All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon his 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 Note.

          SECTION 2.05 PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST. Not later than 12:00 noon (New York Time) one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal and

interest on any Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal and interest so becoming due on the due date for payment under the Notes. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by any Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law and in no event shall any Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder.

The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.

          SECTION 2.06 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Where Notes of a series are presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register denominations of the same series, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met.

          The Transfer Agent may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any taxes imposed on a transfer or exchange.

          SECTION 2.07 REPLACEMENT NOTES. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided that the requirements of this Section 2.07 are met. An indemnity bond must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its expenses and the expenses of the Trustee in replacing a Note. In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

          Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

          SECTION 2.08 OUTSTANDING NOTES. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.07 and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

          If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on any redemption date, the maturity date or any date of repurchase money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

          A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds such Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or has received written notice to be so owned shall be so disregarded. The Company shall notify the Trustee when it, any obligor or any of their respective Affiliates acquires any Notes. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

          SECTION 2.09 GLOBAL NOTES. If a Securities Resolution so provides, the Company may issue some or all of the Notes of a series in temporary or permanent global form. A global Note may be in registered form or in uncertificated form. A global Note shall represent that amount of Notes of a series as specified in the global Note or as endorsed thereon from time to time. At the Company’s request, the Registrar shall endorse a global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the Notes represented thereby.

          The Company may issue a global Note only to a depository designated by the Company. A depository may transfer a global Note only as a whole to its nominee or to a successor depository.

          The Notes Resolution may establish, among other things, the manner of paying principal and interest on a global Note and whether and upon what terms a beneficial owner of an interest in a global Note may exchange such interest for definitive Notes.

          The Company, an Affiliate, the Trustee and any Agent shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of a depository, for any depository records of beneficial ownership interests or for any transactions between the depository and beneficial owners.

          SECTION 2.10 TEMPORARY NOTES. Until definitive permanent Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive permanent Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the

officers executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company shall cause definitive permanent notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive permanent Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive permanent Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive permanent Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive permanent Notes.

          SECTION 2.11 CANCELLATION. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its normal procedure.

          SECTION 2.12 DEFAULTED INTEREST. If the Company defaults on a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A special record date, as used in this Section 2.12 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

          SECTION 2.13 CUSIP NUMBERS.

          The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” 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 Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, 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 change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

          SECTION 3.01 NOTICES TO TRUSTEE. Notes of a series that are redeemable before maturity shall be redeemed in accordance with their terms and, unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, in accordance with this Article.

          In the case of any redemption by the Company, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed.

          The Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section 3.01 in an Officers’ Certificate at least 60 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

          SECTION 3.02 SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED. In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange where the Notes are so listed or, if the Notes are not listed on a principal securities exchange, PRO RATA, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; PROVIDED that no Note of $1,000 principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company and the Registrar promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption.

          SECTION 3.03 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. With respect to any redemption of Notes, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first class mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

          The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP number) and shall state:

     (i) the redemption date;

     (ii) the redemption price;

     (iii) the name and address of each Paying Agent;

     (iv) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the applicable Paying Agent in order to collect the redemption price;

     (v) that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the redemption price plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date upon surrender of the Notes to the Paying Agent; and

     (vi) if the redemption is conditioned upon any subsequent event, a description of such condition or event.

          At the Company’s request (which request may be revoked by the Company at any time prior to the time at which the Trustee shall have given such notice to the Holders), made in writing to the Trustee at least 60 days (or such shorter period as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) before a redemption date, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name and at the expense of the Company. If, however, the Company gives such notice to the Holders, the Company shall concurrently deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such notice has been given.

          SECTION 3.04 EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price, unless the redemption is conditioned upon the occurrence of a subsequent event. Upon surrender of any Notes to the Paying Agent, unless such redemption is conditioned upon the occurrence of a subsequent event, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.

          Notice of redemption shall be deemed to be given when mailed, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. In any event, failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Notes held by Holders to whom such notice was properly given.

          SECTION 3.05 DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. On or before 12:00 noon (New York City time) one Business Day prior to any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.05) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

          SECTION 3.06 PAYMENT OF NOTES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION. If notice of redemption has been given in the manner provided above, and unless such redemption is conditioned upon a subsequent event, the Notes or portion of Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price stated therein, together with accrued interest, if any, to such redemption date, and so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the redemption price pursuant to the terms of this Indenture on and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Notes at the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the redemption date at the rate prescribed in the Notes), such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date; PROVIDED that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date.

          SECTION 3.07 NOTES REDEEMED IN PART. Upon surrender of any Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and

deliver to the Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of such surrendered Note.

          SECTION 4.06 INSURANCE.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

          SECTION 6.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. (a) The following events are defined as “EVENTS OF DEFAULT” with respect to each series of notes:

          (1) the failure to pay interest on any such Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by any applicable subordination provisions);

          (2) the failure to pay the principal on any such Notes, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise on the date specified for such payment in the applicable offer to purchase (whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by any applicable subordination provisions);

          (3) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, which default continues for a period of 45 days after the Company receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of such Notes (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

          (4) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Company, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness (which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 20 days of receipt by the Company of notice of any such acceleration);

          (5) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law,

(i) commences a voluntary case,

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, and in each case, the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or

          (b) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(5) or 6.01(a)(6) above with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the applicable Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (the “ACCELERATION NOTICE”), and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

          If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(5) or 6.01(a)(6) above with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes of such series shall IPSO FACTO become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

          (c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in Section 6.01(b), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of such Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

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

          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on such Notes.

          Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture and under the TIA. The Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to all provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a series 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.

          SECTION 6.02 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default with respect to the Notes, give the Holders thereof notice of all uncured Defaults thereunder known to it; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except in the case of an Event of Default in payment with respect to the Notes or a Default in complying with Section 5.01, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

          SECTION 6.03 OTHER REMEDIES. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing on a series of Notes, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such series or this Indenture.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. Holders of such Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes of such series except as provided in Section 6.02, Section 6.05, Section 6.06 and Section 6.07.

          SECTION 6.04 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series, by notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note of such series as specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 which cannot be waived without the consent of the Holder of such Note or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each

outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

          SECTION 6.05 CONTROL BY MAJORITY. Subject to Section 7.02(e), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of a series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

          SECTION 6.06 LIMITATION ON SUITS. A Holder may not pursue any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture and the Notes of a series or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder unless:

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

(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 15 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(v) during such 15-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

          However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on such Note on or after the due date therefor (after giving effect to any grace period specified in Section 6.01(a) and only with respect to the amount of such missed payment).

          For purposes of Section 6.05 of this Indenture and this Section 6.06, the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 316(a) in making any determination of whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes have concurred in any request or direction of the Trustee to pursue any remedy available to the Trustee or the Holders with respect to this Indenture and such Notes or otherwise under the law.

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

          SECTION 6.07 RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of the principal amount of, Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes of a series, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

          SECTION 6.08 COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE. If an Event of Default in payment of principal, premium or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor of the Notes for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes of such series, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

          SECTION 6.09 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor of the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

          SECTION 6.10 PRIORITIES. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article Six it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee for all amounts due under Section 7.07 and any receiver, manager, administrative receiver, liquidator or agent appointed subject to this Indenture;

Second: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of a series in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal,

premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Company and any other obligors of such Notes, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

          The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

          SECTION 6.11 UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

          SECTION 6.12 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any Holder 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, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

          SECTION 6.13 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Notes in Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

          SECTION 6.14 DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 7

The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article Seven.

          SECTION 7.02 CERTAIN RIGHTS, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE. Subject to TIA Sections 315(a) through (d):

(a) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs;

The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document;

(c) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the certificate or opinion described in Section 11.03 or Section 11.04, as the case may be.

or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes required by this Indenture relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

(g) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed), in the absence of bad faith on its part, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel furnished to it and conforming with the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel which by provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

(h) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

(i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notification, or obtained actual knowledge;

each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and

(k) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

          SECTION 7.03 INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311.

          SECTION 7.05 NOTICE OF DEFAULT. If any Default or any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if such Default or Event of Default is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c) notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured; PROVIDED,

HOWEVER, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Board of Directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders. The Company shall give the Trustee notice of any uncured Default or Event of Default within 30 days after any Responsible Officer of the Company becomes aware of or receives actual notice of such Event of Default.

          SECTION 7.06 REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. Within 60 days after each May 15 following initial issuance, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder as provided in TIA Section 313(c) a brief report dated as of such May 15 if required by TIA Section 313(a).

          SECTION 7.07 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Company shall pay to the Trustee such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its services hereunder. The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

          The Company shall indemnify the Trustee, in each of its capacities, and any successor of the Trustee, in each of its capacities, for, and hold it harmless against, any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, liability or expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and advisors) and taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred by it without negligence or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the Notes and the exercise of its rights and powers under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the Notes and the exercise of the rights of the Trustee thereunder. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, Additional Interest, if any, and interest on particular Notes.

          If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(5) and/or 6.01(a)(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

          The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, payment of the Notes and/or the removal or resignation of the Trustee.

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

          The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee by a Board Resolution if: (a) the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10; (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.08 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or

is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after the delivery of such written acceptance, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07, (i) the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

          If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10, any Holder who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

          Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligation under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          SECTION 7.09 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein.

          SECTION 7.10 ELIGIBILITY. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

          SECTION 7.11 MONEY HELD IN TRUST. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under Article Eight of this Indenture.

          SECTION 7.12 WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Paying Agent, as agent for the Company, shall exclude and withhold from each payment of principal and interest and other amounts due hereunder or under the Notes any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law, as directed in writing by the Company. The Paying Agent agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Notes, to withhold such amounts, as directed in writing by the Company, and timely pay the same to the

appropriate authority, as directed in writing by the Company, in the name of and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, and to file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due. The Company or the Trustee shall, as promptly as possible after the payment of the taxes described above, deliver to each Holder of a Note documentation in form satisfactory to the Company showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Holders may reasonably request from time to time.

          SECTION 7.13 TRUSTEE’S APPLICATION FOR INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE COMPANY. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such actions shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any Officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

          SECTION 7.14 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Notes may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments necessary to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Notes, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Holders, such title to the Notes, or any part hereof, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.14, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No notice to Holders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required.

          (b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act) except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified or it shall be unreasonably burdensome for the Trustee to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Notes or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

          (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article Seven. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the appointment, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

          (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

     (C) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing);

     (D) the Legal Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) or any other material agreement or instrument (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

     (E) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other of its creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other of its creditors or others;

     (B) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to such Trustee confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

     (C) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing);

     (D) the Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing) or any other material agreement or instrument (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

     (E) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other of its creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other of its creditors or others;

     (F) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions provided for in, in the case of the Officers’ Certificate, clauses (A) through (E) and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, clauses (A) (with respect to the validity and perfection of the security interest), (B) and (D) of this Section 8.03 have been complied with; and

     (G) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the date of deposit and the 124th day following the date of deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the Company, after the 124th day following the date of deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

          If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

          SECTION 8.04 APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY. Subject to Section 8.06, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, and shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations in accordance with the Notes and this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.

          SECTION 8.06 REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; PROVIDED that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

          (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

          (2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

          (3) to comply with Article 5 or Section 11.06;

          (4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not materially adversely affect the rights or interests under this Indenture of any such Holder;

          (5) to create a series and establish its terms;

          (6) to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

          (7) to alter the form of Notes to provide for any changes in applicable tax laws to the extent that such changes do not materially adversely affect the rights or interests of any Holder;

          (8) to comply with the requirements of any supplemental indenture relating to an Inversion Transaction;

          (9) to provide that specific provisions of this Indenture shall not apply to a series not previously issued; or

          (10) to provide for a separate Trustee for one or more series.

          This Section 9.01 is subject to Section 9.05.

          SECTION 9.02 WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS. Unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 and without prior notice to the Holders, the Company, when authorized by its Board of Directors (as evidenced by a Board Resolution), and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture and the Notes.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

(i) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

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

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

(iv) make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(v) make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default; or

(vi) make any change that materially adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any Notes.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

          After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company shall mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

          This Section 9.02 is subject to Section 9.05.

          SECTION 9.03 REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENT. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of its Note. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes and any other conditions thereto specified in the notice relating thereto.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

          After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 9.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 9.02, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same indebtedness as the Note of the consenting Holder.

          SECTION 9.04 NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee shall, if directed in writing by the Company, place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee shall, if directed in writing by the Company, place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee upon the Company’s written direction in the form of a Company Order shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

          SECTION 9.05 TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. The Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized and permitted by this Indenture (and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee) and, in the case of an Inversion Transaction, that the Supplemental Indenture is a legal and binding obligation of the New Parent and enforceable against the New Parent in accordance with its terms. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign such amendment, supplement or waiver if the same does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

          SECTION 9.06 CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Nine shall conform to the requirement of the TIA as then in effect.
