(C)

to the extent that such beneficial owner is subject to such Indemnified Taxes by reason of the Holder's failure to comply with any certification, identification, documentation or other reporting requirements if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of, such

        "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

        "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the U.S. Denominated Securities being redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any

7

successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

        Section 3.02    Tax Redemption Event.    Upon the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event, the Company may redeem the U.S. Denominated Securities at any time, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the outstanding U.S. Denominated Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the U.S. Denominated Securities being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date, by delivering to the Agent Trustee at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the date fixed for such redemption, a certificate, signed by an authorized Officer, stating that the Company is entitled to redeem such U.S. Denominated Securities pursuant to this Section 3.02 and specifying the date fixed for such redemption.

        (b)   The Company and each Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify the Holders against any loss incurred by any of them as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under the Indenture, the Guaranties or the Securities being expressed and paid in the judgment currency and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. Dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in the City of New York at which the Company or such Guarantor on the date of payment of judgment or order is able to purchase U.S. Dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually paid by the Company or such Guarantor. The foregoing indemnity shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term "spot rate of exchange" shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, U.S. Dollars.

        Beneficial interests in Temporary Regulation S Global Securities may be exchanged for interests in Rule 144A Global Securities or Permanent Regulation S Global Securities only if (1) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of Securities in compliance with Rule 144A and (2) the transferor of the Regulation S Global Security first delivers to the Agent Trustee a written certificate (in a form satisfactory to the Agent Trustee) to the effect that the Regulation S Global Security is being transferred to a Person (a) who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB, (b) purchasing for its own account or the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and (c) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the States of the United States and other jurisdictions.

        (b)    Book-Entry Provisions.    This Section 2.1(b) shall apply only to a Global Security deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

        Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Agent Trustee as the custodian of the Depositary or under such Global Security, and the Company, the Agent Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Agent Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depositary as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Agent Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Agent Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Security.

Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which any original issue of Securities is to be authenticated.

        2.3    Transfer and Exchange

        (a)    Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Securities.    When Definitive Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request:

(x)

to register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or



(y)

to exchange such Definitive Securities for an equal principal amount of Definitive Securities of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar or co-registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met;provided,however, that the Definitive Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(i)

shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or co-registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and



(ii)

if such Definitive Securities are required to bear a restricted securities legend, are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:



(A)

if such Definitive Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, by a certification from such Holder to that effect; or



(B)

if such Definitive Securities are being transferred to the Company, by a certification to that effect; or



(C)

if such Definitive Securities are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: by (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth in the Terms of Notes attached to the Security) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i).

Upon receipt by the Agent Trustee of a Definitive Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Agent Trustee, together with:

          (i)  certification, in the form set forth in the Terms of Notes attached to the Security, that such Definitive Security is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) is being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially purchased such Security in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Security in the form of a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Security; and

A-4

         (ii)  written instructions directing the Agent Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Security (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)) or Permanent Regulation S Security (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the U.S. Denominated Securities represented by the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

then the Agent Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Security and cause, or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of U.S. Denominated Securities represented by the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Security so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Securities or Permanent Regulation S Global Securities, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Agent Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers' Certificate, a new Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.

        (c)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities.

          (i)  The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary's procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Security. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Regulation S Global Security, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Agent Trustee of a certification in the form set forth in the Terms of Notes attached to the Initial U.S. Denominated Securities from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream.

         (ii)  If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security from which such interest is being transferred.

        (iii)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another

A-5

nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

        (iv)  In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix, prior to the consummation of an Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Securities, such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth in the Terms of Notes attached to the Initial U.S. Denominated Securities intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

        (d)    Restrictions on Transfer of Temporary Regulation S Global Securities.    During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in Temporary Regulation S Global Securities may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (i) to the Company or any Guarantor, (ii) so long as such Security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a Person whom the selling holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (iii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (iv) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable) under the Securities Act, or (v) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Security shall be made only in accordance with Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Agent Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form set forth in the Terms of Notes attached to the Initial U.S. Denominated Securities to the effect that such transfer is being made to a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A.

        (e)    Legend.

          (i)  Except as permitted by the following paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv), each U.S. Denominated Security certificate evidencing the Restricted Global Securities (and all U.S. Denominated Securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. THE HOLDER OF THE NOTE REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY GUARANTOR, (II) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF

A-6

RULE 144A, (III) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (IV) PURSUANT TO EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (V) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND BASED ON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE COMPANY REQUEST OR (VI) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (VI) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE.

         (ii)  Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global Security) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a certificated U.S. Denominated Security that does not bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that such sale or transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth in the Terms of Notes attached to the U.S. Denominated Security).

        (iii)  After a transfer of any Initial U.S. Denominated Securities pursuant to and during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Initial U.S. Denominated Securities, as the case may be, all requirements pertaining to legends on such Initial U.S. Denominated Security will cease to apply, the requirements requiring that any such Initial U.S. Denominated Security be issued in global form will cease to apply, and a certificated Initial U.S. Denominated Security or an Initial U.S. Denominated Security in global form, in each case without restrictive transfer legends, will be available to the transferee of the Holder of such Initial U.S. Denominated Securities upon exchange of such transferring Holder's certificated Initial U.S. Denominated Security or directions to transfer such Holder's interest in the Global Security, as applicable.

        (iv)  Upon the consummation of an Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial U.S. Denominated Securities, all requirements pertaining to such Initial U.S. Denominated Securities that Initial U.S. Denominated Securities issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect to Holders of such Initial U.S. Denominated Securities that do not exchange their Initial U.S. Denominated Securities, and Exchange Securities in certificated or global form will be available to Holders that exchange such Initial U.S. Denominated Securities in such Exchange Offer.

         (v)  Upon a sale or transfer after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period of any Initial U.S. Denominated Security acquired pursuant to Regulation S, all requirements that such Initial U.S. Denominated Security bear the Temporary Regulation S Global Security Legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto shall cease to apply;provided,however, that the requirements requiring any Initial U.S. Denominated Security be issued in global form shall continue to apply.

        (f)    Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Security.    At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for certificated U.S. Denominated Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Agent Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for certificated Securities, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced and an

A-7

adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Agent Trustee with respect to such Global Security, by the Agent Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

        (g)    Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Securities.

         (ii)  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 3.06 and 9.05 of the Original Indenture).

        (iii)  The Registrar or co-registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any U.S. Denominated Security for a period beginning 15 days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redeem U.S. Denominated Securities.

        (iv)  Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any U.S. Denominated Security, the Company, the Agent Trustee, the U.S. Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a U.S. Denominated Security is registered as the absolute owner of such U.S. Denominated Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such U.S. Denominated Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such U.S. Denominated Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the U.S. Trustee, the Agent Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         (v)  All U.S. Denominated Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same continuing debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the U.S. Denominated Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

        (h)    No Obligation of the Agent Trustee or U.S. Trustee.

          (i)  The Agent Trustee and U.S. Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security, a member of or a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the U.S. Denominated Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such U.S. Denominated Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the U.S. Denominated Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Agent Trustee and the U.S. Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

         (ii)  The Agent Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any U.S. Denominated Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence

A-8

as are expressly required by, and to do 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.

        2.4    Certificated Securities

        (a)   A Restricted Global Security deposited with the Depositary or with the Agent Trustee as custodian for the Depositary pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated U.S. Denominated Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, in exchange for such Global Security, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.3 and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Restricted Global Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Agent Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of certificated U.S. Denominated Securities under this Indenture.

Payments in respect of the U.S. Denominated Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated U.S. Denominated Security (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof;provided,however, that payments on a certificated U.S. Denominated Security will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. Dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Agent Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Agent Trustee may accept in its discretion).

The U.S. Denominated Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of U.S. Denominated Securities are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. To the extent the terms of this U.S. Denominated Security and those of the Indenture may conflict, the Indenture shall control.

        The U.S. Denominated Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company.

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.

After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company or such other Person and not to the Agent Trustee for payment.

11.    Discharge and Defeasance

        Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate all of its obligations under the U.S. Denominated Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Agent Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the U.S. Denominated Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

        Securityholders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustees may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations provided for in the Indenture, Holders of Securities may direct the Trustees in their exercise of any trust or power.

14.    Trustees' Dealings with the Company

        Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, each Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee.

15.    No Recourse Against Others

        A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

        Initially, TD Banknorth, National Association, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States (the "Agent Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company, the Parent or any of the Parent's Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

14.    Trustees' Dealings with the Company

        Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act, each Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee.

15.    No Recourse Against Others

        A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Trustee shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.
