W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Issuer has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee a Senior Debt Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2006 (the “Base Indenture”), providing for the issuance from time to time of one or more series of its senior unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (the “Securities”);

WHEREAS, the Issuer, pursuant to Section 7.01(e) of the Base Indenture, has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2006 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), supplementing the Base Indenture to establish the terms of the Issuer’s 0.25% Convertible Senior Debentures Due 2026 (the “Debentures”);

WHEREAS, the Issuer, pursuant to Section 7.01(e) of the Base Indenture, has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2006, supplementing the Base Indenture to establish the terms of the Issuer’s 5.550% Senior Notes due 2016 and 6.150% Senior Notes due 2036; and

WHEREAS, the Issuer, in accordance with Section 7.01(d) of the Base Indenture and Section 11.1 of the First Supplemental Indenture, proposes in and by this Third Supplemental Indenture to supplement the Indenture to cure an ambiguity, to correct a provision therein which may be defective and to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under the Indenture as the Issuer and the Guarantor deems necessary and which does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Debentures in any material respect, as this Third Supplemental Indenture conforms the provisions of the Indenture to the description of the Debentures contained in the Issuer’s prospectus supplement dated January 27, 2006, as further provided herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

The Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree as follows:

Section 2.8 Submission to Jurisdiction.

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Third Supplemental Indenture may be instituted in any federal or state court sitting in New York City, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any law suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor, as long as any of the Debentures remain Outstanding or the parties hereto have any obligation under this Third Supplemental Indenture, shall have an authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) in the United States upon whom process may be served in any such legal action or proceeding. Service of process upon such agent and written notice of such service mailed or delivered to it shall to the extent permitted by law be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such legal action or proceeding and, if it fails to maintain such agent, any such process or summons may be served by mailing a copy thereof by registered mail, or a form of mail substantially equivalent thereto, addressed to it at its address as provided for notices hereunder.
