The Notes shall be designated as “3.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2030.” Upon the execution of this Indenture, and from time to time thereafter, Notes may be executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Notes upon a written order of the Issuer, such order signed by two Officers or by an Officer and either an Assistant Treasurer of the General Partner or the Issuer or any Assistant Secretary of the General Partner or the Issuer, without any further action by the Issuer hereunder.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited; provided that upon initial issuance (including any issuance upon exercise of the Initial Purchasers’ option set forth in Section 2 of the Purchase Agreement), the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding shall not exceed $180,000,000, except as provided in Section 2.06. The Issuer may, without the consent of the Holders of Notes, issue additional Notes (the “Additional Notes”) from time to time in the future with the same terms and the same CUSIP number as the Notes originally issued under this Indenture (the “Initial Notes”) in an unlimited principal amount, provided that such Additional Notes must be part of the same issue as and fungible with the Initial Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. The Initial Notes and any such Additional Notes will constitute a single series of debt securities, and in circumstances in which this Indenture provides for the Holders of Notes to vote or take any action, the Holders of Initial Notes and the Holders of any such Additional Notes will vote or take that action as a single class.

Section 2.02. Form of Notes. The Notes, the Guarantee and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Notes shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends, endorsements or changes as the officers executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required by the Custodian, the Depositary or as may be required for the Notes to be tradable on any market existing or developed for trading of securities pursuant to Rule 144A or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, or unless otherwise required by law, or otherwise contemplated by Section 2.05(b), all of the Notes will be represented by one or more Notes in global form registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary (a “Global Note”). The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Note shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with this Indenture and the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Except as provided in Section 2.05(b), beneficial owners of a Global Note shall not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive form and will not be considered Holders of such Global Note.

Any Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect cancellations, redemptions, repurchases, exchanges, or transfers permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to

reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal of, interest on and premium, if any, on any Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note.

Section 2.03. Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest. The Notes shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Record Date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Note or portion thereof surrendered for exchange during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date for any interest payment date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable interest payment date must be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Issuer, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being exchanged; provided, however, that no such payment need be made (1) if a Holder exchanges its Notes in connection with a redemption and the Issuer has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately succeeding such interest payment date, (2) if a Holder exchanges its Notes in connection with a Designated Event and the Issuer has specified a Designated Event Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to such interest payment date, (3) to the extent of any overdue interest or Additional Interest, if any overdue interest or Additional Interest exists at the time of exchange with respect to such Note and (4) in connection with any exchange following the regular Record Date immediately preceding the final interest payment date. Interest shall be payable at the office of the Issuer maintained by the Issuer for such purposes in the City of St. ▇▇▇▇, Minnesota, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Issuer shall pay interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Note Register; provided, however, that a Holder of any Notes in certificated form in the aggregate principal amount of more than $2.0 million may specify by written notice to the Issuer that it pay interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Noteholder in such notice, or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. If a payment date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest shall accrue thereon. The term “Record Date” with respect to any interest payment date shall mean the January 1 or July 1 preceding the applicable January 15 or July 15 interest payment date, respectively.

No other payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on an exchanged Note.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any January 15 or July 15 (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be

payable to the Noteholder registered as such on the relevant Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five (25) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of monies equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such monies when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen (15) calendar days and not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (unless, the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission), first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than ten (10) calendar days prior to such special record date (unless, the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date). Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b) of this Section 2.03.

(b) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.04. Execution of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer. Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the

Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case any Officer who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuer, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.

Section 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer. (a) The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Note Register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being exchanged into written form within a reasonably prompt period of time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption, or repurchase shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer, and the Notes shall be duly executed by the Noteholder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made to any Holder for any registration of, transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.

In the event of any redemption in part, the Issuer shall not be required to: (i) issue or register the transfer or exchange of any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Notes for redemption and ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of Notes to be so redeemed, or (ii) register the transfer or exchange of any Note so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

The following provisions shall apply only to Global Notes:

(i) Each Global Note authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or Custodian therefor, and each such Global Note shall constitute a single Note for all purposes of this Indenture.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (1) the Depositary (x) has notified the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary has not been appointed by the Issuer within ninety (90) calendar days, (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (3) the Issuer, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it no longer wishes to have all the Notes represented by Global Notes. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (3) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the Issuer. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

(iii) Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Note or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder. Any Global Note to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Note Registrar. With regard to any Global Note to be exchanged in part, either such Global Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as

Custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery the Note issuable on such exchange to or upon the written order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (ii) above, the Issuer will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(v) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(vi) At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been redeemed, repurchased, exchanged, or canceled for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note shall, upon receipt thereof, be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is redeemed, repurchased, exchanged, or canceled for Notes in certificated form, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

(b) Every Note (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(b) to bear the legend set forth in this Section 2.05(b) (the “Restricted Notes Legend”), and any Common Stock that bears or is required under this Section 2.05(b) to bear the Common Stock legend set forth in this Section 2.05(b) (the “Common Stock Legend”) (collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.05(b) (including those set forth in the legends below) unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent of the Issuer, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Note Holder’s acceptance

thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.05(b), the term “transfer” means any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any Restricted Security or any interest therein.

Until the Maturity Date for the Notes, any certificate evidencing a Restricted Security shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, or unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES (1) THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY, EXCEPT (A) TO THE ISSUER, BIOMED REALTY TRUST, INC. OR A SUBSIDIARY OF THE ISSUER; OR (B) TO A PERSON THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A ADOPTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) THAT IS PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF ANOTHER QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER AND TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, ALL IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A (IF AVAILABLE); AND (2) THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY OR AN INTEREST HEREIN IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE AS TO THE ABOVE RESTRICTIONS.

Until the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), any certificate evidencing any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon exchange of any Note, shall bear a Common Stock Legend unless such Common Stock has been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar provision then in force, or unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER AGREES (1) THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY, EXCEPT (A) TO THE ISSUER, BIOMED REALTY, L.P. OR A SUBSIDIARY OF THE ISSUER; (B) UNDER A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME OF SUCH RESALE OR TRANSFER; (C) TO A PERSON THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A ADOPTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) THAT IS PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT

OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF ANOTHER QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER AND TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, ALL IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A (IF AVAILABLE); OR (D) UNDER ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT; IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION; (2) THAT IT WILL, PRIOR TO ANY TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY, FURNISH TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AND THE ISSUER SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION AS MAY BE REQUIRED TO CONFIRM THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS BEING MADE PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT; AND (3) THAT IT WILL DELIVER TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THIS SECURITY OR AN INTEREST HEREIN IS TRANSFERRED A NOTICE AS TO THE ABOVE RESTRICTIONS.

Any such shares of Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to which the conditions for removal of the Common Stock Legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like number of shares of Common Stock, which shall not bear the Common Stock Legend required by this Section 2.05(b).

(c) By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Notes Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture and as permitted by applicable law.

(d) Any Restricted Securities purchased or owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof may not be resold by the Issuer or such Affiliate unless registered under the Securities Act or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction which results in such Notes or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being “restricted securities” (as defined under Rule 144).

(e) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Agent Members or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the books or records, or the acts or omissions, of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Noteholders and all payments to be made to Noteholders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Noteholders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the customary procedures

of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Agent Members.

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 Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and upon its written request the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a new Note, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Following receipt by the Trustee or such authenticating agent, as the case may be, of satisfactory security or indemnity and evidence, as described in the preceding paragraph, the Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and make available for delivery such Note. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Issuer may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption or has been properly tendered for repurchase on a Designated Event Repurchase Date (and not withdrawn) or has been tendered for repurchase on a Repurchase Date (and not withdrawn), as the case may be, or is to be exchanged pursuant to this Indenture, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or exchange or authorize the exchange of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or exchange shall furnish to the Issuer, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or in connection with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Exchange Agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any

time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange or redemption or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or exchange or redemption or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Notes in certificated form, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon the written request of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Notes in certificated form, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Issuer. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Notes in certificated form. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer will execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Notes in certificated form and thereupon any or all temporary Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes in certificated form. Such exchange shall be made by the Issuer at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Notes in certificated form authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. Cancellation of Notes. All Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repurchase, exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Issuer or any paying agent to whom Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) or Exchange Agent, which shall initially be the Trustee, or any Note Registrar, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures, with copies of such cancelled Notes and related documentation provided to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, repurchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer 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 Noteholders; 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 Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE 3
Redemption and Repurchase of Notes

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption of Notes. (a) The Issuer shall have the right to redeem the Notes for cash, in whole or in part, (i) at any time, if the Issuer determines it is necessary to redeem the Notes in order to preserve the Guarantor’s status as a real estate investment trust and (ii) at any time or from time to time, on or after January 21, 2015, in each case upon the notice set forth in Section 3.02 at a redemption price (“Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any (plus Additional Interest, if applicable), on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date (instead of the Holder surrendering its Notes for redemption) and the Redemption Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. In connection with any redemption by the Issuer pursuant to clause (i) in this Section 3.01(a), the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing that the Board of Directors has, in good faith, made the determination that it is necessary to redeem the Notes in order to preserve the Guarantor’s status as a real estate investment trust.

(b) The Issuer shall not redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01(a) on any date if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such an acceleration has not been rescinded or cured on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to the Notes to be redeemed).

Section 3.02. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Notes. In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all or, as the case may be, any part of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption and it or, at its written request received by the Trustee not fewer than five (5) Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) to the date the notice of redemption is to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission), the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall mail (or send by electronic transmission) or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) a notice of such redemption not fewer than thirty (30) calendar days nor more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes so to be redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Note Register; provided that if the Issuer makes such request of the Trustee, it shall, together with such request, also give written notice of the Redemption Date to the Trustee; provided further that the text of the notice shall be prepared by the Issuer. Such mailing shall be by first class mail (unless sent by electronic transmission). The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, 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 by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers, if any, of the Notes being redeemed, (iii) the Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Redemption Price at which Notes are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, (vi) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, (vii) that the Holder has a right to exchange the Notes called for redemption, (viii) the Exchange Rate on the date of such notice, (ix) that Holders who wish to exchange Notes must comply with the limitations on ownership specified in Section 13.11 and (x) the time and date on which the right to exchange such Notes or portions thereof pursuant to this Indenture will expire. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any). In case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

Whenever any Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer will give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Date, together with an Officers’ Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed not fewer than forty-five (45) calendar days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date.

On or prior to the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Issuer will deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) an amount of monies in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the Redemption Date all the Notes (or portions thereof) so called for redemption (other than those theretofore surrendered for exchange) at the appropriate Redemption Price; provided that if such payment is made on the Redemption Date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date. The Issuer shall be entitled to retain any interest, yield or gain on amounts deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 in excess of amounts required hereunder to pay the Redemption Price. If any Note called for redemption is exchanged pursuant hereto prior to such Redemption Date, any monies deposited with the Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Note shall be paid to the Issuer or, if then held by the Issuer, shall be discharged from such trust.

If less than all of the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes or portions thereof of the Global Note or the Notes in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof), on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate or is required by the Depositary. If any Note selected for redemption is submitted for exchange pursuant to Article 13 in part after such selection, the portion of such Note submitted for exchange shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion to be selected for redemption. The Notes (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof, notwithstanding that any such Note is submitted for exchange in part before the mailing of the notice of redemption.

Upon any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Notes, the Issuer and the Trustee may (but need not), solely for purposes of determining the pro rata allocation among such Notes that are unexchanged and outstanding at the time of redemption, treat as outstanding any Notes surrendered for exchange during the period of fifteen (15) calendar days preceding the sending of a notice of redemption and may (but need not) treat as outstanding any Note authenticated and delivered during such period in exchange for the unexchanged portion of any Note exchanged in part during such period.

Section 3.03. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption by the Issuer. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Notes or portion of Notes with respect to which such notice has been given shall, unless exchanged pursuant to the terms of Article 13 hereof, become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price, and unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price, interest on the Notes or portion of Notes so called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and, after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Notes shall cease to be exchangeable pursuant to this Indenture and, except as provided in Section 7.05 and Section 11.02, to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Notes except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Notes at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Notes or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Upon presentation of any Note redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Notes so presented.

Section 3.04. Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund provided for the Notes.

Section 3.05. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Designated Event. (a) If there shall occur a Designated Event at any time prior to maturity of the Notes, then each Noteholder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuer to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, in cash, on a date (the “Designated Event Repurchase Date”) specified by the Issuer, which may be no earlier than fifteen (15) days and no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the Issuer Repurchase Notice related to such Designated Event, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (plus Additional Interest, if any) to, but excluding, the Designated Event Repurchase Date; provided, however, that if the Designated Event Repurchase Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Issuer will pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any (plus Additional Interest, if any), on such interest payment date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding Record Date, and the repurchase price will be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased.

(b) On or before the twentieth calendar day after the occurrence of a Designated Event, the Issuer shall mail (or send by electronic transmission) or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) to all Holders of record on the date of the Designated Event (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) an Issuer Repurchase Notice as set forth in Section 3.07 with respect to such Designated Event. The Issuer shall also deliver a copy of the Issuer Repurchase Notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent at such time as it is mailed to Noteholders. In addition to the mailing of such Issuer Repurchase Notice, the Issuer shall disseminate a press release through Dow ▇▇▇▇▇ & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg Business News announcing the occurrence of such Designated Event or publish such information in The Wall Street Journal or another newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or on the Guarantor’s website, or through such other public medium as the Issuer shall deem appropriate at such time.

No failure of the Issuer to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.05.

(c) For a Note to be repurchased at the option of the Holder pursuant to this Section 3.05(c), the Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Designated Event Repurchase Date, (i) a written notice of repurchase (the “Designated Event Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note duly completed (if the Note is certificated) or stating the following (if the Note is represented by a Global Note): (A) the certificate number of the Note that the Holder will deliver to be repurchased (if the Note is certificated) or that the relevant Designated Event Repurchase Notice complies with the appropriate Depositary procedures (if the Note is represented by a Global Note), (B) the portion of the principal amount of the Note which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 (provided that the remaining principal amount of Notes not subject to repurchase must be in an authorized denomination) and (C) that such Note shall be repurchased as of the Designated Event Repurchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Note and in this Indenture; together with (ii) such Notes duly endorsed for transfer (if the Note if certificated) or book-entry transfer of such Note (if such Note is represented by a Global Note). The delivery of such Note to the Paying Agent with, or at any time after delivery of, the Designated Event Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the repurchase price therefor; provided, however, that such repurchase price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.05 only if the Notes so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the Designated Event Repurchase Notice. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Note for repurchase shall be determined by the Issuer, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error.

(d) The Issuer, if so requested, shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.05, a portion of a Note, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Note also apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Note.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.05 if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured, on or prior to the relevant Designated Event Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the repurchase price pursuant to this Section 3.05 with respect to the Notes to be repurchased).

(f) The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of the receipt by it of any Designated Event Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(g) The Issuer may arrange for a third party to purchase the Notes (provided that the Trustee is so notified by the Issuer promptly) for which the Issuer receives a valid Designated Event Repurchase Notice that is not withdrawn, in the manner and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein. If a third party purchases any Notes under these circumstances, interest will continue to accrue on such Notes and such Notes will continue to be outstanding after the Designated Event Repurchase Date and will be fungible with all other Notes outstanding. The third party subsequently may resell such purchased Notes to other investors.

Any repurchase by the Issuer contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder (i) on the Designated Event Repurchase Date if the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Notes to the Paying Agent is effected prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Designated Event Repurchase Date, and (ii) if delivered later, within two (2) Business Days following the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Note. Payment of the repurchase price for a Note for which a Designated Event Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn is conditioned upon book-entry transfer or delivery of the Notes, together with necessary endorsements, to the Paying Agent.

Section 3.06. Repurchase of Notes at the Option of Holders on Certain Dates.

The Issuer shall also deliver a copy of the Issuer Repurchase Notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent at such time as it is sent to Noteholders. In addition to the sending of such Issuer Repurchase Notice, the Issuer shall disseminate a press release through Dow ▇▇▇▇▇

The delivery of such Note to the Paying Agent with, or at any time after delivery of, the Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the repurchase price therefore; provided, however, that such repurchase price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.06 only if the Notes so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the Repurchase Notice. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Note for repurchase shall be determined by the Issuer, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error.

(d) The Issuer, if so requested, shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.06, a portion of a Note, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a Note also apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Note.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.06 if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cured, on or prior to the relevant Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Issuer in the payment of the repurchase price pursuant to this Section 3.06 with respect to the Notes to be repurchased).

(f) The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer of the receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

The third party subsequently may resell such purchased Notes to other investors.

Any repurchase by the Issuer contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder (i) on the Repurchase Date if the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Notes to the Paying Agent is effected prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date, and (ii) if delivered later, within two (2) Business Days following the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Note.

The Issuer will maintain an office or agency, where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or for exchange, redemption or repurchase and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.

The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency not designated or appointed by the Trustee. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate co-registrars and one or more offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the

Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Issuer hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and Exchange Agent, and the Corporate Trust Office shall be considered as one such office or agency of the Issuer for each of the aforesaid purposes.

So long as the Trustee is the Note Registrar, the Trustee agrees to mail (or send by electronic transmission), or cause to be mailed, the notices set forth in Section 7.10 and the third paragraph of Section 7.11. If co-registrars have been appointed in accordance with this Section, the Trustee shall mail such notices only to the Issuer and the Holders of Notes it can identify from its records.

Section 4.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

Section 4.04. Provisions as to Paying Agent.

Section 4.06. Rule 144A Information Requirement. If so required by Rule 144A, the Guarantor and the Issuer will promptly furnish to the Holders, beneficial owners and prospective purchasers of the Notes and of any Common Stock delivered upon exchange of the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) to facilitate the resale of the Notes and the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A.

Section 4.07. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and the Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

In case one or more of the following (“Events of Default”) (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) shall have occurred and be continuing:

(f) the Issuer fails to provide on a timely basis an Issuer Repurchase Notice after the occurrence of a Designated Event as provided in Section 3.05(b) and Section 3.07(b); or

(g) the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or under or within meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) commences a voluntary case or proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary or its debts or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary or any substantial part of the property of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary; or

(ii) consents to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary; or

(iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

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

(h) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Issuer, the Guarantor or

a Significant Subsidiary or any substantial part of the property of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of thirty (30) calendar days; or

(i) is for relief against the Issuer, the Guarantor or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding; or

(ii) appoints a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary or any substantial part of the property of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer, the Guarantor or a Significant Subsidiary; and, in each case in this clause (i), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for thirty (30) calendar days;

then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g), 6.01(h) and 6.01(i) with respect to the Issuer), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Noteholders), may declare the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable, and upon any such declaration the same shall be immediately due and payable.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g), 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest accrued and unpaid on all the Notes shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without necessity of further action.

If, at any time after the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, subject in all respects to Section 6.07, if: (a) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest that have become due solely because of such acceleration, have been cured or waived and (b) the Issuer has deposited with the Trustee all required payments of the principal of and interest on the Notes and paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances pursuant to Section 7.06. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. The Issuer shall notify in writing a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, promptly upon becoming aware thereof, of any Event of Default, as provided in Section 4.08.

The sole remedy for any violation of any obligations the Issuer or the General Partner may be deemed to have pursuant to section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or for Guarantor’s breach of Section 5.04 shall be the accrual of Additional Interest on the Notes in the manner set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement as if such deemed violation were a registration default at a rate of 0.25% per annum, payable semiannually. In no event shall Additional Interest accrue at a per annum rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to both this Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest.

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 waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

Section 6.02. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. The Issuer covenants that in the case of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b), upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, (i) the whole amount that then shall be due and payable on all such Notes for principal and premium, if any, or interest, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest at the rate borne by the Notes, plus 1%, from the required payment date and, (ii) in addition thereto, any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the registered Holders, whether or not the Notes are overdue.

In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes under any Bankruptcy Law, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or such other obligor, the property of the Issuer or such other obligor, or in the case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or

otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06, and to take any other action with respect to such claims, including participating as a member of any official committee of creditors, as it reasonably deems necessary or advisable, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders 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 Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including counsel fees and expenses incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements 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, monies, securities and other property which the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or 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 Holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

Section 6.03. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6, shall be applied, in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 6.04. Proceedings by Noteholders. No Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, unless (a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, (b) the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable security or indemnity as it may require against the costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred therein or thereby, (c) the Trustee for sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and (d) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by reference to any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Notes, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Notes (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.04, each and every Noteholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder of any Note to receive payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price or repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3) and premium, if any, and accrued interest on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such

Note or in the event of redemption or repurchase, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates against the Issuer shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Anything contained in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder of any Note, without the consent of either the Trustee or the Holder of any other Note, in its own behalf and for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to enforce, its rights of exchange pursuant to Article 13 as provided herein.

Section 6.05. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 6.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Noteholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default or Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein, and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders.

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding 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 (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (b) the Trustee may take any other action which is not inconsistent with such direction, (c) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would benefit some Noteholders to the detriment of other Noteholders and (d) the Trustee may decline to take any action that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price or repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3), premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, (ii) a failure by the Issuer to exchange any

Upon any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

ARTICLE 7
The Trustee

Section 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), 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 its own affairs.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, 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 6.09, any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment

Section 7.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee 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 of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amount 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 trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that in the case of any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or any authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that is provided in the Notes or in this Indenture; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, exchange or consolidation.

Section 7.13. Preferential Collection of Claims. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of the claims against the Issuer (or any such other obligor).

Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer, any other obligor on the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer 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. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons, and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

Section 10.03. Guarantor May Consolidate on Certain Terms. Nothing contained in this Indenture or in the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Guarantor with or into any other Person or Persons (whether or not affiliated with the Guarantor), or successive consolidations or mergers in which either the Guarantor will be the continuing entity or the Guarantor or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the property of the Guarantor, to any other Person (whether or not affiliated with the Guarantor); provided, however, that:

(a) the Guarantor shall be the continuing entity, or the successor entity (if other than the Guarantor) formed by or resulting from any consolidation or merger or which shall have received the transfer of assets shall expressly assume the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions in this Indenture;

(c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and

(d) each of the Guarantor and the successor Person has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate of the Guarantor and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, sale, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture comply with this Article 10 and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

No such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease shall be permitted by this Section 10.03 unless prior thereto the Guarantor shall have delivered to the Trustee a Guarantor’s Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect thereafter.

Section 10.04. Guarantor Successor to Be Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger or any sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Guarantor to any Person in accordance with this Section 10.04, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged or to which such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Guarantor herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be released and discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture.

Section 10.05. Assumption by Guarantor. The Guarantor, or a Subsidiary thereof, may directly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on all the Notes and the performance of every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be performed or observed. Upon any such assumption, the Guarantor or such Subsidiary shall succeed to, and be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if the Guarantor or such Subsidiary had been named as the Issuer herein and the Issuer shall be released from all obligations and covenants with respect to the Notes. No such assumption shall be permitted unless the Guarantor has delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate of the Guarantor and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such assumption and supplemental indenture comply with this Article 10, and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with and that, in the event of assumption by a Subsidiary, the Guarantee and all other covenants of the Guarantor herein remain in full force and effect and (ii) an opinion of independent counsel that the Holders of Notes shall have no materially adverse United States federal tax consequences as a result of such assumption, and that, if any Notes are then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, that such Notes shall not be delisted as a result of such assumption.

ARTICLE 11
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

Section 11.01. Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of exchange, registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for and except as further provided below), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when (a) either: (1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 11.04 and (ii) Notes for whose payment monies have theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer as provided in Section 11.04) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (2) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, whether at the Maturity Date, Repurchase Date or Designated Event Repurchase Date or upon exchange or otherwise, or (ii) are to be called for redemption under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer, in the case of clause (1) or (2) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee a Paying Agent or the Exchange Agent (other than the Issuer or any of its Affiliates), as applicable, as trust funds in trust cash and/or shares of Common Stock (as applicable under the terms of the Indenture) in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Designated Event Repurchase Date, as the case may be; provided, however, that there shall not

exist, on the date of such deposit, a default or Event of Default; provided, further, that such deposit 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 Issuer is a party or to which the Issuer is bound; (b) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer; and (c) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under Section 7.06 shall survive and, if monies shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 3.05, 3.06, 5.01, Article 13 and this Article 11, shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full.

Section 11.02. Deposited Monies to Be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 11.04, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05 shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Noteholders, and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer if acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal, premium, if any, and interest. All monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.05 (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Notes subsequently exchanged shall be returned to the Issuer upon request. The Trustee is not responsible to anyone for interest on any deposited funds except as agreed in writing.

Section 11.03. Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.04, the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall hold in trust, for the benefit of the Noteholders, all monies deposited with it pursuant to Section 11.01 and shall apply the deposited monies in accordance with this Indenture and the Notes to the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price or repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3) and interest on the Notes.

Section 11.04. Return of Unclaimed Monies. The Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any monies held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after a right to such monies have matured; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such payment, may, at the expense of the Issuer, either publish in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York, or cause to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) to each Holder entitled to such monies, notice that such monies remain unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall be at least thirty (30) calendar days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of such monies then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to monies must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall be relieved of all liability with respect to such monies.

Section 11.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any monies in accordance with Section 11.02 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or

governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such monies in accordance with Section 11.02; provided that if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the monies held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 12
Immunity of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors

Section 12.01. Indenture and Notes Solely Corporate Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Article 15, no recourse for the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price or repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3) or, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the General Partner, the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries or any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Notes.

ARTICLE 13
Exchange of Notes

Section 13.01. Right to Exchange. (a) Subject to the restrictions on ownership of shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 13.11 and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Holder of any Notes not previously redeemed or repurchased shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange its Notes, or any portion thereof which is a multiple of $1,000, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Exchange Rate.

(b) A Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Designated Event Repurchase Notice or Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, exercising such Holder’s right to require the Issuer to repurchase such Note pursuant to Section 3.05 or 3.06 may be exchanged only if such Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08 prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately prior to the Repurchase Date or on the second Business Day immediately prior to the Designated Event Repurchase Date, as applicable.

(c) A Holder of Notes is not entitled to any rights of a Holder of Common Stock until such Holder has exchanged its Notes and received upon exchange thereof shares of Common Stock.

Section 13.02. Exercise of Exchange Right; No Adjustment for Interest or Dividends. In order to exercise the exchange right with respect to any Note in certificated form, the Issuer must receive at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose, such Note with the original or facsimile of the form entitled “Exchange Notice” on the reverse thereof, duly completed and signed manually or by facsimile, together with such Notes duly endorsed for transfer, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by this Section 13.02. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable on such exchange shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 13.06.

To exchange the Notes, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the Exchange Notice on the reverse of the Note (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and deliver such notice to the Exchange Agent at the office maintained by the Exchange Agent for such purpose, (b) with respect to Notes that are in certificated form, surrender the Notes to the Exchange Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Exchange Agent and (d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required. The date on which the Holder satisfies all such requirements shall be deemed to be the date on which the applicable Notes shall have been tendered for exchange.

Whether the Notes to be exchanged are held in book-entry or certificated form, the Exchange Notice will require the Holder to certify that it or the Person on whose behalf the Notes are being exchanged is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

Notes in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Repurchase Notice or a Designated Event Repurchase Notice may be exchanged only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 or Section 3.06, as the case may be.

Upon surrender of a Note for exchange by a Holder, such Holder shall deliver to the Issuer cash equal to the amount that the Issuer is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law in connection with the exchange; provided, however, if the Holder does not deliver such cash, the Issuer may deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to such Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

As promptly as practicable (but no later than the fifth Business Day following the Exchange Date), after satisfaction of the requirements for exchange set forth above, subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on exchange are to be issued in a name other than that of the Noteholder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Note or Notes (or portion thereof) so exchanged), and in accordance with the time periods set forth in this Article 13, the Issuer shall issue and shall deliver to such Noteholder at the office or agency maintained by the Issuer for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of such Note or

portion thereof as determined by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13.01 and 13.10 and (ii) a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such exchange, calculated by the Issuer as provided in Section 13.03. The certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock into which the Notes are exchanged (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) will be delivered to an exchanging Holder after satisfaction of the requirements for exchange set forth above, in accordance with this Section 13.02 and Section 13.10.

Each exchange shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Note (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 13.02 have been satisfied as to such Note (or portion thereof) (the “Exchange Date”), and the Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such exchange shall be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Guarantor shall be closed shall constitute the Person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such exchange shall be at the Exchange Rate in effect on the Exchange Date.

Any Note or portion thereof surrendered for exchange during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date for any interest payment date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable interest payment date shall be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Issuer, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being exchanged; provided that no such payment need be made (1) if a Holder exchanges its Notes in connection with a redemption and the Issuer has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, (2) if a Holder exchanges its Notes in connection with a Designated Event and the Issuer has specified a Designated Event Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, (3) to the extent of any overdue interest or Additional Interest, if any overdue interest or Additional Interest exists at the time of exchange with respect to such Note or (4) in connection with any exchange following the regular Record Date immediately preceding the final interest payment date. Except as otherwise provided above in this Article 13, no payment or other adjustment shall be made for interest accrued on any Note exchanged or for dividends on any shares issued upon the exchange of such Note as provided in this Article 13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Notes submitted for exchange in connection with a Designated Event, such Notes shall continue to represent the right to receive the Additional Designated Event Shares, if any, payable pursuant to Section 13.10, until such Additional Designated Event Shares are so paid.

Upon the exchange of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee (or other Exchange Agent appointed by the Issuer), or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee (or other Exchange Agent appointed by the Issuer), shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of any exchanges of Notes effected through any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee.

Upon the exchange of a Note, the accrued but unpaid interest attributable to the period from the issue date of the Note to the Exchange Date, with respect to the exchanged Note, shall not be deemed canceled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of shares of Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any in lieu of fractional shares) in exchange for the Note being exchanged pursuant to the provisions hereof.

In case any Note of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial exchange, and subject to Section 2.04, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to the Holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unexchanged portion of the surrendered Note.

Section 13.03. Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip certificates representing fractional shares shall be issued upon exchange of Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for exchange at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon exchange shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the exchange of any Note or Notes, the Issuer shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash to the Holder of Notes at a price equal to the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Exchange Date.

Section 13.04. Exchange Rate. The initial Exchange Rate for the Notes is 55.0782 shares of Common Stock per each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 13.05 and 13.10 (herein called the “Exchange Rate”).

Section 13.05. Adjustment of Exchange Rate. The Exchange Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Issuer as follows:

(a) If the Guarantor issues the Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, or if the Guarantor effects a share split or share combination, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

ER₁ = ER₀ × OS₁/OS₀

where

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination;

ER₁ = the new Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination;

OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination; and

OS₁ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective on the date that is immediately after (x) the ex-dividend date for such dividend or other distribution or (y) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

If the Guarantor makes a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock that allows holders to elect between cash and/or shares of Common Stock, adjustments to the Exchange Rate will be made pursuant to this Section 13.05(a) only, and shall be made as if the entire dividend amount declared by the Guarantor will be distributed in shares of Common Stock (notwithstanding the actual component of such distribution consisting of shares of Common Stock), and no further adjustments or readjustments shall be made with respect to such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, in the event the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with such dividend or distribution is determined based on an averaging period, the adjustment pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective on the date that is immediately after the last day of such averaging period.

(b) If the Guarantor distributes to all holders of Common Stock any rights, warrants or options entitling them for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days after the date of issuance thereof, in either case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

ER₁ = ER₀ × (OS₀ + X)/(OS₀ + Y)

where

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

ER₁ = the new Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

X = the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or options; and

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or options and (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for the issuance of such rights, warrants or options.

For purposes of this paragraph (b), in determining whether any rights, warrants or options entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than the applicable Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Guarantor for such rights, warrants or options and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. If any right, warrant or option described in this paragraph (b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant or option had not been so issued.

(c) If the Guarantor distributes shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Guarantor to all holders of Common Stock, excluding:

(A) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants or options referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) above;

(B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and

then the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

ER₁ = ER₀ × SP₀/(SP₀ - FMV)

where

ER₀= the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

ER₁ = the new Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

SP₀ = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of the record date or the ex-dividend date for such distribution; and

FMV = the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or

property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the earlier of the record date or the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

provided that if “FMV” with respect to any distribution of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Guarantor is equal to or greater than “SP₀” with respect to such distribution, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Notes shall have the right to receive on the date such shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Guarantor are distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each Note, the amount of shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Guarantor such Holder of Notes would have received had such Holder of Notes owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the product of the Exchange Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such distribution, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such Holder and the denominator of which is one thousand ($1,000).

An adjustment to the Exchange Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall become effective on the ex-dividend date for such distribution.

If the Guarantor distributes to all holders of Common Stock capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Guarantor (a “Spin-Off”), the Exchange Rate in effect immediately before the tenth Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off will be adjusted based on the following formula:

ER₁ = ER₀ × (FMV₀ + MP₀)/MP₀

where

ER₀= the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the tenth Trading Day immediately following and including the effective date of the Spin-Off;

ER₁= the new Exchange Rate immediately after the tenth Trading Day immediately following and including the effective date of the Spin-Off;

FMV₀ = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off; and

MP₀ = the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first ten (10) consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off.

An adjustment to the Exchange Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph will occur on the tenth Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any exchange within the ten (10) Trading Days following the effective date of any Spin-Off, references within this paragraph (c) to ten (10) Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the

effective date of such Spin-Off and the Exchange Date in determining the Applicable Exchange Rate.

If any such dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (c) is declared but not paid or made, the new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(d) If the Guarantor makes any cash dividend or distribution to all holders of outstanding Common Stock (excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer) during any of its quarterly fiscal periods in an aggregate amount that, together with other cash dividends or distributions made during such quarterly fiscal period, exceeds the product of $0.14 (the “Reference Dividend”) multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date for such distribution, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

ER₁ = ER₀ × SP₀ /(SP₀ - C)

where

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

ER₁ = the new Exchange Rate immediately after the ex-dividend date for such distribution;

C = the amount in cash per share that the Guarantor distributes to holders of Common Stock that exceeds the Reference Dividend;

provided that if “C” with respect to any such cash dividend or distribution is equal to or greater than “SP₀” with respect to any such cash dividend or distribution, then in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Notes shall have the right to receive on the date such cash is distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each Note, the amount of cash such Holder of Notes would have received had such Holder of Notes owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the product of the Exchange Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such Holder and the denominator of which is one thousand ($1,000).

An adjustment to the Exchange Rate made pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall become effective on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (d) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

The Reference Dividend amount is subject to adjustment on account of any of the events set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 13.05. Any such adjustment will be effected by multiplying the Reference Dividend by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment on account of such event and the denominator of which shall equal the Exchange Rate as adjusted; provided that no adjustment will be made to the Reference Dividend amount for any adjustment made to the Exchange Rate under this paragraph (d).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an adjustment is required to be made under this paragraph as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend, the Reference Dividend will be deemed to be zero.

(e) If the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

ER₁ = ER₀ × (AC + (SP_I × OS₁))/(SP₁ × OS₀)

where

ER₀ = the Exchange Rate in effect on the day immediately following the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires;

ER₁ = the Exchange Rate in effect on the second day immediately following the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires;

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for the Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires;

OS₁ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer); and

SP₁ = the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires.

If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made.

Any adjustment to the Exchange Rate made pursuant to this paragraph (e) shall become effective on the second Business Day immediately following the Expiration Time. If the Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any adjustment to the Exchange Rate made pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (e) above becomes effective on any ex-dividend date or effective date and a Holder that has exchanged its Notes would (1) receive shares of Common Stock based on an adjusted Exchange Rate and (2) be a record holder for shares of Common Stock on the record date for the dividend, distribution, or other event giving rise to the adjustment, then in lieu of receiving shares of Common Stock at the adjusted Exchange Rate, such Holder will receive a number of shares of Common Stock based on an unadjusted Exchange Rate and will participate in the dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to the adjustment.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13.05, in the event of an adjustment to the Exchange Rate pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) above, in no event will the Exchange Rate exceed 110.1564 (the “Maximum Exchange Rate”). The Maximum Exchange Rate shall be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the Exchange Rate is adjusted pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) above.

(h) If the Guarantor has in effect a stockholder’s rights plan while any Notes remain outstanding, Holders of Notes will receive, upon an exchange of Notes, in addition to Common Stock, rights under the Guarantor’s stockholder rights plan unless, prior to exchange, the rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed or unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock. If the rights provided for in the stockholder’s rights plan adopted by the Guarantor have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement so that Holders of Notes would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of any Common Stock that the Issuer delivers upon an exchange of Notes, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Guarantor had distributed, to all holders of Common Stock, capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to paragraph (c) above, subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights. In lieu of any such adjustment, the Guarantor may amend such applicable stockholder’s rights plan to provide that upon an exchange of Notes, the Holders will receive, in addition to shares of Common Stock that the Issuer delivers upon exchange, the rights which would be attached to such Common Stock if the rights had not become separated from the Common Stock under such applicable stockholder’s rights plan.

In addition to the adjustments pursuant to paragraphs (a) through (e) above subject to the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Issuer may increase the Exchange Rate in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of capital stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Issuer may also, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange, increase the Exchange Rate by any amount for any period if the Issuer has determined that such increase

would be in the best interests of the Issuer or the Guarantor. If the Issuer makes such determination, it will be conclusive and the Issuer will mail to Holders of the Notes a notice of the increased Exchange Rate and the period during which it will be in effect at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Exchange Rate takes effect in accordance with applicable law.

The Issuer shall not make any adjustment to the Exchange Rate if Holders of the Notes participate in the dividend, distribution or transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Exchange Rate at the same time as holders of the Common Stock and as if such Holders of Notes owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the product of the Exchange Rate in effect on the ex-dividend date or effective date for the relevant dividend, distribution or transaction, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such Holder and the denominator of which is one thousand ($1,000).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in addition to the other events set forth herein on account of which no adjustment to the Exchange Rate shall be made, the Applicable Exchange Rate shall not be adjusted for:

(i) the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Issuer or those of the Guarantor and the investment of additional optional amounts in the Common Stock under any plan;

(ii) the issuance of any Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director, trustee or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Issuer or the Guarantor;

(iii) the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(iv) a change in the par value of the Common Stock;

(v) accrued and unpaid interest (or Additional Interest, if applicable);

(vi) accumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions; and

(vii) the issuance of Units by the Issuer and the issuance of the Common Stock or the payment of cash upon redemption thereof.

No adjustment in the Exchange Rate will be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Exchange Rate. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Exchange Rate by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/1000th of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon exchange of the Notes, upon required repurchase of the Notes in connection with a Designated Event pursuant to Section 3.05, upon redemption of the

Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 and five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, all adjustments not previously made will be made.

Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Guarantor or the Issuer shall as promptly as reasonably practicable file with the Trustee and any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Exchange Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Guarantor or the Issuer shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate setting forth the adjusted Exchange Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Exchange Rate to the Holders of the Notes within twenty (20) Business Days of the Effective Date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

For purposes of this Section 13.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Guarantor but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(i) If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination to which Section 13.05(a) applies), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Guarantor with another Person, or a binding share exchange in respect of all of the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Guarantor to any other Person, in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or assets (“Reference Property”) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then:

(a) the Guarantor or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Issuer and the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing for the exchange of the Notes as set forth in this Indenture into the Reference Property. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 13.05; and

(b) in the event a supplemental indenture should be executed pursuant to this Section 13.05, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefore, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise the Reference Property after any such event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and the Guarantor shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder of Notes within twenty (20) Business Days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If the provisions of this paragraph applies to any event or occurrence, then the provisions of Section 13.05(a) through (h) shall not apply.

Section 13.06. Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates, if any, on exchange of Notes shall be made without charge to the exchanging Noteholder for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Issuer shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the Holder of any Note exchanged, and the Issuer shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Issuer the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax has been paid.

Section 13.07. Reservation of Shares, Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Listing of Common Stock. The Guarantor shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the exchange of the Notes as required by this Indenture from time to time as such Notes are presented for exchange.

The Guarantor covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exchange of Notes will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Guarantor and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

The Guarantor covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of exchange of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon exchange, the Guarantor shall, as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

The Guarantor further covenants that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on The New York Stock Exchange or any other national or regional securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Guarantor will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all the Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes; provided that if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Guarantor to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first exchange of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantor covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time.

Section 13.08. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Exchange Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Exchange Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any capital stock, other securities or other assets or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exchange of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Issuer to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of exchange or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Issuer contained in this Article 13. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 13.05 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of capital stock or other securities or other assets or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the exchange of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 13.05 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01,

may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Issuer shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Section 13.09. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:

(a) the Guarantor shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 13.05; or

(b) the Guarantor shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or

(c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation, combination, merger or share exchange to which the Issuer or the Guarantor is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Guarantor is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor; or

(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Guarantor;

the Issuer shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed (or sent by electronic transmission) to each Holder of Notes at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 2.05 of this Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Section 13.10. Exchange Rate Adjustment After Certain Designated Events. (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, if a Noteholder elects to exchange its Notes following the occurrence of a transaction described in clause (1) of the definition of Designated Event that occurs on or prior to January 21, 2015, the Issuer will increase the Applicable Exchange Rate for the Notes so surrendered for exchange (the “Additional Designated Event Shares”) as specified below; provided that the Additional Designated Event Shares will only be payable as set forth below. An exchange of Notes will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such a Designated Event if the Exchange Notice is received by the Exchange Agent from and including

the Effective Date of the Designated Event until the corresponding Designated Event Repurchase Date.

(b) The number of Additional Designated Event Shares will be determined by reference to the table in paragraph (e) below and is based on the date on which the relevant Designated Event transaction becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share of Common Stock in such transaction. If the holders of Common Stock receive only cash in the relevant Designated Event transaction, the Stock Price will equal the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. In all other cases, the Stock Price will equal the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the ten consecutive Trading Days up to but excluding the Effective Date.

(c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first column of the table below (i.e., the row titles) shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate of the Notes is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Exchange Rate as so adjusted.

(d) The number of Additional Designated Event Shares will be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the Exchange Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an adjustment to the Exchange Rate pursuant to this Section 13.10, in no event will the total number of shares issuable upon exchange in connection with such Designated Event exceed 66.0938 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner and for the same events as set forth in Section 13.05.

(e) The following table sets forth the Stock Price and number of Additional Designated Event Shares issuable per $1,000 principal amount of Notes:


	Effective Date
Stock Price	1/11/2010		1/15/2011		1/15/2012		1/15/2013		1/15/2014		1/21/2015

$50.00		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000

(f) If the exact Stock Price and Effective Date are not set forth on the table above, then:

(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Designated Event Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of

Additional Designated Event Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(ii) if the Stock Price is equal to or in excess of $50.00 per share of Common Stock (the “Make Whole Cap”) no additional Designated Event Shares will be issued upon exchange; and

(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $15.13 per share of Common Stock (the “Make Whole Floor”) no additional Designated Event Shares will be issued upon exchange.

The Make Whole Cap and Make Whole Floor shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate of the Notes is adjusted pursuant to Section 13.05. The adjusted Make Whole Cap or Make Whole Floor, as the case may be, shall equal the Make Whole Cap or Make Whole Floor, as the case may be, applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Exchange Rate as so adjusted.

Section 13.11. Ownership Limit. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes, no Holders of Notes shall be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock upon an exchange of Notes to the extent that receipt of such shares would cause such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates) to exceed the ownership limit contained in Article VI of the Charter. Any attempted exchange of Notes in excess of the ownership limit shall be void to the extent of such excess, and the related Notes or portions thereof shall be returned to the Holder as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that if the Maturity Date or a Redemption Date with respect to such Notes occurs prior to the return of such Notes to the Holder, the Issuer will not return such Notes and will instead pay the Holder the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on (including Additional Interest, if any), such Notes or the Redemption Price for such Notes, as the case may be, in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes. The Issuer will have no further obligation to the Holder with respect to such voided exchange and such Notes will be treated as if they had not been submitted for exchange. A Holder of returned Notes may resubmit those Notes for exchange at a later date subject to compliance with the terms of this Indenture, including the ownership limitations.

(b) At the Maturity Date or upon earlier redemption or repurchase of the Notes or otherwise, and as otherwise required by law, the Issuer may deduct and withhold from the amount of consideration otherwise deliverable to the Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

Section 13.12. Calculation in Respect of Notes. Except as otherwise specifically stated herein or in the Notes, all calculations to be made in respect of the Notes shall be the obligation of the Issuer. All calculations made by the Issuer or its agent as contemplated pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Notes shall be made in good faith and be final and binding on the Notes and the Holders of the Notes absent manifest error. The Issuer shall provide a schedule of calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the

calculations by the Issuer without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward calculations made by the Issuer to any Holder of Notes upon request.

Section 13.13. Surrender to Financial Institution in Lieu of Exchange. When a Holder surrenders Notes for exchange, the Issuer may direct the Exchange Agent to surrender such Notes to a financial institution designated by the Issuer for transfer in lieu of exchange. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for exchange, the designated financial institution must agree to deliver, in exchange for such Notes, a number of shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes equal to the Exchange Rate and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock, based upon the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Exchange Date (or if the Exchange Date is not a Trading Day, the next following Trading Day). By the close of business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date, the Issuer will notify the Holder surrendering Notes for exchange that the Issuer has directed the designated financial institution to accept the Notes in lieu of exchange.

If the designated financial institution accepts any such Notes, it will deliver the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares) to the Exchange Agent and the Exchange Agent will deliver those shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares) to the Holder. Any Notes accepted by the designated financial institution will remain outstanding. If the designated financial institution agrees to accept any Notes but does not timely deliver the related consideration, or if such designated financial institution does not accept the Notes, the Issuer will, as promptly as practical thereafter, but not later than the third Business Day following the Exchange Date, exchange the Notes for shares of Common Stock, as described in Section 13.02.

The Issuer’s designation of a financial institution to which the Notes may be surrendered in lieu of exchange does not require the financial institution to accept any Notes. The Issuer will not pay any consideration to, or otherwise enter into any agreement with, the designated financial institution for or with respect to such designation.

ARTICLE 14

Section 14.01. Purposes for Which Meetings May Be Called.

present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Notes duly held in accordance with this Section 14.04 shall be binding on all the Holders of Notes, whether or not such Holders were present or represented at the meeting.

Section 14.05. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Notes in regard to proof of the holding of Notes and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Notes shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.03 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.01.

(b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Issuer or by Holders of Notes as provided in Section 14.02(b), in which case the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Holders of Notes calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series represented at the meeting.

(c) At any meeting, each Holder of a Note or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Note challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Note or proxy.

(d) Any meeting of Holders of Notes duly called pursuant to Section 14.02 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

Section 14.06. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Notes shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Notes or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the outstanding Notes held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Notes shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the

Section 15.01. Guarantee. By its execution hereof, the Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it receives substantial benefits from the Issuer and that the Guarantor is providing its Guarantee for good and valuable consideration, including, without limitation, such substantial benefits. Accordingly, subject to the provisions of this Article 15, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and its successors and assigns that: (i) the principal of (including the Redemption Price or repurchase price upon redemption or repurchase pursuant to Article 3), premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at the Maturity Date, upon acceleration, upon redemption, upon a repurchase, upon repurchase due to a Designated Event or otherwise, and interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, Additional Interest, if any, and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on any interest, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes (including fees, expenses or other) shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at the Maturity Date, by acceleration, call for redemption, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ due to a Designated Event or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 15.03 hereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”).

Subject to the provisions of this Article 15, the Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any thereof, the entry of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes: (a) any right to require the Trustee, the Holders or the Issuer (each, a “Benefited Party”) to proceed against the Issuer or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by a Benefited Party at any time or to pursue any other remedy in any secured party’s power before proceeding against the Guarantor; (b) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of a Benefited Party to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons; (c) demand, protest and notice of any kind (except as expressly required by this Indenture), including but not limited to notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of the Guarantor, the Issuer,

any Benefited Party, any creditor of the Guarantor or the Issuer or on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any obligations the performance of which are hereby guaranteed; (d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by a Benefited Party, including but not limited to an election to proceed against the Guarantor for reimbursement; (e) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (f) any defense arising because of a Benefited Party’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Law, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (g) any defense based on any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Guarantor hereby covenants that, except as otherwise provided therein, the Guarantee shall not be discharged except by payment in full of all Guarantee Obligations, including the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other costs provided for under this Indenture or as provided in Article 7.

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to either the Issuer or the Guarantor, or any trustee or similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or the Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guarantee Obligations hereby until payment in full of all such obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes hereof, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantee Obligations, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such Guarantee Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee.

Section 15.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 15.01 hereof, the Guarantor agrees that a notation of the Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit A hereto shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an officer of the Guarantor.

The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantee set forth in this Article 15 shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Guarantee.

If an officer whose facsimile signature is on a Note or a notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

Section 15.03. Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability; Certain Bankruptcy Events. (a) The Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of

all such parties that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under this Article 15 shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor, result in the Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(b) The Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees, to the fullest extent that it may do so under applicable law, that in the event of the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer, the Guarantor shall not file (or join in any filing of), or otherwise seek to participate in the filing of, any motion or request seeking to stay or to prohibit (even temporarily) execution on the Guarantee and hereby waives and agrees not to take the benefit of any such stay of execution, whether under Section 362 or 105 of the Bankruptcy Law or otherwise.

Section 15.04. Application of Certain Terms and Provisions to the Guarantor. (a) For purposes of any provision of this Indenture which provides for the delivery by the Guarantor of an Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, the definitions of such terms in Section 1.01 hereof shall apply to the Guarantor as if references therein to the Issuer or the General Partner, as applicable, were references to the Guarantor.

(b) Any request, direction, order or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is to be made by the Guarantor shall be sufficient if evidenced as described in Section 16.03 hereof as if references therein to the Issuer were references to the Guarantor.

(c) Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders of Notes to or on the Guarantor may be given or served as described in Section 16.03 hereof as if references therein to the Issuer were references to the Guarantor.

(d) Upon any demand, request or application by the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as are required in Section 16.05 hereof as if all references therein to the Issuer were references to the Guarantor.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair, as among the Issuer and the Holder of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.

Subject to the restrictions on ownership of shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 13.11 of the Indenture and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Holder of any Notes not previously redeemed or repurchased shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange its Notes, or any portion thereof which is a multiple of $1,000, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged divided by $1,000, multiplied by (2) the Applicable Exchange Rate.

In the event the Holder surrenders this Note for exchange in connection with certain Designated Events occurring on or prior to January 21, 2015, the Issuer will increase the Applicable Exchange Rate by the Additional Designated Event Shares as and when provided in the Indenture.

Except as expressly provided in Article 15 of the Indenture, no recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Guarantor, the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Guarantor, the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of this Note.
