECTION 6.07. Limitation on Suits.

(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceedings; and

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of a majority in principal amount of such Securities then Outstanding;

it being understood and intended that no one or more holders of any Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such holder of Securities or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such holders of Securities.

SECTION 6.08. Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Receive Principal and Interest.

SECTION 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any holder of a Security has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such holder, then and in every such case the Company,

the Trustee and the holders of Securities shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

SECTION 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as provided in Section 2.09, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders of Securities is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the holders of Securities.

SECTION 6.12. Control by Securityholders.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected thereby shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that

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

(3) the Trustee need not take any action which it in good faith determines might involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the securityholders not consenting.

Except as may otherwise be provided as contemplated by Section 2.03(b) for all or any particular Securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected thereby may, on behalf of the holders of all such affected Securities, waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default

33

SECTION 6.14. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Security, by such holder’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any holder, or group of holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected thereby, or to any suit instituted by any holder of any Securities for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, any interest or other amounts payable on such Securities on or after the respective stated maturities expressed in such Securities (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date, except, in the case of a partial redemption, with respect to the portion not so redeemed).

(a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to any particular Securities or the Securities of one or more or all series by giving at least 30 calendar days’ written notice of resignation to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the applicable Securities by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 calendar days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of such Securities for at least six months, or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.08 with respect to any Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such securityholder, or

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable Securities and appoint a successor trustee with respect to such Securities by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.14, any securityholder of such Securities who has been a bona fide holder of such Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such Securities. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series (voting as one class) at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of all series by giving at least 30 calendar days’ written notice to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of all series.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon the appointment of a successor trustee and the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.

SECTION 7.10. Acceptance by Successor Trustee.

Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and the Guarantor and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such

39

appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee with respect to the applicable Securities shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the predecessor trustee shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the predecessor trustee. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments in writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee, including the initial Trustee, ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to certain (but not all) Securities hereunder, the Company, the Guarantor, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the applicable Securities shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such trustee.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under the provisions of this Article Seven.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall provide notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all holders of the applicable Securities in the manner described in Section 16.04. If the Company fails to provide such notice in the prescribed manner within ten days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be provided in the manner described in Section 16.04 at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 7.11. Successor by Xxxxxx, etc.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified and eligible under the provisions of this Article Seven, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

40

SECTION 7.12. Limitations on Rights of Trustee as Creditor.

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or the Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or the Guarantor (or any such other obligor).

SECTION 7.13. Notice of Default.

Within 90 calendar days after the occurrence of any default on any Securities hereunder, the Trustee shall transmit to all securityholders of such Securities, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 16.04, notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security or on the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the securityholders; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in clause (c) of Section 6.01 no such notice to securityholders shall be given until at least 30 calendar days after the occurrence thereof.

SECTION 7.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee may appoint, with the approval of the Company and the Guarantor, an authenticating agent or agents (which may be an affiliate or affiliates of the Company) with respect to any Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate such Securities issued upon original issue or upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 2.09, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor, each authenticating agent shall be acceptable to the Company and the Guarantor and shall be a corporation having at all times a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and that is subject to supervision or examination by United States Federal or State or District of Columbia authority, or the equivalent foreign authority in the case of an authenticating agent that is not organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or of the District of Columbia. If such authenticating agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to any applicable law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such authenticating agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such authenticating agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of such authenticating agent, shall continue to be an authenticating agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such authenticating agent.

41

An authenticating agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company and the Guarantor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating agent by giving written notice thereof to such authenticating agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall promptly give notice of such appointment to all holders of Securities in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 16.04. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to each authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section as may be agreed by the Company and such authenticating agent.

If an appointment of an authentication agent with respect to any Securities is made pursuant to this Section, the certificate of authentication to be borne by such Securities shall be substantially in the following form:

This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein and referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Authorized Signatory

If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing, shall appoint in accordance with this Section an authenticating agent (which, if so requested by the Company, shall be such affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor) having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such Securities, provided that the terms and conditions of such appointment are acceptable to the Trustee.

ARTICLE EIGHT

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

SECTION 8.01. Action by Securityholders.

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any authorization, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other

42

action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by securityholders in person or by agent or proxy duly appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the holders of Securities voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of securityholders of such Securities duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of securityholders.

In determining whether the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series have taken any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), (i) the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that may be counted in making such determination and that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be equal to the amount of the principal thereof that could be declared to be due and payable upon an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of such Original Issue Discount Security at the time the taking of such action is evidenced to the Trustee, and (ii) the principal amount of a Security denominated in a foreign currency or currency unit shall be the U.S. Dollar equivalent, determined as of the date of original issuance of such Security in accordance with Section 2.03(b) hereof, of the principal amount of such Security.

SECTION 8.02. Proof of Execution by Securityholders.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a securityholder or its agent or proxy, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee.

The principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

The record of any securityholders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06.

SECTION 8.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may deem the person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the Security Register to be, and may treat him or her as, the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon), for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.05 and 2.07, any interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being, or upon his or her order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or of the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and holders of interests in any Global Security, as the case may be, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary as holder of such Global Security.

43

SECTION 8.04. Company-Owned Securities Disregarded.

In determining whether the holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have provided any request, demand, authorization, notice, direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities, or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, the Guarantor or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

SECTION 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Securityholders Bound.

At any time prior to the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Security, the identifying number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action, may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security and of any Security issued upon registration of transfer of or in exchange or substitution therefor in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities.

SECTION 8.06. Record Date.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of holders of Securities of any series entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent or to otherwise take any action under this Indenture authorized or permitted by Section 6.12 or Section 6.13 or otherwise under this Indenture. Such record date shall be the later of the date 20 calendar days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or vote or other action or the date of the most recent list of holders of such Securities delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01 prior to such solicitation. If such a record date is fixed, those persons who were holders of such Securities at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to vote or consent or take such other action, or to revoke any such action, whether or not such persons continue to be holders after such record date, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date.

47

(f) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or in any supplemental indenture or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, provided such other provisions shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the holders of the Outstanding Securities affected thereby;

With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected by such supplemental indenture, considered together as one class for this purpose (such affected Securities may be Securities of the same or different series and, with respect to any series, may comprise fewer than all the Securities of such series), the Company and the Guarantor, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution of their respective Boards, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of such affected Securities under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holders of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, extend the stated maturity of any Securities, or reduce the principal amount thereof or premium, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or other amounts due thereon, or reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, except in accordance with the terms of such Securities established as contemplated by Section 2.03(b), or reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture.

A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular Securities or series of Securities, or that modifies the rights of the holder of such Securities or series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the holder of any other Securities or any other series, as applicable.

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution of the Company and the Guarantor certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of securityholders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantor in the execution of such supplemental

48

indenture unless such supplemental indenture 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 supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the securityholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten, the Company shall provide notice thereof setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 16.04, to all holders of Outstanding Securities of each series so affected. Any failure of the Company so to provide such notice, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 10.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act; Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten and subject to the provisions in any supplemental indenture relating to the prospective application of such instrument, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor and the holders of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture complies with the provisions of this Article Ten.

SECTION 10.04. Notation on Securities.

Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. New Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered, without charge to the securityholders, in exchange for the Securities of such series then Outstanding.

(a) The Company covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other Person or sell, convey or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person other than the Guarantor, unless (1) either the Company shall be the continuing entity, or the successor Person (if other than the

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 14.01. Applicability of Article.

Unless, as specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b), provision is made that either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 14.02 and (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities

52

of a series under Section 14.03 shall not apply to the Securities of a series, then the provisions of such Section 14.02 and Section 14.03, together with Sections 14.04 and 14.05, shall be applicable to the Outstanding Securities of a series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Fourteen. For purposes of this Article Fourteen, the term “Securities of a series” and any similar terms shall mean Securities having identical terms, except as to issue date, principal amount and, if applicable, the date from which interest beings to accrue.

SECTION 14.02. Defeasance and Discharge.

In the case of Outstanding Securities of a series on which the exact amounts or maximum amounts due or to become due can be determined at the time of the making of the deposit referred to in Section 14.04, and subject to Section 14.05, the Company may cause itself to be discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of a series on and after the date the applicable conditions precedent set forth below are satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions subsequent set forth below (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 14.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and any interest or other amounts due on such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 4.02 and 4.03 and such obligations as shall be ancillary thereto, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, immunities and other provisions in respect of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article Fourteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen, defeasance with respect to Securities of a series by the Company is permitted under this Section 14.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its rights under Section 14.03 with respect to the such Securities. Following a defeasance, payment of such Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

SECTION 14.03. Covenant Defeasance.

In the case of Outstanding Securities of a series on which the exact amounts or maximum amounts due or to become due can be determined at the time of the making of the deposit referred to in Section 14.04, the Company shall be released from its obligations applicable to such Securities under Section 11.01(a), the Guarantor shall be released from its obligations applicable to such Securities under Section 4.06 and Section 11.01(b), and each of the Company and the Guarantor shall be released from its obligations applicable to such Securities under Section 4.04 and, if so specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b), any other restrictive covenant added for the benefit of such Securities pursuant to Section 2.03(b) (and the occurrence of any event specified in Section 6.01(c) (with respect to Section 4.04, Section 4.06 and Section 11.01 and any such other covenants, as applicable) and Section 6.01(f) shall not be deemed to be or result in a Default or an Event of Default), on and after the date the applicable conditions precedent set forth below are satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions subsequent set forth below (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

53

SECTION 14.04. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions precedent or, as specifically noted below, subsequent to application of either Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 to the Outstanding Securities of a series:

(1) The Company or the Guarantor shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the holders of such Securities (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the opening of business on the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, without reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge (i) the principal of and any premium, interest and other amounts payable on the Outstanding Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such series on the due dates thereof. Before such a deposit the Company or the Guarantor may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date or dates in accordance with Article Three which shall be given effect in applying the foregoing;

(2) No Event of Default, or event which after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities, shall have happened and be continuing (A) on the date of such deposit or (B) insofar as subsections 6.01(a) and (b) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable in respect of such deposit (it being understood that the condition in this clause (B) is a condition subsequent and shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period);

(3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not (A) cause the Trustee for the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section 7.08 or for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the Company or (B) result in the trust arising from such deposit to constitute, unless it is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

(4) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

(5) In the case of a defeasance under Section 14.02, the Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable United States Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of such Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

54

(6) In the case of covenant defeasance under Section 14.03, the Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders of such Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States 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;

(7) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.03(b); and

(8) The Company or the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent and subsequent provided for in this Indenture relating to either the defeasance under Section 14.02 or the covenant defeasance under Section 14.03, as the case may be, have been complied with.

SECTION 14.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of the Outstanding Securities of a series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (but not including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company or the Guarantor shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 14.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 14.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance, provided that the Trustee shall not be required to liquidate any U.S. Government Obligations in order to comply with the provisions of this paragraph.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if and to the extent the deposited money or U.S. Government Obligations (or the proceeds thereof) either (i) cannot be applied by the Trustee in accordance with this Section because of a court order or (ii) are for any reason insufficient in amount, then the Company’s obligations to pay principal of and any premium, interest and other amounts due on such Securities shall be reinstated to the extent necessary to cover the deficiency on any due date for payment. In any such case, the Company’s interest in the deposited money and U.S. Government Obligations (and proceeds thereof) shall be reinstated to the extent the Company’s payment obligations are reinstated.

SECTION 14.06. Return of Unclaimed Moneys.

Any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest or other amounts due on any Security and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal (and premium, if any, on) or interest or other amounts due shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company or the

55

Guarantor by the Trustee or such Paying Agent on demand, and the holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company or the Guarantor for any payment which such holder may be entitled to collect and all liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.

ARTICLE FIFTEEN

GUARANTEE

SECTION 15.01. The Guarantee.

Subject to the provisions of this Article, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guarantees to the holders and the Trustee, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, on an unsecured basis, the due and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon redemption, repayment or acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and any interest and all other amounts due and payable by the Company on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. Upon failure by the Company to punctually pay any such amount when due, the Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the same place and in the same manner specified that applies to payments made by the Company under this Indenture. The Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

SECTION 15.02. Guarantee Unconditional.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected or impaired by: (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, release, or moratorium in respect of any obligation of the Company under this Indenture or any Security, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise; (b) any waiver, modification or amendment of or supplement to this Indenture or any Security; (c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in this Indenture or any Security; (d) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set off, recoupment or other rights or defenses which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; (e) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of this Indenture or any Security, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of or interest on any Security; or (f) any act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder).

SECTION 15.03. Discharge; Reinstatement.

The Guarantor’s obligations under this Article with respect to any Securities will remain in full force and effect until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and any interest and all other amounts due and payable by the Company on such Securities have been paid in full. If at any time any due and punctual payment of the principal of (premium, if any, on) or any interest or other amount payable by the Company on any Security is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

56

SECTION 15.04. Waiver by the Guarantor.

The Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company or any other Person. The Guarantor hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and any interest or other amounts payable by the Company with respect to any Security, whether at its stated maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the holder of such Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company.

SECTION 15.05. Subrogation.

Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Company under this Article, the Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation, provided that the Guarantor may not enforce any right of subrogation with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Securities remains unpaid.

SECTION 15.06. Stay of Acceleration.

If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Securities is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the holders.

SECTION 15.07. Savings Clause.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.

SECTION 15.08. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

The execution by the Guarantor of this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture) evidences the Guarantee of the Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Security. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

57

SECTION 15.09. Termination of the Guarantee Upon Merger.

The Guarantee of the Guarantor will terminate upon the merger of the Company with and into the Guarantor in accordance with Article Eleven.

SECTION 15.10. Release of Guarantee.

The Guarantee of the Guarantor of any Securities will terminate upon the defeasance of such Securities as provided in Section 14.02. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or the Guarantor as may be required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee of such Securities.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns and the holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns and the holders of the Securities.

SECTION 16.02. Provisions Binding on Successors.

All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture made by or on behalf of the Company or the Guarantor shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 16.03. Addresses for Notices, etc., to Company, Guarantor and Trustee.

Any notice or demand which by any provisions of this Indenture is required or permitted to be made upon, given, served or furnished by the Trustee or by the holders of Securities to or on the Company or the Guarantor shall be sufficiently made, given, served or furnished if it shall be mailed by postage prepaid first class mail, delivered or sent by facsimile to Bank of America Corporate Center, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, XX0-000-00-00, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000-0065; Facsimile number: 000-000-0000, Attention: Corporate Treasury—Global Funding Transaction Management, with a copy to Bank of America Corporate Center, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, XX0-000-00-00, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000; Facsimile number (000) 000-0000, Attention: General Counsel, or such other address or facsimile number as may have been furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be.

Any notice, direction, request or demand by any securityholder to or upon the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if given or made in writing at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Trustee shall be entitled to treat a facsimile, pdf or e-mail communication or communication by other similar electronic means in a form satisfactory to it (“Electronic Methods”) from a person purporting to be, and whom the Trustee, acting reasonably, believes in good faith to be, the authorized

58

representative of the Company as sufficient instructions and authority of the Company for the Trustee to act and shall have no duty to confirm that person is so authorized, other than, with respect to the Company, to verify that any signature is the signature of a person authorized to give instructions and directions on behalf of the Company using the information provided by the Company in an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons . The Trustee shall have no liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred by it as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions or directions, except in the case of its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, until such time as the Trustee receives any subsequent instruction or direction that supersedes such earlier instructions or directions. The Company assumes all risks arising out of the use of such Electronic Methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties, other than those risks arising out of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Trustee.

SECTION 16.04. Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to holders of Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and mailed, first- class postage prepaid, to each holder of a Security affected by such event, at the address of such holder as it appears in the Security Register, not earlier than the earliest date (if any) and not later than the latest date (if any) prescribed for the giving of such notice.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to holders of Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such holders for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other holders of Securities.

Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to a holder of a Global Security, such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Security (or its designee), pursuant to the procedures of such Depositary then in place, not earlier than the earliest date (if any) and not later than the latest date (if any) prescribed for the giving of such notice.

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

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language.

SECTION 16.05. Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent.

Upon any application or demand by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or

59

demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.
