An Officer of the Issuer shall sign the Debt Securities on behalf of the Issuer and, with respect to the Guarantee of the Debt Securities, an Officer of the Parent shall sign the Debt Securities on behalf of the Parent, in each case by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer of the Issuer or the Parent whose signature is on a Debt Security no longer holds that office at the time the Debt Security is authenticated, the Debt Security shall be valid nevertheless.

A Debt Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or the related Guarantee or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it is authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee, which signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Debt Security has been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer, and the Issuer delivers such Debt Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.13, together with an Officer’s Certificate (which need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Debt Security has never been issued and sold by the Issuer, for all purposes of this Indenture such Debt Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or the related Guarantee.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Debt Securities of any series executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities for original issue upon an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified from time to time by Issuer Order. Such order shall specify the amount of the Debt Securities to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Debt Securities is to be authenticated, the name or names of the initial Holder or Holders and any other terms of the Debt Securities of such series not otherwise determined. If provided for in such procedures, such Issuer Order may authorize (1) authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of such series for original issue from time to time, with certain terms (including, without limitation, the Maturity dates or dates, original issue date or dates and interest rate or rates) that differ from Debt Security to Debt Security and (2) authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Issuer or its duly authorized agent, which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing.

15

If the form or terms of the Debt Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Section 2.01, in authenticating such Debt Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Debt Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive (in addition to the Issuer Order referred to above and the other documents required by Section 11.04), and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(a)    an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Board Resolution and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant thereto, as contemplated by the last paragraph of Section 2.01; and

(b)    an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

(i)    the form of such Debt Securities has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(ii)    the terms of such Debt Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

(iii)    when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, such Debt Securities and the related Guarantee, if applicable, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer and the Parent, respectively, enforceable against the Issuer and the Parent, respectively, in accordance with their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws in effect from time to time affecting the rights of creditors generally, and the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

If all the Debt Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each such Debt Security, but such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Debt Security of the series to be issued.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debt Securities if the issuance of such Debt Securities pursuant to this Indenture would affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Debt Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Debt Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Debt Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuer, the Parent or an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Parent.

Each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

SECTION 2.05    Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency for each series of Debt Securities where Debt Securities of such series may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Debt Securities of such series may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Debt Securities of such series and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture.

The Issuer, the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Issuer may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.06    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Debt Securities and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon payment over to the Trustee and upon accounting for any funds disbursed, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer, the Parent or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer, the Parent, or a Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 317(b).

SECTION 2.07    Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar with respect to a series of Debt Securities, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Debt Securities, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of such series, and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

SECTION 2.08    Transfer and Exchange.

17

Except as set forth in Section 2.17 or as may be provided pursuant to Section 2.01:

When Debt Securities of any series are presented to the Registrar with the request to register the transfer of such Debt Securities or to exchange such Debt Securities for an equal principal amount of Debt Securities of the same series of like tenor and of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements and the requirements of this Indenture for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Debt Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing, on which instruction the Registrar can rely.

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer and the Parent shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Debt Securities at the Registrar’s written request and submission of the Debt Securities or Global Debt Securities. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.12, 3.07 or 9.05). The Trustee shall authenticate Debt Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, (i) the Issuer shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of (a) any Debt Security selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article III, except the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in part, or (b) any Debt Security during the period beginning 15 Business Days prior to the mailing of notice of any offer to repurchase Debt Securities of the series required pursuant to the terms thereof or of redemption of Debt Securities of a series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing; and (ii) the transfer of any Certificated Debt Securities and the right to receive the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on such Certificated Debt Securities shall only be effected by surrendering the certificate representing such Certificated Debt Securities and either reissuance by the Issuer or the Trustee of the certificate to the new Holder or the issuance by the Issuer or the Trustee of a new certificate to the new Holder.

Each Holder of a Debt Security agrees to indemnify the Issuer, the Trustee and the Parent against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Debt Securities in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States Federal or state securities law.

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 Debt Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Debt Security) 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 2.09    Replacement Debt Securities.

If any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Holder of a Debt Security claims that the Debt Security has been destroyed, lost or stolen and the Issuer and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security, the Issuer shall issue, and the Parent shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Debt Security of the same series if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Debt Security, pay such Debt Security. Such Holder must furnish an indemnity bond that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Parent, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Debt Security is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Debt Security.

Every replacement Debt Security is an additional obligation of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.10    Outstanding Debt Securities.

The Debt Securities outstanding at any time are all the Debt Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Debt Security effected by the Trustee hereunder and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding.

If a Debt Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Debt Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Debt Security is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

A Debt Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer, the Parent or an Affiliate of the Issuer or the Parent holds the Debt Security.

SECTION 2.11    Original Issue Discount, Foreign-Currency Denominated and Treasury Debt Securities.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Debt Securities have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, (a) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security shall be the principal amount thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02, (b) the principal amount of a Debt Security denominated in a foreign currency shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Issuer by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency, as such rate is certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the date of original issuance of such Debt Security, of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the Dollar equivalent, as determined by the Issuer by reference to the exchange rate on the date of original issuance of such Debt Security, of the amount determined as provided in clause (a) above), of such Debt Security and (c) Debt Securities owned by the Issuer, the Parent or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any Affiliate of the Issuer, of the Parent or of such other obligor

19

shall be disregarded, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Debt Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.12    Temporary Debt Securities.

Until definitive Debt Securities of any series are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Debt Securities. Temporary Debt Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Debt Securities, but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Debt Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and execute and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Debt Securities in exchange for temporary Debt Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debt Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities.

SECTION 2.13    Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Debt Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Debt Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or redemption or for credit against any sinking fund payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Debt Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption, replacement or cancellation or for credit against any sinking fund. All canceled Debt Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the customary procedures of the Trustee (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). The Issuer may not issue new Debt Securities to replace Debt Securities that have been paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.14    Payments; Defaulted Interest.

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.01, interest (except defaulted interest) on any Debt Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Persons who are registered Holders of that Debt Security at the close of business on the record date next preceding such Interest Payment Date, even if such Debt Securities are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. The Holder must surrender a Debt Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, the Issuer will pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Debt Securities in Dollars. Such amounts shall be payable at the offices of the Trustee or any Paying Agent, provided that at the option of the Issuer, the Issuer may pay such amounts (1) by wire transfer with respect to Global Debt Securities or (2) by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder’s registered address with respect to any Debt Securities.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Debt Securities of any series, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Debt Securities of such series and in

20

Section 4.01. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on the Debt Securities of any series and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date; provided that no special record date shall be required for interest paid within an applicable grace period. At least 10 days before any special record date selected by the Issuer, the Issuer (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer upon 5 days’ prior written notice from the Issuer setting forth such special record date and the interest amount to be paid) shall mail to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. The Trustee will have no duty whatsoever to determine whether any defaulted interest is payable or the amount thereof.

SECTION 2.15    Persons Deemed Owners.

The Issuer, the Parent, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent may treat the Person in whose name any Debt Security is registered as the owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of, premium (if any) or interest with respect to such Debt Security and for all other purposes. None of the Issuer, the Parent, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.16    Computation of Interest.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Debt Securities of any series, interest on the Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.17    Global Debt Securities; Book-Entry Provisions.

If Debt Securities of a series are issuable in global form as a Global Debt Security, as contemplated by Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.02, any such Global Debt Security shall represent such of the outstanding Debt Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Debt Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Debt Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, transfers or redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Debt Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Debt Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee (i) in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified in such Debt Security or in an Issuer Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 or (ii) otherwise in accordance with written instructions or such other written form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary for such Debt Security, from such Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in such Global Debt Security. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 and, if applicable, Section 2.12, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Debt Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified in such Debt Security or in the applicable Issuer Order. With respect to the Debt Securities of any series that are represented by a Global Debt Security, the Issuer and the Parent authorize the execution and delivery by the Trustee of a letter of representations or other similar agreement or instrument in the form customarily provided for by the Depositary appointed with respect to such Global Debt Security. Any Global Debt Security may be deposited with the Depositary or its nominee, or may remain in the custody of the Trustee or the Security Custodian therefor pursuant to a FAST Balance Certificate Agreement or similar agreement between the Trustee and the Depositary. If an Issuer

21

Order has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Issuer with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Debt Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Debt Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee or the Security Custodian as its custodian, or under such Global Debt Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Parent, the Trustee or the Security Custodian and any agent of the Issuer, the Parent, the Trustee or the Security Custodian as the absolute owner of such Global Debt Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the registered holder of a Global Debt Security of a series may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder of Debt Securities of such series is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Debt Securities of such series and (ii) nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Parent, the Trustee or the Security Custodian, or any agent of the Issuer, the Parent, the Trustee or the Security Custodian, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Debt Security.

Notwithstanding Section 2.08, and except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.01: Transfers of a Global Debt Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Debt Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Debt Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. Debt Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Debt Security if, and only if, either (1) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Debt Security and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice, (2) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to such series and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue Debt Securities in lieu of all or a portion of the Global Debt Security (in which case the Issuer shall deliver Debt Securities within 30 days of such request) or (3) the Issuer determines not to have the Debt Securities represented by a Global Debt Security.

In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interests in a Global Debt Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Debt Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Global Debt Security to be transferred, and the Issuer and the Parent shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Debt Securities of the same series of like tenor and amount.

In connection with the transfer of all the beneficial interests in a Global Debt Security to beneficial owners pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Global Debt Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer and the Parent shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interests in the Global Debt Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of authorized denominations.

22

None of the Issuer, the Parent or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, Debt Securities by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of the Depositary relating to such Debt Securities. None of the Issuer, the Parent or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay by the related Global Debt Security Holder or the Depositary in identifying the beneficial owners, and each such Person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from such Global Debt Security Holder or the Depositary for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the Debt Securities to be issued). Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

The provisions of the last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04 shall apply to any Global Debt Security if such Global Debt Security was never issued and sold by the Issuer and the Issuer or the Parent delivers to the Trustee the Global Debt Security together with an Officer’s Certificate (which need not comply with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the cancellation or reduction in the principal amount of Debt Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of the third paragraph of Section 2.04.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.03 and 2.14, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of principal of, premium (if any) and interest on any Global Debt Security shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

SECTION 2.18    CUSIP Numbers.

The Issuer in issuing the Debt Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debt Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debt Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers of the Debt Securities.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01    Applicability of Article.

Debt Securities of any series that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Debt Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article III.

SECTION 3.02    Notice to the Trustee.

If the Issuer elects to redeem Debt Securities of any series pursuant to this Indenture, it shall notify the Trustee of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series to be redeemed. The Issuer shall so notify the Trustee at least 5 Business Days before notice of the Redemption Date is given (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) by delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the provisions of this Indenture and of the Debt Securities of such series. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to the mailing of such notice of such redemption to any Holder and shall thereupon be void and of no effect.

SECTION 3.03    Selection of Debt Securities To Be Redeemed.

23

If less than all the Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee from the outstanding Debt Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, either pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (but beneficial interests in Global Debt Securities will be selected in accordance with the applicable rules of the Depositary) and that may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of that series or of the principal amount of Global Debt Securities of such series.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Registrar in writing of the Debt Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Debt Securities shall relate, in the case of any of the Debt Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount thereof which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.04    Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given with respect to Global Debt Securities in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary, and otherwise mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, in each case not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Debt Securities to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder appearing in the register of Debt Securities maintained by the Registrar.

All notices of redemption shall identify the Debt Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

(1)    the Redemption Date;

(2)    the Redemption Price or the method by which it is to be determined;

(3)    that, unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Debt Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Debt Securities is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Debt Securities redeemed;

(4)    if any Debt Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender for cancellation of such Debt Security to the Paying Agent, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities in the aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued without charge to the Holder;

(5)    that Debt Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price and the name and address of the Paying Agent;

24

(6)    that the redemption is for a sinking or analogous fund, if such is the case;

(7)    the CUSIP number, if any, relating to such Debt Securities; and

(8)    any conditions to such redemption.

Notice of redemption of Debt Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s written request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of the Redemption Date is given (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice with the form of such notice included as an exhibit thereto and setting forth the information required to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Any such redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions, including a sale of securities or other financing, in each case as specified in the notice of redemption. A notice of conditional redemption will be of no effect unless all conditions to the redemption have occurred on or before the Redemption Date or have been waived by the Issuer on or before the Redemption Date. The Issuer will provide notice to the Trustee of any failure to meet such conditions no later than the Redemption Date. Upon receipt of such notice of the delay of such Redemption Date or the rescission of such notice of redemption, such Redemption Date shall be automatically delayed or such notice of redemption shall be automatically rescinded, as applicable, and the redemption of the notes shall be automatically delayed or rescinded and cancelled, as applicable, as provided in such notice.

SECTION 3.05    Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is sent, Debt Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price, subject to satisfaction of any conditions precedent thereto. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Debt Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price, but interest installments whose maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable on the relevant Interest Payment Dates to the Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates specified pursuant to Section 2.01.

SECTION 3.06    Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06) an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest and premium (if any) on the Debt Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, other than Debt Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation.

If the Issuer complies with the preceding paragraph, then, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price, interest on the Debt Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Debt Securities are presented for payment, and the Holders of such Debt Securities shall have no further rights with respect to such Debt Securities except for the right to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Debt Securities. If any Debt Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, accrued interest thereon shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate specified pursuant to Section 2.01 or provided in the Debt Securities.

SECTION 3.07    Debt Securities Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

25

Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Debt Security to be redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt Security without service charge a new Debt Security or Debt Securities, of the same series and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered that is not redeemed.

SECTION 3.08    Purchase of Debt Securities.

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, the Issuer, the Parent and any Affiliate of the Issuer or the Parent may, subject to applicable law, at any time purchase or otherwise acquire Debt Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Any such acquisition shall not operate as or be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the indebtedness represented by such Debt Securities. Any Debt Securities purchased or acquired by the Issuer or the Parent may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such delivery, the indebtedness represented thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied. Section 2.13 shall apply to all Debt Securities so delivered.

SECTION 3.09    Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Debt Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of such series and by this Article III.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01    Payment of Debt Securities.

The Issuer shall pay the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Debt Securities of each series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Debt Securities of such series and in this Indenture. Principal, premium and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, the Parent or a Subsidiary of the Issuer) holds on that date money deposited by the Issuer designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium and interest then due.

The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium (if any), at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Debt Securities to the extent lawful; and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

SECTION 4.02    Maintenance of Office or Agency.

26

The Issuer will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Debt Securities an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent) where Debt Securities of that series may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange, where Debt Securities of that series may be presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer or the Parent in respect of the Debt Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise designated by the Issuer by written notice to the Trustee, such office or agency shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. 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 of the Trustee; provided, however, no service of legal process may be made on the Issuer at the Corporate Trust Office or any other office of the Trustee.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Debt Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Debt Securities of any series for such purposes. 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.

SECTION 4.03    SEC Reports; Financial Statements.

(a)    So long as any Debt Securities are outstanding, the Issuer will:

(i)    for as long as the Parent is required to file information with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Parent is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports which it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act; and

(ii)    if the Parent is not required to file reports with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Parent would have been required to file with the Commission, financial statements (and with respect to annual reports, an auditors’ report by a firm of established national reputation) and a Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both comparable to what the Parent would have been required to file with the Commission had it been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

(b)    For purposes of this Section 4.03, the Issuer shall be deemed to have furnished such reports and information to, or filed such reports and information with, the Trustee and the Holders and prospective purchasers as required by this Section 4.03 if the Parent has filed such reports or information with the Commission via the ▇▇▇▇▇ filing system or otherwise made such reports or information publicly available on a freely accessible page on the Issuer’s (or Parent’s) website.

(c)    Delivery by the Issuer of any such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein, or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). The Trustee is under no duty to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s or any other Person’s compliance with any of the covenants hereunder to determine whether the Issuer posts reports, information or documents on the SEC’s website (including via the ▇▇▇▇▇ filing system), the Issuer’s or Parent’s website or otherwise, to collect any such information from the SEC’s website (including via the ▇▇▇▇▇ filing system), the Issuer’s or Parent’s website or otherwise, or to review or analyze reports delivered to it to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein or to participate in any conference calls.

SECTION 4.04    Compliance Certificate.

27

(a)    The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a statement signed by an Officer of the Issuer, complying with TIA Section 314(a)(4) and stating that in the course of performance by the signing Officer of his duties as such Officer of the Issuer, he would normally obtain knowledge of the keeping, observing, performing and fulfilling by the Issuer and the Parent of their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating that to the best of his knowledge the Issuer and the Parent have observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which such Officer may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

(b)    The Issuer shall, so long as Debt Securities of any series are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, a written notice of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.05    Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

Each of the Issuer and the Parent covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive it from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Debt Securities 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 (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each of the Issuer and the Parent hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not 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.

ARTICLE V

SUCCESSORS

SECTION 5.01    Limitations on Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets.

The Issuer will not consolidate or combine with or merge into any Person, unless:

(a)    the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation, combination or merger (the “Successor”) is the Issuer or the Parent or expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the Issuer’s obligations and liabilities under this Indenture and the Debt Securities;

(b)    the Successor is a corporation, limited liability company, general partnership or limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, or any state or territory thereof or the District of Colombia;

28

(d)    the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or combination complies with this Indenture.

SECTION 5.02    Successor Person Substituted.

Upon any consolidation or merger of the Issuer in accordance with Section 5.01, the Successor formed by such consolidation or merger shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Debt Securities with the same effect as if such Successor had originally been named as the Issuer herein and the predecessor Issuer shall be released from all liabilities and obligations under this Indenture and the Debt Securities.

The term “Bankruptcy Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

When a Default is cured, it ceases.

SECTION 6.02    Acceleration.

If an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series at the time outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of that series affected by such Event of Default may, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all then outstanding Debt Securities of such affected series. Upon any such declaration, such amounts shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, such amounts shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of outstanding Debt Securities. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of the series affected by such Event of Default by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an

30

acceleration and its consequences (other than nonpayment of principal of or premium or interest on the Debt Securities) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and if all existing Events of Default with respect to Debt Securities of that series have been cured or waived, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration.

SECTION 6.03    Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Debt Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Debt Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Debt Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04    Waiver of Defaults.

Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing or past Default or Event of Default with respect to such series and its consequences (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Debt Securities of such series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Debt Securities of such series, except (1) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security or (2) a continued Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each Holder affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05    Control by Majority.

With respect to Debt Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of such series may direct in writing the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to Debt Securities of such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with applicable law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such direction is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any such other Holders), or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion from Holders directing the Trustee against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.06    Limitations on Suits.

31

Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, a Holder of a Debt Security of any series may have a right to institute an proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee, or for any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Debt Securities of such series only if:

(1)    that Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of that series;

(2)    the Holders of at least 50% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of such series have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such use prejudices the rights of another Holder or obtains preference or priority over another Holder).

SECTION 6.07    Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Debt Security to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and any interest on with respect to the Debt Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Debt Security, and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer or the Parent for the amount of principal, premium (if any), interest remaining unpaid on the Debt Securities of the series affected by the Event of Default, and interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue interest, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such actions, including participating as a member, voting or otherwise, of any committee of creditors, as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, 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, money, securities and other properties which the Holders of the Debt Securities may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Debt Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10    Priorities.

Third: to the Issuer.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Issuer, may fix record dates and payment dates for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Article VI.

SECTION 6.11    Undertaking for Costs.

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

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

The Trustee may resign and be discharged at any time with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more series by so notifying the Issuer and the Parent. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series upon 30 days written notice by so notifying the Trustee, the Issuer and the Parent.

If a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series does not take office within 30 days after the retiring or removed Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring or removed Trustee (at the expense of the Issuer), the Issuer, the Parent or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series.

If the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of a series fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Debt Securities of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series.

In case of the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to all Debt Securities, each such successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee, to the Issuer and to the Parent. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

Nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, and each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. On request of the Issuer or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee

38

shall transfer to such successor Trustee all property held by such retiring Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

Such retiring Trustee shall, however, have the right to deduct its unpaid fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees.

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or Trustees pursuant to this Section 7.08, the obligations of the Issuer under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Trustees.

SECTION 7.09    Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

Subject to Section 7.10, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case any Debt Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debt Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

ARTICLE VIII

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.01    Applicability of Article.

The provisions of this Article VIII relating to either the satisfaction and discharge or the defeasance of Debt Securities shall be applicable to each series of Debt Securities except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01 for Debt Securities of such series.

SECTION 8.02    Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance.

(a)    If at any time the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Debt Securities of any series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than any Debt Securities of such series that shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09 and Debt Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer as provided in Section 8.05) or all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee as trust funds money, such Government Obligations or a combination thereof or, in the case of Debt Securities denominated in a single currency other than United States dollars, Government Obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or such Government Obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank (in the case of the deposit of Government Obligations) to pay at Stated Maturity or upon redemption all Debt Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and premium, if any, and interest due or to become due on such date of Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, and if in either case the Issuer shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums then due and payable hereunder by the Issuer with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, and the Trustee, on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series have been complied with and at the cost and expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series.

(b)    Subject to Sections 8.02(c), 8.03 and 8.07, the Issuer at any time may terminate, with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series, all its obligations under the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities of such series (“legal defeasance option”) or the operation of (x) any covenant made applicable to such Debt Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 and (y) Sections 6.01(d) and (g) (except to the extent covenants or agreements referenced in Section 6.01(d) remain applicable) (“covenant defeasance option”). For this purpose, the covenant defeasance option means that, with respect to the outstanding Debt

40

Securities of such series, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 with respect to such series, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Debt Securities shall be unaffected thereby. If the Issuer exercises either its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance obligation, the Guarantee will terminate with respect to that series of Debt Securities and be automatically released and discharged and any security that may have been granted in respect of such series shall be automatically released. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Debt Securities of the defeased series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d) or (g) (except to the extent covenants or agreements referenced in Section 6.01(d) remain applicable).

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.

(c)    Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.05, 2.08, 2.09, 4.02, 7.07, 8.05, 8.06 and 8.07 shall survive until the Debt Securities of the defeased series have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive.

SECTION 8.03    Conditions of Defeasance.

The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to Debt Securities of a particular series only if:

(a)    in the event of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee money, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof or, in the case of Debt Securities denominated in a single currency other than United States dollars, Government Obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or such Government Obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank (in the case of the deposit of Government Obligations) to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Debt Securities of that series on the Stated Maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and Debt Securities of such series;

(b)    in the event of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case, to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of

41

the Debt Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred;

(c)    in the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Trustee money, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, or, in the case of Debt Securities denominated in a single currency other than United States dollars, Government Obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or such Government Obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank (in the case of the deposit of Government Obligations) to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Debt Securities of that series on the Stated Maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and Debt Securities of such series;

(d)    in the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case, to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Debt Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred;

(e)    in the event of the legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(f)    such legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; and

(g)    the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to such legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option with respect to Debt Securities of such series have been complied with.

SECTION 8.04    Application of Trust Money.

Subject to Section 8.05, the Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the Government Obligations through any paying agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Debt Securities of the defeased or discharged series.

42

SECTION 8.05    Repayment to Issuer.

The Trustee and any paying agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and any paying agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors.

SECTION 8.06    Indemnity for Government Obligations.

The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee and the Holders against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such Government Obligations.

SECTION 8.07    Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or any paying agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or government authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Debt Securities of the defeased series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or any paying agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES AND AMENDMENTS

SECTION 9.01    Without Consent of Holders.

The Issuer and the Trustee may amend, supplement or otherwise modify this Indenture or the Debt Securities of any series, or with the consent of Parent, the Guarantee of Parent of any series of Debt Securities, or waive any provision hereof or thereof without the consent of any Holder:

(a)    to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(b)    to comply with Section 5.01;

(c)    to provide for uncertificated Debt Securities in addition to or in place of Certificated Debt Securities;

(d)    to add Guarantees with respect to Debt Securities of any series;

(e)    to surrender any of the Issuer’s rights or powers under this Indenture;

(f)    to comply with the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary;

43

(g)    to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Debt Securities;

(h)    to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of Debt Securities of any series as permitted by Section 2.01;

(i)    to provide for the issuance of bearer Debt Securities (with or without coupons);

(j)    to provide any security for any series of Debt Securities or the related Guarantees;

(k)    to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of Debt Securities pursuant to Article VIII; provided, however, that any such action shall not adversely affect the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series or any other series of Debt Securities in any material respect;

(l)    to effect the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one Trustee;

(m)    to comply with any requirement of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(n)    to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Debt Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Debt Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series), or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

(o)    to add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Debt Securities (and, if any Event of Default is applicable to less than all series of Debt Securities, specifying the series to which such Event of Default is applicable); or

(p)    to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture; provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no outstanding Debt Security of any series created prior to the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture that is adversely affected by such change in or elimination of such provision.

Upon the request of the Issuer and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with the Issuer and the Parent, as applicable, in the execution of any supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained.

SECTION 9.02    With Consent of Holders.

44

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the Trustee (and, as it affects the Guarantee of Parent, Parent) may amend, supplement or otherwise modify this Indenture with the written consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Debt Securities of any one or more series or all series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Debt Securities of any one or more series or all series) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such amendment, supplement or other modification (taken together in the aggregate as a single class).

Upon the request of the Issuer and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.06, join with the Issuer (and the Parent, as applicable) in the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture.

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

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of all series affected by such non-compliance or past default (taken together in the aggregate as a single class), may waive compliance in a particular instance, or any past default, by the Issuer or the Parent with any provision of this Indenture with respect to Debt Securities of all such series (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Debt Securities of such series or a solicitation of consents in respect of Debt Securities of all such series).

However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not:

(a)    reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(b)    reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Debt Security;

(c)    reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any Debt Security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of Debt Securities;

(d)    reduce the principal amount of Original Issue Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02;

(e)    reduce the premium, if any, payable upon the redemption of any Debt Security or waive the requirement that any Debt Security shall be redeemed;

(f)    change the coin or currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in which any Debt Security or any premium or interest with respect thereto are payable;

45

(g)    impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Debt Securities or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on such Holder’s Debt Securities pursuant to Sections 6.07 and 6.08, except as limited by Section 6.06; or

(h)    waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Debt Securities (except a rescission of acceleration of the Debt Securities of any series by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debt Securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration).

For the avoidance of doubt, no waiver or amendment of a restrictive covenant will be deemed to impair a Holder’s right to receive any amount of principal, premium or interest.

A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Debt Securities of any other series.

The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought pursuant to any provision of this Indenture (and the obligation of the Issuer to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of any Debt Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date identified by the Issuer in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders of each Debt Security affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.03    Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Debt Securities shall comply in form and substance with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04    Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Debt Security or portion of a Debt Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Debt Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Debt Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her Debt Security or portion of a Debt Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before a date and time therefor identified by the Issuer in a notice furnished to such Holder in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or, if no such date and time shall be identified, the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

46

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date (which need not comply with TIA Section 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver or to take any other action under this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Debt Securities required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

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

SECTION 9.05    Notation on or Exchange of Debt Securities.

If an amendment or supplement changes the terms of an outstanding Debt Security, the Issuer may require the Holder of the Debt Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Debt Security at the request of the Issuer regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Debt Security shall issue, and the Parent shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new Debt Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Debt Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment or supplement.

Debt Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any amendment or supplement may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such amendment or supplement.

SECTION 9.06    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity satisfactory to it, and, subject to Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel provided at the expense of the Issuer as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuer and the Parent in accordance with its terms.

47

ARTICLE X

GUARANTEE

SECTION 10.01    Guarantee.

(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Article X to the contrary, the provisions of this Article X relating to the Parent shall be applicable only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Debt Securities of any series designated, pursuant to Section 2.01, as entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee of the Parent (such Debt Securities, “Guaranteed Debt Securities”).

(b)    For value received, each of the Parent hereby fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (the “Guarantee”) to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Guaranteed Debt Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Guaranteed Debt Securities by the Issuer, when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, according to the terms of the Guaranteed Debt Securities and this Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.03.

(c)    Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee, for whatever reason, the Parent will be obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, senior obligation of the Parent and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all Indebtedness of the Parent that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee. The Parent hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Debt Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Guaranteed Debt Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or the Parent, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Parent. The Parent hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Guaranteed Debt Securities, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or, subject to Section 6.06, by the Holders, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against the Parent to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer or the Parent.

(d)    The obligations of the Parent under this Article X shall be as aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Issuer or the Parent contained in the Guaranteed Debt Securities or this Indenture, (ii) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability of the Issuer, the Parent or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (iii) the assertion or exercise by the Issuer, the Parent or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Guaranteed Debt Securities or

48

this Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Guaranteed Debt Securities, including all or any part of the rights of the Issuer or the Parent under this Indenture, (v) the extension of the time for payment by the Issuer or the Parent of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Guaranteed Debt Securities or this Indenture or of the time for performance by the Issuer or the Parent of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (vi) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Issuer or the Parent set forth in this Indenture, (vii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Issuer or the Parent or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of the Guaranteed Debt Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture in any such proceeding, (viii) the release or discharge of the Issuer or the Parent from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (ix) the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Debt Securities, the Guarantee or this Indenture or (x) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.

(e)    The Parent hereby (i) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer or the Parent, and all demands whatsoever, (ii) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without notice to it and (iii) covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantee. The Parent further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to the Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or the Parent, the Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made.

(f)    The Parent shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by the Parent pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, provided, however, that the Parent, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Guaranteed Debt Securities and the Guarantee shall have been paid in full or discharged.

SECTION 10.02    Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

The Guarantee shall be evidenced solely by its execution and delivery of this Indenture and not by an endorsement on, or attachment to, any Guaranteed Debt Security of any Guarantee or notation thereof. The Parent hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall be and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on any Guaranteed Debt

49

Security a notation of such Guarantee. The delivery of any Guaranteed Debt Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of Parent.

SECTION 10.03    Release of the Parent from its Guarantee.

Unless released at an earlier date in accordance with Article IX, the Parent will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under its Guarantee without any further action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of any series of Guaranteed Debt Securities if such series of Guaranteed Debt Securities are defeased or discharged in accordance with Article VIII.
