Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Indenture and Notes
On July 10, 2020, PVH Corp. (“PVH”) completed its previously announced private offering of $500 million principal amount of 45/8% senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), pursuant to the Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of July 10, 2020, between PVH and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, which governs the terms of the Notes.  Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 10 and July 10 of each year, commencing on January 10, 2021.  The Notes will mature on July 10, 2025.  PVH expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, the repayment of certain indebtedness.
The Notes were offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.  The Notes have not been and will not be initially registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
The Notes are unsecured, unsubordinated debt obligations, and rank equally with PVH’s other existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and senior in right of payment to PVH’s existing or future obligations that are by their terms expressly subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Notes.
Prior to June 10, 2025 (one month prior to the maturity date of the Notes) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Notes in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, and the excess if any, of (1) the present value at such redemption date of the remaining scheduled payments (through the Par Call Date assuming for such purpose that the notes matured on the Par Call Date) of principal and interest due on the Notes to be redeemed (but excluding accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the redemption date), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis using a discount rate equal to the treasury rate with respect to such redemption date, plus 50 basis points, over (2) the principal amount of such Notes on such redemption date.
Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events and a ratings downgrade, each holder of Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.  The Indenture limits the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur liens, enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, PVH entered into the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of July 10, 2020, by and among PVH and Barclays Capital Inc., as representative of the initial purchasers with respect to the Notes.  Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, PVH has agreed, among other things, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Notes for new notes (“Exchange Notes”) under the Securities Act having terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Notes (except that the Exchange Notes will not contain terms with respect to additional interest or transfer restrictions) and cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 270 days of the issuance of the notes or, in certain circumstances, to file a shelf registration statement with respect to resales of the Notes.  If PVH fails to satisfy these and other obligations contained in the Registration Rights Agreement, additional payments of interest will accrue on the Notes.
The foregoing descriptions of the Notes, the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their respective entireties by reference to the full text of the Indenture, the form of Note and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 hereto respectively and are incorporated by reference herein.

Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period.

The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of Securities or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest on, such Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.

Section 2.07 Holder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

Section 2.08 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Securities at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Holder requesting such transfer or exchange (other than any exchange of a temporary Security for a permanent Security not involving any change in ownership or any exchange pursuant to Section 2.12 or 9.05 hereof, not involving any transfer).
Notwithstanding any other provisions (other than the provisions set forth in the third paragraph) of this Section 2.08, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary. Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry.
Each Global Security is exchangeable for Securities in certificated form (the “Definitive Securities”) only if (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Company fails within 90 days thereafter to appoint a successor, (2) the Company in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be exchangeable or (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by the Global Securities. In such event, the Company will issue, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Definitive Securities, will authenticate and deliver, Definitive Securities in exchange for such Global Security. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security will be entitled to Definitive Securities equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Securities registered in its name. Securities so issued in certificated form will be issued in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will bear the applicable restrictive legend set forth below, unless not required by applicable law, and will be issued in registered form only, without coupons. Subject to the foregoing, no Global Security is exchangeable, except for a Global Security for the same series of Securities of like denomination to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee.
Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Definitive Securities, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. All canceled Global Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and a certificate of their destruction delivered to the Company.
At the option of the Holders of Definitive Securities, Definitive Securities may be exchanged for other Definitive Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Definitive Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Definitive Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Definitive Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, 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 from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security (including, with limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Security). In the event any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof.
Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Securities duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 2.09 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
Section 2.10 Outstanding Securities.
The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee  except for those canceled by the Trustee, those delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. Subject to the foregoing, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles 6 and 9 hereof), only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Security 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 Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.
Section 2.11 When Securities Disregarded.
For purposes of determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have taken any action under this Indenture, Securities owned by the Company or by any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.
Section 2.12 Temporary Securities.
Until certificates representing Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of certificated Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.
Holders of temporary Securities shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture as permanent Securities.
Section 2.13 Cancellation.
The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy canceled Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all canceled Securities shall be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.14 Payment of Interest.
Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, even if such Securities are canceled after such applicable Regular Record Date and on or before such applicable Interest Payment Date, except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.14 with respect to Defaulted Interest.
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities which is payable (“Defaulted Interest”), it shall 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 Securities.

If the Company elects to redeem Securities, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, written notice of such redemption accompanied with an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and (iv) the Redemption Price. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Company and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not fewer than 10 days after the date of notice to the Trustee. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.
The Company is not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Securities and may at any time and from time to time acquire Securities by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to an issuer tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise, so long as the acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.
Section 3.02 Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed.
If the Company is redeeming less than all of the Securities at any time, the Trustee will select Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis (or as nearly pro rata as practicable in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary) unless otherwise required by law or the applicable procedures of the Depositary. In any case, the principal amount of a Security remaining outstanding after a redemption in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.
Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption to Holders.
At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, or delivered electronically if held by any Depositary in accordance with such Depositary’s customary procedures, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at its registered address. Any redemption may, at the Company’s option, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was delivered (or delivered electronically if the Securities are held by any depositary)) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Company any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived.
The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:
(a) the Redemption Date;
(b) the Redemption Price and the amounts of accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date;
(c) if less than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the portion of the principal amount) of the particular Security to be redeemed;
(d) that, after the Redemption Date upon cancellation of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion, if any, of the original Security shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Security;
(e) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(f) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest;
(g) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest, if any, on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(h) the paragraph of the Securities and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Securities called for redemption are being redeemed; and
(i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, ISIN and/or other identifying number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.
The Company may provide in any notice of redemption that payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and the performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.
At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice of redemption may be mailed, or delivered electronically, more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.
Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in such notice, subject to the second sentence of the first paragraph of Section 3.03. A notice of redemption may be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the Redemption Price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date is on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Securities subject to redemption shall be paid on the Redemption Date to the Person in whose name the Securities are registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Securities are subject to redemption by the Company. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.
Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.
Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and (unless the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the Redemption Date on the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall 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 Price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities to be redeemed.
If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Securities or the portions of Securities called for redemption. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the Redemption 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 Securities.
Section 3.06 Reserved.
Section 3.07 Securities Redeemed in Part.
If any Definitive Security is to be redeemed in part only, upon surrender of the Definitive Security, a Definitive Security or Definitive Securities of the same series will be issued by the Company (and authenticated by the Trustee) in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion (at the expense of the Company) of the Definitive Security Surrendered. If any Global Security is to be redeemed in part only, the records of the Trustee shall reflect such decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee, an affiliate of the Trustee or the Registrar) where the Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
The Company also may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each place of payment for the Securities for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to its right to rescind such designation, the Company hereby designates that, with respect to any Global Security, the Corporate Trust Office for the Trustee shall be the place of payment where such Global Security may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefor; provided, however, that any such payment, presentation, surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the procedures of the Depositary for such Global Security shall be deemed to have been effected at the place of payment for such Global Security in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 4.03 SEC Reports.
(a) So long as the Securities are outstanding the Company will deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after the filing of the same with the SEC, copies of the quarterly and annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports, if any, which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities if the Company has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available.
(c) In addition, for so long as any Securities remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company will furnish to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. The Company will at all times comply with the provisions of TIA §314(a), to the extent the Trust Indenture Act applies to this Indenture or any Securities.

SUCCESSORS
Section 5.01 Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets.
The Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of in one transaction or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of its assets to, any Person, unless:
(a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental thereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture;
(b) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an Obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by such Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and
(c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture;
provided, however, that clause (3) will not be applicable to the Company merging, consolidating or amalgamating with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose and with the sole effect of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction.
For purposes of this Section 5.01, the conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of one or more Subsidiaries, which assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition, as applicable, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Section 5.03 Reserved.
ARTICLE 6.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 6.01 Events of Default.
Each of the following is an event of default (each, an “Event of Default”):
(a) a default in the payment of interest on the Securities when due, continued for 30 days;
(b) a default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on, any Security when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required purchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;
(c) the failure by the Company to comply for 30 days after notice with its obligations under Article 5;
(d) the failure by the Company to comply for 45 days after notice with any of its obligations under Article 10 (other than a failure to purchase Securities);
(e) the failure by the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after notice with its other covenants, obligations, warranties or agreements contained in this Indenture;
(f) Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total principal amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $150.0 million;
(g) (A) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its assets or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (B) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (i) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; or
(h) a final, non-appealable judgment or order is rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, which requires the payment in money by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary either individually or in the aggregate, of an amount (to the extent not covered by insurance) in excess of $150.0 million and such judgment or order remains unsatisfied, undischarged, unvacated, unbonded and unstayed for 60 days.
However, a default under clauses (c), (d) and (e) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (c), (d) and (e) after receipt of such notice.
Section 6.02 Acceleration.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (g) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest on all the Securities will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of the Securities. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities rescind an acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.
Section 6.03 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Security in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on or interest on the Securities (including in connection with an offer to repurchase) (provided, however, that pursuant to Section 6.02 of this Indenture the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. This Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of TIA § 316(a)(1)(B), and TIA § 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Securities, as permitted by the TIA.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Security or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. This Section 6.05 shall be in lieu of TIA § 316(a)(1)(A), and TIA § 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Securities, as permitted by the TIA.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.
Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a Security may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:
(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(b) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and
(e) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.
A Holder of any Security may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.
Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Securities to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Holder of the Securities shall have the right to bring suit for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on its Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Security (including in connection with an offer to repurchase).
Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any on, and interest remaining unpaid on the Securities and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized 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 (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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 any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 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 the Securities or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 6.10 Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second: to Holders of Securities for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any), ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, premium, if any and interest, respectively; and
Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.10.
Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.
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 or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Security pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 its exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs. Other than with respect to an Event of Default in the payment when due of interest or an Event of Default in the payment when due of principal of or premium, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of Events of Default unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge or receives written notice of such Event of Default in accordance with Section 11.02 and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders of Securities, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and then only to the extent required by the terms of this Indenture.
(b) With respect to the Securities, except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities:
(i)
the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(ii)
in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
(i)
this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;
(ii)
the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii)
the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.
(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.
(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.
(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.
(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence.
(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company.
(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Securities unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
(g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.
(h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee; provided,however, if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as defined in the TIA, it must either eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee must also comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.
Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Securities or any other document in connection with the sale of the Securities or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.
Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.
If a Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities and the Trustee has notice of such Default as described in Section 7.01(a) hereof, the Trustee will mail to each Holder of Securities a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs in the manner and to the extent provided in the TIA and otherwise as provided in this Indenture; provided, however, that in any event the Trustee shall not be required to mail such notice until 10 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives notice of such Default as described in Section 7.01(a) hereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers determines that withholding notice is in the best interests of the Holders of the Securities.
Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.
If required by TIA § 313(a), within 60 days after each January 31 beginning with the January 31 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as the Securities remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b).  The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c) and TIA § 313(d)
Reports pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be transmitted by mail:
(1) to all Holders of Securities, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Registrar’s books;
(2) to such Holders of Securities as have, within the two years preceding such transmission, filed their names and addresses with the Trustee for that purpose; and
(3) with respect to reports required by TIA §313(a), to all Holders of Securities whose names and addresses have been furnished to or received by the Trustee pursuant to TIA §312.
A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d).  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.
Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.
The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.07, the Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its willful misconduct or gross negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which a Responsible Officer has received notice and for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company has been materially prejudiced by such failure. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on particular Securities.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.
Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.
A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.
The Trustee may resign in writing at any time by notifying the Company in writing at least 10 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:
(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;
(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

 There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every respect.  The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in the most recent applicable published annual report of condition.  The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.
Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
The Trustee is subject to and shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.
ARTICLE 8.
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE
Section 8.01 Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance.
(a) This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Securities when:

(ii) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and
(iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied or waived.
(b) Subject to Section 8.01(c), the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (“Legal Defeasance”) or (ii) its obligations under Article 10, Sections 4.03, 4.10, 4.11 and Sections 6.01(f), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only) and 6.01(h) (“Covenant Defeasance”). The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option.
If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its Covenant Defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e) (with respect to all obligations described in Sections 4.03, 4.10 and 4.11), 6.01(f), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only) or 6.01(h).
Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.
(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 7.07, 7.08 and in this Article 8 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.
Section 8.02 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.
In order to exercise either its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option:
(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit in trust (the “Defeasance Trust”) with the Trustee or Paying Agent, as applicable, U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in each case, in such amounts as will be sufficient, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on the outstanding Securities to the applicable Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be (provided that, with respect to any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is so deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent, as applicable, equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit on the Redemption Date only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date);
(b) in the case of an exercise of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States to the effect that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date this Indenture was first executed, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal  income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance Trust and Legal Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Defeasance Trust and Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(c) in the case of an exercise of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States to the effect that the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance Trust and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Defeasance Trust and Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; and
(d) the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, shall not result in or constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture.
Section 8.03 Deposited U.S. Dollars and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust.
Subject to Section 8.04 hereof, all U.S. dollars and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Article 8 shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or any Subsidiary acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such discharged or defeased Securities, as the case may be, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Section 8.04 Repayment to Company.
Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.02 hereof which in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article 8.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on or interest on any Securities and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Securities shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.
Section 8.05 Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations.
The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Article 8 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities so discharged or defeased.
Section 8.06 Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on or interest on any such Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 9.
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER
Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Securities.
The Company and the Trustee at any time and from time to time may amend this Indenture or enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto without the consent of any Holder of a Security for any of the following purposes:
(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;
(2) to provide for the assumption by a Successor Company of the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities;
(3) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities (provided that the uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);
(4) to add any additional Events of Default with respect to the Securities;
(5) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance or discharge of the Securities pursuant to Article 8; provided, however, that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities;
(6) to add Guarantees with respect to the Securities or to secure the Securities;
(7) to add to the covenants of the Company or a Subsidiary for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities or to surrender any right or power herein conferred on the Company or any Subsidiary;
(8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities and to 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;
(9) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of Securities;
(10) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Securities to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Securities;
(11) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or
(12) to provide for the issuance of Additional Securities in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture.
Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b) hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail, or deliver electronically if held by any depositary in accordance with such depositary’s customary procedures, to the Holders of Securities a notice briefly describing such amendment. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not in any way impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Securities.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof and except as otherwise provided below in this Section 9.02, any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on, interest the Securities, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provisions of this Indenture or the Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities).
Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Securities as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b) hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
The consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.02 is not necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture or the Securities by any Holder given in connection with a tender or exchange of such Holder’s Securities will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange.
After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail, or deliver electronically if held by any depositary in accordance with such depositary’s customary procedures, to the Holders of Securities a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, any failure of the Company to give such notice to all Holders of the Securities, or any defect therein, shall will impair or affect the validity of the amendment.
For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of any of the covenants described in Sections 4.03, 4.10 or 4.11 or Article 5, or action taken in compliance with the covenants in effect at the time of such action, shall be deemed to amend the right of any Holder of the Securities to bring suit for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on its Securities.
Notwithstanding anything provided herein or otherwise, without the consent of Holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities), an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not, with respect to any Security held by a non-consenting Holder:
(1) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Securities the Holders of which must consent to an amendment or waiver;
(2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Security;
(3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Security;
(4) reduce the amount payable upon the redemption of any Security or change the time at which any Security may be redeemed as described under Paragraph 5 of the Securities set forth on Exhibit A and (solely as it may relate to a redemption of the type described under Paragraph 5 of the Securities as set forth on Exhibit A) Article 3 above; provided that the notice period for redemption may be reduced to not less than three (3) Business Days with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding if a notice of redemption has not prior thereto been sent to such Holders;
(5) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security;
(6) amend the right of any Holder of the Securities to bring suit for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on its Securities, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Securities; or
(7) make any change in the ranking or priority of any Security that would adversely affect the Holders of the Securities.
Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise (but subject to the immediately following paragraph), the provisions under this Indenture relative to the Company’s obligation to make any offer to repurchase the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event pursuant to Article 10 hereof may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities.
To the extent that the TIA applies to this Indenture or any Securities, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary provided in this Indenture, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, 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.
Section 9.03 Compliance with TIA.
Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect, to the extent that the TIA applies to this Indenture or any Securities.
Section 9.04 Effect of Consents.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Security and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

(f) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event.

U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,
 as Trustee

By: 
 Authorized Signatory


4⅝% Senior Notes Due 2025

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. Interest.
PVH Corp., a Delaware corporation (herein the “Company”, which term includes any Successor Company under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. the principal sum of $________  on July 10, 2025, and to pay interest thereon from                    or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually at a fixed rate, on January 10 and July 10 in each year, commencing                , and at the Stated Maturity thereof, at the rate of 4⅝% per annum, subject to any adjustment described hereafter in this Section 1, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the rate borne by the Securities on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue installment of interest from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
The interest rate payable on the Securities will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P, or, in either case, any substitute Rating Agency, downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the Securities as described hereafter in this Section 1:
(a) If the rating from Moody’s (or any substitute Rating Agency) of the Securities is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Securities will increase such that it will equal the interest rate payable on the Securities on the Issue Date plus the percentage set forth opposite the ratings from the table below, plus any applicable percentage from the immediately following paragraph (b) that is then in effect:
Moody’s Rating*
Percentage
Ba1
0.250%
Ba2
0.500%
Ba3
0.750%
B1 or below
1.000%
* Including the equivalent ratings in the case of any substitute Rating Agency or in the case of any successor rating category of Moody’s.
(b) If the rating from S&P (or any substitute Rating Agency) of the Securities is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Securities will increase such that it will equal the interest rate payable on the Securities on the Issue Date plus the percentage set forth opposite the ratings from the table below, plus any applicable percentage from the immediately preceding paragraph (a) that is then in effect:
S&P Rating*
Percentage
BB+
0.250%
BB
0.500%
BB-
0.750%
B+ or below
1.000%
* Including the equivalent ratings in the case of any substitute Rating Agency or in the case of any successor rating category of S&P.
(c) If at any time the interest rate on the Securities has been adjusted upward and either Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case, a substitute Rating Agency), as the case may be, subsequently increases its rating of the Securities to any of the threshold ratings set forth above, the interest rate on the Securities will be decreased such that the interest rate for the Securities will equal the interest rate payable on the Securities on the Issue Date plus the percentages set forth opposite the ratings from the tables set forth above in paragraphs (a) and (b). If Moody’s (or any substitute Rating Agency) subsequently increases its rating of the Securities to Baa3 (or its equivalent, in the case of a substitute Rating Agency) or higher, and S&P (or any substitute Rating Agency thereof) increases its rating to BBB- (or its equivalent, in the case of a substitute Rating Agency) or higher, the interest rate on the Securities will be decreased to the interest rate payable on the Securities on the Issue Date.
(d) The interest rate on the Securities will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both Rating Agencies) if the Securities (on the date of issuance) are or (at any time after the date of issuance) become rated Baa1 and BBB+ (or the equivalent of either such rating, in the case of a substitute Rating Agency) or higher by each of Moody’s and S&P (or, in either case, a substitute Rating Agency thereof), respectively (or by one rating agency in the event the Securities are only rated by one Rating Agency and the Company has not obtained ratings from a substitute Rating Agency).
(e) Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case, a substitute Rating Agency), shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments; provided, however, that in no event shall (1) the interest rate for the Securities be reduced to below the interest rate payable on the Securities on the Issue Date or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the Securities exceed 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Securities on the Issue Date.
(f) No adjustments in the interest rate of the Securities shall be made solely as a result of a Rating Agency ceasing to provide a rating of the Securities.  If at any time Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating of the Securities for any reason, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a rating of the Securities from a substitute Rating Agency, to the extent one exists, and if a substitute Rating Agency exists, for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest rate on the Securities pursuant to the tables above, (a) such substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the last Rating Agency to provide a rating of the Securities but which has since ceased to provide such rating, (b) the relative rating scale used by such substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt will be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the applicable table above with respect to such substitute Rating Agency, such ratings will be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by Moody’s or S&P, as applicable, in such table and (c) the interest rate on the Securities will increase or decrease, as the case may be, such that the interest rate equals the interest rate payable on the Securities on the Issue Date plus the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the rating from such substitute Rating Agency in the applicable table above (taking into account the provisions of clause (b) in this Section 1(f)) (plus any applicable percentage resulting from a decreased rating by the other Rating Agency).
(g) For so long as only one of Moody’s or S&P provides a rating of the Securities and no substitute Rating Agency is offered to replace the other Rating Agency, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the Securities necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency providing the rating will be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable tables above. For so long as none of Moody’s, S&P or a substitute Rating Agency provides a rating of the Securities, the interest rate on the Securities will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Securities on the Issue Date, as the case may be.
(h) Any interest rate increase or decrease described in this section 4.05 will take effect from the first Interest Payment Date occurring immediately after the date on which a rating change occurs that requires an adjustment in the interest rate.  As such, interest will not accrue at such increased or decreased rate until the first Interest Payment Date occurring immediately after the date on which the rating change occurs. If Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case, any substitute Rating Agency) changes its rating of the Securities more than once during the period between any two Interest Payment Dates, the last such change by such Rating Agency prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date will control for purposes of any interest rate increase or decrease with respect to the Securities described above relating to such Rating Agency’s action.  If the interest rate payable on the Securities is increased as described above, the term “interest,” as used with respect to the Securities, will be deemed to include any additional interest described in this Section 1 unless the context otherwise requires.
(i) The interest rate and the amount of interest payable on the Securities will be determined and calculated by the Company. Accordingly, the Trustee shall not be responsible for making such determination or calculation or for monitoring the rating of the Securities. The Company must deliver prompt notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) upon becoming aware of any change in rating requiring the adjustments to the interest rate as described in this Section 1.
2. Method of Payment.
The Company will pay interest on the Securities on each January 10 and July 10 to the Persons who are registered Holders of the relevant Securities at the close of business on the December 26 or June 25 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such applicable Regular Record Date and on or before such applicable Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Indenture with respect to Defaulted Interest.
3. Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar.
Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent or the Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Securities. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar in respect of the Securities.
4. Indenture.
This Security is one of a duly authorized Securities of the Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of July 10, 2020 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties 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 unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
5. Optional Redemption.
Prior to June 10, 2025 (1 month prior to the maturity date for the Securities) (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Securities in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to confirm or verify the Applicable Premium.

In addition, on or after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Securities in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
If the Redemption Date is on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Securities subject to redemption will be paid on the Redemption Date to the Person in whose name the Security is registered at the close of business, on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Securities will be subject to redemption by the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Securities, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in such tender offer and the Company, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 days’ but not more than 60 days’ notice mailed, or delivered electronically if the Securities are held by any Depositary, by the Company to each Holder of Securities, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem or purchase, as applicable, all Securities that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to each other Holder in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but not including, the redemption or purchase date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

6. Registration Rights Agreement.

The Securities will initially be represented by one or more Global Securities. The Global Securities shall be deposited, on the Issue Date, with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee.  So long as the Depositary, or its nominee, is the registered Holder of this Global Security, the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and Holder of the Securities represented by this Global Security for purposes of receiving payment on such Securities, receiving notices and for all purposes.
Each Global Security is exchangeable for Definitive Securities only if (1) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue  as depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Company fails within 90 days thereafter to appoint a successor, (2) if the Company, in its sole discretion determines that such Global Security shall be exchangeable or (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by the Global Securities . In such an event, the Company will issue, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Definitive Securities, will authenticate and deliver, Definitive Securities in exchange for such Global Security. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security will be entitled to Definitive Securities equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Securities registered in its name. Securities so issued in certificated form will be issued in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, and such Definitive Securities will bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.08 of the Indenture, unless that legend is not required by applicable law.
The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Holder requesting such transfer or exchange (other than any exchange of a temporary Security for a permanent Security not involving any change in ownership or any exchange pursuant to Section 2.12 or 9.05 of the Indenture, not involving any transfer).
Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents.
8. Persons Deemed Owners.
The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as its owner for all purposes.
9. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and the Trustee may amend the Indenture or the Securities with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Indenture and except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02 of the Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on, interest on the Securities, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provisions of the Indenture or the Securities may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities).
10. Defaults and Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable.  Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (g) of Section 6.01 of the Indenture occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest on all the Securities will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders of the Securities.
11. Trustee Dealings with Company.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee; provided, however, if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as defined in the TIA, it must either eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee must also comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Indenture.
12. No Recourse Against Others.
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Subsidiary will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.
13. Governing Law.
THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
14. Authentication.
This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee.
15. Abbreviations.
Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
16. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc.
The Company has caused CUSIP numbers, ISINs and/or other identifying numbers to be printed on the Securities. The Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and/or other identifying numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.
The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

SECTION 2. HOLDERS
A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each, a “Holder”) whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.
SECTION 3. REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER
(a) To the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the staff of the Commission, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective no later than 270 days after the Settlement Date (or if such 270th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), (ii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause it to become effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and (C) cause all necessary filings, if any, in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iii) unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, commence and Consummate the Exchange Offer.  The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Initial Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c) below.
(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective until the Consummation of the Exchange Offer and to keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days.  The Company shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be commenced promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective and Consummated no later than 310 days after the Settlement Date (or if such 310th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Consummation Deadline”).
(c) The Company shall include a “Plan of Distribution” section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer.  Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the date of this Agreement.  See the Shearman & Sterling no-action letter (available July 2, 1993).
Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement; provided that such Broker-Dealer, in its reasonable judgment, determines that it is subject to such prospectus delivery requirement.  To the extent reasonably necessary to ensure that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, if requested by one or more Broker-Dealers, the Company agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days from the Consummation Deadline or such shorter period as will terminate when the Exchange Notes covered by such Registration Statement cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon reasonable request, and in no event later than two Business Days after such request, at any time during such period.
SECTION 4. SHELF REGISTRATION
(a) Shelf Registration.  If (i) the Company is not (A) required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (B) permitted to Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy or (ii) any Holder represents to the Company prior to the 20th day following Consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A) such Holder is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company, subject to the Suspension Rights set forth in Section 6(c)(i) below, shall (x) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”)), covering the resale of all Transfer Restricted Securities, and cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective no later than 180 days (or if such 180th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), after the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement will not be or cannot be, as the case may be, filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above and (ii) the date on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above, or if such 180th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, being referred to herein as the “Shelf Effectiveness Deadline”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall under no circumstances be obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of Holders who would have received freely transferable Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer had they not (A) failed to duly tender their Initial Notes for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer, or otherwise failed to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Offer as provided in Section 3 hereof or (B) failed to furnish to the Company such information as the Company may request in accordance with Section 4(b) in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement
If, after the Company has filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above, the Company is required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i)(B) above), then the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Company shall remain obligated to meet the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline.
To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(b) and 6(c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least one year (as extended pursuant to Section 6(c)(i) or 6(d)) following the Settlement Date, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto or are no longer Transfer Restricted Securities.

(b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement.  No Holder may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 15 days after receipt of a request therefor, the information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, of the Act, or other information reasonably requested by the Company and required by Regulation S-K of the Act, for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein.  No Holder shall be entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until (and from and after such time) such Holder shall have provided all such information.  Each selling Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading and shall promptly supply such other information as the Company may from time to time reasonably request.
SECTION 5. ADDITIONAL INTEREST
Subject to Section 4(b) and the Suspension Rights referred to in Section 6(c)(i) below, if (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement required by this Agreement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to Effectiveness Deadline or the Shelf Registration Statement (if required pursuant to Section 4 hereof) has not become effective on or prior to the Shelf Effectiveness Deadline, (ii) the Exchange Offer, if permitted, has not been Consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline, or (iii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fail to be usable prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer (unless such lack of effectiveness is cured on or prior to the Consummation Deadline) or (iv) the Shelf Registration Statement (if required pursuant to Section 4 hereof) is filed and becomes effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fails to be useable in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities for a period of time that exceeds 120 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period during the required effectiveness period under this Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), then the Company hereby agrees to pay to each Holder affected thereby additional interest (“Additional Interest”) in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default.  The amount of the Additional Interest shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of Additional Interest of 0.50% per annum; provided that (a) the Company shall in no event be required to pay Additional Interest for more than one Registration Default at any given time and (b) a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities who is not entitled to the benefits of a Shelf Registration Statement shall not be entitled to Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default relating to such Shelf Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, a Registration Default ends (and the Additional Interest payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv), as applicable, shall cease) when the Transfer Restricted Securities cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities or, if earlier, (1) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of clause (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of clause (ii) above, (3) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of clause (iii) above, or (4) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable in the case of clause (iv) above. All accrued Additional Interest shall be paid by the Company (or the Company will cause the Paying Agent to make such payment on its behalf) to the Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date following the date of such Registration Default, as more fully set forth in the Indenture, the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes.  The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest was applicable during such period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year composed of 12 30-day months, but it being understood that if the regular interest payment date of the Transfer Restricted Securities is not a Business Day and the payment is made on the next succeeding Business Day, no further interest will accrue as a result of such delay), and the denominator of which is 360. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which Additional Interest are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of the Company to pay Additional Interest with respect to securities that accrued prior to the time that such securities ceased to be Transfer Restricted Securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full.
SECTION 6. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
(a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement.  In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (x) comply with all applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered in the Exchange Offer Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of its market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and (z) comply with all of the following provisions:
(i)
If, following the date hereof there has been announced a change in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the Exchange Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company hereby agrees either to (x) seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities, or (y) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act, in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof, to permit the registration and/or resale of the Transfer Restricted Securities that would otherwise be covered by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement but for the announcement of a change in Commission policy.  In the case of clause (x) above, the Company hereby agrees to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level but shall not be required to take action not commercially reasonable to affect a change of Commission policy.  In connection with the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees to take all such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Commission or otherwise required in connection with the issuance of such decision, including without limitation (A) participating in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) delivering to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted, and (C) diligently pursuing a resolution (which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff.
(ii)
As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder (including, without limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Company (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer, (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of its business, and (D) only if such Holder is a Broker-Dealer that will receive Exchange Notes in exchange for Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market making or other trading activities, it will deliver a Prospectus (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, make available a Prospectus to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.  As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge and agree that, if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993), and similar no-action letters (including, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), , and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K.
(iii)
Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall provide a supplemental letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company is registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993) and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above (B) including a representation that the Company has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company’s information and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer, and (C) including any other undertaking or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.
(b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall:
(i)
comply with all applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below and use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be available for the resale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof within the time periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof, and
(ii) issue to any Holder or purchaser of Initial Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, upon the reasonable request of any such Holder or purchaser, registered Initial Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes in the names as such Holder or purchaser shall designate.
(c) General Provisions.  In connection with any Registration Statement and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company shall:
(i)
use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide or incorporate by reference all requisite financial statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable.  Upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus contained therein (A) to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement curing such defect, and, if Commission review is required, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may allow the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, at any time after Consummation of the Exchange Offer (if otherwise required to keep it effective), or the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus to cease to remain effective and usable or may delay the filing or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement if not then filed or effective, as applicable (“Suspension Rights”), for one or more periods of up to 120 days in aggregate in any twelve month period if (x) the Board (or a duly-appointed committee of the Board having power over the subject matter) determines in good faith that it is in the best interests of the Company not to disclose the existence of or facts surrounding any proposed or pending material corporate transaction involving the Company, and the Company provides reasonably prompt notification to the Holders after the Board (or such duly-appointed committee of the Board) makes such determination, or (y) the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, contains an untrue statement of the material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the 180-day period referred to in Section 3(c) during which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is required to be effective and usable or the one-year period referred to in Section 4(a) hereof during which the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be effective and usable shall be extended by the number of days during which such Registration Statement was not effective or usable pursuant to the foregoing provisions (which such extension shall be the Holders’ sole remedy for the exercise by the Company of the Suspension Rights during the time period permitted hereunder, but only to the extent that any suspension period does not violate the 120-day period set forth above).
(ii)
subject to the Suspension Rights set forth in Section 6(c)(i) above, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A, and 462, as applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;
(iii)
notify (a) each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement), and (b) each Holder who has provided notice to the Company pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) promptly and, if reasonably requested by such Holder, confirm such notification in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any applicable Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, and (D) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in order that the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein do not contain an untrue statement of material fact nor omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.  If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;
(iv)
subject to Section 6(d) and the Suspension Rights set forth in Section 6(c)(i) above, if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(v)
furnish to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) in connection with such exchange, registration or sale of Transfer Restricted Securities, if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any such Shelf Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such Holders in connection with such sale, if any, for a reasonable period of time prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, and the Company will not file any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus to which such Holders shall reasonably object within three Business Days after the receipt thereof;
(vi)
make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents of the Company reasonably requested by any such Holder and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by any such Holder, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness; provided that any Holder or representative thereof requesting or receiving such information shall agree to be bound by reasonable confidentiality agreements and procedures with respect thereto;
(vii)
if reasonably requested by any Holders whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) in connection with such exchange, registration or sale, promptly include in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information with respect to any such Holder as such Holder may reasonably request to have included therein and to which the Company does not reasonably object, including, without limitation, information relating to the “Plan of Distribution” of the Transfer Restricted Securities and the use of the Registration Statement or Prospectus for market making activities; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;
(viii)
furnish to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) in connection with such exchange, registration or sale, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference) (it being understood and agreed that the filing of any such Shelf Registration Statement or post-effective amendment thereto on the Commission’s EDGAR system shall satisfy the requirement of this clause (viii);
(ix)
deliver to each Holder whose Transfer Restricted Securities have been included in a Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holders reasonably may request; the Company hereby consents to the use (in accordance with applicable law and subject to Section 6(d) hereof and any Suspension Rights) of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder in connection with the offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;

(x)
enter into such customary agreements (including, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, an underwriting agreement), and take all such other appropriate actions in connection therewith in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, all to such extent as may be customarily and reasonably requested by the Initial Purchasers or, in the case of registration for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, by any Holder or Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who hold a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities being registered under such Shelf Registration Statement; provided that, the Company shall not be required to enter into any such agreement more than once with respect to all of the Transfer Restricted Securities and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, may delay entering into such agreement if the Board (or a duly-appointed committee of the Board having power over the subject matter) determines in good faith that it is in the best interests of the Company not to disclose the existence of or facts surrounding any proposed or pending material corporate transaction involving the Company.  In such connection, the Company shall:

(A)
upon the request of any Holder, furnish (or in the case of paragraphs (2) and (3), use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be furnished) to each such Holder (in the case of the Shelf Registration Statement) and any underwriter, upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be:

(1)
a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of the Company by an authorized officer of the Company, confirming, as of the date thereof, such matters as such Holders may reasonably request;
(2)
an opinion, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, of counsel for the Company in customary form, and in any event including a statement to the effect that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company and representatives of the underwriters, if any, and their counsel at which the contents of the Registration Statement and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel need not pass upon or assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements (relying as to materiality to the extent such counsel deems appropriate upon the statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and without independent check or verification), no facts came to such counsel’s attention that caused such counsel to believe that the applicable Registration Statement, at the time such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became effective and, in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as of the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as of its date and, in the case of the opinion dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  Such counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no responsibility for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the related Prospectus and need express no view as to the accounting or financial records from which such financial statements, schedules and data are derived; and
(3)
a customary comfort letter, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, or as of the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, from the Company’s independent accountants, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with underwritten offerings, and affirming the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 7(j) of the Purchase Agreement; and
(B)
deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the selling Holders to evidence compliance with the matters covered in clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in any agreement entered into by the Company pursuant to this clause (xi);
(xi)
prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders may reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject;
(xii)
in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and to register such Transfer Restricted Securities in such denominations and such names as the selling Holders may reasonably request at least two Business Days prior to such sale of Transfer Restricted Securities;
(xiii)
provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement covering such Transfer Restricted Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with printed certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with the Depository Trust Company;
(xiv)
otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and, to the extent applicable to the Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration Statement, make generally available to its security holders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, as soon as reasonably practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 under the Act (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act);
(xv)
cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement and, in connection therewith, reasonably cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; and
(xvi)
provide promptly to each Holder, upon request, each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if such documents are not available via EDGAR.
(d) Restrictions on Holders.  Each Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in Section 6(c)(i) or 6(c)(iii)(C) or any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof (in each case, a “Suspension Notice”), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until (i) such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed (in each case, the “Recommencement Date”).  Each Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it will either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession which have been replaced by the Company with more recently dated Prospectuses, or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice.  The time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days in the period from and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice to the Recommencement Date.
SECTION 7. REGISTRATION EXPENSES
(a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether a Registration Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements for one counsel for all of the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities selected by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being registered; and (v) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be responsible for any fees and expenses of underwriters’ counsel or for any underwriting discounts or commissions, brokerage commissions, fees or transfer taxes attributable to the sale or other disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities by a Holder.
The Company will, in any event, bear its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company.
(b) In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement for the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Shelf Registration Statement is being prepared.
SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, and any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any lawsuit, claim or other proceeding caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is based upon information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any of the Holders.
(b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and their respective directors and officers and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company set forth in section (a) above, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus.  In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the sum of: (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities plus (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
(c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the “indemnified party”), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Holder).  Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party has been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and would likely result in a conflict of interest for such counsel to represent both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party).  In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  Such firm shall be designated in writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of any action effected with (i) its written consent, or (ii) effected without its written consent if the settlement is entered into more than 20 Business Days after the indemnifying party received a request from the indemnified party for reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees and expenses are at the expense of the indemnifying party) and, prior to the date of such settlement, the indemnifying party has failed to comply with such reimbursement request.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action in respect of which the indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution may be or could have been sought hereunder by the indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability on claims that are or could have been the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.
(d) To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from their sale of Transfer Restricted Securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or by the Holder, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c) hereof, any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.
The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the sum of: (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities plus (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Holders’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by each Holder hereunder and not joint.
SECTION 9. RULE 144A AND RULE 144
The Company agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company (i) is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to use commercially reasonable efforts to make available, upon reasonable request of any Holder, to such Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities designated by such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act, and (ii) is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to use commercially reasonable efforts to make all filings required thereby in a timely manner in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144.
