which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

     (3) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he has made such examination or
investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not
such condition or covenant has been complied with; and

13

 

     (4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or
covenant has been complied with.

     SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee. 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 as 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 Company may be based, insofar as it relates to
legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, or a certificate or representations by counsel, unless
such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the opinion,
certificate or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is
based are erroneous. Any such Opinion of Counsel or certificate or representations may be based,
insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by,
an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information as to such factual matters is in
the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or
representations as 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.

     SECTION 104. Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders
of the Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing. If Securities of a series are issuable
as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such
series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of
such series voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at
any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the
provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and
the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of
the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by
any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in
favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the
manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be
proved in the manner provided in Section 1506.

14

 

     Without limiting the generality of this Section 104, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, a Holder, including a U.S. depository that is a Holder of a global Security, may
make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a U.S. depository that is a Holder of a global
Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such global
Security through such U.S. depository’s standing instructions and customary practices.

     The Trustee shall fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are
beneficial owners of interests in any permanent global Security held by a U.S. depository entitled
under the procedures of such U.S. depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly
appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If
such a record date is fixed, the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests on such record date
or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or
take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, whether
or not such Persons remain beneficial owners after such record date.

     (b) 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 reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

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

     (d) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production of such Bearer
Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other
depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such
depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be
proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such
certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be reasonably satisfactory. The Trustee and
the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another
certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is
produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such
Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security
is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other
reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

15

 

     (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Securities any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its
option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of
Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c),
such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which
shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If
such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record
at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized
or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record
date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date
shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.

     (f) 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, any Security
Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether
or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

     SECTION 105. Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. 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,

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

     (2) the Company 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 addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in
the first paragraph of this Indenture, Attention: Chief Legal Officer, or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

     SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice of
any event to Holders of Registered Securities by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at his address as it
appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered

16

 

Securities 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 of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer
Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed
shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder
actually receives such notice.

     If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of
any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to
Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute
a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any
Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer
Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized
Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such
Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any such notice shall be
deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the
date of the first such publication.

     If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized
Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to
Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer
Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to
such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to
Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall
affect the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.

     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.

     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.

     SECTION 107. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section
headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof.

     SECTION 108. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture
by the Company or a Guarantor shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not.

17

 

     SECTION 109. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in any
Security or coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     SECTION 110. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities
or coupons, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any
Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and
the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

     SECTION 111. Governing Law. This Indenture and the Securities and coupons shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made or instruments entered into and performed in said state. This Indenture is subject
to the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the
extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.

     SECTION 112. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption
Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall
not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture or any Security or coupon other than a provision in the Securities of any series which
specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof), payment of interest or any
Additional Amounts or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the
same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or
sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, provided that no interest shall
accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the
case may be.

     SECTION 113. Judgment Currency. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
(i) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the amount due
in respect of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or Additional Amounts with
respect to, the Securities of any series from the currency in which it is due (the “Required
Currency”) into a currency in which the judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment
Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the
Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which such judgment is given,
and (ii) the Company’s obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency
shall, despite any judgment in the Judgment Currency, be discharged by a payment on account thereof
in the Judgment Currency only to the extent that, on the New York Banking Day following receipt of
such payment in the Judgment Currency, the Trustee may, in accordance with normal banking
procedures, purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the amount of the Judgment
Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Required Currency that may be so purchased is less than
the amount originally due in the Required Currency, the Company shall have a separate and
independent obligation, despite any such payment or judgment, to indemnify the payee against such
deficiency. For purposes of the foregoing, “New

18

 

York Banking Day” means any day other than
a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or other day on which banking institutions in The City of New
York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

     SECTION 114. No Personal Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation,
covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, in any Security or coupon appertaining thereto,
or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or
against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or
any Guarantor or of any successor thereof, either directly or through the Company or any Guarantor
or any successor thereof, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the
enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders
thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

ARTICLE TWO

SECURITIES FORMS

     SECTION 201. Forms of Securities. The Registered Securities, if any, of each series
and the Bearer Securities, if any, of each series and related coupons shall be in substantially the
forms as shall be established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or approved from time
to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution in accordance with Section 301, shall have such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted
by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other
marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the
Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or
as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or
with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Securities may be listed, or to
conform to usage.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities shall have
interest coupons attached.

     The definitive Securities and coupons shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced
by any combination of these methods on a steel engraved border or steel engraved borders or may be
produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities or
coupons, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities or coupons.

     SECTION 202. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. Subject to Section
611, the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

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

	 	[NAME OF
TRUSTEE]

as Trustee

 	 
	 	By  	 	 
	 	 	Authorized Signatory 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

     SECTION 203. Securities Issuable in Global Form. If Securities of or within a series
are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding
clause (8) of Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such
of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it
shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time
endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series represented
thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a
Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee (or pursuant to its
direction) in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be
specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or
304. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall
deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions
given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company
Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by
the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form
shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion
of Counsel.

     The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security represented by
a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company
delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need
not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to
the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written
statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any Security in permanent
global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in the preceding
paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the Trustee shall treat as the
Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global
Security (i) in the case of a permanent global Security in registered form, the Holder of such
permanent global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent global Security in
bearer form, Euroclear or Clearstream.

denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution
(subject to Section 303) and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture
supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and,
unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for
issuances of additional Securities of such series.

     If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant
to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be
certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at
or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of
such series.

     SECTION 302. Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such
denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. With respect to Securities of
any series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such series, other than Registered
Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and the Bearer Securities of such series,
other than Bearer Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be
issuable in denominations of $5,000.

24

 

     SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the
Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, and attested by
its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the
Securities and coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such
authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.

     Securities or coupons 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 or coupons.

     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 any coupon appertaining thereto,
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; provided, however, that, in connection with
its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in
the United States; and provided further that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series
of Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with its
original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished
a certificate to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1
to this Indenture or such other certificate as may be specified with respect to any series of
Securities pursuant to Section 301, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier of the date
on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the date on which any temporary Security first
becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in accordance with the terms of such temporary
Security and this Indenture. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent global Bearer
Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner’s
interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a
temporary global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its original issuance
of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent global Security. Except as permitted by
Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all
appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and canceled.

     If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and if the Board
Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order
may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and
determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate or formula,
maturity date, redemption or repayment provisions, currency of denomination and payment, date of
issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA
Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

     (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that

25

 

     (a) the form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (b) the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture; and

     (c) such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, when completed by
appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication
in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with
this Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in
such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles, and will entitle
the Holders thereof to the benefits of this Indenture and any related Guarantee issued pursuant
hereto; and

     (ii) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this
Indenture relating to the issuance of the Securities have been complied with and that, to the best
of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, no Event of Default with respect to any of the
Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.

     If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect
the Trustee’s own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture
or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the second preceding paragraph, if all
the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver
an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or a Company Order, or an
Opinion of Counsel or an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the second preceding
paragraph at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and
certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at
or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series. After any such first
delivery, any separate request by the Company that the Trustee authenticate Securities of such
series for original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all conditions
precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication and delivery of such Securities
continue to have been complied with.

     Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and each Bearer
Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301.

     No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or any related
Guarantee or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security or
Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized
signatory,

26

 

and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and any related Guarantee. 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 in
Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not
be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold
by the Company, the Trustee shall be fully justified in relying thereon and in cancelling such
Security and 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
and any related Guarantee.

     SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. (a) Pending the preparation of definitive
Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of
the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form, or, if authorized,
in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may
determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of
Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form.

     Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in
accordance with Section 304(b) or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), if
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that
series 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 (accompanied by
any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), 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; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security
shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further that a
definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in
compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303. 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 such series.

     (b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, this Section 304(b) shall
govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in global form other than through the facilities
of DTC. If any such temporary Security is issued in global form, then such temporary global
Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a
depositary or common depositary (the “Common Depositary”), for the benefit of
Euroclear and Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of
such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct).

27

 

     Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined
pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the “Exchange Date”), the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the
Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the
Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in
part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
(subject to the Trustee’s receipt of sufficient delivery instructions from, or provided by or on
behalf of, the Common Depositary), in exchange for each portion of such temporary global Security,
an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged.
The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall
be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered
form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any
combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof (as identified or
provided to the Trustee by the Common Depositary, or by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable);
provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such
presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security shall be accompanied by a
certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion
of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated
the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such
temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in
Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301;
and provided further that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion
of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 303.

     Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a beneficial
owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global Security shall be exchanged for definitive
Securities of the same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder
instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and
delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in
Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section
301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall
be available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent
appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such
temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners
of such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear
the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person takes delivery of
such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream. Definitive
Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global
Security shall be delivered only outside the United States.

     Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall
in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities

28

 

of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global
Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the
applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream on such Interest Payment
Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the Trustee of a certificate or certificates in
the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established
pursuant to Section 301), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment
Date to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary global
Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as
the case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date
occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in
such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein contained, the certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the
certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 304(b) and of the third
paragraph of Section 303 of this Indenture (in each case, without delivery of a certificate in the
form of Exhibit A-1) and the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of the
temporary global Security with respect to which such certification was made will be exchanged for
definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor on the Exchange Date or the date of
certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such
beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal or
interest owing with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary global Security will be made
unless and until such interest in such temporary global Security shall have been exchanged for an
interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and Clearstream and not
paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee prior to the expiration of two years after
such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Company (subject, however, to any abandoned
property laws that may be applicable).

     SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall
cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the
Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in
such office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein
sometimes referred to collectively as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of
Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in
written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable
time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered
Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease
to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all
reasonable times.

     Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment
for that 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 Registered Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal

29

 

amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing identical terms and
provisions.

     Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the Holder, Registered
Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of
any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing
identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at any
such office or agency. Whenever any such Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified
with respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may not
be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

     If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and (subject to Section 303) set
forth in the applicable Officers’ Certificate, or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered
as contemplated by Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be
exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a
like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged
at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto
appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or
coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if the
Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal
to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or
coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or
indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter
the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect
of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount
of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest
represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an
office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a
Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange
for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of business at such
office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office
or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted
Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest
Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest,
as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment,
as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer
Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.

30

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301,
any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the
depositary for any permanent global Security is DTC, then, unless the terms of such global Security
expressly permit such global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive
Securities, a global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a nominee of
DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such global Security selected or
approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time DTC notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the applicable global Security
or Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange
Act if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor
depositary with respect to such global Security or Securities. If (x) a successor depositary for
such global Security or Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company
receives such notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (y) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a majority
in principal amount of the applicable series of Securities represented by such global Security or
Securities advise DTC to cease acting as depositary for such global Security or Securities or (z)
the Company, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all Outstanding Securities (but
not less than all) of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or more global Securities
shall no longer be represented by such global Security or Securities, then the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities of like series, rank,
tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of such global Security or Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent
global Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and
of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent
global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later
than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (subject to receipt of adequate instructions as to such
beneficial ownership from DTC or the Company), definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent global
Security. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such
permanent global Security shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depositary as
shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent
for such purpose; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the
relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among those
selected for redemption; and provided further that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a
portion of a permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in
the United States. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent
global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on
(i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the
relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business
at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest
or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security,

31

 

but will 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 permanent global
Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

     Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) 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 his 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 304, 906, 1107 or 1305 not involving any
transfer.

     The Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be among those selected for redemption
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to
be redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such Securities are
issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption
and (B) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of
the relevant notice of redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities
and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except, in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to
be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that such a
Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor, provided
that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the
option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

     SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated
Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or
the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the
Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of
the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any,
appertaining to the surrendered Security.

32

 

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon, and (ii) such security or
indemnity as may be reasonably 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 or
coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security
or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all
appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal
amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed,
lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon
appertains.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the
Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the
coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to
which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or coupon; provided,
however, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any), any interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to, Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be
payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto.

     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 with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in
lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed,
lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the
destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
to all the benefits of this Indenture and any related Guarantees equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of that series and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section 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 or coupons.

     SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Except as otherwise
specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest
on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for,

33

 

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 the payment of such interest as follows: (i) to Holders having an aggregate principal amount of
$1,000,000 or less of Securities, by check mailed to such Holders at the address set forth in the
Security Register; and (ii) to Holders having an aggregate principal amount of more than $1,000,000
of Securities, either by check mailed to such Holders or, upon application by a Holder to the
Security Registrar not later than the Regular Record Date for the payment of such interest, by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to such Holder’s account within the United States, which
application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Security Registrar to
the contrary.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any
series, payment of interest may be made, in the case of a Bearer Security and at the Company’s
option, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United
States.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent global Security will
provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear
and/or Clearstream, as the case may be, with respect to that portion of such permanent global
Security held for its account by Cede & Co. or the Common Depositary, as the case may be, for the
purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent
global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.

     In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security
of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such
series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on
the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the
coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest
Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but
will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of
this Indenture.

     Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the
provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of any series that 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 thereof 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 (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on 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 Registered Security of such
series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice
is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall

34

 

deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currencies in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for
the Securities of such series) 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 on or
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 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
Registered Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name
and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, but such publications shall not be a condition
precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered 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 (2). In case a
Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such
series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such
office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall
be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest
will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued
in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when
due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

     (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered 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.

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, 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.

     SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Registered
Security for registration of transfer, the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company, any Guarantor or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered

35

 

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 305 and 307) interest on, such Registered
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, any
Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery. The
Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee may
treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of such
Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the
Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     None of the Company, any Guarantor, 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 Security in global form or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Security, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the
Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by
any depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such global Security or impair, as between such
depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such global Security, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of
such global Security.

     SECTION 309. Cancellation. All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment,
redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or for
credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee,
be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons and Securities and coupons
surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by it. 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 any other Person 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. If the Company
shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption
or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. 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
this Indenture. Canceled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the
Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless by a
Company Order the Company directs their return to it.

36

 

     SECTION 310. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

ARTICLE FOUR

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

     SECTION 401. 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 of such series herein expressly provided for, any right to receive Additional Amounts,
as provided in Section 1011, and any right to convert or exchange Securities in accordance with
their terms), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to
such series when

     (1) either

     (A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered and all
coupons, if any, appertaining thereto (other than (i) coupons appertaining to Bearer
Securities surrendered for exchange for Registered Securities and maturing after such
exchange, whose surrender is not required or has been waived as provided in Section 305,
(ii) Securities and coupons of such series which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, (iii) coupons
appertaining to Securities called for redemption and maturing after the relevant Redemption
Date, whose surrender has been waived as provided in Section 1106, and (iv) Securities and
coupons of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or
segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or
discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation; or

     (B) all Securities of such series and, in the case of (i) or (ii) below, any coupons
appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

     (i) have become due and payable, or

     (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

     (iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for
redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the
giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense,
of the Company,

37

 

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount in the currency or
currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable, sufficient to pay and discharge the
entire indebtedness on such Securities and such coupons not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and any Additional Amounts with
respect thereto, 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;

     (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company;
and

     (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the
Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606, the obligations of the
Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 611 and, if money shall have been deposited with
and held by the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of
the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.

     SECTION 402. Application of Trust Funds. Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be
held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, the coupons
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 Persons entitled
thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any), and any interest and Additional Amounts for whose
payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

ARTICLE FIVE

REMEDIES

     SECTION 501. Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with
respect to any particular series of Securities, means any one of the following events with respect
to such series of Securities (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether or not it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body), it being understood that an
Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Securities does not automatically
constitute an Event of Default with respect to any other series of Securities:

38

 

     (1) default in any payment of interest on or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any
Security when due and payable, which default continues for a period of 30 days; or

     (2) default in the payment of the principal amount of (or premium, if any, on) any Security
when due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or
otherwise; or

     (4) default in the observance or performance of any covenant of the Company in this Indenture
(except as otherwise provided in this Section 501), which default continues for a period of 90 days
after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to
the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities a written notice, in each case received by the Company (and the Trustee, if applicable),
specifying such default and requiring such default to be remedied and stating that such notice is a
“Notice of Default” hereunder; or

     (5) default under any agreement or other instrument under which the Company or any Subsidiary
then has outstanding indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate for
the Company and/or any Subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be
created (but excluding intercompany indebtedness), and either (a) such default results from the
failure to pay any such indebtedness at its stated final maturity or (b) such default has caused
the holder of such indebtedness to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its
stated final maturity, unless, within 30 days after there has been given, by registered or
certified mail, a written notice of default under this clause (5) to the Company by the Trustee or
to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, the defaulted payment referred to in clause (a) above shall have been made,
waived or extended or the default referred to in clause (a) above shall have been cured, or the
acceleration of indebtedness referred to in clause (b) above shall have been rescinded, stayed or
annulled or such indebtedness shall have been repaid in full; or

     (6) the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or a Guarantor pursuant to or within the meaning
of any Bankruptcy Law:

     (A) commences a voluntary case or files a petition, answer or consent seeking
reorganization or relief,

     (B) consents to the entry of a decree or an order for relief against it in an
involuntary case or to the commencement of any such case against it,

     (C) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a Custodian of it or for all
or substantially all of its property, or

     (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

39

 

     (7) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

     (A) is for relief against the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or a Guarantor in an
involuntary case,

     (B) adjudges the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or a Guarantor to be insolvent or
approves a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of any of
the foregoing,

     (C) appoints a Custodian of the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or a Guarantor, or
for all or substantially all of its property, or

     (D) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or
a Guarantor,

     and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days, or

     (8) default in the conversion of the Securities of that series, which default continues for a
period of 15 days; or

     (9) a Guarantee, if issued, ceases to be, or is asserted in writing by the Company or any
Guarantor not to be, in full force or effect or enforceable in accordance with its terms with
respect to Securities of that series, except as otherwise provided herein; or

     (10) a final judgment for the payment of money in the amount of $10,000,000 or more (excluding
any amounts covered by insurance) rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, which
judgment is not paid, discharged, rescinded, stayed or annulled within 60 days after (a) the date
on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (b) the date
on which all rights to appeal thereof have been extinguished; or

     (11) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

     As used in this Section 501, the term “Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or
any similar Federal or State law for the relief of debtors and the term “Custodian” means any
receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or other similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

     SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding other than an Event of
Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 501 occurs and is continuing, then and in every
such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue
Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the
terms thereof) of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice
in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such

40

 

declaration such principal or specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and
payable.

     If an Event of Default specified in clause (6) or (7) of Section 501 occurs, all unpaid
principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Securities of that series (or such lesser
amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series) shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder of any Security of that series.

     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 Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

     (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency
or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series):

     (A) all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in
respect of all Outstanding Securities of that series and any related coupons,

     (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Outstanding Securities of that
series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest
thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities,

     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue
installments of interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or
provided for in such Securities, and

     (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

     (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment
of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series which have become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section
513.

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

     SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The
Company covenants that if:

41

 

     (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or Additional Amounts, if
any, on any Security of any series and any related coupon when such interest or Additional Amount
becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

     (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security
of any series at its Maturity,

then the Company will, upon demand by the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities of such series and coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on
such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amount,
with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest or Additional
Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in 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.

     If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of
the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may
enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series 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 of such series, 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 Securities of such series and any related coupons by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of
the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

     SECTION 504. 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, a Guarantor or any other obligor
upon the Securities or the property of the Company, a Guarantor or such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series 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, Guarantor or obligor for the payment
of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) 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 premium, if any) and interest and
Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other

42

 

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

     (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 of Securities of such
series and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount
due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and
any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any
predecessor Trustee under Section 606.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or coupon any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or coupons or the rights of any
Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a
Security or coupon in any such proceeding.

     SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities or Coupons.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities or coupons may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or coupons
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 and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

     SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee
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 premium, if any)
or interest and any Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as
the case may be, 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 and any predecessor Trustee under
Section 606;

     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest and any Additional Amounts payable, 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 aggregate amounts due and payable on such

43

 

Securities and
coupons for principal (and premium, if any), interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and

     THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.

     SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series or any
related coupon 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:

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

     (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
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;

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

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

     (5) 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 that 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 to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, 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 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium, if any,
Interest and Additional Amounts. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to
receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307)
interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such
Security or payment of such coupon on the respective due dates expressed in such Security or
coupon (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date)
and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or for the enforcement of any
applicable conversion right in the Securities, and such rights shall not be impaired without the
consent of such Holder.

     SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a
Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this

44

 

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, the Company,
any Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, 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 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons
in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons 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 511.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of
any Holder of any Security or coupon 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 of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.

     SECTION 512. Control by Holders of Securities. 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

     (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

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

     (3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be
unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not joining therein.

     SECTION 513. 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 and any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect
to such series and its consequences, except a default

     (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or Additional
Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such series or any related coupons,

45

 

     (2) in the conversion or exchange of the Securities in accordance with their terms, or

     (3) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine may not 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, 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 Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

     SECTION 514. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Company and each
Guarantor 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 usury,
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 each Guarantor hereby
expressly waives (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any 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.

     SECTION 515. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each
Holder of any Security by his 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 by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, 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 shall not apply
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, or to any
suit instituted by any Holder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any
Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case
of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date) or for the
enforcement of any applicable conversion right in the Securities.

ARTICLE SIX

THE TRUSTEE

     SECTION 601. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default
hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner
and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such default hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in
the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or any

46

 

Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking
fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith
determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities
and coupons of such series; and provided further that in the case of any default or breach of the
character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to the Securities and coupons of such series, no
such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof. For the
purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or
lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such
series.

     SECTION 602. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of TIA Section
315(a) through 315(d):

     (1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

     (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced
by a Company Request or Company Order (other than delivery of any Security, together with any
coupons appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section
303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of
Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

     (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that
a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith
on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

     (4) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

     (5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any series
or any related coupons pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

     (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see
fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or

47

 

investigation, it shall be
entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
attorney;

     (7) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder;

     (8) the Trustee shall have no liability for the actions or omissions of any Paying Agent so
long as the Trustee has acted in good faith and with due care with respect to a matter;

     (9) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Indenture;

     (10) subject to clause (11) below, the Trustee shall not be charged with notice or knowledge
of any matter except to the extent reasonably known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or set
forth in a written notice received at the Corporate Trust Office and making express reference to
the Indenture, the Company or the Securities; and

     (11) unless and except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall be
under no duty to review or evaluate the contents of any reports or other documents filed with it
pursuant to Section 703 or Section 1009 hereof, except to make them available for inspection at
reasonable times by Holders of Securities.

     The Trustee shall not be required 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.

     Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee undertakes to perform 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.

     SECTION 603. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals
contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, and in
any coupons 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
coupons, 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 any Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true
and accurate. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

48

 

     SECTION 604. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar,
Authenticating Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and
311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent.

     SECTION 605. Money Held in Trust. 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 in
writing with the Company.

     SECTION 606. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

     (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered
by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

     (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any
predecessor 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 expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

     (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its
own part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust
or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs) of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(6) or Section 501(7), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and
expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law.

     As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by
the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest on particular Securities or any coupons.

     The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture (and shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee pursuant to Section 608).

49

 

     SECTION 607. Eligibility of Trustee; Conflicting Interests. There shall at all times
be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Trustee publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal, State,
Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Trustee 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 608.  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 609.

     (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 an instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee 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.

     (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series 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.

     (d) If at any time:

     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written
request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months, or

     (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

     (3) 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 Board Resolution may remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section
315(e), any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a
successor Trustee or Trustees.

50

 

     (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 Board Resolution, 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). 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 a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, and to any
successor Trustee appointed by the Company with respect to such Securities, the successor Trustee
so appointed by the Holders shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, 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 of Securities and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to 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 in the manner provided for notices to the Holders
of Securities in Section 106. 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 609. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment
hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee 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 request of
the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges and
other due but unpaid amounts owing to it hereunder, 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, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.

     (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 each successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto, pursuant to Article Nine hereof, wherein each successor Trustee shall accept
such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to
transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights,

51

 

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, (2) 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 (3) 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; and upon the execution and delivery of
such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective to the extent 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 610. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any entity
into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such entity 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 or coupons 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 or coupons so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor
Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or coupons
shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may
authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own name or that of its
predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the
certificate of authentication of the Trustee.

     SECTION 611. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the
Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with

52

 

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 exchange, registration of transfer or
partial redemption or repayment thereof, 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. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly
furnished to the Company. 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 bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good
standing under the laws of the United States or of any State or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of
not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State
authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid 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. In case 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 entity into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may
be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent,
provided such entity shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or
filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

     An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any
series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving
written notice of termination 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 for
such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company
and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect
to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 106. 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 herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

53

 

     The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation, including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this
Section.

     If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the
Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the
following form:

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

Security Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to
the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with TIA Section 312, regardless

     (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the
receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not
more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished,

provided, however, that, so long as the Trustee is the Security Registrar, no such list shall be
required to be furnished.

ARTICLE EIGHT

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER OR LEASE

     SECTION 801. Company May Consolidate, etc., Only on Certain Terms. The Company shall
not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all
of its properties and assets (as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction as a
series of transactions) to, any Person, unless:

     (a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), if not
the Company itself, is a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of
America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not the
Company itself) expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company
under the Securities and this Indenture; and

     (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.

     SECTION 802. Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation of the Company with or
merger of the Company with or into, or any conveyance, transfer or lease by the Company of all or
substantially all of its properties and assets (as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one
transaction or a series of transactions) to, any Person in accordance with Section 801, the
Successor Company formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such
conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter.

ARTICLE NINE

     (5) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in such Security; or

     (6) impair the right of a Holder to receive payment of principal (and premium, if any) and
interest on, or any Additional Amounts payable with respect to, such Holder’s Securities on or
after the due dates thereof or to institute a suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with
respect to such Holder’s Securities; or

     (7) modify any of the provisions of this Section 902 or Section 513, except to increase the
percentage of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected thereby required to
consent to any supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 902 or to effect any waiver pursuant to
Section 513; or

     (8) to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture may not be modified or waived
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby.

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

     A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this
Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series
of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with
respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this
Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

     SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the
additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the
modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee
may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

     SECTION 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance
therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes;
and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder and
any coupon appertaining thereto shall be bound thereby.

     SECTION 905. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the TIA as then in effect.

     SECTION 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any
series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to
this Article may, and shall, if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the
Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so
determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee

57

 

and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company
and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such
series.

ARTICLE TEN

COVENANTS

     SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, 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 (and premium, if any) and interest on and any
Additional Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms
of such series of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any
interest due on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of Bearer Securities on or before
Maturity, other than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1011 in respect of
principal of (or premium, if any, on) such a Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they
severally mature. Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to
Section 301, at the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be paid by check to the
Holder of the Registered Security or other person entitled thereto against surrender of such
Security.

     SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. If Securities of a series are
issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any
series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment or conversion, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a
series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain: (A) in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series
may be presented or surrendered for payment or conversion, where any Registered Securities of that
series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served and where Bearer Securities of that
series and related coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment or conversion in the
circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise); (B) subject to any laws or
regulations applicable thereto in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the
United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be
presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1011) or conversion; provided, however, that if the
Securities of that series are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange
located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will
maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in Luxembourg or any other required city
located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities

58

 

of that series are
listed on such exchange; and (C) if the Securities of such series are or may also be issued in part
as, or may be converted to, Registered Securities, subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States, an office or
agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of each 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, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons
may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable
on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1011) or conversion at the offices
specified in the Security, in London, England, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its
agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands, and the Company
hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands. Nothing herein shall oblige the Trustee to maintain any such office or agency on behalf
of the Company in any such Place of Payment, other than the Corporate Trust Office.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, no payment
of principal, premium or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of Bearer Securities shall be
made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address
in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United
States; provided, however, that, if amounts owing with respect to any Bearer Securities of a series
are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any Bearer Security
(including any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1011)
shall be made at the office of the Company’s Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium,
interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United
States maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture, is illegal or
effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.

     The Company may 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 of such purposes,
and may from time to time rescind any such designation; 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 accordance with the requirements set forth above 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 301 with respect to a series of
Securities, the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the
office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially
appoints [Name of Trustee] at                     , [New York, New York]

59

 

                     as Paying Agent in such city and as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, 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 the
Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so
required, at least one exchange rate agent.

     SECTION 1003. 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 any Securities and any
related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or
interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities of that series, segregate
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or
currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (and
premium, if any) or 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 and any
related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), or
interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient
to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts, so becoming due, such
sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or
interest or Additional Amounts 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 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

     (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
on Securities for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

     (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company or a Guarantor (or any other obligor
upon the Securities) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or
interest; and

     (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default upon the written request of the
Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

60

 

     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 by 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 sums.

     Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series (and subject to any abandoned
property laws that may be applicable), any money deposited with the Trustee in trust or with any
Paying Agent, or then held by the Company in trust, for the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any), interest
or Additional Amounts has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request
or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company and any
Guarantor(s) for payment of such principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on, or any
Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money, and all liability of the Company as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be
published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

     SECTION 1004. [Reserved].

     SECTION 1005. Existence. Subject to Article Eight, the Company and each Guarantor
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
Company and each Guarantor shall not be required to preserve any right or franchise if its Board of
Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of
business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

     SECTION 1006. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, cause all of its material properties used or useful in the conduct of its
business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and
working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section
shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any such
properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company or the Subsidiary, desirable
in the conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

61

 

     SECTION 1007. Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to, keep all of its insurable properties adequately insured against loss or damage with insurers of
recognized responsibility in commercially reasonable amounts and types.

     SECTION 1008. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge
or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all material taxes,
assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon the
income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all material lawful claims
for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of
the Company or any Subsidiary unless such lien would not have a material adverse effect upon such
property; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (i) whose amount, applicability or
validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (ii) for which the Company
has set apart and maintains an adequate reserve.

     SECTION 1009. Commission and Other Reports to the Trustee.

     (a) The Company shall ensure delivery to the Trustee within 15 calendar days after it files
such annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports with the Commission,
copies of its annual report and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such
portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) which
the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act in accordance with TIA Section 314(a). In the event the Company is at any time no longer
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall continue
to provide the Trustee with reports containing substantially the same information as would have
been required to be filed with the Commission if the Company had continued to have been subject to
such reporting requirements. In such event, such reports shall be provided at the times the Company
would have been required to provide reports if it had continued to have been subject to such
reporting requirements. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section
314(a). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents 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 on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee
shall have no duty or responsibility to review such reports, information or documents. In the event
that the Company shall provide the Trustee with any such report, information or document and shall
not have filed such report, information or document on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering,
Analysis and Retrieval system, the Trustee shall promptly mail copies of such report, information
or document to each Holder (other than reports provided solely pursuant to TIA Section 314(a)).

     (b) The Company intends to file the reports, information and documents referred to in Section
1009(a) with the Commission in electronic form pursuant to Regulation S-T of the Commission using
the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system.

62

 

Compliance with the foregoing shall constitute delivery by the Company of such reports, information and documents to
the Trustee in compliance with the provisions of Section 1009(a) and TIA Section 314(a). The
Trustee shall have no duty to search for or obtain any electronic or other filings that the Company
makes with the Commission, regardless of whether such filings are periodic, supplemental or
otherwise. Delivery of the reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 1009(b) shall be solely for the purposes of compliance with this Section 1009(b) and with
TIA Section 314(a). The Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not
constitute notice to it of the content thereof or of any matter determinable from the content
thereof, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder, as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely on Officers’ Certificates.

     SECTION 1010. Statement as to Compliance. The Company and each Guarantor will
deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from
the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to
his or her knowledge of its compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture and,
in the event of any noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof.
For purposes of this Section 1010, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

     SECTION 1011. Additional Amounts. If any Securities of a series provide for the
payment of Additional Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or
any coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section
301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context except in the case of Section
502(1), the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any
Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or
exchange 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 pursuant to Section
301 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in
respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if
applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in
those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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 that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear
interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made),
and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if
there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’
Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or
Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and
such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any premium or
interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or
any related coupons who are not United States persons without withholding for or on account of any
tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of the series. If any
such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by

63

 

country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that
series or related coupons and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the
Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned certificate, then the
Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no such withholding or deduction
is required with respect to any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to
any Securities of a series or related coupons until it shall have received a certificate advising
otherwise and (ii) to make all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to
the Securities of a series or related coupons without withholding or deductions until otherwise
advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad
faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them or
in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or in reliance on the
Company’s not furnishing such an Officers’ Certificate.

     SECTION 1012. Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular
instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1005 to 1011,
inclusive, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of all outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either waive
such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but
no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so
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 ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

     SECTION 1101. 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 as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in
accordance with this Article.

     SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to
redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the
Company shall, at least 15 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption in Section 1104
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee, for purposes of the Trustee’s administrative
convenience), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided 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.

64

 

     SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all
the Securities of any series issued on the same day with the same terms are to be redeemed, 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 issued on such date
with the same terms 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 portions (equal to
the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof)
of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of that series.

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than
itself) 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.

     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 Security redeemed or to
be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or
is to be redeemed.

     SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the
manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to
Section 301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the
manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security 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 such Security or portion thereof.

     Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives
the notice.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date,

     (2) the Redemption Price, accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in
Section 1106, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any,

     (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular
Security or Securities to be redeemed,

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

65

 

     (5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption
Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, will become due and payable upon each such
Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall
cease to accrue on and after said date,

     (6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer
Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are
to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, or for
conversion,

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

     (8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any,
surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed
for redemption or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the
Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee
for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished,

     (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of
such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered
Securities not subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise,
the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made,

     (10) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any, and

     (11) if applicable, that a Holder of Securities who desires to convert Securities for
redemption must satisfy the requirements for conversion contained in such Securities, the then
existing conversion price or rate, and the date and time when the option to convert shall expire.

     Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Company or, at the
Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

     SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. At least one Business Day prior to 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, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund
payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of
money in the currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on
the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an
Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 or in the Securities of
such series) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed
on that date.

66

 

     SECTION 1106. 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 in the currency or currencies in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for
the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date),
and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption
Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear
interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed,
except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto
maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption
Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States
(except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest; and provided
further that, except as otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered
Securities of a series, installments of interest on Registered Securities 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, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

     If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant
coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the
Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender
of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or
any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from
the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided,
however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located
outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only
upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal of and premium, if any, and, to the extent legally enforceable, interest
or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) on such Security shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security on the
Redemption Date.

     SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Registered Security which is to be
redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be
surrendered 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 his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the

67

 

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, 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.

ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUNDS

     SECTION 1201. 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
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.

     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 such Securities of any series is herein
referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of any
Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

     SECTION 1202.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company
may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the
Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than Outstanding
Securities any previously called for redemption) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of
such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities of
such 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, as provided for by the terms of such Securities, or which
have otherwise been acquired by the Company; provided that such Securities so delivered or applied
as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited
for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for
redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly.

     SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior
to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any series, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund
payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is
to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currencies in which the Securities of such
series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of
such series) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, 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

68

 

any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an
optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company
shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before
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 1103 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 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities
shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

     SECTION 1301. Applicability of Article. Repayment of Securities of any series before
their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms
of such Securities, if any, and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series
established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article.

     SECTION 1302. Repayment of Securities. Securities of any series subject to repayment
in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the
terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with
interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of
such Securities. The Company covenants that at least one Business Day prior to the Repayment Date
it will 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 1003) an amount of money in the currency or
currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (or, if
so provided by the terms of the Securities of any series, a percentage of the principal) of, and
(except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 or in the Securities of such series) accrued interest on, all the
Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.

     SECTION 1303. Exercise of Option. Securities of any series subject to repayment at
the option of the Holders thereof will contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse
of such Securities. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the
Trustee must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or
at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of
such Securities) not earlier than 60 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1)
the Security so providing for such repayment together with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form on
the reverse thereof duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing) or (2) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national
securities exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”), or a
commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of the
Security, the principal amount of the Security, the principal amount of the Security to be

69

 

repaid, the CUSIP number, if any, or a description of the tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that
the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be
repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse
of the Security, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the
date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter; provided, however, that such
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form
duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. If less than the entire
principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security,
the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for
Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to
be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that
is not to be repaid, must be specified. The principal amount of any Security providing for
repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such
repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized
denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as
otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the
Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived
by the Company.

     SECTION 1304. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable. If
Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have
been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall
become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein
specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of
such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing,
cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so
to be repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such
Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, the principal amount of such Security so to
be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment
Date; provided, however, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date
shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of such coupons; and provided further that, in the case of Registered
Securities (except as otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered
Securities of a series), installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default
in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 307.

     If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant
coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the
amount payable therefor as provided in Section 1302 an amount equal to the face amount of all such
missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons

70

 

may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there shall be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require
to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a
deduction shall have been made as provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled
to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be
payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided
in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of those coupons.

     If the principal amount of any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon
surrender thereof, such principal amount (and, to the extent legally enforceable, the interest, if
any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment
Date at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount
Securities) borne by such Security on the Repayment Date.

     SECTION 1305. Securities Repaid in Part. Upon surrender of any Registered Security
which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the
Company, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination
specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion
of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

     SECTION 1401. Applicability of Article; Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance. If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for either or both of (a)
defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1402 or (b) covenant defeasance of
the Securities of or within a series under Section 1403, then the provisions of such Section or
Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article (with such
modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities),
shall be applicable to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at
its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 1402 (if applicable) or Section 1403 (if applicable) be
applied to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with
the conditions set forth below in this Article.

     SECTION 1402. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise of the above
option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company
shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section
1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance

71

 

means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by
such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed
to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under
such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto 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 and any coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 1404 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 such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such
Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional
Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 1011, and under or with respect to
Section 606 hereof, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder,
(D) the rights of Holders to convert Securities, if any, in accordance with their terms, and (E)
this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403 with
respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

     SECTION 1403. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option
applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall
be released from its obligations under Sections 1005 to 1010, inclusive, and, if specified pursuant
to Section 301, its obligations under any other covenant, with respect to such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the
purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences
of any thereof) in connection with Sections 1005 to 1010, inclusive, or such other covenant, but
shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such
covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of
any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether
directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such
other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
default or an Event of Default under Section 501(4) or 501(11) or otherwise, as the case may be,
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.

     SECTION 1404. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall
be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or Section 1403 to any Outstanding Securities of
or within a series and any coupons appertaining thereto:

72

 

     (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who shall agree in writing with the
Company and the Trustee, an executed copy of which shall be provided to the Trustee, to comply with
the provisions of this Article Fourteen applicable to it (any such other trustee being referred to
herein, and in Section 1405, as an “Other Qualifying Trustee”) 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 and any coupons appertaining thereto, (1)
an amount in such currency or currencies in which such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable
to such Securities and coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the currency or
currencies in which such Securities and coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable
at Stated Maturity) 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 of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an
amount, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, 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 and any coupons appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such
principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or
analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto
on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture and of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto. The Trustee shall have no
liability for the actions or omissions of any Other Qualifying Trustee.

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

     (c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an
Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 501(6) and 501(7)
are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit
(it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such
period).

     (d) In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of this
Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the
effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal

73

 

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.

     (e) In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto 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.

     (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance under Section 1402 or the
covenant defeasance under Section 1403 (as the case may be) have been complied with and an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that either (i) as a result of a deposit pursuant to subsection (a) above
and the related exercise of the Company’s option under Section 1402 or Section 1403 (as the case
may be), registration is not required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the
Company, with respect to the trust funds representing such deposit or by the Trustee for such trust
funds or (ii) all necessary registrations under said Act have been effected.

     (g) 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 301.

     SECTION 1405. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301)
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or Other Qualifying Trustee) pursuant
to Section 1404 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any coupons appertaining
thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee (or such Other Qualifying Trustee, as
applicable), in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto 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 (or such Other Qualifying Trustee, as
applicable) may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto
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 with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 301, if, after a
deposit referred to in Section 1404(a) has been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of
which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms of
such Security to receive payment in a currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 1404(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in
respect of the currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been made, the
indebtedness represented by such Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed

74

 

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 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 the
applicable market exchange rate for such currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to
each payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such 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 1404 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 and any coupons
appertaining thereto.

     Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to Section 606, the Trustee
(or such Other Qualifying Trustee, as applicable) shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds
therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1404 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, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.

ARTICLE FIFTEEN

75

 

specified in Section 1501, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken
at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such
meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the

a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series with respect to any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that this Indenture expressly
provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal
amount of all Outstanding Securities affected thereby, or of the Holders of such series and
one or more additional series:

     (i) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting; and

     (ii) the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series that vote in favor of
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be
taken into account in determining whether such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action has been made, given or taken under this Indenture.

     SECTION 1505. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.
(a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable
regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of a series in regard
to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in
regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning
the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required
by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in
Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104
or by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust
company, bank or banker authorized by Section 104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities.
Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face,
may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof.

     (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the
meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as
provided in Section 1502(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series
calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons
entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
represented at the meeting.

77

 

     (c) At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one
vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or
represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in
respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to
be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of
a Security of such series or proxy.

     (d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1502 at
which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting, and
the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

     SECTION 1506. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. The vote upon any
resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written
ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or
of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding
Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall
appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any
resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the
proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any Series shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the
inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons
having knowledge of the fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that
said notice was given as provided in Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504. Each copy
shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the
meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company and another to the Trustee to be
preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.
Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN

GUARANTEE OF SECURITIES

     SECTION 1601. Guarantee. (1) Each Person designated as a “Guarantor” in the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing a series of Securities
that also establishes itself as a Guarantor of such Securities by Board Resolution or pursuant to
authority granted by one or more Board Resolutions and set forth, or determined in the manner
provided, in an Officers’ Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental
hereto, with respect to each series of Securities to which this Article Sixteen is made applicable,
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the “Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Security of such
series 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 of such
series or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Securities of such series,
that: (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, or any Additional Amount in

78

 

respect of, the Securities of such series will be paid in full when due, whether at the Stated
Maturity or Interest Payment Date, by acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise; (ii) all
other obligations of the Company to the Holders of such series or the Trustee under this Indenture
or the Securities of such series will be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture and the Securities of such series; and (iii) in case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any Securities of such series or any of such other obligations thereunder,
they will be paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal,
whether at the Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Date, by acceleration, call for redemption, or
otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, each
Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the same before failure so to pay becomes an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of any series. If the Company defaults in the payment of the principal
of or premium, if any, or interest on, or any Additional Amount in respect of, the Securities of a
series so guaranteed when and as the same shall become due, whether at the Stated Maturity or
Interest Payment Date, by acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise, without the necessity of
action by the Trustee or any Holder, each Guarantor with respect to such series shall be required
to promptly make such payment in full. The obligations of all Guarantors under this Article
Sixteen shall be joint and several.

          (2) Each Guarantor agrees with respect to Securities of any series that its obligations with
regard to this Guarantee shall be as principal and not merely as surety and shall be full,
irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the
Securities of such series or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any
delays in obtaining or realizing upon or failures to obtain or realize upon collateral, the
recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety
or a guarantor. Each Guarantor with respect to Securities of any series hereby waives 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 or right to
require the prior disposition of the assets of the Company to meet its obligations, protest, notice
and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of all obligations contained in the Securities of such series and this
Indenture as it relates to such series of Securities.

          (3) If any Holder of Securities of a series or the Trustee is required by any court or
otherwise to return to any of the Company or a Guarantor with respect to Securities of that series,
or any Custodian, trustee, or similar official acting in relation to any of the Company or a
Guarantor, any amount paid by any of the Company or a Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder with
respect to Securities of that series, the Guarantee with respect to Securities of that series, to
the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor
agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders of
Securities of a series in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations of Securities of such series. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity
of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 502 for the purposes
of a Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration as to the Company of the obligations so guaranteed, and (ii) in the event of any

79

 

declaration of acceleration of those obligations as provided in Section 502, those obligations
(whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors with
respect to Securities of a series for purposes of the Guarantee.

          (4) Each Guarantor and by its acceptance of a Security issued hereunder each Holder hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee by each Guarantor set
forth in Section 1601(1) not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purpose of any
Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any
similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and all
Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each of the Guarantors under the
Guarantee set forth in Section 1601(1) shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving
effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, and after giving effect to
any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to the next succeeding
sentence, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under such Guarantee not constituting such a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor that makes any payment or distribution under
Section 1601(1) shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor equal to its Pro Rata
Portion of such payment or distribution. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Pro Rata Portion” of
any Guarantor means the percentage of net assets of all Guarantors held by such Guarantor,
determined in accordance with GAAP.

          (5) It is the intention of the parties that the obligations of the Guarantors shall be in,
but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if the
obligations in respect of the Guarantee would be annulled, avoided or subordinated to the creditors
of any Guarantor by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding actually pending before such
court as a result of a determination both that such Guarantee was made without fair consideration
and, immediately after giving effect thereto, such Guarantor was insolvent or unable to pay its
debts as they mature or left with an unreasonably small capital, then the obligations of such
Guarantor under such Guarantee shall be reduced by such court if and to the extent such reduction
would result in the avoidance of such annulment, avoidance or subordination; provided, however,
that any reduction pursuant to this paragraph shall be made in the smallest amount as is strictly
necessary to reach such result. For purposes of this paragraph, “fair consideration,”
“insolvency,” “unable to pay its debts as they mature,” “unreasonably small capital” and the
effective times of reductions, if any, required by this paragraph shall be determined in accordance
with applicable law.

          (6) If the obligations of any Guarantor are reduced pursuant to Section 1601(4) or 1601(5)
above, such reduction shall be applied proportionately with respect to all Securities (of whatever
series) guaranteed under Section 1601, in accordance with the respective outstanding principal
amount of such Securities so guaranteed (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, the accreted value of such Securities) and being then due upon the acceleration of the
payment of such Securities.

          (7) A Guarantor may consolidate with, sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its
assets to, or merge with or into, the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or another Guarantor at
any time without limitation, provided that, if the successor entity or entity acquiring

80

 

the assets
is a Subsidiary of the Company or another Guarantor, such entity expressly or by operation of law
assumes all of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Indenture in connection with the
transaction. In any such case, the Guarantor shall be released from all obligations under this
Indenture.

          (8) In addition to the transactions permitted by Section 1601(7), a Guarantor may consolidate
with, sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into, any
other corporation, provided that, in any such case, the Guarantor shall be the continuing
corporation, or the successor corporation or corporation acquiring the assets shall be a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a State thereof and such
corporation expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Indenture by
supplemental indenture complying with Article Nine hereof, satisfactory to the Trustee, executed
and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation. In any such case, the Guarantor shall be
released from all obligations under this Indenture. Any such consolidation, sale, lease,
conveyance or merger is also subject to the condition that the Trustee receive an Officers’
Certificate of the Guarantor and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the transaction, and the
assumption by any successor corporation or acquiror of assets, complies with the provisions of this
Section 1601(8) and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction
have been complied with.

          (9) Upon a sale, transfer or other disposition of Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor by
the Company to a Person other than the Company, which disposition (i) is not subject to Section
1601(7), Section 1601(8) or Article Eight, (ii) causes such Guarantor to no longer be a Subsidiary
of the Company, (iii) is for consideration at least equal to the fair value of the Capital Stock
disposed of (in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company) and (iv) is
otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor shall be released from all
obligations under this Indenture. Upon the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’
Certificate and, if requested by the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
transaction or series of related transactions giving rise to the release of such obligations was
made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents
reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations. Any
Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities as provided in this
Article Sixteen.

     SECTION 1602. Future Guarantors. Each Person providing a guarantee of any Security
of a series pursuant to this Indenture shall execute and deliver a supplemental indenture making
such Person a party to this Indenture for the purpose of becoming a Guarantor.

     SECTION 1603. Delivery of Guarantee. The delivery of any Security of a series by
the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the
Guarantee set forth in Section 1601 on behalf of each Guarantor for that series.

81

 

ARTICLE SEVENTEEN

SUBORDINATION

     SECTION 1701. Agreement to Subordination. The Company covenants and agrees, and each
Holder of Securities issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that
all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article; and each Person holding
any Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts
and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

     The payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, the cash portion of the conversion
obligation, if any, and interest on, all Securities issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in
the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior
payment in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of
all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.
The Securities shall rank senior in right of payment to all Subordinated Indebtedness and equal in
right of payment to all other Senior Subordinated Indebtedness.

     No provision of this Article shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default
hereunder.

     SECTION 1702. Payments to Holders. No payment shall be made with respect to the
principal of, and premium, if any, the cash portion of the conversion obligation, if any, or
interest on, the Securities except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by
the first or second paragraph of Section 1705, if:

     (1) a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest, rent or other obligations due on
any Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Designated Senior
Indebtedness for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues
beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Designated
Senior Indebtedness), unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have
ceased to exist; or

     (2) a default, other than a payment default, on any Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and
is continuing that then permits holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its
maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”)
from a Representative or holder of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, unless and until the
earlier of (x) the date on which such default is cured or waived or ceases to exist or (y) 179 days
after the date on which the Payment Blockage Notice is received.

     If the Trustee receives any Payment Blockage Notice pursuant to clause (2) above, no
subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until
at least 365 days shall have elapsed since the initial effectiveness of the immediately prior
Payment Blockage Notice and all scheduled payments on the Securities that have come due have been
paid in full in cash. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of
delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee (unless such default was waived, cured
or otherwise ceased to exist and thereafter subsequently reoccurred) shall be, or be made, the
basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice.

82

 

     The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities
upon the earlier of:

          (a) in the case of a default referred to in clause (1) above, the date upon which the default
is cured or waived or ceases to exist, or

          (b) in the case of a default referred to in clause (2) above, the earlier of the date on which
such default is cured or waived or ceases to exist or 179 days after the date on which the
applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, if the maturity of such Designated Senior
Indebtedness has not been accelerated, unless this Article otherwise prohibits the payment or
distribution at the time of such payment or distribution.

     Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up
or liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary) or in
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon
all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any payment is made on account of the principal of, and
premium, if any, the cash portion of the conversion obligation, if any, or interest on, the
Securities (except payments made pursuant to Article Four from monies deposited with the Trustee
pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation
or reorganization); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of
the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, any payment by the
Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled,
except for the provision of this Article, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by
any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment
or distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under this Indenture, if
received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on
the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise
required by law or a court order) or their Representative or Representatives, or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness
may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all
Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders
of Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities
or to the Trustee.

     For purposes of this Article, the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to
include shares of Capital Stock of the Company, as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the
Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the
payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article with respect to
the Securities to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding;
provided, however, that (i) the Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any,
resulting from any reorganization or readjustment and (ii) the rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness (other than leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new corporation,

83

 

as the case may be) are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or
readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another
corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance, transfer or
lease of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon
the terms and conditions provided for in Article Eight shall not be deemed a dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 1702 if such other
corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply
with the conditions stated in Article Eight.

     In the event of the acceleration of the Securities because of an Event of Default, no payment
or distribution shall be made to the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in respect of the
principal of, and premium, if any, the cash portion of the conversion obligation, if any, or
interest on, the Securities by the Company until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in
cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or such acceleration is
rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. If payment of Securities is accelerated
because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of
such acceleration.

     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of
assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including,
without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received
by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, in
cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, or provision is made for
such payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit
of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their
Representative or Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to
which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full, in
cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to
any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

     SECTION 1703. Subrogation of Securities. Subject to the payment in full, in cash or
other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of all Senior Indebtedness, the
rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or
distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this
Article (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its
express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent
as the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of
the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or
securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of, and
premium, if any, the cash portion of the conversion obligation, if any, and interest on, the
Securities shall be paid in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the

84

 

holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the
Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no
payment over, pursuant to the provisions of this Article, to or for the benefit of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee shall, as between the Company, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to
be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness; and no payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article, which would otherwise have been
paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or
for the account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article are and
are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the
Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

     Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is
intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of, and premium, if any,
the cash portion of the conversion obligation, if any, and any interest on the Securities as and
when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or
shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company
other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the
Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article
of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company
received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made
by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the
persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and
other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other facts
pertinent thereto or to this Article.

     SECTION 1704. Authorization of Effect Subordination. Each Holder of a Security by
the Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take
such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this
Article and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.

     SECTION 1705. Notice to Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of
any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent in respect of the Securities pursuant to the

85

 

provisions of this
Article. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture,
the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit
the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to
the provisions of this Article, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office from the Company (in the form of an
Officers’ Certificate) or a Representative or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or from
any trustee thereof; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be
entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that, if on a date
not less than one Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may
become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest on, any Security) the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to
such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 1705, then, anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies
and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date. Notwithstanding
anything in this Article to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the
Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Article Four, and any such payment shall not be
subject to the provisions of this Article.

     The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Representative or a person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a Representative or a
holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event
that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the
right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such
Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution
and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence
is not furnished the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as
to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

     SECTION 1706. Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee in its
individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article in respect of any
Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior
Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such
holder.

     With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to
observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article,
and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and, except with respect to its express
obligations under this Article, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior
Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other

86

 

person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of
this Article or otherwise.

     SECTION 1707. No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future
holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in
any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any
act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder or by any noncompliance by the Company
with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof
which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

     SECTION 1708. Certain Conversions Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Article
only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in
accordance herewith shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the
principal of, or premium, if any, the cash portion of the conversion obligation, if any, or
interest on, Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and (2)
the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares), property
or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Security shall be deemed to
constitute payment on account of the principal of such Security. For the purposes of this Section
1708, the term “junior securities” means (a) shares of any Capital Stock of any class of the
Company or (b) securities of the Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior
Indebtedness which may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to
substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated
as provided in this Article. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or
in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, any right of the Holder of any Security to convert
such Security in accordance herewith, which shall be absolute and unconditional.

     SECTION 1709. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. If at any time any Paying Agent
other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the
term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed
as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and
purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the
Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of Section 1705 shall not apply to the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

     SECTION 1710. Senior Indebtedness Entitled to Rely. The holders of Senior
Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Designated Senior Indebtedness) shall have the right
to rely upon this Article, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein
shall diminish the rights of such holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.

     SECTION 1711. Anti-Layering. The Company shall not incur, directly or indirectly, or
otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness which is subordinated or junior in right or payment to
any Senior Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is Senior Subordinated Indebtedness or is
Subordinated Indebtedness, provided; however, that nothing in this Section 1711 shall limit the
Company’s ability to incur Senior Indebtedness.

87

 

     The Trustee has no fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness other than as created
under this Indenture. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

     The Company’s obligation to pay, and the Company’s payment of, the Trustee’s fees pursuant to
Section 606 are excluded from the operation of this Article Seventeen.

* * * * *

     This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall
be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same Indenture.

AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 16th day of July
2009 by and among American Claims Evaluation, Inc., a New York corporation (“Present
Owner”), John Torrens, an individual with an address at 6368 East Seneca Turnpike, Jamesville,
NY 13078 (the “Former Majority Shareholder”), Kyle Palin Torrens, an individual with an
address at 6368 East Seneca Turnpike, Jamesville, NY 13078 (“K. Torrens”), and Carlena
Palin Torrens, an individual with an address at 6368 East Seneca Turnpike, Jamesville, NY 13078
(“C. Torrens”). Each of the Former Majority Shareholder, K. Torrens and C. Torrens are
sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as a “Prior Owner” and collectively as the
“Prior Owners”.

RECITALS

     WHEREAS, Present Owner entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement made and entered into as of
September 12, 2008 with Prior Owners pursuant to which, among other things, Present Owner
purchased all of the outstanding shares of stock of Interactive Therapy Group Consultants, Inc.
(the “Acquired Company”) from Prior Owners;

     WHEREAS, the Stock Purchase Agreement contained, among other things, certain provisions
regarding what the Stock Purchase Agreement defined as the Minimum Net Deficiency which, in part,
required certain computations to be made following the Closing;

     WHEREAS, in conjunction with the Prior Owners’ sale of their shares in the Acquired Company,
the Acquired Company agreed to and did enter into an Employment Agreement with the Former Majority
Shareholder; and

     WHEREAS, certain disputes have arisen among the parties regarding various elements of the
transaction and the parties have reached a resolution of their differences.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and other consideration provided for
in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. In full settlement of all claims between and among the parties arising from or relating to
the computation of the Minimum Net Deficiency (the “Settled Claims”), and solely the Settled
Claims, each party hereto releases and discharges each other from any claims or causes of action
arising from or relating to such computation.

     2. In consideration of the foregoing, the Former Majority Shareholder agrees to a modification
of his Employment Agreement with the Acquired Company as set forth in Section 3 of such Employment
Agreement to reduce his Compensation to One Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($100,000.00).
Such reduction shall take effect beginning with the bi-weekly payment next coming due to the Former
Majority Shareholder following execution and delivery of this Agreement by all parties hereto and
ending with the last bi-weekly payment made prior to the expiration of the Term of Employment, as
set forth in Section 2 of the Employment Agreement.

     3. In further consideration of the foregoing, no later than September 9, 2010, the Former
Majority Shareholder shall pay to Present Owner, in immediately available funds, subject to
collection, $87,400.00 plus interest computed at the rate of 2% per annum simple commencing August
1, 2009 (the “Payment”).

     4. As further security for the Payment, the Former Majority Shareholder shall execute an
affidavit in the form and containing the substance set forth on Exhibit A and authorizes Present
Owner to enter a judgment by confession in an amount equal to the portion of the Payment remaining
uncollected on September 10, 2010.

 

 

     5. Section 6(a) of the Employment Agreement is amended to correct a scrivener’s error so as to
substitute the word and number “five (5)” for the word and number “two (2)”.

     6. Other than as expressly stated herein the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Employment
Agreement are ratified and affirmed and continue as originally written.

     7. This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms
hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by authorized representatives of the
parties or, in the case of a waiver, by an authorized representative of the party waiving
compliance. No such written instrument shall be effective unless it expressly recites that it is
intended to amend, supersede, cancel, renew or extend this Agreement or to waive compliance with
one or more of the terms hereof, as the case may be. No delay on the part of any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege, or any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any party may otherwise have at law
or in equity.

     8. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors and
successors of the parties hereto.

     9. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and date first
above written.
