(1)            the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could incur a Lien pursuant to Section 1008 on the Principal Property securing indebtedness for money borrowed in a principal amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to the sale and leaseback transaction without equally and ratably securing the Senior Notes; or

(2)            (A) the gross proceeds of the sale or transfer of the Principal Property leased equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of such Principal Property and (B) within one year after such sale or transfer of such Principal Property shall have been made by the Company or by a Restricted Subsidiary, the Company applies all of the net proceeds to (i) the voluntary retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) the acquisition by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of one or more properties which on an aggregate basis have a purchase price in excess of 5% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (other than the Principal Property involved in such sale).

Section 1010. Maintenance of Properties.

The Company shall cause all properties owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, that nothing in this covenant shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the maintenance of any properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary.

(F)            By adding the following Section 1011 to Article Ten as follows:

Section 1011. Purchase of Senior Notes upon a Change of Control.

(a)            If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Senior Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Senior Notes under Section 1109, each Holder of the Senior Notes will have the right to require the Company, pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Senior Notes pursuant to an offer on the terms set forth herein (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Senior Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of the Senior Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). No purchase in part shall reduce the principal amount at maturity of the Senior Notes held by any Holder to below $2,000.

(b)            Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver a notice to each Holder of the Senior Notes at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise deliver a notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1104, with a copy to the Trustee, stating:

(1)            that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Senior Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Regular Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”);

(2)            the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3)            that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 1011 and that all Senior Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(4)            the Change of Control Payment;

(5)            the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the offices or agencies referred to in Section 1002;

(7)            that the Change of Control Payment for any Senior Note which has been properly tendered and not withdrawn will be paid promptly following the Change of Control Payment Date;

(8)            other procedures that a Holder must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or to withdraw such acceptance of the Change of Control Offer;

(9)            that any Senior Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; and

(10)          that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, any Senior Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c)            Upon receipt by the Company of the proper tender of Senior Notes, the Holder of the Senior Note in respect of which such proper tender was made shall (unless the tender of such Senior Note is properly withdrawn) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Change of Control Payment with respect to such Senior Note. Upon surrender of any such Senior Note for purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder of such Senior Note shall be paid by the Company on the Change of Control Payment Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Senior Notes, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to the terms and the provisions of Section 307. If any Senior Note tendered for purchase in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1011 shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof, the principal thereof (and premium, if any, thereon) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Change of Control Payment Date at the rate prescribed therefor in such Senior Note. Holders electing to have Senior Notes purchased will be required to surrender such Senior Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the Change of Control Offer at least one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Any Senior Note that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered to a Paying Agent at the office of such Paying Agent (with, if the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar or the Trustee, as the case may be, duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Senior Note without service charge, one or more new Senior Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Senior Note so surrendered that is not purchased.

(d)            On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all of the Senior Notes or portions of the Senior Notes (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money in same day funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all of the Senior Notes or portions of the Senior Notes (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) which have been properly tendered and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Senior Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each Holder of the Senior Notes whose Senior Notes have been properly tendered and so accepted the Change of Control Payment for such Senior Notes, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to such Holders a new Senior Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Senior Note surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Senior Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Senior Notes so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. Any Senior Notes not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Paying Agent at the Company’s expense to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on the Change of Control Payment Date.

(e)            A tender made in response to a Change of Control Offer may be withdrawn if the Company receives, not later than the expiration date for the Change of Control Offer, or if there is no such expiration date, one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a written notice of withdrawal, specifying, as applicable:

(1)            the name of the Holder;

(2)            the certificate number of the Senior Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

(3)            the principal amount of the Senior Note (which shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) delivered for purchase by the Holder as to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

(4)            a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such principal amount of such Senior Note purchased; and

(5)            the principal amount, if any, of such Senior Note (which shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) that remains subject to the original Change of Control Offer and that has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Company.

(f)            Subject to applicable escheat laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon, held by them for the payment of the Change of Control Payment; provided, however, that, (x) to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to clause (ii) of paragraph (d) above exceeds the aggregate Change of Control Payment of the Senior Notes or portions thereof to be purchased, then the Trustee shall hold such excess for the Company and (y) unless otherwise directed by the Company in writing, promptly after the Business Day following the Change of Control Payment Date the Trustee shall return any such excess to the Company together with interest, if any, thereon.

(g)            If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Senior Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

(h)            If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Senior Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any other person making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company pursuant to this Section 1011, purchases all of the Senior Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer pursuant to this Section 1011, to redeem all Senior Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(i)            The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations (and rules of any exchange on which the Senior Notes are then listed) to the extent these laws, regulations or rules are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Senior Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations or exchange rules conflict with the provisions of this Section 1011, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws, regulations and rules and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1011 by virtue of such compliance.

(j)           The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture and this Fourth Supplemental Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (ii) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the provisions of Section 1108 or Section 1109, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable Redemption Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. In such event, the consummation of the Change of Control Offer may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the original notification of the Change of Control Offer was given) the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, or the Change of Control Offer may not be consummated if the Change of Control Triggering Event does not occur.

(k)          The provisions of this Section 1011 relating to the Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived or modified with the consent of Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control.

(G)            By deleting the second paragraph of Section 1108 to Article Eleven and restating it as follows:

The Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Holders of the Senior Notes (which notice shall be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures set forth under Section 1104), at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed by the Company for redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due or which will become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of Senior Notes on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof), if on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of the Senior Notes, the Company is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Company cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available (including, for the avoidance of doubt, appointment of a new Paying Agent but excluding the reincorporation or reorganization of the Company), and the requirement arises as a result of:

(a)          any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of a relevant tax jurisdiction which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective after the date of the prospectus supplement applicable to the Senior Notes at the time of initial sale thereof (or, if such tax jurisdiction becomes relevant on a date after the date of such document, after such later date); or

(b)          any change in, or amendment to, the official application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in published practice), which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective after the date of the prospectus supplement applicable to the Senior Notes at the time of initial sale thereof (or, if such tax jurisdiction becomes relevant on a date after the date of such document, after such later date) (each of the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), a “Change in Tax Law”).

The Company shall not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Company would be obligated to make such payment of Additional Amounts if a payment in respect of the Senior Notes were then due and at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must remain in effect. Prior to the delivery of any notice of redemption of the Senior Notes pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall deliver the Trustee an opinion of an independent tax advisor of recognized standing qualified under the laws of the relevant tax jurisdiction (which advisor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) to the effect that there has been a Change in Tax Law which would entitle the Company to redeem the Senior Notes hereunder. In addition, before the Company delivers a notice of redemption of the Senior Notes as described above, it shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that it cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by the Company taking reasonable measures available to it.

The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to rely absolutely, and without liability to any Person therefor, on such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on all of the Holders.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 1108 will apply, mutatis mutandis, to any successor of the Company with respect to a Change in Tax Law occurring after the time such Person becomes successor to the Company.

(H)            By adding the following Section 1109 to Article Eleven:

Section 1109. Optional Redemption.

Prior to October 15, 2035 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity date of the Senior Notes) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Senior Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1)            (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Senior Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, and

(2)            100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the Redemption Price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notice of any redemption will be delivered to each Holder of the Senior Notes at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1104, with a copy to the Trustee, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of notes to be redeemed.

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the Senior Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, or by lot or by such other method as the Company in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. No Senior Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any Senior Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the Senior Notes will state the portion of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed. A new Senior Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Senior Notes will be issued in the name of the holder of the Senior Notes upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. For so long as the Senior Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the Senior Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the Senior Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

If the Company elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s reasonable understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Company understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Company shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Company and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Company. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including, without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Company; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security, where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice of any event or any other communication (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) to a holder of a Global Security (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depositary or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with accepted practices at the Depositary.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Securities:

(1)            if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice; provided that in the event of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder; or

(2)            if a series of Securities has been issued in the form of one or more Global Securities through DTC as Depositary, notice may be provided with respect to such series of Securities by delivery of such notice to DTC for posting through its “Legal Notice Service” (LENS) or a successor system thereof.

In any case where notice to Holders of Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

(I)            By adding the following Section 114 to Article One:

Section 114. Jurisdiction.

The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is subject by a suit upon such judgment; provided that service of process is effected upon the Company in the manner provided by this Indenture. The Company has appointed the Company’s General Counsel, located at his office at the Company, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, or any successor so long as such successor is resident in the United States and can act for this purpose, as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”), upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture or the Securities or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any state or Federal court in the City of New York, by any Holder or the Trustee, and expressly accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. The Company’s General Counsel has hereby accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any action involving the Company arising out of or based upon this Indenture or the Securities may be instituted by any Holder or the Trustee in any other court of competent jurisdiction. The Company expressly consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action and waives any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto.

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE, AND EACH HOLDER OF A SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

(J)            By adding the following Section 115 to Article One:

Section 115. Counterparts.

The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy will be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif” or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000) shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by electronic format (i.e., “pdf” or “tif” or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. Any electronically signed document delivered via email from a Person purporting to be an authorized officer shall be considered signed or executed by such authorized officer on behalf of the applicable Person. The Trustee shall not have any duty to inquire into or investigate the authenticity or authorization of any such electronic signature and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such electronic signature without any liability with respect thereto.

(K)            By adding the following Section 116 to Article One:

Section 116. Currency Indemnity.

Any payment on account of an amount that is payable in U.S. dollars (the “Required Currency”) which is made to or for the account of any Holder or the Trustee in lawful currency of any other jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”), whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the liquidation of the Company, shall constitute a discharge of the Company’s obligation under this Indenture and the Securities, only to the extent of the amount of the Required Currency which may be purchased in the London foreign exchange markets with the amount of the Judgment Currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the first Business Day following receipt of the payment in the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Required Currency that could be so purchased is less than the amount of the Required Currency originally due to such Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, from and against all loss or damage arising out of, or as a result of, such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Indenture or the Securities, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any Holder or the Trustee from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.

(L)            By deleting Section 202 to Article Two and restating it as follows:

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities evidenced thereby, every Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR A SECURITY REGISTERED, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN WHOLE OR IN PART MAY BE REGISTERED, IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER THAN SUCH DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE.

(M)            By adding Section 204 to Article Two as set forth below:

Section 204. Securities in Global Form.

If Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102.

The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 102) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 201 and 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

(N)            By deleting the first two paragraphs of Section 303 to Article Three and restating them as follows:

Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any one of its Officers. The signature of any of these individuals on the Securities may be manual, facsimile or by Electronic Means (including DocuSign or other electronic platform).

(O)            By deleting the first sentence of the last paragraph of Section 303 to Article Three and restating it as follows:

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual or electronic (including DocuSign or other electronic platform) signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

(P)            By adding the below to the end of the first paragraph of Section 304 to Article Three:

Any such temporary Security may be in the form of one or more Global Securities, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

(Q)            By adding the below paragraph to the end of Section 305 to Article Three:

Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the depositary.

(R)            By deleting Section 308 to Article Three and restating it as follows and by replacing any cross references to Section 308 with Section 1303:

Section 308: [Reserved].

Section 311. CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing any Securities may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such series, the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange or other notice to Holders with respect to such series provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice to Holders, that such numbers are included solely for the convenience of the Holders and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers.

(a)            the Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (including in any agent capacity in which it acts). The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust;

(b)            the Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon its request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee (including the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and

(c)            the Company also agrees to indemnify the Trustee hereunder for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all cost, claim, loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, the Securities, the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties (including in any agent capacity in which it acts), including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not incur any liability if it fails to so notify and any failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section 607, the Trustee shall have a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust by the Trustee to pay principal of, premium and interest on any Securities.

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of the Company to compensate and indemnify the Trustee under this Section 607 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the termination of this Indenture and any satisfaction and discharge under Article Four.

Without prejudice to its other rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clauses (6), (7), or (8) of Section 501 occurs, the expenses and compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Any Trustee hereunder may be removed with respect to any series of Securities at any time by the filing with such Trustee and the delivery to the Company of an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, specifying such removal.

If at any time:

(1)        the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months (or, if it is a shorter period, the period since the initial issuance of the Securities of such series), or

(2)        the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 608 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months (or, if it is a shorter period, the period since the initial issuance of the Securities of such series), or

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by written notice to the Trustee may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder of Securities who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months (or, if it is a shorter period, the period since the initial issuance of the Securities of such series) may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

In addition, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of any series without cause if the Company gives written notice to the Trustee of such proposed removal at least three months in advance of the proposed effective date of such removal.

Upon its resignation or removal, any Trustee shall be entitled to the payment of reasonable compensation for the services rendered hereunder by such Trustee and to the payment of all reasonable expenses incurred hereunder and all moneys then due to it hereunder.

(a)            In case at any time the Trustee shall resign, or shall be removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, with respect to Securities of any or all series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. However, if all or substantially all the assets of the Company shall be in the possession of one or more custodians or receivers lawfully appointed, or of trustees in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings (including a trustee or trustees appointed under the provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted), or of assignees for the benefit of creditors, such receivers, custodians, trustees or assignees, as the case may be, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any or all series. Subject to the provisions of Sections 608 and 610, upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series shall cease to be Trustee hereunder. After any such appointment other than by the Holders of Securities of any such series, the Person making such appointment shall forthwith cause notice thereof to be sent to the Holders of Securities of such series at their addresses as the same shall then appear on the Security Register. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of such appointment.

(b)            If any Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall resign or be removed and a successor Trustee shall not have been appointed by the Company or, if any successor Trustee so appointed shall not have accepted its appointment within 30 days after such appointment shall have been made, the resigning Trustee at the expense of the Company may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If in any other case a successor Trustee shall not be appointed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 611 within three months after such appointment might have been made hereunder, the Holder of any Security of the applicable series or any retiring Trustee at the expense of the Company may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, in any such case, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

(c)            Any successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor Trustee and to the Company, or to the receivers, trustees, assignees or court appointing it, as the case may be, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations with respect to such series of such predecessor Trustee with like effect as if originally named as Trustee hereunder, and such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to pay over, and such successor Trustee shall be entitled to receive, all moneys and properties held by such predecessor Trustee as Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of such series, subject nevertheless to its lien provided for in Section 607. Nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee, such predecessor Trustee, upon payment of its said charges and disbursements, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee upon the trusts herein expressed all the rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and shall assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Trustee all moneys and properties held by such predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, subject nevertheless to its lien provided for in Section 607; and, upon request of any such successor Trustee or the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations.

Proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his, her or its agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., a Liberian corporation (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of                                      United States Dollars on January 15, 2036, and to pay interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) thereon from October 1, 2025 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2026, at the rate of 5.375% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

In any case where such Interest Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture) payment of such interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and, if such payment is so made, no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date.

Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice thereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest in immediately available funds may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual or electronic (including DocuSign or other electronic platform) signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or the Fourth Supplemental Indenture hereinafter referred to or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of senior securities evidencing unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of July 31, 2006, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 28, 2017 and a Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated October 1, 2025, each between the Company and the Trustee (herein collectively the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. To the extent not inconsistent herewith, the terms of the Indenture are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates, may be subject to different redemption or repayment provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any), and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is a Global Security representing U.S. $ aggregate principal amount of a series of Securities designated as the 5.375% Senior Notes due January 15, 2036 of the Company, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S.$ 1,500,000,000. Additional Securities of the same class may be issued under the Indenture (the “Additional Securities”). The Securities and the Additional Securities subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Securities of this series will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be redeemable by the Company prior to Maturity, except in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of this Security and (b) certain restrictive covenants and certain Events of Default upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Security.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

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

This Security is a Global Security registered in the name of a nominee of the Depositary. This Global Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited circumstances hereinafter described. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Securities in certificated form, this Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary.

The Securities represented by this Global Security are exchangeable for definitive Securities in certificated form of like tenor as such Securities in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this Global Security or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company fails within 90 days thereafter to appoint a successor, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series. Any Securities that are exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence are exchangeable for certificated Securities issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of definitive Securities in certificated form is registerable in the Security Register upon surrender of the definitive Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company at any place where the principal of, premium, interest and Additional Amounts on the definitive Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. Subject to the foregoing, this Global Security is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security or Global Securities of this issue of the same principal amount to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee.

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

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof.

THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
