To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Security or Securities upon receipt of an Authentication Order.  The Trustee shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same indebtedness as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.  Prior to such due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Security, the Trustee, the Company, any applicable paying agent and the applicable Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Securities and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, the Company, such paying agent or such Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Except as provided in Sections 2.06 and 2.07, a Global Security may not be exchanged for another Security other than as provided in this Section 2.05(c); however, beneficial interests in a Global Security may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.05(d).  The provisions of this Section 2.05(c) are subject to Section 2.11.

(B)  if such Restricted Definitive Security is being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 under the Securities Act, a completed certificate to that effect set forth in Exhibit A;

the Trustee shall cancel the Restricted Definitive Security of such series, increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of, in the case of clause (A) above, the appropriate Restricted Global Security of such series and, in the case of clause (B) above, the 144A Global Security of such series or the Regulation S Global Security of such series as applicable.

(2)                                  Restricted Definitive Securities to Beneficial Interests in Unrestricted Global Securities .  A Holder of a Restricted Definitive Security of a series may exchange such Security for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of such series or transfer such Restricted Definitive Security of such series to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of such series only if the Security Registrar receives a completed certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, and an opinion of counsel in form, and from legal counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Security Registrar and the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private

25

Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.  Upon receipt of evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions of any of the subparagraphs in this Section 2.05(f)(2), the Trustee shall cancel the Restricted Definitive Securities of such series so transferred or exchanged and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Security of such series.

(3)                                  Unrestricted Definitive Securities to Beneficial Interests in Unrestricted Global Securities .  A Holder of an Unrestricted Definitive Security of a series may exchange such Security for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of such series or transfer such Definitive Securities of such series to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Security of such series at any time.  Upon receipt of a written request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Unrestricted Definitive Security and increase or cause or be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Unrestricted Global Securities of such series.

If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Security of a series to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to subparagraphs (2) or (3) of this Section 2.05(f) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Security of such series has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.04, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Securities of such series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Securities of such series so transferred.

(g)                                   Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Securities for Definitive Securities .  Upon written request by a Holder of Definitive Securities of a series and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.05(g), the Trustee shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Securities of such series pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.05(a).  In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 2.05(a), the requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents, and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 2.05(g).

(1)                                  Restricted Definitive Securities to Restricted Definitive Securities .  Any Restricted Definitive Security of a series may be transferred to and registered in the name of Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted Definitive Security of such series if the Trustee receives a completed certificate in the form of Exhibit A.

(2)                                  Restricted Definitive Securities to Unrestricted Definitive Securities .  Any Restricted Definitive Security of a series may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for an Unrestricted Definitive Security of such series or transferred to a Person or Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Security of such series if the Security Registrar receives a completed certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable and an opinion of counsel in form, and from legal counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

(3)                                  Unrestricted Definitive Securities to Unrestricted Definitive Securities .  A Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Securities of a series may transfer such Securities to a Person

26

who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Security of such series in accordance with Section 2.05(a).  Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Security Registrar shall register the Unrestricted Definitive Securities of such series pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

(h)                                  Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Securities .  At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Security of a series have been exchanged for Definitive Securities of such series or a particular Global Security of a series has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security of such series shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.08.  At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security of such series is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security of such series or for Definitive Securities of such series, the principal amount of Securities of such series represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement may be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security of such series, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement may be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(i)                                      No Exchange or Transfer .  The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption, or (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange a Security of any series between the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(5) and the next Interest Payment Date.

Section 2.06                             Temporary Securities .

Pending the preparation of permanent Securities of any series, the Company may execute temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.  Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the permanent Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company.  Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company, and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the permanent Securities of such series.  Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute, and will furnish permanent Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge to the Holders, at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 4.02 for the purpose of exchanges of Securities of such series, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of permanent Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that permanent Securities need not be executed and furnished until further

27

notice from the Company.  Until so exchanged, temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be valid obligations under this Indenture.

Section 2.07                             Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities .

In case any temporary or permanent Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company, subject to the next sentence, shall execute a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen, and upon the Company’s written request the Trustee, subject to the next sentence, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Security.  In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof.  The Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same.  Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses, including the fees and expenses of the Trustee, connected therewith.  In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company, instead of issuing a substitute Security, may pay or authorize the payment of the same, without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security, if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone.  All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude, to the extent lawful, any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.08                             Cancellation .

All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture.  On written request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company evidence of the cancellation of Securities by the Trustee.  If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

28

Section 2.09                             Third Party Beneficiaries .

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the Holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision contained herein.

Section 2.10                             Authenticating Agent .

The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities.  Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company.  Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent.  An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Security Registrar, paying agent or transfer agent for service of notices and demands.

Section 2.11                             Global Securities .

(a)                                  General .  If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security, then the Company shall execute one or more Global Securities that (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and (iii) shall be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary or otherwise delivered pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions, and the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.04 shall authenticate such Global Security or Global Securities.  So long as the Depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a Global Security, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and Holder of the Securities represented by that Global Security for all purposes of such Securities.  Accordingly, each Person owning a beneficial interest in any such Security must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if that Person is not a Participant in such Depositary, on the procedures of the Participant through which that Person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder of such Securities.

(b)                                  Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable .  The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and the “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream, respectively, in effect at the relevant time shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Securities of such series that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.12                             CUSIP Numbers .

The Company in issuing the Securities of a series may use CUSIP, ISIN and/or other identifying number, as applicable, if then generally in use, and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN and/or other identifying number, as applicable, in notices of redemption as a convenience to Securityholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is

29

made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN and/or other identifying number, as applicable.

Section 2.13                             Securities Denominated in Foreign Currencies .

Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, Securities of such series denominated in any Foreign Currency will be made in such Foreign Currency.

In the event any Foreign Currency or Currencies in which any payment with respect to any series of Securities may be made ceases to be a freely convertible Currency on United States of America Currency markets, for any date thereafter on which payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of a series is due, the Company shall select the Currency of payment for use on such date, all as provided in the Securities of such series, in a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto.  In such event, the Company shall notify the Trustee of the Currency which it has selected to constitute the funds necessary to meet the Company’s obligations on such payment date and of the amount of such Currency to be paid.  Such amount shall be determined as provided in the Securities of such series, in a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto.  The payment with respect to such payment date shall be deposited with the Trustee by the Company solely in the Currency so selected.

Section 2.14                             Wire Transfers .

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Indenture, the Company may make any payment required to be deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities by any method of wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Trustee or such paying agent such that funds are available on or before the date such payment is to be made to the Holders of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof.  If the Company is acting as its own paying agent with respect to Securities of any series that are represented by one or more Global Securities, the Company may make any such payment by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the Depositary for such Securities.

Section 2.15                             Designated Currency .

The Company may provide pursuant to Section 2.01 for Securities of any series that:

(a)                                  the obligation, if any, of the Company to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of any series in a Foreign Currency or Dollars (the “ Designated Currency ”) as may be specified pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(12) is of the essence and agree that, to the fullest extent possible under applicable law, judgments in respect of Securities of such series shall be given in the Designated Currency;

(b)                                  the obligation of the Company to make payments in the Designated Currency of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities shall be discharged, notwithstanding

30

any payment in any other Currency (whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise), only to the extent of the amount in the Designated Currency that the Securityholder receiving such payment, in accordance with normal banking procedures, may purchase with the amount paid in such other Currency after any premium and cost of exchange on the business day in the country of issue of the Designated Currency or in the international banking community immediately following the day on which such Securityholder receives such payment ;

(c)                                   if the amount in the Designated Currency that may be so purchased for any reason falls short of the amount originally due, the Company shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to compensate for such shortfall; and

(d)                                  any obligation of the Company not discharged by such payment shall be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect.

Section 2.16                             [Reserved] .

ARTICLE III.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS

Section 3.01                             Redemption .

The Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 or 14.01.

Section 3.02                             Notice of Redemption .

(a)                                  If the Company desires to exercise its right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, or shall instruct the Trustee in writing to, give notice of such redemption to Holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing to such Holders, first class postage prepaid, at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, or by delivering electronically if the Securities of such series are held by any Depositary, a notice of such redemption at least 30 days but not more than 90 days before the date fixed for such redemption, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed.  Any notice that is mailed or delivered electronically in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the notice.  In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the Holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series.  In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that:

(i) payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, or, if none, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities ;

(ii) interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice ;

(iii) interest on such Securities or portions of Securities will cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest (if any) with respect to any such Securities or portions thereof ; and

(iv) the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.

If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the Holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities

32

to be so redeemed.  In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

(b)                                  If all or less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ written notice, unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee, in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed.  If less than all the Securities of such series are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Outstanding Securities of such series to be redeemed in accordance with a method that complies with the requirements, if any, of any stock exchange on which such Securities are listed, and the Applicable Procedures, if the Securities of such series are held by any Depositary; provided, however, that with respect to any Securities not listed on any stock exchange and/or held by a Depositary, the Trustee will select such Securities by lot or by such other method that the Trustee considers fair and appropriate.  The Trustee promptly shall notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities of such series to be redeemed, in whole or in part.

The Company, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate, may instruct the Trustee or any applicable paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section 3.02, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name, as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable.  In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail or electronically that may be required under the provisions of this Section 3.02.

Section 3.03                             Payment Upon Redemption .

(a)                                  If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, in each case as established pursuant to Section 2.01 or 14.01.  Interest on such Securities or portions of Securities will cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest (if any) with respect to any such Security or portion thereof.  On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, such Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment date).

(b)                                  Upon presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute a new Security of the same series and tenor of authorized denominations

33

in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate, and the office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, such new Security; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute a new Global Security of like tenor in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered, and, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate requesting authentication and delivery, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary for such Global Security, without service charge, such new Global Security.

Section 3.04                             Sinking Fund .

The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05.  Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

Section 3.05                             Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities .

The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series other than any Securities previously called for redemption and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited.  Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 3.06                             Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund .

Not less than 30 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are denominated (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.01), the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit.  Together with such Officer’s Certificate, the Company will deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered.  Not less than 30 days before each

34

such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02.  Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 3.03.

ARTICLE IV.

CERTAIN COVENANTS

The following covenants shall apply to the Securities, except with respect to any series of Securities for which the supplemental indenture or resolution of the Board of Directors under which such series of Securities is issued or the form of Security for such series expressly provides that any such covenant shall not apply to such series of Securities:

Section 4.01                             Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest .

The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of a series at the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such Securities.

Section 4.02                             Maintenance of Office or Agency .

So long as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain for such series an office or agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be given or served.  Such designation will continue with respect to each office or agency until the Company, by written notice signed by any Officer and delivered to the Trustee, shall designate some other office or agency for such purposes or any of them.  If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.  Unless otherwise specified in accordance with Section 2.01 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company initially designates the office of U.S. Bank National Association, acting as the Company’s agent, located at 1555 North RiverCenter Drive, Suite 203, Milwaukee, WI 53212, as the office to be maintained by it for each such purpose.

Section 4.03                             Paying Agents, Transfer Agent and Security Registrar .

(a)                                  The Company will maintain one or more paying agents for the Securities.

(b)                                  In addition the Company will maintain a transfer agent and a registrar (the “ Security Registrar ”) for the Securities.  The Security Registrar will maintain the Security Register, and together with the transfer agent, will make payments on and facilitate transfers of the Securities on behalf of the Company.

35

(c)                                   The Company may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent.  Such agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent.  The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent.  The Company may remove any paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent, as applicable, upon written notice to such paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent, as applicable, and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until, if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee.

(d)                                  The Company may change or appoint any paying agent, Security Registrar or transfer agent with respect to the Securities of a series without prior notice to the Holders of the Securities of such series.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent, transfer agent or Security Registrar in respect of any Securities.

(e)                                   The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as paying agent with respect to each series of Securities, except as otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to Section 2.01.  The Trustee hereby accepts each such initial appointment and the Company confirms that such initial appointments are acceptable to it.  The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as Security Registrar and transfer agent with respect to each series of Securities, except as otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to Section 2.01.  The obligations of the paying agent, transfer agent and Security Registrar shall be several and not joint.

(f)                                    The Company shall require each paying agent (other than the Company) to agree in writing that the paying agent will hold for the benefit of Holders of Securities of the applicable series or the Trustee all money held by the paying agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, interest on, or Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment.  Money held by the paying agent need not be segregated, except as required by law, and in no event shall the paying agent be liable for interest on any money received by it hereunder.  If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as paying agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as paying agent.

(g)                                   The Company will make payments of any amounts owing in respect of any Global Securities (including principal, premium, if any, interest and any Additional Amounts) to the applicable paying agent, and such paying agent will, in turn, make such payments to the applicable Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be (subject to such paying agent having received cleared funds sufficient to make such payments), as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Securities represented by a Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture.  The applicable Depositary will distribute such payments to Participants in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.  Payments on all Securities other than Global Securities will be made by the Company to the applicable paying agent and such paying agent will make payment by check to the address provided by the Holder of such Securities (or by wire transfer to those Holders that have provided wire instructions to the Company or the applicable paying agent).

Section 4.08                             Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event .

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to any applicable series of Securities, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities of such series by giving irrevocable notice on or prior to the 30th day after the Change of Control Triggering Event in accordance with this Indenture, each Holder of Securities of such series will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities of such series pursuant to the offer described below (the “ Change of Control Offer ”), at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “ Change of Control Payment ”). If the Change of Control Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of the Change of Control Payment will be made on the next Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amounts so payable for the period from and after such date to the next Business Day.

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to send, by first class mail, or deliver electronically if the applicable Securities are held by any Depositary, a notice to each Holder of Securities of the applicable series, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.  Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered electronically (or, in the case of a notice mailed or delivered electronically prior to the date of consummation of a Change of Control, no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date of the Change of Control Triggering Event), other than as may be required by law (the “ Change of Control Payment Date ”).  The notice, if mailed or delivered electronically prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept or cause a third party to accept for payment all Securities of the applicable series properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit or cause a third party to deposit with the applicable paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities of the applicable series properly tendered; and

40

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of the applicable series properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities of each applicable series being repurchased.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Securities of the applicable series if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all the Securities of the applicable series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.  In addition, the Company will not repurchase any Securities of the applicable series if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default, other than a Default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment on the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Company must comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities of the applicable series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event.  To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of the applicable series, the Company will be required to comply with those securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached the Company’s obligations under this Section 4.08 with respect to the Securities of such series by virtue of any such conflict.

(b)                                  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

(a)                                  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding (as determined in accordance with Section 8.04) of the series in Default will have the right to direct the time, method and place for conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any power or trust conferred on the Trustee, in each case with respect to such series.  Any direction by such Holders will be in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture.  Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith, by a Trust Officer or Trust Officers of the Trustee, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not be lawfully taken, would involve the Trustee in personal liability, would be materially or unjustly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Securities of such series not joining in such direction or would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Securities of all series not joining in the giving of such direction.  The Trustee will be under no obligation to act in accordance with any such direction unless the applicable Holders offer the Trustee reasonable security and indemnity, satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion, against costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred thereby.

(b)                                  In the case of an Event of Default with respect to one or more series of Securities, at any time before the principal of the Securities of the applicable series shall have been declared due and payable, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding (determined in accordance with Section 8.04) Securities of all series affected by such waiver (voting as one class), on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of all such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may waive any existing Default and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including sinking fund payments on, any of the Securities of any such series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities (provided, however, that pursuant to Section 6.06(c), only the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of an applicable series may rescind an acceleration with respect to such series and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration).  Upon any such waiver, the Default covered thereby and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of each such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c)                                   At any time after the principal of the Securities of a particular series shall have been declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the amount due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:  (i) the Company has or has caused to be paid or deposited with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration, with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of

48

such payment or deposit, and (ii) any and all Events of Default under this Indenture with respect to such series, except non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of that series as a result of such declaration, shall have been remedied or waived.  No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

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

Section 6.07                             Undertaking to Pay Costs .

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Securities by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant ; but the provisions of this Section 6.07 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 6.08                             Waiver Of Usury, Stay Or Extension Laws .

The Company covenants, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture ; and the Company, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series or all affected series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company, at its option, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate, may fix in advance a record date for such series or all affected series for the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.  If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series or all affected series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series or all affected series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

At any time prior to the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01                      Applicability of Article .

If the Securities of a series are denominated and payable only in Dollars (except as provided pursuant to Section 2.01), then the provisions of this Article XI relating to defeasance of Securities shall be applicable except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01 for Securities of such series.  Defeasance provisions, if any, for Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency may be specified pursuant to Section 2.01.

Section 11.02                      Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture .

This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to a series of Securities if, at any time:

(a)                                  the Company has delivered or has caused to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated, other than any Securities that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07, and Securities for whose payment funds or Governmental Obligations have theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereupon repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 11.06; or

With respect to any redemption of any Securities that requires the payment of any premium, the amount deposited pursuant to the foregoing paragraph shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is so deposited with the Trustee or paying agent, as applicable, equal to such premium on such Securities calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit on the redemption date only required to be deposited with the Trustee or paying agent, as applicable, on or prior to the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the above, the Company may not be discharged from its obligations pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10, which will survive until the date of maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be, for the applicable series of Securities.  The Company also may not be discharged from its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.06

64

and 11.06 and Article XIV, which will survive the satisfaction and discharge of the applicable series of Securities.

T he Trustee, on demand of the Company and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to such series.

Section 11.03                      Defeasance and Discharge of Obligations; Covenant Defeasance .

(a)                                  The Company’s obligations with respect to the Securities of any series will be discharged upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 11.03(c); provided that the Company may not be discharged from its obligations pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.07, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10, which will survive until such date of maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be, for the applicable series of Securities.  The Company also may not be discharged from its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.06 and 11.06 and Article XIV, which will survive the satisfaction and discharge of the applicable series of Securities.

(c)                                   The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 11.03 to the Outstanding Securities of the applicable series:

65

a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other amounts payable by it hereunder (provided that, with respect to any redemption of any Securities that requires the payment of any premium, the amount deposited pursuant to this clause (1) shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is so deposited with the Trustee or paying agent, as applicable, equal to such premium on such Securities calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit on the redemption date only required to be deposited with the Trustee or paying agent, as applicable, on or prior to the redemption date), provided that (A) the trustee of the irrevocable trust shall have been irrevocably instructed to pay such funds or the proceeds of such Governmental Obligations to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such funds or the proceeds of such Governmental Obligations to the payment of such principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Securities of such series ;

(2)                                  the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel to the same effect;

(3)                                  no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become such an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on the date of such deposit;

(4)                                  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which, in the case of a defeasance, must be based on a change in law) or a ruling received from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the beneficial owners of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of either option under this Section 11.03 and will be subject to United States Federal income tax in the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such election had not been exercised; and

(5)                                  notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 11.03, such covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company pursuant to Section 2.01.

After such irrevocable deposit made pursuant to this Section 11.03 and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 11.03.

Section 11.04                      Deposited Funds to be Held in Trust .

All funds or Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent pursuant to Sections 11.02 or 11.03 shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due, either directly or through any paying agent, including the Company, acting as its own paying agent, to the Holders of the particular series of Securities for the payment or redemption of which such funds or Governmental Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee or such paying agent.

In connection with the provisions of Section 11.02 or 11.03, all funds or Governmental Obligations then held by any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such funds or Governmental Obligations.

Section 11.06                      Repayment to the Company .

Any funds or Governmental Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holders of such Securities for at least one year after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company, or if then held by the Company shall be discharged from such trust ; and thereafter, the paying agent and the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such funds or Governmental Obligations, and the Holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof.  Anything in this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to Section 7.06, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company, from time to time upon written request by the Company, which shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, any funds or Governmental Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Sections 11.02 or 11.03 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect a satisfaction and discharge, defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, in accordance with this Article XI.

Section 11.07                      Reinstatement .

If the Trustee or paying agent is unable to apply any funds or Governmental Obligations in accordance with Section 11.02 or 11.03 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, any indentures supplemental to this Indenture with respect to the applicable series of Securities and the Securities of such series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.02 or 11.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or paying agent is permitted to apply all such funds or Governmental Obligations in accordance with Section 11.02 or 11.03, as the case may be ; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities of such series to receive such payment from the funds or Governmental Obligations held by the Trustee or paying agent.

ARTICLE XIV.

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS; CERTAIN TAX PROVISIONS

Section 14.01                      Redemption Upon Changes in Withholding Taxes .

The Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Securities of any series under the following conditions:

(i) if there is an amendment to, or change in, the laws or regulations of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws, including any action taken by, or a change in published administrative practice of, a taxing authority or a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction, regardless of whether such action, change or holding is with respect to the Company, which amendment or change is announced on or after the date of issuance of the Securities of the applicable series (or, in the case of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction that becomes a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction after such date of issuance, after such later date);

(ii) as a result of such amendment or change, the Company becomes, or there is a material probability that the Company will become, obligated to pay Additional Amounts on the next payment date with respect to the Securities of such series;

(iii) the Company delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of independent tax counsel to the Company of recognized standing to the effect that the Company has, or there is a material probability that it will become obligated, to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, official interpretation or application described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii); and

(iv) following the delivery of the opinion described in the foregoing clause (iii), the Company provides notice of redemption not less than 30 days, but not more than 90 days, prior to the redemption date.  The notice of redemption cannot be given more than 90 days before the earliest date on which the Company would be otherwise required to pay Additional Amounts, and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts must still be in effect when the notice is given.

Upon the occurrence of each of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, the Company may redeem the Securities of such series at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

73

The provisions of this Section 14.01 shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Successor Person to the Company.

Section 14.02                      Payment of Additional Amounts .

All payments in respect of the Securities will be made by the Company free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (“ Taxes ”), unless the withholding or deduction of such Taxes is required by law.

In the event that the Company is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of Ireland or any other jurisdiction (other than the United States of America) in which the Company is organized, resident or doing business for tax purposes or from or through which payments by or on behalf of the Company are made, or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein (each, but not including the United States of America or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein, a “ Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction ”) from any payment made under or with respect to any Security, the Company will pay such additional amounts (“ Additional Amounts ”) so that the net amount received by each Holder of Securities (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted.

Additional Amounts will not be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder of Securities or a holder of beneficial interests in Global Securities where such Holder or holder of beneficial interests is subject to taxation on such payment by the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction for any reason other than such Person’s mere ownership of the Securities or beneficial interests or for or on account of:

(a)                                  any Taxes that are imposed or withheld solely because such Holder or holder of beneficial interests or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, or member of such Holder or holder if such Person is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or a Person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder:

(1)                                  is or was present or engaged in, or is or was treated as present or engaged in, a trade or business in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction  or has or had a permanent establishment in the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction;

(2)                                  has or had any present or former connection (other than the mere fact of ownership of such Securities) with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including being or having been a national citizen or resident thereof, being treated as being or having been a resident thereof or being or having been physically present therein;

(b)                                  any estate, inheritance, gift, transfer, excise, personal property or similar Taxes imposed with respect to the Securities;

(c)                                   any Taxes imposed solely as a result of the presentation of such Securities, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for,

74

whichever is later, except to the extent that the beneficiary or Holder thereof would have been entitled to the payment of Additional Amounts had such Securities been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period ;

(d)                                  any Taxes imposed or withheld solely as a result of the failure of such holder of beneficial interests or Holder or any other Person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes;

(e)                                   any Taxes that are payable by any method other than withholding or deduction by the Company or any paying agent from payments in respect of such Securities;

(f)                                    any Taxes required to be withheld by any paying agent from any payment in respect of any Securities if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other paying agent;

(g)                                   any withholding or deduction for Taxes which would not have been imposed if the relevant Securities had been presented to another paying agent in a Member State of the European Union;

(h)                                  any withholding or deduction required pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any amended or successor provisions), any regulations, rules, practices or agreements entered into pursuant thereto, official interpretations thereof or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto; or

(i)                                      any combination of Section 14.02(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h).

Additional Amounts also will not be payable to any Holder or the holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security that is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, or to such holder that is not the sole Holder or holder of such beneficial interests in such Security, as the case may be.  This exception, however, will apply only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment.

The Company also:  (i) will make such withholding or deduction of Taxes; (ii) will remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant tax authority in accordance with all applicable laws; (iii) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each relevant tax authority imposing such Taxes certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld; and (iv) upon request, will make available to the Holders of the Securities, within 90 days after the date the payment of any Taxes deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company (unless, notwithstanding the Company’s efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable).

75

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Securities of a series is due and payable, if the Company will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and such other information as is necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of such Securities on the payment date.

In addition, the Company will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and duties, including interest, penalties and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, payable in a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in respect of the creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement of the Securities.

The provisions of this Article XIV shall survive any termination or the discharge of this Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Successor Person to the Company.

Whenever in this Indenture or any Securities there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal, premium, if any, redemption price, repurchase price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent payable in the particular context.
