pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) will be registered in such
name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations
as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through
instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and

such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are
so registered.

cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be
increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global
Notes. If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a
beneficial interest is effected pursuant to this paragraph at a
time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company will
issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance
with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee will authenticate one or
more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the

Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly
authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder must

request.
(2) No
service charge will be made to a Holder of a Global Note or to a

to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in
connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes
or
-22-
similar
governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to
Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.11, 4.16 and 9.05

exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in
part.
(4) All
Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be
the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global
Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange.
(5) The
Company will not be required:
(A) to issue, to
register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of
any selection of Notes for redemption or purchase under
Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the

Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in
whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such

so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture,
and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to
form with the express requirements hereof.
Section 2.07.
Replacement Notes . If any mutilated Note is surrendered to
the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the
Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the
Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or
the Company, an affidavit of loss and an indemnity bond must be
supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the
Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any
Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them
may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its
expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement
Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be

outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a
Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the
Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be
outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof.
If a Note is
replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it
that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.
If the principal
amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01
hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to
accrue.
If the Paying
Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any
thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money
sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after
that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and
will cease to accrue interest.
Section 2.09.
Treasury Notes . In determining whether the Holders of the
required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction,
waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct
or indirect common control with the Company, will be considered as
though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are
so owned will be so disregarded.
Section 2.10.
Temporary Notes . Until certificates representing Notes are
ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon
receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary
Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of
certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company
will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in
exchange for temporary Notes. After preparation of Definitive
Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive
Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes.
Holders of
temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this
Indenture.

registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no
one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will
destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement
of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all
canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. The Company may
not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.12.
Defaulted Interest . If the Company defaults in a payment of
interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any
lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the
defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent
special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes
and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to
be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The
Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date
and payment date; provided that no such special record date
may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for
such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special
record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the
Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company)
will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the
special record date, the related payment date and the amount of
such interest to be paid.

partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be
in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be
redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held
by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed
or purchased provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less can be
redeemed in part. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for
redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for
redemption or purchase.
Section 3.03.
Notice of Redemption . Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than
60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to
be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each
Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address,
except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days
prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection
with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 of this
Indenture.
The notice will
identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:
(2) the redemption
price;
(3) if any Note is
being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such
Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon
surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of
the original Note;
(4) the name and
address of the Paying Agent;
(5) that Notes
called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to

-25-
(6) that, unless
the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on
Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
redemption date;
(7) the paragraph
of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the
Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and
(8) that no
representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the
CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the
Notes.
At the
Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of
redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense;
provided , however , that the Company has delivered
to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an
Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such
notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such
notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.
Section 3.04.
Effect of Notice of Redemption . Once notice of redemption
is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called
for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption
date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be
conditional.
Section 3.05.
Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price . Prior to
10:00 a.m. New York City time on the relevant redemption or
purchase price date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or
with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or

or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will
promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee
or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts
necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued
interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.
If the Company
complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and
after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to
accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption
or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an
interest record date but on or prior to the related interest
payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to
the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of
business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or
purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase
because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding
paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the
redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to
the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in
Section 4.01 hereof.
Section 3.06.
Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part . Upon surrender of a
Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue
and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will

unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note
surrendered.

hereof.
The Asset Sale
Offer shall be made to all Holders and, at the Company’s
option, all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with

of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata
basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been
tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to
the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be
made in the same manner as interest payments are made.
If the Purchase

related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest
shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at
the close of business on such record date, and no additional
interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to
the Asset Sale Offer.
Upon the
commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send, by
first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders,
with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all
instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to
tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which

Section 4.11 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer
will remain open;

Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;
(3) that any Note
not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue
interest;
(4) that, unless
the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for
payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue
interest after the Purchase Date;

electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer
may elect to have Notes purchased in a principal amount of $2,000
or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof
only;
(6) that Holders
electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer
will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled
“Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of
the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the
Company, a Depositary, if appointed by
-27-
the Company, or
a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least
three days before the Purchase Date;
(7) that Holders
will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the
Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not
later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the
Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for
purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his
election to have such Note purchased;
(8) that, if the
aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu
Indebtedness surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the
Company will select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness to
be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of
Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such
adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that
only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of
$1,000 excess thereof, will be purchased); and
(9) that Holders
whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes
equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes
surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).
On or before the
Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for
payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer
Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset
Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all
Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were
accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of
this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying
Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later
than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each
tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes
tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase,
and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee,
upon written request from the Company, shall authenticate and mail
or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount
equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note
not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the
Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce
the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase
