ARTICLE 2

The Securities

     Section 2.01. Form and Dating. The Securities of each series shall be substantially in such
form or forms (not inconsistent with this Indenture) as shall be established by or pursuant to one
or more Board Resolutions or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted
by this Indenture and may have imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends or
endorsements, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply
with any law, or with any rules of any securities exchange or usage, all as may be determined by
the officers executing such

8

 

Securities as evidenced by their execution of the Securities. Unless otherwise so
established, Unregistered Securities shall have coupons attached.

     Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall execute the Securities and
one Officer shall execute the coupons appertaining thereto for the Company by facsimile or manual
signature in the name and on behalf of the Company. The seal of the Company, if any, shall be
reproduced on the Securities. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security or coupon
appertaining thereto no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the
Security and such coupon shall nevertheless be valid.

     The Trustee, at the expense of the Company, may appoint an authenticating agent (the
“Authenticating Agent”) to authenticate Securities. The Authenticating Agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by
the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent.

     A Security and the coupons appertaining thereto shall not be valid until the Trustee or
Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security or on the
Security to which such coupon appertains by an authorized officer. The signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Security or the Security to which the coupon appertains has been
authenticated under this Indenture.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series having attached thereto appropriate coupons, if any,
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication together with the applicable documents
referred to below in this Section, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such
Securities to or upon the written order of the Company. In authenticating any Securities of a
series, the Trustee shall receive prior to the authentication of any Securities of such series, and
(subject to Article 7) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, unless and until such
documents have been superseded or revoked:

     (a) any Board Resolution and/or executed supplemental indenture referred to in Sections 2.01
and 2.03 by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Securities of that series were
established;

     (b) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the form or forms and terms of the Securities,
stating that the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series have been, or, in the
case of a Periodic Offering, will be when established in accordance with such procedures as shall
be referred to therein, established in compliance with this Indenture; and

     (c) an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that the form or forms and terms of the
Securities of such series have been, or, in the case of a Periodic Offering, will be when
established in accordance with such procedures as

9

 

shall be referred to therein, established in compliance with this Indenture and that the
supplemental indenture, to the extent applicable, and Securities have been duly authorized and, if
executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and delivered to and
duly paid for by the purchasers thereof on the date of such opinion, would be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and would be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally, general principles of equity, and that all laws and requirements in respect of the
execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been complied with, and covering such
other matters as shall be specified therein and as shall be reasonably requested by the Trustee.

     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 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 Sections 2.01 and 2.02, if, in connection with a Periodic
Offering, all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver the Board Resolution otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01 or the
written order, Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to Section
2.02 at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are
delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such
series to be issued.

     With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the forms and
terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the
Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02, as
applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series.

     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.03 that the Securities of a series or a
portion thereof are to be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities, then the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Registered Global
Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of all of the Securities of such series issued in such form and not yet cancelled,
(ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Registered Global Security or
Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such
Depositary or its custodian or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions and (iv) shall bear a
legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in
part for Securities in definitive registered form, this Security may not be transferred

10

 

except as a whole by the Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the
Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such
nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.”

     The execution and delivery of the Guarantees by the Guarantors shall be evidenced by the
execution and delivery of this Indenture by each of the Guarantors as set forth in Section 10.08.
The terms of the Guarantees and obligations of the Guarantors are set forth in Article 10.

     Section 2.03. Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series. The aggregate principal amount of
Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

     The Securities may be issued in one or more series. There shall be established in or pursuant
to a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the initial issuance

exchange for, or in lieu of, or upon redemption of, other Securities of the series pursuant
hereto);

     (d) the date or dates on which the principal of the Securities of the series is payable (which

the series shall bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, on
which such interest shall be payable and (in the case of Registered Securities) on which a record
shall be taken for the determination of Holders to whom interest is payable and/or the method by
which such rate or rates or date or dates shall be determined;

     (f) if other than as provided in Section 4.02, the place or places where the principal of and
any interest on Securities of the series shall be payable, any Registered Securities of the series
may be surrendered for exchange, notices, demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of the series and this Indenture may be served and notice to Holders may be published;

11

 

     (g) the right, if any, of the Company to redeem Securities of the series, in whole or in part,
at its option and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and any terms
and conditions upon which Securities of the series may be so redeemed, pursuant to any sinking fund
or otherwise;

     (h) the obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem, purchase or repay Securities of the
series pursuant to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option
of a Holder thereof and the price or prices at which and the period or periods within which and any
of the terms and conditions upon which Securities of the series shall be redeemed, purchased or
repaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation;

     (i) if other than denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess

issued in temporary or permanent global form), or any combination of the foregoing, any

except in the case of any Periodic Offering and except as may otherwise be provided by or pursuant

such Board Resolution or in any such indenture supplemental hereto and any forms and terms of
Securities to be issued from time to time may be completed and established from time to time prior

Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or
in accordance with such plan as the Officers of the Company executing the same may determine, as
evidenced by their execution thereof.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities, each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication. The Securities of each series shall bear interest, if any,
from the date, and such interest and shall be payable on the dates, established as contemplated by
Section 2.03.

     The person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is registered at the close of
business on any record date applicable to a particular series with respect to any interest payment
date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest
payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Registered Security subsequent to the
record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall
default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which
case the provisions of Section 2.13 shall apply. The term “record date” as used with respect to
any interest payment date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Securities of
any series shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of the Registered Securities of such
series established as contemplated by Section 2.03, or, if no such date is so established, the
fifteenth day next preceding such interest payment date, whether or not such record date is a
Business Day.

     Section 2.05. Registrar and Paying Agent; Agents Generally. The Company shall maintain an
office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration, registration of transfer or
for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
payment (the “Paying Agent”), which shall be in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.
The Company shall cause the Registrar to keep a register of the Registered Securities and of their
registration, transfer and exchange (the “Security Register”). The Company may have one or more
additional Paying Agents or transfer agents with respect to any series.

     The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to
this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture and the Trust
Indenture Act that relate to such Agent. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the name and address of any Agent and any change in the name or address of an Agent. If
the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The
Company may remove any Agent upon written notice to such Agent

14

 

and the Trustee; provided that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance
of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced by an appropriate agency
agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii)
notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a
successor Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this proviso. The Company or any affiliate of the
Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar; provided that neither the Company, any Guarantor nor
an affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor shall act as Paying Agent in connection with the
defeasance of the Securities or the Guarantees or the discharge of this Indenture under Article 8.

     The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating
Agent. If, at any time, the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar shall make available to
the Trustee ten days prior to each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may
reasonably request the names and addresses of the Holders as they appear in the Security Register.

     Section 2.06. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Not later than 10:00 a.m. New York City
time on each due date or, in the case of Unregistered Securities, 10:00 a.m. New York City time on
the Business Day prior to the due date, of any Principal or interest on any Securities, the Company
shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such
Principal or interest. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree
in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of Principal of and
interest on such Securities and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in
making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during
the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon
doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the
Trustee. If the Company or any affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it will, on or
before each due date of any Principal of or interest on any Securities, segregate and hold in a
separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders thereof a sum of money sufficient to pay such
Principal or interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or
otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and will promptly notify the Trustee in
writing of its action or failure to act as required by this Section.

     Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary
global Unregistered Securities) and coupons (except for coupons attached to any temporary global
Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable by delivery.

15

 

     At the option of the Holder thereof, Registered Securities of any series (other than a
Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a Registered Security
or Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the
agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 2.05 and
upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. If the
Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise
established pursuant to Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities
of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized
denominations and an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered
Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose
in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons
attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon
payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. At the option of
the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of any series, maturity date, interest rate and
original issue date are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise
established pursuant to Section 2.03, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for
Unregistered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the
agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02,
with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured coupons and
all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company shall so
require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Registered Securities of any series may not be
exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. 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.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a series at the
agency of the Company that shall be maintained for that purpose in accordance with Section 2.05 and
upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided, 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 like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

     All Registered Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or
payment shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the holder or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.

16

 

     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 exchange or registration of transfer
of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any such transaction.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.07, unless and until it is exchanged in
whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security
representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such
Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

     If at any time the Depositary for any Registered Global Securities of any series notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Registered Global
Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Registered Global Securities shall no longer
be eligible under applicable law, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under
applicable law with respect to such Registered Global Securities. If a successor Depositary
eligible under applicable law for such Registered Global Securities is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the
Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Company’s order for the authentication
and delivery of definitive Registered Securities of such series and tenor, will authenticate and
deliver Registered Securities of such series and tenor, in any authorized denominations, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Registered Global Securities, in
exchange for such Registered Global Securities.

     The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the
Depositary determine that any Registered Global Securities of any series shall no longer be
maintained in global form. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt
of the Company’s order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Registered Securities of
such series and tenor, will authenticate and deliver, Registered Securities of such series and
tenor in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of such Registered Global Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Securities.

     Any time the Registered Securities of any series are not in the form of Registered Global
Securities pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Company agrees to supply the Trustee with
a reasonable supply of certificated Registered Securities without the legend required by Section
2.02 and the Trustee agrees to hold such Registered Securities in safekeeping until authenticated
and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

17

 

     If established by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to any Registered Global
Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global
Security in exchange in whole or in part for Registered Securities of the same series and tenor in
definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without
service charge,

     (a) to the Person specified by such Depositary new Registered Securities of the same
series and tenor, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest
in the Registered Global Security; and

     (b) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to
the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global
Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and
delivered pursuant to clause (a) above.

     Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this
Section 2.07 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or
indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the
Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons
in whose names such Securities are so registered.

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

     Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions
taken or not taken by the Depositary.

     Notwithstanding anything herein or in the forms or terms of any Securities to the contrary,
none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be required to
exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange would result in
adverse federal income tax consequences to the Company (such as, for example, the inability of the
Company to deduct from its income, as computed for federal income tax purposes, the interest
payable on the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United States federal income tax
laws. The Trustee and any such agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on an Officers’
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel in determining such result.

18

 

     The Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or
exchange Securities of any series for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of
redemption of such Securities to be redeemed or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part.

     Section 2.08. Replacement Securities. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a
mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such mutilated Security or in exchange
for the Security to which a mutilated coupon appertains, a new Security of the same series and of
like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with
coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated Security or to the
Security to which such mutilated coupon appertains.

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and 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 save each of them and any agent of any 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 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 of like tenor and principal amount 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.

     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, pay such Security or coupon (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated
Security or coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of
them harmless, and in the case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company
and the Trustee and any agent of them of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and the
ownership thereof; provided, however, that the Principal of and any interest on Unregistered
Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.02, be payable only at an office or
agency located outside the United States of America.

     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require 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.

19

 

     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 any mutilated Security, or in
exchange for a Security to which a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security and
coupons, if any, 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) any
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Securities or coupons.

     Section 2.09. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities
that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it
for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.08, those described in this Section 2.09 as not
outstanding and those that have been defeased pursuant to Section 8.05.

     If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless and
until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is
held by a holder in due course.

     If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an affiliate of the Company) holds on the
maturity date or any redemption date or date for repurchase of the Securities money sufficient to
pay Securities payable or to be redeemed or repurchased on that date, then on and after that date
such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

     A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its affiliates holds
such Security, provided, however, that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite
principal amount of the outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any affiliate of
the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities as to which a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has received written notice to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Any Securities so
owned which are pledged by the Company, or by any affiliate of the Company, as security for loans
or other obligations, otherwise than to another such affiliate of the Company, shall be deemed to
be outstanding, if the pledgee is entitled pursuant to the terms of its pledge agreement and is
free to exercise in its or his discretion the right to vote such securities, uncontrolled by the
Company or by any such affiliate.

20

 

     Section 2.10. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities of such
series. Temporary Securities of any series shall be substantially in the form of definitive
Securities of such series but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations
determined to be appropriate by the Officers executing the temporary Securities, as evidenced by
their execution of such temporary Securities. If temporary Securities of any series are issued,
the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the temporary Securities of
such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series and tenor upon surrender
of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose
pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one
or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of
such series and tenor and authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities
of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
of such series.

     Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may 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 for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The
Registrar, any transfer agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities
surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of in
accordance with its customary procedures all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment
or cancellation and shall, upon written request of the Company, deliver a certificate of
disposition to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has
paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     Section 2.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” and
“CINS” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers,
as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders and no
representation shall be made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the
Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange. The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or CINS numbers.

     Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the
Registered Securities, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately
available funds sufficient to pay, the defaulted interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest
payable on the defaulted interest (as may be specified in the terms thereof, established pursuant
to Section 2.03) to

21

 

the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which shall mean the 15th day
next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not
such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before such special record date, the Company shall
mail to each Holder of such Registered Securities and to the Trustee a notice that states the
special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

     Section 2.14. Series May Include Tranches. A series of Securities may include one or more
tranches (each a “tranche”) of Securities, including Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The
Securities of different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication
dates and public offering prices, but all the Securities within each such tranche shall have
identical terms, including authentication date and public offering price. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture, with respect to Sections 2.02 (other than the fourth, sixth and
seventh paragraphs thereof) through 2.04, 2.07, 2.08, 2.10, 3.01 through 3.05, 4.02, 6.01 through
6.14, 8.01 through 8.07, 9.02 and Section 11.07, if any series of Securities includes more than one
tranche, all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed
equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as though
originally designated a series unless otherwise provided with respect to such series or tranche
pursuant to Section 2.03. In particular, and without limiting the scope of the next preceding
sentence, any of the provisions of such sections which provide for or permit action to be taken
with respect to a series of Securities shall also be deemed to provide for and permit such action
to be taken instead only with respect to Securities of one or more tranches within that series (and
such provisions shall be deemed satisfied thereby), even if no comparable action is taken with
respect to Securities in the remaining tranches of that series.

ARTICLE 3

Redemption

     Section 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article 3 shall be applicable
to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.03 for Securities of such series.

     Section 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the Holders
of Registered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the
Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid,
at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders
of Registered Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the
registry books. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Securities of any series to be
redeemed as a whole or in part who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust

22

 

Indenture Act, shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption,
to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and, in the case of any such
notice given by the Company, the Trustee shall make such information available to the Company for
such purpose). Notice of redemption to all other Holders of Unregistered Securities of any series
to be redeemed as a whole or in part shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of
New York or with respect to any Security the interest on which is based on the offered quotations
in the interbank Eurodollar market for dollar deposits in an Authorized Newspaper in London, in
each case, once in each of three successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less
than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is
mailed or published in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any
defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole
or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other
Security of such series.

     The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal amount of each
Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the CUSIP numbers of the Securities to
be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the
manner of calculation thereof, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Securities with coupons attached
thereto, of all coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that
such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the
case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such
notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed
will cease to accrue. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice
of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall
state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new
Security or Securities of such series and tenor in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof will be issued.

     The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the
Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s written request at least 10 days prior
to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first
paragraph of this Section 3.02 (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) if
all of the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, or at least 15 days prior to the last date on
which notice of redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section
3.02 (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) if less than all the
outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, by the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Company.

23

 

     On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date or, in the case of
Unregistered Securities, on or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to
the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the
Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is
acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06)
an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such series so
called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the
date fixed for redemption. If all of the outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to the last date on which notice of
redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.02 (or such
shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all
such Securities are to be redeemed. If less than all the outstanding Securities of a series are to
be redeemed, the Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the last date on
which notice of redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section
3.02 (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate
stating the aggregate principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any
redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided
in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of
the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere
in this Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of
redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with
such restriction or condition.

     If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, and in accordance with the
procedures of the Depositary, Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part.
Securities may be redeemed in part in principal amounts equal to authorized denominations for
Securities of such series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such series
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 3.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been
given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall
become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after
such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption
price, together with interest accrued to such date) interest on the

24

 

Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and the
unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be void and, except as provided in Sections
7.12 and 8.02, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in
respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid
interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a
place of payment specified in said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto
maturing after the date fixed for redemption, said Securities or the specified portions thereof
shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided that payment of interest
becoming due on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall be payable in the case of
Securities with coupons attached thereto, to the Holders of the coupons for such interest upon
surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities, to the Holders of such Registered
Securities registered as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of
Sections 2.04 and 2.13 hereof.

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed
for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue
Discount Security) borne by such Security.

     If any Security with coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and is not
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption, the surrender
of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be
furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them
harmless.

     Upon presentation of any Security of any series redeemed in part only, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at
the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of such series and tenor (with any
unmatured coupons attached), of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

     Section 3.04. Exclusion of Certain Securities From Eligibility for Redemption. Securities
shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by
registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the
Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of
redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or
hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written
statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Company.

25

 

     Section 3.05. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund
payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms
of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. The
date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “sinking fund
payment date”.

     In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any
series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities
of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except through a mandatory sinking fund
payment) by the Company or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so
credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.11, (b) receive credit for optional
sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive
credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company at the
option of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through any optional sinking fund
payment. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the
sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

     On or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any series, or
such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, the Company will deliver to the Trustee
an Officers’ Certificate (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be
satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of specified Securities of
such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the specified Securities of
such series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the payment of
interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived
or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Company intends to exercise its
right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying
the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Company intends to pay on or before the
next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and
required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Company to be entitled to credit therefor
as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for
cancellation pursuant to Section 2.11 to the Trustee with such Officers’ Certificate (or reasonably
promptly thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officers’ Certificate shall be irrevocable
and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally obligated to make all
the cash payments or delivery of Securities therein referred to, if any, on or before the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such sixtieth day,
to deliver such Officer’s Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not
constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the
Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such

26

 

series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash
without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that
the Company will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in
this Section.

     If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on
the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund
payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request with
respect to the Securities of any series), such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking
fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption
price thereof together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption. If such
amount shall be $50,000 (or such lesser sum) or less and the Company makes no such request then it
shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or such lesser sum) is available. The
Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 3.02, for redemption on such sinking fund
payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as
nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Company) inform the Company of the
serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Securities
shall be excluded from eligibility for redemption under this Section if they are identified by
registration and certificate number in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least
60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and
not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in
such Officers’ Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct
or indirect common control with the Company. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the
Company (or the Company, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of
redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in
Section 3.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 3.03) for the redemption of Securities of
such series in part at the option of the Company. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so
applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash
sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the stated
maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is
accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such
series shall be applied, together with other moneys, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to
the payment of the Principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity.

     On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on each sinking fund payment date or, in the case
of Unregistered Securities, 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the sinking
fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the
payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on
the next following sinking fund payment date.

27

 

     The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking
fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the
sinking fund during the continuance of a Default in payment of interest on such Securities or of
any Event of Default except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall
theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities,
provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except
as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such Default or
Event of Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during
the continuance of such Default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article
6 and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been
waived as provided in Section 6.04 or the Default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the
sinking fund payment date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such
Securities.

ARTICLE 4

Covenants

     Section 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay the Principal of and interest on
the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and this Indenture. The
interest on Securities with coupons attached (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant
to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the
several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature.
The interest on any temporary Unregistered Securities (together with any additional amounts payable
pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest
evidenced by coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender thereof, and,
as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Unregistered
Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. The interest on Registered
Securities (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities)
shall be payable only to the Holders thereof (subject to Section 2.04) and at the option of the
Company may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of
such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register of the Company.

     Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture and the Securities of any series to the
contrary, if the Company and a Holder of any Registered Security so agree, payments of interest on,
and any portion of the Principal of, such Holder’s Registered Security (other than interest payable
at maturity or on any redemption or repayment date or the final payment of Principal on such
Security) shall be made by the Paying Agent, upon receipt from the Company of immediately available
funds by 11:00 A.M., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed to between the Company
and the Paying Agent), directly to the Holder of

28

 

such Security (by Federal funds wire transfer or otherwise) if the Holder has delivered
written instructions to the Trustee 15 days prior to such payment date requesting that such payment
will be so made and designating the bank account to which such payments shall be so made and in the
case of payments of Principal, surrenders the same to the Trustee in exchange for a Security or
Securities aggregating the same principal amount as the unredeemed principal amount of the
Securities surrendered. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the last instruction
delivered by the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.01 unless a new instruction is delivered 15 days
prior to a payment date. The Company will indemnify and hold each of the Trustee and any Paying
Agent harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses)
resulting from any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any such Holder in
connection with any such agreement or from making any payment in accordance with any such
agreement.

     The Company shall pay interest on overdue Principal, and interest on overdue installments of
interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate per annum specified in the Securities.

     Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the United
States of America, an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company hereby
initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, located in New York, New York, as
such office or agency of the Company. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 11.02.

     The Company will maintain one or more agencies in a city or cities located outside the United
States of America (including any city in which such an agency is required to be maintained under
the rules of any stock exchange on which the Securities of any series are listed) where the
Unregistered Securities, if any, of each series and coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be
presented for payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or coupon will be made upon
presentation of such Unregistered Security or coupon at an agency of the Company within the United
States of America nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an
address in, the United States of America unless, pursuant to applicable United States laws and
regulations then in effect, such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if full payment in United States Dollars (“Dollars”) at
each agency maintained by the Company outside the United States of America for payment on such
Unregistered Securities or coupons appertaining thereto is illegal or effectively precluded by
exchange controls or other similar

29

 

restrictions, payments in Dollars of Unregistered Securities of any series and coupons
appertaining thereto which are payable in Dollars may be made at an agency of the Company
maintained in the United States of America.

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

     Each of the Guarantors will maintain in the United States of America, an office or agency
where notices and demands to or upon any Guarantor in respect of the Guarantees and this Indenture
may be served. Each of the Guarantors hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, located in New York, New York, as such office or agency of each such Guarantor. Each
of the Guarantors will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in
the location, of such office or agency. If at any time any Guarantor 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 address of the Trustee
set forth in Section 11.02.

     Section 4.03. Securityholders’ Lists. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to
the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of
the holders of the Securities pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (a)
semi-annually not more than 15 days after each record date for the payment of semi-annual interest
on the Securities, as hereinabove specified, as of such record date, and (b) at such other times as
the Trustee may request in writing, within thirty days after receipt by the Company of any such
request as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished.

     Section 4.04. Certificate to Trustee. The Company will furnish to the Trustee annually, on
or before a date not more than 120 days after the end of its fiscal year (which, on the date
hereof, is a calendar year), a brief certificate (which need not contain the statements required by
Section 11.04) from its principal executive, financial or accounting officer as to his or her
knowledge of the compliance of the Company with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture
(such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided under this Indenture) which certificate shall comply with the requirements of the Trust
Indenture Act.

     Section 4.05. Reports by the Company. The Company covenants to file with the Trustee, within
15 days after the Company files the same with the

30

 

Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other reports
which the Company may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is
for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive
notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein,
including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

     Section 4.06. Additional Amounts. 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 and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of Principal of or interest
on the Securities of that series if there has been a change with respect to the matters set forth
in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the
principal paying agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee
and such paying agent whether such payment of Principal of or interest on the Securities of that
series shall be made to Holders of the Securities of that series without withholding or deduction
for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities
of that series. If any such withholding or deduction shall be required, then such Officers’
Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld or deducted on
such payments to such Holders and shall certify the fact that additional amounts will be payable
and the amounts so payable to each Holder, and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or such paying
agent the additional amounts required to be paid by this Section. 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 willful misconduct on their part
arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any
Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section.

     Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the Principal of
or interest or any other amounts on, or in respect of, any Security of any series, such mention
shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided by the terms of
such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, additional
amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express
mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be
construed as excluding the payment of additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made.

     Section 4.07. Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The Company shall file with the
Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of
original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding
Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such

31

 

other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of its property and assets (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) to, any Person unless:

     (a) (i) the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be the continuing Person or
(ii) the Person (if other than the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be,) formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is merged or to
which properties and assets of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be sold,
conveyed, transferred or leased shall be a Person organized and validly existing under the laws of
the United States of America or any jurisdiction thereof and shall expressly assume, by a
supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the
Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, on all of the Securities or the Guarantees, as the
case may be, and under this Indenture and the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be;

     (b) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and

     (c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (A) an Opinion of Counsel stating that
such consolidation, merger or sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture
(if any) complies with this provision and that all conditions precedent provided for herein
relating to such transaction have been complied with and that such supplemental indenture (if any)
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case
may be, and any such successor enforceable against such entity in accordance with its terms,
subject to customary exceptions and (B) an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     Section 5.02. Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale,
conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property and
assets of the Company or any Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01 of this Indenture, the

case may be, is merged or to which such sale, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition is
made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the
Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the

32

 

Company or a Guarantor, as the case may be, herein and thereafter the predecessor Person,
except in the case of a lease, shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this
Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees, as applicable.

ARTICLE 6

Default and Remedies

     Section 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall occur with respect to the
Securities of any series if:

     (a) the Company defaults in the payment of the Principal of any Security of such series when
the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or mandatory
repurchase, including as a sinking fund installment, or otherwise;

     (b) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Security of such series when the
same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

     (c) a failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with its agreements contained in this
Indenture (other than those referenced in clauses (a) and (b) above) and such failure continues for
90 days after written notice to the Company or any such Guarantor, as applicable, by the Trustee or
to the Company or any such Guarantor, as applicable, and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby (acting
as a separate series) specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating
that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

     (d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in
respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its
property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall
remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

     (e) the Company (i) commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an
involuntary case under any such law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company
or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or (iii) effects any
general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

33

 

     (f) any Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms
of this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or the applicable
Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or Guarantee; or

     (g) any other Event of Default established pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to the
Securities of such series occurs.

     No Event of Default with respect to a single series of Securities issued hereunder (and under
or pursuant to any supplemental indenture, Officers’ Certificate or Board Resolution) specific to
such series shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to any other series of Securities
unless otherwise provided in this Indenture or any supplemental indenture, Officers’ Certificate or
Board Resolution with respect to any other series of Securities.

     Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default other than as described in clauses
(d) or (e) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Securities of any series then outstanding occurs and
is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series of Securities the
principal of which shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any such series then
outstanding hereunder by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any such series are
Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of such series established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all Securities of such series, and
the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

     (b) If an Event of Default described in clauses (d) or (e) of Section 6.01 occurs and is
continuing, then the principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof established
pursuant to Section 2.03) of all the Securities then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if
any, shall be and become immediately due and payable, without any notice or other action by any
Holder or the Trustee, to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

     The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the
principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal as may be specified in the terms thereof established pursuant to Section 2.03) of the
Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared
or become due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due
shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit
with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the
Securities of each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of
any and all Securities of each

34

 

such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due
otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment
of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the
same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount
Securities) specified in the Securities of each such series to the date of such payment or deposit)
and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 7.07,
and if any and all Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the non-payment of the
principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived
or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of all the then outstanding Securities of all such series that have been
accelerated (voting as a single class), by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may
waive all defaults with respect to all such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the
case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or
rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any
right consequent thereon.

     For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue
Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared or become due and payable pursuant to
the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been
rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be
deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and
payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as
shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon
and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue
Discount Securities.

     Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If a payment default or an Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or
as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect
the payment of Principal of and interest on the Securities of such series or to enforce the
performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture.

     The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

     Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal as is then accelerable under Section 6.02) of the
outstanding Securities of all series affected (voting as a single class), by notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities
of such series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of Principal of or

35

 

interest on any Security as specified in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 or in respect of a
covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.

     Section 6.05. Control by Majority. Subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02(e), the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal as is then accelerable under Section 6.02) of the
outstanding Securities of any series may 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 by this Indenture; provided, that the
Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may
involve the Trustee in personal liability or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction; and
provided further, that the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not
inconsistent with any directions received from Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 6.05.

     Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series may institute any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of any series,
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

     (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities of
such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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

     (e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of such series have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent
with such written request.

36

 

     A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a
preference or priority over such other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have
an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial
to such Holders).

     Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of Principal of or
interest, if any, on such Holder’s Security on or after the respective due dates expressed on such
Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective
dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

     Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of any series in payment of Principal or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of
Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount (or such portion thereof as
specified in the terms established pursuant to Section 2.03 of Original Issue Discount Securities)
of Principal of, and accrued interest remaining unpaid on, together with interest on overdue
Principal of, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue
installments of interest on, the Securities of such series, in each case at the rate or Yield to
Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, and such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 7.07.

     Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim
and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the
Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and
receive any moneys, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange
of the Securities or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
to the Trustee any amount due to it under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the
rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding.

     Section 6.10. Application of Proceeds. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this
Article in respect of the Securities of any series shall be applied in the following order at the
date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case

37

 

of the distribution of such moneys on account of Principal or interest, upon presentation of
the several Securities and coupons appertaining to such Securities in respect of which moneys have
been collected and noting thereon the payment, or issuing Securities of such series and tenor in
reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities of such series and tenor if only
partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 applicable
to the Securities of such series in respect of which moneys have been collected;

     SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which
moneys have been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the
payment of interest on the Securities of such series in default in the order of the
maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such
interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at
the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the
persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

     THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which
moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the
payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series
for Principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue Principal, and (to the extent
that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of
interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series; and in
case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid
upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such Principal and interest or
Yield to Maturity, without preference or priority of Principal over interest or Yield to
Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity over Principal, or of any installment of
interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over
any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such Principal and accrued
and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and

     FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other person
lawfully entitled thereto.

     Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding
has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee
or to such Holder, then, and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding,
the

38

 

Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former
positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, the Guarantors, the
Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. 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, in either case in respect to the Securities of any series, a court may require any party
litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit,
and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses,
against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply
to a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, a suit instituted by the Trustee or a suit by
Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series.

     Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities in Section
2.08, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     Section 6.14. Delay or Omission not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 7

Trustee

     Section 7.01. General. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided
by the Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of
this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability
or expense. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every

39

 

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 Article 7.

     Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 315(a)
through (d):

     (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon any resolution, certificate, Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel (or both),
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the 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 at the
sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason
of such inquiry or investigation;

     (b) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
and/or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to Section 11.04 and shall cover such other
matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. Subject to
Sections 7.01 and 7.02, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee
shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or
suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof
be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of
the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate
delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the
part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof;

     (c) the Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents not regularly in its employ and shall
not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due
care;

     (d) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be
herein specifically prescribed); and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy
thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

40

 

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

     (f) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or
omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05
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;

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

     (h) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving
of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel, Board
Resolution, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in
writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of all series affected then outstanding; provided that, if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in
the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require
indemnity satisfactory to it against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding;

     (i) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)
irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action;

     (j) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any
event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture;

     (k) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended

41

 

to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each
agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;

     (l) the Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance
of its powers and duties hereunder; and

     (m) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers authorized to take specified actions pursuant to this
Indenture.

     Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or
its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the
same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and
311. For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6), the following terms shall
mean:

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

     (b) “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which
is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase,
processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is
secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or
merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise
previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee
simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the
making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

     Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities
(except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as statements of the Company
and not of the Trustee and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.
Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents (a) makes any representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture, the Guarantees or the Securities and (b) shall be accountable for the
Company’s use or application of the proceeds from the Securities.

     Section 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default with respect to the Securities of any series
occurs and is continuing and if such Default is known to the actual knowledge of a Responsible
Officer with the corporate trust department of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder
of Securities of such series notice of such Default within 90 days after it occurs (a) if any
Unregistered

42

 

Securities of such series are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication at
least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at
least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London and (b) to all Holders of Securities of such series
in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, unless such
Default shall have been cured or waived before the mailing or publication of such notice; provided,
however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the Principal of or interest on
any Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if the Trustee in good
faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

     Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such
reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to
the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. If required by
Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall, within 60 days after each July 15
following the date of this Indenture, deliver to Holders a brief report, dated as of such July 15,
which complies with the provisions of such Section 313(a).

     A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the
Trustee with each stock exchange upon which any Securities are listed, with the Commission and with
the Company. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing when any Securities are listed
on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

     Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee such
compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing from time to time for its services. The
compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an
express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon request
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee or such predecessor Trustee. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses of the Trustee’s or such predecessor Trustee’s agents, counsel and other persons not
regularly in their employ.

     The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold them
harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, cost, liability or expense incurred by them without
negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this Indenture and the Securities or the issuance of the Securities or of series
thereof or the trusts hereunder and the performance of duties under this Indenture and the
Securities, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any
claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Guarantor, a Holder or any other Person) or liability and
of complying with any process served upon them or any of their officers in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties under this Indenture and the Securities.

43

 

     To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its
capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay Principal of, and interest on
particular Securities.

     The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and
each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the rejection or termination of this
Indenture under bankruptcy law. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of
the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds
held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or coupons, and the
Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. Without prejudice to any other rights
available to the Trustee under applicable law, if the Trustee renders services and incurs expenses
following an Event of Default under Section 6.01(d) or Section 6.01(e) hereof, the parties hereto
and the holders by their acceptance of the Securities hereby agree that such expenses are intended
to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

     Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee as Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series and appointment of a successor Trustee as Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

     The Trustee may resign as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series at any time by
so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor
Trustee with respect thereto with the consent of the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee
as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series if: (i) the Trustee is no longer eligible
under Section 7.11 of this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) a
receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee
becomes incapable of acting.

     If the Trustee resigns or is removed as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series,
or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series for
any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect thereto. Within
one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of such series may appoint a successor Trustee in respect of such
Securities to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series does not deliver its written acceptance required by
Section 7.09 within 30 days after the retiring

44

 

Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series may petition at the expense of the
Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
thereto.

     The Company shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee in respect of the
Securities of such series to all Holders of Securities of such series. Each notice shall include
the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

     Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
pursuant to this Section 7.08 and Section 7.09, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

     Section 7.09. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the
request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its
charges and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, 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.

     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 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

45

 

hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such
Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the
Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.

     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 the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

     No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be eligible under this Article and qualified under Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 7.10. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or
national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same
effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein.

     Section 7.11. Eligibility. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition.

     Section 7.12. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by
the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except
for money held in trust under Article 8 of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 8

Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Unclaimed Moneys

     Section 8.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. If at any time (a) the Company shall
have paid or caused to be paid the Principal of and interest on all the Securities of any series
outstanding hereunder (other than Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or
stolen and which have been

46

 

replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08) as and when the same shall have become due and
payable, (b) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of any
series theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities of such series which shall have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08)
or (c) (i) all the securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable
within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory
to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption, and (ii) the Company shall have irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the entire amount in cash
(other than moneys repaid by the Trustee or any paying agent to the Company in accordance with
Section 8.04) or U.S. Government Obligations, maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts
and at such times as will insure (without consideration of the reinvestment of such interest) the
availability of cash, or a combination thereof, sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption
all Securities of such series (other than any Securities of such series which shall have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08)
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and interest due or
to become due on or prior to such date of maturity or redemption as the case may be, and if, in any
such case, the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company with respect to Securities of such series, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further
effect with respect to Securities of such series (except as to (1) rights of registration of
transfer and exchange of securities of such series, and the Company’s right of optional redemption,
if any, (2) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, (3) rights of
Holders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon, upon the original stated due
dates therefor (but not upon acceleration) and remaining rights of Holders to receive mandatory
sinking fund payments, if any, (4) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder
and (5) the rights of Holders of such series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property
so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them), and the Trustee, on demand of the
Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction of and
discharging this Indenture with respect to such series; provided, that the rights of Holders of the
Securities to receive amounts in respect of Principal of and interest on the Securities held by
them shall not be delayed longer than required by then-applicable mandatory rules or policies of
any securities exchange upon which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to reimburse the
Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred and to compensate the
Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection
with this Indenture or the Securities of such series.

     Section 8.02. Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities. Subject
to Section 8.04, all moneys (including U.S. Government

47

 

Obligations and the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01,
8.05 or 8.06 shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either directly or through
any paying agent to the Holders of the particular Securities of such series for the payment or
redemption of which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become
due thereon for Principal and interest; but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

     Section 8.03. Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, all moneys then held by
any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities
shall, upon demand of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying
agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

     Section 8.04. Return of Moneys Held by Trustee and Paying Agent Unclaimed for Two Years. Any
moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any paying agent for the payment of the Principal
of or interest on any Security of any series and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years
after the date upon which such Principal or interest shall have become due and payable, shall, upon
the written request of the Company and unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of
applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company by the Trustee
for such series or such paying agent, and the Holder of the Security of such series shall, unless
otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property
laws, thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to
collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any paying agent with respect to such moneys shall
thereupon cease.

     Section 8.05. Defeasance and Discharge of Indenture. The Company shall be deemed to have
paid and shall be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Securities of any
series, on the 123rd day after the deposit referred to in clause (i) hereof has been made, and the
provisions of this Indenture shall no longer be in effect with respect to the Securities of such
series (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except as to: (a) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, and the
Company’s right of optional redemption, if any, (b) the substitution of mutilated, defaced,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, (c) rights of Holders to receive payments of principal
thereof and interest thereon, upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon

of such series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property deposited with the Trustee
payable to all or any of them; provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

48

 

     (i) with reference to this provision the Company has deposited or caused to be
irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another qualifying trustee satisfying the
requirements of Section 7.11) as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security
for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series,
(A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of
interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide not
later than one day before the due date of any payment referred to in subclause (x) or (y)
of this clause (i) money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge without
consideration of the reinvestment of such interest and after payment of all federal, state
and local taxes or other charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the Trustee
(x) the principal of, premium, if any, and each installment of interest on the outstanding
Securities of such series on the due dates thereof and (y) any mandatory sinking fund
payments or analogous payments applicable to the Securities of such series on the day on
which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of Securities of such
series and the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series;

     (ii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee (A) either (x) an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or
loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option
under this Section 8.05 and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit,
defeasance and discharge had not occurred, which Opinion of Counsel must be based upon a
ruling of the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect or a change in applicable
federal income tax law or related treasury regulations after the date of this Indenture or
(y) a ruling directed to the Trustee received from the Internal Revenue Service to the
same effect as the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel and (B) an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the creation of the defeasance trust does not violate the Investment Company
Act of 1940 and after the passage of 123 days following the deposit, the trust fund will
not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or Section 15 of
the New York Debtor and Creditor Law;

     (iii) immediately after giving effect to such deposit on a pro forma basis, no Event
of Default, or event that after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become
an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or
during the period ending on the 123rd day after the date of such deposit, and such deposit
shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default

49

 

under any Guarantees or, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a
party or by which the Company is bound;

     (iv) if at such time the Securities of such series are listed on a national
securities exchange, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the Securities of such series will not be delisted as a result of such
deposit, defeasance and discharge;

     (v) 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 and
discharge under this Section have been complied with; and

     (vi) if the Securities of such series are to be redeemed prior to the final maturity
thereof (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice of
such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision
therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made.

     Section 8.06. Defeasance of Certain Obligations. The Company may omit to comply with any
term, provision or condition set forth in, and this Indenture will no longer be in effect with
respect to, any covenant established pursuant to Section 2.03(t) and clause (c) (with respect to
any covenants established pursuant to Section 2.03(s)) and clause (g) of Section 6.01 shall be
deemed not to be an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series, if

     (a) with reference to this Section 8.06, the Company has deposited or caused to be irrevocably
deposited with the Trustee (or another qualifying trustee satisfying the requirements of Section
7.11) as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the
benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series and the Indenture with respect to the
Securities of such series, (i) money in an amount or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations which through
the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
provide not later than one day before the due dates thereof or earlier redemption (irrevocably
provided for under agreements satisfactory to the Trustee), as the case may be, of any payment
referred to in subclause (x) or (y) of this clause (a) money in an amount, or (iii) a combination
thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
discharge without consideration of the reinvestment of such interest and after payment of all
federal, state and local taxes or other charges and assessments in respect thereof payable by the
Trustee (x) the principal of, premium, if any, and each installment of interest on the outstanding
Securities of such series on the due date thereof or earlier redemption (irrevocably provided for
under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee), as the case may be, and (y) any mandatory sinking
fund payments or analogous payments applicable to the Securities of such series and the Indenture
with respect to the Securities of such series on the day on which

50

Securities of such series and the Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series;

     (b) the Company has delivered to the Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section 8.06 and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that the creation of the defeasance trust does not violate the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and after the passage of 123 days following the deposit, the trust fund will
not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or Section 15 of the New
York Debtor and Creditor Law;

     (c) immediately after giving effect to such deposit on a pro forma basis, no Event of Default,
or event that after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default,
shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on
the 123rd day after the date of such deposit, and such deposit shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under any other agreement or instrument to which the Company
is a party or by which the Company is bound;

     (d) if at such time the Securities of such series are listed on a national securities
exchange, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Securities of such series will not be delisted as a result of such deposit, defeasance and
discharge; and

     (e) 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 this Section have been
complied with.

     Section 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or paying agent is unable to apply any monies or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this
Article until such time as the Trustee or paying agent is permitted to apply all such monies or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Article 8; provided, however, that if the Company
has made any payment of Principal of or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of
its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the monies or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or paying
agent.

51

 

     Section 8.08. Indemnity. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.08 and Section 8.02, the “Trustee”)
against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.05 or 8.06 or the principal or 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 the Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon written request of the Company,
any money or U.S. Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it
as provided in Section 8.01, 8.05 or 8.06 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 discharge or defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article 8.

     Section 8.10. Qualifying Trustee. Any trustee appointed pursuant to Section 8.05 or 8.06 for
the purpose of holding money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to such Sections

ARTICLE 9

Amendments, Supplements and Waivers

     Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Securities of any series without notice to or the consent of any
Holder:

     (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Indenture; provided that such
amendments or supplements shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders;

     (b) to comply with Article 5;

     (c) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of
this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

     (d) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder with respect to the
Securities of any or all series by a successor Trustee and to add to or change any of the
provisions of this Indenture as shall be

52

 

necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than
one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.09;

     (e) to establish the form or forms or terms of Securities of any series or of the coupons
appertaining to such Securities as permitted by Section 2.03;

     (f) to provide for uncertificated or Unregistered Securities and to make all appropriate
changes for such purpose;

     (g) to add any additional guarantors on the terms set forth in Article 10; and

     (h) to make any change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

     Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, without prior
notice to any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Securities of
any series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of each series affected by such amendment, and the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby by written notice to
the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the
Securities of such series.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.02, without the consent of each Holder
affected thereby, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

     (a) change the stated maturity of the Principal of, or any sinking fund obligation or any
installment of interest on, such Holder’s Security or the times at which it may be redeemed or
repurchased;

     (b) reduce the Principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (including any amount
in respect of original issue discount);

     (c) change the coin or currency in which any Security or any premium or interest thereon is
payable;

     (d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the
maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date);

     (e) make any changes that would affect the ranking for the Securities in a manner adverse to
the Holders;

     (f) reduce the above stated percentage of outstanding Securities the consent of whose holders
is necessary to modify or amend the Indenture with respect to the Securities of the relevant
series;

53

 

     (g) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Securities of the relevant series
the consent of whose Holders is required for any supplemental indenture or for any waiver of
compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults and their consequences
provided for in this Indenture;

     (h) release any Guarantor from its Guarantee, except as provided in Section 10.09 or in the
terms (as set forth on the original issue date) of the series of Securities of such Holders
affected thereby; and

     (i) make any changes to this paragraph of Section 9.02.

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

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Holder under this Section 9.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Company shall give to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. The Company will mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way
impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

     Section 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consent. Until an amendment or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent
Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the Security of the
consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of its Security.
Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the
date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver
shall become effective with respect to any Securities affected thereby on receipt by the Trustee of
written consents from the requisite Holders of outstanding Securities affected thereby.

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date (which may be not less than
five nor more than 60 days prior to the solicitation of consents) for the purpose of determining
the Holders of the Securities of any series affected entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the immediately preceding
paragraph,

54

 

those Persons who were such Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and
only those Persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to
revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be such Holders after
such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such
record date.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities of
any series affected thereby, it shall bind every Holder of such Securities unless it is of the type
described in any of clauses (a) through (i) of Section 9.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of
the type described in clauses (a) through (i) of Section 9.02, the amendment or waiver shall bind
each such Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security that evidences
the same indebtedness as the Security of the consenting Holder.

     Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver
changes the terms of any Security, the Trustee may require the Holder thereof to deliver it to the
Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and
return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security of such
series thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the
Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security
of the same series and tenor that reflects the changed terms.

     Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully
protected in conclusively relying upon, an (i) an Officers’ Certificate and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel.
The Opinion of Counsel shall state  that the execution of any
amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture, that all requisite consents have been obtained or that no consents are
required and  that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to
customary exceptions. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment,
supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

     Section 9.06. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed
pursuant to this Article 9 shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in
effect.

ARTICLE 10

Guarantees

     Section 10.01. The Guarantees. Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each of the
Guarantors hereby irrevocably, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees on an
unsecured and unsubordinated basis, the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon
redemption, purchase

55

 

pursuant to an offer to purchase or acceleration, or otherwise) of the Principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, each Security of any series, and the
full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Company under this Indenture. Upon
failure by the Company to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand
pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Indenture.

     Section 10.02. Guarantees Unconditional, Etc. The obligations of each of the Guarantors
hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

     (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any
obligation of the Company under this Indenture or any Security of any series, by operation of law
or otherwise;

     (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Indenture or any Security of any
series;

     (c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its
assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in this
Indenture or any Security of any series;

     (d) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which any Guarantor may have at any
time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any
such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

     (e) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of
this Indenture or any Security of any series, or any provision of applicable law or regulation
purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on any Security of any series or any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture; or

     (f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any
other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this
paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder.

     Section 10.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. The Guarantors’ obligations hereunder will remain
in full force and effect until the Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities
and all other amounts payable by the Company under this Indenture have been paid in full. If at any
time any payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of any series or
any other amount payable by the Company under this Indenture is rescinded or must

56

 

be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Company or otherwise, the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be
reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

     Section 10.04. Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any
requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company or any other
Person.

     Section 10.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any
obligation of the Company under this Article 10, any Guarantor making such payment will be
subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation, provided
that any such Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive
payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Person who guarantees the
Securities, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Company hereunder or
under the Securities remains unpaid.

     Section 10.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount
payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Securities is stayed upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration
under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on
demand by the Trustee or the Holders.

     Section 10.07. Limitation on Amount of Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Article 10, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantees of such Guarantors not
constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United
States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of other U.S. and non-U.S. law. To effectuate
that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not
render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance
provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of other U.S. and
non-U.S. law.

     Section 10.08. Execution and Delivery of Guarantees. (a) The execution by each of the
Guarantors of this Indenture evidences each Guarantee of each such Guarantor, whether or not the
person signing as an Officer of each such Guarantor still holds that office at the time of
authentication of any Security of any series and (b) the delivery of any Security of any series by
the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Guarantees as set forth in this
Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors, except in the case of clauses (a) and (b) as otherwise
provided by an indenture supplemental hereto with respect to any such

57

 

Security of any series executed and delivered to the Trustee in accordance with the provisions
of Article 9.

     Section 10.09. Release of Guarantee. This Guarantee of a Guarantor will terminate:

     (a) Upon a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the
Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (in
each case other than to the Company or a Guarantor or a Person who, prior to such sale or other
disposition, is an affiliate of the Company or a Guarantor); or

     (b) Upon defeasance or discharge of the Securities, as provided in Article 8.

     Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in
order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee.

     Section 10.10. Additional Guarantors. If any Subsidiary of the Company shall become a
guarantor under the Bank Credit Agreement, then the Company shall promptly cause such Subsidiary to
become a Guarantor by causing such Subsidiary to execute and deliver an indenture supplemental
hereto to the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, which such supplemental
indenture, pursuant to Section 10.08, shall evidence the Guarantee of such additional Guarantor
under this Indenture.

ARTICLE 11

Miscellaneous

     Section 11.01. Trust Indenture Act of 1939. This Indenture shall incorporate and be governed
by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of and to govern
indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 11.02. Notices. Any notice or communication shall be sufficiently given if written
and (a) if delivered in person when received or (b) if mailed by first class mail 5 days after
mailing, or (c) as between the Company, any Guarantor and the Trustee if sent by facsimile
transmission, when transmission is confirmed, in each case addressed as follows:

Attention: General Counsel

     if to the Trustee:

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association

New York, NY 10006

Attention: Corporate Trust Services

     The Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee by written notice to the other may designate
additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

     Any notice or communication shall be sufficiently given to Holders of any Unregistered
Securities, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York, or
with respect to any Security the interest on which is based on the offered quotations in the
interbank Eurodollar market for dollar deposits at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London,
and by mailing to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act at such addresses as were so furnished to
the Trustee and to Holders of Registered Securities by mailing to such Holders at their addresses
as they shall appear on the Security Register. Notice mailed shall be sufficiently given if so
mailed within the time prescribed. Copies of any such communication or notice to a Holder shall
also be mailed to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

     Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its
sufficiency with respect to other Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, if a
notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided in this Section 11.02, it is duly given,
whether or not the addressee receives it.

     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.

     In case it shall be impracticable to give notice as herein contemplated, then such
notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient
notification for every purpose hereunder.

     Section 11.03. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or
application by the Company or by any Guarantor to the Trustee to

59

 

take any action under this Indenture, the Company or any such Guarantor shall furnish to the
Trustee:

     (a) an Officers’ Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
complied with; and

     (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions
precedent have been complied with.

     Section 11.04. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion
with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than
the certificate required by Section 4.04) shall include:

     (a) a statement that each person signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or
condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

     (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon
which the statement or opinion contained in such certificate or opinion is based;

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

     (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such person, such condition or
covenant has been complied with; provided, however, that, with respect to matters of fact, an
Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officers’ Certificate or certificates of public officials.

     Section 11.05. Evidence of Ownership. The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent
of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee may deem and treat the Holder of any Unregistered
Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or coupon
(whether or not such Unregistered Security or coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving
payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company, any
Guarantor, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary. The fact of the holding by any Holder of an Unregistered
Security, and the identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be
proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank,
banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such
certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be
dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security bearing a specified identifying number
was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer
by the person named

60

 

in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more
Unregistered Securities specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate
of any Unregistered Securities specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one
year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (1)
another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced
or (2) the Security specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other Person, or (3)
the Security specified in such certificate shall have ceased to be outstanding. Subject to Article
7, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of
Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument may also be proven in accordance with
such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in any other manner
which the Trustee may deem sufficient.

     The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the
Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered
upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of such Registered Security
(whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the
Principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Registered Security
and for all other purposes; and neither the Company, any Guarantor nor the Trustee nor any agent of
the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     Section 11.06. Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable
rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Paying Agent or Registrar may make reasonable
rules for its functions.

     Section 11.07. Payment Date Other Than a Business Day. Except as otherwise provided with
respect to a series of Securities, if any date for payment of Principal or interest on any Security
shall not be a Business Day at any place of payment, then payment of Principal of or interest on
such Security, as the case may be, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day at any place of payment with the same force and effect as if made on such
date and no interest shall accrue in respect of such payment for the period from and after such
date.

     Section 11.08. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. The laws of the State of New York shall
govern this Indenture and the Securities, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

61

 

     Section 11.09. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used
to interpret another indenture or loan or debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company. Any such indenture or agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

     Section 11.10. Successors. All agreements of the Company and the Guarantors in this
Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees, as applicable, shall bind their successors. All
agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

     Section 11.11. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same
agreement. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF
transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties
hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the
parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for
all purposes.

     Section 11.12. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture, in the Securities or
in the Guarantees 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 11.13. Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The Table of Contents and headings of the
Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are
not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and
provisions hereof.

     Section 11.14. Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of Company Exempt From
Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in
this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, or in any Security or any coupons appertaining
thereto or in any Guarantee, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against
any incorporator, as such or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer, director or
employee, as such, of the Company or any Guarantor or of any successor thereof, either directly or
through the Company or any Guarantor or of 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 and the coupons appertaining thereto by the holders thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities and the coupons appertaining thereto.

     Section 11.15. Judgment Currency. Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees, to the
fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of
obtaining judgment in any court it is

62

 

necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the Principal of or interest on the Securities
of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the
“Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with
normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency
with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such
day is not a Business Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate of exchange
used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could
purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the Business
Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under
this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied
by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with
subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the
Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as
an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency
the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the
Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being
obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture.

     Section 11.16. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any
failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use
reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

     Section 11.17. U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with
Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to
help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record
information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an
account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee
with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the
U.S.A. Patriot Act.
