Subject to the terms hereof, if any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(b) hereof, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, and the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 3.03 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 the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Senior Notes are so registered.

SECTION 3.04.Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time.

(ix) that each Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Senior Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have the Senior Notes purchased; and

(x) that Holders whose Senior Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Senior Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Senior Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Senior Notes as a result of a Change in Control Triggering Event.

The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. The Change of Control Offer, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.01 and purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, and all indentures supplemental thereto relevant to the Notes, for a complete description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.

The Indenture also imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company to merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into any other person or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the property of the Company in any one transaction or series of related transactions.

Each Note is subject to, and qualified by, all such terms as set forth in the Indenture, certain of which are summarized herein, and each Holder of a Note is referred to the corresponding provisions of the Indenture for a complete statement of such terms. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between the summary provisions set forth in the Notes and the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (6) and (7) of Section 6.01 of the Original Indenture) with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice as provided in the Original Indenture may declare the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default described in clauses (6) and (7) of Section 6.01 of the Original Indenture occurs, the principal amount of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes will automatically, and without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. After the principal amount of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable (or shall have become immediately due and payable), and before a judgment or decree for payment of moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as provided in the Original Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if any and all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal (or other specified amount) and interest, if any, on such Notes have been remedied or waived as provided in the Indenture.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding will 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 Notes. Except to enforce payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on a Note on or after the applicable due date specified in such Note, no Holder of a Note will have any right to pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes, unless (i) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes; (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made written request, and such Holder or Holders have offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to institute such proceeding; and (iii) the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding, and has not received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer.
