SECTION 2.03.  Execution and Authentication.  Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the

11

Trustee in accordance with such written order of the Company shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Securities.  Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA applicable to paying agents.  The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent.  If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such, to the extent that it is lawful to so act, and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.

So long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of such Exchange so require, the Company will maintain a Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent to serve as Paying Agent and Registrar in Luxembourg.  If the Securities are listed on any other securities exchange, the Company will satisfy any requirement at such securities exchange as to paying agents.  So long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, any change in the Paying Agent or Registrar shall be notified to Holders of Securities by publication of notices to the Holders of the Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 of this Indenture.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent and The Bank of New York (Luxembourg) S.A. as Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent in connection with the Securities.

SECTION 2.05.  Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.  At least one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal and interest on any Security, the

12

Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due.  The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment.  If the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund.  The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent.  Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.06.  Securityholder 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 Securityholders.  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders.

SECTION 2.07.  Replacement Securities.  If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that such Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s request, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, and bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on such Security, if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar and the Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced.  In every case of destruction, loss or theft of a Security, the applicant for a substitute Security shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.  The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed and any other fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in replacing the Security.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.

SECTION 2.08.  Outstanding Securities.  Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding.  A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

13

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09.  Temporary Securities.  Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities.  Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities.

SECTION 2.10.  Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer 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 and dispose of (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its current practice unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver cancelled Securities to the Company.  The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.11.  Defaulted Interest.  If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner.  The Company may pay the defaulted interest (i) to the persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date or (ii) to persons who are Securityholders in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the rules of any applicable securities exchange if deemed practicable by the Trustee.  The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date (which special record date shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the payment date) and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail to each Securityholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.12.  CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the “CUSIP” number that appears on any Security, check, advice of payment or redemption notice, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the

14

correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a 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.

SECTION 2.13.  Delisting.  The European Commission has adopted a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council (2003/0045 (COD), the “Transparency Directive”) on the harmonization of transparency requirements relating to financial information of issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Union, such as the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.  If the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Transparency Directive is adopted in a form that would require the Company to publish its financial statements either more regularly than the Company would otherwise be required to or according to accounting principles that are materially different from the accounting principles the Company would otherwise use to prepare its published financial information or that would otherwise impose requirements on it that it in good faith determines are unduly burdensome, it may de-list the Securities from the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in accordance with the rules of such exchange.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation for the Securities on a different section of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or by another listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system inside or outside the European Union, as it may decide.  If such an alternative admission is not available to the Company or is, in the Company’s reasonable opinion, unduly burdensome, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide not to obtain an alternative admission to listing the Securities.  Notice of any de-listing and/or alternative admission will be given in accordance with Section 10.02.

ARTICLE III

Redemption

SECTION 3.01.  Notices to Trustee.  If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and that such redemption is being made pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities.

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section at least 45 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period.  Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

SECTION 3.02.  Selection of Securities To Be Redeemed.  If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by a method that complies with applicable legal and securities exchange requirements, if any, and that the Trustee considers fair and

15

appropriate and in accordance with methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar circumstances.  The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption.  The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $100,000.  Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $100,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.03.  Notice of Redemption.  At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.

The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

(1)  the redemption date;

(2)  the redemption price or the information specified in paragraph 7 of the Securities;

(3)  the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(4)  that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(5)  if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

(6)  that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; and

(7)  that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense.  In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section at least 45 days, but not earlier than 60 days, before the redemption date.

The Company shall publish such notices in a leading newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg, which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort, for so long as the notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require.

SECTION 3.04.  Effect of Notice of Redemption.  Once notice of redemption is mailed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Company of any

16

conditions precedent to such redemption set forth in the notice, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of redemption).  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 the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of redemption) on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 3.06.  Securities Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

ARTICLE IV

Covenants

SECTION 4.01.  Termination of Specified Covenants.  If the Company shall have attained Investment Grade Status, and notwithstanding that the Company may later cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from any of the Rating Agencies, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be released from their obligations to comply with the restrictive covenants set forth in this Article IV, except for the covenants set forth in Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.07, 4.08 and 4.09.

SECTION 4.02.  Payment of Securities.  The Company shall promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and in this Indenture.  Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due.

SECTION 4.03.  Limitation on Liens. (a)    The Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, issue, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness or

17

Guarantee, if such Indebtedness or Guarantee is secured by a Lien upon any Specified Property, unless, concurrently with the issuance or assumption of such Indebtedness or Guarantee or the creation of such Lien, the Securities shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Indebtedness or Guarantee; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to:

(1)  any Lien on (A) any Specified Property acquired, constructed, developed, extended or improved by the Company or any Subsidiary (singly or together with other Persons) after the date of the Indenture or any property reasonably incidental to the use or operation of such Specified Property (including any real property on which such Specified Property is located), or (B) any shares or other ownership interest in, or any Indebtedness of, any Person which holds, owns or is entitled to such property, products, revenue or profits, in each of cases (A) and (B), to the extent such Lien is created, incurred or assumed (x) during the period such Specified Property was being constructed, developed, extended or improved, or (y) contemporaneously with, or within 360 days after, such acquisition or the completion of such construction, development, extension or improvement in order to secure or provide for the payment of all or any part of the purchase price or other consideration of such Specified Property or the other costs of such acquisition, construction, development, extension or improvement (including costs such as escalation, interest during construction and financing and refinancing costs);

(2)  any Lien on any Specified Property existing at the time of acquisition thereof and which (a) is not created as a result of or in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition and (b) does not attach to any other Specified Property other than the Specified Property so acquired;

(3)  any Lien on any Specified Property acquired from a Person which is merged with or into the Company or any Subsidiary or any Lien existing on Specified Property of any Person at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary, in either such case which (a) is not created as a result of or in connection with or in anticipation of any such transaction and (b) does not attach to any other Specified Property other than the Specified Property so acquired;

(4)  any Lien which secures Indebtedness or a Guarantee owing by a Subsidiary to the Company or any other Subsidiary;

(6)  any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part, of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) through (5) inclusive; provided that the principal amount of Indebtedness or Guarantee secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Indebtedness or Guarantee so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, plus an amount necessary to pay any fees and expenses, including premiums and defeasance costs related to such transaction, and that such

18

extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property which secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such property).

(b)  Notwithstanding Section 4.03(a), the Company or any Subsidiary may issue or assume Indebtedness or a Guarantee secured by a Lien which would otherwise be prohibited under Section 4.03(a) or enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions that would otherwise be prohibited by Section 4.04, provided that the amount of such Indebtedness or Guarantee or the Attributable Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, as the case may be, together with the aggregate amount (without duplication) of (x) Indebtedness or Guarantees outstanding at such time, that was previously incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) by the Company and its Subsidiaries, plus (y) the Attributable Value of all such Sale and Leaseback Transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding at such time that were previously incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) shall not exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time any such Indebtedness or Guarantee is issued or assumed by the Company or any Subsidiary or at the time any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into.

(c)  For the avoidance of doubt, the sale or other transfer of (i) any minerals in place for a period of time until, or in an amount such that the purchaser will realize therefrom a specified amount of money (however determined) or a specified amount of such minerals or (ii) any other interest in property of the character commonly referred to as a “production payment”, shall not constitute the incurrence of Indebtedness or a Guarantee secured by a Lien.

SECTION 4.04.  Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.  For so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary may enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Specified Property, unless either (x) the Company or such Subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to Section 4.03 to issue or assume Indebtedness or a Guarantee (in an amount equal to the Attributable Value with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transactions) secured by a Lien on such Specified Property without equally and ratably securing the Securities, (y) the Company or such Subsidiary shall apply or cause to be applied, in the case of a sale or transfer for cash, an amount equal to 85% of the net proceeds thereof and, in the case of a sale or transfer otherwise than for cash, an amount equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the Specified Property so leased, (A) to the retirement, within 360 days after the effective date of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, of (i) Indebtedness of the Company ranking at least on a parity with the Securities or (ii) Indebtedness of any Subsidiary of the Company, in each case owing to a Person other than the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or (B) to the acquisition, purchase, construction, development, extension or improvement of any property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary used or to be used by or for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business or (z) the Company or such Subsidiary equally and ratably secures the Securities.  None of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.04 shall apply to any transactions providing for a lease for a term of not more than three years.

19

SECTION 4.05.  Limitation on Subsidiary Indebtedness.  (a)    The Company shall not permit any Subsidiary to, incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness or Guarantees (other than Permitted Indebtedness).

(b)  The maximum amount of Indebtedness that Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

SECTION 4.06.  Change of Control Triggering Event.  (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, each Holder of Securities shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the 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).

(b)  Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall (i) cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent at least once to the Dow Jones News Service or similar business news service in the United States and (ii) send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Securities, at such Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register, a notice stating:  (A) that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.06 and that all Securities timely tendered will be accepted for payment; (B) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); (C) that any Security (or portion thereof) accepted for payment (and duly paid on the Change of Control Payment Date) pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (D) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control Triggering Event; and (E) the procedures that Holders of Securities must follow in order to tender their Securities (or portions thereof) for payment and the procedures that Holders of Securities must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Securities (or portions thereof) for payment.

The Company shall publish such notices in a leading newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg, which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort, for so long as the notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require.

(c)  Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company or its agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.  Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the

20

name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security that was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Security purchased.

(d)  On or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) in cash an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price payable to the Holders entitled thereto, to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06.  On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee the Securities or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company for payment.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, on the Change of Control Payment Date, mail or deliver payment to each tendering Holder of the Change of Control Purchase Price.  In the event that the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price is less than the amount delivered by the Company to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(e)  The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(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 purchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.06.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.06 by virtue thereof.

SECTION 4.07.  SEC Reports.  (a)  The Company shall provide the Trustee with the following:

(i)  within 30 days after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such sections, then to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in respect of a security listed and registered on a

21

national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations; and

(ii)  in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants provided for in the Indenture, as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations.

The Trustee shall upon request forward to each registered Securityholder the reports received by the Trustee under this Section 4.07.

(b)  Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

(c)  Any document referred to in this Section 4.07 that is filed with the Commission via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (EDGAR) and publicly available without charge shall be deemed to have been provided to the Trustee at the time of such filing.

SECTION 4.08.  Rule 144A Information.  The Company shall take all action necessary to provide information to permit resales of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, including furnishing to any Holder of a Security or beneficial interest in a Global Security, or to any prospective purchaser designated by such Holder, upon request of such Holder, financial and other information required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) (as amended from time to time and including any successor provision) unless, at the time of such request, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or is exempt from such requirements pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act (as amended from time to time and including any successor provision).

SECTION 4.09.  Further Instruments and Acts.  Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out the purpose of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.10.  Statement as to Compliance.  As promptly as practicable after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2006, and in any event prior to July 15 in each year, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate, from its principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signer thereof the Company is in compliance (without regard to periods of grace or notice requirements) with all conditions and covenants under this

22

Indenture, and if the Company shall not be in compliance, specifying such non-compliance and the nature and status thereof of which such signer may have knowledge.

SECTION 4.11.  Corporate Existence.  Subject to Article V hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(a)  its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and

(b)  the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities.

ARTICLE V

Successor Company

SECTION 5.01.  When Company May Merge or Transfer Assets.  (a)  For so long as any Securities are outstanding, the Company may not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

(i)  the successor Person (the “Surviving Person”) shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof or the District of Columbia) and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the outstanding Securities and the performance of every covenant in this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

(ii)  immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing; and

(iii)  the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this Section 5.01 relating to such transaction.

(b)  In case of any consolidation, merger conveyance or transfer (other than a lease) that complies with Section 5.01(a), the Surviving Person will succeed to and

23

be substituted for the Company as obligor on the Securities, with the same effect as if it had been named in this Indenture as such obligor.

(c)  For purposes of Section 5.01(a), the conveyance or transfer of all the property of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company which property, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all the property of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all the property of the Company.

ARTICLE VI

Defaults and Remedies

SECTION 6.01.  Events of Default.  The following events shall be “Events of Default”:

(1)  the Company defaults in any payment of interest on any Security when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(3)  the Company fails to comply with any covenant or agreement in the Securities or in this Indenture (other than a failure that is the subject of the foregoing clause (1) or (2)) and such failure continues for 60 days after written notice is given to the Company as specified below;

(4)  the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall fail to pay when due (whether at maturity, upon redemption or acceleration or otherwise) the principal of any Indebtedness in excess, individually or in the aggregate of US$50.0 million (or the equivalent thereof in other currencies), if such failure shall continue for more than the period of grace, if any, applicable thereto and the period for payment has not been expressly extended;

(5)  a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction shall have been entered adjudging the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries as bankrupt or insolvent under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization or quiebra of or by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged or unstayed for a period of 120 days; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or conciliador or for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 120 days; provided, however, that any Significant Subsidiary may be liquidated or dissolved if,

24

pursuant to such liquidation or dissolution, all or substantially all of its assets are transferred to the Company or another Significant Subsidiary of the Company; or

(6)  the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall institute any proceeding to be adjudicated as voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or quiebra under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a Custodian or conciliador or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or its property.

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar U.S. Federal or state law or law of Peru or Mexico for the relief of debtors.  The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

A Default under clause (3) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the Company (and in the case of such notice by Holders, the Company and the Trustee) of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.  Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”.

SECTION 6.02.  Acceleration.  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued and 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.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect to the Company occurs, the maturity of all outstanding Securities shall automatically be accelerated and the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities shall, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or any Holder, become and be immediately due and payable.  The right of the Holders to give such acceleration notice shall terminate if the event giving rise to such right shall have been cured before such right is exercised. The Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written notice to the Company may annul and rescind any declaration of acceleration if all amounts then due with respect to the Securities are paid (other than amounts due solely because of such declaration) and all other defaults with respect to the Securities are cured.  No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

25

SECTION 6.03.  Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or 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 Securityholder 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.  No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.04.  Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (i) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security or (ii) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Securityholder affected.  When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 6.05.  Control by Majority.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may 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 with respect to the Securities.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.  Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable indemnification against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.06.  Limitation on Suits.  A Securityholder shall not have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Securities or for any remedy hereunder or thereunder unless:

(1)  such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2)  the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding shall have made a written request, and such Holder of or Holders shall have offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to pursue such proceeding in respect of such Event of Default as trustee; and

(3)  the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding and has not received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days

26

after such notice, request and offer.

The foregoing limitations on the pursuit of remedies by a Securityholder shall not apply to a suit individually instituted by a Holder of Securities for the enforcement of payment of the principal of, or interest on, such Security on or after the applicable due date specified in such Security. A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder.

SECTION 6.07.  Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities, or to bring 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 6.08.  Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.09.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may 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 and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.10.  Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST:  to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

THIRD:  to the Company.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section.  At least 15 days before such record date, the

27

Company shall mail to each Securityholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

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 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 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities.

SECTION 6.12.  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE VII

Trustee

SECTION 7.01.  Duties of Trustee.  (a)  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(b)  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(1)  the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2)  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 (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

28

(c)  The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(1)  this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

(2)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(3)  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 or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities.

(d)  Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

(e)  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.

(f)  Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(g)  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.

(h)  Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA and the provisions of this Article VII shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Registrar, Paying Agent and Security Custodian.

(i)  The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or an Event of Default unless (a) the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the Company or any Holder or (b) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof.

SECTION 7.02.  Rights of Trustee.  (a)    The Trustee may rely conclusively on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting 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.  The Trustee may, however, in its discretion make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost and expense of the Company and it shall not incur any liability by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

29

(b)  Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c)  The Trustee may act through agents and attorneys and shall not be responsible for the negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(d)  the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

(e)  The Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f)  The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

(g)  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 pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(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;

(i)  the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture;

(j)  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; and

(k)  the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

30

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 its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar may do the same with like rights.  However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04.  Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, priority or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05.  Notice of Defaults.   If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders.

SECTION 7.06.  Reports by Trustee to Holders.  As promptly as practicable after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 2006, and in any event prior to July 15 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of May 15 each year that complies with TIA § 313(a), if and to the extent required by such subsection.  The Trustee shall also comply with TIA § 313(b).  The Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder each item provided to it by the Company pursuant to Section 4.07.

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are listed.  The Company agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07.  Compensation and Indemnity.  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as shall have been agreed upon between the Company and the Trustee.  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 upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including reasonable costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the commercially reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.  The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, damages, claims, liability or expense (including commercially reasonable attorneys’ fees of not more than one counsel) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance and administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may

31

seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent the Company has been prejudiced by such failure to notify.  The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have not more than one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the commercially reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.  The Company need not pay for any settlement made by the Trustee without the Company’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture.  When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08.  Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(1)  the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2)  the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(3)  a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4)  the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint 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 Securityholders.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer

32

all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

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 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09.  Successor Trustee by Merger.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 7.10.  Eligibility; Disqualification.  The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a).  The Trustee shall have (or, in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company’s) most recent published annual report of condition.  The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof; 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 Company 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 shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in

33

TIA § 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

SECTION 7.12.  Appointment of Co-Trustee.

(a)  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of  any jurisdiction in which any part of the trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments necessary to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Securityholders, such title to the trust, or any part hereof, and subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.  No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 7.10 and no notice to Securityholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 7.08.

(b)  Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(i)  all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;

(ii)  no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(iii)  the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

(c)  Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VII.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct

34

of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee.  Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

(d)  Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name.  If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

ARTICLE VIII

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

SECTION 8.01.  Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance.  (a)  When (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article III and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect.  The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.

(b)  Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06 and 4.07 and the operation of Sections 6.01(4), 6.01(5) and 6.01(6) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(5) and (6), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) (“covenant defeasance option”).  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.  If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(3) (with respect to the covenants of Article IV identified in the immediately preceding paragraph), 6.01(4), 6.01(5) and 6.01(6) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries in the case of Sections 6.01(5) and 6.01(6)).

35

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 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the Securities have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07 and 8.05 shall survive.

SECTION 8.02.  Conditions to Defeasance.  The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

(1)  the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with  the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(2)  the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on all the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(3)  123 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 123-day period no Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect to the Company occurs that is continuing at the end of the period;

(4)  the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company;

(5)  the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(6)  in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Securityholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to 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 had not occurred;

(1)  to cure any ambiguity, or to cure, correct or supplement any defect;

(2)  to comply with Article V;

(3)  to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; provided, however, 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 Guarantees with respect to the Securities or to secure the Securities;

(5)  to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company;

(6)  to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with qualifying, or maintaining the qualification of, this Indenture under the TIA; or

(7)  to make any change that is deemed necessary and desirable by the Company and does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material respect.

After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.01.

SECTION 9.02.  With Consent of Holders.  The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities) or by the adoption of resolutions at a meeting of Holders of Securities by the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Securities.  However, without the consent or affirmative vote of each Securityholder affected thereby, an amendment may not:

(1)  change any installment of interest with respect to any Security or reduce the amount of interest on any Security;

38

(2)  reduce the principal amount of any Security;

(3)  reduce the amount payable upon the redemption or repurchase of any Security under Article III or Section 4.06, change the time at which any Security may be redeemed in accordance with Article III, or, at any time after a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, change the time at which any Change of Control Offer must be made or at which the Securities must be repurchased pursuant to such Change of Control Offer;

(4)  make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security;

(5)  change the required place at which payment with respect to principal or interest on any Security is payable;

(6)  impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Securities;

(7)  reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment or make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the second sentence of this Section.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

SECTION 9.03.  Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.  Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04.  Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.  A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security.  However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective.  After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder.  An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee.

39

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture.  If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

SECTION 9.05.  Notation on or Exchange of Securities.  If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver such Security to the Trustee.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return such Security to the Holder.  Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.  Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 9.06.  Trustee To Sign Amendments.  The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it.  In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

SECTION 9.07.  Payment for Consent.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

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

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

(C)  if such Definitive Securities are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(d)(i).

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

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

(v)  During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security may not be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Security.  Thereafter beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Security only in a transaction made in compliance with clause (A)(1) of the legend set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.3 and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written confirmation from the transferor to such effect.

(vi)  Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Security may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security only in a transaction made in compliance with clause (A)(2) of the legend set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.3 and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written confirmation from the transferor to such effect.

6

BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (2) IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION COMPLYING WITH RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (3) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE COMPANY SO REQUESTS) OR (4) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (B) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES.

Each Definitive Security will also bear the following additional legend:

“IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.”

(ii)  Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any Transfer Restricted Security represented by a Global Security) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act:

(A)  in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security that is a Definitive Security, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a Security that does not bear the legends set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security; and

(B)  in the case of any Transfer Restricted Security that is represented by a Global Security, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a Security that does not bear the legends set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security,

in either case, if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Initial Security).

7

(iii)  After a transfer of any Initial Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Initial Securities or Private Exchange Securities, all requirements pertaining to restricted legends on such Initial Security or such Private Exchange Security will cease to apply and an Initial Security or Private Exchange Security, as the case may be, in global form without restricted legends will be available to the transferee of the beneficial interests of such Initial Securities or Private Exchange Securities.  Upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in this paragraph, the Company will deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to issue Securities without restricted legends.

(iv)  Upon the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial Securities pursuant to which certain Holders of such Initial Securities are offered Exchange Securities in exchange for their Initial Securities, Exchange Securities in global form without the restricted legends will be available to Holders or beneficial owners that exchange such Initial Securities (or beneficial interests therein) in such Registered Exchange Offer.  Upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in this paragraph, the Company will deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to issue Securities without restricted legends.

(e)  Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Security.  At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for Definitive Securities, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Security shall be returned by the Depository to the Trustee for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee.  At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Securities Custodian for such Global Security) with respect to such Global Security, by the Trustee or the Securities Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

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

(i)  To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and Global Securities at the Registrar’s or co-registrar’s request.

(ii)  No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 3.06, 4.06 and 9.05 of this Indenture).

8

(iii)  Neither the Trustee nor any Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to register the transfer or exchange definitive notes for a period from the record date to the due date for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities or register the transfer or exchange any Securities for 15 days prior to selection for redemption through the date of redemption.

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

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

(g)  No Obligation of the Trustee.

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

(ii)  The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depository participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this

9

Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

2.4  Definitive Securities

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

(b)  Any Global Security that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Securities of authorized denominations.  Definitive Securities issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security transferred pursuant to this Section shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of US$100,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct.  Any Definitive Security delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Security shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3(c), bear the restricted securities legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto.

(c)  The registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(d)  In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.4(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Securities in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL SECURITY]

6.375% Notes due 2015

1.  Interest

(a) SOUTHERN PERU COPPER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above.  The Company will pay interest semiannually on January 27 and July 27 of each year, commencing January 27, 2006.  Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from July 27, 2005.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities plus 1% per annum, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities to the extent lawful.

(b) Special Interest.  The holder of this Security is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2005, between the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b) but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Agreement.  In the event that (i) neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission on or prior to the 120th day following the date of the original issuance of the Securities, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the 180th day following the date of the original issuance of the Securities, (iii) neither the Registered Exchange Offer has been consummated nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective on or prior to the 225th day following the date of the original issuance of the Securities, or (iv) after either the Exchange Offer Registration or Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of the Securities or Exchange Securities in accordance with and during the periods specified in the Registration Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) above being referred to herein as a “Registration Default”), interest (the “Special Interest”) shall accrue on the principal amount of the Securities and the Exchange Securities (in addition to stated interest on the Securities and the Exchange Securities) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of the Securities; provided, however, that such rate per annum shall increase by 0.25% per annum from and including the 121st day after the first such Registration Default unless and until all Registration Defaults have been cured; provided further, however, that in no event shall the Special Interest accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum.  The Special Interest will be payable in cash semiannually in arrears each January 27 and July 27.

3

2.  Method of Payment

The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on the January 15 or July 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments.  The Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payments in respect of the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company.  Payments on the Securities will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the city and State of New York in the United States or at the office of the Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent in Luxembourg unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the Register; provided, however, that payments on the Securities may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Company to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3.  Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York corporation (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar and The Bank of New York (Luxembourg S.A.) will act as Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent.  The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4.  Indenture

The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of July 27, 2005 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.  The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”).  Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of those terms.

The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Company unlimited in principal amount.  [This Security is one of the Original Securities referred to in the Indenture issued in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000.  The Securities include the Original Securities, additional Initial Securities that may be issued under the Indenture, and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange for Initial Securities].  [This

4

Security is one of the additional Initial Securities referred to in the Indenture.  The Securities include such additional Securities, the Original Securities in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 previously issued under the Indenture and any Exchange Securities issued in exchange for Initial Securities.  The additional Initial Securities, the Original Securities and the Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture.]  The Original Securities, such additional Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture.  The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create or incur Liens and enter into Sale and Leaseback transactions and limitations on the ability of Subsidiaries to incur Indebtedness.  The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey or transfer its assets substantially as an entity.  If the Company attains Investment Grade Status, and notwithstanding that the Company may later cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from any of the Rating Agencies, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be released from their obligations to comply with certain of  the restrictive covenants in the Indenture.

5.  Optional Redemption

(a)  Except as set forth below, the Securities may not be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity.  The Company is not, however, prohibited from acquiring the Securities by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise, so long as the acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

(b)  The Securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the Company’s option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable redemption date) discounted to that redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points; plus, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of interest on the Securities will be payable to the Holders of those Securities registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to the terms and provisions of the Indenture.

6.  Sinking Fund

The Securities are not subject to any sinking fund.

7.  Notice of Redemption

Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his or her registered address.  Any notice to Holders of Securities of such a

5

redemption pursuant to clause (b) in paragraph 5 needs to include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but does not need to include the redemption price itself.  The actual redemption price, calculated as described in such clause (b), must be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date.  Securities in denominations larger than $100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000.  If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

8.  Repurchase of Securities at the Option of Holders upon Change of Control Triggering Event

Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, any Holder of Securities will have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

9.  Denominations; Transfer; Exchange

The Securities are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the Indenture.  Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities from the record date to the due date for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities or for 15 days prior to selection for redemption through the date of redemption.

10.  Persons Deemed Owners

The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

11.  Unclaimed Money

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person.  After any

6

such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

12.  Discharge and Defeasance

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

13.  Amendment, Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended without prior notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii) any default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities.  Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of Securities, the Company and the Trustee may not amend the Indenture or the Securities to:  change any installment of interest with respect to any Security or reduce the principal amount of or interest with respect to any Security; change cash prices at which the Securities may be redeemed by the Issuer; reduce the premium payable upon a Change of Control Triggering Event or, at any time after a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, change the time at which the Change of Control Offer relating thereto must be made or at which the Securities must be repurchased pursuant to such Change of Control Offer; change the currency in which, or change the required place at which, payment with respect to principal of or interest with respect to the Securities is payable; or reduce the above-stated percentage of principal amount outstanding of Securities required to modify or amend the Indenture or the terms or conditions of the Securities or to waive any future compliance or past default.

14.  Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, subject to certain limitations, may declare all the Securities to be immediately due and payable.  Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default and shall result in the Securities being immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such Events of Default without any further act of the Trustee or any Holder.

Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power under the Indenture.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind any

7

declaration of acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration.

15.  Trustee Dealings with the Company

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

16.  No Recourse Against Others

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

Authentication

This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

Abbreviations

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder 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 Gift to Minors Act).

Governing Law

THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

CUSIP Numbers

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of

8

redemption as a convenience to Securityholders.  No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH TO ANY HOLDER OF SECURITIES UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE HOLDER A COPY OF THE INDENTURE WHICH HAS IN IT THE TEXT OF THIS SECURITY.

(a)  Except as set forth below, the Securities are not redeemable at the Company’s option.  The Company is not, however, prohibited from acquiring the Securities by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise, so long as the acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

(b)  The Securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the Company’s option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable redemption date) discounted to that redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points; plus, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption.

12.  Discharge and Defeasance

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

14.  Defaults and Remedies

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, subject to certain limitations, may declare all the Securities to be immediately due and payable.  Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default and shall result in the Securities being immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such Events of Default without any further act of the Trustee or any Holder.

Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable indemnity or security.  Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power under the Indenture.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind any declaration of acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration.

15.  Trustee Dealings with the Company

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

16.  No Recourse Against Others

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