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. Any notice mailed in the manner prescribed by this Indenture shall be deemed to have been given whether or not such Holder receives said notice. 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.

Section 1.07. Immunity of Incorporator, Stockholders, Officers and Directors.

Section 1.16. Legal Holidays.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of a Security of any series is not a Business Day at the relevant Place of Payment with respect to Securities of such series, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities, payment of interest, if any, or principal and premium, if any, with respect to such Security need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

Section 3.03. Authentication and Dating.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, said Securities pursuant to a Company Order. In authenticating (or causing authentication of) such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be provided with, prior to the authentication of such Securities, and (subject to Sections 8.01 and 8.03 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(a) a Board Resolution relating thereto and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant to such resolution, in each case certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

(b) an executed supplemental indenture, if any, relating thereto;

(c) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the form and terms of the Securities of such series as established as contemplated by Sections 2.01 and 3.01 hereof (to the extent not set forth in the documents delivered pursuant to Subsection 3.03(a) or 3.03(b)) and stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of such Securities have been complied with, that no Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any Series has occurred and is continuing and that the issuance of such Securities is not and will not result in (i) an Event of Default or an event or condition which, upon the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default or (ii) a default under the provisions of any other instrument or agreement by which the Company is bound; and

(d) an Opinion of Counsel stating

(i) that the form and terms of such Securities have been established as contemplated by Sections 2.01 and 3.01 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

(ii) that such Securities, when executed and delivered by the Company, and authenticated and delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, to general principles of equity and to such other qualifications as

-16-

such counsel shall conclude do not materially adversely affect the rights of Holders of such Securities.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Securities under this Section 3.03 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would otherwise adversely affect its rights, duties, obligations or immunities hereunder.

Unless otherwise provided in the form of Securities of any particular series, each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 3.04. Execution of Securities.

The Securities shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer, its Senior Executive, its Chief Financial Officer, its President or any one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal (which may be printed, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise) and attested to by its Secretary or any one of its Assistant Secretaries, whose signatures may be manual or facsimile. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by manual signature, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by or on behalf of the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

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

Section 3.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Securities.

Securities of any series (except for Global Securities, which may only be exchanged in limited circumstances described below) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations. Unless otherwise established as contemplated by Section 3.01, Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at any of the offices or agencies of the Company maintained as provided in Section 12.02 hereof for such purpose, and the Company shall execute and register, or cause to be registered, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, or cause to be authenticated and

-17-

delivered, in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Holder making such exchange shall be entitled to receive.

Unless otherwise established as contemplated by Section 3.01, the Company shall keep at the office or agency in the same city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located, a register for the Securities of each series issued hereunder (the register maintained at such office or agency and at any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein collectively referred to as the “Securities Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities of such series and registration of transfer of such Securities as provided in this Article. Such Securities Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Securities Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and registering transfers of Securities as herein provided. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at any of the offices or agencies of the Company maintained as provided in Section 12.02 hereof for such purpose, the Company shall execute and register, or cause to be registered, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series in authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount.

Every Security issued upon registration of transfer or exchange of Securities pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Security or Securities surrendered upon registration of such transfer or exchange.

All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Securities Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by, a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Securities 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 of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.07, 4.07 or 11.07 hereof not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed.

Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a

-18-

single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, no Global Security shall be registered for transfer or exchange, or authenticated or delivered, pursuant to this Section 3.05 or Sections 3.06, 3.07, 4.07 or 11.07 in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee until (i) the Depositary with respect to a Global Security notifies the Company in writing that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation if required thereunder, and the Company notifies the Trustee that it is unable to locate a qualified successor Depositary, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so transferable and exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series. Upon the occurrence in respect of any Global Security of any series of any one or more of the conditions specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence or such other conditions as may be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such series, such Global Security may be registered for transfer or exchange for Securities registered in the names of, or authenticated and delivered to, such Persons as the Depositary with respect to such series shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee, upon receipt of such instruction, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, any Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer or, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section 3.05, Section 3.06, 3.07, 4.07 or 11.07 or otherwise, shall also be a Global Security. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary or to another Depositary or a nominee thereof or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or to another Depositary or a nominee thereof.

Upon such terms established as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of any series, the Depositary for the Securities of such series may surrender a Global Security for such series in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series of like tenor and terms and in definitive form. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (i) to the Depositary or to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series, of like tenor and terms in definitive form and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security, and (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in a principal amount equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered pursuant to clause (i).

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Definitive Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall either be in global form, established as contemplated by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, or shall be registered in such names and in such

-19-

authorized denominations and delivered to the Depositary or to such Persons at such addresses as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing.

Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.

In case any temporary or definitive Security of any series shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, and in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company in the case of a mutilated Security shall, and in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Security may in its discretion, execute, and upon a Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, a new Security of the same series bearing a number, letter or other distinguishing symbol 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, or if any such Security shall have become due and payable or shall be about to become due and payable, instead of issuing a substituted Security, the Company may pay or authorize the payment of the same without surrender thereof (except in the case of a mutilated Security). In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

Upon the issuance of any substituted Security under this Section 3.06, 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 and any Authenticating Agent) connected therewith.

Every substituted Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.06 by virtue of the fact that any Security of such series is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06 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 with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 3.07. Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, temporary Securities of such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced). Temporary Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as

-20-

may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Every such temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and shall be authenticated by or on behalf of Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued. Without unreasonable delay the Company will execute and deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at any of the offices or agencies of the Company maintained as provided in Section 12.02 hereof for such purpose, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor except that in case of any such exchange involving any registration of transfer the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, Global Securities may remain in temporary form and, unless otherwise established as contemplated by Section 3.01, shall not be exchangeable for definitive Global Securities.

Section 3.08. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

The Holder at the close of business on any record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Securities upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the record date and prior to such Interest Payment Date. Except as otherwise established as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of a particular series, the term “record date” as used in this Section 3.08 with respect to any Interest Payment Date, shall mean the last day of the calendar month preceding such Interest Payment Date if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of the calendar month, and shall mean the fifteenth day of the calendar month preceding such Interest Payment Date if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of the calendar month, whether or not such day shall be a Business Day.

If and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such record date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Holders entitled thereto at the close of business on a subsequent record date established in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each applicable Security 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 Holders entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause (a)

-21-

provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be 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 Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the record date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto at his address as it appears on the Securities Register, not less than 10 days prior to such record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Holders of applicable Securities at the close of business on such record date (notwithstanding the cancellation of such Securities upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to such record date and prior to such payment) and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of such series 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 (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

Section 3.09. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any and (subject to Section 3.08 hereof) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Securities Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests and they shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting on any such information provided by the Depositary.

Section 3.10. Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer or for credit against any sinking fund shall, if surrendered to the Company or any Paying Agent or any Securities Registrar, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly

-22-

cancelled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities and deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company upon its request therefor unless, by a Company Order, the Company directs that such cancelled Securities be returned to it. If the Company shall 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 surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 3.11. Computation of Interest.

Except as otherwise established as contemplated by Section 3.01 hereof for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

ARTICLE FOUR

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 4.01. Applicability of Article.

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to all Securities which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity except as otherwise established as contemplated by Section 3.01 hereof for Securities of any series.

Section 4.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of a series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth such Redemption Date and the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and stating that no default in payment of interest or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of such series.

Section 4.03. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (which is in compliance with the requirements of any national securities exchange on which such Securities are listed) and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Securities of a denomination greater than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series.

-23-

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security 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 Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed, whether or not such provisions so provide.

Section 4.04. Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Securities Register. 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.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date,

(b) the Redemption Price, and accrued interest, if any,

(c) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Securities of such series to be redeemed,

(d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, will become due and payable upon each such Security, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date,

(e) the place where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and accrued interest, if any,

(f) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if that be the case, and

(g) the applicable CUSIP number, if any.

Notice of redemption of the Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company; provided that in the latter case the Company will give the Trustee at least 15 days prior notice of such request.

Section 4.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 12.03 hereof) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

-24-

Section 4.06. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price thereof together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to the Redemption Date, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and such accrued interest, if any) such Securities or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Securities for redemption in accordance with said notice such Securities or specified portions thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest to the Redemption Date. Installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant record dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.08 hereof.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof on such Redemption Date, the principal and premium, if any, shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security.

Section 4.07. Securities Redeemed in Part.

Security of any series which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Place of Payment (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered.

ARTICLE FIVE

SINKING FUNDS

Section 5.01. Applicability of Article.

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities except as otherwise established as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment established as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any permitted payment in excess of such minimum amount established as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.”

-25-

Section 5.02. Satisfaction of Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, or (b) receive credit for the principal amount of Securities of that series which 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; 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 mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 5.03. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for the Securities of any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company specifying the amount of such next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of such series pursuant to Section 5.02 (which Securities will accompany such certificate) and whether the Company intends to make any permitted optional sinking fund payment in connection therewith. Such certificate shall also state that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to Securities of such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such certificate when due (or to deliver the Securities specified in this Section 5.03) the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for Securities of that series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Securities as provided in Section 5.02 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment, in connection therewith.

Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) with respect to the Securities of any particular series made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments with respect to Securities of such series made in cash which shall equal or exceed $100,000 or the equivalent thereof in the Foreign Currency in which such series is denominated (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request) shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption of such Securities at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for operation of the sinking fund together with accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of such Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for Securities of such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.03. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee on the last sinking fund

-26-

payment date with respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity.

The Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in the first paragraph of Section 4.03 hereof and the Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 4.04 hereof. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 4.06 and 4.07 hereof.

On or before any sinking fund payment date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money sufficient to pay any interest accrued to the Redemption Date for Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 5.03.

The Trustee shall not redeem any Securities of any series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund therefor during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on Securities of such series or of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to Securities of such series, except that if the notice of redemption of any Securities of such series shall theretofore have been mailed in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for Securities of such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be held as security for the payment of such Securities; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default or default shall have been cured or waived as, provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for such Securities on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.03.

ARTICLE SIX

Section 6.04. Paying Agent to Repay Moneys Held.

Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the appropriate Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decrees, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities 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 such Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as such Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 7.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series 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 or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 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 Securities of such series or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors,

(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be due and payable with respect to such series pursuant to a declaration in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof), premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series 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 of the Securities of such series allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

-34-

and in the event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to 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 8.07 hereof.

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, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series 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 7.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities.

Section 7.06. Application of Money Collected.

Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 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, if any, upon presentation of the several Securities with respect to which such moneys were collected, 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 8.07 hereof.

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, 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 Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively.

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series 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 of Securities of such series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such 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 of the Securities of such series.

Section 7.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Holder of a Security of any series shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.08) interest, if any, on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 7.09. 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 the Company, the Trustee and such Holder shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of such Trustee and such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

-36-

Section 7.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities of any series 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 7.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of the Holders of the Securities of any series 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 or by law to the Trustee or to such Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holders, as the case may be.

Section 7.12. Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, provided that

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, unduly prejudice the rights of the Holders or involve the Trustee in personal liability (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any determination with respect to such conflict, prejudice or liability), and

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Eleven hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected.

-37-

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 7.14. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees 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 7.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by such Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

-42-

New York, or in such other city as shall be established as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of any series that is willing to act upon reasonable and customary terms, having a corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan or such other city.

A., the Company and such Trustee shall, prior to the issuance of such Securities, execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto, which shall provide for the appointment of such Trustee as Trustee for the Securities of such series and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee. If at any time the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 8.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(b) The Trustee, or any Trustee or Trustees hereafter appointed for the Securities of any series, may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more or all such series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee for the Securities of any series shall not have been delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series within thirty 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 for the Securities of such series.

(c) The Trustee for the Securities of any series may be removed at any time with respect to one or more or all such series by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such one or more series (each voting as a class) delivered to such Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee for the Securities of any series shall not have been delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series within thirty days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee to be removed may petition at the expense of the Company any court of the Competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Securities of such series.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of such series after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of

-43-

Securities of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months, or

(ii) such Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 8.09 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder of Securities, or

(iii) such Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to the Securities of such series or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of such Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of such Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such ease, (1) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (2) subject to Section 7.14 hereof, any Holder of a Security of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of such Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Securities of such series.

(e) If the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for the Securities of any series for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee for the Securities of such series. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee for the Securities of such series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series 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 for the Securities of such series and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee for the Securities of such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or such Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series 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 for the Securities of such series.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee for the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee for the Securities of such series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of the Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Securities Register. Each notice shall include the name of such successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

Section 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment,

-44-

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 by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 8.07 hereof. 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.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee for the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and each successor Trustee for the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee for the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

No successor Trustee for the Securities of any series shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and eligible under Section 8.09.

Section 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any corporation into which the Trustee for the Securities of any series 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 Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee for such series hereunder, provided such corporation shall be, with respect to such series, otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities of any series shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee for such series or an Authenticating Agent for such series, then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee or Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities.

Reference is made to Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, for purposes of which:

Section 8.14. Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent for the Securities of each series which shall be acceptable to the Company, to act on behalf of such Trustee and subject to its direction in connection with the authentication of the Securities of such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.14 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.

Securities of any series authenticated by the Authenticating Agent for the Securities of such series shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee for the Securities of such series. Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities of any series by the Trustee or such Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by the Authenticating Agent for the Securities of such series and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by such Authenticating Agent.

Any corporation into which any 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 any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any

-46-

corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent with respect to the Securities of all series for which it served as Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent for the Securities of any series by giving written notice of termination 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 any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.14, with respect to the Securities of one or more or all series, the Trustee promptly shall appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company, and upon doing so shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of the Securities of such series as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Securities Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder with like effect as if originally appointed as Authenticating Agent hereunder. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.14.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments subject to the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof.

Delivery of such information, documents or reports to the Trustee pursuant to such provisions is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of the covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on the Officers’ Certificate).

Without limitation of the rights of the Holders and the Company with respect to waivers and amendments set forth in Sections 7.13 and 11.02, the Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with a covenant or provision hereof which non-compliance could constitute a default hereunder (other than (i) a covenant or provision with respect to the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of any series, or in payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to the Securities of such series or (ii) a covenant or provision which under Article Eleven hereof cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected), if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of any series affected by the omission shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or provision, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or provision except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or provision shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
