Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may
certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to
other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or
several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it
relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless
such Officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters
upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion may
be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an Officer or Officers of the Company stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows
that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications,
requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture,
they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.
Section 105. Acts of Holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may
be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed
by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein
otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
-11-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent
shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in
favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same,
may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.
The principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of
holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.
If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to
a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record
date shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If
such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record
at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or
agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date;
provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date
shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date. Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future
Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer
thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered
to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Note.
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard
to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such
Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action
taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to
-12-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such
different part.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including the Depository that
is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in
writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and the Depository that is the
Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in
any such Global Note through such depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by the
Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or
proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders.
Section 106. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Company and Agent. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or
permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,
(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at 1100
North Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19890, Attn: Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. Administrator, its
Corporate Trust Office, or
(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-
class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to the Company addressed to
it at Flagstar Bancorp Inc., 5151 Corporate Drive, Troy, Michigan 48098, fax: (248) 312-6770;
Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Trustee by the Company. The Company or the Trustee by written notice to the others may
designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.
(3) The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to
this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured
electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency
certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing
specimen signatures of such designated persons, as may be amended from time to time to reflect
additions or deletions from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee e-mail or
facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its
discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions
shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses
arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such
instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent
written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such
electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without
-13-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception
and misuse by third parties.
Section 107. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice of
any event to Holders by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Note Register, within the
time prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Notices
given by publication shall be deemed given on the first date on which publication is made and
notices given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, shall be deemed given five calendar days after
mailing.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the
Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, subject to the
requirements of the TIA, where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event
(including any notice of redemption) to any Holder of an interest in a Global Note (whether by
mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depository or any other
applicable depositary for such Global Note (or its designee) according to the applicable
procedures of the Depository or such depositary.
Section 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section
headings herein, the Table of Contents and the reconciliation and tie between the TIA and this
Indenture are for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof
and shall in no way affect the construction of, or modify or restrict, any of the terms or
provisions hereof.
Section 109. Successors and Assigns. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture
and the Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind
its successors.
Section 110. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 111. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or
implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, any Note
Registrar and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
Section 112. Governing Law; Jury Trial Waiver. This Indenture and the Notes shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Indenture
-14-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this
Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.
EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE HOLDERS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 113. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Note shall be a Legal Holiday, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of principal (or
premium, if any) or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue for
purposes of such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption
Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.
Section 114. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company shall have any
liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, this Indenture, or for any claim
based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes.
Section 115. Trust Indenture Act Controls. Upon qualification of this Indenture under
the TIA, if any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision
which is required to be included in this Indenture by the TIA, the provision required by the TIA
shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA
that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this
Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.
Section 116. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but
one and the same instrument. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. The exchange
of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile, .pdf transmission or other
electronic means shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture for all
purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or .pdf transmission or other
electronic means shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.
Section 117. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for
any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services.

with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify, and record
information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an
account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee
with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the
U.S.A. Patriot Act.

is in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The terms of the Note set forth in the Appendix and the form of the Exchange
Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture.
Section 202. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer. The signature of an Officer on the Notes may
be manual or via facsimile, .pdf transmission or other electronic means of the present or any
future such authorized Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes.
Notes bearing the signature of an individual who was at any time a proper Officer of the
Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individual ceased to hold such
office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such office at the
date of such Notes.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together
with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in

and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Initial Notes. At any time and from time to time after the Issue Date, the Company may deliver
Additional Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with (i) a

issuance of Notes contained herein have been fully complied with, and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel which shall state that the form and terms of the Additional Notes have been established
in conformity with this Indenture, and that such Additional Notes, when authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company, will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,

cancellation of Initial Notes and any Additional Notes of a like aggregate principal amount in
accordance with an Exchange Offer pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement and a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of such Exchange Notes and certifying that all

any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form provided for in Exhibit 1 to the Appendix, duly executed by the Trustee by manual
signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person
resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall
have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other
disposition as aforesaid, shall have expressly assumed the obligations of the Company pursuant
to Article Eight of this Indenture, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at
the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the
successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but
otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like
principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Request of the successor Person, shall
authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If
-17-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person
pursuant to this Section in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any

ARTICLE THREE
THE NOTES
Section 301. Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be
authenticated and issued under this Indenture is not limited; provided, however that any
Additional Notes issued under this Indenture rank pari passu with the Initial Notes, are issued in
accordance with Sections 202 and 312 hereof, form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall
have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes.
The Notes shall be known and designated as the “6.125% Senior Notes due 2021” of the
Company. The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be July 15, 2021, and the Notes shall bear
interest at the rate set forth below from July 11, 2016, or from the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable on January 15, 2017 and semi-
annually thereafter on January 15 and July 15 in each year and at said Stated Maturity, until the
principal thereof is paid or duly provided for and to the Person in whose name the Note (or any
Predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on the January 1 and July 1 immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”).
The principal of (and premium, if any), Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the
Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose or, at
the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at
their respective addresses set forth in the Note Register; provided that all payments of principal,
premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, with respect to Notes represented by
one or more permanent Global Notes registered in the name of or held by the Depository or its
nominee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified
by the Holder or Holders thereof, and all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest and
Additional Interest, if any, with respect to one or more Certificated Notes at Stated Maturity shall
be made against presentation of such Certificated Note at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose.
Section 302. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof.
Section 303. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the
Company may execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
-18-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
substitutions and other variations as the Officer executing such Notes may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Notes to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall
be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or
agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to
the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company
shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until
so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Notes.
Section 304. Note Registrar; Paying Agent; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the
register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to
Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of
Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Note Register shall be in written form or any other form
capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times,
the Note Register shall be open to inspection by the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby initially
appointed as note registrar (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and
transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed to act as the
Paying Agent and to act as custodian with respect to the Global Notes.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the
Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.
At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized
denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be
exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive; provided that no
exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes shall occur until an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC, the Trustee shall have received an
Officer’s Certificate confirming that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the SEC and the Initial Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange Notes shall
be cancelled by the Trustee.
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if
so required by the Company or the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by
-19-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
written instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or
redemption of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
taxes, fees or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 202, 303, 906 or
1110 not involving any transfer.
Section 305. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If (1) any mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Trustee, or (2) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Company
and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required to protect the Company, the
Trustee, any agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a
Note is replaced, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has
been acquired by a Protected Purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial
Code) (a “Protected Purchaser”), the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay
such Note.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, 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) in
replacing a Note.
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company,
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any
and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 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 Notes.
Section 306. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
a) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or
more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 1002; provided, however, that, subject to Section 301 hereof, each installment of interest
may at the Company’s option be paid by (1) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon
-20-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 307, to the address of such
Person as it appears in the Note Register or (2) transfer to an account located in the United States
maintained by the payee.
b) Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
the Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and
(to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such
defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) may be
paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the
Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered
at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note
and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid
in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a Special Record
Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and
not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days
after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date, and cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be
given in the manner provided for in Section 107, not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid
to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be
payable pursuant to the following clause (2).
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other
lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on
which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the
Trustee.
c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall
carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Note.

509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
Section 307. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to the due presentment of a Note for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 304
and 306) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note
be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 308. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration
of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to
the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to
any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so acquire any of the Notes, however,
such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented
by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Notes
shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this
Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee
shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the
record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Evidence of the cancellation of such Notes
shall be delivered to the Company by the Trustee upon the Company’s request. The Trustee shall
maintain a record of all cancelled Notes. The Trustee shall provide the Company a list of all
Notes that have been cancelled from time to time as requested by the Company.
Section 309. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
Section 310. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and
shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note
is presented to the Note Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Note
Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section
8-401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Notes are presented to the Note
Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of
Notes of other denominations, the Note Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the
same requirements are met.
The Company shall not be required, and without the prior written consent of the
Company, the Note Registrar shall not be required, to register the transfer of or exchange of any
Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before provision of a
notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such provision,
(ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part and (iii) beginning at the opening of business on
any record date and ending on the close of business on the related Interest Payment Date.
Neither the Note Registrar nor the Trustee shall have the obligation or duty to monitor,
determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
-22-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other
than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly
required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements
hereof.
Section 311. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP”
numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case, if then generally in use) in addition
to serial numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use such “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common
Code” numbers in addition to serial numbers in notices of redemption, repurchase or other
notices to Holders as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common
Code” numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or
repurchase and that reliance may be placed only on the serial or other identification numbers
printed on the Notes, 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, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers applicable to the
Notes.
Section 312. Issuance of Additional Notes. From time to time the Company may,
without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, create and issue additional Notes
having identical terms and conditions to the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date (other than the
Issue Date, the issue price or the first payment of interest following the issue date of such
additional Notes) (the “Additional Notes”). Such Additional Notes and Exchange Notes issued
for any Additional Notes subsequently issued may be consolidated and form a single series with,
and will have similar terms as to ranking, redemption, waivers, amendments or otherwise as the
Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and Exchange Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes
issued on the Issue Date, and will vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the
Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and Exchange Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes
issued on the Issue Date, provided that such Additional Notes either shall be fungible with the
Initial Notes for U.S. Federal income tax purposes or shall be issued under a different CUSIP or
other identification number.
Notwithstanding anything else herein, with respect to any Additional Notes issued
subsequent to the date of this Indenture, when the context requires, (1) all references in the
Appendix and elsewhere in this Indenture to a Registration Rights Agreement shall be to the
Registration Rights Agreement, if any, entered into with respect to such Additional Notes, (2)
any references in this Indenture to the Exchange Offer, registration statement, Additional
Interest, Initial Purchasers, and any other term related thereto shall be to such terms as they are
defined in such Registration Rights Agreement, if any, entered into with respect to such
Additional Notes, (3) all time periods described in the Notes with respect to the registration of
such Additional Notes shall be as provided in such Registration Rights Agreement, if any,
entered into with respect to such Additional Notes, (4) any Additional Interest, if set forth in such
Registration Rights Agreement, may be paid to the holders of the Additional Notes immediately
prior to the making or the consummation of the Exchange Offer regardless of any other
provisions regarding record dates herein and (5) all provisions of this Indenture shall be
construed and interpreted to permit the issuance of such Additional Notes and to allow such
-23-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
Additional Notes to become fungible and interchangeable with the Initial Notes originally issued
under this Indenture (and Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor).
ARTICLE FOUR
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Upon the direction of the
Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to
all Notes specified in such Company Order, and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Order, at
the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the
Company acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such Notes, when
(1) either
(a) all such Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
(i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced
or paid as provided in Section 305 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company
and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided
in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(b) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation,
(i) have become due and payable, or
(ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity
within one year, or
(iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called
for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name,
and at the expense, of the Company,
and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to
be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in an
amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of,
any premium and interest on, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes
which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as the case may
be;
(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by
the Company with respect to such Outstanding Notes; and
-24-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such Notes have been complied with.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have
been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive
such satisfaction and discharge. In addition, nothing in this Section 401 shall be deemed to
discharge the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607 and the obligations of
the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 613 that, by their terms, survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section 402. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be
held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture,
to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal
(and premium and Additional Interest, if any) and interest for whose payment such money or
Government Securities has been deposited with the Trustee, but such money or Government
Securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section
401 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as
though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 401 until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 401; provided that if the
Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent.

Company in furtherance of any such action.
Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing (other than an
Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or (6)), then either the Trustee or the Holders of not
less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the
principal of all the Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders),
and upon any such declaration such principal and such accrued and unpaid interest shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default under Section 501(5) or (6) with respect to
the Company occurs and is continuing, then the principal of all the Notes, and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, thereon shall be automatically due and payable.
At any time after the Notes have been accelerated and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article Five
provided, the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul
such declaration and its consequences if:
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to
pay
(a) all overdue installments of any interest on any Notes which have
become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration,
(b) the principal of and any premium on any Notes which have
become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and, to the extent

installments of any interest, if any, which have become due otherwise than by
such declaration of acceleration at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be,

provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by
such Notes, and
(d) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and

acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.
-27-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. If an
Event of Default specified in Section 501(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its
own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of
the sums due hereunder pursuant to this Article Five and unpaid, and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel. The Trustee may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of
the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default specified in Sections 501(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders under this Indenture by the judicial proceedings discussed above as the Trustee shall
deem necessary to protect and enforce any such rights.
Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor, upon the
Notes or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee
(irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes 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 on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
(1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any)
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
(2) to collect, receive and distribute any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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 Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 607.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent
to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
-28-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of
action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the
Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding
relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for
the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.
Section 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money or property collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article Five shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates
fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or
premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the
payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of
which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest, respectively; and
THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct in writing; provided that all sums due and owing to the Holders
and the Trustee have been paid in full as required by this Indenture.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes
pursuant to this Section 506.
Section 507. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 508, no Holder of any Notes shall
have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or
the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless:
(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of
Default is continuing;
(2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have made
written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt
thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and
-29-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
(4) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have not
given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period,
it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference
over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders (it being further understood that
the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or
forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).
Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have
the contractual right, which is absolute and unconditional, to institute suit for the enforcement of
any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including Additional Interest)
on, the Notes on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date) on or after such respective dates, and such rights shall not
be changed without the consent of such Holder.
Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such
proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined
adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Company, any other obligor of the Notes, the Trustee and
the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.
Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last
paragraph of Section 305, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or
to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of
any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Trustee
or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient,
by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 512. Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
-30-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred on the Trustee, provided that:
(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,
(2) subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee may take any other
action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and
(3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or
be unduly prejudicial to the Holders not consenting.
Section 513. Waiver of Default. Subject to Sections 508 and 902, the Holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee
may on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes waive any Default hereunder and its
consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default (1) in respect of the payment of
interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any such Note held by a non-consenting Holder,
or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified
or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Company and any other
obligor on the Notes covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall 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 that would
prohibit or forgive the Company from paying any portion of the principal of, and premium, if
any, and interest on the Notes.
Section 515. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 515 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note
pursuant to Section 508 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the
then Outstanding Notes.
ARTICLE SIX
THE TRUSTEE
Section 601. Duties of the Trustee.
a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,
-31-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties 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 its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon 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 specifically required
by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine
the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture,
but not to verify the contents thereof including, but not limited to, the accuracy of
mathematical calculations.
b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or of which written notice in accordance with
Section 106 of such Event of Default or failure to make such payment shall have been given to
the Trustee by the Company, any other obligor of the Notes or by any Holder, 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. The Trustee shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of, or be required to act (including the sending of any notice) based on, any
event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such an event or has
obtained actual knowledge of such an event.
c) 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
(1) this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (a)
of this Section;
(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith
by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(3) 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 a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;
(4) 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;
-32-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
(5) the permissive right of the Trustee to take any action enumerated in this
Indenture shall not be construed as a duty; and
(6) under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual
capacity for the obligations evidenced by the Notes.
d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.
Section 602. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall
transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default
or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs unless such Default or Event of Default shall
have been cured or waived. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on any Note, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if it determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of
the Holders. In addition, the Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if in the best
judgment of the Trustee acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of such Notes.
Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of TIA Sections
315(a) through 315(d):
(1) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,

or other paper or document (whether in original, facsimile or .pdf form) believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of
Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;
(3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action
hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the
absence of bad faith on its part, request and rely upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel;
(4) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice of such

satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses, losses and liabilities which might be incurred by it
in compliance with such request or direction;
(6) 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,
direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into
such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further
inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the
Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the expense of the Company and shall incur no
liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;
(7) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with

conferred upon it by this Indenture;
(9) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and
other Person employed to act hereunder;
(10) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive
or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of
profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action;
(11) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the
performance of its powers and duties hereunder;
(12) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the
names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions
pursuant to this Indenture;
(13) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default

(14) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to take any action if the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; and
(15) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of
any other party, including the Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent or Depository (provided,
-34-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
however, that this protection shall not limit the responsibility or liability of Wilmington Trust,
National Association, in its capacity as Paying Agent or authenticating agent).
Section 604. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The recitals
contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be
taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Notes, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute
and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Notes and perform its obligations hereunder and that
the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company, if
applicable, are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. The Trustee shall
not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof.
Section 605. May Hold Notes. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar or
any other agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may
otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee,
Paying Agent, Note Registrar or such other agent; provided, however, that, if it acquires any
conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for
permission to continue or resign.
Section 606. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed
in writing with the Company.
Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in
writing between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a
trustee of an express trust);
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as shall be determined to have been caused by its own
negligence or willful misconduct; and
(3) to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and their respective agents
for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including taxes (other than the taxes based on the income of
the Trustee), incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part as finally adjudicated
by a court of competent jurisdiction, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim
-35-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
regardless of whether the claim is asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder
or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section.
The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee, to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances and to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and resignation or removal of the
Trustee. As security for the performance of such obligations of the Company, the Trustee shall
have a claim prior to the Notes upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as
such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
on particular Notes.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of
Default specified in Section 501(5) or (6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and
expenses of its counsel) of and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and
resignation or removal of the Trustee.
Section 608. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall be at all times a
Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall
have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of Federal, State,
territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section, 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. If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article
Six.
Section 609. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall become effective until the acceptance
of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements
of Section 610.
b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof within
30 days of such resignation to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument executed
by authority of the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and a copy to the successor Trustee. If the instrument of acceptance by a
successor Trustee required by Section 610 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
-36-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.
c) The Trustee may be removed with 30 days’ notice at any time by Act of
the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes,
delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a
successor Trustee required by Section 610 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may
petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.
d) The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided, however,
that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or
indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other
securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth
in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.
e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if
a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor
Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor
Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become
the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If
no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and
accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee.
f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to the Holders in the manner
provided for in Section 107. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee
and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
Section 610. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
a) Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring
to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held
-37-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
by such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the
Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in
and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.
b) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of
such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article
Six.
Section 611. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder (provided
that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Six) without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case
any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor
Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have
been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates
shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of
authentication of the Trustee; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any
predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or
consolidation.
Section 612. Appointment of Co-Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the trust
created under this Indenture may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and
may execute and deliver all instruments necessary to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-
trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of such trust, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Holders, such title to
the trust, or any part hereof, and subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-
trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a
successor trustee under Section 608 and no notice to Holders of the appointment of any co-
trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 609 hereof.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the
Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate
-38-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such
act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the
holding of title to the trust created by this Indenture or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-
trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
separate trustee or co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each
of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this
Indenture and the conditions of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its
acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided
therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of
this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or
rights (including the rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to,
the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee its agent
or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any
lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate
trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent
permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
Section 613. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Notes
remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent or agents with respect to
the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes (an
“Authenticating Agent”) and the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment to all
Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve, in the manner
provided for in Section 107. Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be promptly furnished to
the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any state thereof
-39-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a
combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of
such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding
to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent (provided that such corporation shall be
otherwise eligible under this Section) without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the
Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at
any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Notes, in the manner provided for in Section 107. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating
Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.
The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time such
compensation for its services under this Section as shall be agreed in writing between the
Company and such Authenticating Agent.
If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon,

shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of
portions of the principal amount of such Notes; provided, however, that no such partial
redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than
the minimum denomination for a Note established herein or pursuant hereto.
The Depository or the Trustee, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Company and the
Note Registrar in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Notes redeemed or to be
redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Notes which has been or is to be

ARTICLE TWELVE
[Reserved].
ARTICLE THIRTEEN
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
Section 1301. Company’s Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Company may, at its option, and at any time, elect to have either Section 1302 or Section
1303 be applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in
this Article Thirteen.
Section 1302. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise of the
above option applicable to this Section 1302 with respect to any Notes, the Company shall be
deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Notes on
the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).
For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid
and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Notes, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1305 and the other
Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph, and to have
satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are
concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments
reasonably requested by the Company acknowledging the same), except for the following which
-54-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such
Outstanding Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more
fully set forth in this Article Thirteen, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (ii) the obligations of the
Company and the Trustee with respect to such Notes under Sections 304, 305, 310, 1002 and
1003, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this
Article 13. The Company may exercise its option under this Section 1302 notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 1303 with respect to such Notes.
Section 1303. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option
applicable to this Section 1303 with respect to any Notes, the Company shall be released from its
obligations under Section 1004, Section 1005, Section 1006, Section 1008 and Section 1009 and,
to the extent specified pursuant to Section 301, any other covenant applicable to such Notes,
including any covenants provided pursuant to Section 901(b), with respect to such Outstanding
Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”), and such Notes shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for
the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be
deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to
comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth
in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference
in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default
under Section 501(3) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.
Section 1304. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following

Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 608 who shall agree to comply
with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose
of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to,
the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, (1) an amount in U.S. Dollars, or (2) Government
Securities applicable to such Notes which through the scheduled payment of principal and
interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day
before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on
such Notes, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount,
sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the
opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank, or
appraisal firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and
discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding
Notes on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest or the
-55-

applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments
or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Notes on the day on which such payments
are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Notes.
(2) Such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or
instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is
bound.
(3) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would
become an Event of Default with respect to such Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such deposit, and, solely in the case of Legal Defeasance under Section 1302, no
Event of Default with respect to such Notes under clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 or event which
with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such
Notes under clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 shall have occurred and be continuing at any time
during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that
this condition to Legal Defeasance under Section 1302 shall not be deemed satisfied until the
expiration of such period).
(4) In the case of Legal Defeasance pursuant to Section 1302, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel, appointed by the Company at
its expense, stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the
Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change
in applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such
opinion of independent counsel shall confirm that, the Holders and beneficial owners of such
Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance
had not occurred; or, in the case of Covenant Defeasance pursuant to Section 1303, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the
Holders and beneficial owners of such Outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to
federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would
have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred.
(5) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, under this Indenture have been complied with.
(6) If the monies or Government Securities or combination thereof, as the case may
be, deposited under clause (a) above are sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any,
and interest, if any, on such Notes provided such Notes are redeemed on a particular Redemption
Date, the Company shall have given the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem such Notes
on such date and to provide notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture.
-56-
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
(7) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 1304, such Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or
substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection
therewith pursuant to Section 301.
Section 1305. Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions. All cash and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section
1305, the “Qualifying Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of the Outstanding Notes
shall be held in trust and applied by the Qualifying Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of
such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company or a Subsidiary acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Qualifying
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon
in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money or Government
Securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Qualifying Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Securities deposited pursuant to
Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee
or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes.
Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Qualifying Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or
Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 1304 which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Qualifying Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would
then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article Thirteen.
Section 1306. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 1305 by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Outstanding Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 1302 or
1303, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all
such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 1305; provided, however, that
(a) if the Company makes any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any
Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government
Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent; and (b) unless otherwise required by any legal
proceeding or any other order or judgment of any court or governmental authority, the Trustee or
Paying Agent (if other than the Company) shall return all such money and Government
Securities to the Company promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such
reinstatement of the Company’s obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect.
Section 1307. Repayment to Company. Subject to any laws relating to abandoned
property, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
-57-

of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Note and cause, or direct the Notes Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing
instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Notes Custodian, the

the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Note to be exchanged and shall credit

the appropriate principal amount.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.
(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein

the Note Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures
containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited
with a beneficial interest in the Global Note. The Note Registrar shall, in accordance with
such instructions, instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified

Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.
(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global
Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Note Registrar shall reflect on its
books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to
which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
interest to be so transferred, and the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records
the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from
which such interest is being transferred.
(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the
provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole
except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the
Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository
or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor
Depository.
(iv) Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note
or an IAI Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through another
Transfer Restricted Note shall be made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and
the Restricted Notes Legend and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification from
the transferor in the form provided in Exhibit 2 for exchange or registration of transfers
and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as
may be requested pursuant thereto. In addition, in the case of a transfer of a beneficial
interest in either a Regulation S Global Note or a Rule 144A Global Note to an interest in
an IAI Global Note, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of
Exhibit 3 to the Trustee.
(v) During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests
in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through
Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, the Restricted
Notes Legend on such Regulation S Global Note and any applicable securities laws of
any state of the United States. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance
Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a
transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI
Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the
Restricted Notes Legend and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from
the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided in Exhibit 2 for exchange or
registration of transfers. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the
expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period. Upon the expiration of the
Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note
shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of the
Indenture.
(vi) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial
interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an
509335-2391-14594-Active.19515147.13
Unrestricted Global Note upon certification in the form provided in Exhibit 2 for an
exchange from a Regulation S Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note.
(vii) Beneficial interests in a Transfer Restricted Note that is a Rule 144A
Global Note or an IAI Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an
Unrestricted Global Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Note Registrar that its
request for such exchange is in respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such
certification to be in the form set forth in Exhibit 2) and/or upon delivery of such legal
opinions, certifications and other information as the Company or the Trustee may
reasonably request.
(viii) If no Unrestricted Global Note is outstanding at the time of a transfer
contemplated by the preceding clauses (vi) and (vii), the Company shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s
Certificate, a new Unrestricted Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.
(ix) In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes
pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix, prior to the consummation of a Registered
Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to
such Notes, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as
are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the
certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes (as set forth in
Exhibit 2, hereto) intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A,
Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the case may
be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of

Holders of the Notes issued under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the

the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on

of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and its consequences. Any such
consent or waiver shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued

following matters: (i) liens; (ii) merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets; and

period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act) after the end of each
fiscal year, the Company must report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
13. Successor Persons.
When a successor Person or other entity assumes all the obligations of its predecessor
under the Notes and the Indenture, the predecessor Person shall be released from those
obligations, subject to certain exceptions and conditions.
14. Remedies for Events of Default.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, either the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
may declare the principal of all the Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to be
due and payable immediately. At any time after the Notes have been accelerated, but before a
judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may, under certain circumstances provided in
the Indenture, rescind and annul such acceleration.
15. Trustee Dealings with Company.
The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of

thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of

Notes at the time outstanding affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on
behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions
of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and its consequences. Any such
consent or waiver shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Notes issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not

period then in effect under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act) after the end of each
fiscal year, the Company must report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
13. Successor Persons.
When a successor Person or other entity assumes all the obligations of its predecessor
under the Notes and the Indenture, the predecessor Person shall be released from those
obligations, subject to certain exceptions and conditions.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, either the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes
may declare the principal of all the Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to be
due and payable immediately. At any time after the Notes have been accelerated, but before a
judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may, under certain circumstances provided in
the Indenture, rescind and annul such acceleration.
15. Trustee Dealings with Company.
The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Notes and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with
the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee; provided, however, that, if it acquires
any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for
permission to continue or resign.
