Item 1.01.
Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
Indenture
On September 25, 2014, Tiffany & Co. (the “ Company ”) completed its previously announced offering of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.800% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “ 2024 Notes ”) and $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.900% Senior Notes due 2044 (the “ 2044 Notes ” and, together with the 2024 Notes, the “ Notes ”) in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).
The Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2014 (the “ Base Indenture ”), among the Company, as issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “ Trustee ”), as amended and supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1 and Supplemental Indenture No. 2, each by and among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries named therein, as guarantors thereto (the “ Guarantors ”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (each, a “ Supplemental Indenture ” and collectively with the Base Indenture, the “ Indenture ”). The Base Indenture and Supplemental Indentures, which include the form of the Notes, are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7, and are incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Indenture and the Notes in this report are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, respectively.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to redeem all of the aggregate principal outstanding of its (i) $100,000,000 principal amount of 9.05% Series A Senior Notes due December 23, 2015; (ii) $125,000,000 principal amount of 10.0% Series A-2009 Senior Notes due February 13, 2017; (iii) $50,000,000 principal amount of 10.0% Series A Senior Notes due April 9, 2018; and (iv) $125,000,000 principal amount of 10.0% Series B-2009 Senior Notes due February 13, 2019 (collectively, the “ Private Placement Notes ”) prior to maturity in accordance with the respective note purchase agreements governing each series of Private Placement Notes. The Company intends to use any remaining net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes.

The Notes are the Company’s general unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future subordinated debt. The Notes are effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. Initially, the Company’s obligations under the Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors, which are the same subsidiaries that guarantee the borrowings under the Company’s existing unsecured senior credit facilities (the “ Existing Senior Credit Facilities ”). The Company has recently announced that it is seeking commitments to replace the Existing Senior Credit Facilities with new unsecured senior credit facilities (the “ New Senior Credit Facilities ”), which are also expected to be initially guaranteed by each of the Guarantors. The guarantees of the Notes, as well as the guarantees of the Company’s obligations under the New Senior Credit Facilities, will automatically terminate at such time as the Guarantors no longer guarantee any other indebtedness of the Company, excluding indebtedness (other than for borrowed money) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000,000. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment to all of the future unsecured senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of the Guarantors’ future subordinated debt. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the Guarantors’ future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The Notes are also structurally subordinated to the liabilities (including trade payables) of subsidiaries of the Company that have not guaranteed the Notes.
The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.800% per annum, accruing from September 25, 2014. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2015. The 2044 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.900% per annum, accruing from September 25, 2014. Interest on the 2044 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2015. The Company will make each interest payment to the holders of record of the Notes on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15.
The Company may redeem all or part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on those Notes to the redemption date, plus (iii) a make-whole premium as of the redemption date. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2024 Notes on or after July 1, 2024, at a redemption price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on those 2024 Notes to the redemption date. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2044 Notes on or after April 1, 2044, at a redemption price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount of the 2044 Notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on those 2044 Notes to the redemption date.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture), unless the Company has exercised its

2



right to redeem the Notes, each holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries under certain circumstances to create liens and impose conditions on the Company’s ability to engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of its or its subsidiaries’ assets.
The Indenture also contains certain “Events of Default” (as defined in the Indenture) customary for indentures of this type. If an Event of Default for a series of Notes has occurred and is continuing, other than certain events of default involving the Company’s bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of Notes then outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such series of Notes then outstanding shall, declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all the applicable series of Notes to be due and payable.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the sale of the Notes, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2014 (the “ Registration Rights Agreemen t”), with the Guarantors and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representatives of the initial purchasers of the Notes named therein. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed to (i) file a registration statement (the “ Exchange Offer Registration Statement ”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) with respect to a registered offer (the “ Exchange Offer ”) to exchange the Notes for new notes of the Company having terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Notes (the “ Exchange Notes ”), (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be completed on or prior to September 25, 2015 and (iii)  use commercially reasonable efforts to issue on or prior to 35 business days, or longer, if required by applicable securities laws, after the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, the Exchange Notes in exchange for all Notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer.
If the Exchange Offer is not consummated, under certain circumstances and within specified time periods, the Company and the Guarantors are required to file a shelf registration statement (the “ Shelf Registration Statement ”) covering resales of the Notes on or prior to 90 days after such filing obligation arises, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective on or prior to 180 days after such filing obligation arises and to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective until such time as the Notes cease to be registrable securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).
Subject to certain limitations, the Company and the Guarantors will be required to pay the holders of the Notes special interest on the Notes if (i) the Exchange Offer is not completed on or prior to September 25, 2015, (ii) the Company and the Guarantors fail to file any Shelf Registration Statement required by the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the date specified for such filing, (iii) any such Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the date specified for such effectiveness, (iv) the Company and the Guarantors fail to consummate the Exchange Offer within 35 business days after the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, or (v) the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of registrable securities during specified time periods.
A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.8 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Registration Rights Agreement in this report is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

9



Section 2.4.     Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer Agent .
The Company will maintain one or more paying agents (each, a “ Paying Agent ”) for the Securities. The initial Paying Agents will be the Trustee or its affiliate and thereafter “ Paying Agent ” shall mean or include each Person who is then a Paying Agent hereunder, and if at any time there is more than one such Person, “ Paying Agent ” as used with respect to the Securities of any Series shall mean the Paying Agent with respect to Securities of that Series. The Company, upon written notice to the Trustee accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate, may appoint one or more paying agents, other than the Trustee, for all or any series of the Securities. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as paying agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries, upon notice to the Trustee, may act as paying agent.
The Company will maintain one or more registrars (each, a “ Registrar ”) for the Securities. The initial Registrar will be the Trustee or its affiliate and thereafter “ Registrar ” shall mean or include each Person who is then a Registrar hereunder, and if at any time there is more than one such Person, “ Registrar ” as used with respect to the Securities of any Series shall mean the Registrar with respect to Securities of that Series. The Company, upon written notice to the Trustee accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate, may appoint one or more registrars, other than the Trustee, for all or any series of the Securities. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as registrar, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries, upon notice to the Trustee, may act as registrar.
The Company will also maintain a transfer agent (each, a “ Transfer Agent ”) for the Securities. The initial Transfer Agent will be the Trustee or its affiliate and thereafter “ Transfer Agent ” shall mean or include each Person who is then a Transfer Agent hereunder, and if at any time there is more than one such Person, “ Transfer Agent ” as used with respect to the Securities of any Series shall mean the Transfer Agent with respect to Securities of that Series. The Company, upon written notice to the Trustee accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate, may appoint one or more transfer agents, other than the Trustee, for all or any series of the Securities. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as transfer agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries, upon notice to the Trustee, may act as transfer agent.
The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent for its Securities without prior notice to the Holders.
Section 2.5.     Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust .
The Company shall require each Paying Agent appointed by it other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary

10



of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent.
Section 2.6.     Securityholder Lists .
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities.
Section 2.7.     Transfer and Exchange .
Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions set forth in this Indenture are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request upon the Trustee’s receipt of a Company Order from the Company. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6).
Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the delivery of a notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.
Section 2.8.     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities .
If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or

11



stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.8, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.8 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
Section 2.9.     Outstanding Securities .
The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Security, if applicable, effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.9 as not outstanding.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
The Company may purchase or otherwise acquire the Securities, whether by open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.
In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.

12



Section 2.10.     Treasury Securities .
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
Section 2.11.     Temporary Securities .
Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary Securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities.
Section 2.12.     Cancellation .
The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Agents shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and, upon the Company’s written request, shall return to the Company such canceled Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Company upon delivery of a Company Order. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.13.     Defaulted Interest .
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the record date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.
Section 2.14.     Global Securities .
2.14.1     Transfer and Exchange . Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in Section 2.7 of this Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such

13



Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.
Except as provided in this Section 2.14.1, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.
Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any tax or securities laws with respect to any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.
2.14.2.     Legend . Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
“THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HERINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY, BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”
2.14.3.     Acts of Holders . The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize 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.

14



2.14.4.     Payments . Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof, which in the case of a Depositary therefore will be made in accordance with its applicable procedures.
2.14.5.     Holders . The Company, the Trustee and each Agent shall treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered in the register maintained by the Registrar as the Holder for all purposes including for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions permitted or required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this Indenture.
2.14.6.    None of the Trustee or any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Security, a member of, or a participant in, the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Securities (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders with respect to the Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee and each Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.
Section 2.15.     CUSIP Numbers
The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and or “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” and or “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b)    The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, 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, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(d)    Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.

Section 4.02 .     Limitation on Guarantor Liability .

TIFFANY & CO.
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company designated as 3.800% Senior Notes due 2024 (hereinafter called the “ Notes ”) as hereinafter specified, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000 (except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned), all such Notes issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of September 25, 2014 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “ Base Indenture ”), as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of September 25, 2014, among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (the “ Supplemental Indenture ” and together with the Base Indenture, herein called the “ Indenture ”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Notes and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Notes and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Notes are and are to be authenticated and delivered.
In addition, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, the Company may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, Additional Notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes (except for the issue date and issue price); provided that such additional Notes shall be fungible with the Notes issued on the date hereof for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any Additional Notes having such similar terms, together with the applicable series of Notes issued on the date hereof, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
Guarantee
Pursuant to Article Four of the Supplemental Indenture, each Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall provide a Guarantee on a senior unsecured basis of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes. The Guarantors shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under the Indenture and the Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Supplemental Indenture.
Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (the “ Change of Control Offer ”) of payment in cash (the “ Change of Control Payment ”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the Change of Control Payment Date (as defined below); provided, that if the Repurchase Date falls after a Record Date and on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, interest otherwise due on the Interest Payment Date, will be paid to Holders of Notes on the Record Date and the Change of Payment will not include such accrued and unpaid interest.
Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or at the Company’s option, prior to the date of consummation of any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of such pending Change of Control, the Company is required to deliver a notice to each Holder of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee. Such notice will state, among other things, the Repurchase Date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, other than as may be required by law (the “ Change of Control Payment Date ”). The notice, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange Act ”) and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of

B- 5



such conflicts.
Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased.
The paying agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(b)    The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, 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, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company designated as 4.900% Senior Notes due 2044 (hereinafter called the “ Notes ”) as hereinafter specified, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $300,000,000 (except as provided in the Indenture hereinafter mentioned), all such Notes issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of September 25, 2014 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the “ Base Indenture ”), as supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 2, dated as of September 25, 2014, among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (the “ Supplemental Indenture ” and together with the Base Indenture, herein called the “ Indenture ”), to which Indenture and all other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Notes and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee for each series of Notes and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Notes are and are to be authenticated and delivered.
In addition, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, the Company may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, Additional Notes having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes (except for the issue date and issue price); provided that such additional Notes shall be fungible with the Notes issued on the date hereof for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any Additional Notes having such similar terms, together with the applicable series of Notes issued on the date hereof, shall constitute a single series of notes under the Indenture. No Additional Notes may be issued if an Event of Default has occurred with respect to the Notes.
Guarantee
Pursuant to Article Four of the Supplemental Indenture, each Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall provide a Guarantee on a senior unsecured basis of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture with respect to the Notes. The Guarantors shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under the Indenture and the Guarantee without any action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Supplemental Indenture.
Change of Control
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to an offer (the “ Change of Control Offer ”) of payment in cash (the “ Change of Control Payment ”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased, to the Change of Control Payment Date (as defined below); provided, that if the Repurchase Date falls after a Record Date and on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, interest otherwise due on the Interest Payment Date, will be paid to Holders of Notes on the Record Date and the Change of Payment will not include such accrued and unpaid interest.
Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or at the Company’s option, prior to the date of consummation of any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of such pending Change of Control, the Company is required to deliver a notice to each Holder of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee. Such notice will state, among other things, the Repurchase Date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, other than as may be required by law (the “ Change of Control Payment Date ”). The notice, if sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Company must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange Act ”) and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Notes by virtue of

B- 5



such conflicts.
Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased.
The paying agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

A Person is deemed to be a holder of Entitled Securities (each, a “ Holder ”) whenever such Person owns Entitled Securities.
SECTION 3.    REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER
(a)    The Company and the Guarantors shall (i) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission, (ii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective, (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause it to become effective, (B) file, if applicable, a

3



post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and (C) cause all necessary filings, if any, in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below have been complied with), upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (A) commence and Consummate the Exchange Offer on or prior to September 25, 2015 (such date being the “ Exchange Offer Consummation Deadline ”) and (B) use their commercially reasonable efforts to issue on or prior to 35 Business Days, or longer, if required by applicable securities laws, after the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission (such 35th Business Day, or such later date required by applicable securities laws, being the “ Exchange Notes Issue Deadline ”), Exchange Notes in exchange for all Initial Notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Initial Notes that are Entitled Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c) below.
(b)    The Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days. The Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement.
(c)    The Company shall include a “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Entitled Securities that were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such Entitled Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Entitled Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the date of this Agreement.

Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company and Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the Prospectus contained in the

4



Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Company and the Guarantors agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days from the Exchange Notes Issue Deadline or such shorter period as will terminate when all Entitled Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. The Company and the Guarantors shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon request, and in no event later than two Business Days after such request, at any time during such period.
SECTION 4.    SHELF REGISTRATION
(a) Shelf Registration . If (i) the Company and the Guarantors are not (A) required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; or (B) permitted to Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the Company and the Guarantors have complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below); or (ii) any Holder of Entitled Securities notifies the Company prior to the 20th Business Day following Consummation of the Exchange Offer that: (A) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer; (B) it may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a Prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales; or (C) it is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company and the Guarantors, shall:
(x) use their commercially reasonable efforts on or prior to 90 days after the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement will not be or cannot be, as the case may be, filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above and (ii) the date on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above (such earlier date, the “ Shelf Filing Trigger Date ” and 90 days after a Shelf Filing Trigger Date, a “ Shelf Filing Deadline ”), to file a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (the “ Shelf Registration Statement ”)), covering the resale of all Entitled Securities, and
(y) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to 180 days after the Shelf Filing Deadline for the Shelf Registration Statement (such 180th day the “ Shelf Effectiveness Deadline ”).
If, after the Company and the Guarantors have filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above, the Company and the Guarantors are required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i)(B) above), then the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Company and the Guarantors shall remain obligated to meet the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y).

5



To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is available for sales of Entitled Securities by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(b) and 6(c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least two years (as extended pursuant to Section 6(d)) following the Closing Date, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Entitled Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto or are no longer Entitled Securities.
(b)     Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement . No Holder may include any of its Entitled Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 15 days after receipt of a request therefor, the information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of the Act, or other information reasonably requested by the Company and required by Regulation S-K of the Act, for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. No Holder shall be entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until (and from and after such time) such Holder shall have provided all such information. Each selling Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading and shall promptly supply such other information as the Company may from time to time reasonably request.

SECTION 5.    ADDITIONAL INTEREST
If (i) the Exchange Offer is not Consummated on or prior to the Exchange Offer Consummation Deadline; (ii) the Company and the Guarantors fail to file any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Agreement on or before the Shelf Filing Deadline; (iii) any such Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline; (iv) the Company and the Guarantors fail to Consummate the Exchange Offer by the Exchange Notes Issue Deadline; or (v) the Shelf Registration Statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of Entitled Securities during the periods specified in this Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (v) above, a “ Registration Default ”), then the Company and the Guarantors will pay additional interest (“ Additional Interest ”), in the amounts described in the paragraph below, to each holder of Entitled Securities until all Registration Defaults have been cured.
With respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of the first Registration Default, Additional Interest will be paid in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Entitled Securities outstanding. The amount of the Additional Interest will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of Additional Interest for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum of the principal amount of the Entitled Securities

6



outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of clause (i) or (iv) above, (2) the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement, in the case of clause (ii) above, (3) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, in the case of clause (iii) above, or (4) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable in the case of clause (v) above, the Additional Interest payable with respect to the Entitled Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), as applicable, shall cease.

Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of Additional Interest will cease.
All accrued Additional Interest shall be paid by the Company and the Guarantors (or the Company and the Guarantors will cause the Paying Agent to make such payment on their behalf) to the Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture, the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which Additional Interest are due cease to be Entitled Securities, all obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to pay Additional Interest with respect to securities that accrued prior to the time that such securities ceased to be Entitled Securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.

SECTION 6.    REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
(a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement . In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall (x) comply with all applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered in the Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of its market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and (z) comply with all of the following provisions:
(i)    If, following the date hereof there has been announced a change in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the Exchange Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree either to (x) seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Entitled Securities, or (y) file, in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof, a Shelf Registration Statement to permit the registration and/or resale of the Entitled Securities that would otherwise be covered by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement but for the announcement of a change in Commission policy. In the case of clause (x) above, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take action not commercially reasonable to affect a change of Commission policy.

(ii)    As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder (including, without limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Company and the Guarantors (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer, (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business, and (D) only if such Holder is a Broker-Dealer that will receive Exchange Notes in exchange for Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own private account as a result of market making or other trading activities, it will deliver a Prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any sale of such Exchange Notes. As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (including, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K.

8



Guarantor’s information and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer, and (C) any other undertaking or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.
(b)     Shelf Registration Statement . In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall:
(i) comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Entitled Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company and the Guarantors will prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Entitled Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof within the time periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof, and
(ii)    issue to any Holder or purchaser of Initial Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, upon the request of any such Holder or purchaser, registered Initial Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes in the names as such Holder or purchaser shall designate.

If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Entitled Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;
(iv)    subject to Section 6(d), if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Entitled Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v)    furnish to each Holder whose Entitled Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) in connection with such exchange, registration or sale, if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such Holders in

10



connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least three Business Days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by reference) to which such Holders shall reasonably object within three Business Days after the receipt thereof;

The Company will, in any event, bear its and the Guarantors’ internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company or the Guarantors.
SECTION 8.    INDEMNIFICATION
(a) The Company and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, (including without limitation, any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could give rise to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act (or in any amendment or supplement thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any of the Holders.
(b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, and their respective directors and officers, and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, or the Guarantors to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors set forth in section (a) above, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Entitled Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the sum of: (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Entitled Securities plus (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
(c)    In case any action shall be commenced involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the “ indemnified party ”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “ indemnifying party ”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to this

15



Section 8(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Holder). Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party has been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company and Guarantors, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action effected with its written consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.
(d)    To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from their sale of Entitled Securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or such Guarantor, on the one hand, or by the Holder, on

16



the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.
The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to the sale of Entitled Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the sum of: (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Entitled Securities plus (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Entitled Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint.
SECTION 9.    RULE 144A AND RULE 144
The Company and each Guarantor agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Entitled Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company or such Guarantor (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial owner of Entitled Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Entitled Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such Entitled Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Entitled Securities pursuant to Rule 144.
SECTION 10.    TERMINATION OF GUARANTOR OBLIGATIONS
If at any time a Guarantor under this Agreement is released and discharged from its obligations to guarantee the Notes pursuant to the Indenture (whether such release and discharge occurs pursuant to Section 4.04 of the applicable Supplemental Indenture or otherwise), such Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement shall automatically and unconditionally terminate.

17



SECTION 11.    MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Remedies . The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that any failure by the Company and/or the Guarantors to comply with their respective obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. The Company and the Guarantors further agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(b) Free Writing Prospectus . The Company represents, warrants and covenants that it (including its agents and representatives) will not prepare, make, use, authorize, approve or refer to any “written communication” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act) in connection with the issuance and sale of the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes, other than (i) any communication pursuant to Rule 134, Rule 135 or Rule 135c under the Act, (ii) any document constituting an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes that falls within the exception from the definition of prospectus in Section 2(a)(10)(a) of the Act, or (iii) a prospectus satisfying the requirements of section 10(a) of the Act or of Rule 430, Rule 430A, Rule 430B, Rule 430C or Rule 431 under the Act.
(c) No Inconsistent Agreements . The Company and any Guarantor will not, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company and any Guarantor have not previously entered into, nor is currently a party to, any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person that would require such securities to be included in any Registration Statement filed hereunder. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.
(d)     Amendments and Waivers . The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 10(d)(i), the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of all outstanding Entitled Securities, and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Entitled Securities (excluding Entitled Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Entitled Securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose Entitled Securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer, may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Entitled Securities subject to such Exchange Offer.

18



(e)     Additional Guarantors . The Company shall cause any of its subsidiaries that become, prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, a Guarantor in accordance with Section 4.5 of the applicable Supplemental Indenture to become a party to this Agreement as a Guarantor.
(f)     Third Party Beneficiary . The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent they may deem such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.
(g)     Notices . All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, mail, facsimile or electronic transmission:
(i) if to a Holder, at the address set forth on the records of the Registrar under the Indenture, with a copy to the Registrar under the Indenture; and
