		otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
		instrument or instruments (including any appointment of an agent) is or are
		delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
		Company. 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

		officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the
		individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the
		execution thereof. Where such execution is by a Person acting in other than his

		sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution by
		any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person
		executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee
		deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee
		may determine.

(c) The ownership of Securities shall be
		proved by the Securities Register.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization,
		direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by 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 or suffered to be done
		by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
		such action is made upon such Security.

(e) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder
		entitled 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.

(f) Except as set forth in paragraph (g) of
		thisSection 1.4, the Company may set any day as a record date for the
		purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities 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. If any record date is set pursuant to
		this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and
		no other Holders, shall be entitled to take 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 (as defined inSection 1.4(h))
		by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities 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 canceled
		and of no effect). 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 in the manner
		set forth inSection 1.6.

(g) The Trustee may set any day as a record
		date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities
		entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any
		declaration of acceleration or rescission or annulment thereof referred to inSection 5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to
		inSection 5.7(b) or (iv) any direction referred to inSection 5.12. If
		any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
		Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join
		in such notice, declaration, request or direction, 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 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 canceled and of no effect). 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 given to the Company in writing and to
		each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth inSection 1.6.

(h) With respect to any record date set
		pursuant to paragraph (f) or (g) of thisSection 1.4, the
		party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the
		Expiration Date



12



---



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 in the manner set forth inSection 1.6, on
		or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not
		designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to thisSection 1.4, the
		party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially
		designated the ninetieth (90th) 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 one hundred eightieth
		(180th) day after the applicable record date.

SECTION 1.5.Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company.

Any request, demand, authorization,
		direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Holders, or other document provided

		with:

(a) the Trustee by any Holder or the Company
		shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
		filed in writing to or with and received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
		Office, or

		prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event to the address of such Holder as
		it appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date (if any),
		and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of
		such notice. If, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular
		mail service or for any other reason, it shall be impossible or impracticable
		to mail notice of any event to Holders when said notice is required to be given
		pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such
		notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a
		sufficient giving of such notice. 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. Where this Indenture 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. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the
		Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
		any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

		holder upon said provisions.

		hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual signature, this Security
		shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
		obligatory for any purpose.

		dated as of April 17, 2007 (the Indenture), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
		as Trustee (in such capacity, the Trustee,
		which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which
		Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for
		a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
		immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Debt
		and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities

		conditions ofArticle XIof the Indenture, redeem this Security in whole at any
		time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred

		the continuation of a Special Event, the Company may, at its option, upon not

		principal amount of the Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also contains
		provisions permitting Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of
		the Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance
		by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
		defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver
		by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder
		and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon
		the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
		whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
		Security.

ARTICLE III

THE SECURITIES

SECTION 3.1.Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) The unpaid principal amount of the
		Securities shall bear interest at a variable rate equal to 3-month EURIBOR plus
		2.60% per annum (the Variable
		Rate) until paid or duly provided
		for, such interest to accrue from the Original Issue Date or from the most
		recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided
		for, and any overdue principal, premium, if any, and any overdue installment of
		interest shall bear Additional Interest at the Variable Rate compounded
		quarterly, from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or funds for
		the payment thereof are made legally available for payment.

(b) Interest and Additional Interest on any
		Security that 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, except that interest and any
		Additional Interest payable on the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal
		repayment upon early maturity) of the principal of a Security or on a
		Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The
		initial payment of interest on any Security that is issued between a Regular
		Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided
		in such Security.

(c) Any interest on any Security that is due
		and payable, but is not timely paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
		Payment Date for Securities (herein called Defaulted Interest) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
		registered 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 paragraph (i) or (ii) below:

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of
		any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their
		respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a
		special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a
		Special Record
		Date), which shall be fixed in
		the following manner. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the
		proposed payment, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount
		of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid



22



---



on each Security 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 to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
		entitled to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special
		Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more
		than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the
		proposed payment and not less than ten (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 a Security at the address of such
		Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less than ten (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 (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such
		Special Record Date; or

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

(d) Payments of interest on the Securities
		shall include interest accrued to but excluding the respective Interest Payment
		Dates. The amount of interest payable for any Interest Payment Date shall be
		computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed
		in the relevant interest period.

(e) Payment of principal of, premium, if
		any, and interest on the Securities shall be made in Euros or such coin or
		currency of the European Union as at the time of payment is legal tender for
		payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any,
		and interest due at the Maturity of such Securities shall be made at the Place
		of Payment upon surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent and payments
		of interest shall be made subject to such surrender where applicable, by wire
		transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in the
		United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten
		(10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto
		unless proper written transfer instructions have not been received by the
		relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be made by check mailed
		to the address of such Person as such address shall appear in the Security
		Register.

(f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree
		that the Holders of the Securities have certain rights to direct the Company to
		modify the Interest Payment Dates and corresponding Redemption Date and Stated
		Maturity of the Securities or a portion of the Securities pursuant to the
		Purchase Agreement. In the event any such modifications are made to the
		Securities or a



23



---



portion of the Securities, appropriate
		changes to the form of Security set forth in Article II hereof shall be made
		prior to the issuance and authentication of new or replacement Securities. Any
		such modification of the Interest Payment Date and corresponding Redemption
		Date and Stated Maturity with respect to any Securities or tranche of
		Securities shall not require or be subject to the consent of the
		Trustee.

(g) Subject to the foregoing provisions of
		thisSection 3.1, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon
		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, that were carried by such
		other Security.

SECTION 3.2.Denominations.

The Securities shall be in registered form
		without coupons and shall be issuable in minimum denominations of 100,000
		and any integral multiple of 1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 3.3.Execution, Authentication, Delivery and
		Dating.

(a) At any time and from time to time after
		the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver
		Securities in an aggregate principal amount (including all then Outstanding
		Securities) not in excess of Thirty Million Euros (30,000,000) executed
		by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order
		for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in
		accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
		Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
		responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
		Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying
		upon:

(i) a copy of any Board Resolution relating
		thereto; and

(ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that: (1)
		such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by
		the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such
		Opinion of Counsel, will constitute, and the Indenture constitutes, valid and
		legally binding obligations of the Company, each enforceable in accordance with
		its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
		reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating
		to or affecting creditors rights and to general equity principles; (2)

		Trust Indenture Act.

(b) The Securities shall be executed on
		behalf of the Company by a duly authorized officer of the Company. 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 at any time the proper officers of the Company 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.



24



---



(c) 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 the Trustee by the manual signature of
		one of its authorized signatories, and 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 provided inSection 3.8, for
		all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been
		authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
		benefits of this Indenture.

(d) Each Security shall be dated the date of
		its authentication.

SECTION 3.4.Global Securities.

(a) Upon the election of the Holder after
		the Original Issue Date, which election need not be in writing, the Securities
		owned by such Holder shall be issued in the form of one or more Global
		Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Each Global
		Security issued under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the
		Depositary designated by the Company for such Global Security or a nominee
		thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian
		therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for
		all purposes of this Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in
		this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for
		registered Securities, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part
		may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such
		Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the
		Trustee and the Company in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or
		able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to
		such Global Security, and no qualified successor is appointed by the Company
		within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Company of such notice, (ii) such
		Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and
		no successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after
		obtaining knowledge of such event, (iii) the Company executes and delivers to
		the Trustee a Company Order stating that the Company elects to terminate the
		book-entry system through the Depositary or (iv) an Event of Default shall have
		occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in
		clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Trustee shall notify the Depositary
		and instruct the Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial interests in
		such Global Security of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of
		Securities to such owners of beneficial interests requesting the same. The
		Trustee may conclusively rely, and be protected in relying, upon the written
		identification of the owners of beneficial interests furnished by the
		Depositary, and shall not be liable for any delay resulting from a delay by the
		Depositary. Upon the issuance of such Securities and the registration in the
		Securities Register of such Securities in the names of the Holders of the
		beneficial interests therein, the Trustee shall recognize such holders of
		beneficial interests as Holders.

(c) If any Global Security is to be
		exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is
		to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global
		Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for
		exchange or



25



---



cancellation as provided in thisArticle IIIor (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced
		or increased by an amount equal to (x) the portion thereof to be so exchanged
		or canceled, or (y) the principal amount of such other Security to be so
		exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an
		appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar,
		whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depositary Procedures,
		shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a
		corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment
		of a Global Security by the Depositary, accompanied by registration
		instructions, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a
		Company Order authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for
		such Global Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the
		instructions of the Depositary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay
		in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
		fully protected in relying on, such instructions.

(d) Every Security authenticated and
		delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a
		Global Security or any portion thereof shall be authenticated and delivered in
		the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is
		registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global
		Security or a nominee thereof.

(e) Reserved.

(f) The Depositary or its nominee, as the
		registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global
		Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners
		of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant
		to the Applicable Depositary Procedures. Accordingly, any such owners
		beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be shown only on, and the
		transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by
		the Depositary or its nominee or its Depositary Participants. The Securities
		Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all
		purposes of this Indenture relating to a Global Security (including the payment
		of principal and interest thereon and the giving of instructions or directions
		by owners of beneficial interests therein and the giving of notices) as the
		sole Holder of the Security and shall have no obligations to the owners of
		beneficial interests therein. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar
		shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the
		Depositary.

(g) The rights of owners of beneficial
		interests in a Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary
		and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
		owners and the Depositary and/or its Depositary Participants.

(h) 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 Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
		Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None
		of the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee 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 maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
		beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
		shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the
		Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
		authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and
		such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of



26



---



customary practices governing the exercise
		of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any
		Security.

		Generally.

(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at
		the Corporate Trust Office a register (the Securities Register) in which the registrar and transfer agent with
		respect to the Securities (the Securities Registrar), subject to such reasonable regulations as it

		transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee shall at all times also be
		the Securities Registrar. The provisions ofArticle VIshall

		transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations of like
		tenor and aggregate principal amount.

		may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations, of like
		tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be

		for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of
		a Company Order authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making
		the exchange is entitled to receive.

(d) All Securities issued upon any transfer
		or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company,
		evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this
		Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

		for transfer or 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 Securities Registrar, duly executed by the
		Holder thereof or such Holders attorney duly authorized in
		writing.

(f) No service charge shall be made to a
		Holder for any 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 transfer or exchange of
		Securities.

(g) Neither the Company nor the Trustee
		shall be required pursuant to the provisions of thisSection 3.5(g):
		(i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period
		beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of
		selection for redemption of Securities pursuant toArticle XIand
		ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of
		redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so
		selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such
		Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

		offices or agency or agencies where Securities may be surrendered for
		registration for transfer or exchange. The Company initially

		office and agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written
		notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any
		such office or agency.

		to (i) the Company or (ii) (A) a Qualified Purchaser as such term
		is defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act and (B) (1) to a
		Person whom the Seller reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional
		Buyer, as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, in
		a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (2) to an institutional
		Accredited Investor within the meaning of subparagraph (a)(1), (2),
		(3) or (7) of Rule 501 under the Securities Act that is acquiring the
		Securities for its own account, or for the account of an Accredited
		Investor, for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or
		sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act,
		(3) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with
		Regulation S under the Securities Act, (4) pursuant to an effective

ARTICLE VI



THETRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1.Corporate Trustee Required.

There shall at all times be a Trustee
		hereunder with respect to the Securities. The Trustee shall be a corporation or
		national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the
		United States or of any state thereof, authorized to exercise corporate trust
		powers, having or having a parent that has a combined capital and surplus of at
		least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state
		authority and having an office within the United States. If such entity
		publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
		requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes
		of thisSection 6.1, the combined capital and surplus of such entity 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 thisSection 6.1, it
		shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
		specified in thisArticle
		VI.

SECTION 6.2.Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

Except during the continuance of an Event of
		Default:

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

(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;provided, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions
		that 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 substantially conform on their face to the requirements of
		this Indenture.

(b) If an Event of Default known to the
		Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, prior to the receipt
		of directions, if any, from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
		principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, exercise such of the rights and
		powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and
		skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
		circumstances in the conduct of such persons own affairs.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
		provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
		funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the





38



---



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. Whether or not
		therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to
		the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the
		Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of thisSection 6.2. To
		the extent that, at law or in equity, the Trustee has duties and liabilities
		relating to the Holders, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder for the
		Trustees good faith reliance on the provisions of this Indenture. The
		provisions of this Indenture, to the extent that they restrict the duties and
		liabilities of the Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed
		by the Company and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of
		the Trustee.

(d) No provisions of this Indenture shall be
		construed to relieve the Trustee from liability with respect to matters that
		are within the authority of the Trustee under this Indenture for its own
		negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, except
		that:

(i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any

Schedule A

DETERMINATION OF EURIBOR

With respect to the Securities, the Euro
		interbank offered rate (EURIBOR) shall be determined by the
		Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions (in each case
		rounded to the nearest .000001%):

(1) On the second EURIBOR Business Day (as
		defined below) prior to an Interest Payment Date (except that, with respect to
		the first interest payment period, such date shall be April 11, 2007) (each
		such day, a EURIBOR Determination Date), EURIBOR for any
		given security shall for the following interest payment period equal the rate
		(expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in Euro, for a three (3)
		month period, that appears on Dow Jones Telerate (as defined in the
		International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 2000 Interest Rate and
		Currency Exchange Definitions) Page 248, or such other page as may replace such
		Page 248, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such EURIBOR Determination Date, as
		reported by Bloomberg Financial Market Commodities News or any successor
		service. If such rate is superseded on Telerate Page 248 by a corrected rate
		before 12:00 noon (London time) on such EURIBOR Determination Date, the
		corrected rate as so substituted will be EURIBOR for such EURIBOR Determination
		Date.

(2) If on any EURIBOR Determination Date
		such rate does not appear on Dow Jones Telerate Page 248 or such other page as
		may replace such Page 248, the Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic
		mean of the offered quotations (expressed as a percentage per annum) of the
		Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading banks in the Euro interbank
		market for deposits in Euro, for a three (3) month period, for an amount
		determined by the Calculation Agent (but not less than 1,000,000) by
		reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 A.M. (London
		time) on the EURIBOR Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the
		Reference Banks. If on any EURIBOR Determination Date at least two of the
		Reference Banks provide such quotations, EURIBOR shall equal such arithmetic
		mean of such quotations. If on any EURIBOR Determination Date only one or none
		of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, EURIBOR shall be deemed to be
		the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations (expressed as a percentage per
		annum) that two (2) leading banks in the Euro-Zone selected by the Calculation
		Agent are quoting on the relevant EURIBOR Determination Date for deposits in
		Euro, for a three (3) month period, for an amount determined by the Calculation
		Agent (but not less than 1,000,000); provided, that if the
		Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance
		with at least one of the procedures provided above, EURIBOR shall be EURIBOR as
		determined on the previous EURIBOR Determination Date.

(3) As used herein: EURIBOR
		Business Day means a day (a) on which commercial banks are open for
		business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits)
		in London and (b) that is a TARGET Settlement Day; Euro-Zone
		means the region comprised of the Participating Member States;
		Reference Banks means the principal Euro-Zone office of each
		of four major banks engaged in the Euro-Zone interbank market, such banks to be
		selected by the Calculation Agent; and TARGET Settlement Day
		means any day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement
		Express Transfer (TARGET) System is open.
