SECTION 2.2. Events

Section 4.1(e) of the
Original Indenture is amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
(e) the occurrence and
continuation beyond any applicable grace period of any default in
the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or
interest on any Debt of the Company (other than such Securities) or
any Subsidiary when due, or any other default causing acceleration
of any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that
the aggregate principal amount of such Debt shall exceed
$100,000,000; provided further that if any such default is
cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such Debt is
repaid, within a period of 10 days from the continuation of such
default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of
such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default under
this Indenture and any consequential acceleration of such
Securities shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such
rescission does not conflict with any judgment or
decree.
SECTION 2.3.
Acceleration of Maturity.
Section 4.2 of the
Original Indenture is amended by adding the following paragraphs as
the second and third paragraphs thereof:
Notwithstanding the foregoing
to the extent elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event
of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with
the provisions of Section 9.9 shall, for the first 120 days
after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist
exclusively of the right to receive special interest
(“Special Interest”) on the Notes at an annual rate
equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Notes. Such Special
Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrears, with the first
semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date
following the date on which such Special Interest began to accrue
on the Notes. Special Interest shall accrue on all Outstanding
Notes from and including the date on which an Event of Default
relating to a failure to comply with the provisions of
Section 9.9 shall first occur to but not including the
120 th day
thereafter (or such earlier date on which such Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived). On such 120 th day (or earlier, if the Event of Default
relating to the failure to comply with Section 9.9 shall be
cured or waived prior to such 120 th day), such Special Interest shall cease
to accrue and, if the Event of Default relating to the failure to
comply with Section 9.9 shall not have been cured or waived
prior to such 120 th day,
the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in this
Section 4.2. The provisions of this paragraph shall not affect
the rights of holders in the event of the occurrence of any other
Event of Default. In the event the Company shall not elect to pay
Special Interest upon an Event of Default resulting from the
failure of the Company to comply with the provisions of
Section 9.9, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as
provided above in this Section 4.2.
If the Company shall elect to
pay Special Interest in connection with an Event of Default
relating to its failure to comply with the requirements of
Section 9.9, (1) the Company shall notify all Holders and
the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election in writing on or
before the close of business on the date on which such Event of
Default shall first occur, and (2) all references herein to
interest accrued or payable as of any date shall include any
Special Interest accrued or payable as of such date as provided in
this Section 4.2.

the office or agency of the Company referred to below, and to pay

FORM OF REVERSE OF 2013
NOTE
This Security is one of a
duly authorized issue of the series of securities of the Company
designated as its 4.625% Senior Notes due 2013 (herein called the
“Securities”), which is issued under, with securities
of one or more additional series that may be issued under, the
Indenture dated as of July 19, 2007, between the Company and
The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (herein called
the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor
trustee under the Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the
First Supplemental Indenture dated as of July 19, 2007 and the
Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 18, 2008 (such
Indenture, as so amended and supplemented, being called the
“Indenture”), to which Indenture and all future
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties,
obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the
Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered.
The Securities are subject to
redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at
any time and from time to time, upon not less than 30 or more than
60 days’ notice, at a Redemption Price of 100% of their
principal amount plus a Make-Whole Amount, together in the case of
any such redemption with accrued and unpaid interest to the
Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest
Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date), all as
provided in the Indenture.
In the case of any redemption
of Securities, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the
close of business on the relevant Record Date referred to on the
face hereof. Securities (or portions thereof) for whose redemption
and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture
shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption
Date.
In the event of redemption of
this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the
unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
The Securities do not have
the benefit of any sinking fund or mandatory repurchase
obligations.
As set forth in the
Indenture, an Event of Default is generally: (a) failure to
pay principal upon Stated Maturity, redemption or otherwise;
(b) default for 30 days in payment of interest on any of the
Securities; (c) default in the performance of agreements
relating to mergers, consolidations and sales of all or
substantially all assets; (d) failure for 30 days after notice
to comply with any other covenants in the Indenture or the
Securities; (e) certain payment defaults under, or the
acceleration prior to the maturity of, Debt of the Company or any
Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount in excess of
$100,000,000; and (f) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization of the Company.
If any Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least
25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may
declare the principal
A-4
amount of all the Securities to be due
and payable immediately, except that (i) in the case of an
Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization of the Company, the principal amount
of the Securities will become due and payable immediately without
further action or notice, (ii) in the case of an Event of
Default which relates to certain payment defaults or acceleration
with respect to certain Debt, any acceleration of the Securities
will be automatically rescinded if any such Debt is repaid or if
the default relating to such Debt is cured or waived and if the
holders thereof have accelerated such Debt then such holders have
rescinded their declaration of acceleration and (iii) in the
case of an Event of Default which relates to certain defaults in
timely filing reports and documents under the Exchange Act, the
Company may elect to pay Special Interest as the sole remedy for
such Event of Default during the first 120 days after the
occurrence thereof.
No Holder may pursue any
remedy under the Indenture unless the Trustee shall have
faile
