Section 2.2 The Indenture is hereby amended by adding a new ARTICLE FIFTEEN as set forth herein:

(1) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article Fifteen to the contrary, the provisions of this Article Fifteen shall be applicable only to, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Initial Notes.

(2) For value received, the Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees (the “Guarantee”) to the Holders and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of

the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Initial Notes and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Initial Notes by the Company (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in connection with the enforcement of this Indenture as it relates to the Initial Notes and the Guarantee), when and as such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and when and as such other amounts shall become due and payable, according to the terms of the Initial Notes and this Indenture, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1503.

(3) Failing payment when due of any amount guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee, for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately to the Trustee, without set off or counterclaim or other reduction whatsoever (whether for taxes, withholding or otherwise). The Guarantee hereunder is intended to be a general, unsecured, senior obligation of the Guarantor and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all debt of the Guarantor that is not, by its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee, and is intended to be a guarantee of payment and not of collection. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be full, unconditional and absolute, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Initial Notes, the Guarantee or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Initial Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, or any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that in the event of a default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Initial Notes, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders on the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against the Guarantor to enforce the Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company.

(4) The obligations of the Guarantor under this Article Fifteen shall be as aforesaid full, unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension, indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Company contained in the Initial Notes or this Indenture, (B) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the liability of the Company, or of its estate in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (C) the assertion or exercise by the Company or the Trustee of any rights or remedies under the Initial Notes or this Indenture or their delay in or failure to assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (D) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for the Initial Notes, including all or any part of the rights of the Company under this Indenture, (E) the extension of the time for payment by the Company of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of the Initial Notes or this Indenture or of the time for performance by the Company of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof,

(F) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Company or the Guarantor set forth in this Indenture, (G) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Company or any of its assets, or the disaffirmance of the Initial Notes or this Indenture in any such proceeding, (H) the release or discharge of the Company from the performance or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (I) the unenforceability of the Initial Notes or this Indenture or (J) any other circumstances (other than payment in full or discharge of all amounts guaranteed pursuant to the Guarantee) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.

(5) The Guarantor hereby (A) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, and all demands whatsoever, (B) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Guarantee without notice to it and (C) covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guarantee. The Guarantor further agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to the Guarantee is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, the Guarantee shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and the Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made.

(6) The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders and the Trustee against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, provided, however, that the Guarantor, shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all of the Initial Notes and the Guarantee shall have been paid in full or discharged.

To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 1501, the Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation relating to such Guarantee, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A, shall be endorsed on each Initial Note entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the general partner of the Guarantor, or an officer of the general partner of the general partner of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in Section 1501 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Initial Note a notation relating to the Guarantee. If any officer of the general partner of the Guarantor (or an officer of the general partner of the general partner), whose signature is on this Indenture or an Initial Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Initial Note or at any time thereafter, the Guarantee of such Initial Note shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Initial Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.

The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

The Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder of an Initial Note entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by the Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders of an Initial Note entitled to the benefits of the Guarantee and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor, not result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or state law.

(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Guarantee of the Guarantor may be released upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 401 and in this Section 1504. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Indenture, the Guarantee incurred by the Guarantor pursuant to this Article Fifteen shall be unconditionally released and discharged (A) following delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee to the effect that such release or discharge has occurred pursuant to the terms and conditions of any series of Initial Notes covered by such Guarantee, or (B) automatically upon (i) any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise, to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, of all of the Company’s direct or indirect limited partnership or other equity interests in the Guarantor (provided such sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Indenture) or (ii) the merger of such Guarantor into the Company or the liquidation and dissolution of the Guarantor (to the extent such liquidation or dissolution is expressly permitted) by this Indenture or the applicable Initial Notes).

(2) The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any release of the Guarantor from the Guarantee upon receipt of a written request of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Guarantor is entitled to such release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 3.1 The Guarantor hereby agrees to guarantee the Initial Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture.

(a) a term defined in the Indenture has the same meaning when used in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that, where a term is defined both in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and in the Indenture, the meaning given to such term in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture shall control for purposes of (i) this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and (ii) in respect of the Initial Notes, but not any other series of Securities;

(b) a term defined anywhere in this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture has the same meaning throughout (i) this Twelfth Supplemental Indenture and (ii) in respect of the Initial Notes, but not any other series of Securities; and

Section 4.2 Amendment and Restatement of Section 102 of the Indenture. For purposes of the Initial Notes only, and not for purposes of any other Securities, Section 102 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Upon any application or request by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company or the Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as may be required under the Trust Indenture Act. Each such certificate or opinion shall be given in the form of an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel and shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and any other requirements set forth in this Indenture.

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include;

Section 4.3 Amendment and Restatement of Section 103 of the Indenture. For purposes of the Initial Notes only, and not for purposes of any other Securities, Section 103 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the general partner of the Company, the General Partner or the Guarantor may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, infosfar as it relates to factual matters, upon a

certificate or opinion, or representations by, an Officer or Officers of the general partner of the Company, the General Partner or the Guarantor stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company or the Guarantor, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at the request of the Company or the Guarantor which could not have been taken had the original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company or Guarantor entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid.

Section 4.4 Amendment and Restatement of Section 104 of the Indenture. For purposes of the Initial Notes only, and not for purposes of any other Securities, Section 104 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company or the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series; provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take or revoke the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction or to revoke the

same, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be sent to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

Section 4.5 Amendment and Restatement of Section 105 of the Indenture. For purposes of the Initial Notes only, and not for purposes of any other Securities, Section 105 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(2) the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, Attention: Treasurer, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company or the Guarantor.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

Section 4.6 Amendment and Restatement of Section 308 of the Indenture. For purposes of the Initial Notes only, and not for purposes of any other Securities, Section 308 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of the Company or the Guarantor in this Indenture (other than a covenant a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee and, if applicable, the Guarantor by the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, unless the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders of a principal amount of Securities of such series not less than the principal amount of Securities the Holders of which gave such notice, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its expiration; provided, however, that the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders of such principal amount of Securities of such series, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period if corrective action is initiated by the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor within such period and is being diligently pursued; or

(5) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or the Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any

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 payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Event of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if
