If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.02 that the Debt Securities are to be issued in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.03 and the Company order with respect to such Debt Securities, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Debt Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all of the Debt Securities issued and not yet canceled, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Debt Security or Debt Securities or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions (iv) may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company) and (v) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive registered form, this Debt Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.”

- 11 -

Each Depository must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depository hereunder, be a clearing agency registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) and any other applicable statute or regulation.

Section 2.04. Denomination and Numbering of Securities. The Debt Securities of each series shall be issuable as registered Debt Securities without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified in Section 2.01. Debt Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Company executing the same may determined with the approval of the Trustee.

The Person in whose name any Debt Security of a particular series is registered at the close of business on any record date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Debt Security upon any registration of transfer or exchange subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the payment of interest on such interest payment date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names Outstanding Debt Securities of such series are registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders of such Debt Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than five days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. The term “record date” as used in this Section 2.04 with respect to any regular interest payment date for the 2015 Notes and the 2019 Notes shall mean the close of business on June 1^st or December 1^st (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such interest payment date, and with respect to any regular interest payment date for the Floating Rate Notes shall mean the close of business on March 1^st, June 1^st, September 1^st or December 1^st (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such interest payment date, except that the regular record date for interest due on any Debt Security’s Stated Maturity or date of earlier redemption will be that particular date.

Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt 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 Debt Securities shall cease to be such officer before the Debt Securities shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debt Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Debt Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Debt Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of such Debt 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.

- 12 -

Section 2.06. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Debt Securities. Debt Securities of any series (other than a Global Debt Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of the same series of other authorized denominations.

Debt Securities to be exchanged pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be surrendered, at the option of the Holders thereof, either at the office or agency designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 or at any of such other offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, and the Company shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Debt Security or Debt Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. Each Person designated by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.02 as a Person authorized to register and register transfer of the Debt Securities is sometimes herein referred to as a “registrar.”

The Company shall keep, at one such office or agency for a series of Debt Securities, a register for such series of Debt Securities (herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security register” or the “registry books of the Company”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register Debt Securities and shall register the transfer of Debt Securities as provided in this Article Two. The Security register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Security register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any registrar other than the Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Debt Security of any series at any designated office or agency, the Company shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series for an equal aggregate principal amount. Registration or registration of transfer of any Debt Security by any registrar in the registry books of the Company maintained by such registrar, and delivery of such Debt Security, duly authenticated, shall be deemed to complete the registration or registration of transfer of such Debt Security.

No Person shall at any time be designated as or act as a registrar unless such Person is at such time empowered under applicable law to act as such and duly registered to act as such under and to the extent required by applicable law and regulations.

All Debt Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption, repayment or payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or exchange in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Debt 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 therewith.

- 13 -

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Debt Securities to be redeemed for a period of at least 30 days but not more than 60 days preceding the mailing (or delivery in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Securities selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Debt Securities being redeemed in part.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.06, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive registered form, a Global Debt Security representing all or a portion of the Debt Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository for such series to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository for such series or a nominee of such successor Depository.

If at any time the Depository for any Debt Securities of a series represented by one or more Global Debt Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Debt Securities or if at any time the Depository for such Debt Securities shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.03, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository eligible under Section 2.03 with respect to such Debt Securities. If a successor Depository eligible under Section 2.03 for such Debt Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 2.02 that such Debt Securities be represented by one or more Global Debt Securities shall no longer be effective and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Debt Securities of such series in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security or Debt Securities representing such Debt Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Debt Securities.

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion (but subject to the procedures of the Depository) determine that Debt Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Debt Securities. In such event the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities, will authenticate and deliver Debt Securities of the same series in definitive registered form, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Global Debt Security or Debt Securities in exchange for such Global Debt Security or Debt Securities.

Upon the exchange of a Global Debt Security for Debt Securities in definitive registered form, in authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Debt Security, such Global Debt Security shall be canceled by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. Debt Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange for a Global Debt Security pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Debt Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall

- 14 -

deliver such Debt Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered.

Section 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Debt Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in the case of a mutilated Debt Security shall, and in the case of a lost, stolen, or destroyed Debt Security may in its discretion, execute and, upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Debt Security of the same series, as the case may be, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Debt Security. In every case the applicant for a substituted Debt 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 Debt Security and of the ownership thereof.

Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt 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 connected therewith. In case any Debt Security which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Debt Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment 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 case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and the ownership thereof.

Every substituted Debt Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Debt Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Debt 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 Debt 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 2.08. Temporary Debt Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Debt Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten). Temporary Debt Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination and substantially in the form of the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Debt Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Debt Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will

- 15 -

execute and deliver to the Trustee definitive Debt Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Debt Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at the option of the holders thereof, either at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 or at any of such other offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Debt Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Debt Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.09. Cancellation of Debt Securities Paid, etc. All Debt Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, repayment, exchange or registration of transfer, if surrendered to the Company, any registrar, any paying agent or any other agent of the Company or of the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it, and no Debt Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee may dispose of canceled Debt Securities in accordance with its customary procedures and deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company or, at the written request of the Company, shall deliver canceled Debt Securities to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Debt Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Debt Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.10. Computation of Interest. Interest on the 2015 Notes and the 2019 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The amount of interest for each day that the Floating Rate Notes are Outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) shall be calculated by dividing the interest rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) in effect during the applicable Interest Period or Initial Interest Period (each as defined in Exhibit C hereto), as applicable, by 360 and multiplying the result by the outstanding principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for any applicable period shall be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in such period.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

Section 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article Three shall be applicable, as the case may be, (i) to any Debt Securities which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity or (ii) to any Debt Securities which are redeemable pursuant to a Collateral Redemption Event.

- 16 -

Section 3.02. Notice of Optional Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities. In case the Company shall desire to exercise pursuant to Section 3.03 any right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of, the Debt Securities of any series in accordance with their terms, it shall fix a date for redemption. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities of any series to be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid (or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository), at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Trustee and to such Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the registry books of the Company. Notices of redemption to be sent to the Holders of Debt Securities shall be sent only to the Holders of the series of Debt Securities to be redeemed.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which the Debt Securities of such series are to be redeemed or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof, the expected amount of unpaid accrued interest to but not including the date of redemption, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that any unpaid interest accrued to but not including the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If less than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall specify the number or numbers of the Debt Securities to be redeemed. In case any Debt Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of the redemption date and of the principal amount and series of Debt Securities to be redeemed. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Make-Whole Redemption Amount applicable to such series being redeemed and the expected amount of unpaid accrued interest to but not including the date of redemption promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation.

Prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.05) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Debt Securities or portions thereof so called for redemption, together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. If less than all the Debt Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company will give the Trustee notice not less than 60 days prior to the redemption date as to the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of such series to be redeemed, and the Trustee shall select or cause to be selected, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed. Debt Securities of a series may be redeemed in part only in multiples of the smallest authorized denomination of that series.

- 17 -

Section 3.03. Payment of Debt Securities Called for Optional Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities of the series with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at a redemption price equal to the Make-Whole Redemption Amount together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at a place of payment in said notice specified the said Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Debt Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.02 and 2.04.

Upon presentation of any Debt Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debt Security so presented.

Section 3.04. Notice of Mandatory Redemption for Collateral Redemption Event. Following the occurrence of a Collateral Redemption Event, the Debt Securities shall be subject to mandatory redemption in whole but not in part no later than 30 days following such Collateral Redemption Event. Notice of such mandatory redemption shall be mailed (or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository) not more than five days following such Collateral Redemption Event to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear in the registry books of the Company and to the Trustee.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for mandatory redemption, the redemption price at which the Debt Securities of each series are to be redeemed, which shall be the Collateral Redemption Event Amount applicable to such series, together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. Each such notice of redemption need not set forth the actual Collateral Redemption Event Amount but only the manner of calculation thereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the Collateral Redemption Event Amount applicable to such series being redeemed and the expected amount of unpaid accrued interest to but not including the date of redemption promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no responsibility for such calculation.

Prior to the redemption date specified in the mandatory notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.04, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.05) an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the mandatory redemption date all the Outstanding Debt Securities, together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

- 18 -

Section 3.05. Payment in Connection with Mandatory Redemption Upon a Collateral Redemption Event. If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.04, the Debt Securities shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Collateral Redemption Event Amount, together with unpaid accrued interest to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at a place of payment in said notice specified the said Debt Securities shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for mandatory redemption; provided, however, that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Debt Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.02 and 2.04.

Section 3.06. Knowledge of Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a Collateral Redemption Event or whether the Debt Securities are required to be redeemed as a result thereof, unless the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the Company, a Grantor or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding.

(a) default in the payment of the principal, or premium, if any, upon Debt Securities of any series including the failure to mandatorily redeem such Debt Securities to the extent required by, and in accordance with the terms set forth under Sections 3.04 and 3.05 hereto; or

(b) default for 30 days in the payment of interest upon any Debt Security; or

- 22 -

(c) default for 60 days after written notice to the Company from the Trustee or from the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all of the Outstanding Debt Securities (with a copy to the Trustee) in the performance of any other covenant or agreement by the Company under this Indenture (other than Article Fifteen or other covenants or agreements in this Indenture relating to the Collateral or in respect of the Security Documents);

(d) an event of default, as defined, with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, as a result of which such indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company shall have been accelerated and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled within 10 days after written notice thereof (provided however, that the resulting Event of Default with respect to such other indebtedness for borrowed money may be remedied, cured or waived by the remedying, curing or waiving of such other default under such other indebtedness for borrowed money) (a “Cross Acceleration”) and, in each case, where the principal amount of any such indebtedness for borrowed money, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness for borrowed money under which there has been a Cross Acceleration, aggregates to more than the greater of $100.0 million and 10% of all such indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries then outstanding;

(e) a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, and such decree and order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee (or other similar official) in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or of all or substantially all of its property, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

(f) the Company shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee (or other similar official) in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of all or substantially all of its property, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every case, unless the principal of all of the Debt Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of such Outstanding Debt Securities), may declare the principal amount and premium, if any, of all Debt Securities to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in such Debt Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding. This provision, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal amount of the Debt

- 23 -

Securities shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if any, upon all such Debt Securities and the principal of, and premium, if any, on any and all such Debt Securities which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal at the rate then borne by the Debt Securities of the applicable series, to the date of such payment or deposit) and all amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, and any and all defaults under this Indenture with respect to the Debt Securities, other than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on such Debt Securities which shall have become due solely by acceleration, shall have been remedied or cured or waived or provision shall have been made therefor to the satisfaction of the Trustee then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to the Debt Securities and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right 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 several 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 6.02. Payment of Debt Securities on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest upon the Debt Securities of a series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal, or premium, if any, upon a series of Debt Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable including the failure to mandatorily redeem such Debt Securities to the extent required by, and in accordance with the terms set forth under Sections 3.04 and 3.05 hereto, whether at the Stated Maturity of such Debt Security or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise; then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company shall pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities with respect to which such default shall have occurred, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on any such Debt Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest (including interest on overdue interest and principal, if any) and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover costs and expenses of collection, and any further amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor upon such Debt Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or

- 24 -

any other obligor on such Debt Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable and may direct the Security Trustee with respect to the exercise of remedies following an Enforcement Event.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities of any series under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, or in case a receiver or trustee (or other similar official) shall have been appointed for the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor on any Debt Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Debt Securities 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of any Debt Securities and, in the case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on any Debt Securities, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of costs and expenses of collection, and any further amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06 and incurred by it up to the date of such distribution; and any receiver, assignee or trustee (or other similar official) in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee costs and expenses of collection and any further amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06 and incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.

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 any of the Debt Securities 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.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any Debt Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of such Debt Securities or the production thereof in any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Debt Securities in respect of which such action was taken. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings in which a declaratory judgment of a court may be sought as to the interpretation or construction of any provision of this Indenture, to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the holders of the Debt Securities to which such proceedings relate, and it shall not be necessary to make any holders of such Debt Securities parties to any such proceedings.

Section 6.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Six shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the several Debt Securities in respect of which moneys have been 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 7.06;

	THIRD: To the payment of the balance, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons legally entitled thereto.

Section 6.04. Proceedings by Holders. No Holder of any Debt Security shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding to the extent lawful in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee (or other similar official), or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default with respect to the Debt Securities and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Debt Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Debt 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 Holder of Debt Securities of such series, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the matter herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Debt Securities of such series.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Debt Security to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Debt Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Debt Security, or upon redemption, by declaration, repayment or otherwise, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder, and no provision of the Debt Securities of any series or of this Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Debt

- 26 -

Securities at the respective places, at the respective times, at the respective rates and in the coin or currency, therein and herein prescribed.

Section 6.05. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law and to direct the Security Trustee with respect to the exercise of remedies following an Enforcement Event.

Unless directed by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities in accordance with and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have no right or obligation under this Indenture or otherwise to exercise any remedies on behalf of the Holders of the Debt Securities in connection with any default by any Grantor in the performance of any covenant or agreement contained in any Security Document or any default by the Company under this Indenture or any Security Document that, with the giving of notice, passage of time or both, could not become an Event of Default. In connection with any such exercise of remedies, the Trustee shall be entitled to the same immunities and protections and remedial rights (other than acceleration) as if such default were an Event of Default, including, without limitation, immunities and protections under Section 7.01(c).

Section 6.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Debt Securities of any series shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of such Debt Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any such Debt Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Debt Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the holders of such Debt Securities.

Section 6.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Holders. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding 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, with respect to the Debt Securities; provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of Section 7.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible

- 27 -

Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any declaration accelerating the Maturity of the Debt Securities, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all such Debt Securities waive any past default or Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities and its consequences except a default in the payment of interest, if any, on, or the principal or premium, if any, upon any Debt Security including the failure to mandatorily redeem such Debt Securities to the extent required by, and in accordance with the terms set forth under Sections 3.04 and 3.05 hereto, or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 10.02 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Debt Security affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of such Debt Securities shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.07, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Debt Securities and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.

Section 6.08. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Debt Securities, give notice of all defaults known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee to all Holders of Debt Securities in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “defaults” for the purpose of this Section 6.08 being hereby defined to be the events specified in Section 6.01, not including the periods of grace, if any, provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of the notices specified in clauses (c) and (d) of Section 6.01); provided, however, that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the holders of such Debt Securities.

Section 6.09. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Debt 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, omitted or suffered 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, 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 6.09 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Debt Securities or group of such holders, holding in the aggregate more than twenty-five percent in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Debt Security on or after the due date expressed in such Debt Security, on or after the date fixed for redemption or repayment or after such Debt Security shall have become due by declaration.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver each Indenture Document, including each Security Document (and documents ancillary thereto) to which it is a party.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Debt Securities pursuant to Section 6.07 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to such Debt Securities.

None of the provisions of this Indenture shall be construed as requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if

- 29 -

there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

The provisions of this Section 7.01 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 7.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. In furtherance of and subject to the Trust Indenture Act, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.01:

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed in the name of the Company by an Officer (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary or an Attesting Secretary of the Company;

(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered reasonable security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any inquiry or investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs and expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security conferred upon it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding; and the reasonable expenses of such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand;

- 30 -

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder; and

Section 7.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Debt Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company (except in the Trustee’s certificates of authentication), and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.

The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Debt Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

Section 7.04. Ownership of Debt Securities. The Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or such agent.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.04, 12.03, 12.04 and 16.12, all moneys received by the Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree in writing with the Company to pay thereon. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Company, signed by an Officer.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and, except as otherwise expressly provided, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and its duties hereunder, including the costs and

- 31 -

expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 7.07. Officer’s Certificate as Evidence. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, omitting or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, omitted or suffered by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 7.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests for the Trustee. The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

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 7.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation at any time shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

The provisions of this Section 7.09 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 7.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any Trustee or Trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to any one or more or all series of Debt Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Company and by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books of the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed in the name of and on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized officer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.09, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,

- 32 -

petition any such court for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any series of Debt Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series for at least six months, or

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to any series of Debt Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to such series and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed in the name of and on behalf of the Company by a duly authorized officer, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities 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 removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of one or more series (each series voting as a class) or all series at the time Outstanding may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series or all series, as the case may be, and appoint with respect to the applicable series or all series, as the case may be, a successor Trustee by written notice of such action to the Company, the Trustee and the successor Trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and any appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

(e) No predecessor Trustee shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Trustee.

- 33 -

Section 7.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee with respect to any or all applicable series shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment (or due provision therefor) of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights and powers with respect to such series of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Debt 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 with respect to the Debt 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 with respect to a series of Debt Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall, with respect to such series, be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee with respect to any series as provided in this Section 7.11, the Company shall give notice thereof to the holders of Debt Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books of the Company. If the Company fails to mail such notice within ten days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.

Section 7.12. Succession by Merger, etc. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, without the execution or filing of any paper or any

- 34 -

further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trust created by this Indenture with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities, any of such securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee by merger, conversion or consolidation may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Debt Security so authenticated; and in case at that time any of such Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of such successor to the Trustee or, if such successor to the Trustee is a successor by merger, conversion or consolidation, the name of any predecessor hereunder; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in such Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 7.13. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Debt Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer, or partial redemption or pursuant to Section 2.07 and Debt Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $10,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.13, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 7.13.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 7.13, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the

- 35 -

Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all holders of Debt Securities as their names and addresses appear in the Security register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 7.13.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 7.13.

If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section 7.13, the Debt Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such Holders of Debt Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Holders.

- 36 -

Section 8.02. Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy may be proved in the following manner: The fact and date of the execution by any Holder of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgements of deeds or administer oaths that the Person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer or in any other manner that the Trustee may deem sufficient. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the Person executing the same.

The ownership of Debt Securities shall be proved by the registry books of the Company.

The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.07.

The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of holders of Debt Securities of any series entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 8.01, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or reconsideration) not more than 60 days nor less than five days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, with respect to Debt Securities of any series, only holders of Debt Securities of such series of record on such record date shall be entitled to so vote or give such consent or revoke such vote or consent.

Section 8.03. Who are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may deem the Person in whose name any Debt Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company to be, and may treat such Person as, the absolute owner of such Debt Security (whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.04) interest, if any, on such Debt Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 8.04. Company-Owned Debt Securities Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities have concurred in any demand, request, notice, direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Debt Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities with respect to which such determination is being made or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities with respect to which such determination is being made shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such demand, request, notice, direction consent or waiver, only Debt Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Debt Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04

- 37 -

if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company of any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Debt Security which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future holders of such Debt Security, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or any Debt Security issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option applicable to this Section 14.02 with respect to a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below are satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth below (hereinafter, “legal defeasance”). For this purpose, such legal defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Debt Securities and this Indenture and the applicable Security Documents insofar as such Debt Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute instruments provided by the Company and acceptable to the Trustee acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder, with respect to the transfer or exchange of such series of Debt Securities: (A) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Debt Securities under Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 4.01 and such obligations as shall be ancillary thereto, (B) the rights, obligations and immunities and other provisions in respect of the Trustee hereunder and (C) the rights of Holders with respect to property deposited with the Trustee under this Indenture.

Before such a deposit the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Debt Securities at a future date or dates in accordance with Article Three, which shall be given effect in applying the foregoing.

(b) If any series of Debt Securities shall remain outstanding following legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, no Event of Default with respect to the remaining Debt Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit.

(c) Such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreements or instruments to which the Company is a party.

(d) In the case of legal defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Company has received a direct ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or such a ruling has been published, or since the Effective Date of the Debt Securities there has been a change in the applicable federal income Tax law, such that the Holders of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be defeased will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income Tax purposes as a result of the legal defeasance. The ruling must provide that the Holders of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be defeased will be subject to federal income Tax on the same amounts, in the same manner, and at the same times as would have been the case if the legal defeasance had not occurred.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if and to the extent the deposited money or U.S. Government Obligations (or the proceeds thereof) either (i) cannot be applied by the Trustee in accordance with this Section because of a court order or (ii) are for any reason insufficient in amount, then the Company’s obligations to pay principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities of such series shall be reinstated to the extent necessary to cover the deficiency on any due date for payment.

- 49 -

payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal or interest on any Debt Security) the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within three Business Days prior to or on or after such date.

Section 14.07. Certification of Defeasance. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 14.04 with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities, the Trustee will certify as directed by the Company that a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, has occurred with respect to such series.

Floating Rate Senior Secured Note due 2015

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1. Interest. General Electric Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Debt Security at the rate of LIBOR plus the Spread from December 12, 2012 until December 11, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”) and, if applicable, on overdue interest and principal as provided in the Indenture. The Company will pay interest quarterly in cash in arrears, on March 11th, June 11th, September 11th and December 11th of each year, beginning on March 11, 2013, subject to the Business Day Convention (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), to the Persons in whose names the Debt Securities of this series (the “Debt Securities” or the “Floating Rate Notes”) are registered at the close of business on the March 1st, June 1st, September 1st or December 1st (whether or not a business day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date except that the regular record date for interest due on any Debt Security’s Maturity or date of earlier redemption will be that particular date. Interest on the Debt Securities will accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Debt Securities, or if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Debt Securities, from the Effective Date until their Stated Maturity date or earlier redemption with interest on overdue interest, if any, accruing as provided in the Indenture. The amount of interest for each day that the Floating Rate Notes are Outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) shall be calculated by dividing the interest rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) in effect during the applicable Interest Period or Initial Interest Period, as applicable, by 360 and multiplying the result by the Outstanding principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Floating Rate Notes for any applicable period shall be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in such period.

Each Debt Security will bear interest at a rate that will be reset quarterly on each Interest Reset Date based on LIBOR as determined on the preceding Interest Determination Date and the Spread.

The Calculation Agent will determine LIBOR on each Interest Determination Date as follows:

(a) LIBOR during the Initial Interest Period will be determined two London Business Days prior to the Effective Date and such date will be treated as an Interest Determination Date. Thereafter, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the average of the offered rates for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of three months beginning on the second London Business Day immediately after the Interest Determination Date that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date, if at least two offered rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page; provided that if the specified Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, that single rate will be used. If fewer than two offered rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, or, if no rate appears on any page on which only one rate normally appears, LIBOR for that Interest Determination Date will be determined based on the rates on that Interest Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, at which deposits on that date in United States dollars for a period of three months are offered to prime

C-3

banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in that market selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company). The offered rates must begin on the second London Business Day immediately after the Interest Determination Date commencing at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of these banks to quote its rate. If the Calculation Agent receives at least two such quotations, LIBOR will be the average of those quotations.

(b) If the Calculation Agent receives fewer than two such quotations, LIBOR will be the average of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company). The rates will be for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks having a maturity of three months beginning on the second London Business Day after that date commencing at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York.

(c) If fewer than three such banks provide such quotes, the rate of interest on the Debt Securities with respect to the following Interest Reset Period shall be the rate of interest as in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

(d) Each calculation of the interest rate on the Debt Securities by the Calculation Agent shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding on the Holders of the Debt Securities and the Company. All final percentages resulting from the completion of any calculation of any interest rate for the Debt Securities shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward, and all U.S. dollar amounts shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

(e) Defined terms used in the above paragraphs have the following definitions:

“Business Day Convention” means if any Interest Payment Date (other than one that falls on the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date) is not a Business Day, then such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day unless that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, in which case the Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If any such Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date or, if applicable, an earlier redemption date) is postponed or brought forward as described in the preceding sentence, the interest amount shall be adjusted accordingly and the Holder shall be entitled to more or less interest, respectively. If the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date is not a Business Day or any Interest Payment Date falls on the Maturity Date or an earlier redemption date where such dates are not Business Days, then, the principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day; however, no additional interest will be paid due to the delay in payment.

“Designated LIBOR Page” means the Reuters screen “LIBOR01” or such other page as may replace the Reuters screen “LIBOR01” on that service or such other page as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits.

“Initial Interest Period” means the period beginning on, and including, the Effective Date and ending on, but not including, the earlier of the first Interest Payment Date or the date of an earlier redemption.

C-4

“Interest Determination Date” means, for each Interest Reset Date, the second London Business Day preceding such Interest Reset Date.

“Interest Period” means the period beginning on, and including an Interest Payment Date and ending on, but not including, the following Interest Payment Date, except that the final Interest Period shall be the period beginning on, and including, the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date in respect of a Floating Rate Note, as applicable, and ending on, but not including, the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date in respect of such Floating Rate Note, as the case may be.

“Interest Reset Date” means, for each Interest Period other than the Initial Interest Period, the first day of such Interest Period. If any Interest Reset Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Reset Date will be the next day that is a Business Day, provided that if the next Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.

“London Business Day” means any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which commercial banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to be closed in London.

“Spread” means 60 basis points.

3. Paying Agent, Registrar and Calculation Agent. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Calculation Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Calculation Agent without notice to any Holder. The Company may act in the capacity of Paying Agent or Registrar.

may be amended or supplemented, or the Security Trustee may be directed to enter into such amendments, modifications or supplements to the Security Documents: (a) to evidence pursuant to Article Eleven of the Indenture the succession of another Person to the Company or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company; (b) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities or any additional Event of Default for the Debt Securities; (c) to add additional collateral as security for the Debt Securities other than as contemplated by the Security Documents; (d) to evidence the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor or additional Security Trustee; (e) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the Indenture or the Security Documents to the extent not inconsistent with other provisions of the Indenture or the Security Documents or otherwise amend or supplement the terms of the Debt Securities, the Indenture or the Security Documents to the extent such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Debt Securities in any material respect or (f) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Debt Securities to any provision in the Offering Document under the heading “Description of the Notes” to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Debt Securities.
