case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or
request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

          Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided
for in this Indenture (including certificates delivered pursuant to Section 1011) shall include:

	 	(1)	 	a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read

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

-13-

 

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.

               (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 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 manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.

               (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,

-14-

 

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,
	 
	 	(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, 4445 Willard Avenue,
12th
Floor, Chevy Chase, MD 20815,
tel.: (301) 841-2700, facsimile: (301) 841-2380, or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company, or
	 
	 	(3)	 	a Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and
mailed, first class postage prepaid, to such Guarantor addressed to it at the address
of its principal office, 4445 Willard Avenue,
12th
Floor, Chevy Chase, MD 20815,
tel.: (301) 841-2700, facsimile: (301) 841-2380, or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Guarantor.

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.

-15-

 

In any case where notice to Holders of Registered 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 any
particular Holder of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so
published, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer
Securities or 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 shall be binding on their
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

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, 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. 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,
member, partner, officer, trustee  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.

Section 112. 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.

Section 113. 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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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

-17-

 

Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated
Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

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

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

permanent global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent global Security in
bearer form, Euroclear or Clearstream.

series are to be issuable in permanent global form with or without coupons and, if so,

authorized form and denomination and the circumstances under which any such exchanges
may occur, if other than in the manner provided in Section 305, and, if Registered

	 	(23)	 	if the Securities of the series are to be issued upon the exercise of warrants,

contemplated by Section 1012 on the Securities of the series to any Holder who is not a
United States person (including any modification to the definition of such term) in
respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the Company
will have the option to redeem such Securities rather than pay such Additional Amounts
(and the terms of any such option);
	 
	 	(25)	 	whether and to what extent the Securities of the series are to be guaranteed by

series shall be substantially identical except, in the case of Registered Securities, as to
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.

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.

-23-

 

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

          The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed by the Company’s
Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary or
one of its Vice Presidents. 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, 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 complying with Section 102 and stating that

-24-

 

	 	(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

(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, that 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.

          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 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, and such certificate upon
any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such

-25-

 

Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture. 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, 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.

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 The Depository Trust Company. 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).

-26-

 

          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, 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; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in
such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary
global Security is 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 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

-27-

 

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 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.

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 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

-28-

 

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.

          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

-29-

 

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, 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 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, 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.

-30-

 

          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, the Trustee or the Security Registrar, 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 appropriate cases, such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to hold 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.

          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 required by them to hold 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 the Company’s 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 immediately preceding 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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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 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, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name
that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that each installment of interest on any
Registered Security may at the Company’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest,
payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to the
address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account
maintained by the payee located inside the United States.

-32-

 

          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, 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 registered 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 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

-33-

 

	 	 	 	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 Security is registered as the owner of such Security for
the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, 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 none of the Company, any
Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, any Guarantor, or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

-34-

 

          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 none of the
Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, any Guarantor, or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          None of the Company, 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.

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.

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

principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, and
any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, to the

Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 611 and, if money shall have been deposited with

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 or Make-Whole Amount, if
any), and any interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has deposited with or
received by the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

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):

          (1) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon or any Additional Amounts

a period of 30 days; or

          (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on)
any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable at its Maturity, upon redemption, upon

Company or any Guarantor in this Indenture with respect to any Security of that series (other than
a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section

after there has been given, by registered or certified mail to the Company and the Guarantors, by
the Trustee or to the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder; or

          (4) default under any evidence of Recourse Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor (or of
any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company or Guarantor has guaranteed or for which the
Company or Guarantor is directly responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), or any mortgage,
indenture or other instrument of the Company or a Guarantor (including a default with respect to
Securities of any series other than that series) under which there may be issued or by which there
may be secured any Recourse Indebtedness of the Company or Guarantor (or of any Subsidiary, the
repayment of which the Company or Guarantor has guaranteed or for which the Company or Guarantor is
directly responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), whether such Recourse Indebtedness now
exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall constitute a failure to pay an aggregate
principal amount exceeding $10,000,000 of such Recourse Indebtedness when due and payable after the
expiration of any applicable notice and grace periods with respect thereto and shall have resulted
in such Recourse Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $10,000,000 becoming or
being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and
payable, without such Recourse Indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been
rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered
or certified mail, to the Company and Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Company, the Guarantor and
the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
that series a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company or Guarantor to
cause such Recourse Indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or

involuntary case,

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

               (C) orders the liquidation of the Company, a Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary, and the
order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days;

          (7) the Guarantee of any Security by a Guarantor ceases to be, or is asserted in writing by
the Company or such Guarantor not to be, in full force and effect or enforceable in accordance with
its terms (other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of such
Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture); or

          (8) 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 occurs
and is continuing, then 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, and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on 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 declaration such
principal, and premium and Make-Whole Amount (if any), or specified portion thereof shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series
set forth in Section 501(5) or (6) of this Indenture occurs and is continuing, then in every such
case all the Securities of that series shall become immediately due and payable, without notice to
the Company, at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date the Securities of
that series are paid plus any Make-Whole Amount due on the Securities 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:

-39-

 

          (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency
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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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:

          (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 or Make-Whole Amount, if
any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity upon redemption, upon dedication or otherwise,
then the Company will, upon demand of 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 or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest
and Additional Amount, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount,
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

-40-

 

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 or of
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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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 or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and
interest and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file
such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

               (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 or 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.

-41-

 

          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 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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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:

606;

          SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons for
principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, 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 Securities and coupons for principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest and
Additional Amounts, respectively; and

          THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.

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;

-42-

 

          (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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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, on the Redemption Date)
and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or for the enforcement of any
applicable conversion or exchange 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 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

-43-

 

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 or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest
on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such series or any related coupons,
or

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

          (3) in the conversion or exchange of Securities in accordance with terms.

-44-

 

          Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and for every purpose of this Indenture, the Company,
any Guarantor, Trustee and Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder; 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.

          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 (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit
or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any 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 or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or
interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security
(or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). The Company agrees to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for paying all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsels’
fees) of the Trustee in connection with (a) any default and any enforcement or collection
proceedings resulting therefrom and (b) the enforcement of this Section 515.

cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the
principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on or any

-45-

 

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 a committee of trust 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(3) with respect to the Securities and coupons of
such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 60 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.

Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

          (3) 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;

          (4) 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;

          (5) 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;

          (6) 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;

-46-

 

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

          (8) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirement of this Indenture;

          (9) 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; and

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

               (a) this paragraph (10) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (1) of this
Section;

               (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any errors of judgment or any acts, omissions,
mistakes of fact or law taken or omitted in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be
proved that the Trustee was negligent;

               (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and

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

          (11) Whether nor not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.

          The permissive right of the Trustee to do the things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be
construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or
willful misconduct.

-47-

 

          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 or a Guarantor
and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity, legality or sufficiency of
this Indenture or of the Securities or coupons or any other contracts referred to herein to which
the Company or a Guarantor is a party, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its
obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for
the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

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 the 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 with the Company.

Section 606. Compensation and Reimbursement.

          The Company agrees:

          (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee
have agreed upon in writing 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 or successor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances, if any, 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;

          (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 606(3) shall include
its directors, officers, employees and agents) and any predecessor or

-48-

 

successor 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 of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder; and

          (4) to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of this Indenture, no later than five (5) business days of its
execution.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6), 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 Holders of 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 or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on particular Securities or any coupons.

          Notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture, the Trustee’s right to immunities and
protection from liability hereunder and its rights to payment of its fees, expenses and indemnities
shall survive its resignation or removal and the final payment or defeasance of the Securities and
the termination of the Indenture and all indemnification and releases from liability granted herein
shall extend to its directors, officers, employees and agents.

          The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

Section 607. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; 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 corporation 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
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 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.

-49-

 

               (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. The Trustee’s rights to indemnity and reimbursement of
outstanding fees and expenses shall survive the Trustee’s resignation.

               (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 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 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.

               (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

-50-

 

Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance or 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
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, 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, 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

-51-

 

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 of 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 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, except upon original
issuance or in replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Securities, 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. Except upon original issuance or in
replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Securities, wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the

-52-

 

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
of America 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 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.

          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:

Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of that or those series of Securities to which such additional Events of Default
apply to waive such default; or

          (4) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to provide that Bearer

after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be) or for the enforcement of any

	Section 1001.	 	Payment of Principal, Premium (if any), Make-Whole Amount (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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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 1012
in respect of principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) such a Security, shall be

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 registered 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

-60-

 

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 1012) 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 of that series are listed on such exchange; and (C) 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 1012) or
conversion at the offices specified in the Security, in London, England, and the Company hereby
appoint the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands, and the Company hereby appoint the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands.

          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 the 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 1012) 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, or Make-Whole Amount, 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 such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or
agency in 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

-61-

 

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 the Trustee as Paying Agent at its office
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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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 or Make-Whole
Amount, 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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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 (or premium or Make-Whole Amount,
if any) or interest on Securities in trust 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 or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest; and

-62-

 

          (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.

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

          Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal
of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of,
any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (or premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or 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 for payment of such principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security,
without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may 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. [Omitted].

Section 1005. [Omitted].

Section 1006. Existence.

          Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect the existence, rights (charter and statutory) and
franchises of itself and of each Guarantor; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors
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 the business and that the
loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 1007. Maintenance of Properties.

          The Company will 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

-63-

 

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 the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be prevented from discontinuing the operation and
maintenance of any such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company,
desirable in the conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders.

Section 1008. Insurance.

          The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep all of its insurable
properties insured against loss or damage in amounts and types as are commercially reasonable.

Section 1009. 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 whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings or for which the Company has set apart and maintains an adequate reserve.

Section 1010. Provision of Financial Information.

     If the Company or a Guarantor is required to file annual and quarterly reports and other
documents with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company or
such Guarantor will (i) file such reports and documents with the Commission on or prior to the
respective dates by which the Company or such Guarantor is required
to file such documents, and (ii)
within 15 days after being required to file the same with the Commission, deliver such reports and
documents with the Trustee.

     If the Company or a Guarantor is not required to file annual and quarterly reports and other
documents with the Commission pursuant to either of such provisions, the Company or such Guarantor
will, within 15 days of the date by which the Company would have been required to file the same
with the Commission if it were so required, deliver to the Trustee a document containing
substantially the same kind of information as the Company would have been required to include in
each annual and quarterly report filed with the Commission if it were
so required. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or a Guarantor is

-64-

 

not required to file annual or quarterly reports and other documents with the Commission
because information about the Company or the Guarantor is contained in the annual and quarterly
reports and other documents filed by another entity with the Commission, the delivery to the
Trustee of the annual and quarterly reports and other documents filed by such entity with the
Commission within the time periods set forth in the preceding sentence
shall be deemed to satisfy the obligations of the Company or the Guarantor to provide financial
information under this Section 1010.

Section 1011. 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 of the Company as to his or her knowledge of such entity’s
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 1011, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice under this Indenture.

Section 1012. 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 in this Indenture. 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 this Indenture 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

-65-

 

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. If 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 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 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 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 1013. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

          The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in Sections 1004 to 1010, 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 90 days prior to the Redemption Date (unless
a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date
and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. 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.

-66-

 

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

-67-

 

Security, the holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of
authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

          (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, 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 satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee for such
series and any Paying Agent is furnished,

          (8) 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,

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

          (10) 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, 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) accrued interest
on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

-68-

 

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 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 (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) shall, until paid, bear
interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security.

Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

          Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of
this Article) 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

-69-

 

attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or
Securities of the same series, 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

GUARANTEES

Section 1201. Applicability of Article.

     If applicable, the guarantee of any series of securities shall be established in accordance
with Section 301 and in accordance with this Article.

Section 1202. Guarantees.

          Subject to the provisions of this Article Twelve, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally,
fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Holder and to the Trustee on behalf of
the Holders: (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued
interest on each Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, and the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal
of and interest, if any, on the Securities, to the extent lawful, and (ii) in the case of any
extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, that
the same will be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or
renewal, at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (the obligations in subsections (i) and
(ii) hereof being the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor hereby waives to the extent it may
legally do so diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event
of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the
Company, the benefit of discussion, protest or notice with respect to any such Security or the debt
evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that its Guarantee will not be
discharged as to any such Security except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest
thereon and as provided in Section 401, Section 1402 and Section 1403. The maturity of the
Securities may be accelerated as provided in Article Five for the purposes of this Article Twelve.
In the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Five,
the Securities (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each
Guarantor jointly and severally, for the purpose of this Article Twelve. In addition, without
limiting the foregoing provisions, upon the effectiveness of an acceleration under Article Five,
the Trustee shall promptly make a demand for payment on the Securities under each Guarantee
provided for in this Article Twelve.

          If the Trustee or the Holder of any Security is required by any court or otherwise to return
to the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, receiver, liquidator, trustee, sequestrator or
other similar official acting in relation to the Company or such Guarantor, any amount paid to the
Trustee or such Holder in respect of a Security, this Guarantee, to the extent

-70-

 

theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further
agrees, to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so, that, as between it, on the one hand, and
the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby
may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of its Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition extant under any applicable bankruptcy
law preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby.

          Each Guarantor hereby further agrees that its obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities shall be unconditional, regardless of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this
Indenture or the Securities, the absence of any action to enforce this Indenture or the Securities,
any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions of this Indenture or the
Securities, any modification or amendment of, or supplement to, this Indenture or the Securities,
the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce any such judgment, or any
other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Guarantor.

          Each Guarantor that makes or is required to make any payment in respect of its Guarantee shall
be entitled to seek contribution from the other Guarantors to the extent permitted by applicable
law; provided that each Guarantor agrees that any such claim for contribution that such Guarantor
may have against any other Guarantor shall be subrogated to the prior payment in full, in cash, of
all obligations owed to Holders under or in respect of the Securities.

          Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights that it may now or
hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of its obligations under its Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification,
any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders against the Company or any
collateral that any such Holder or the Trustee on behalf of such Holder hereafter acquires, whether
or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law,
including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on
account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of
the preceding sentence and the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities
shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor
for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall forthwith be paid
to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders to be credited and applied upon the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on the Securities. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive
direct and indirect benefits from the issuance of the Securities pursuant to this Indenture and
that the waivers set forth in this Section 1202 are knowingly made in contemplation of such
benefits.

          Each Guarantee set forth in this Section 1202 shall not be valid or become obligatory for any
purpose with respect to a Security until the certificate of authentication on such Security shall
have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

-71-

 

Section 1203. Obligations Unconditional.

          Subject to Section 1206, nothing contained in this Article Twelve or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among each Guarantor and the
Holders, the obligation of each Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, upon failure by the
Company, to pay to the Holders the principal of (and premium, if any) and 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 and creditors of each Guarantor, nor
shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder or the Trustee on its behalf from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture.

          Without limiting the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article Twelve will restrict the
right of the Trustee or the Holders to take any action to declare the Guarantee to be due and
payable prior to the Stated Maturity of the Securities pursuant to Section 502 or to pursue any
rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 1204. Execution of Guarantees.

          To evidence its obligations under this Article Twelve, each Guarantor hereby agrees to execute
a guarantee in a form set forth in the supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate for each
series of Securities guaranteed by the Guarantor, to be endorsed on each Security authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee. The signature of any officer of a Guarantor on the Securities may be
manual or facsimile. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Article
Twelve shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse such Guarantee
on any series of Securities.

Section 1205. Withholding.

          All payments made by a Guarantor with respect to the Guarantees will be made without
withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any country (other
than the United States) or any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein or thereof
having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges is then required by law. In the event that any country (other than the United
States) or any political subdivision thereof, or any authority therein or thereof, imposes any such
withholding or deduction on (a) any payments made by a Guarantor with respect to the Guarantees or
(b) any net proceeds on the sale to or exchange with any Guarantor of the Securities, such
Guarantor will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts
received in respect to such payments or sale or exchange by the Holders or the Trustee, as the case
may be, after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts that would have been
received in respect of such payments or sale or exchange in the absence of such withholding or
deduction; except that no such additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any series of
Securities held by or on behalf of a Holder who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges in respect of such Security by reason of his being a citizen or resident of,
or carrying on a business in, the country of residence of any Guarantor. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Guarantor making a payment on the Securities pursuant to the Guarantee shall not be
required to pay any additional amounts if (x) the beneficial

-72-

 

holder of a Security received by certified mail (evidenced by a return receipt signed by such
beneficial holder) (i) written notice from such Guarantor no less than 60 days in advance of making
such payment and (ii) the appropriate forms or instructions necessary to enable such beneficial
holder to certify or document the availability of an exemption from, or reduction of, the
withholding or deduction of such taxes under applicable law, which such instructions shall clearly
specify that additional amounts under this Section 1205 may not be paid if such forms are not
completed by such beneficial holder, and (y) the Guarantor that would otherwise have to pay such
additional amounts establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee that the obligation to pay such
additional amounts would not have risen but for the failure of such beneficial holder to (i) duly
complete such forms as were actually received by such beneficial holder or respond to such
instructions and (ii) provide to such Guarantor such duly completed forms or responses to
instructions. Without prejudice to the survival of any of the agreements of the Guarantors
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Guarantors contained in this Section 1205 shall
survive the payment in full of Securities and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee.

Section 1206. Limitation of Guarantees.

          The Company and each Holder by its acceptance thereof, hereby confirm that it is the intention
of all such parties that any Guarantee of the Securities executed by a Guarantor under this
Indenture and the terms of a supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate for any series of
Securities not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law,
the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar federal or state law. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, in the event that any such Guarantee would constitute or result in a violation
of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or similar law of any relevant jurisdiction, the liability
of the Guarantor under such Guarantee shall be reduced to the maximum amount, after giving effect
to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, permissible under the applicable
fraudulent conveyance or similar law.

Section 1207. Release of Guarantees.

          (a) Concurrently with the payment in full of all of the Securities, the Guarantors shall be
released from and relieved of their obligations under this Article Twelve. 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 giving rise to the release of such obligations was made
by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any
documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantors from their
obligations. If any of the Guaranteed Obligations are revived and reinstated after the termination
of this Guarantee, then all of the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guarantee shall be
revived and reinstated as if this Guarantee had not been terminated until such time as the
Guaranteed Obligations are again terminated, and the Guarantors shall enter into an amendment to
this Guarantee, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, evidencing such revival and reinstatement.

          (b) Upon the sale or disposition of all the Capital Stock owned by the Company of a Guarantor
(by merger or otherwise) to a Person other than the Company or any other Guarantor and which sale
or disposition is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor shall be
deemed released from all obligations under this Article

-73-

 

Twelve; provided, however, that any such termination upon such sale or disposition shall occur
if and only to the extent that all obligations of such Guarantor under all of its guarantees of,
and under all of its pledges of assets or other security interests which secure, indebtedness of
the Company or any other Guarantor shall also terminate upon such sale or disposition. 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 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

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

-74-

 

Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 or in the Security 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 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 provide 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 portion 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

-75-

 

surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with
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 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 with 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 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 may be waived by the Company
and the Trustee if there be furnished to it such security or indemnity as they may require to save
it 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 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 (together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to such
Repayment Date to the extent legally enforceable) 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) set forth in such Security.

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 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 or Make-Whole Amount,
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 1012, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities
of the Trustee hereunder, (D) the rights of Holders to convert or exchange 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.

-77-

 

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
1004 to 1010, inclusive and, if specified pursuant to Section 301, its obligations under any other
covenant, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and 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 1004 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 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(3) or 501(7) otherwise, as the case
may be, but, except as specified above, 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:

               (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee

provisions of this Article Fourteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of
making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in
such currency, currencies or currency unit 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,
currencies or currency unit 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 the terms will provide, not later than one day
before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, 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 the Trustee,
to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to
pay and discharge, the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, 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

-78-

 

principal or interest 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.

               (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 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(5) and 501(6)
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 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.

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, collectively for purposes of this
Section 1405, the “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,
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 as the Trustee 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 or Make-Whole Amount, 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 or currency unit 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 or currency unit 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 to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the
payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, 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 or currency unit 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 or currency unit in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date,
except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency or currency unit 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. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and
the termination of this Indenture.

          Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to Section 606, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the 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.

at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such

Section 1505. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.

          (a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable

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
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.

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

-83-

 

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 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.

Section 1507. Evidence of Action Taken by Holders.

          Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided
by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Holders
of any or all series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of Holders in person or by an agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such Act shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of
any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of
this Indenture and (subject to Article Six) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if
made in the manner provided in this Article.

Section 1508. Proof of Execution of Instruments.

          Subject to Article Six, the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy may
be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the
Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN

SUBORDINATION

Section 1601. Agreement to Subordinate.

     The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security agrees, that the indebtedness
evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner
provided in this Article, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt and that the
subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt.

Section 1602. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

     Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the
Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating
to the Company or its property:

     (1) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the
principal of and interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of any such

-84-

 

proceeding) to the date of payment on the Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to
receive any payment of principal of or interest on Securities;

     (2) until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution to which Holders would be
entitled but for this Article shall be made to holders of Senior Debt as their interests may
appear, except that Holders may receive securities that are subordinated to Senior Debt to at least
the same extent as the Securities; and

     (3) the Trustee is entitled to rely upon an order or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction or a certificate of a bankruptcy trustee or other similar official for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Debt
and other Company debt, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all other pertinent facts
relating to the Trustee’s obligations under this Article Sixteen.

Section 1603. Default on Senior Debt.

     The Company may not pay principal of or interest on the Securities and may not acquire any
Securities for cash or property other than capital stock of the Company if:

     (1) a default on Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that permits holders of such Senior Debt
to accelerate its maturity, and

     (2) the default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Company receives a notice of the
default from a person who may give it pursuant to Section 1611. If the Company receives any such
notice, a similar notice received within nine months thereafter relating to the same default on the
same issue of Senior Debt shall not be effective for purposes of this Section.

     The Company may resume payments on the Securities and may acquire them when: (i) the default
is cured or waived, or (ii) 120 days pass after the notice is given, if the default is not the
subject of judicial proceedings, if this Article otherwise permits the payment or acquisition at
that time.

Section 1604. Acceleration of Securities.

     If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall
promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration. The Company may pay the Securities when
120 days pass after the acceleration occurs if this Article permits the payment at that time.

Section 1605. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

     If a distribution is made to Holders that because of this Article should not have been made to
them, the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt
and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

-85-

 

Section 1606. Notice by Company.

     The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and any Paying Agent of any facts known to the
Company that would cause a payment of principal of or interest on Securities to violate this
Article.

Section 1607. Subrogation.

     After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full, Holders shall
be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior
Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the
payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article to holders of Senior Debt which
otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by
the Company on Senior Debt.

Section 1608. Relative Rights.

     This Article defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in
this Indenture shall:

     (1) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Securities in accordance with
their terms;

     (2) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other than holders of
Senior Debt; or

     (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon an Event of
Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable
to Holders.

     If the Company fails because of this Article to pay principal of or interest on a Security on
the due date, the failure is still a default.

Section 1609. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.

     No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the indebtedness
evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its
failure to comply with this Indenture.

Section 1610. Distribution or Notice to Representative.

     Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the
distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative.

-86-

 

Section 1611. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

     The Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Securities until it
receives written notice of facts that would cause a payment of principal of or interest on the
Securities to violate this Article. Only the Company, a Representative or a holder of an issue of
Senior Debt that has no Representative may give the written notice.

     The Trustee has no fiduciary duty to the holders of Subordinated Debt other than as created
under this Indenture. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt 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 Sixteen.

          This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall

same Indenture.

4. Effective Date and Termination of Plan

     This Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company as of June 11, 2004, and
originally became effective (the “Effective Date”) when it was approved by the Company’s
stockholders on July 28, 2004. This amendment and restatement of the Plan was adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Company as of July 18, 2005, and will become effective when it is approved by
the Company’s stockholders. The Plan shall remain available for the grant of Awards until the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan may be terminated
at such earlier time as the Board of Directors may determine. Termination of the Plan will not
affect the rights and obligations of the Participants and the Company arising under Awards
theretofore granted and then in effect.

5. Shares Subject to the Plan and to Awards

     (a) Aggregate Limits. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all
Awards shall not exceed 4,000,000, plus any shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior
Plans as of June 11, 2004 that on or after such date cease for any reason to be subject to such
awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they are
exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares), up to an aggregate maximum of
9,400,000 shares. Any shares of Common Stock granted as Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall
be counted against this limit as one (1) share for every one (1) share granted. Any shares of
Common Stock granted as Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted
against this limit as two and one-half (2.5) shares for every one (1) share granted. The aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock available for grant under this Plan and the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section
12. The shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan may be shares that
are authorized and unissued or shares that were reacquired by the Company, including shares
purchased in the open market.

     (b) Issuance of Shares. For purposes of Section 5(a), the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock issued under this Plan at any time shall equal only the number of shares actually issued upon
exercise or settlement of an Award and shall not include shares subject to Awards that have been
canceled, expired or forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares subject to an Award under the
Plan may not again be made available for issuance under Awards if such shares are: (i) shares that
were subject to a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Option and that were not issued
upon the net settlement or net exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Option, or (ii)
shares delivered to or retained by the Company to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes
related to an Award.

     (c) Tax Code Limits. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options and
Stock Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant
shall not exceed 500,000, and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable
under all Awards granted under this Plan other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights during any
calendar year to any one Participant shall not exceed 200,000, which numbers shall be calculated
and adjusted pursuant to Section 12 only to the extent that such calculation or adjustment will not
affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as “performance based compensation” under Code
Section 162(m). The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the
exercise of ISOs granted under this Plan shall not exceed 4,000,000, which number shall be
calculated and adjusted pursuant to Section 12 only to the extent that such calculation or
adjustment will not affect the status of any option intended to qualify as an ISO under Code
Section 422. The maximum amount payable pursuant to that portion of an Incentive Bonus granted
under this Plan for any calendar year to any Participant that is intended to satisfy the
requirements for “performance based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) shall not exceed four
million dollars ($4,000,000).

     (d) Awards to Service Providers. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued under
this Plan pursuant to all Awards granted to service providers shall not exceed 100,000.

     (e) Director Awards. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options and
Stock Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Nonemployee
Director shall not exceed 30,000, and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or
issuable under all Awards granted under this Plan other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights
during any calendar year to any one Nonemployee Director shall not exceed 12,000; provided,
however, that in the calendar year in which a Nonemployee Director first joins the Board of
Directors, the maximum number of shares subject to Awards granted to the Participant may be up to
two hundred percent (200%) of the number of shares set forth in the foregoing limits.

6. Options

     (a) Option Awards. Options may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the
termination of the Plan, to Participants selected by the Administrator. No Participant shall have
any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of stock subject to Option hereunder until
said shares have been issued. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Options granted
pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each Option must contain and be subject to the terms
and conditions set forth below.

     (b) Price. The purchase price under each Option shall be established by the Administrator,
provided that in no event will the purchase price be less than the market price of the Common Stock
on the date of grant, except for Options that the Participant pays for or as to which the
Participant foregoes other compensation equal in value to the amount of such discount. The purchase
price of any Option may be paid in Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by
the Administrator, including an irrevocable

 

 

commitment by a broker to pay over such amount from a sale of the shares issuable under an Option,
the delivery of previously owned Common Stock and withholding of Common Stock deliverable upon
exercise.

     (c) No Repricing. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as
described in Section 12) the exercise price of an Option may not be reduced without stockholder
approval (including canceling previously awarded Options and regranting them with a lower exercise
price).

     (d) Duration and Exercise or Termination of Option. The Administrator shall have the right to
make the timing of the ability to exercise any Option subject to continued employment, the passage
of time and/or such performance requirements as deemed appropriate by the Administrator, provided
that in no event shall any Option become exercisable sooner than one (1) year after the date of
grant except in the event of the Participant’s death or Total and Permanent Disablement or a change
of control (as defined in the applicable Award Agreement). Unless the Administrator provides
otherwise Options shall become exercisable 25 percent per year beginning one (1) year after the
date of the grant. Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Award Agreement, the vesting period
and/or exercisability of an Option shall be adjusted by the Administrator during or to reflect the
effects of any period during which the Participant is on an approved leave of absence or is
employed on a less than full-time basis. Each Option shall expire within a period of not more than
seven (7) years from the date of grant.

     (e) Termination of Employment: Unless an Option earlier expires upon the expiration date
established pursuant to Section 6(d), upon the termination of the Participant’s employment, his or
her rights to exercise an Option then held shall be only as follows, unless the Administrator
specifies otherwise:

     (1) Death. Upon the death of a Participant while in the employ of
the Company or any Subsidiary or while serving as a member of the
Board of Directors, all of the Participant’s Options then held shall
be exercisable by his or her estate, heir or beneficiary at any time
during the twelve (12) months next succeeding the date of death. Any
and all of the deceased Participant’s Options that are not exercised
during the twelve (12) months next succeeding the date of death
shall terminate as of the end of such twelve (12) month period.

     If a Participant should die within thirty (30) days of his or her
termination of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, an
Option shall be exercisable by his or her estate, heir or
beneficiary at any time during the twelve (12) months succeeding the
date of termination, but only to the extent of the number of shares as to which such Option was exercisable as of the
date of such termination. Any and all of the deceased Participant’s
Options that are not exercised during the twelve (12) months
succeeding the date of termination shall terminate as of the end of
such twelve (12) month period. A Participant’s estate shall mean his
or her legal representative or other person who so acquires the
right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason
of the death of the Participant.

     (2) Total and Permanent Disablement. Upon termination of employment
as a result of the Total and Permanent Disablement of any
Participant, all of the Participant’s Options then held shall be
exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months after termination.
Any and all Options that are not exercised during the twelve (12)
months succeeding the date of termination shall terminate as of the
end of such twelve (12) month period.

     (3) Retirement. Upon Retirement of a Participant, the Participant’s
Options then held shall be exercisable for a period of twelve (12)
months after Retirement. The number of shares with respect to which
the Options shall be exercisable shall equal the total number of
shares that were exercisable under the Participant’s Option on the
date of his or her Retirement. Any and all Options that are
unexercised during the twelve (12) months succeeding the date of
termination shall terminate as of the end of such twelve (12) month
period.

     (4) Other Reasons. Upon the date of a termination of a Participant’s
employment for any reason other than those stated above in Sections
6(e)(1), (e)(2) and (e)(3) or as described in Section 15, (A) any
Option that is unexercisable as of such termination date shall
remain unexercisable and shall terminate as of such date, and (B)
any Option that is exercisable as of such termination date shall
expire the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days following such date or
(ii) the expiration date of such Option.

     (f) Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, in
the case of the grant of an Option intending to qualify as an ISO: (i) if the Participant owns
stock possessing more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company (a “10% Shareholder”), the purchase price of such Option must be at least 110 percent of
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the Option must expire within a
period of not more than five (5) years from the date of grant, (ii) termination of employment will
occur when the person to whom an Award was granted ceases to be an employee (as determined in
accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the
Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, options
designated as ISOs shall not be eligible for treatment under the Code as ISOs to the extent that
either (iii) the aggregate fair market value of shares of Common Stock (determined as of the time
of grant) with respect to which such Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant
during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000,
taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted, and (iv) such Options
otherwise remain exercisable but are not exercised within three (3) months of Termination of
employment (or such other period of time provided in Section 422 of the Code).

 

 

     (g) Other Terms and Conditions: Options may also contain such other provisions, which shall
not be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Plan, as the Administrator shall deem
appropriate.

7. Stock Appreciation Rights

     Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants from time to time either in tandem
with or as a component of other Awards granted under the Plan (“tandem SARs”) or not in conjunction
with other Awards (“freestanding SARs”) and may, but need not, relate to a specific Option granted
under Section 6. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to
each grant or each recipient. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be
granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before exercise or
expiration of such Option. All Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan shall be granted subject to
the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Section 6; provided, however,
that Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with a previously granted Option shall have the
terms and conditions of such Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 6, the Administrator may
impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem
appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in shares of Common Stock, cash or
combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator. Other than in connection with a change in
the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 12) the exercise price of a Stock
Appreciation Rights may not be reduced without stockholder approval (including canceling previously
awarded Stock Appreciation Rights and regranting them with a lower exercise price).

8. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

     (a) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Units may be granted at any time and from time to time prior to the termination of the Plan to
Participants selected by the Administrator. Restricted Stock is an award or issuance of shares of
Common Stock the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or transferability of which is subject
during specified periods of time to such conditions (including continued employment or performance
conditions) and terms as the Administrator deems appropriate. Restricted Stock Units are Awards
denominated in units of Common Stock under which the issuance of shares of Common Stock is subject
to such conditions (including continued employment or performance conditions) and terms as the
Administrator deems appropriate. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, each Restricted
Stock Unit will be equal to one share of Common Stock and will entitle a Participant to either
shares of Common Stock or an amount of cash determined with reference to the value of shares of
Common Stock. To the extent determined by the Administrator, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Units may be satisfied or settled in Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof. Restricted Stock
and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan need not be identical but each grant of
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units must contain and be subject to the terms and conditions
set forth below.

     (b) Contents of Agreement. Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions regarding (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock or Restricted Stock Units subject to such Award or a formula for
determining such number, (ii) the purchase price of the shares, if any, and the means of payment,
(iii) the performance criteria, if any, and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall
determine the number of shares or units granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) such terms
and conditions on the grant, issuance, vesting and/or forfeiture of the shares or units as may be
determined from time to time by the Administrator, (v) restrictions on the transferability of the
shares or units and (vi) such further terms and conditions in each case not inconsistent with this
Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator. Shares of Common Stock issued
under a Restricted Stock Award may be issued in the name of the Participant and held by the
Participant or held by the Company, in each case as the Administrator may provide.

     (c) Sales Price. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Administrator shall
determine the price, if any, at which Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or
shares of Common Stock issuable under Restricted Stock Unit Awards, shall be sold or awarded to a
Participant, which may vary from time to time and among Participants and which may be below the
market price of such shares at the date of grant.

     (d) Vesting. The grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or settlement of shares of Restricted
Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall occur at such time and in such installments as determined by
the Administrator or under criteria established by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have
the right to make the timing of the grant and/or the issuance, ability to retain, vesting and/or
settlement of shares of Restricted Stock and under Restricted Stock Units subject to continued
employment, passage of time and/or such performance criteria as deemed appropriate by the
Administrator; provided that in no event shall the grant, issuance, retention, vesting and/or
settlement of shares under Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards that is based on
performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria be subject to a performance
period of less than one year and no condition that is based upon continued employment or the
passage of time shall provide for vesting or settlement in full of a Restricted Stock or Stock Unit
Award over a period of less than three years from the date the Award is made, other than as a
result of or upon the death, disability or retirement of the Participant, in each case as specified
in the agreement evidencing such Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
performance criteria for any Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit that is intended to satisfy
the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be a
measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Administrator and
specified at the time the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit is granted.

     (e) Discretionary Adjustments and Limits. Subject to the limits imposed under Code Section
162(m) for Awards that are intended to qualify as “performance based compensation,” notwithstanding
the satisfaction of any performance goals, the number of shares of

 

 

Common Stock granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award of Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units on account of either financial performance or personal performance
evaluations may be reduced by the Administrator on the basis of such further considerations as the
Administrator shall determine.

     (f) Voting Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Participants holding
shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those
shares during the period of restriction. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to
shares of Common Stock underlying Restricted Stock Units unless and until such shares are reflected
as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

     (g) Dividends and Distributions. Participants in whose name Restricted Stock is granted shall
be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to those shares,
unless determined otherwise by the Administrator. Any such dividends or distributions will be
subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the Restricted Stock with respect to which
they were distributed. Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to dividends or
dividend equivalents only to the extent provided by the Administrator.

9. Deferred Stock Units

     The Administrator may establish rules for the deferred delivery of Common Stock upon exercise
of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right and upon settlement, vesting or other events with respect
to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or in payment or satisfaction of an Incentive Bonus
or of any other compensation arrangement maintained by the Company or a Subsidiary, in each case
with the deferral evidenced by use of “Stock Units” equal in number to the number of shares of
Common Stock whose delivery is so deferred or to the value of the amount being so deferred. A
“Stock Unit” is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equivalent to the fair market value of
one share of Common Stock. Unless the Administrator specifies otherwise, Stock Units represent an
unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. Settlement of Stock Units upon expiration of the
deferral period shall be made in Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the
Administrator. The amount of Common Stock, or other settlement medium, to be so distributed may be
increased by dividend equivalents. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, during the
deferral period a Participant will not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including,
without limitation, voting rights and the right to receive dividends or distributions. Until a
Stock Unit is so settled, the number of shares of Common Stock represented by a Stock Unit shall be
subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12. Any Stock Units that are settled after the holder’s
death shall be distributed to the holder’s designated beneficiary(ies) or, if none was designated,
the holder’s estate.

10. Incentive Bonuses

     (a) General. Each Incentive Bonus Award will confer upon the Participant the opportunity to
earn a future payment tied to the level of achievement with respect to one or more performance
criteria established for a performance period of not less than one year.

     (b) Incentive Bonus Document. Each Award Agreement evidencing an Incentive Bonus shall contain
provisions regarding (i) the target and maximum amount payable to the Participant as an Incentive
Bonus, (ii) the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall
determine the amount of such payment, (iii) the term of the performance period as to which
performance shall be measured for determining the amount of any payment, (iv) the timing of any
payment earned by virtue of performance, (v) restrictions on the alienation or transfer of the
Incentive Bonus prior to actual payment, (vi) forfeiture provisions and (vii) such further terms
and conditions, in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time
by the Administrator.

     (c) Performance Criteria. The Administrator shall establish the performance criteria and level
of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the target and maximum amount payable
under an Incentive Bonus, which criteria may be based on financial performance and/or personal
performance evaluations. The Administrator may specify the percentage of the target Incentive Bonus
that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Code
Section 162(m). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the performance criteria for any
portion of an Incentive Bonus that is intended by the Administrator to satisfy the requirements for
“performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) shall be a measure based on one or more
Qualifying Performance Criteria (as defined in Section 13(b)) selected by the Administrator and
specified at the time the Incentive Bonus is granted. The Administrator shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been
satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment of any Incentive Bonus that
is intended to satisfy the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Code Section
162(m).

     (d) Timing and Form of Payment. The Administrator shall determine the timing of payment of any
Incentive Bonus. Payment of the amount due under an Incentive Bonus may be made in cash or in
shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may provide for or,
subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify, may permit a Participant to
elect for the payment of any Incentive Bonus to be deferred to a specified date or event.

     (e) Discretionary Adjustments. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the
amount paid under an Incentive Bonus on account of either financial performance or personal
performance evaluations may be reduced by the Administrator on the basis of such further
considerations as the Administrator shall determine.

 

 

11. Conditions and Restrictions Upon Securities Subject to Awards

     The Administrator may provide that the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of an
Option or Stock Appreciation Right or otherwise subject to or issued under an Award shall be
subject to such further agreements, restrictions, conditions or limitations as the Administrator in
its discretion may specify prior to the exercise of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the
grant, vesting or settlement of such Award, including without limitation, conditions on vesting or
transferability, forfeiture or repurchase provisions and method of payment for the shares issued
upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award (including the actual or constructive surrender
of Common Stock already owned by the Participant) or payment of taxes arising in connection with an
Award. Without limiting the foregoing, such restrictions may address the timing and manner of any
resales by the Participant or other subsequent transfers by the Participant of any shares of Common
Stock issued under an Award, including without limitation (i) restrictions under an insider trading
policy or pursuant to applicable law, (ii) restrictions designed to delay and/or coordinate the
timing and manner of sales by Participant and holders of other Company equity compensation
arrangements, and (iii) restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales
or other transfers.

12. Adjustment of and Changes in the Stock

     In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be increased or
decreased through a reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares, stock split, reverse
stock split, spin-off, dividend (other than regular, quarterly cash dividends), or otherwise, then
each share of Common Stock of the Company which has been authorized for issuance under the Plan,
whether such share is then currently subject to or may become subject to an Award under the Plan,
as well as the per share limits set forth in Section 5 of this Plan, may be proportionately
adjusted by the Administrator to reflect such increase or decrease, unless the Company provides
otherwise under the terms of such transaction. The terms of any outstanding Award may also be
adjusted by the Administrator as to price, number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award
and other terms to reflect the foregoing events.

     In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company, or any stock or other securities into which such Common Stock shall
have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, whether by reason of a change of
control, other merger, consolidation or otherwise, then the Administrator shall, in its sole
discretion, determine the appropriate adjustment, if any, to be effected. In addition, in the event
of such change described in this paragraph, the Administrator may accelerate the time or times at
which any Award may be exercised and may provide for cancellation of such accelerated Awards that
are not exercised within a time prescribed by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any adjustment to Options granted pursuant to this
Plan intended to qualify as ISOs shall comply with the requirements, provisions and restrictions of
the Code.

     No right to purchase fractional shares shall result from any adjustment in Awards pursuant to
this Section 12. In case of any such adjustment, the shares subject to the Award shall be rounded
down to the nearest whole share. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Company to each
Participant, which shall have been so adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not notice is given)
shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

13. Qualifying Performance-Based Compensation

     (a) General. The Administrator may establish performance criteria and level of achievement
versus such criteria that shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted,
retained, vested, issued or issuable under or in settlement of or the amount payable pursuant to an
Award, which criteria may be based on Qualifying Performance Criteria or other standards of
financial performance and/or personal performance evaluations. In addition, the Administrator may
specify a percentage of an Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements for
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the performance
criteria for any portion of an Award that is intended by the Administrator to satisfy the
requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be a
measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Administrator and
specified at the time the Award is granted. The Administrator shall certify the extent to which any
Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof,
prior to payment, settlement or vesting of any Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements
for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding satisfaction
of any performance goals, the number of shares issued under or the amount paid under an award may,
to the extent specified in the Award Agreement, be reduced by the Administrator on the basis of
such further considerations as the Administrator in its sole discretion shall determine.

     (b) Qualifying Performance Criteria. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Qualifying
Performance Criteria” shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either
individually, alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a
business unit or Subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and measured
either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a
pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in each
case as specified by the Administrator: (i) cash flow (before or after dividends), (ii) earnings
per share (including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), (iii) stock
price, (iv) return on equity, (v) total stockholder return, (vi) return on capital (including
return on total capital or return on invested capital), (vii) return on assets or net assets,
(viii) market capitalization, (ix) economic value added, (x) debt leverage (debt to capital), (xi)
revenue, (xii) income or net income, (xiii) operating income, (xiv) operating profit or net
operating profit, (xv) operating margin or profit margin, (xvi) return on operating revenue, (xvii)
cash from operations, (xviii) operating ratio, (xix) operating revenue, or (xx) customer service.
To the extent consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator may appropriately
adjust any evaluation of performance under a

 

 

Qualifying Performance Criteria to exclude any of the following events that occurs during a
performance period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (iii)
the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting
reported results, (iv) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs and (v) any
extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations appearing in the Company’s Forms 10-K or 10-Q for the applicable year.

14. Transferability

     Unless the Administrator specifies otherwise, each Award may not be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated by a Participant other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, and each Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be
exercisable only by the Participant during his or her lifetime.

15. Suspension or Termination of Awards

     Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at any time (including after a notice of
exercise has been delivered or an award has vested) the Chief Executive Officer or any other person
designated by the Administrator (each such person, an “Authorized Officer”) reasonably believes
that a Participant may have committed an Act of Misconduct as described in this Section 15, the
Authorized Officer, Administrator or Board of Directors may suspend the Participant’s rights to
exercise any Option, to vest in an Award, and/or to receive payment for or receive shares of Common
Stock in settlement of an Award pending a determination of whether an Act of Misconduct has been
committed.

     If the Administrator or an Authorized Officer determines a Participant has committed an act of
embezzlement, fraud, dishonesty, nonpayment of any obligation owed to the Company or any
Subsidiary, breach of fiduciary duty or deliberate disregard of the Company or Subsidiary rules
resulting in loss, damage or injury to the Company or any Subsidiary, or if a Participant makes an
unauthorized disclosure of any Company or Subsidiary trade secret or confidential information,
engages in any conduct constituting unfair competition, breaches any non-competition agreement,
induces any Company or Subsidiary customer to breach a contract with the Company or any Subsidiary,
or induces any principal for whom the Company or any Subsidiary acts as agent to terminate such
agency relationship (any of the foregoing acts, an “act of misconduct”), then except as otherwise
provided by the Administrator, (i) neither the Participant nor his or her estate nor transferee
shall be entitled to exercise any Option whatsoever, vest in or have the restrictions on an Award
lapse, or otherwise receive payment of an Award, (ii) the Participant will forfeit all outstanding
Awards and (iii) the Participant may be required, at the Administrator’s sole discretion, to return
and/or repay to the Company any then unvested shares of Common Stock previously issued under the
Plan. In making such determination, the Administrator or an Authorized Officer shall give the
Participant an opportunity to appear and present evidence on his or her behalf at a hearing before
the Administrator or an opportunity to submit written comments, documents, information and
arguments to be considered by the Administrator. Any dispute by a Participant or other person as to
the determination of the Administrator shall be resolved pursuant to Section 23 of the Plan.

16. Compliance with Laws and Regulations

     This Plan, the grant, issuance, vesting, exercise and settlement of Awards thereunder, and the
obligation of the Company to sell, issue or deliver shares under such Awards, shall be subject to
all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals
by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to
register in a Participant’s name or deliver any shares prior to the completion of any registration
or qualification of such shares under any foreign, federal, state or local law or any ruling or
regulation of any government body which the Administrator shall determine to be necessary or
advisable. To the extent the Company is unable to or the Administrator deems it infeasible to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the
Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder, the
Company and its Subsidiaries shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to
issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. No
Stock Option shall be exercisable and no shares shall be issued and/or transferable under any other
Award unless a registration statement with respect to the shares underlying such Stock Option is
effective and current or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary.

     In the event an Award is granted to or held by a Participant who is employed or providing
services outside the United States, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, modify the
provisions of the Plan or of such Award as they pertain to such individual to comply with
applicable foreign law or to recognize differences in local law, currency or tax policy. The
Administrator may also impose conditions on the grant, issuance, exercise, vesting, settlement or
retention of Awards in order to comply with such foreign law and/or to minimize the Company’s
obligations with respect to tax equalization for Participants employed outside their home country.

17. Withholding

     To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant shall
be required to satisfy, in a manner satisfactory to the Company, any withholding tax obligations
that arise by reason of an Option exercise, disposition of shares issued under an ISO, the vesting
of or settlement of deferred units under an Award, an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the
Code or otherwise with respect to an Award. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required
to issue shares of Common Stock, make

 

 

any payment or to recognize the transfer or disposition of shares until such obligations are
satisfied. The Administrator may permit these obligations to be satisfied by having the Company
withhold a portion of the shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be issued to him or her upon
exercise of the Option or the vesting or settlement of an Award, or by tendering shares previously
acquired.

18. Administration of the Plan

     (a) Administrator of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator who shall
be the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or, in the absence of a Compensation
Committee, the Board of Directors itself. Any power of the Administrator may also be exercised by
the Board of Directors, except to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would
cause any Award or transaction to become subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing
profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or cause an Award
designated as a Performance Award not to qualify for treatment as performance-based compensation
under Code Section 162(m). To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts
with action taken by the Administrator, the Board action shall control. The Compensation Committee
may by resolution authorize one or more officers of the Company to perform any or all things that
the Administrator is authorized and empowered to do or perform under the Plan, and for all purposes
under this Plan, such officer or officers shall be treated as the Administrator; provided, however,
that the resolution so authorizing such officer or officers shall specify the total number of
Awards (if any) such officer or officers may award pursuant to such delegated authority, and any
such Award shall be subject to the form of Option agreement theretofore approved by the
Compensation Committee. No such officer shall designate himself or herself or any Nonemployee
Director as a recipient of any Awards granted under authority delegated to such officer. In
addition, the Compensation Committee may delegate any or all aspects of the day-to-day
administration of the Plan to one or more officers or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary,
and/or to one or more agents.

     (b) Powers of Administrator. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Administrator
shall be authorized and empowered to do all things that it determines to be necessary or
appropriate in connection with the administration of this Plan, including, without limitation: (i)
to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define terms not
otherwise defined herein; (ii) to determine which persons are Participants, to which of such
Participants, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing of any such Awards, and to
grant Awards; (iii) to grant Awards to Participants and determine the terms and conditions thereof,
including the number of shares subject to Awards and the exercise or purchase price of such shares
and the circumstances under which Awards become exercisable or vested or are forfeited or expire,
which terms may but need not be conditioned upon the passage of time, continued employment, the
satisfaction of performance criteria, the occurrence of certain events (including events which the
Board or the Administrator determine constitute a Change of Control), or other factors; (iv) to
establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any performance goals or other conditions
applicable to the grant, issuance, exercisability, vesting and/or ability to retain any Award; (v)
to prescribe and amend the terms of the agreements or other documents evidencing Awards made under
this Plan (which need not be identical) and the terms of or form of any document or notice required
to be delivered to the Company by Participants under this Plan; (vi) to determine whether, and the
extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to Section 12; (vii) to interpret and construe
this Plan, any rules and regulations under this Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award
granted hereunder, and to make exceptions to any such provisions in good faith and for the benefit
of the Company; and (viii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the
administration of this Plan.

     (c) Determinations by the Administrator. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by
the Administrator regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and
conditions of or operation of any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all
Participants, beneficiaries, heirs, assigns or other persons holding or claiming rights under the
Plan or any Award. The Administrator shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole
and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations including,
without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or other employee of the Company
and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as it may select.

     (d) Subsidiary Awards. In the case of a grant of an Award to any Participant employed by a
Subsidiary, such grant may, if the Administrator so directs, be implemented by the Company issuing
any subject shares to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Administrator may
determine, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the shares to the
Participant in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Administrator pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Award may be issued by
and in the name of the Subsidiary and shall be deemed granted on such date as the Administrator
shall determine.

19. Amendment of the Plan or Awards

     The Board may amend, alter or discontinue this Plan and the Administrator may amend, or alter
any agreement or other document evidencing an Award made under this Plan but, except as provided
pursuant to the provisions of Section 12, no such amendment shall, without the approval of the
stockholders of the Company:

	 	(a)	 	increase the maximum number of shares for which Awards may be granted under this Plan;
	 
	 	(b)	 	reduce the price at which Options may be granted below the price provided for in Section 6(a);

 

 

	 	(c)	 	reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options;
	 
	 	(d)	 	extend the term of this Plan;
	 
	 	(e)	 	change the class of persons eligible to be Participants;
	 
	 	(f)	 	otherwise amend the Plan in any manner requiring
stockholder approval by law or under the NASDAQ National
Market listing requirements; or
	 
	 	(g)	 	increase the individual maximum limits in Sections 5(c) and (d).

     No amendment or alteration to the Plan or an Award or Award Agreement shall be made which
would impair the rights of the holder of an Award, without such holder’s consent, provided that no
such consent shall be required if the Administrator determines in its sole discretion and prior to
the date of any change of control (as defined in the applicable Award Agreement) that such
amendment or alteration either is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the
Award to satisfy any law or regulation or to meet the requirements of or avoid adverse financial
accounting consequences under any accounting standard.

20. No Liability of Company

     The Company and any Subsidiary or affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into
existence shall not be liable to a Participant or any other person as to: (i) the non-issuance or
sale of shares of Common Stock as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary
to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder; and (ii) any tax consequence expected, but
not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any
Award granted hereunder.

21. Non-Exclusivity of Plan

     Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board of Directors nor the submission of this Plan to
the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the
power of the Board of Directors or the Administrator to adopt such other incentive arrangements as
either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock or stock
options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or
applicable only in specific cases.

22. Governing Law

     This Plan and any agreements or other documents hereunder shall be interpreted and construed
in accordance with the laws of the Delaware and applicable federal law. Any reference in this Plan
or in the agreement or other document evidencing any Awards to a provision of law or to a rule or
regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or
applicability.

23. Arbitration of Disputes

     In the event a Participant or other holder of an Award or person claiming a right under an
Award or the Plan believes that a decision by the Administrator with respect to such person or
Award was arbitrary or capricious, the person may request arbitration with respect to such
decision. The review by the arbitrator shall be limited to determining whether the Participant or
other Award holder has proven that the Administrator’s decision was arbitrary or capricious. This
arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive review permitted of the Administrator’s decision.
Participants, Award holders and persons claiming rights under an Award or the Plan explicitly waive
any right to judicial review.

     Notice of demand for arbitration shall be made in writing to the Administrator within thirty
(30) days after the applicable decision by the Administrator. The arbitrator shall be selected by
those members of the Board of Directors who are neither members of the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors nor employees of the Company or any Subsidiary. If there are no such members
of the Board of Directors, the arbitrator shall be selected by the Board of Directors. The
arbitrator shall be an individual who is an attorney licensed to practice law in the District of
Columbia, Commonwealth of Virginia or State of Delaware. Such arbitrator shall be neutral within
the meaning of the Commercial Rules of Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association;
provided, however, that the arbitration shall not be administered by the American Arbitration
Association. Any challenge to the neutrality of the arbitrator shall be resolved by the arbitrator
whose decision shall be final and conclusive. The arbitration shall be administered and conducted
by the arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Rules of Dispute Resolution of the American
Arbitration Association. Each side shall bear its own fees and expenses, including its own
attorney’s fees, and each side shall bear one half of the arbitrator’s fees and expenses. The
decision of the arbitrator on the issue(s) presented for arbitration shall be final and conclusive
and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

24. No Right to Employment, Reelection or Continued Service

     Nothing in this Plan or an Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right
of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its affiliates to terminate any Participant’s employment,
service on the Board or service for the Company at any time or for any reason not prohibited by
law, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue his or her employment or service for any
specified period of time. Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall
constitute an employment contract with the Company, any Subsidiary and/or its affiliates,
accordingly, subject to Sections 4 and 19, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated
at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Board of Directors without giving rise to
any liability on the part of the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or its affiliates.
