          COLGATE-PALMOLIVE
COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any
successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value
received, hereby promises to pay, to                                                                          , or registered assigns, the Principal
Amount of                                                                           , on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (or any Redemption Date
or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof, or any earlier date
of acceleration of maturity) (each such date being hereinafter referred to as
the “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and
to pay interest thereon (and on any overdue principal, premium and/or interest
to the extent legally enforceable) at a rate per annum equal to the Initial
Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified
above and thereafter at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions
specified above and on the reverse hereof or in an Addendum hereto with respect
to one or more Interest Rate Bases specified above until the principal hereof
is paid or duly made available for payment. 

          The
Company will pay interest in arrears on each Interest Payment Date specified
above (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing with the first Interest
Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on
the Maturity Date; provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date occurs
between a Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment
Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date to the registered holder of this
Note (the “Holder”) on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest
Payment Date. 

          Interest
on this Note will accrue from, and including, the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or from, and
including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid or duly
provided for, to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity
Date, as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”). The interest so payable,
and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as
provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or
one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below) immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Record Date”); provided, however,
that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to
whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be payable. Any
such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest
Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder at the close of business on any Record Date and may either be paid to
the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special
Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the
Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note by the
Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date or may
be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided for
in the Indenture. 

          Payment
of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the
Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and
surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable repayment of this
Note, upon delivery of a duly completed election form as contemplated on the
reverse hereof) at the office of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, in such coin or currency
of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. Payment of interest due on any Interest
Payment Date 

3

other than the
Maturity Date will be made at the aforementioned office of the Trustee or, at
the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register
maintained by the Trustee; provided, however, that a Holder of U.S.$10,000,000
or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having identical or
different terms and provisions) shall, at the option of the Company, be
entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire
transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15
calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date. Any such wire transfer
instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by
such Holder. 

          If
any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date would otherwise be a day
that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to
the next succeeding Business Day, except that if EURIBOR or LIBOR is an
applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately
preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or
interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on such Maturity Date, and no interest shall accrue with
respect to such payment for the period from and after the Maturity Date to the
date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day. 

          As
used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday,
that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are
authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The
City of New York; provided, however, that with respect to non-United States
dollar-denominated notes, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks
are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in
the Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing the
specified currency or, if the specified currency is euro, the day is also a
Target Settlement Day (as defined below); provided, further, that, with respect
to floating rate notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis,
the day is also a London Banking Day (as defined below) and that, with respect
to floating rate notes as to which EURIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate
Basis, the day is also a Target Settlement Day. 

          “London
Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business,
including dealings in the Designated LIBOR Currency, in London. 

          “Principal
Financial Center” means (1) the capital city of the country issuing the
specified currency, or (2) the capital city of the country to which the Designated
LIBOR Currency relates, except, in each case, that with respect to United
States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, New Zealand
dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center”
will be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, London (solely in the case of
the Designated LIBOR Currency), Wellington, Johannesburg and Zurich,
respectively. 

          Unless
otherwise set forth above or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum
hereto, “U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day other than a
Saturday, Sunday or a day on which The Securities Industry and Financial
Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members
be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government
securities. 

4

          “Target
Settlement Day” means a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time
Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System, or any successor, is open. 

          Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse
hereof and, if so specified on the face hereof, in an Addendum hereto, which
further provisions shall have the same force and effect as if set forth on the
face hereof. 

          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if an Addendum is attached hereto or “Other/Additional
Provisions” apply to this Note as specified above, this Note shall be subject
to the terms set forth in such Addendum or such “Other/Additional Provisions”. 

          Unless
the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by
manual signature of one of its authorized officers, this Note shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY 

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES G 

(Floating Rate)

          This
Note is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities (the “Debt
Securities”) of the Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated
as of November 15, 1992, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time
(the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon
(formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities, and of the
terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. This Note is one of the Debt Securities of the series designated as
“Medium-Term Notes, Series G, Due One Year or More From Date of Issue” (the
“Notes”). All terms used but not defined in this Note or in an Addendum hereto
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture or on the face
hereof, as the case may be. 

          This
Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum
denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples thereof or other Authorized
Denomination specified on the face hereof. 

          Except
as otherwise provided in the Indenture and as set forth below, the Notes will
be issued in global form only, registered in the name of the Depositary or its
nominee and ownership of the Notes shall be maintained in book-entry form by
the Depositary for the accounts of participating organizations of the
Depositary. If this Note is a global note, this Note is exchangeable for
certificated Notes only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as Depositary for this global Note and a successor
depositary is not appointed by the Company within 60 days after the Depositary
notifies the Company, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that
this global Note shall be exchangeable for certificated Notes of this series in
registered form or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes
represented hereby has occurred and is continuing. 

          Unless
otherwise specified on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the
following two paragraphs, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and
will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated Maturity Date. 

          This
Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date on
or after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, in
whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 unless otherwise
specified above (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at
least U.S.$1,000 unless otherwise specified above), at the Redemption Price (as
defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon to the date fixed
for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), on written notice given to the Holder
hereof (in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture) not more than 60
nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date. In the event of
redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the
unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms 

7

and provisions
as this Note shall be issued by the Company in the name of the Holder hereof
upon the presentation and surrender hereof. 

          Unless
otherwise specified above, the “Redemption Price” shall be the Initial
Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof (as adjusted by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof)
multiplied by the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed. 

          This
Note may be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the Holder
hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof,
in whole or in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 (provided that any remaining
principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000), at a repayment price
equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with unpaid
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment (the “Repayment
Date”). For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the
Holder hereof, the Trustee must receive at its corporate trust office not more
than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date, this Note
with the form thereon entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly
completed. Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be
irrevocable. In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of
like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms
and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the Company in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof. 

          If
the Discount Note box is checked above, the amount payable to the Holder of
this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity of
this Note will be equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price specified on the face
hereof (increased by any accruals of the Discount, as defined below, and
reduced by any amounts of principal previously paid) and, in the event of any
redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption
Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if
applicable) and (ii) any unpaid interest accrued hereon to the Redemption Date,
Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be. The
difference between the Issue Price specified above and 100% of the principal
amount of this Note is referred to herein as the “Discount.” 

          For
purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any
Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this
Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause an assumed yield on the Note
to be constant. The assumed constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day
month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the
Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between
Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a
coupon rate equal to the initial interest rate applicable to this Note and an
assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated. If the
period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the
“Initial Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a
proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be
accrued. If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such
period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period,
with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence. 

          The
interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows: 

8

	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (i)
 Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as
 a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note” or an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” or the
 face hereof specifies that either “Other/Additional Provisions” or an
 Addendum hereto applies, in each case, relating to a different interest rate
 formula, this Note shall be designated as a “Regular Floating Rate Note” and,
 except as set forth below or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum
 hereto, shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the
 applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any,
 and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as
 specified on the face hereof. Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date,
 the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of
 each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof; provided, however,
 that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original
 Issue Date to, but excluding, the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the
 Initial Interest Rate. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (ii)
 If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as a
 “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”, then, except as set forth below or specified
 on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at
 the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or
 Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the
 Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof.
 Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on
 this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided,
 however, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period from the
 Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Initial Interest Reset Date shall
 be the Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the
 period commencing on, and including, the Fixed Rate Commencement Date
 specified on the face hereof to the Maturity Date shall be the Fixed Interest
 Rate specified on the face hereof or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is
 specified, the interest rate in effect hereon on the day immediately
 preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date. 

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
           (iii)
 If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as an
 “Inverse Floating Rate Note”, then, except as set forth below or specified on
 the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at
 the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the
 applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any,
 and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as
 specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the
 interest rate hereon shall not be less than zero percent. Commencing on the
 Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be
 payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however,
 that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date
 to, but excluding, the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial
 Interest Rate. 

 

          Except
as set forth above or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto,
the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (i) if such day is an Interest
Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date
(as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if
such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the
Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest
Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect
for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the
Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest 

9

Rate. If any
Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such
Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day,
except that if EURIBOR or LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such
Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset
Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. In addition, if the
Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest
Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such
Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. 

          The
interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing on the
related Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of
the applicable Interest Determination Date and will be calculated by the
Calculation Agent on or prior to the Calculation Date (as defined below). The
determination of any interest rate by the Calculation Agent will be final and
binding absent manifest error. The “Interest Determination Date” with respect
to the CD Rate and the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the second Business Day
immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; the “Interest
Determination Date” with respect to the CMT Rate shall be the second U.S.
Government Securities Business Day immediately preceding the applicable
Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the
Prime Rate shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable
Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be the last Business Day of the
month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date on which the
Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the “FHLB of San Francisco”) publishes
the Index (as defined below); the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to
the Federal Funds Rate shall be the applicable Interest Reset Date; the
“Interest Determination Date” with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London
Banking Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless
the Designated LIBOR Currency is the British pounds sterling, in which case the
Interest Determination Date will be the applicable Interest Reset Date; and the
Interest Determination Date with respect to EURIBOR shall be the second Target
Settlement Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date. The
“Interest Determination Date” with respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the
day in the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day
Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (i.e., Treasury Bills
are normally sold at an auction held on Monday of each week, unless such Monday
is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the
immediately succeeding Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the
preceding Friday) or, if no auction is held for a particular week, the first
Business Day of that week; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the
Friday of the week preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the “Interest
Determination Date” shall be such preceding Friday; provided, further that if
the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date,
then such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business
Day. If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to two or
more Interest Rate Bases specified on the face hereof, the “Interest
Determination Date” pertaining to this Note shall be the most recent Business
Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset
Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate
Basis shall be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate
shall take effect on the related Interest Reset Date.  

          Subject
to applicable provisions of law, and unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof or in an Addendum hereto, the rate with respect to each Interest Rate
Basis will be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below. 

10

          CD
Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face
hereof as the CD Rate, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (a “CD Rate Interest Determination Date”) as the
rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in H.15(519)
(as defined below) under the caption “CDs (secondary market)”, or, if not

rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States
dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined below), or such other
recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate,
under the caption “CDs (secondary market).” If such rate is not yet published
in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00
P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on
such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation
Agent specified on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the
secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such CD
Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading non-bank dealers in
negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York
selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar
certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks for
negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit with a remaining
maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof in an
amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that
time; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation

          CMT
Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face
hereof as the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (a “CMT Rate Interest Determination Date”) in
accordance with the following provisions: 

          (i)
if Reuters Page FRBCMT (as defined below) is specified above, the percentage
equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity”
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in H.15(519)
under the caption “Treasury constant maturities”, as the yield is displayed on
Reuters, (“Reuters”) (or any successor service) on page FRBCMT, or any other page
as may that specified page on that service (“Reuters Page FRBCMT”) or, if not
displayed on Reuters, as displayed on the Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) service
(or any successor service) on page NDX 7 (or any other page as may replace the
specified page on that service) (“Bloomberg Page NDX 7”), for such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page
FRBCMT or Bloomberg Page NDX 7, as the case may be, the CMT Rate on such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date will be the percentage equal to the yield for
United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” 

11

having the
Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date published in
H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury constant maturities”. If such rate does
not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination
Date will be the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date for the
period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as may then be
published by either the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or the United
States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be
comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been published in H.15(519).
If the Federal Reverse System Board of Governors or the United States
Department of the Treasury does not publish a yield on United States Treasury
securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate on such
CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation
Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the
secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on
such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading primary United
States government securities dealers in The City of New York (each, a
“Reference Dealer”) selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference
Dealers and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality,
one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one
of the lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity
equal to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, a remaining term to
maturity no more than one year shorter than the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof and in a principal amount that is representative for a single
transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five
but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such
CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation
Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and
neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated. If
fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent
and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary
market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such
CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the
Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent
and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity longer
than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, a remaining term to
maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, and in a
principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such
securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two
such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be
based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest
nor the lowest of the quotations will be eliminated; provided, however, that if
fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined
as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on
such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date. If two such United States Treasury
securities with an original maturity longer than the Index Maturity specified
on the face hereof have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof, the quotes for the Treasury security
with the shorter original term to maturity will be used. 

          (ii)
if Reuters Page FEDCMT (as defined below) is specified above, the percentage
equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield for
United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index
Maturity specified on the face hereof 

12

published in
H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury constant maturities”, as such yield is
displayed on Reuters (or any successor service) on page FEDCMT, or any other
page as may replace that specified page on that service (“Reuters Page FEDCMT”)
or, if not so displayed on Reuters, as displayed on the Bloomberg service (or
any successor service) on Bloomberg Page NDX 7, for the week or month, as
applicable, ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in
which such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date falls. If such rate does not
appear on the Reuters Page FEDCMT or Bloomberg Page NDX 7, as the case may be,
the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Rate Determination Date will be the
percentage equal to the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average
yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the
Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and for the week or month, as
applicable, preceding such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date published in
H.15(519) opposite the caption “Treasury constant maturities”. If such rate
does not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be the one-week or one-month, as specified above,
average yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity”
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as otherwise announced
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the week or month, as applicable,
ended immediately preceding the week or month, as applicable, in which such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date falls. If the one-week or one-month, as
specified above, average yield on United States Treasury securities at
“constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof for
the applicable week or month is not published, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and
will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary
market bid prices at approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT
Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the
Calculation Agent from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation
Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one
of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of
the lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity
equal to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, a remaining term to
maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than the Index Maturity specified on
the face hereof and in a principal amount that is representative for a single
transaction in such securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five
but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such
CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent
and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither
the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated. If fewer than
three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a
yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid
prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate
Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the
Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent
and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity longer
than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, a remaining term to
maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a
principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such
securities in such market at such time. If fewer than five but more than two
such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest
Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be
based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest
or the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated; provided, however, that if
fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined
as of such CMT Rate Interest

13

Determination
Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination
Date. If two such United States Treasury securities with an original maturity
longer than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof have remaining
terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity specified on the face
hereof, the quotes for the United States Treasury security with the shorter
original remaining term to maturity will be used.

          Commercial
Paper Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the
face hereof as the Commercial Paper Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate shall be
determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Commercial
Paper Rate Interest Determination Date”) as the Money Market Yield (as defined
below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity
specified on the face hereof published in H.15(519) under the caption
“Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial” or, if not so published by 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Money Market Yield of the rate
on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date for commercial paper
having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in H.15 Daily
Update, or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of
displaying such rate, under the caption “Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.” If
such rate is not so published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another
recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such
Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate on such Commercial Paper Rate
Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and
shall be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates at
approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Commercial Paper Rate
Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of United States dollar
commercial paper in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for
commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof placed
for industrial issuers whose bond rating is “Aa”, or the equivalent, from a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization; provided, however,
that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as
mentioned in this sentence, the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of such
Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Commercial Paper
Rate in effect on such Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.

          “Money
Market Yield” means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in
accordance with the following formula:

 X 360

 	
  

 	
 X 100

 
	
  

 	

 

 	

 

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 360
 – (D X M)

 	
  

 

          where
“D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a
bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and “M” refers to the actual
number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period.

          Eleventh
District Cost of Funds Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is
specified on the face hereof as the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate, the
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be determined as of the applicable
Interest Determination Date (an “Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date”) as the rate equal to the monthly weighted average cost of
funds for the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which such
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date falls, as set
forth under the caption “11TH District” on the display on Reuters (or any
successor service) on page COFI/ARMS or any other page as may replace that
specified page on such service (“Reuters Page COFI/ARMS”) or, if not so
displayed on Reuters, as displayed on the Bloomberg service 

14

(or any successor
service) on page ALLX COF (or any other page as may replace the specified page
on that service) (“Bloomberg Page ALLX COF”), in each case as of 11:00 A.M.,
San Francisco time, on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page COFI/ARMS or
Bloomberg Page ALLX COF, as the case may be, on such Eleventh District Cost of
Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, then the Eleventh District Cost of
Funds Rate on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination
Date shall be the monthly weighted average cost of funds paid by member
institutions of the Eleventh Federal Home Loan Bank District that was most
recently announced (the “Index”) by the FHLB of San Francisco as such cost of
funds for the calendar month immediately preceding such Eleventh District Cost
of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date. If the FHLB of San Francisco fails
to announce the Index on or prior to such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate
Interest Determination Date for the calendar month immediately preceding such
Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest Determination Date, the Eleventh
District Cost of Funds Rate determined as of such Eleventh District Cost of
Funds Rate Interest Determination Date will be the Eleventh District Cost of
Funds Rate in effect on such Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate Interest
Determination Date.

          EURIBOR.
If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as

Determination Date and in a principal amount not less than the equivalent of
U.S. $1 million in euros that is representative for a single transaction in
euro in that market at that time, or (iii) if fewer than two quotations
referred to in clause (ii) are so provided, the rate on such EURIBOR Interest Determination
Date calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the rates

Rate. If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face
hereof as the Treasury Rate, the Treasury Rate shall be determined as of the
applicable Interest Determination Date (a “Treasury Rate Interest Determination
Date”) as the rate from the auction held on such Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date (the “Auction”) of direct obligations of the United States
(“Treasury Bills”) having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof under
the caption “INVEST RATE” on the display on Reuters (or any successor service)
on page USAUCTION 10, or any other page as may replace that specified page on
that service (“Reuters Page USAUCTION 10”) or page USAUCTION 11, or any other
page as may replace that specified page on that service (“Reuters Page
USAUCTION 11”) or, if not so displayed on Reuters, as displayed on the
Bloomberg service (or any successor service) on page AUCR 18 (or any other page
as may replace that page on that service) or, if such rate not so published by
3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the Bond
Equivalent Yield of the auction rate of such Treasury Bills as announced by the
United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that such auction rate
is not so announced by the United States Department of Treasury on such
Calculation Date, or if no such Auction is held, then the Treasury Rate
determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date shall be the
Bond Equivalent Yield of the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination
Date of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof
published in H.15(519) under the caption “U.S. government securities/Treasury
bills (secondary market)” or, if not yet published by 3:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date of such Treasury Bills published in H.15 Daily Update, or
such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such
rate, under the caption “U.S. government securities/Treasury bills(secondary
market).” If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or
another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
related Calculation Date, then the Treasury Rate determined as of such Treasury
Rate Interest Determination Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent
as the Bond Equivalent Yield of the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid
rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such Treasury Rate
Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government
securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent, for the issue of Treasury
Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the
face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected
by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the
Treasury Rate determined as of such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date
shall be the Treasury Rate in effect on such Treasury Rate Interest
Determination Date.

          “Bond
Equivalent Yield” means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in
accordance with the following formula:

	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 Bond
 Equivalent Yield =

 	
  

 	 	
 D
 X N

 	
  

 	
 X 100

 
	
  

 	

 

 	

 

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
 360
 – (D X M)

 	
  

 

          where
“D” refers to the applicable per annum rate for Treasury Bills quoted on a bank
discount basis and expressed as a decimal, N refers to 365 or 366, as the case
may be, and “M” refers to the actual number of days in the applicable Interest
Reset Period.

          Any
provision contained herein, including the determination of an Interest Rate
Basis, the specification of an Interest Rate Basis, calculation of the interest
rate applicable to this Note, its Interest Payment Dates or any other matter
relating thereto may be modified as specified in an Addendum relating hereto if
so specified above. 

          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum
Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any,
specified above. In addition to any maximum Interest Rate applicable hereto
pursuant to the above provisions, the interest rate on this Note will in no
event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same
may be modified by the United States law of general application. 

          The
Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereof in accordance with
the foregoing on or before each Calculation Date. At the request of the Holder
hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the Holder hereof the interest
rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will
become effective as of the next Interest Reset Date. 

          The
“Calculation Date”, if applicable, pertaining to any Interest Determination
Date shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest
Determination Date or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable
Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. At the request
of the Holder hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide to the Holder hereof
the interest rate hereon then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate
that will become effective as a result of a determination made for the next
succeeding Interest Reset Date.

          Accrued
interest hereon shall be an amount calculated by multiplying the principal
amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued interest factor shall
be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the
applicable Interest Period. Unless otherwise specified as the Day Count
Convention on the face hereof, the interest factor for each such date shall be
computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360 if the CD
Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate,
EURIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime Rate is an applicable
Interest Rate Basis or by the actual number of days in the year if the CMT Rate
or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis. Unless otherwise
specified as the Day Count Convention on the face hereof, the interest factor
for this Note, if the interest rate is calculated with reference to two or more
Interest Rate Bases, shall be calculated in each period in the same manner as
if only the applicable Interest Rate Basis specified on the face hereof
applied.

20

          All
percentages resulting from any calculation on this Note shall be rounded to the
nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths
of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be
rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all amounts used in or resulting from
such calculation on this Note shall be rounded, in the case of United States
dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign currency, to the
nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).

          If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes
may be accelerated in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

          The
Indenture permits the amendment thereof for specified purposes, including,
among other things, curing ambiguities and correcting inconsistencies, by the
Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders. The Indenture also
permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of
the Holders of any series of Debt Securities to be adversely affected thereby
at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of Debt Securities at the
time outstanding, adversely affected thereby. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of each series, on behalf
of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the
Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the
Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

          No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in
respect of this Note at the times, places and rate or formula, and in the coin
or currency, herein prescribed.

          As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Security Register of the
Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office
or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or by his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Notes of Authorized Denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount with the same terms and provisions, will be issued by the
Company to the designated transferee or transferees.

          The
Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons and, if payable in
U.S. dollars, only in denominations of U.S.$1,000 and any integral multiple of
U.S.$1,000. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Notes of this series of a different denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

          No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

21

          Prior
to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder as the
owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary, except as required by law.

          THE
INDENTURE AND THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

          Capitalized
terms used herein without definition which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     Section 2.3. Execution and Authentication.

          An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

          If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the
Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.

          A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an
authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture.

          The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for original
issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or
Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may
authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company
or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in
writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise provided by
a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate.

          The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not
exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section

supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of
that Series or of Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series or
of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c)
an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4.

          The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such

lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive
committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine that such action
would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of
Securities.

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate
Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.
Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes

9

 

authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal
with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

     Section 2.4. Registrar and Paying Agent.

          The Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place or places
specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.2, an office or agency where Securities
of such Series may be presented or surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of
such Series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such Series and this
Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register with respect to
each Series of Securities and to their transfer and exchange. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each
Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any
such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with
the name and address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or
served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as
its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional paying
agents or additional service agents and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in
each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying agent or
additional service agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent”
includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service
agent.

          The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent
for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case may be, is
appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.

     Section 2.5. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

          The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that
the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Securityholders of any Series of
Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or
interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in
making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent
to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to
pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if
other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the
money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying

10

 

Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders
of any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent.

     Section 2.6. Securityholder Lists.

          The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities and
shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee at least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times
as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders of each Series of Securities.

     Section 2.7. Transfer and Exchange.

          Where Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request
to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of the same
Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such
transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6).

          Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer
of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of business
fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that
Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or
(b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being
called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected,
called or being called for redemption in part.

     Section 2.8. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

          If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same Series and
of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

          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 and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing
a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

          In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security 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.

          Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.

          Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately
with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder.

          The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Securities.

     Section 2.9. Outstanding Securities.

          The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee
except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the
interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and
those described in this Section as not outstanding.

          If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide
purchaser.

          If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such
Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to
be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

          A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company
holds the Security.

          In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities
have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the
principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes
shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such
determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2.

12

 

     Section 2.10. Treasury Securities.

          In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series
have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver,
Securities of a Series owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded,
except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on
any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver only Securities of a
Series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

     Section 2.11. Temporary Securities.

          Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee
shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be
substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company
considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall
prepare and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series
and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary
securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive Securities.

     Section 2.12. Cancellation.

          The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar
and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for
registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered
for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy such canceled
Securities (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) and deliver a
certificate of such destruction to the Company, from time to time upon written request from the
Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest.

          If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall pay the
defaulted interest to the persons who are Securityholders of the Series on a subsequent special
record date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least 10 days before the
record date, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a
notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may also pay defaulted interest in any other lawful
manner.

     Section 2.14. Global Securities.

          2.14.1. Terms of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or
an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall be issued in
whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and the Depositary for such Global
Security or Securities.

13

 

          2.14.2. Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary
contained in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be
exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of
Holders other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depositary
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global
Security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered
as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) the Company
executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global
Security shall be so exchangeable. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary
shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
Global Security with like tenor and terms.

          Except as provided in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except as
a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary, by
a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor
Depositary.

          2.14.3. Legend. Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:

          “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred
to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. This Security
is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the Depositary or its
nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, 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 a successor Depositary.”

          2.14.4. Acts of Holders. The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and
otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder is entitled to give or take under the
Indenture.

          2.14.5. Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and interest, if
any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.

          2.14.6. Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14.5,
the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount
of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in
a written statement of the Depositary with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of
obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders
pursuant to this Indenture.

14

 

     Section 2.15. CUSIP Numbers.

          The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such numbers in notices of redemption as
a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in
any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of
identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers.

ARTICLE III.

REDEMPTION

     Section 3.1. Notice to Trustee.

          The Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay
the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or any part
thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and on such terms as provided for in such
Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to
redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant to the
terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date, the principal amount
of Series of Securities to be redeemed, and other terms of the redemption required to be included
in the notice of redemption to the Securityholders pursuant to Section 3.3. The Company shall give
the notice at least two Business Days before the date that the notice of redemption is required to
be transmitted to the Securityholders (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee).

     Section 3.2. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

          Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, if less than all the Securities of a Series are to be
redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities of the Series to be redeemed in any manner that
the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of
the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption
portions of the principal of Securities of the Series that have denominations larger than the
minimum principal denomination for Securities of the Series. Securities of the Series and portions
of them it selects shall be in an authorized principal denomination (which shall not be less than
the minimum principal denomination) for each Series. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of that Series
called for redemption.

     Section 3.3. Notice of Redemption.

          Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder
whose Securities are to be redeemed.

15

 

          The notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall state:

     (a) the redemption date;

     (b) the redemption price;

     (c) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

     (d) that Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the
Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

     (e) that interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue on
and after the redemption date;

     (f) the CUSIP, ISIN or similar number, if any; and

     (g) any other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series or
the Securities of a Series being redeemed.

          At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s
name and at its expense.

     Section 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

          Once notice of redemption is mailed or published as provided in Section 3.3, Securities of a
Series called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption
price, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Securities at the applicable redemption price, together with any interest accrued to said date) any
interest on the Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. A notice of redemption
may not be conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the
redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

     Section 3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.

          On or before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit
with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any,
on all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

     Section 3.6. Securities Redeemed in Part.

          Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the
Holder a new Security of the same Series and the same maturity equal in principal amount to the
unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

16

COVENANTS

     Section 4.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.

          The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of Securities

that Series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.

     Section 4.2. SEC Reports.

          The Company shall file with the Trustee and the SEC such information, documents and other
reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the
times and in the manner provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that, unless available on
EDGAR (or any successor thereto), any such information, documents or reports required to be filed
with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee
within 30 days after the same is filed with the SEC. The Company shall be deemed to have complied
with the previous sentence to the extent that such information, documents and reports are filed
with the SEC via EDGAR (or any successor thereto).

          Delivery of such information, documents and reports 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 an Officers’ Certificate).

     Section 4.3. Compliance Certificate.

          The Company shall furnish to the Trustee annually, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer,
principal accounting officer or vice president and treasurer as to his or her knowledge of the
Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (which compliance shall
be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this
Indenture).

          The Company will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee,
promptly (and in any event within 30 days) after the Company becomes aware of any Default or Event
of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action
the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

     Section 4.4. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

          The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities; and the Company (to
the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law
and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay

17

 

or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

     Section 4.5. Corporate Existence.

          Subject to Article V, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve
and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and rights (charter and statutory);
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right if the Board
of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of
the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not
adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

ARTICLE V.

SUCCESSORS

     Section 5.1. When Company May Merge, Etc.

          The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all
or substantially all of its properties and assets to, any person (a “successor person”) unless:

Company) is an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic
jurisdiction and expressly assumes the Company’s obligations on the Securities and under
this Indenture; and

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

          The Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction
an Officers’ Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
proposed transaction and any supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture.

          Notwithstanding the above, any Subsidiary of the Company may consolidate with, merge into or
transfer all or part of its properties to the Company. Neither an Officers’ Certificate nor an
Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered in connection therewith.

     Section 5.2. Successor Entity Substituted.

          Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1, the successor
entity formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such
sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and
may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if
such successor person has been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that
the predecessor Company in the case of a sale, conveyance or other disposition (other than a lease)
shall be released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

ARTICLE VI.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

     Section 6.1. Events of Default.

          “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any Series, means any
one of the following events, unless in the establishing Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or
Officers’ Certificate, it is provided that such Series shall not have the benefit of said Event of
Default:

     (a) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that Series when it
becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the
entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent prior to the expiration of such period of 30 days); or

     (b) default in the payment of principal of any Security of that Series at its
Maturity; or

     (c) default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of the Company in
this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in this Indenture
solely for the benefit of Series of Securities other than that Series), which default
continues uncured, or without provision deemed to be adequate for the remedying thereof
having been made, for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or
certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series a
written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating
that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

     (d) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

     (i) commences a voluntary case,

     (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary
case,

     (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or

     (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its
property, or

     (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company,

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 consecutive days; or

     (f) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that Series,
which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’
Certificate, in accordance with Section 2.2.19.

          The term “Bankruptcy Law” means title 11, U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law for
the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or
similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

     Section 6.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs
and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(d) or (e)) then in
every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of
that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in
the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities
of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an
Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified
amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder.

          At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been made
and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article provided, (a) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to
Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of
Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13 or (b) the Event of Default giving rise to such
declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and such
declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and
annulled, if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent a sum in the
currency in which such Securities are denominated sufficient to pay (A) all amounts owing the
Trustee and any predecessor trustee hereunder under Section 7.7; (B) all arrears of interest, if
any, upon all the Securities of such Series; and (C) the principal of and premium, if any, on any
Securities of such Series that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration
and interest thereon; and (ii) every other Default and Event of Default

20

 

with respect to Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal of
Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.

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

     Section 6.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

          The Company covenants that if

     (a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest
becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

     (b) default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity
thereof, or

     (c) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when and as due by the
terms of a Security,

then, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of
such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and
interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on
any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

          If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of
the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

          If an Event of Default with respect to any Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders of Securities of such Series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein,
or to enforce any other proper remedy.

     Section 6.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

          In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such

21

 

other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the
Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of
overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise,

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

     (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same,

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.7.

          Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize 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 6.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

          All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof
in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

     Section 6.6. Application of Money Collected.

          Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on
account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of
the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

          First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7; and

22

 

          Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the
Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably,
without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such
Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

          Third: To the Company.

     Section 6.7. Limitation on Suits.

          No Holder of any Security of any Series shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

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

     (b) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of that Series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

     (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities 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) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

     Section 6.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.

          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and
interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

23

 

     Section 6.9. 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 Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.

     Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

          Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, 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,
to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

     Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

          No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right
or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

     Section 6.12. Control by Holders.

          The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series
shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with
respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that

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

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

     (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee
in personal liability.

     Section 6.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

24

 

          The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series waive any past Default
hereunder with respect to such Series and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an
acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such
acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs.

          All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company,
to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders,
holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any
Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal
of or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in
such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date).

ARTICLE VII.

TRUSTEE

     Section 7.1. Duties of Trustee.

     (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs.

     (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

     (i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set
forth in this Indenture and no others.

     (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however,
in the case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any
provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the

25

 

Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

     (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

     (i) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this
Section.

     (ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

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

     (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject
to paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

     (e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it
receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

     (f) 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.

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

     (h) The Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled to
the protections, immunities and standard of care as are set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and
(c) of this Section with respect to the Trustee.

     Section 7.2. Rights of Trustee.

     (a) The Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

26

 

     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel.

     (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct
or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. No Depositary shall be deemed an agent
of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission by any
Depositary.

     (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that the
Trustee’s conduct does not constitute negligence or bad faith.

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

     (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of
Securities unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction.

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

     (h) 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 generally
or the Securities of a particular Series and this Indenture.

     Section 7.3. 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 an Affiliate of the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The
Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

     Section 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer.

          The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the
Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds

27

 

from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities other
than its authentication.

     Section 7.5. Notice of Defaults.

          If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of
any Series and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to
each Securityholder of the Securities of that Series notice of a Default or Event of Default within
90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge of
such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment
of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if
and so long as its corporate trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders of that Series.

     Section 7.6. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

          Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit to all Securityholders,
as their names and addresses appear on the register kept by the Registrar, a brief report dated as
of such May 15, in accordance with, and to the extent required under, TIA § 313.

          A copy of each report at the time of its transmission to Securityholders of any Series shall
be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are listed.
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any Series are listed on any stock
exchange.

     Section 7.7. Compensation and Indemnity.

          The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as the
Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company
shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by it.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and
counsel.

          The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including the
cost of defending itself) against any loss, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes
based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set
forth in the next paragraph in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or
Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity;
provided, however, that the failure by the Trustee to deliver such notice shall not relieve the
Company of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by
such failure or such failure results in the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses. The
Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may
have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees,
shareholders and agents of the Trustee.

28

 

          The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred
by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee through
negligence or bad faith.

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

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.1(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

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

     Section 7.8. Replacement of Trustee.

          A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

          The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying
the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to
that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with
respect to Securities of one or more Series if:

     (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

     (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is
entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

     (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

     (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the
successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed
by the Company.

          If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series does not take
office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the
Company or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of the
applicable Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

29

 

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section
7.7, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of
Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail
a notice of its succession to each Securityholder of each such Series. Notwithstanding replacement
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities
incurred by it prior to such replacement.

     Section 7.9. 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, the successor corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee.

     Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

          This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1),
(2) and (5). The Trustee shall always have a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply
with TIA § 310(b).

     Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

          The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §
311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent
indicated.

applicable;

and the Company, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust an amount sufficient for the purpose of paying
and discharging the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, for principal and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities
which have become due and payable on or prior to the date of such deposit) or to the Stated
Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be;

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

     (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the

pursuant to Section 8.1, all money and U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government
Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4 and all money received
by the Trustee in respect of U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4, shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as
its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the
principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by
the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments as contemplated
by Sections 8.3 or 8.4.

     (b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations or

31

 

Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Sections 8.3 or 8.4 or the
interest and principal received in respect of such obligations other than any payable by or

     (c) The Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company
Order any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or money held by it
as provided in Sections 8.3 or 8.4 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount thereof which then would have
been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such U.S. Government Obligations or
Foreign Government Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall
not authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign
Government Obligations held under this Indenture.

     Section 8.3. Legal Defeasance of Securities of any Series.

          Unless this Section 8.3 is otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.2.21, to be inapplicable
to Securities of any Series, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness on all the outstanding Securities of any Series on the date of the deposit referred to

Securities of such Series, shall no longer be in effect (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall, upon Company Order, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except as
to:

denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations, or (ii) in the
case of Securities of such Series denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than a composite
currency), money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which through the payment of

32

 

liability will be imposed on such Trustee), not later than one day before the due date
of any payment of money, an amount in cash, 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 each installment of principal of and
interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of all the
Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of interest or principal and such
sinking fund payments are due;

     (e) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default

     (g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of
this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either
case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the
Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge 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;

     (h) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of
the Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of
defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and

     (i) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an

     Section 8.4. Covenant Defeasance.

          Unless this Section 8.4 is otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.2.21 to be inapplicable
to Securities of any Series, the Company may omit to comply with respect to the Securities of any
Series with any term, provision or condition set forth under Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, and 5.1
as well as any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of
Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to

33

 

Section 2.2.21 (and the failure to comply with any such covenants shall not constitute a
Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under Section 6.1) and the occurrence of
any event specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution
or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2.19 and designated as an Event of
Default shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, with respect to the
Securities of such Series, provided that the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

     (a) with reference to this Section 8.4, the Company has deposited or caused to be
irrevocably deposited (except as provided in Section 8.2(c)) with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust for the purpose of making the following payments specifically pledged as security

of Securities of such Series denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government
Obligations, or (ii) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated in a Foreign
Currency (other than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign Government Obligations,
which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with
their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment and assuming no tax liability will be
imposed on such Trustee), not later than one day before the due date of any payment of
money, an amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal of and
interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Securities of
such Series on the dates such installments of interest or principal and such sinking fund
payments are due;

     (b) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture, the agreements

federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times
as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred;

     (e) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the
Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of
defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and

34

 

     (f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating
to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied with.

     Section 8.5. Repayment to Company.

          The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them
for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years. After that,
Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors
unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person.

     Section 8.6. Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect to
Securities of any Series in accordance with Section 8.1 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 obligations of the Company under this Indenture with
respect to the Securities of such Series and under the Securities of such Series shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until such time as the
Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.1;
provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of or
interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to 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 money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX.

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

     Section 9.1. Without Consent of Holders.

          The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or
more Series without the consent of any Securityholder:

     (a) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or
in any indenture supplemental hereto which may be defective or inconsistent with any other
provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture or to conform the terms hereof,
as amended and supplemented, that are applicable to the Securities of any Series to the
description of the terms of such Securities in the offering memorandum, prospectus
supplement or other offering document applicable to such Securities at the time of initial
sale thereof;

     (b) to comply with Article V or to evidence the succession of another entity to the

and obligations of the Company contained in the Securities of one or more Series and in this
Indenture or any supplemental indenture;

35

 

     (c) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated
Securities;

     (d) to make any change that would provide additional rights or benefits to the
Securityholders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any Securityholder;

     (e) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture; provided that any
such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no outstanding Security
of any Series created prior to the execution of a supplemental indenture that is entitled to
the benefit of such provision and as to which such supplemental indenture would apply;

     (f) to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of
Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture;

     (g) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to 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;

     (h) to add guarantors or co-obligors with respect to any Series of Securities or to

Series, as herein set forth, or other conditions, limitations or restrictions thereafter to
be observed; or

     (j) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

     Section 9.2. With Consent of Holders.

          The Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written consent
of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each
Series affected by such supplemental indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Securityholders of
each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such
Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities
with respect to such Series.

36

 

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or
waiver under this section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities
affected thereby, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by
the Company to mail or publish 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 9.3. Limitations.

          Without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:

     (a) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an
amendment, supplement or waiver;

     (b) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default
interest) on any Security;

     (c) reduce the principal or extend the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the
amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous
obligation;

     (d) reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the
maturity thereof;

     (e) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest,
if any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities of any Series
by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
such Series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

     (f) make the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency
other than that stated in the Security;

     (g) make any change in Sections 6.8, 6.13 or 9.3 (this sentence); or

     (h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, provided that such
redemption is made at the Company’s option.

     Section 9.4. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

          Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth
in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

     Section 9.5. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

37

 

          Until an amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a
consent to it by a Holder of a Security 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 consenting
Holder’s Security, 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 his Security or portion of a Security if
the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the
date the waiver becomes effective.

          Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each Series affected
by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of
Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has
consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences
the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

     Section 9.6. Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

          The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of
any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities of that Series that reflect
the amendment or waiver.

     Section 9.7. Trustee Protected.

          In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures,
except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

          Unless otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an
Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with respect to a
particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by
the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or
all Series affected by a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are
outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency other than Dollars
(including ECUs), then the principal amount of Securities of such Series which shall be deemed to
be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be
obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes of this Section
10.15, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City for cable
transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; provided,
however, in the case of ECUs, Market Exchange Rate shall mean the rate of exchange
determined by the Commission of the European Union (or any successor thereto) as published in the
Official Journal of the European Union (such publication or any successor publication, the
“Journal”). If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with

41

 

respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability
on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of ECUs, the
rate of exchange as published in the Journal, as of the most recent available date, or quotations
or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange from one or more major banks in The City of New York or
in the country of issue of the currency in question or, in the case of ECUs, in Luxembourg or such
other quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange as the Trustee, upon consultation with
the Company, shall deem appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining
the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other
than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture.

          All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any
alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in its sole discretion
and shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the extent permitted by law, be conclusive for all
purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders.

     Section 10.16. Judgment Currency.

          The Company 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 necessary to convert the sum
due in respect of the principal of or interest or other amount 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 New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required
Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which 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, 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. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a
Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York on which banking institutions are
authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

ARTICLE XI.

SINKING FUNDS

     Section 11.1. Applicability of Article.

          The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted or required by any form of Security of
such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture.

          The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of
any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount
provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount
of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each sinking
fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the
terms of the Securities of such Series.

     Section 11.2. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

          The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect
to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver
outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than
any of such Securities previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as
credit Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have
been repurchased by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the
terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the
application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to
the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited.
Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate with
respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process
of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at
the price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the
amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery
or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2, the principal
amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment
shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption,
except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be
held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment,
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time
upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held
by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of
that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment
required to be released to the Company.

     Section 11.3. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

          Not less than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental
indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate in respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to
each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund
payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion

43

 

thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that Series pursuant to
Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory
sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein
specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities) before each
such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such
sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2 and cause notice of the redemption
thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.
