If all Debt Securities of a series are not to be issued at any one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Certified Resolution, Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel provided for in this Section 2.02 at the time of issuance of each Debt Security of such series if instead such documents are delivered at or prior to the time of issuance of the first Debt Security of such series.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Debt Securities under this Section 2.02 if the Trustee determines that such actions as provided under this Section to be taken by the Company may not lawfully be taken by the Company or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or board of trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.

This [note, bond, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness] is one of the series of Debt Securities referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.


	Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as Trustee
	By
		Authorized Signature

SECTION 2.04. Execution of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities shall be signed manually or in facsimile in the name and on behalf of the Company by the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President, the Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer, and attested manually or in facsimile by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Only such Debt Securities as shall bear a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided in Section 2.03, executed manually by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Debt Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Debt Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debt Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Debt Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Debt Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debt Security, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such an officer.

SECTION 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Debt Securities. Debt Securities may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of the same series and date of maturity of other authorized denominations. Debt Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company for such purpose in the City and State of New York, as provided in Section 5.02, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, the Debt Security or Debt Securities that the Debt Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

The Company or any Debt Security registrar appointed by the Company shall keep, at said office or agency, a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company, or any Debt Security registrar appointed by the Company, shall register Debt Securities and shall register the transfer of Debt Securities as provided in this Article Two.

Such Debt Security register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. If the Debt Security register is not kept by the Trustee it shall at all reasonable times be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt Security at such office or agency, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series and date of maturity for an equal aggregate principal amount. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee to be Debt Security registrar, but reserves the right to change the Debt Security registrar or to itself act as Debt Security registrar.

All Debt Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Company or any Debt Security registrar appointed by the Company) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer (in form satisfactory to the Company or any Debt Security registrar appointed by the Company) duly executed, by the holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debt Securities, but the Company, the Trustee or any Debt Security registrar appointed by the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

The Company or any Debt Security registrar appointed by the Company shall not be required to exchange or register the transfer of (a) any Debt Securities for a period of fifteen days next preceding any selection of Debt Securities to be redeemed, or (b) any Debt Securities selected, called or being called for redemption.

SECTION 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Debt Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Debt Security of the same series and date of maturity in the same principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Debt Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Debt Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Debt Security shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee shall authenticate any such substituted Debt Security and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt Security, the Company or the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. In case any Debt Security which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (upon surrender thereof in the case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them

harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof.

Every substituted Debt Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Debt Security of such series is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security of such series shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of such series duly issued hereunder. All Debt Securities of any series shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities of such series and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

SECTION 2.07. Temporary Debt Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities of such series (printed, lithographed or otherwise produced). Temporary Debt Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debt Securities, all as may be determined by the Company and the Trustee. Every such temporary Debt Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions, in substantially the same manner and with the same effect as the definitive Debt Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Company will cause to be prepared, and will execute and deliver to the Trustee definitive Debt Securities of such series, whereupon any or all temporary Debt Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor at the office or agency of the Company, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Debt Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series and date of maturity. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor except that the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.08. Cancellation of Debt Securities Paid, Etc. All Debt Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer, shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent or any Debt Security registrar, be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation and promptly cancelled by it, in accordance with its then customary procedures or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly cancelled by it in accordance with its then customary procedures, and no Debt Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. Upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee may destroy cancelled Debt Securities and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Debt Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the

indebtedness represented by such Debt Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.09. Debt Securities to be Treated Equally. All Debt Securities of each series issued under this Indenture shall in all respects be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits hereof with respect to such series without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication and delivery or maturity of the Debt Securities of such series.

SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise provided in the Certified Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto setting forth the terms on any series of Debt Securities, interest on the Debt Securities of such series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.11. Global Debt Securities; Depositary. For the purposes of this Indenture, the term “Agent Member” shall mean a member of, or participant in, a Depositary; the term “Depositary” shall mean, with respect to Debt Securities issuable or issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities, the clearing agency registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 designated as Depositary in a Certified Resolution, or in an indenture supplemental hereto, pursuant to Section 2.02, and if at any time there is more than one such agency, “Depositary” as used with respect to the Debt Securities shall mean the respective Depositary with respect to a particular series of Debt Securities; and the term “Global Debt Security” shall mean a global certificate evidencing all or part of the series of Debt Securities, executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and issued to the Depositary for the series or such portion of the series, and registered in the name of such Depositary or its nominee.

If a particular series of Debt Securities are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities, as specified in a Certified Resolution, or in an indenture supplemental hereto, pursuant to Section 2.02, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.03 with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver each such Global Debt Security, which (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such Global Debt Security, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Debt Security or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction and (iv) unless otherwise specified in such Certified Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto, shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “THIS DEBT SECURITY IS A GLOBAL DEBT SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS GLOBAL DEBT SECURITY MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR A SECURITY REGISTERED, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS GLOBAL DEBT 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.”

Notwithstanding Section 2.05, except as otherwise specified in a Certified Resolution, or in an indenture supplemental hereto, as contemplated by Section 2.02, any Global Debt Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. A Global Debt Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to this Section 2.11 if (x)(i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Debt Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and (ii) the Company is unable to arrange for a qualified successor, (y) the Company in its sole discretion determines that all Global Debt Securities of any series then outstanding shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series in registered form or (z) an Event of Default, or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, with respect to the Debt Securities of the series represented by such Global Debt Security has occurred and is continuing. Any Global Debt Security of such series that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series in registered form, bearing interest (if any) at the same rate or pursuant to the same formula, having the same date of issuance, redemption provisions, if any, currency of payment, date of maturity and other terms and of differing denominations aggregating a like amount. Such definitive Debt Securities of such series shall be registered in the names of the owners of the beneficial interests in such Global Debt Securities of such series as such names are from time to time provided by the relevant participants in the Depositary holding such Global Debt Securities (as such participants are identified from time to time by such Depositary).

No Global Debt Security may be transferred except as a whole (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or (ii) by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or (iii) by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. Except as provided above, owners solely of beneficial interest in a Global Debt Security shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Debt Securities of such series in definitive form and will not be considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under this Indenture.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular series of Global Debt Securities have been exchanged for definitive Debt Securities or a particular Global Debt Security of a series has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Debt Security shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.08. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Debt Security is exchanged for a definitive Debt Security or a particular Global Debt Security of a series has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in part and not in whole, the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series represented by such Global Debt Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Debt Security, by the Trustee, the custodian of such Debt Security or the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

In the event that a Global Debt Security is surrendered for redemption in part pursuant to Article Three or Four, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Debt Security, without service charge, a new Global Debt Security in a denomination and tenor equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal for the Global Debt Security so surrendered.

Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of any beneficial ownership interest in any Global Debt Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest. The Agent Members shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Debt Security held on their behalf by a Depositary, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Debt Security for all purposes whatsoever.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a Debt Security of any series, including without limitation the granting of proxies or other authorization of participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Indenture.

SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Debt Securities of any series may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption or repurchase 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 such Debt Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption or repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE THREE
SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article Three shall be applicable to any sinking fund established in or pursuant to a Certified Resolution under Section 2.02 or one or more indentures supplemental hereto for the retirement of Debt Securities of any series, except as otherwise specified in such Certified Resolution or supplemental indenture.

The sinking fund payment required to be made under the terms of the Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any sinking fund payment that is not required to be made but is permitted by the terms of the Debt Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. Unless otherwise provided for by the terms of the Debt Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of the Debt Security of any series as provided for by the terms of the Debt Securities of such series.

SECTION 3.02. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Debt Securities. The Company may, at its option, as specified by it in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.03 reduce and satisfy the obligation to make a mandatory sinking fund

payment in the amount of the redemption price, together with accrued interest to the redemption date on Debt Securities otherwise to be redeemed, of any Debt Securities (a) acquired by the Company and delivered by it to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) redeemed otherwise than through the operation of the mandatory sinking fund, and in each case under clauses (a) and (b) delivered or redeemed on or prior to the date of delivery of such Officers’ Certificate and not theretofore made the basis for a reduction of a mandatory sinking fund payment.

SECTION 3.03. Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than sixty days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Debt Securities (or such later date as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next succeeding sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Debt Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Debt Securities to be so credited which have not theretofore been delivered. Not less than thirty days before each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Debt Securities of such series to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Article Four and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Article Four. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Article Four. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such Officers’ Certificate when due (or to deliver the Debt Securities specified in this Section 3.03) the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for that series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Debt Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Debt Securities as provided in Section 3.02 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series.

Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash which shall equal or exceed $100,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date next succeeding the date of such payment) to the redemption of such Debt Securities at the redemption price specified in such Debt Securities for operation of the sinking fund, together with accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.05, any sinking fund payment not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.03. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.05, any and all sinking fund payments with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Debt Securities of such series shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Debt Securities of such series at maturity.

ARTICLE FOUR
REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

SECTION 4.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article Four shall be applicable to any redemption provisions established in or pursuant to a Certified Resolution under Section 2.02 or one or more indentures supplemental hereto with respect to any series of Debt Securities, except as otherwise provided in such Certified Resolution under Section 2.02 or supplemental indenture.

SECTION 4.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities. In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Debt Securities of any series, as evidenced by a Board Resolution, it shall fix a date for redemption and give notice of such redemption by first class mail postage prepaid at least thirty and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the holders of Debt Securities so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at their last addresses as the same appear on the Debt Security register. The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Debt Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which such Debt Securities are to be redeemed, whether the redemption is through operation of a sinking, purchase or analogous fund, the place of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, the CUSIP number, that interest accrued (if any) to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall specify the Debt Securities to be redeemed. In case any Debt Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

On or prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 4.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.04) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Debt Securities so called for redemption at the applicable redemption price, together with accrued interest (if any) to the date fixed for redemption.

If fewer than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed the Company will give the Trustee notice not less than sixty days prior to the redemption date as to the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of such series to be redeemed and the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed.

SECTION 4.03. Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 4.02, the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities so to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued (if any) to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Debt Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued (if any) to said date) interest on such Debt Securities or such portions of Debt Securities shall cease to accrue. Upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at the place of payment in said notice specified, the said Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon (if any) to the date fixed for redemption.

If any Debt Security or portion thereof called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and premium, if any, shall, until paid, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate borne by such Debt Security or such portion thereof, or at such other rate provided in the Certified Resolution relating to such Debt Security or the supplemental indenture under which such Debt Security is issued. Upon presentation and surrender of any Debt Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debt Security so presented and surrendered.

SECTION 4.04. Optional Redemption For Tax Reasons. The Company shall be entitled to redeem all, but not part, of the Debt Securities of a series if as a result of (x) a change in or an amendment to the laws, regulations or rulings of the Relevant Tax Jurisdiction, (y) any change in or amendment to any official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, or (z) any change in or amendment to any official position regarding the application or interpretation of, or any execution of or amendment to, any treaty or treaties affecting taxation to which such Relevant Tax Jurisdiction is a party, in each case, which change or amendment is announced or execution or amendment occurred, as the case may be, after the date of the prospectus supplement used in connection with the issuance of the Debt Securities of such series (a “Change in Tax Law”), the Payor is or would be obligated to pay, on the next following date on which any amount would be payable with respect to such Debt Securities, Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 5.09 and the payment of such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the Payor after taking reasonable measures available to it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Four, the Company must (i) deliver to the Trustee, before the Company publishes or mails any notice of redemption of the Debt Securities that are being redeemed on the basis of this Section 4.04, an officers’ certificate to the effect that the Payor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it and an opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing stating that the Payor has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of such Change in Tax Law and (ii) provide the Holders with notice of the intended redemption at least 30 days and no more than 60 days before the date of redemption. The redemption price will equal the principal amount of the Debt Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record of such Debt Securities on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

	(e)		any combination of the above;

nor will Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any Debt Security to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or limited liability company or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the Relevant Tax Jurisdiction to be included in the income for

tax purposes of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership, limited liability company or beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the holder of such Debt Security.

The Payor shall provide the Trustee with the official acknowledgment of the relevant tax authority (or, if such acknowledgment is not available, a certified copy thereof) evidencing the payment of the withholding taxes by the Payor.

then in the case in which any Event of Default specified in Section 7.01 (e), (f), (h) or (i) shall have occurred, all Applicable Debt Securities (as hereinafter defined) shall automatically become due and payable immediately without further action or notice, and in each and every case in which any other Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, unless the principal of all of the Applicable Debt Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Debt Securities then Outstanding hereunder[, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by holders of the Applicable Debt Securities),] may declare the principal of all the Applicable Debt Securities (or such portion thereof as may be provided in the Certified Resolution under Section 2.02 relating to such series or any supplemental indenture under which such Applicable Debt Securities are issued) and the accrued interest to be due and payable immediately and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Applicable Debt Securities to the contrary notwithstanding. In the case of Applicable Debt Securities issued bearing no interest or below-market interest, the amount that may be declared due and payable immediately shall be the portion of the principal specified in the Certified Resolution under Section 2.02 relating to such series or any supplemental indenture under which such Applicable Debt Securities are issued. The term “Applicable Debt Securities” shall mean the Debt Securities of a series with respect to which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and unless otherwise specifically provided with respect to a particular series of Debt Securities in the Certified Resolutions under Section 2.02 relating to such series or any indentures supplemental to this Indenture under which such series of Debt Securities is issued shall refer to Debt Securities on a series by series basis such that the provisions hereof shall be applied separately to each series of Debt Securities affected by such Event of Default. Any declaration pursuant to this Section 7.01 is, however, subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Applicable Debt Securities shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the money due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, (a) the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee (i) a sum sufficient to pay all matured interest upon all the Applicable Debt Securities and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Applicable Debt Securities which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration, with interest on overdue interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal and premium, if any, at the rate borne by the Applicable Debt Securities, or at such other rate as may be provided in the Certified Resolution under Section 2.02 relating to such series or any supplemental indenture under which such Applicable Debt Securities are issued, to the date of such payment or deposit, and (ii) all sums paid or advances made by the Trustee hereunder and all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 8.06, and (b) any and all Events of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Applicable Debt Securities, other than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on Applicable Debt Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been remedied, cured or waived, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Applicable Debt Securities then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults related to such Applicable Debt Securities and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

In case the Trustee or any of the Debt Securityholders shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or such Debt Securityholders, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee and such Debt Securityholders shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee and such Debt Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

SECTION 7.02. Payment of Applicable Debt Securities on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that (a) in case defaults shall be made in the payment of any interest upon any of the Applicable Debt Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on any of the Applicable Debt Securities as and when the same shall have become due and payable (subject to subsection (c) below), whether at maturity of the Applicable Debt Securities or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise, or (c) in case default shall be made in the payment for any sinking, purchase or similar fund provided for in respect of any of the Applicable Debt Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty days, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Applicable Debt Securities, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Applicable Debt Securities for principal and premium, if any, or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Applicable Debt Securities or at such other rate as may be provided in the Certified Resolution under Section 2.02 relating to such series or any supplemental indenture under which such Applicable Debt Securities are issued; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 8.06.

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

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor under the Debt Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Debt Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions

of this Section 7.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities, and to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any amounts owing the Trustee under Section 8.06) and of the holders of Debt Securities allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of its charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Debt Securities to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Debt Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amounts owing the Trustee under Section 8.06 up to the date of such distribution.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Debt Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Debt Securities of such series, or the production thereof on any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Debt Securities of such series.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Debt Securityholder 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 Debt Securityholder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 7.03. Application of Money Collected by Trustee. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Seven with respect to a series of Debt Securities shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such money, upon presentation of the several Debt Securities of such series, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid.

First: To the payment of all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 8.06;

Second: In case the principal on none of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series shall have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest, if any, which has become due and is unpaid on the Debt Securities of such series, in the order of the maturity of such interest, with interest (to the extend permitted by applicable law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Debt Securities or at such other rate as may be provided in the Certified Resolution under Section 2.02 relating to such series or any supplemental indenture under which such series of Debt Securities is issued (such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto);

Third: In case the principal of any of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if

any, with interest on the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Debt Securities of such series or at such other rate as may be provided in the Certified Resolution under Section 2.02 relating to such series or any supplemental indenture under which such series of Debt Securities is issued; and in case such money shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Debt Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, without preference or priority of principal and premium, if any, over interest, if any, of interest over principal and premium, if any, or if any interest over any other interest, or of any Debt Security of such series over any other Debt Security of such series ratably to the aggregate of such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any; and

Fourth: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company, its successors or assigns, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

SECTION 7.04. Proceedings by Debt Securityholders. No holder of any Applicable Debt Security of any series shall have any right by virtue of or by availing himself of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, in each case with respect to an Event of Default related to such Applicable Debt Securities, unless such Holder previously shall have given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee written notice of default with respect to the Applicable Debt Securities of such series and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of such Applicable Debt Securities then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for sixty days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such sixty-day period by the holders of a majority in principal amount of such outstanding Applicable Debt Securities, it being understood and intended and being expressly covenanted by the holder of every Debt Security of a series with every other holder of a Debt Security of such series and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Debt Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing himself or themselves of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of such Debt Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Debt Securities of such series.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the right of any holder of any Debt Security, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Debt Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 7.05. Proceeding by Trustee. In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing hereunder with respect to any Applicable Debt Securities, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture with respect to such Applicable Debt Securities, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

SECTION 7.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by this Article Seven to the Trustee or to the holders of Debt Securities of any series shall, to the extend permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Debt Securities of such series, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Debt Securities of a series to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Seven or by law to the Trustee or to the Debt Securityholders of a series may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Debt Securityholders of such series.

SECTION 7.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Debt Securityholders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of Section 8.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to the holders of Debt Securities of such series not joining in such direction. Prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Debt Securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Debt Securities of such series, waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, or any of the Debt Securities of such series, or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Eleven cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debt Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Debt Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default (as defined in Section 7.08) or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 7.07 said default or Event of

Default shall for all purposes of the Debt Securities of such series and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.

SECTION 7.08. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, mail to all holders of Debt Securities of each series, as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Debt Security register, notice of all each default known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "default” for the purpose of this Section 7.08 being hereby defined to be any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series); and provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors or trustees, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Debt Securityholders of such series.

SECTION 7.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Debt Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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 Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, have due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit institute by any Debt Securityholder, or group of Debt Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any holder of a Debt Security of any series for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Debt Security of such series on or after the due date expressed in such Debt Security.

SECTION 7.10. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants and agrees (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 wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) 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 EIGHT
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 8.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred and are continuing, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are

specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

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

(a)

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

(1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

	(b)		the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

	(c)		the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding determined as provided in Section 9.04 relating to the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series under this Indenture; and

	(d)		no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 8.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

	(b)		the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

	(c)		any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee by a Certified Resolution;

	(d)		the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

	(e)		the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Debt Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Debt Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

	(f)		the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

	(g)		prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any series of Debt Securities hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default with respect to such series of Debt Securities, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document with respect to such series of Debt Securities, unless requested in writing to do so by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of Debt Securities of such series then outstanding; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liability as a condition to so proceeding;

	(h)		the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder directly or by or through agents or counsel, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or counsel appointed with due care by it hereunder;

	(i)		the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any Event of Default or defaults hereunder unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof or unless the holders of not less than twenty-five percent of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series as to which there exists an Event of Default or default gives notice of such Event of Default or default; and

	(j)		the permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

SECTION 8.03. Responsibility for Recitals, Etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Debt Securities (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Debt Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 8.04. Trustee, Paying Agent or Debt Security Registrar May Own Debt Securities. The Trustee, any paying agent, Debt Security registrar or any other agent of the Company in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent, Debt Security registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 8.05. Money to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.04, all money received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which it was received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 8.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which to the extent permitted by law shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent jointly and severally also agree to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligation of the Company under this Section 8.06 to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Debt Securities.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01 (e) or Section 7.01(f), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 8.07. Officers’ Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

SECTION 8.08. Conflicting Interest of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 8.09. Eligibility of Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least five million dollars, subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with provisions of this Section 8.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.10. Neither the Company nor a Person directly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee.

SECTION 8.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights and powers of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.06.

SECTION 8.12. Succession by Merger, Etc.

In case at the time such successor Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities, any of such Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Debt Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in such Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Debt Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

SECTION 8.13. Limitation on Rights of Trustee as a Creditor. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Debt Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 9.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

GUARANTEE

SECTION 16.01. Guarantee. Except as otherwise provided herein, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Debt Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Debt Securities and all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture, including all obligations hereunder of the Company to the Trustee, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, upon a repurchase date or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of the Debt Securities and of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company punctually to make any such payment, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent hereby agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the stated maturity or by acceleration, call for redemption, upon a repurchase date or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Debt Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same or any release (other than by operation of Article Thirteen), amendment, waiver or indulgence granted to the Company or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or any consent to departure from any requirement of any other guarantee of all or any of the Debt Securities or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, any requirement that the Trustee or any of the Holders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest in or other lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Company or any other Person or any collateral, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to the Debt Securities or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged in respect of the Debt Securities except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Debt Securities and in such Guarantee or the operation, as applicable, of Article Thirteen. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Debt Securities, to collect any principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Debt Securities, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Debt Securities, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent agrees to pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.

▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities upon which its Guarantee is endorsed against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent on account of the Debt Securities pursuant to the provisions of its Guarantee or this Indenture; provided, however, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payment arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, all Debt Securities issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.

This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Debt Securities, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any holder of the Debt Securities, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Debt Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Any term or provision of this Guarantee to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate amount of the obligations guaranteed hereunder shall be reduced to the extent necessary to prevent this Guarantee from violating or becoming voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 16.02. Release of Guarantee.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article Sixteen to the contrary, concurrently with the payment in full of (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities and (ii) all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall be released from and relieved of its obligations under this Article Sixteen. Upon the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the transaction giving rise to the release of this Guarantee was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Debt Securities, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent from its obligations under this Guarantee. If any of the obligations to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities and all other obligations of the Company are revived and reinstated after the termination of this Guarantee, then all of the obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent under this Guarantee shall be revived and reinstated as if this Guarantee had not been terminated until such time as the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities and all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture are paid in full, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall enter into an amendment to this Guarantee, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, evidencing such revival and reinstatement.
