The notice will, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Definitive Securities electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or Holders of Global Securities must transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the Applicable Procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(d) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of this Section 1.6.3, the Company will comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 1.6.3 by virtue of any such conflict.

(a) default in the payment of any interest, including any Additional Interest, on the Notes when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of that default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent prior to the expiration of such 30-day period);

(b) default in the payment of principal of the Notes when due and payable;

(c) default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a Series of debt securities other than the Notes), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after the Company receives, by registered or certified mail, written notice from the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receive, by registered or certified mail, written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes as provided in this Indenture;

(d) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) commences a voluntary case;

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(v) generally is unable to pay its debts as the same become due; or

(e) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company,

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

No Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 1.7.1(d) or (e)) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other Series of debt securities.

1.7.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Recession and Annulment.

This Section 1.7.2 shall replace Section 6.2 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 1.7.1(d) or 1.7.1(e)), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon such declaration such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 1.7.1(d) or 1.7.1(e) shall occur, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of outstanding Notes.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided in this Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such a declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

1.7.3. Limitation on Suits.

This Section 1.7.3 shall replace Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture with respect to the Notes only.

No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes;

(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under the Indenture;

(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request;

(iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity or security has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all Holders.
