(FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY)

 

1.

INDENTURE

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 19, 2007, as supplemented and amended from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor to The Bank of New York), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$            ; provided, however, that the Company may create and issue further securities ranking pari passu with the Securities in all respects or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further securities and except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further securities. The Company may consolidate such further securities with the Securities to form a single series, having the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Securities.

All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

2.	OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

The Securities of this series are redeemable only in accordance with the following provisions:

(A) The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities, and

(ii) as determined by the Independent Investment Banker (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Securities (not including any portion of the payment of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points,

 

A-4

---

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date of redemption.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date.

“Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Dealers selected by the Company.

“Reference Dealer” means (1) ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities Inc. and its successors; provided, however, that if it shall cease to be a primary US Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), the Company shall substitute for it another Primary Treasury Dealer, and (2) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation” means, with respect to each Reference Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted by the Reference Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding that redemption date.

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

Installments of accrued and unpaid interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of the Securities of this series, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provision of the Indenture.

 

3.	MANDATORY REDEMPTION

 

A-5

---

The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities.

 

4.	OFFER TO PURCHASE

If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Securities, then the Company shall offer to repurchase from each Holder all or any part (equal to U.S.$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

 

5.	SATISFACTION, DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE

The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction, discharge and defeasance of (a) the entire indebtedness on this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

 

6.	DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

The Events of Default relating to the Securities of this series are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal, premium, if any, accrued but unpaid interest and any other monetary obligations of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of this series by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) may declare the principal of, premium, if any, accrued but unpaid interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then Outstanding Securities of this series to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all Outstanding Securities of this series will automatically become due and payable immediately without further action or notice on part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Upon payment of the amount of principal so declared due and payable, of premium, if any, and of overdue interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such series of Securities) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of this series, waive compliance with any term, provision, covenant or condition of the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee or the Securities of this series. Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series (including, without limitation, by consent obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such series of Securities) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of this series, waive past defaults under certain covenants of the Indenture which relate to this series. However, a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of this series or relating to a provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security of this series affected cannot be so waived. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

8.	DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

9.	TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
