ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a “shelf” registration statement that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, referred to as the SEC in this prospectus. By using a shelf registration statement, we may sell, at any time and from time to time, in one or more offerings, any combination of the securities described in this prospectus. As allowed by SEC rules, this prospectus does not contain all the information you can find in the registration statement or the exhibits to the registration statement. For further information about our business and the securities, you should refer to the registration statement and its exhibits. The exhibits to our registration statement contain the full text of certain contracts and other important documents we have summarized in this prospectus. Because these summaries may not contain all the information that you may find important in deciding whether to purchase the securities we offer, you should review the full text of these documents. The registration statement and the exhibits thereto can be obtained from the SEC, as indicated under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

This prospectus provides you with only a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we offer securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that contains specific information about the terms of those securities. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

The prospectus supplement also will contain, with respect to the securities being sold, the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, together with the terms of the offering, the compensation of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the net proceeds to us.

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with different, additional or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We are not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should assume that the information in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus, regardless of the date of delivery of this prospectus or any sales of securities made in connection herewith. In the case of information contained in documents we file with the SEC and incorporate by reference in this prospectus, you should assume that such information is accurate only as of the respective dates of those documents. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

References in this prospectus to FedEx, we, us and our are to FedEx Corporation. References to FedEx Express are to Federal Express Corporation, our largest subsidiary.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus (including the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus) may contain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, plans, objectives, future performance and business. Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “intends,” or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated (expressed or implied) by such forward-looking statements because of, among other things, the risk factors identified or referred to below under the heading “Risk Factors.”

As a result of these and other factors, no assurance can be given as to our future results and achievements. Accordingly, a forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances and those future events or circumstances may not occur. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We are under no obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We and FedEx Express file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements (in the case of FedEx only) and other information with the SEC. These SEC filings are available to the public over the Internet at the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov. You may also read and copy any of these documents at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on its public reference room.

The SEC allows us to incorporate by reference information into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. Information incorporated by reference is considered a part of this prospectus, and later information filed with the SEC will automatically update and supersede previous information contained in documents filed earlier with the SEC or contained in this prospectus. We and FedEx Express incorporate by reference into this prospectus the documents listed below and all future filings made with the SEC under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (excluding, in each case, any information or documents deemed to be furnished and not filed with the SEC) prior to the termination of the offering under this prospectus.

FedEx provides a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce and business services through companies operating independently, competing collectively and managed collaboratively, under the respected FedEx brand. These companies are included in four reportable business segments:

• FedEx Express: FedEx Express is the world’s largest express transportation company, offering time-certain delivery within one to three business days and serving markets that comprise more than 90% of the world’s gross domestic product. The FedEx Express segment also includes FedEx Trade Networks, Inc., which provides international trade services, specializing in customs brokerage and global cargo distribution.

• FedEx Ground: FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”) is a leading provider of small-package ground delivery services. FedEx Ground provides low-cost residential delivery to nearly 100% of U.S. residences through its FedEx Home Delivery service. The FedEx Ground segment also includes FedEx SmartPost, Inc., which specializes in the consolidation and delivery of high volumes of low-weight, less time-sensitive business-to-consumer packages using the U.S. Postal Service for final delivery to residences.

• FedEx Freight: FedEx Freight Corporation (“FedEx Freight”) is a leading U.S. provider of regional next-day and second-day and interregional less-than-truckload freight services. The FedEx Freight segment also includes FedEx Custom Critical, Inc., North America’s largest time-specific, critical shipment carrier, and Caribbean Transportation Services, Inc., the leading provider of airfreight forwarding services between the United States and Puerto Rico.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risks. In connection with any investment in our securities, you should consider carefully (i) the factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, (ii) the factors set forth below related to our debt securities, and (iii) the other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

The Indenture Does Not Limit the Amount of Indebtedness That We May Incur

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the indenture under which we will issue the debt securities and guarantees will not limit the amount of secured or unsecured indebtedness that we or our subsidiaries may incur. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the indenture, which is described below under “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees,” will not contain any debt covenants or provisions that would afford the holders of the debt securities protection in the event we participate in a highly leveraged transaction.

We Depend Upon Our Subsidiaries to Service Our Debt

We are a holding company and derive all of our operating income from our subsidiaries. Our only source of cash to pay principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities is from dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries’ ability to make such payments may be restricted by, among other things, applicable state and foreign corporate laws and other laws and regulations. In addition, our right and the rights of our creditors, including holders of our debt securities, to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon its liquidation or reorganization would be subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary’s creditors, except to the extent that we may ourselves be a creditor with recognized claims against such subsidiary. The debt securities will be guaranteed by certain subsidiary guarantors. See “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees—Guarantees.” If our subsidiaries do not provide us with enough cash to make payments on the debt securities when due, you may have to proceed directly against the subsidiary guarantors.

The Guarantees May Be Limited In Duration

At our option, we may cause the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor, other than FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, FedEx Freight East, Inc. (“FedEx Freight East”), FedEx Kinko’s, FedEx Services and FCIS, to be released at any time. Upon the release of a subsidiary guarantor, holders of debt securities will no longer have a direct claim against such subsidiary under the guarantee. See “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees—Guarantees.” In addition, if we sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all of the capital stock or all or substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary guarantor to any person that is not an affiliate of FedEx, the guarantee of that subsidiary will terminate and holders of debt securities will no longer have a direct claim against such subsidiary under the guarantee. See “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets.”

The Guarantees May Be Challenged as Fraudulent Conveyances

Federal, state and foreign bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar laws could limit the enforceability of a guarantee. For example, creditors of a subsidiary guarantor could claim that, since the guarantees were incurred for the benefit of FedEx (and only indirectly for the benefit of a subsidiary guarantor), the obligation of a subsidiary guarantor was incurred for less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration. If any of our subsidiary guarantors is deemed to have received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee and, at the time it gave the guarantee, that subsidiary guarantor:

• was insolvent or rendered insolvent by giving its guarantee;

6

• was engaged in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

• intended to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature,

then the obligations of such subsidiary guarantor under its guarantee could be voided or subordinated to its other debts. If a court voided a guarantee as a result of a fraudulent conveyance, then the holders of debt securities would cease to have a claim against the subsidiary guarantor. To the extent that the claims of holders of debt securities against any subsidiary guarantor were subordinated in favor of other creditors of such subsidiary, such other creditors would be entitled to be paid in full before any payment could be made on the debt securities. In this regard, in an attempt to limit the applicability of fraudulent transfer laws, unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the indenture will limit the amount of each guarantee to the amount that will result in it not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. However, we cannot assure you as to what standard a court would apply in making a determination as to what would be the maximum liability of each guarantor or whether this limitation would be effective in protecting a guarantee from being voided under fraudulent transfer law.

Ratings of Our Debt Securities Could Be Lowered In the Future

We expect that the offered debt securities will be rated “investment grade” by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, hold or sell debt securities, since a rating does not predict the market price of a particular security or its suitability for a particular investor. The rating organization may lower our rating or decide not to rate our securities in its sole discretion. The rating of the debt securities will be based primarily on the rating organization’s assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of interest when due on the debt securities and the ultimate payment of principal of the debt securities on the final maturity date. The reduction, suspension or withdrawal of the ratings of the debt securities will not, in and of itself, constitute an event of default under the indenture.

An Active Trading Market For Our Debt Securities May Not Develop

There is no established trading market for the debt securities since they are a new issue of securities. We do not intend to apply for the listing of any debt securities on a national securities exchange. We cannot assure you as to the liquidity of the public market for the debt securities or that any active public market for the debt securities will develop or continue. If an active public market does not develop or continue, the market price and liquidity of the debt securities may be adversely affected.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

(Unaudited)

	Year Ended May 31,
	2006	2005	2004	2003	2002
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges	3.8	3.3	2.5	2.5	2.3

Earnings included in the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges represent income before income taxes plus fixed charges, other than capitalized interest. Fixed charges include interest expense, including capitalized interest, amortization of debt issuance costs and a portion of rent expense representative of interest.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for our general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, capital expenditures, working capital, repayment or reduction of indebtedness and the financing of acquisitions.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES

The following summary describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities and guarantees covered by this prospectus. When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms of the debt securities and guarantees in a prospectus supplement.

Because the following is a summary, it does not contain all of the information you may find useful. We have filed the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement, and you should read it for provisions that may be important to you. In the following description, we have included references to section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions.

Terms; Form and Denomination

We will issue the debt securities and guarantees under an indenture between us and a trustee, which, unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, will be The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. We may issue debt securities under the indenture from time to time in one or more series, each in an amount we authorize prior to issuance. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the indenture will not limit the aggregate amount of debt securities we may issue under the indenture.

The debt securities will be our general unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be guaranteed by FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, FedEx Freight East, FedEx Kinko’s, FedEx Services and FCIS (collectively, the “Specified Guarantors”) and Federal Express Europe, Inc., Federal Express Holdings S.A. and Federal Express International, Inc. These subsidiaries currently guarantee our obligations under our outstanding unsecured debt securities, revolving credit facility and letter of credit facility. At our option, however, we may cause the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor (other than the Specified Guarantors) to be released at any time.

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the indenture will not contain any debt covenants or other provisions that would afford the holders of the debt securities protection in the event we participate in a highly leveraged transaction.

The prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering. These terms will include some or all of the following:

• the title of the debt securities;

• the authorized denominations and aggregate principal amount offered and any limit on future issues of additional debt securities of the same series;

• whether we will issue the debt securities as individual certificates to each holder or in the form of global securities held by a depositary on behalf of holders;

• the date or dates on which the principal of and any premium on the debt securities will be payable or the method by which such date or dates will be determined;

• any interest rate on the debt securities, any date from which interest will accrue, any interest payment dates and regular record dates for interest payments, or the method used to determine any of the foregoing and the basis for calculating interest, if other than a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months;

• the place or places where payments on the debt securities will be payable, the debt securities may be presented for registration of transfer or exchange, and notices and demands to or upon us relating to the debt securities may be made, if other than the corporate trust office of the trustee;

• any provisions that would determine payments on the debt securities by reference to a formula, index or other method;

• whether and under what circumstances any additional amounts with respect to the debt securities will be payable;

8

• any mandatory or optional sinking fund or analogous provisions;

• any provisions for optional or mandatory redemption or repurchase;

• the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities that will be payable if the maturity is accelerated, if other than the entire principal amount;

• any provisions for the defeasance of the debt securities;

• the currency in which payments of principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities will be payable, if other than U.S. dollars;

• any additional events of default or covenants applicable to the series;

• any restrictions or other provisions relating to the transfer or exchange of the debt securities;

• any terms for the conversion or exchange of the debt securities for other securities issued by us or any other entity;

• the terms of the guarantees and the identities of the subsidiary guarantors; and

• any other terms that are not inconsistent with the indenture.

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, all outstanding debt securities will be exchangeable, transfers of debt securities will be registrable, and principal of and any premium and interest on all debt securities will be payable, at the corporate trust office of the trustee; provided that payment of interest may, at our option, be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears in the security register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States. (Sections 3.01, 3.05, 3.07 and 10.02)

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, all debt securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000. (Section 3.02) Neither FedEx nor the trustee will impose any service charge for any transfer or exchange of a debt security; however, we may ask you to pay any taxes or other governmental charges in connection with a transfer or exchange of debt securities. (Section 3.05)

We may sell the debt securities at a discount, which may be substantial, below their stated principal amount. Those debt securities may bear no interest or may bear interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below market rates. We will describe any material United States federal income tax consequences and any other special considerations relating to an investment in discount securities in any prospectus supplement relating to such securities.

If we sell any of the debt securities for any foreign currency or currency unit or if payments on the debt securities are payable in any foreign currency or currency unit, we will describe in a prospectus supplement the restrictions, elections, tax consequences, specific terms and other information relating to those debt securities and the foreign currency or currency unit.

Guarantees

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be guaranteed by the Specified Guarantors and Federal Express Europe, Inc., Federal Express Holdings S.A. and Federal Express International, Inc. In addition, at our option, we may cause the guarantee of any subsidiary guarantor (other than any Specified Guarantor) to be released at any time. (Section 12.04) See “Risk Factors—The Guarantees May Be Limited in Duration.”

Each of the subsidiary guarantors will fully and unconditionally guarantee, jointly and severally, the due and punctual payment of principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities, and the due and punctual payment of any sinking fund payments, when the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by

9

declaration of acceleration, by call for redemption or otherwise. (Section 12.01) The guarantees will be unsecured obligations of the respective subsidiary guarantors and will rank equally with all of their other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the guarantees will not contain any restrictions on the ability of any subsidiary guarantor to pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of that subsidiary guarantor’s capital stock or make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities, if any, of that subsidiary guarantor.

Each subsidiary guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable subsidiary guarantor without rendering the subsidiary guarantee, as it relates to such subsidiary guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws. (Section 12.07) See “Risk Factors—The Guarantees May Be Challenged as Fraudulent Conveyances.”

Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets

The indenture will provide that we may not consolidate with or merge into any other person, or convey, transfer or lease our properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any person, unless:

• our successor is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any state or the District of Columbia;

• our successor shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on all the debt securities and the performance of every covenant in the indenture that we would otherwise have to perform;

• immediately after giving effect to such transaction, there will not be any defaults under the indenture; and

• we shall have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that the transaction and the supplemental indenture comply with the indenture. (Section 8.01)

Upon the sale or disposition (by merger or otherwise) of any subsidiary guarantor by FedEx or any subsidiary of FedEx to any person that is not an affiliate of FedEx, each such subsidiary guarantor will automatically be released from all obligations under its guarantee. (Section 12.04)

We have agreed that we will not sell or dispose of any subsidiary guarantor whose assets exceed 10% of our consolidated total assets (determined as of the date of our most recent interim or fiscal year-end balance sheet filed with the SEC prior to the date such guarantee is released) (each, a “10% subsidiary guarantor”) unless at least 75% of the net proceeds of such sale or disposition will consist of any combination of:

• cash (including assumption by the acquiror of any indebtedness of FedEx or its subsidiaries) or readily marketable securities;

• property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or type similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets of FedEx and its subsidiaries existing on the date of such sale or disposition; or

• interests in companies or businesses having property or assets or engaged in businesses similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets or businesses of FedEx and its subsidiaries on the date of such sale or disposition. (Section 10.07)

Application of Proceeds Upon Release of a 10% Subsidiary Guarantor

In the event that the net proceeds from the sale or disposition of a 10% subsidiary guarantor consist of cash or readily marketable securities, we will apply, within 12 months of such sale or disposition, an amount equal to 100% of the fair market value, as determined in good faith by our board of directors, of such net proceeds to:

• repay unsubordinated indebtedness of FedEx or any subsidiary guarantor, in each case owing to a person other than an affiliate of FedEx;

10

• invest in property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or type similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets of FedEx and its subsidiaries existing on the date of such investment; or

• invest in a company or business having property or assets or engaged in a business similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets or businesses of FedEx and its subsidiaries on the date of such investment. (Section 10.07)

Modification, Amendment and Waiver

We and the trustee may modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of debt securities to be affected (voting as a single class). However, no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each debt security affected thereby:

• change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any premium or installment of interest on, any debt security;

• reduce the principal amount of, rate of interest on, or premium payable upon the redemption of, any debt security;

• change any place of payment where, or the currency in which, any principal of, or interest or premium on, any debt security is payable;

• impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any debt security on or after the stated maturity, or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date; or

• reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding debt securities the consent of whose holders is required for modification or amendment of the indenture, for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or for waiver of certain defaults. (Section 9.02)

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive any past default under the indenture and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities or in respect of a covenant or provision that under the indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected. (Section 5.13)

In addition, we and the trustee can modify and amend the indenture without the consent of any holders in order to, among other things:

• allow a successor to FedEx or a subsidiary guarantor to assume our or its obligations under the indenture;

• add additional events of default or additional covenants of FedEx or a subsidiary guarantor or to surrender any of our rights or powers;

• establish the form or terms of any series of debt securities;

• secure the debt securities of any series;

• correct any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency under the indenture, or to make other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the indenture, provided that such action does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of any debt securities in any material respect;

• add to, change or eliminate any provision of the indenture applying to one or more series of debt securities, provided that if such action adversely affects in any material respect the interests of holders of any series of debt securities, such addition, change or elimination will become effective with respect to such series only when no such security of that series remains outstanding;

• add additional subsidiary guarantors or remove subsidiary guarantors (other than the Specified Guarantors) of the debt securities;

• evidence and provide for the appointment of a successor trustee or to add to or change any provisions to the extent necessary to appoint a separate trustee for a specific series of debt securities; or

• make any other amendment or supplement to the indenture as long as that amendment or supplement does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holders of debt securities. (Section 9.01)

11

Events of Default

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, an event of default with respect to a series of debt securities will occur if:

• we fail to pay interest when due on any debt security of that series for 30 days;

• we fail to pay the principal of or any premium on any debt security of that series when due;

• we fail to perform any covenant in the indenture and this failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice as provided in the indenture;

• we fail to deposit any sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms of a debt security of that series;

• we or a court takes certain actions relating to our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization for the benefit of our creditors; or

• any subsidiary guarantor whose consolidated total assets constitute 60% or more of our consolidated total assets (determined as of the date of our most recent interim or fiscal year-end balance sheet filed with the SEC prior to such determination date) or a court takes certain actions relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of such subsidiary guarantor for the benefit of its creditors. (Section 5.01)

If an event of default with respect to all debt securities of any series occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may require us to repay immediately the principal amount of all debt securities of that series. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul such acceleration if all events of default with respect to the debt securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. (Section 5.02) For information as to waiver of defaults, see “—Modification, Amendment and Waiver” above.

Other than its duties in case of a default, the trustee will not be obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders offer to the trustee reasonable indemnity. (Sections 6.01 and 6.03) If the holders provide this reasonable indemnity, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series will have the right, subject to certain limitations, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to any series of debt securities. (Section 5.12)

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy under the indenture unless:

• the holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default;

• the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made a written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute a proceeding as trustee; and

• the trustee has not received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with the request, and the trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. (Section 5.07)

However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the debt security as expressed in the debt security, or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment. (Section 5.08)

12

We will be required to furnish to the trustee annually a statement as to the absence of certain defaults under the indenture. (Section 10.05) The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except as to payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest with respect to the debt securities, if the trustee considers such withholding to be in the interest of the holders of the debt securities. (Section 6.02)

Discharge and Defeasance

We may satisfy and discharge obligations with respect to the debt securities of a particular series by either delivering to the trustee for cancellation all outstanding debt securities of that series, or depositing with the trustee, after the outstanding debt securities of that series have become due and payable, or will become due and payable within one year, at maturity or by redemption, sufficient cash or government securities to pay the principal, interest, any premium and any other sums due to the stated maturity date or redemption date of the debt securities of that series. (Section 4.01)

In addition, the indenture provides that at our option we may:

• be discharged from our obligations with respect to the debt securities of a particular series (“defeasance and discharge”), or

• cease to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the indenture, including those described under “—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets,” and certain events of default will no longer apply to us (“covenant defeasance”),

if we deposit with the trustee sufficient cash or government securities to pay the principal, interest, any premium and any other sums due to the stated maturity date or redemption date of the debt securities of that series. (Sections 13.01, 13.02 and 13.03) Upon defeasance and discharge, the holders of the debt securities of the affected series will not be entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except for registration of transfer and exchange of debt securities and replacement of lost, stolen or mutilated debt securities. Such holders may look only to such deposited funds or obligations for payment. (Section 13.02)

The defeasance and discharge and covenant defeasance described above are effective only if, among other things, we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that (i) the holders of the debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as result of such defeasance and discharge or covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such defeasance and discharge or covenant defeasance had not occurred, and (ii) in the case of defeasance and discharge, the opinion as to tax consequences is based upon an Internal Revenue Service ruling or a change in applicable federal income tax law. (Section 13.04)

Book-Entry Procedures

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, each series of debt securities will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global securities. We will deposit each global security with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and register such global security in the name of Cede & Co. or another nominee of DTC. If you wish to own debt securities that are represented by one or more global securities, you can do so only indirectly or “beneficially” through an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that has an account with DTC (i.e., a DTC participant) or through an account directly with DTC if you are a DTC participant. No holder of a debt security initially issued as a global security will be entitled to receive a debt security in certificated form, except as set forth below.

Except as set forth below, a global security may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.

DTC has advised us as follows:

• DTC is

• a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York;

13

• a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York banking law;

• a member of the Federal Reserve System;

• a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and

• a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

• DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entries in accounts of its participants, eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates.

• DTC participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and others, some of whom own DTC.

• Access to DTC’s book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. Persons who are not participants may beneficially own securities held by DTC only through participants or indirect participants.

DTC has advised us that pursuant to procedures established by it:

• upon issuance of a global security, DTC will credit the accounts of participants designated by any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities with the respective principal amounts of debt securities beneficially owned by such participants; and

• ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to participants), by the participants (with respect to indirect participants and certain beneficial owners) and by the indirect participants (with respect to all other beneficial owners).

The laws of some states require that certain persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. These laws may limit your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in a global security.

As long as DTC’s nominee is the registered owner of a global security, such nominee for all purposes will be considered the sole owner or holder of such debt securities under the indenture. Except as provided below, you will not:

• be entitled to have any debt securities registered in your name;

• receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any debt securities in definitive form; and

• be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities under the indenture.

We will make payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on debt securities represented by a global security to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder of the global security representing those debt securities. DTC has advised us that upon receipt of any payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, a global security, DTC will immediately credit accounts of participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global security, as shown in DTC’s records. Standing instructions and customary practices will govern payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through those participants, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name.” Those payments will be the sole responsibility of those participants, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements that may be in effect from time to time.

Neither we, the trustee nor any of our respective agents will be responsible or liable for any actions or inactions by DTC, any nominee or any participant relating to any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a global security, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records related to such beneficial ownership interests.

14

We will issue debt securities in definitive form in exchange for global securities if:

• DTC notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary or if at any time DTC, or any successor depositary, ceases to be a “clearing agency” under the Exchange Act and, in each case, we have not appointed a successor depositary within 90 days; or

• we choose in our sole discretion to issue definitive debt securities.

In either instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled to have debt securities equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest registered in its name and will be entitled to physical delivery of debt securities in definitive form. You will not be charged a fee for any transfer or exchange of such debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. (Section 3.05)

Regarding the Trustee

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. will be the trustee under the indenture. We may conduct banking and other transactions with the trustee and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

Authorized Shares of Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 800,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.10 par value per share, and 4,000,000 shares of series preferred stock, without par value.

Our common stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Each member of the board of directors is elected by the holders of a plurality of the shares entitled to vote in person or by proxy at a meeting for the election of directors.

15

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects

General. Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law may have the effect of impeding the acquisition of control of us. These provisions are designed to reduce, or have the effect of reducing, our vulnerability to unsolicited takeover attempts.

Delaware Takeover Statute. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to specified exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

Special Meetings. Pursuant to Delaware law, a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the board of directors or by any other person authorized to do so in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. Our certificate of incorporation provides that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by our board of directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire board of directors.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws require that all stockholder action be taken at a duly called meeting of the stockholders and prohibit taking action by written consent of stockholders.

Additional Authorized Shares of Capital Stock. The additional shares of authorized common stock and preferred stock available for issuance under our certificate of incorporation could be issued at such times, under such circumstances and with such terms and conditions as to impede a change in control.

16

Supermajority Voting and Proposal to Remove All Supermajority Voting. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws currently include certain provisions that require an 80% supermajority vote of our outstanding shares of capital stock for the following actions:

• approving certain business combinations with greater-than-10% stockholders, unless (i) the transaction is approved by a majority of the disinterested directors, or (ii) the stockholders receive a “fair price” and other procedural requirements are met (the “fair price provision”);

• amending or repealing the fair price provision or the requirements in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws that (i) stockholder action be taken at a duly called annual or special meeting, and (ii) special meetings be called only by the board of directors; and

• dividing the board of directors into classes with staggered terms.

Our board of directors will submit a proposal to stockholders at the 2006 annual meeting to amend FedEx’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to remove all supermajority voting requirements. The board’s proposal will be included in our definitive proxy statement for the 2006 annual meeting. If the board’s proposal is adopted, the stockholder approval threshold for these actions will be reduced to a simple majority of outstanding shares. Stockholders will vote on the board’s proposal at our 2006 annual meeting in September 2006. Approval of the proposed amendments will require an 80% supermajority stockholder vote.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell our securities in any of the following ways:

• to or through underwriters;

• to or through dealers;

• through agents;

• directly to purchasers through a specific bidding, ordering or auction process or otherwise;

• through any combination of these methods of sale; or

• through any other methods described in a prospectus supplement.

The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered will set forth the specific plan of distribution and the terms of the offering, including:

• the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;

• the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;

• any underwriting discounts, selling commissions, agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’, dealers’ or agents’ compensation;

• any initial public offering price; and

• any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers or agents.

Underwriters

Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If we use underwriters for a sale of securities, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters at the time of sale of those securities. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to certain conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if any are purchased. The underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers.

17

Dealers

If we use dealers in a sale, unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we will sell the securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices that they determine at the time of resale.

Agents

If we use agents in a sale, unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, the agents will act on a best-efforts basis to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment.

Compensation

In connection with the sale of our securities, underwriters or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agents in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Any underwriting compensation paid by us to underwriters or agents in connection with an offering of securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit realized by them on the resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933.

Direct Sales

We may directly solicit offers to purchase our securities, and we may directly sell our securities to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to any resales. We will describe the terms of any direct sales in a prospectus supplement.

Delayed Delivery Contracts

We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers from institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. If we use delayed delivery contracts, they will be subject only to those conditions that we set forth in a prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

General Information

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the securities may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Underwriters, dealers or agents and their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, we do not intend to apply for the listing of any debt securities on a national securities exchange. If debt securities are sold to or through underwriters, the underwriters may make a market in such debt securities, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. No underwriter would be obligated, however, to make a market in the debt securities, and any market-making could be discontinued at any time at the sole discretion of the underwriters. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of, or trading markets for, any debt securities.

In order to facilitate an offering of securities, persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the offered securities. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. If any such activities will occur, they will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

18

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Delaware Law”) permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for the unlawful payment of dividends, or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Article Thirteenth of FedEx’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), provides that no director shall be personally liable to FedEx or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that Article Thirteenth does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director of FedEx (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to FedEx or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware Law (relating to the unlawful payment of dividends) or any amendment or successor provision thereto, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article Thirteenth of the Charter does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when Article Thirteenth became effective (December 3, 1997). Neither the amendment nor repeal of Article Thirteenth of the Charter, nor the adoption of any provision of the Charter inconsistent with Article Thirteenth, will eliminate or reduce the effect of Article Thirteenth with respect to any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for Article Thirteenth, would accrue or arise prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

Section 145 of the Delaware Law permits a corporation to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees or agents who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or another enterprise if serving at the request of the corporation), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. In any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, a corporation is permitted to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that

II-1

no indemnification may be made if such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite such adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

Article VI, Section 1 of FedEx’s Restated Bylaws provides that FedEx shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Law, (a) indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or managing director (or its equivalent) of FedEx, or is or was serving at the request of FedEx as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, and (b) pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a person in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified. FedEx shall be required to indemnify and advance expenses to any such person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of FedEx.

FedEx also has purchased insurance designed to protect FedEx and its directors and officers against losses arising from certain claims, including claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the undersigned registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that is part of the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the undersigned registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

II-3

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to the registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXHIBIT 1.1

FEDEX CORPORATION

(a Delaware corporation)

FORM OF UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

(DEBT SECURITIES)

August 2, 2006

FedEx Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), may, alone or together with Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”), FedEx Ground Package System, Inc., FedEx Freight Corporation, FedEx Freight East, Inc. and FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print Services, Inc. (collectively, the “Significant Guarantors” and, together with each subsidiary of the Company that pursuant to the terms of the Indenture referred to below guarantees the Company’s obligations under such Indenture, the “Guarantors”), enter into one or more underwriting agreements that provide for the sale of designated securities to the several underwriters named therein. The standard provisions set forth herein shall be incorporated by reference in any such underwriting agreement (an “Underwriting Agreement”). The Underwriting Agreement, including the provisions incorporated therein by reference, is herein referred to as this Agreement. Terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

The Company proposes from time to time to issue its unsecured debt securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture to be executed among the Company, as issuer, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented or amended from time to time (the “Indenture”). The Securities will be guaranteed as to principal and interest pursuant to the Indenture by the Guarantors (each such guarantee, a “Securities Guarantee”).

The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3, which contains a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”), to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Securities, and have filed with, or shall promptly after the date of the Underwriting Agreement file with, the Commission a prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) pursuant to Rule 424 (b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”) specifically relating to the Securities offered pursuant to this Agreement (the “Offered Securities”). Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, at the time of effectiveness under the Securities Act, including any required information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or 430B under the Securities Act, is called the “Registration Statement.” The Base Prospectus, together with a preliminary

prospectus supplement specifically relating to the Offered Securities and as used prior to filing the Prospectus is referred to herein as the “Preliminary Prospectus.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the Prospectus Supplement, together with the Base Prospectus. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein; any reference to any amendment or supplement to any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), and incorporated by reference in such Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference to any amendment to the Registration Statement shall be deemed to refer to and include any annual report of the Company filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective date of the Registration Statement that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. The term “Applicable Time” shall mean the date and time set forth in the Underwriting Agreement or such other time as agreed in writing by the Company and the Underwriters. All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).

Section 1. Representations and Warranties of the Company. (a) Each of the Significant Guarantors, solely with respect to matters relative to it, and the Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Time (as defined below), and agrees with each Underwriter as follows:

(i) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act. No order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof has been issued by the Commission and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or related to the offering has been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission; each of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, as of the applicable effective date or dates, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Trust Indenture Act”), and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and as of the date of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto and as of the Closing Time, the Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representation and warranty with respect to (A) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act or (B) any statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by the Representative

2

expressly for use in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

(ii) Due Incorporation and Qualification. Each of the Company and the Significant Guarantors has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package (as defined below) and the Prospectus and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(iii) Subsidiaries. Each subsidiary of the Company which is a significant subsidiary as defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C of the Securities Act (each, a “Significant Subsidiary”) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole; and all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Significant Subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable and, except for directors’ qualifying shares or other minimum share ownership as may be required by local law (except as otherwise stated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus), is owned by the Company, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or adverse claim of any third party.

(iv) Disclosure Package. The term “Disclosure Package” shall mean (A) the Base Prospectus, including the Preliminary Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, (B) the issuer free writing prospectuses as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) identified in Schedule C to the Underwriting Agreement, (C) any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package and (D) the Final Term Sheet (as defined herein), in the form set forth in Schedule D to the Underwriting Agreement, which also shall be identified in Schedule C to the Underwriting Agreement. As of the Applicable Time, the Disclosure Package did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representative specifically for use therein,

3

it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in Section 7 hereof.

(v) Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses. Neither any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus nor any Final Term Sheet, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the Closing Time or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Representative as described in the next sentence, included, includes or will include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement as of such date and times, including any document incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify the Representative and has promptly amended or supplemented or will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict. The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Representative specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in Section 7 hereof.

(vi) Distribution of Offering Material By the Company and the Significant Guarantors. Each of the Company and the Significant Guarantors has not distributed and will not distribute, prior to the later of the Closing Time and the completion of the Underwriters’ distribution of the Offered Securities and Securities Guarantees, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered Securities and Securities Guarantees other than the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Final Term Sheet, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in Schedule C to the Underwriting Agreement, and any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto expressly agreed in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package.

(vii) Each of the Company and the Significant Guarantors is a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this clause only, of Rule 163(c) of the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Offered Securities in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163 of the Securities Act, and (D) at the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (D)), each of the Company and the Significant Guarantors was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, and neither the Company nor any of the Significant Guarantors has received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of

4

the Securities Act objecting to use of the automatic shelf registration statement form and neither the Company nor any of the Significant Guarantors has otherwise ceased to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(viii) Company Not Ineligible Issuer. (A) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement relating to the Offered Securities that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2)) of the Securities Act and (B) as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement (with such date being used as the determination date for purposes of this clause (B)), none of the Company and the Significant Guarantors was or is an Ineligible Issuer (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act), without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 of the Securities Act that it is not necessary that any of the Company or the Significant Guarantors be considered an Ineligible Issuer.

(ix) Internal Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains effective “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

(x) No Material Weakness in Internal Controls. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein, since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been (i) no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (ii) no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(xi) Incorporated Documents. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act, and none of such documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus during the Prospectus Delivery Period (as defined in Section 4(a) below), when such documents are so filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(xii) Accountants. Ernst & Young LLP, who have expressed their opinion on certain consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as required by the Securities Act.

5

(xiii) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto of each of the Company and FedEx Express included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial positions of the Company and its subsidiaries and of FedEx Express and its subsidiaries, respectively, as of the dates indicated and the results of their respective operations and the changes in their respective cash flows for the periods specified; such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved; and the other financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus present fairly the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(xiv) No Material Adverse Changes. Except as stated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change, or any development directly involving the Company that would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change, in the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Indenture and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein by the Company, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities Guarantees and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and therein by each of the Significant Guarantors, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.

Each of the Company and the Significant Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Offered Securities and Securities Guarantees pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the public offering price of the Offered Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, and the Company and the Guarantors are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary of the Company, the Guarantors or their respective affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Guarantors with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Guarantors on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company or the Guarantors with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors and that the several Underwriters have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and (v) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate.

Section 4. Covenants of the Company and the Significant Guarantors. The Company and, to the extent specified below, each of the Significant Guarantors covenants with each Underwriter participating in the offering as follows:

(a) Representative’s Review of Proposed Amendments and Supplements. During the period beginning on the Applicable Time and ending on the later of the Closing Time or such date, as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters and communicated in writing to the Company, the Prospectus is no longer required by law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or dealer, including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied

9

pursuant to Rule 172 (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), prior to amending or supplementing the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement through incorporation by reference of any report filed under the Exchange Act), the Company shall furnish to the Representative for review a copy of each such proposed amendment or supplement, and the Company shall not file or use any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representative reasonably objects (unless such filing or use is necessary to comply with law).

(b) Amendments and Supplements to the Registration Statement, Prospectus and Other Securities Act Matters. If, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, any event or development shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or to file under the Exchange Act any document to be incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if in the opinion of counsel for the Representative it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or to file a new registration statement containing the Prospectus, in order to comply with law, including in connection with the delivery of the Prospectus, the Company agrees to (i) notify the Representative of any such event or condition and (ii) promptly prepare (subject to Section 4(a) and 4(d) hereof), file with the Commission (and use its reasonable best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or any new registration statement to be declared effective) and furnish at its own expense to the Underwriters and to dealers, amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any new registration statement, necessary in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or so that the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with law.

(c) Final Term Sheet. The Company will prepare a final term sheet for each series of the Offered Securities in a form approved by the Representative, and will file each such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act within the time required by such rule (each such term sheet, the “Final Term Sheet”).

(d) Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents that it has not made, and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representative, it will not make, any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 of the Securities Act; provided that the prior written consent of the Representative hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses included in Schedule C to the Underwriting Agreement. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representative is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (i) it has treated

10

and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and (ii) has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 of the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping. Each of the Company and the Significant Guarantors consent to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing prospectus that (a) is not an “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433, and (b) contains only (i) information describing the preliminary terms of the Offered Securities or their offering, (ii) information permitted by Rule 134 under the Securities Act or (iii) information that describes the final terms of the Offered Securities or their offering and that is included in the Final Term Sheet of the Company contemplated in Section 4(c). The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the Prospectus Delivery Period, such number of copies of any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request.

(e) Notice of Inability to Use Automatic Shelf Registration Statement Form. If at any time when the Company has been notified the Offered Securities remain unsold by the Underwriters the Company receives from the Commission a notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) or otherwise ceases to be eligible to use the automatic shelf registration statement form, the Company will (i) promptly notify the Representative, (ii) promptly file a new registration statement or post-effective amendment on the proper form relating to the Offered Securities, in a form satisfactory to the Representative, (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement or post-effective amendment to be declared effective and (iv) promptly notify the Representative of such effectiveness. The Company will take all other reasonable action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Offered Securities and Securities Guarantees to continue as contemplated in the registration statement that was the subject of the Rule 401(g)(2) notice or for which the Company has otherwise become ineligible. References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.

(f) Filing Fees. The Company agrees to pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Offered Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) of the Securities Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the Securities Act.

(g) Blue Sky Qualifications. The Company and the Significant Guarantors will endeavor, in cooperation with you, to qualify the Offered Securities for offering and sale under, or obtain exemptions from, the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the United States as the Underwriters may reasonably request, and will maintain such qualifications in effect for so long as may be required for the distribution of the Offered Securities; provided, that neither the Company nor the Significant Guarantors shall be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer or to subject itself to taxation as doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise required to be so qualified.

(h) Stand-Off Agreement. The Company and the Significant Guarantors will not, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Time, without your consent, offer or sell, or enter into any agreement to sell, any unsecured debt securities of the Company (other than the

11

Offered Securities which are to be sold pursuant hereto and commercial paper issued in the ordinary course of business).

(i) Earnings Statement. The Company will make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 16 months after the date hereof, an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the “Effective Date” (as defined in Rule 158 of the Securities Act) of the Registration Statement, and otherwise satisfying Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Securities Act.

Section 5. Payment of Expenses.

(a) The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including:

(i) the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits), the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, each as originally filed and of each amendment and supplement thereto;

(ii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Offered Securities;

(iii) the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Company’s accountants and counsel, of the Trustee and its counsel, and of any registrar, paying agent and authenticating agent;

(iv) the qualification of the Offered Securities under securities laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(g), including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of any Blue Sky Survey;

(v) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters in quantities as may be reasonably requested of copies of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto;

(vi) the preparation and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of this Agreement and the Indenture; and

(vii) any fees charged by rating agencies for the rating of the Offered Securities.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated by the Underwriters in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 (other than the provisions of Section 6(c)(iv)) or clause (i) of Section 10 hereof, the Company shall reimburse upon demand the Underwriters for all of their documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters, that shall have been reasonably incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Offered Securities and Securities Guarantees.

12

Section 7. Indemnification.

        (a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. Each of the Company and the Significant Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, its directors, officers and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or reasonable expense, as incurred, to which such Underwriter or such controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule C to the Underwriting Agreement, any other free writing prospectus that the parties hereto agree in writing to treat as part of the Disclosure Package, each Final Term Sheet or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and to reimburse each Underwriter, its affiliates, officers, directors and each such controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Underwriter, or its affiliates, officers, directors or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Significant Guarantors by the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnification agreement set

15

forth in this Section 7(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company and the Significant Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b) Indemnification of the Company, its Directors and Officers and the Guarantors. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Significant Guarantors, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Significant Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or reasonable expense, as incurred, to which the Company, each Significant Guarantor or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or reasonable expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Base Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Significant Guarantors by the Representative expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, each Guarantor or any such director, officer or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the Company, each Significant Guarantor or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any liability other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the

16

indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other than local counsel)), representing all the indemnified parties who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party or (iii) the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall otherwise agree.

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 7 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or reasonable expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 7(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

Section 8. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party as provided in Section 7, contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Significant Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)

17

above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Significant Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Significant Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Offered Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth on the front cover page of the Prospectus bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Offered Securities as set forth on such cover. The relative fault of the Company and the Significant Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Significant Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(c), any reasonable legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The Company, the Significant Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts received by such Underwriter in connection with the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement. For purposes of this Section 8, each affiliate, director and officer of an Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company and of each Significant Guarantor, each officer of the Company and of each Significant Guarantor who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Significant Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or such Significant Guarantor.

Section 9. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, or contained in

18

certificates of officers of the Company or any Significant Guarantor submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company or any Significant Guarantor, and shall survive each delivery of and payment for any of the Offered Securities.

Section 10. Termination of Agreement. The Representative may terminate this Agreement, immediately upon notice to the Company, at any time prior to the Closing Time if: (i) there has been, since the date hereof or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) there shall have occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis, the effect of which would, in your judgment, materially and adversely affect the ability of the Underwriters to market the Offered Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) trading in any securities of the Company shall have been suspended by the Commission or a national securities exchange, or if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, by said exchange or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a banking moratorium shall have been declared by either federal or New York authorities.

In the event of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10, the provisions of Section 5 hereof, the indemnity and contribution agreements set forth in Sections 7 and 8 hereof, and the provisions of Sections 9 and 14 hereof shall remain in effect.

Section 11. Default by One or More Underwriters. If any Underwriter shall fail at the Closing Time to purchase the Offered Securities which it is obligated to purchase hereunder (the “Defaulted Securities”), and the aggregate amount of Defaulted Securities is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of the Offered Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the amount of the Offered Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A to the Underwriting Agreement bears to the aggregate amount of Offered Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase the Defaulted Securities; provided that in no event shall the amount of Defaulted Securities that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased by an amount in excess of one-tenth of such amount of Offered Securities without the written consent of such Underwriter. If the aggregate amount of Defaulted Securities is more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of the Offered Securities to be purchased at the Closing Time, and arrangements satisfactory to the Underwriters and the Company for the purchase of such Defaulted Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default under this Agreement.

19

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.

All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed, delivered by Federal Express service or transmitted by any facsimile communication.

EXHIBIT A

Form of Opinion of the

Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company

(1) Each of the Company and each Significant Guarantor is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the corporate power and authority under such laws to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Each of the Company and each Significant Guarantor is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(2) Each subsidiary of the Company that is a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C of the Securities Act (each, a “Significant Subsidiary”) is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the corporate power and authority under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. To my knowledge, each Significant Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole. All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Significant Subsidiary has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable, and all of such capital stock, except for directors’ qualifying shares or other minimum share ownership as may be required by local law (except as otherwise stated in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus), is owned by the Company, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, free and clear, to my knowledge, of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or adverse claim of any third party.

(3) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each of the Significant Guarantors.

(4) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and each of the Significant Guarantors, and the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

(5) The Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. The Securities Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Significant Guarantors.

(6) The Securities, the Securities Guarantees and the Indenture conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(7) The Registration Statement and the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data therein, as to which I express no opinion), when they were filed with the Commission, were appropriately responsive in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in effect at the time such documents were so filed.

(8) The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company, and the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities Guarantees and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby by each of the Significant Guarantors, do not and will not:

(a) violate the charter or bylaws of the Company or of any Significant Guarantor as in effect on the date hereof;

(b) result in a breach of or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any properties or assets of the Company or any Significant Guarantor pursuant to, any contract, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any Significant Guarantor and filed as a material agreement by the Company as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, except for any breach, default, lien, charge or encumbrance that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on (i) the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of the Company or any Significant Guarantor to perform its respective obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities or the Securities Guarantees; or

(c) result in the violation of any presently applicable and published statute or regulation in effect on the date hereof or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency that names and is specifically directed to the Company or any Significant Guarantor binding upon the Company or any Significant Guarantor as of the date hereof, except any such violations that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on (i) the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of the Company or any Significant Guarantor to perform its respective obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities or the Securities Guarantees.

(9) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental or regulatory authority is required to be obtained or made by the Company or any Significant Guarantor for the valid authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities and the Securities Guarantees as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or for the authorization, execution and delivery by the Company and the Significant Guarantors of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture and the performance of their respective obligations thereunder, or for the consummation by the Company and the Significant Guarantors of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, except for the registration of the Securities and Securities Guarantees under the Securities Act, the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, the filing of the Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus and Final Term Sheets with the Commission pursuant to Rules 424 and 433 under the Securities Act, such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations and qualifications under applicable securities or Blue Sky laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States and such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations and qualifications the failure of which to obtain or make would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (a) the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole or (b) the ability of the Company or any Significant Guarantor to perform its respective obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities or the Securities Guarantees.

(10) The Registration Statement is effective under the Securities Act. To my knowledge: (a) no order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose are pending or threatened by the Commission; and (b) the Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) of the Securities Act objecting to the use of the automatic shelf registration statement form.

(11) To my knowledge, there are no contracts or other documents that are required under the Securities Act to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and that have not been so filed as exhibits to (or incorporated by reference into) the Registration Statement or described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

I hereby confirm to you that, except for the matters described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (as to all of which I express no confirmation or opinion at this time concerning the liability of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (if any) or the effect of any adverse determination upon the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole), there is no pending or, to my knowledge, overtly threatened in writing, action or proceeding against the Company or any subsidiary of the Company

before any court or administrative agency that individually (or in the aggregate in the case of any group of related lawsuits) is expected by the Company as of the date hereof to have a material adverse effect on (a) the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole or (b) the ability of the Company and the Significant Guarantors to perform their respective obligations under the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities or the Securities Guarantees.

In addition, I or attorneys under my supervision have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and the Significant Guarantors, representatives of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and representatives of the Underwriters at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and any amendments or supplements thereto, and related matters were discussed and, although I am not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (other than as specified above), on the basis of the foregoing, nothing has come to my attention that would lead me to believe that: (i) the Registration Statement, at the time the Registration Statement became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the Prospectus, as of its date or at the Closing Time contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that I express no belief as to (a) the financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any amendments or supplements thereto or (b) that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act).

EXHIBIT B

Form of Opinion of the

Vice President and General Counsel of FedEx Freight East, Inc.

(1) Freight East is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Arkansas and has the corporate power and authority under such laws to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. Freight East is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, property, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(2) Each of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Freight East Guarantee has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by Freight East.

(3) The execution and delivery by Freight East of each of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Freight East Guarantee and the consummation by Freight East of the transactions contemplated thereby do not, and the performance by Freight East of its obligations thereunder will not, result in a violation of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Freight East as in effect on the date hereof.

EXHIBIT C

Form of Opinion of

Special Counsel to the Company

(1) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Guarantors and (assuming the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and equitable principles of general applicability.

(2) The Offered Securities and the Securities Guarantees are in due and proper form and have been duly authorized by the Company and the Significant Guarantors and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles of general applicability; and each holder of Offered Securities and Securities Guarantees will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided.

Where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.

If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of the Board Resolution shall be delivered to the Trustee at the same time as or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

Notwithstanding any contrary terms of this Section 3.01, the terms of the Securities of any series may provide, without limitation, that the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon telephonic or written order of persons designated in the Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture (telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such person) and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such Officers’ Certificate or any applicable supplemental indenture, such terms and conditions of the Securities of such series as are specified in such Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided by the Company, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional

20

Securities of such series or to establish additional terms of such series of Securities.

SECTION 3.02. Denominations. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities shall be payable in Dollars. The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in fully registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified pursuant to Section 3.01. In the absence of any such provision with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Securities not denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture.

SECTION 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, President or any Vice President, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were the proper officers of the Company when their signatures were affixed to such Securities shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with the Guarantees of the Guarantors endorsed thereon, executed by the Company and the Guarantors to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities with the Guarantees endorsed thereon, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or indentures supplemental hereto as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, upon request, and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(a) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

(i) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

21

(ii) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(iii) this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and

(iv) that such Securities and the Guarantees of the Guarantors endorsed thereon, when such Securities have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and subject to any other conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and will entitle the Holders thereof to the benefits of this Indenture; and

(b) an Officers’ Certificate stating that, to the best knowledge of the person executing such certificate, no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel, Officers’ Certificate or Company Order otherwise required hereunder at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the time of authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by, or on behalf of, the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature of one of its authorized signatories. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as

22

provided in Section 3.09 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall not be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate any Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights (including rights to be indemnified), duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

SECTION 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series and the Guarantees, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee, and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the manner provided in Section 3.03, temporary Securities with the Guarantees endorsed thereon which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of such series in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form.

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of any temporary Securities. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series.

SECTION 3.05. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

23

The Company shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for any series of Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall be effective until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities shall have been appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment by the Company. In the event that the Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times. There shall be only one Security Register and one Security Registrar for each series of Securities.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and containing identical terms and provisions.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions in any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities, with the Guarantees endorsed thereon, which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Securities and Guarantees endorsed thereon issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities with Guarantees of the Guarantors endorsed thereon shall be the respective valid obligations of the Company and the respective Guarantors, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and Guarantees endorsed thereon surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15

24

days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to the Depositary or a nominee thereof or a custodian therefor (including the Trustee), and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

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

A Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, any Global Security of any series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities only if: (a) such Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depositary with respect to such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary with respect to such Global Security ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after receipt of such notice or after it becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, or (b) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order providing that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable and the transfer thereof so registrable.

If the beneficial owners of interests in a Global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities as the result of an event described in the preceding sentence, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the

25

Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities with the Guarantees endorsed thereon in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the Depositary and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depositary (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities with the Guarantees endorsed thereon as described above without charge.

The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor with the Guarantees endorsed thereon as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date.

Promptly following any such exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depositary in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the office or agency for such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee such indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and

26

deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series with the Guarantees endorsed thereon containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security of any series and Guarantee issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company and the respective Guarantors, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series and Guarantees duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Indenture, are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

SECTION 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Person in whose name the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on

27

a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment. Such money when deposited will be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) at the Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii).

(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest on Securities may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

28

SECTION 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company, a Guarantor or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

SECTION 3.09. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and any such Securities, as well as Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever and may deliver to the Trustee (or to an Authenticating Agent for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.

SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and interest on the Securities of any series for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the number of days elapsed in any partial month.

29

SECTION 3.11. Paying Agent. Any Paying Agents will be identified in accordance with Section 3.01, except for the Trustee, who has been appointed as Paying Agent for the Securities as provided in the definition of “Paying Agent” contained in Section 1.01. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent; however, the Company at all times is required to maintain a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment for each series of Securities.

SECTION 3.12. 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 that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of 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. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE 4

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 4.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities), and the Trustee on receipt of the Company Request, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when:

and the Company, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such Securities have been complied with.

In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any series, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (i) of this Section, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 4.02 and 10.02 and the last paragraph of Section 10.03, and the obligation to pay Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.06 (but only to the extent that any Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii)), shall survive.

SECTION 4.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 or Article 13 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of the series for which such deposit was made and this Indenture, to the payment, either

31

directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money and Government Obligations has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money and Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(g) any other Event of Default provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to Securities of such series.

SECTION 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of such series (or, if any Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.

33

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for the payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to all Securities of such series;

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by the Securities of such series and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto;

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(ii) all Events of Default with respect to the Securities of such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of such series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

(i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Securities, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto, when such interest or Additional Amounts become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Securities at the Maturity thereof,

34

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest or Additional Amounts, at the rate or rates borne by such Securities and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts owing to the Trustee under Section 6.07.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sum so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series by such judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem appropriate to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount (or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series) of principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

35

(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

SECTION 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 5.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts on the Securities of such series in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for

36

principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and

THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or as directed by order of an arbitrator, court or governmental agency.

SECTION 5.07. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series;

(ii) the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably acceptable to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceedings; and

(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

SECTION 5.08. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, any premium and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of

37

any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that:

(i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or with such Securities;

(ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; and

(iii) subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.03, the Trustee need not take any action that the Trustee determines in good faith would be prejudicial to the Holders of such series not consenting, would

38

involve the Trustee in personal liability or would adversely affect its rights to be indemnified hereunder.

SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default:

(i) in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series, or

(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist with respect to such series, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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 to be taken by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will 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, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Company and the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any

39

power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 6

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

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

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct; except that:

(i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;

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

40

exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and

(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

42

Company or by any Holder in accordance with the provisions hereof and such notice references the Securities of such series and this Indenture.

SECTION 6.04. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or the Guarantees, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate in all material respects, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 6.05. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 6.06. Money Held in Trust. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

SECTION 6.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

(i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in such amounts as the Company and the Trustee shall agree in writing from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and

43

(iii) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was due to the Trustee’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity under this Section 6.07. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.

The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent.

If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or (f), the expenses so incurred and the compensation for services so rendered are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

If such Corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

SECTION 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11 and of the Trust Indenture Act.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by the Company or by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee, and to the Company in the case of an Act of the Holders.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section 6.08 with respect to the Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months;

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or

45

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by or pursuant to a Company Order, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or the Securities of such series, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of 75% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the

46

Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which,

(i) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, such successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates,

(ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and

(iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee,

it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

Upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent

47

provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

SECTION 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to or purchasing all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such Corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 6.13. Preferential Claims. Reference is made to Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). For purposes of Section 311(b)(4) and (6) of such Act:

(i) “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is required to be made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and

(ii) “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company (or any such obligor) for the purpose of financing the

48

purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company (or any such obligor) arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

SECTION 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issuance and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a Corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any Corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided that such Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

49

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect to one or more series pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Delivery of any such reports, information and documents by the Company (or any Guarantor) 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).

ARTICLE 10

COVENANTS

SECTION 10.01. Payment of Principal and Any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

SECTION 10.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities of such series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company hereby designates as the Place of Payment for each series of Securities the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, and the Company initially appoints the Trustee, acting through its Corporate Trust Office, as its agent for said purpose. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.01, if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent.

57

SECTION 10.03. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture;

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or received by the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.09) in respect of Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee (or such other trustee) pursuant to Section 13.04, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust. The Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may publish, at the Company’s expense, in the English language, in a newspaper customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the City of New York, New York, or to be mailed to such Holder, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the earlier of the date of such publication or such mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 10.04. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 8, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Company to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business.

SECTION 10.05. Statement as to Default. If any Securities are Outstanding under this Indenture, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate stating as to whether or not to such officer’s knowledge the Company is in compliance (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice) with all conditions and covenants of this Indenture. The officer executing such certificate shall be the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer and such certificate need not comply with Section 1.02 of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.06. Additional Amounts. If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Security Additional Amounts as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or such Securities. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to

59

such terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of the applicable series, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities (or if the Securities of such series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of such series shall be made to Holders of Securities of such series who are United States aliens (as demonstrated by delivery of appropriate tax forms) without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of such series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities, and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities.

SECTION 10.07. Application of Proceeds upon Release of a 10% Subsidiary Guarantor. The Company will not enter into any transaction which would result in the release pursuant to Section 12.04(a) of the Guarantee of any Guarantor which would be a 10% Subsidiary Guarantor on the date such Guarantee is released, unless at least 75% of the proceeds from such transaction consist of any combination of: (i) cash (including assumption by the acquiror of any Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries) or Readily Marketable Securities, (ii) property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or type similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries existing on the date such transaction is consummated and (iii) interests in Persons or businesses having property or assets or engaged in businesses similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets or businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date such transaction is consummated. In the event that the net proceeds from the sale or other disposition of a 10% Subsidiary Guarantor consist of cash or Readily Marketable Securities, the Company shall apply, within 12 months of the consummation of such sale or other disposition, an amount equal to 100% of the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of such net proceeds to (i) repay unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, in each case owing to a Person other than an Affiliate of the Company, (ii) invest in property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or type similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries existing on the date of such investment or (iii) invest in a Person or business

SECTION 10.08. Waiver of Certain Covenants. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 3.01(xvi), 9.01(b) or 9.01(j) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in Section 10.04, if the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE 11

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 11.01. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article 11.

SECTION 11.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Company Order or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

SECTION 11.03. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date

61

by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 11.04. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the Holder’s address appearing in the Security Register. If mailed in the manner herein provided, such notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Securities designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the

62

identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed;

(iv) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date;

(v) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

(vi) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case;

(vii) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed; and

(viii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.12, the CUSIP number, if any, of the Securities to be redeemed.

Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, on Company Request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 11.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 11.06. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,

63

registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular or Special Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security.

SECTION 11.07. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Company at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

If a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depositary, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.

ARTICLE 12

GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES

SECTION 12.01. Unconditional Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors hereby fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities will be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise, and (to the extent permitted by law) interest on the overdue principal, premium and interest, if any, on the Securities and all other obligations of the Company or the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including fees, expenses or other) and all other obligations under this Indenture or the Securities will be duly and punctually paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations under this Indenture or the Securities or any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect thereof, or waiver of or consent to any departure from any other agreement relating to any obligations under this Indenture or the Securities, the same will be duly and punctually paid in full when due or performed in

64

accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Company to the Holders, for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Securities shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee and shall entitle the Holders of Securities to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, termination, defense, offset, counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever (all of which are expressly hereby waived by the Guarantors) whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, or by reason of any liability at any time to any Guarantor or otherwise, whether based upon any obligations or any other agreement or otherwise, and howsoever arising, whether out of action or inaction or otherwise and whether resulting from default, willful misconduct, negligence or otherwise, and without limiting the foregoing, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from or failure to enforce any other guarantee, for all or any of the Securities or other obligations under this Indenture, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Security, any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution, or any other proceeding of the Company, or any Guarantor, including rejection of any Guarantee in such bankruptcy or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

Each Guarantor hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and this Guarantee. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or to the Guarantors, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Securities and the Trustee, on the other hand (a) subject to this Article 12, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 hereof

65

for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 5 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee.

SECTION 12.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall execute a Guarantee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and that a notation of such Guarantee shall be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee.

If an officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Security shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

SECTION 12.03. Future Guarantors. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall cause each Person that becomes a Guarantor hereunder after the date hereof to execute and deliver to the Trustee an indenture supplemental hereto, substantially in the form of Schedule II attached hereto, evidencing the same.

SECTION 12.04. Release of a Guarantor. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.07, upon the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (by merger or otherwise), other than a lease, of a Guarantor, or of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, or all, or substantially all, the assets of a Guarantor, to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, such Guarantor shall be deemed to be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all its obligations under its Guarantee and under this Article 12 without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release and discharge upon receipt of a Company Request accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section 12.04(a).

(b) The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, cause any Guarantor (other than any Specified Guarantor) to be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all its obligations under its Guarantee and under this Article 12 upon delivery by the Company to

66

the Trustee of a Company Order relating to such release and discharge. The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release and discharge upon receipt of a Company Request accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section 12.04(b).

SECTION 12.05. Waiver of Subrogation. Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Securities are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Securities or this Indenture and such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Securities under the Securities, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in the trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Securities, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied to the Securities, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 12.05 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 12.06. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent Regarding Dissolution, Etc. of Guarantors. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor referred to in this Article 12, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, and the Holders, shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12.

SECTION 12.07. Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder,

67

hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Holder and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, will result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 12.08. Obligations Reinstated. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or such Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Company is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein.

SECTION 12.09. No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company. Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the obligations under this Indenture or against the Company or any other Person or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any Guarantor of its liabilities and obligations under its Guarantee or under this Indenture.

ARTICLE 13

SECTION 13.01. Applicability of Article; Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. If pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 13.02 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 13.03 to apply to Securities of such series, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article 13 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option, at any time, with respect to such Securities, elect to have either Section 13.02 (if applicable) or Section 13.03

68

(if applicable) be applied to such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 13.

SECTION 13.02. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section 13.02 applied to any Securities of or within a series, as the case may be, the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”).

For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities when such payments are due, and any rights of such Holder to convert or exchange such Securities for other securities or property;

(b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 6.07, 10.02, 10.03 and 10.06 (but only to the extent that any Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 13.04(a) below);

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; and

(d) this Article 13.

Subject to compliance with this Article 13, the Company may exercise its option (if any) under this Section 13.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) under Section 13.03 with respect to such Securities.

SECTION 13.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section 13.03 applied to any Securities of or within a series, as the case may be, the Company and the Guarantors shall be released from their respective obligations provided pursuant to Section 3.01(xvi), 9.01(b) or 9.01(j) or under Sections 8.01, 10.05, 10.07, 12.05, 5.01(d) (as to Sections 8.01, 10.05 and 10.07), 5.01(e), 5.01(f) and 5.01(g) (if Section 5.01(g) is specified as applicable to such Securities) with respect to such Outstanding Securities on

69

and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”).

For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. Following a covenant defeasance, payment of such Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified above in this Section 13.03.

SECTION 13.04. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 13.02 or Section 13.03 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series:

(a) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.09 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article 13 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (1) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not later than one day before the due date of any payment referred to below, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, without reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installments of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. Before such a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of any Securities of or within a series at a future date in accordance with any redemption provisions contained in the supplemental indenture relating to such series of Securities, which shall be given effect in applying the foregoing.

(b) No Event of Default or event with which notice of lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and, with respect to defeasance only, at any time during the period ending on the 123rd day after the

70

date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

(c) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all such Securities are in default within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act).

(d) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

(f) In the case of an election under Section 13.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this instrument there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities 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.

(g) In the case of an election under Section 13.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant 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 covenant defeasance had not occurred.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.01.

(i) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to either the defeasance under Section 13.02 or the covenant defeasance under Section 13.03 (as the case may be) have been complied with.

SECTION 13.05. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying

71

trustee—collectively, solely for purposes of this Section, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security, if after a deposit referred in Section 13.04 has been made, (a) a Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.01 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a Currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 13.04 has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 13.04 has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market exchange rate for such Currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate for such Foreign Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities.

Anything in this Article 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance.

SECTION 13.06. Acknowledgement of Discharge by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.07 below and after the Company has delivered to the

72

Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that conditions precedent referred to in Section 13.04 relating to the defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with, the Trustee upon request of the Company shall acknowledge in writing the defeasance or the covenant defeasance, as the case may be.

SECTION 13.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company and the Guarantors have been discharged or released pursuant to Section 13.02 or 13.03 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 13.05 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Securities following reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights, if any, of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

SECTION 13.08. Qualifying Trustee. Any trustee appointed pursuant to Section 13.05 for the purpose of holding trust funds deposited pursuant to that Section shall be appointed under an agreement in form acceptable to the Trustee and shall provide to the Trustee a certificate of such trustee, upon which certificate the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely, that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the related defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee.

ARTICLE 14

SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 14.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 14.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the

73

redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series and this Indenture.

SECTION 14.02. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company may (a) deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption) and (b) apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that such Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 14.03. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for such series pursuant to the terms of such series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 14.02, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not previously delivered. Not less than 45 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07.

ARTICLE 15

SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

SECTION 15.01. Applicability of Article. Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the determination of any of the rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are denominated in the same Currency, or (ii) any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any provision to the contrary in this Indenture or the Securities, any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a Currency other than Dollars shall be treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that could be

74

obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with respect to Securities of such series (if any) for such action, determination of rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such action, determination of rights or distribution) as the Company may specify in a written notice to the Trustee or, in the absence of such written notice, as the Trustee may determine.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of FedEx Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have acted as such in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the offering from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act, by the Company of the following securities:

(i) the Company’s debt securities (the “Debt Securities”), together with the guarantees thereof by the guarantors described in the Registration Statement (the “Guarantors”), to be issued in one or more series pursuant to an indenture (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) to be entered into among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee; and

(ii) the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”).

In connection with the opinions expressed below, I have examined, or caused to be examined by attorneys under my supervision, originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Restated Bylaws, and such agreements, documents, certificates and statements of government officials and other papers as I have deemed necessary or advisable as a basis for such opinions. In such examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In making our examination of executed documents and documents to be executed, I have assumed (i) that the parties thereto (other than the Company) had or will have the power, corporate or otherwise, and authority to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder, (ii) the due

delivery by such parties of such documents and (iii) that such documents constitute or will constitute valid and binding obligations of such parties. I also have assumed that any stock certificates evidencing Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement will be duly executed and delivered and will conform to the specimen certificate to be filed with the Commission as Exhibit 4.6 to the Registration Statement, which I, or attorneys under my supervision, have examined. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein, which I have not independently established or verified, I have relied upon statements and representations of officers and representatives of the Company.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, it is my opinion that, with respect to the Common Stock, when:

(a) all necessary corporate action to approve the issuance of and the terms of the offering of the shares of Common Stock and related matters has been taken; and

(b) the shares of Common Stock have been issued and delivered either (i) in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement against receipt of the requisite consideration therefor provided for therein, or (ii) upon conversion or exchange of any of the Debt Securities, in accordance with the terms of such Debt Securities and the Indenture,

the shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; provided that the consideration therefor is not less than the par value of the Common Stock.

In connection with the opinions expressed above, I have assumed that at or prior to the time of the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock under the Registration Statement, (i) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), and any additional registration statement filed under Rule 462 under the Securities Act will have become effective and such effectiveness will not have been terminated or rescinded; (ii) an appropriate supplement to the Prospectus with respect to the Common Stock will have been prepared, delivered and filed with the Commission in compliance with the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) the Company will have sufficient authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock; (iv) the authorization applicable to such Common Stock will not have been modified or rescinded; and (v) there shall not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity of such Common Stock. I also have assumed that neither the issuance and delivery of the Common Stock, nor the compliance by the Company with the terms of the Common Stock or the offering thereof will violate any applicable law or will result in a violation of any provision of any instrument or agreement then binding upon the Company, or any restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.

I do not find it necessary for purposes of this opinion and, accordingly, do not purport to cover herein the application of the Securities Act or “Blue Sky” or securities laws and regulations of the various states and other jurisdictions of the United States to the sales of Common Stock under the Registration Statement.

2

I am qualified to practice law in the State of Tennessee and I do not purport to be an expert on, or to express any opinion herein concerning, any laws other than the laws of the State of Tennessee, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal securities laws of the United States.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to me under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus and in any subsequently filed supplements to the Prospectus. In giving such consent, I do not admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

This opinion is delivered to you solely for your use in connection with the above-referenced matter and may not be used for any other purpose, and may not be relied upon by any other person, in each case without my prior written consent. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof and I undertake no, and disclaim any, obligation to advise you (or any third party) of any subsequent change in or development of law or fact that might affect the matters, conclusions, statements or opinions set forth herein.

Sincerely,

FedEx Corporation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to FedEx Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), filed on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the registration of the sale from time to time of the Company’s (i) shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, (ii) senior debt securities (the “Debt Securities”) that shall be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of Federal Express Corporation, FedEx Ground Package System, Inc., FedEx Freight Corporation, FedEx Freight East, Inc., FedEx Kinko’s Office and Print Services, Inc., FedEx Corporate Services, Inc., FedEx Customer Information Services, Inc., Federal Express Europe, Inc., Federal Express Holdings S.A. and Federal Express International, Inc. (collectively, the “Guarantors”), and (iii) guarantees of debt securities (the “Guarantees”) by the Guarantors. The Debt Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture among the Company, the Guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as may be supplemented or amended from time to time (the “Indenture”).

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion.

Upon the basis of the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
