The Separate Trustee hereby accepts, and the Original Trustee hereby agrees to, any such appointment and designation. Without further act, deed or conveyance, all the rights, powers, trusts, obligations and duties of the Trustee under the Base Indenture shall apply to, be vested in, inure to the benefit of and otherwise obligate, as the case may be, the Separate Trustee with respect to, and only with respect to, any Designated Series with like effect in each case as if originally named as Trustee with respect thereto in the Base Indenture. Nothing in this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be construed to amend in any respect the rights, powers, trusts, obligations and duties of the Original Trustee under the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture with respect to the 2009 Notes or any other series of Debt Securities that is not a Designated Series, and all the rights, powers, trusts, obligations and duties of the Trustee under the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture with respect to the 2009 Notes and any such other series of Debt Securities shall apply to, be vested in, inure to the benefit of and otherwise obligate, as the case may be, the Original Trustee without prejudice, diminution or limitation of any kind. The Original Trustee shall have no rights, powers, trusts, obligations or duties with respect to any Designated Series, and the Separate Trustee shall have no rights, powers, trusts, obligations or duties with respect to the 2009 Notes or any other series of Debt Securities that is not a Designated Series.

SECTION 202. Further Assurances. The Original Trustee and the Separate Trustee hereby agree, at the reasonable request of the Company with respect to the specific action to be taken, to cooperate in good faith to further the intent and purpose of each of the provisions of the Base Indenture (as amended and supplemented hereby) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the date hereof the Company, the Original Trustee, at the reasonable request of the Company with respect to the specific action to be taken, and the Separate Trustee shall take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable actions, and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with any other party in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to effect the intent and purpose of this Second Supplemental Indenture and to otherwise provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the Base Indenture and the indentures supplemental thereto by more than one trustee (but only one trustee with respect to each series).

SECTION 203. Eligibility of the Separate Trustee. The Separate Trustee hereby represents that it is qualified and eligible under the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act and

---

Section 7.09 of the Base Indenture to accept an appointment and designation as Trustee with respect to any Designated Series.

SECTION 204. Security Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company hereby appoints and designates the Separate Trustee as “Registrar” and “paying agent” with respect to any Designated Series and as the agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Debt Securities of any Designated Series or of the Indenture (to the extent relating to such Debt Securities) may be served, and the Separate Trustee accepts such appointment and designation. Unless and until otherwise determined by the Company by resolution of its Board of Directors, the register of the Company for purpose of registration, exchange or registration of transfer of the Debt Securities of any Designated Series shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Separate Trustee.

SECTION 205. Concerning the Trustees. In carrying out any of its responsibilities under the Base Indenture, the Separate Trustee shall have all of the rights, powers, privileges, protections, duties, immunities and obligations applicable to the Trustee under the Base Indenture with respect to, and only with respect to, any Designated Series. The Original Trustee and the Separate Trustee shall not constitute co-trustees of the same trust, and each of the Original Trustee and the Separate Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under the Base Indenture and indentures supplemental thereto separate and apart from any trust or trusts administered thereunder by the other trustee. Nothing in this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be construed to create or impose (i) any liability on the Original Trustee for any acts or omissions of the Separate Trustee or (ii) any liability on the Separate Trustee for any acts or omissions of the Original Trustee. Matters arising under the Base Indenture and indentures supplemental thereto that purport to require or permit action by the Original Trustee with respect to any Designated Series shall be deemed to require or permit action only by the Separate Trustee, and the Original Trustee shall have no responsibility therefor (except to the extent, if any, that any such matter requires action of multiple trustees or necessarily pertains to multiple series of Debt Securities, in which case the provisions of Section 202 hereof shall apply). For avoidance of doubt, references in any supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate providing for the establishment of the Debt Securities of a Designated Series to sections of the Base Indenture that would otherwise purport to require or permit actions by the Original Trustee with respect to Debt Securities of such Designated Series shall be deemed to require or permit actions only by the Separate Trustee and the Original Trustee shall have no responsibility therefor. Matters arising under the Base Indenture and indentures supplemental thereto that purport to require or permit action by the Separate Trustee with respect to any Debt Securities other than those of a Designated Series shall be deemed to require or permit action only by the Original Trustee, and the Separate Trustee shall have no responsibility therefor (except to the extent, if any, that any such matter requires action of multiple trustees or necessarily pertains to multiple series of Debt Securities, in which case the provisions of Section 202 hereof shall apply). For avoidance of doubt, references in any supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate providing for the establishment of Debt Securities other than those of a Designated Series to sections of the Base Indenture that would otherwise purport to require or permit actions by the Separate Trustee with respect to such Debt Securities shall be deemed to require or permit actions only by the Original Trustee and the Separate Trustee shall have no responsibility therefor.
