opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or
covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only
one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters

10

 

and

insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by,

originally received in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual
execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have
been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or
instrument for which it is substituted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless
be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and
ratably with all other Outstanding Securities.

     SECTION 1.4. Acts of Holders.

     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given to or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by

action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments (including any appointment of an
agent) is or are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company or the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any
such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company or the Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this Section
1.4.

     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any

11

 

notary public
or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a Person acting in other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the
execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing
the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient and in
accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.

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

     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of
every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company or the
Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

     (e) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard
to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such
Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

     (f) Except as set forth in paragraph (g) of this Section 1.4, the Company may set any
day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled
to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of
Securities. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant
action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as
defined below) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such
record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a
new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any
Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed
action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to
each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

     (g) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of
Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii)
any declaration of acceleration or rescission or annulment thereof referred to in Section
5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(b) or (iv)
any direction referred to in Section 5.12. If any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall
be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders

12

 

after such record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder
unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has
previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause
notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration
Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set
forth in Section 1.6.

     (h) With respect to any record date set pursuant to paragraph (f) or (g) of this Section
1.4, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date”
and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided, that no
such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not
designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the party
hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the ninetieth
(90th) day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject
to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the one hundred and eightieth (180th)
day after the applicable record date.

     SECTION 1.5. Notices, Etc.

writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,

     SECTION 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first
class, postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event to the address of such Holder as it
appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the
earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. If, by reason of the suspension of or
irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be impossible or
impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. In any case
where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect
in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may
be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the
event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall
be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

     SECTION 1.7. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

hereunder, the Company shall not assign its obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 1.9. Separability Clause.

     If any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in

14

 

any way be affected or impaired thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at
issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue.

     SECTION 1.10. Benefits of Indenture.

a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities)
payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal or other amounts in respect of such Security
shall not be made on such date, but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and no

such next succeeding Business Day) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding

     CapitalSource Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (hereinafter called the
“Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to                     , or registered assigns, the principal
sum of $                     Dollars [if the Security is a Global Security, then insert— or such other
principal amount represented hereby as may be set forth in the records of the Securities Registrar
hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture] on December 15, 2035. The Company
further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from [                    , 200___], or from the most
recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly
(subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on March 15th, June
15th, September 15th and December 15th of each year, commencing on
[                    , 200___], or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day
(and no interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period
from and after such Interest Payment Date until such next succeeding Business Day), except that, if
such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on the
Interest Payment Date, at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.95%,
together with Additional Tax Sums, if any, as provided in Section 10.5 of the Indenture,
until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment; provided,
that any overdue principal, premium, if any, or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue installment of
interest shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable) at

16

 

a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.95%,
compounded quarterly, from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for
payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand.

     The amount of interest payable shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. The amount of interest payable for any full
interest period shall be computed by dividing the applicable rate per annum by four. The interest
so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as
provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest installment. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to
the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be
fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than ten (10)
days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on
which this Security may be listed, traded or quoted and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange or automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

     So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the
right, at any time and from time to time during the term of this Security, to defer the payment of
interest on this Security for a period of up to four (4) consecutive quarterly interest payment
periods (each such period, an “Extension Period”), during which Extension Period(s), no interest
shall be due and payable (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable). No
Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date, and no Extension Period
shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. No interest shall be
due and payable during an Extension Period (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and
payable), except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have
been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent
payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a variable rate per annum, reset
quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.95%, compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would
have otherwise been due and payable until paid or made available for payment. At the end of any
such Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on this Security,
together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the
Company may further defer the payment of interest; provided, that (i) all such previous and further
extensions comprising such Extension Period do not exceed four (4) quarterly interest payment
periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii)
no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security.
Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid
interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect
to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i) such Extension Period does not exceed four (4)
quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an
Interest Payment Date, (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the
principal of this Security and (iv) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The
Company shall give (i) the Holder of this Security, (ii) the

17

 

Trustee, (iii) the Property Trustee
and (iv) any beneficial owner of the Preferred Securities reasonably identified to the Company
(which identification may be made either by such beneficial owner or by the Placement Agent or the
Purchaser) written notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period no later than the
close of business on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day prior to the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date on which interest on this Security would be payable but for such deferral.

     During any such Extension Period, the Company shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any
of the Company’s equity or membership interests or (ii) make any payment of principal of or any
interest or premium on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank
pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to this Security (other than (a) repurchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of equity or membership
interests of the Company in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other
similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or
consultants, (2) a dividend reinvestment or equity or membership interests purchase plan or (3) the
issuance of equity or membership interests of the Company (or securities convertible into or
exercisable for such equity or membership interests) as consideration in an acquisition transaction
entered into prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of an exchange or conversion
of any class or series of the Company’s equity or membership interests (or any capital stock,
equity or membership interests of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the
Company’s equity or membership interests or of any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness
for any class or series of the Company’s equity or membership interests, (c) the purchase of
fractional interests in shares of the Company’s equity or membership interests pursuant to the
conversion or exchange provisions of such equity or membership interest or the security being
converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the
issuance of rights, equity, membership interests or other property under any Rights Plan, or the
redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto or (e) any dividend in the form of equity,
membership interests, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend interest or the interest
issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same interest as that on
which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such interest).

     Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security shall be made 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. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at
the Maturity of this Security shall be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in the Place of Payment upon surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent, and
payments of interest shall be made, subject to such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at
such place and to such account at a banking institution in the United States as may be designated
in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the
Person entitled thereto unless proper written wire transfer instructions have not been received by
the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address
of such Person as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the Holder of this Security is the Property Trustee, the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and

18

 

interest (including any overdue installment of interest and
Additional Tax Sums, if any) on this Security will be made at such place and to such account as may
be designated by the Property Trustee.

Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as may
be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the
Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or

contained herein and
in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred,
and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

“Guarantor,” which term includes any successor permitted under the Indenture) as specified in the
Indenture (the “Guarantee”). The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee are, to the
extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Debt of the Guarantor. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same,
(a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on such
Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate
the subordination of the Guarantee so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee such holder’s
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder of this Security, by such Holder’s
acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions
relating to the Guarantee contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt of
the Guarantor, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such

“Securities”) issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of November 21, 2005 (the
“Indenture”), among the Company, Guarantor and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (in such
capacity, the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Guarantor, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, and of the
terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

19

 

     All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture or in the Amended and
Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2005 (as modified, amended or supplemented from
time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), relating to CapitalSource Trust Preferred Securities 2005-1
(the “Trust”), among the Company, as Depositor, the trustees named therein and the holders from
time to time of the Trust Securities issued pursuant thereto, shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

     The Company may, on any Interest Payment Date, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30)

shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Property Trustee) on or after December 15, 2010
and subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture, redeem this
Security in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such
redemption,
with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, to but excluding the date fixed for
redemption.

     In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the Company
may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ written
notice to the Holders of the Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee), redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, subject to the terms and conditions
of Article XI of the Indenture at the Special Event Redemption Price.

     In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the
unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a
portion of the principal amount of any Security.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company, the Guarantor
and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of
modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company, the Guarantor and of the Holders
of the Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.

shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and any premium, if any, and interest, including any Additional Interest (to the

20

currency, herein prescribed.

transfer of this Security is registrable in the Securities Register, upon surrender of this
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory
to the Company and the Securities Registrar and duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such
Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations
of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities and of like tenor of a different
authorized 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.

     The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.

     (a) The unpaid principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest at a variable rate per
annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.95% until paid or duly provided for, such interest to
accrue from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest
has been paid or duly provided for, and any overdue principal, premium, if any, or Additional Tax
Sums and any overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment
of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal
to LIBOR plus 1.95% from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or funds for the
payment thereof are made available for payment.

     (b) Interest and Additional Interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest, except that interest and any Additional Interest payable on
the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early maturity) of the principal of a
Security or on a Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial
payment of interest on any Security that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related
Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security.

25

 

     (c) Any interest on any Security that is due and payable, but is not timely paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities (herein called “Defaulted Interest”)
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by
virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its
election in each case, as provided in paragraph (i) or (ii) below:

     (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at
the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a
“Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. At least thirty (30)
days prior to the date of the proposed payment, the Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the
date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
shall be not more than fifteen (15) days
and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less
than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name
and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class, postage
prepaid, to each Holder of a Security at the address of such Holder as it appears in the
Securities Register not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice
of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names
the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special
Record Date; or

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

     (d) Payments of interest on the Securities shall include interest accrued to but excluding the
respective Interest Payment Dates. Interest payments for the Securities shall be computed and paid
on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest
period. The amount of interest payable for any full interest period shall be computed by dividing
the applicable rate per annum by four.

26

 

     (e) Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be made 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. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at
the Maturity of such Securities shall be made at the Place of Payment upon surrender of such
Securities to the Paying Agent and payments of interest shall be made subject to such surrender
where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in
the United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer
instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall
be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear in the Security
Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of the Security is the Property
Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and premium if any) and interest (including any overdue
installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on the Security will be made at such place
and to such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee.

     (f) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, each Security delivered
under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall
carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other
Security.

     SECTION 3.2. Denominations.

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

     SECTION 3.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     (a) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities in an aggregate principal amount (including all then Outstanding
Securities) not in excess of $103,093,000 executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver
such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
shall be fully protected in relying upon:

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

     (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) such Securities, when authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Company, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; (2) the Securities have been
duly authorized and executed by the Company and have been delivered to the Trustee for

27

 

authentication in accordance with this Indenture; and (3) the Securities are not required to
be registered under the Securities Act.

     (b) The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board,
its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice
Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

     (c) No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of
one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and
delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such
Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.8, for all purposes of
this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

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

     SECTION 3.4. Global Securities.

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

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged
in whole or in part for registered Securities, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in
part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global
Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the Trustee and the Company in
writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Global Security, and no qualified successor is
appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Company of such notice, (ii)
such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and no successor
is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after obtaining knowledge of such event, (iii)
the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that the Company elects to
terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iv) an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in

28

 

clause (i), (ii), (iii)
or (iv) above, the Trustee shall notify the Depositary and instruct the Depositary to notify all
owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security of the occurrence of such event and of the
availability of Securities to such owners of beneficial interests requesting the same. Upon the
issuance of such Securities and the registration in the Securities Register of such Securities in
the names of the Holders of the beneficial interests therein, the Trustees shall recognize such
holders of beneficial interests as Holders.

     (c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if
another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global
Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation
as provided in this Article III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or
increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the
principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as
the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities
Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depositary Procedures, shall
instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its
records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security by the Depositary, accompanied
by registration instructions, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) in
accordance with the instructions of the Depositary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in
relying on, such instructions.

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

     (e) Securities distributed to holders of Book-Entry Preferred Securities (as defined in the
Trust Agreement) upon the dissolution of the Trust shall be distributed in the form of one or more
Global Securities registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the
Securities Registrar, as custodian for such Depositary, or with such Depositary, for credit by the
Depositary to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities represented
thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct). Securities distributed to holders of
Preferred Securities other than Book-Entry Preferred Securities upon the dissolution of the Trust
shall not be issued in the form of a Global Security or any other form intended to facilitate
book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such Securities.

     (f) The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the
Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners
of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable
Depositary Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security shall
be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records
maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Depositary Participants. The Securities
Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this
Indenture relating to a Global Security (including the payment of principal and interest

29

 

thereon
and the giving of instructions or directions by owners of beneficial interests therein and the
giving of notices) as the sole Holder of the Security and shall have no obligations to the owners
of beneficial interests therein. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any
liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary.

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

     (h) No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a
Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and
such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. None of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the
Guarantor or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee
or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a
Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing
the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.

     SECTION 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally.

     (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the
“Securities Register”) in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Securities
(the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall
provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The
Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VI
shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar.

     (b) Subject to compliance with Section 2.2(b), upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Security at the offices or agencies of the Company designated for that purpose the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount.

     (c) At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any
authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

30

 

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

     (e) Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by
the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

     (f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities.

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

     (h) The Company shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Securities
may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange. The Company initially designates the
Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Company
shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the
location of any such office or agency.

     SECTION 3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     (a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the
Company shall execute and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

     (b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each 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 written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

31

 

     (c) If 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.

     (d) Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, 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.

     (e) Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, 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 duly issued hereunder.

     (f) The provisions of this Section 3.6 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 3.7. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the
Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any interest on such Security and
for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 3.8. Cancellation.

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered
to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and
Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by
it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section
3.8, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities shall be disposed
of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the Trustee shall deliver to the
Company a certificate of such disposition.

     SECTION 3.9. Deferrals of Interest Payment Dates.

     (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the
right, at any time and from time to time during the term of the Securities, to defer the payment of
interest on the Securities for a period of up to four (4) consecutive quarterly interest

32

 

payment
periods (each such period, an “Extension Period”), during which Extension Period(s), no interest
shall be due and payable (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable). No
Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date, and no Extension Period
shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. No interest shall be
due and payable during an Extension Period (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and
payable), except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have
been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent
payment of such interest would be legally enforceable) at a variable rate per annum, reset
quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.95%, compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would
have otherwise been due and payable until paid or made available for payment. At the end of any
such Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on the
Securities, together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the termination of any such Extension
Period, the Company may further defer the payment of interest; provided, that (i) all such previous
and further extensions comprising such Extension Period do not exceed four (4) quarterly interest
payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date
and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the
Securities. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued
and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest Payment Date, the Company
may elect to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i) such Extension Period does not exceed
four (4) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other
than an Interest Payment Date, (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of
the principal of the Securities and (iv) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The
Company shall give (i) the Holder of the Securities, (ii) the Trustee, (iii) the Property Trustee
and (iv) any beneficial owner of the Preferred Securities reasonably identified to the Company
(which identification may be made either by such beneficial owner or by the Placement Agent or the
Purchaser) written notice of its election to begin any such Extension Period no later than the
close of business on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day prior to the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date on which interest on the Securities would be payable but for such deferral.

     (b) In connection with any such Extension Period, the Company shall be subject to the
restrictions set forth in Section 10.6(a).

     SECTION 3.10. RESERVED.

     SECTION 3.11. Agreed Tax Treatment.

     Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its acceptance or
acquisition of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that
acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest in, such Security, intend and agree to treat such
Security as indebtedness of the Company for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes and
to treat the Preferred Securities (including but not limited to all payments and proceeds with
respect to the Preferred Securities) as an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the
Securities (and payments and proceeds therefrom, respectively) for United States Federal, state and
local tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this
intention and agreement of the parties.

33

 

     SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers.

     The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and,
if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption and other similar or related
materials as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice or other materials 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 redemption or other materials and that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption
shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge

nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness

pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment in accordance with

its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the
principal and any premium, if any, and interest (including any Additional Interest) for the payment
of which such money or obligations have been deposited with or received by the Trustee. Moneys
held by the
Trustee under this Section 4.2 shall not be subject to the claims of holders of Senior
Debt under Article XII.

or waived as provided in Section 5.13;

provided, that if the Holders of such Securities fail to annul such declaration and waive such
default, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities then outstanding shall also have the right to rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section
5.2. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

     SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

     (a) Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants that if:

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

     (ii) default is made in the payment of the principal of and any premium on any Security
at the Maturity thereof,

the Company and the Guarantor will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for
principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) and, in addition
thereto, all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 6.6.

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

     (c) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities 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 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 5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or similar judicial proceeding relative to the Company or the Guarantor (or
any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee

38

 

shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all
actions authorized hereunder in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any
such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized 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 first 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 owing the
Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6.

     SECTION 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claim 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, subject
to Article XII and after provision for the payment of all the amounts owing the Trustee,
any predecessor Trustee and other Persons under Section 6.6, be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

     SECTION 5.6. Application of Money Collected.

     Any money or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with respect to the Securities
pursuant to this Article V 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 or property on account of
principal or any premium or interest (including any Additional 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, any predecessor Trustee and other
Persons under Section 6.6;

     SECOND: To the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company if and to the extent required by
Article XII or by Article XIV.

     THIRD: Subject to Article XII and Article XIV, to the payment of the amounts
then due and unpaid upon the Securities for principal and any premium and interest (including any
Additional Interest) 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
the Securities for principal and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest),
respectively; and

     FOURTH: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.

39

 

     SECTION 5.7. Limitation on Suits.

     Subject to Section 5.8, no Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) 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;

     (b) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities 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 after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to
institute any such proceeding for sixty (60) days; and

     (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
such sixty (60)-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities;

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 itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities, 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 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest; Direct
Action by Holders of Preferred Securities.

     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 any
premium on such Security at its Maturity and payment of interest (including any Additional
Interest) on such Security when due and payable and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Any
registered holder of the Preferred Securities shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default described in Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) to institute a suit
directly against the Company or the Guarantor for enforcement of payment to such holder of
principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities
having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities
held by such holder.

40

 

     SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

     If the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Preferred Securities 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, such Holder or such
holder of Preferred Securities, then and in every such case the Company, the Guarantor, the
Trustee, such Holders and such holder of Preferred Securities shall, subject to any determination
in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, such Holder and such holder of Preferred
Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

     SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6(f), no right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Securities or any holder of any
Preferred Security 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 V or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders and the right and remedy given to the holders of Preferred Securities by Section
5.8 may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee, the Holders or the holders of Preferred Securities, as the case may be.

     SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders.

     The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities (or, as the case may be, the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of
the Preferred Securities) 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; 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 that is not
inconsistent with such direction, and

     (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee shall, in good
faith, reasonably determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the
Holders not joining in any such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

41

 

     SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

     (a) The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities and the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities may waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except an
Event of Default:

     (i) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on any Security (unless such Event of Default has been cured and the
Company or the Guarantor has paid to or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
all installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) due and past due and all
principal of and any premium on all Securities due otherwise than by acceleration), or

     (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article IX cannot
be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of any Outstanding Security.

     (b) Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities or,
in the case of a waiver by holders of Preferred Securities issued by such Trust, by all holders of
Preferred Securities.

     (c) Upon any such waiver, such Event of 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

     SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his or her acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of
an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, 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 5.14 shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or any premium on the Security after the Stated Maturity or any interest
(including any Additional Interest) on any Security after it is due and payable.

     SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

     Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take

42

 

the
benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each
of the Company and the Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede
the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE VI

The Trustee

     SECTION 6.1. Corporate Trustee Required.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities. The Trustee
shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any
state thereof, authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority and
having an office within the United States. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority,
then, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, it shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

     SECTION 6.2. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

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

     (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; provided, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform
on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

     (b) If an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or, if applicable, from the holders of a
majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities), exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its

43

 

exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
person’s own affairs.

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided,
every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2.
To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the
Holders, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder for the Trustee’s good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Indenture. The provisions of this Indenture, to the extent that they restrict
the duties and liabilities of the Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the
Company and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Trustee.

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

     (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment made in good faith by an
authorized officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

     (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or, if applicable,
from the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities),
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee under this Indenture; and

     (iii) the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it
hereunder and money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.

     SECTION 6.3. Notice of Defaults.

     Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any default actually known to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall give the Holders notice of such default unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any
premium or interest on any Securities, the Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding the
notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee
of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interest of holders of Securities; and provided further, that in
the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.1(c), no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof. For the
purpose of this Section 6.3, the term

44

 

“default” means any event which is, or after notice
or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

     SECTION 6.4. Certain Rights of Trustee.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2:

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

     (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Indenture the Trustee is required to decide
between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Indenture
the Trustee finds ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the
Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Indenture, then, except as to any
matter as to which the Holders are entitled to decide under the terms of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Company requesting the Company’s written instruction as to
the course of action to be taken and the Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, as the Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by
the Company; provided, that if the Trustee does not receive such instructions from the Company
within ten Business Days after it has delivered such notice or such reasonably shorter period of
time set forth in such notice the Trustee may, but shall be under no duty to, take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, as the Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of
the Holders, in which event the Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct;

     (c) any request or direction of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company
Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced
by a Board Resolution;

     (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Trustee, the
Company, the Guarantor or any of their Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) 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;

     (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders or any holder of Preferred
Securities pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders (or such holders of Preferred
Securities) shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities
that
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, including reasonable
advances as may be requested by the Trustee;

45

 

     (f) 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, indenture, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion
may make such inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company and the Guarantor, personally or by agent or attorney;

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

     (h) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable to
receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action with
respect to enforcing any remedy or right hereunder, the Trustees (i) may request instructions from
the Holders (which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Securities as would be entitled to direct the Trustee under this Indenture in
respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or
taking such action until such instructions are received and (iii) shall be protected in acting in
accordance with such instructions;

     (i) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be under
any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Indenture;

     (j) without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other proceeding referred to in clauses (d) or (e) of the definition of Event of Default, such
expenses (including legal fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for
such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy laws or
law relating to creditors rights generally;

     (k) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that
a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith
on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate addressing such matter, which, upon
receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Company or the Guarantor;

     (l) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless
either (i) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge or (ii) the Trustee
shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, the Guarantor or a Holder; and

46

 

     (m) in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent or
Securities Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this
Article VI shall also be afforded such Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, or Securities
Registrar.

     SECTION 6.5. May Hold Securities.

     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company and the Guarantor with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such other
agent.

     SECTION 6.6. Compensation; Reimbursement; Indemnity.

     (a) The Company agrees

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

     (ii) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision
of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and

     (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify the Trustee
(including in its individual capacity) and its Affiliates, and their officers, directors,
shareholders, agents, representatives and employees for, and to hold them harmless against,
any loss, damage, liability, tax (other than income, franchise or other taxes imposed on
amounts paid pursuant to (i) or (ii) hereof), penalty, expense or claim of any kind or
nature whatsoever incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the
performance of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, including the advancement of funds to cover
the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

     (b) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.6, the Company hereby grants
and pledges to the Trustee and the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money
or property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money or property held in trust to pay
principal and interest on particular Securities. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

47

 

     (c) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section 6.6 shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of
the Trustee.

     (d) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits,
even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the
form of action.

     (e) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its
obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to,
acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo,
government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like
which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture.

     SECTION 6.7. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee under Section 6.8.

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company.

     (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may be
removed at any time by the Company by a Board Resolution. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may be removed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the
Company and to the Guarantor.

     (d) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any reason, at a time when no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee, and such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.8. If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any reason, at a time when an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders, by Act of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee, and such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.8. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment within sixty (60) days after the
giving of a notice of resignation by the Trustee or the removal of the Trustee in the manner
required by Section 6.8, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at
least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, and any

48

 

resigning
Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (e) The Company shall give notice to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.6
of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.

     SECTION 6.8. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each successor Trustee so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,
upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder.

     (b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all

     SECTION 6.10. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the Guarantor, and neither the
Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 6.11. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

     (a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Securities,

original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or
pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery
of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall
be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, or of any
State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as
Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent
publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.11 the combined
capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in this Section 6.11.

     (b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating Agent
hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.11,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.

     (c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.11, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent eligible under the

50

 

provisions of this Section 6.11, which shall be acceptable to the Company, and shall give
notice of such appointment to all Holders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.

     (d) The Company or the Guarantor agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.11 in such amounts as the
Company and the Authenticating Agent shall agree from time to time.

     (e) If an appointment of an Authenticating Agent is made pursuant to this Section
6.11, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, an alternative certificate of authentication in
the following form:

This represents Securities designated therein and referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

pursuant to this Section 7.3(d) shall be solely for purposes of compliance with this
Section 7.3 and, if applicable, with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, but shall
not relieve the Company or the Guarantor of the requirement to deliver
the certificate referred to in Section 7.3(b). The Trustee’s receipt of such reports,
information and documents shall not constitute notice to it of the content thereof or any matter
determinable from the contents thereof, including the Company’s and/or the Guarantor’s compliance
with any of its covenants hereunder, as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely upon Officers ’
Certificates.

57

 

     SECTION 10.2. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.

     (a) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the
Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of and any premium or interest

of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or interest
(including Additional Interest) so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its
failure so to act.

     (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m.,

     (c) The Company will cause each Paying Agent for the Securities other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.2, that such Paying Agent will (i)

Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Securities) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities, upon the written

     (d) The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to

held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

     (e) Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company in
trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest (including any Additional
Interest) on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and any
premium or interest has become due and payable shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory
provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid on Company Request
to the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory
provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published

58

 

once, in a newspaper published
in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

     SECTION 10.3. Statement as to Compliance.

     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate
(substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) covering the preceding fiscal
year, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in
the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture
(without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder), and if the
Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge.

     SECTION 10.4. Calculation Agent.

     (a) The Company hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding,
there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest
Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Schedule A (the “Calculation Agent”). The
Company has initially appointed the Property Trustee as Calculation Agent for purposes of
determining LIBOR for each Interest Payment Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the
Company at any time. Except as described in the immediately preceding sentence, so long as the
Property Trustee holds any of the Securities, the Calculation Agent shall be the Property Trustee.
If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Company, the
Company will promptly appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading
bank which is engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market
and which does not control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Company or its
Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly
appointed.

     (b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as possible after 11:00
a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date (as defined in Schedule A), but in no
event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR
Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate (rounded to the nearest
cent, with half a cent being rounded upwards) for the related Interest Payment Date, and will
communicate such rate and amount to the Company, the Trustee, each Paying Agent and the Depositary.
The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Company the quotations upon which the foregoing
rates and amounts are based and, in any event, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Company
before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that either: (i) it has determined
or is in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts or (ii) it has not determined
and is not in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts, together with its reasons
therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the foregoing rates and amounts for any
Interest Payment Date will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and

59

 

binding upon all
parties. For the sole purpose of calculating the interest rate for the Securities, “Business Day”
shall be defined as any day on which dealings in deposits in Dollars are transacted in the London
interbank market.

     SECTION 10.5. Additional Tax Sums.

     So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if (a) the Trust is the Holder
of all of the Outstanding Securities and (b) a Tax Event described in clause (i) or (iii) in the
definition of Tax Event in Section 1.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall pay to the Trust (and its permitted successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement)
for so long as the Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered holder of the
Outstanding Securities, such amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount of Distributions
(including any Additional Interest Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement)) then due and payable
by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding
in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be reduced as a result of
any Additional Taxes arising from such Tax Event (additional such amounts payable by the
Company to the Trust, the “Additional Tax Sums”). Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities
there is a reference in any context to the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities,
such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payments of the Additional Tax Sums provided
for in this Section 10.5 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Tax Sums are, were
or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.5 and
express mention of the payment of Additional Tax Sums (if applicable) in any provisions hereof
shall not be construed as excluding Additional Tax Sums in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made; provided, that the deferral of the payment of interest pursuant to
Section 3.9 on the Securities shall not defer the payment of any Additional Tax Sums that
may be due and payable.

     SECTION 10.6. Additional Covenants.

     (a) The Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities that if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the Company shall have given notice of its

     (b) The Company also covenants with each Holder of Securities (i) to hold, directly or
indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of the Common Securities of the Trust, provided, that any
permitted successor of the Company hereunder may succeed to the Company’s ownership of

the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name
and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner
provided above shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the

all the Securities (or portions thereof) that are to be redeemed on that date.

Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become
due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the
Redemption Date. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment specified
in such notice, the Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the
Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any
Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date.

     (b) Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and
upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the
expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations, in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented and having the same
Original Issue Date, Stated Maturity and terms.

     (c) If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal of and any premium on such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

ARTICLE XII

Subordination of Securities

     SECTION 12.1. Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt of the Company.

     The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof,
likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth

64

 

in this
Article XII, the payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and
subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Company.

     SECTION 12.2. No Payment When Senior Debt of the Company in Default; Payment Over of Proceeds
Upon Dissolution, Etc.

     (a) In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of
any principal of or any premium or interest on any Senior Debt of the Company (following any grace
period, if applicable) when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date
fixed for prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of
such default to the Company by the holders of such Senior Debt of the Company or any trustee
therefor, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to
exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall
be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of or any premium or interest (including
any Additional Interest) on any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment,
retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities.

     (b) In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding described in clause (d) or
(e) of the definition of Event of Default (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as
a “Proceeding”), all Senior Debt of the Company (including any interest thereon accruing after the
commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or
distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of any of
the Securities on account thereof. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or
other property (other than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided
in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to
the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company at the time outstanding and to any securities issued
in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise
(but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities
shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company in accordance with
the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Debt of the Company (including
any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) shall have been paid in
full.

     (c) In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to
Senior Debt of the Company, the Holders of the Securities, together with the holders of any
obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid
from the remaining assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid
principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities and
such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or
otherwise, shall be made on account of any equity, membership interests or any obligations of the
Company ranking junior to the Securities and such other obligations. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash,
securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for
by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is

65

 

subordinate, at least to the
extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the
Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company at the time outstanding and to any
securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) shall
be received by the Trustee or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all
Senior Debt of the Company shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution or security
shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred
to, the holders of the Senior Debt of the Company at the time outstanding in accordance with the
priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Debt of
the Company remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Debt of the Company
(including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) in full. In the
event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment,
distribution or security, each holder of Senior Debt of the Company is hereby irrevocably
authorized to endorse or assign the same.

     (d) The Trustee and the Holders, at the expense of the Company, shall take such reasonable
action (including the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for any holders of Senior Debt of the
Company or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect hereto) as may, in the
opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Senior Debt of the Company at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the
effectiveness of the subordination effected by these provisions.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 12.2 shall not impair any rights, interests,
remedies or powers of any secured creditor of the Company in respect of any security interest the
creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture.

     (f) The securing of any obligations of the Company, otherwise ranking on a parity with the
Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent such obligations
from constituting, respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking
junior to the Securities.

     SECTION 12.3. Payment Permitted If No Default.

     Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the
Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time, except during the pendency of the conditions
described in paragraph (a) of Section 12.2 or of any Proceeding referred to in Section
12.2, from making payments at any time of principal of and any premium or interest (including
any Additional Interest) on the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys
deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of and any premium or
interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such payment by
the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge (in
accordance with Section 12.8) that such payment would have been prohibited by the
provisions of this Article XII, except as provided in Section 12.8.

66

 

     SECTION 12.4. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt of the Company.

     Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Debt of the
Company, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner
satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company, the Holders of the Securities shall be
subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt
of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII (equally and ratably with the
holders of all indebtedness of the Company that by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Debt
of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior
Debt of the Company and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or
distributions made to holders of such Senior Debt of the Company) to the rights of the holders of
such Senior Debt of the Company to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and
securities applicable to the Senior Debt of the Company until the principal of and any premium and
interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes
of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of the Company
of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be
entitled except for the provisions of this Article XII, and no payments made pursuant to
the provisions of this Article XII to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company by Holders
of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of
Senior Debt of the Company, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or
distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt of the Company.

     SECTION 12.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

     The provisions of this Article XII are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt of
the Company on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to
pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and any premium and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of
the Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of
Senior Debt of the Company or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security (or to the
extent expressly provided herein, the holder of any Preferred Security) from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, including filing
and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII
of the holders of Senior Debt of the Company to receive cash, property and securities otherwise
payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.

     SECTION 12.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

     Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee
on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XII and appoints the Trustee his or
her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

67

 

     SECTION 12.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

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

     (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.7,
the holders of Senior Debt of the Company may, at any time and from to time, without the consent of
or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to such
Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this
Article XII or the obligations hereunder of such Holders of the Securities to the holders
of Senior Debt of the Company, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or
terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt of the Company,
or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt of the Company or any instrument
evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt of the Company is outstanding, (ii)
sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise
securing Senior Debt of the Company, (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment
of Senior Debt of the Company and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the
Company and any other Person.

     SECTION 12.8. Notice to Trustee.

     (a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of
any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in
respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other
provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written
notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt of the Company or from any trustee,
agent or representative therefor; provided, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice
provided for in this Section 12.8 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which
by the terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, the payment of the
principal of and any premium on or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security),
then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power
and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were
received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within
two Business Days prior to such date.

     (b) The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Debt of the Company (or a trustee,
agent, representative or attorney-in-fact therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by
a holder of Senior Debt of the Company (or a trustee, agent, representative or attorney-in-fact
therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is

68

 

required
with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt of the Company to participate in
any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may request such
Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior
Debt of the Company held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate
in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under
this Article XII, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment
to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment.

     SECTION 12.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article
XII, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is
pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the
Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt of
the Company and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article XII.

     SECTION 12.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt of the Company.

     The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not owe or be deemed to
owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company and shall not be liable to any
such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities
or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of
Senior Debt of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise.

     SECTION 12.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt of the Company; Preservation of
Trustee’s Rights.

     The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article XII with respect to any Senior Debt of the Company that may at any time be held by
it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt of the Company, and nothing in this
Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. With respect to the
holders of Senior Debt of the Company, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such of its
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article XII, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Debt of the Company shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee. Nothing in this Article XII shall apply to claims of, or payments
to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.6.

69

 

     SECTION 12.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

     If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article XII shall
in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including
such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent
were named in this Article XII in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, that
Sections 12.8 and 12.11 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of
the Company if the Company or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

ARTICLE XIII

Guarantee

     The Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each holder of a
Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal
of and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Amounts) on such Security, when and as
the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon redemption or
otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security and this Indenture, as well as the due and
punctual performance of all other obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture. In
case of the failure of the Company to punctually pay its obligations on any Security, the Guarantor
hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made
punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

     SECTION 13.2. Guarantee Unconditional, etc.

     The Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder with
respect to its obligations under this Article. This Article creates a guarantee of payment and not
of collection on the part of the Guarantor. The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be
absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any
invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Security or this Indenture, any failure to
enforce the provisions of any Security or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification, consent or
indulgence granted with respect thereto by the holder of such Security or the Trustee, the recovery
of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstances
which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The
Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in
the event of merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding
first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any such Security or the indebtedness
evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be
discharged except by payment in full of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
(including Additional Amounts) on the Securities and the complete performance of all other
obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture. The Guarantor further agrees, to the
fullest extent that it lawfully may do so, that, as

70

 

between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, the maturity of the Securities shall or may, as the
case may be, be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for purposes of the Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or prohibition existing
under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law of any jurisdiction
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby.

     SECTION 13.3. Reinstatement.

     This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time a payment in respect of any Security, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored to the Company or the Guarantor upon the bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the
Company or otherwise.

     SECTION 13.4. Subrogation.

     The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the holder of any Security against the
Company in respect of any amounts paid to such holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions
of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to
enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation as a
result of payment under this Guarantee, if, after giving effect to any such payment, any amounts
are due and unpaid under this Guarantee. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation
of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to
pay such amount to the Holders.

ARTICLE XIV

Subordination of Guarantee

     SECTION 14.1. Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt of the Guarantor.

     The Guarantor covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof,
likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this
Article XIV, the payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and
subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Guarantor.

     SECTION 14.2. No Payment When Senior Debt of the Guarantor in Default; Payment Over of
Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.

     (a) In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Guarantor in the payment of
any principal of or any premium or interest on any Senior Debt of the Guarantor (following any
grace period, if applicable) when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a
date fixed for prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice
of such default to the Guarantor by the holders of such Senior Debt of the Guarantor or any trustee
therefor, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived

71

 

or shall have ceased to
exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall
be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of or any premium or interest (including
any Additional Interest) on any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment,
retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities.

     (b) In the event of a Proceeding, all Senior Debt of the Guarantor (including any interest
thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before
any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any
Holder of any of the Securities on account thereof. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash,
securities or other property (other than securities of the Guarantor or any other entity provided
for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to
the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by
the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt of the Guarantor at the time outstanding and to
any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment),
which would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect
of the Securities shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Debt of the
Guarantor in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Debt
of the Guarantor (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any
Proceeding) shall have been paid in full.

     (c) In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to
Senior Debt of the Guarantor, the Holders of the Securities, together with the holders of any
obligations of the Guarantor ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid
from the remaining assets of the Guarantor the amounts at the time due and owing on account of
unpaid principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the
Securities and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in
cash, property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations
of the Guarantor ranking junior to the Securities and such other obligations. If, notwithstanding
the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash,
securities or other property (other than securities of the Guarantor or any other entity provided
for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to
the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by
the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt of the Guarantor at the time outstanding and to
any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment)
shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and
before all Senior Debt of the Guarantor shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution
or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and
transferred to, the holders of the Senior Debt of the Guarantor at the time outstanding in
accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of
all Senior Debt of the Guarantor remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior
Debt of the Guarantor (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any
Proceeding) in full. In the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign
any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Debt of the Guarantor is hereby
irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.

72

 

     (d) The Trustee and the Holders, at the expense of the Guarantor, shall take such reasonable
action (including the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for any holders of Senior Debt of the
Guarantor or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect hereto) as may, in the
opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Debt
of the Guarantor at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness
of the subordination effected by these provisions.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 14.2 shall not impair any rights, interests,
remedies or powers of any secured creditor of the Guarantor in respect of any security interest the
creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture.

     (f) The securing of any obligations of the Guarantor, otherwise ranking on a parity with the
Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent such obligations
from constituting, respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking
junior to the Securities.

     SECTION 14.3. Payment Permitted If No Default.

     Nothing contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the
Securities shall prevent (a) the Guarantor, at any time, except during the pendency of the
conditions described in paragraph (a) of Section 14.2 or of any Proceeding referred to in
Section 14.2, from making payments at any time of principal of and any premium or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any
moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of and any
premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such
payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have
knowledge (in accordance with Section 14.8) that such payment would have been prohibited by
the provisions of this Article XIV, except as provided in Section 14.8.

     SECTION 14.4. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor.

     Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Debt of the
Guarantor, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner
satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor, the Holders of the Securities shall be
subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt
of the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIV (equally and ratably with
the holders of all indebtedness of the Guarantor that by its express terms is subordinated to
Senior Debt of the Guarantor to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to
the Senior Debt of the Guarantor and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any
payments or distributions made to holders of such Senior Debt of the Guarantor) to the rights of
the holders of such Senior Debt of the Guarantor to receive payments and distributions of cash,
property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt of the Guarantor until the principal of and
any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities shall be paid in
full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior
Debt of the Guarantor of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or
the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XIV, and no
payments

73

 

made pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIV to the holders of Senior Debt
of the Guarantor by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Guarantor, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor, and the Holders of the Securities, be
deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Guarantor to or on account of the Senior Debt of the
Guarantor.

     SECTION 14.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

     The provisions of this Article XIV are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt of
the Guarantor on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Guarantor and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional,
to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and any premium and interest (including
any Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, (b) affect the relative rights against the Guarantor of the Holders of
the Securities and creditors of the Guarantor other than their rights in relation to the holders of
Senior Debt of the Guarantor or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security (or to the
extent expressly provided herein, the holder of any Preferred Security) from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, including filing
and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XIV
of the holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor to receive cash, property and securities otherwise
payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.

     SECTION 14.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

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

     SECTION 14.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

     (a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt of the Guarantor to enforce
subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act
or failure to act on the part of the Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by
any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants
of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with.

     (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section 14.7,
the holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor may, at any time and from to time, without the consent
of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to
such Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in
this Article XIV or the obligations hereunder of such Holders of the Securities to the
holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor, do any one or more of the following:

74

 

(i) change the
manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt
of the Guarantor, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt of the Guarantor or
any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt of the Guarantor is
outstanding, (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing Senior Debt of the Guarantor, (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for
the payment of Senior Debt of the Guarantor and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against the Guarantor and any other Person.

     SECTION 14.8. Notice to Trustee.

     (a) The Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of
any fact known to the Guarantor that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee
in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XIV or any
other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence
of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written
notice thereof from the Guarantor or a holder of Senior Debt of the Guarantor or from any trustee,
agent or representative therefor; provided, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice
provided for in this Section 14.8 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which
by the terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, the payment of the
principal of and any premium on or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security),
then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power
and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were
received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within
two Business Days prior to such date.

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

     SECTION 14.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor referred to in this Article
XIV, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is
pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian,

75

 

assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the
Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt of
the Guarantor and other indebtedness of the Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article XIV.

     SECTION 14.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor.

     The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not owe or be deemed to
owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor and shall not be liable to
any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of
Securities or to the Guarantor or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any
holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XIV or
otherwise.

     SECTION 14.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt of the Guarantor; Preservation
of Trustee’s Rights.

     The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article XIV with respect to any Senior Debt of the Guarantor that may at any time be held
by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt of the Guarantor, and nothing in this
Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. With respect to the
holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such of its
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article XIV, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Debt of the Guarantor shall be read into
this Indenture against the Trustee. Nothing in this Article XIV shall apply to claims of, or
payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.6.

     SECTION 14.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

     If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Guarantor and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article XIV
shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and
including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such
Paying Agent were named in this Article XIV in addition to or in place of the Trustee;
provided, that Sections 14.8 and 14.11 shall not apply to the Guarantor or
any Affiliate of the Guarantor if the Guarantor or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

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

Schedule A

DETERMINATION OF LIBOR

     With respect to the Securities, the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions (in each case
rounded to the nearest .000001%):

(1) On the second LIBOR Business Day (as defined below) prior to an Interest Payment Date (except,
with respect to the first interest payment period, on November 17, 2005)(each such day, a “LIBOR
Determination Date”), LIBOR for any given security shall, for the following interest payment
period, equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent from Bloomberg Financial Markets
Commodities News, for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe, which appears on Dow Jones
Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991
Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions), or such other page as may replace such Page 3750,
as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date.

(2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750
or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, the Calculation Agent shall determine the
arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading
banks in the London interbank market for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe in an amount
determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately
11:00 a.m. (London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the
Reference Banks. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide
such quotations, LIBOR shall equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR
Determination Date, only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall be
deemed to be the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in the City of New
York selected by the Calculation Agent are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for
three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in Europe in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent by
reference to the principal London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market; provided
that, if the Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance with at
least one of the procedures provided above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous
LIBOR Determination Date.

(3) As used herein: “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market
selected by the Calculation Agent; and “LIBOR Business Day” means a day on which commercial banks
are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in
London.

     (a) Upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any
provision of this Indenture, the Company shall, if requested by the Trustee, furnish to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent (including covenants
compliance with which constitutes a condition precedent), if any, provided for in this Indenture
relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in
the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent (including covenants compliance with
which constitutes a condition precedent), if any, have been complied with.

     (b) Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Indenture (other than the certificate provided pursuant to Section
10.3) shall include:

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

     (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation

covenant has been complied with.

     SECTION 1.3. Forms of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

     (a) In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or
covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only
one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and
one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an
opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

-14-

 

     (b) Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it
relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless
such officer knows, or after reasonable inquiry should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to
factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of

respect to such matters are erroneous.

     (c) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

     (d) Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other
inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or
instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if
originally received in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual
execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have
been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or
instrument for which it is substituted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless
be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and
ratably with all other Outstanding Securities.

     SECTION 1.4. Acts of Holders.

     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given to or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an
agent thereof duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments (including any appointment of an
agent) is or are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are
herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

     (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public
or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a Person acting in other than his or her individual capacity,

-15-

 

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

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

     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of
every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

     (e) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard
to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such
Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

     (f) Except as set forth in paragraph (g) of this Section 1.4, the Company may set any
day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled
to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of
Securities. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant
action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as
defined in Section 1.4(h)) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the
Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been
set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and
with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record
date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee
in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

     (g) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of
Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii)
any declaration of acceleration or rescission or annulment thereof referred to in Section
5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(b) or (iv)
any direction referred to in Section 5.12. If any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall
be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder
unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to

-16-

 

prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has
previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause
notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be
given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6.

     (h) With respect to any record date set pursuant to paragraph (f) or (g) of this Section
1.4, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date”
and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided, that no
such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in
Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not
designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the party
hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the ninetieth
(90th) day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject
to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the one hundred eightieth (180th) day
after the applicable record date.

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

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Holders, or
other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or
filed with:

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

     (b) the Company by the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Preferred Securities shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to
the Company addressed to it c/o CapitalSource Inc. at 4445 Willard Avenue, 12th Floor, Chevy Chase,
Maryland 20815, Attention: Director of Treasury, with a copy to the Chief Legal Officer, or at any
other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

     SECTION 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first
class, postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event to the address of such Holder as it
appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than
the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. If, by reason of the
suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be
impossible or

-17-

 

impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said notice is required to be given
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. In any case
where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect
in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may
be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the
event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall
be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of
any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

     SECTION 1.7. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

     The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction of this Indenture.

     SECTION 1.8. Successors and Assigns.

     This Indenture shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor to the
Company and the Trustee, including any successor by operation of law. Except in connection with a
transaction involving the Company that is permitted under Article VIII and pursuant to
which the assignee agrees in writing to perform the Company’s obligations hereunder, the Company
shall not assign its obligations hereunder.

     SECTION 1.9. Separability Clause.

     If any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at
issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue.

     SECTION 1.10. Benefits of Indenture.

     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, the holders of Senior Debt, the
Holders of the Securities and, to the extent expressly provided in Sections 5.2,
5.8, 5.9, 5.11, 5.13, 9.2 and 10.7, the holders of
Preferred Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture.

     SECTION 1.11. Governing Law.

     This Indenture and the rights and obligations of each of the Holders, the Company and the
Trustee shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
New York without reference to its conflict of laws provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the
General Obligations Law).

-18-

 

     SECTION 1.12. Submission to Jurisdiction.

     ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO OR WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING
OUT OF THIS INDENTURE MAY BE BROUGHT IN OR REMOVED TO THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN AND
FOR THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK (IN EACH CASE SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN). BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
INDENTURE, EACH PARTY ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS (AND COURTS OF APPEALS THEREFROM) FOR
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE.

     SECTION 1.13. Non-Business Days.

     If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be
a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities)
payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal or other amounts in respect of such Security
shall not be made on such date, but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and no
interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and
after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, until
such next succeeding Business Day) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case
with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or at the
Stated Maturity.

     SECTION 1.14. No Personal Liability.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture,

member, partner, officer, director or trustee, as such, of the Company or any Guarantor or of any
successor thereof, either directly or through the Company or any Guarantor or any successor
thereof, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any

ARTICLE II

Security Forms

     SECTION 2.1. Form of Security.

     Any Security issued hereunder shall be in substantially the following form:

CapitalSource Finance LLC

Junior Subordinated Note due 2036

	 	 	 
	No. _________
	 	$128,866,000     

     CapitalSource Finance LLC, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws
of Delaware (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, or registered assigns, the principal sum of One Hundred Twenty
Eight Million Eight Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($128,866,000) [if the Security is a Global
Security, then insert— or such other principal amount represented hereby as may be set forth in the
records of the Securities Registrar hereinafter referred to in accordance with the Indenture] on
January 30, 2036. The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from December
14, 2005, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, quarterly (subject to deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on January 30, April
30, July 30 and October 30, of each year, commencing January 30, 2006, or if any such day is not a
Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (and no interest shall accrue in respect of the
amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date until
such next succeeding Business Day), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case,
with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, at a fixed rate fixed rate
equal to 6.823% ( the “Fixed Rate”) per annum through the interest payment date on January 30, 2011
(“Fixed Rate Period”) and thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.95% (the “Variable
Rate”) per annum,

-20-

 

together with Additional Tax Sums, if any, as provided in Section 10.5 of the
Indenture, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment;
provided, further, that any overdue principal, premium, if any, or Additional Tax Sums and any
overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent that the payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the Fixed Rate or the Variable Rate, as applicable,
per annum compounded quarterly, from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made
available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand.

     The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed during the Fixed
Rate Period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and thereafter on the basis of
a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall,
as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest installment. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to
the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed
by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than ten (10) days
prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on
which the Securities may be listed, traded, or quoted and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange or automated quotation system as more fully provided in the Indenture.

     So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the
right, at any time and from time to time during the term of this Security, to defer the payment of
interest on this Security for up to a maximum of four (4) consecutive quarterly interest payment
periods (such period, an “Extension Period”), during such Extension Period, no interest shall be
due and payable (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable). No Extension Period
shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date, and no Extension Period shall extend
beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. No interest shall be due and payable
during an Extension Period (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable), except at
the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable
during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest
would be legally enforceable) at the Fixed Rate or the Variable Rate, as applicable, per annum
compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable
until paid or made available for payment. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Company
shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on this Security, together with such Additional
Interest. Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further defer the
payment of interest; provided, that (i) all such previous and further extensions comprising such
Extension Period do not exceed four (4) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension
Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall
extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. Upon the termination of any
such Extension Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional
Interest then due on any Interest

-21-

 

Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i) such
Extension Period does not exceed four (4) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension
Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall
extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. The Company shall give the
Holder of this Security and the Trustee written notice of its election to begin any such Extension
Period at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on which
interest on this Security would be payable but for such deferral.

     During any Extension Period or during an Event of Default, the Company shall not (i) declare
or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation
payment with respect to, any shares of the Company’s equity or membership interests, (ii) vote in
favor of or permit or otherwise allow any of its subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to or
otherwise retire, any shares of such subsidiaries’ equity or membership interests, or (iii) make
any payment of principal of or any interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem
any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest
to this Security, in each case, other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of
shares of equity or membership interests of the Company in connection with (1) any employment
contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more
employees, officers, directors or consultants, (2) a dividend reinvestment or equity or membership
interests purchase plan or (3) the issuance of equity or membership interests of the Company (or
securities convertible into or exercisable for such equity or membership interests) as
consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Event of Default
or Extension Period, (b) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the
Company’s equity or membership interests (or any capital stock, equity or membership interests of a
Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company’s equity or membership interests
or of any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Company’s
equity or membership interests, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s
equity or membership interests pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such equity or
membership interests or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a
dividend in connection with any Rights Plan, the issuance of rights, equity, membership interests
or other property under any Rights Plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto
or (e) any dividend in the form of equity, membership interests, warrants, options or other rights
where the dividend interest or the interest issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or
other rights is the same interest as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu
with or junior to such interest.

     Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security shall be made 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. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at
the Maturity of this Security shall be made at the Place of Payment upon surrender of such
Securities to the Paying Agent, and payments of interest shall be made, subject to such surrender
where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in
the United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written wire

-22-

 

transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case such
payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear
in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Holder of this Security is
the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including
any overdue installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on this Security will be made
at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property Trustee.

     The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture,
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and
this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each
Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as may
be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the
Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or
her acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions
contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or
hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

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

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the
“Securities”) issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of December 14, 2005 (the
“Indenture”), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Trustee (in
such capacity, the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Trustee, the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities and the holders of the Preferred
Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered.

     All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture or in the Amended and
Restated Trust Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2005 (as modified, amended or supplemented from
time to time, the “Trust Agreement”), relating to the CapitalSource Trust Preferred Securities
2005-2 (the “Trust”) among the Company, as Depositor, the Trustees named therein and the Holders
from time to time of the Trust Securities issued pursuant thereto, shall have the meanings assigned
to them in the Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as the case may be.

     The Company may, on any Interest Payment Date, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30)
days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Holders of the Securities (unless a
shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Property Trustee) on or after January 30, 2011

-23-

 

and subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture, redeem this Security
in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with
accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, through but excluding the date fixed as the
Redemption Date.

     In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the Company

the Property Trustee), redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, subject to the terms and
conditions of Article XI of the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred
percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such redemption, with
accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, through but excluding the date fixed as the

unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a
portion of the principal amount of any Security.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company and the
Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of
modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company and of the Holders of the
Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of specified
percentages in principal amount of the Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and any premium, if any, and interest, including any Additional Interest (to the
extent legally enforceable), on this Security at the times, place and rate, 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 Security is restricted to transfers to “Qualified Purchasers” (as such term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), and is registrable in the Securities

of the Company maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar and duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Securities, of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations
of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities and of like tenor of a different authorized 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.

     The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

     The Company and, by its acceptance of this Security or a beneficial interest herein, the
Holder of, and any Person that acquires a beneficial interest in, this Security agree that, for
United States federal, state and local tax purposes, it is intended that this Security constitute
indebtedness.

the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions (other than Section
5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).

day of                     , 20___.

The Securities

     SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.

     (a) The unpaid principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest at fixed rate equal to
6.823% (the “Fixed Rate”) per annum through the interest payment date on January 30, 2011, and
thereafter at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.95% (the “Variable Rate”) per annum until paid or
duly provided for such interest to accrue from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and any overdue
principal, premium, if any, or Additional Tax Sums and any overdue installment of interest shall
bear Additional Interest at the rate equal to the Fixed Rate or the Variable Rate, as applicable,
per annum compounded quarterly, from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or funds
for the payment thereof are made available for payment.

     (b) Interest and Additional Interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest, except that interest and any Additional Interest payable on
the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early maturity) of the principal of a
Security or on a Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial
payment of interest on any Security that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related
Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security.

     (c) Any interest on any Security that is due and payable, but is not timely paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities (herein called “Defaulted Interest”)

-29-

 

shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record
Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company,
at its election in each case, as provided in paragraph (i) or (ii) below:

     (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at
the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a
“Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. At least thirty (30)
days prior to the date of the proposed payment, the Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the
date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date
of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice
of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to
be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security at the address of such
Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less than ten (10) days prior to such
Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to
the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered on such Special Record Date; or

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

     (d) Payments of interest on the Securities shall include interest accrued to but excluding the
respective Interest Payment Dates. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date
shall be computed during the Fixed Rate Period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months, and thereafter on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the
relevant interest period.

     (e) Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be made in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal

-30-

 

tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and
interest due at the Maturity of such Securities shall be made at the Place of Payment upon
surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent and payments of interest shall be made subject to
such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking
institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten
(10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper
written transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case
such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall
appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the holder of this
Security is the Property Trustee, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest (including any overdue installment of interest and Additional Tax Sums, if any) on this
Security will be made at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Property
Trustee.

     (f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the holders of the Preferred Securities have
certain rights to direct the Company to modify the Interest Payment Dates and corresponding
Redemption Date and Stated Maturity of the Securities or a portion of the Securities pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement. In the event any such modifications are made to the Securities or a
portion of the Securities, appropriate changes to the form of Security set forth in Article II
hereof shall be made prior to the issuance and authentication of new or replacement Securities.
Any such modification of the Interest Payment Date and corresponding Redemption Date and Stated
Maturity with respect to any Securities or tranche of Securities shall not require or be subject to
the consent of the Trustee.

     (g) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1 each Security delivered under this
Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the
rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.

     SECTION 3.2. Denominations.

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

     SECTION 3.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     (a) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities in an aggregate principal amount (including all then Outstanding
Securities) not in excess of One Hundred Twenty Eight Million Eight Hundred Sixty Six Thousand
Dollars ($128,866,000) executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such
Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:

-31-

 

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

     (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that: (1) such Securities, when authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute, and the Indenture
constitutes, valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, each enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; (2) the Securities have been
duly authorized and executed by the Company and have been delivered to the Trustee for
authentication in accordance with this Indenture; (3) the Securities are not required to be
registered under the Securities Act; and (4) the Indenture is not required to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act.

     (b) The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board,
its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice
Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

     (c) No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of
one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and
delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such
Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.8, for all purposes of
this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

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

     SECTION 3.4. Global Securities.

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

-32-

 

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

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

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

     (e) Securities distributed to holders of Book-Entry Preferred Securities (as defined in the
applicable Trust Agreement) upon the dissolution of the Trust shall be distributed in the form

-33-

 

of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and
deposited with the Securities Registrar, as custodian for such Depositary, or with such Depositary,
for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities
represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct). Securities distributed to holders
of Preferred Securities other than Book-Entry Preferred Securities upon the dissolution of the
Trust shall not be issued in the form of a Global Security or any other form intended to facilitate
book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such Securities.

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

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

     (h) No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a
Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and
such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests
of a Global Security or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a
Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing
the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.

     SECTION 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally.

     (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the
“Securities Register”) in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Securities
(the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall
provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The
Trustee shall at

-34-

 

all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VI shall apply
to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar.

     (b) Subject to compliance with Section 2.2(b), upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Security at the offices or agencies of the Company designated for that purpose the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations of
like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

     (c) At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any
authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities
that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

     (e) Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by
the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

     (f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities.

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

     (h) The Company shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Securities
may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange. The Company initially designates the
Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office
or agency.

     (i) The Securities may only be transferred to a “Qualified Purchaser” as such term is defined
in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act.

-35-

 

     (j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining
whether any transfer hereunder complies with the registration provisions of or any exemptions from
the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other
jurisdiction, ERISA, the Code, or the Investment Company Act; provided, that if a certificate is
specifically required by the express terms of this Section 3.5 to be delivered to the Trustee or
the Securities Registrar by a Holder or transferee of a Security, the Trustee and the Securities
Registrar shall be under a duty to receive and examine the same to determine whether or not the
certificate substantially conforms on its face to the requirements of this Indenture and shall
promptly notify the party delivering the same if such certificate does not comply with such terms.

     SECTION 3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     (a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Trustee or the Company to save the Company and the Trustee
harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

     (b) 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 it to save each of the Company and the Trustee 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 written request the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

     (c) If 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.

     (d) Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, 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.

     (e) Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, 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 duly issued hereunder.

-36-

 

     (f) The provisions of this Section 3.6 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 3.7. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in
whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal of and any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 3.8. Cancellation.

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered
to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and
Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly canceled by
it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever,
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section
3.8, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities shall be retained
or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practices and the Trustee shall
deliver to the Company a certificate of such disposition.

     SECTION 3.9. Deferral of Interest Payment Dates

     (a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the
right, at any time and from time to time during the term of this Security, to defer the payment of
interest on this Security for up to a maximum of four (4) consecutive quarterly interest payment
periods (such period, an “Extension Period”), during such Extension Period, no interest shall be
due and payable (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable). No Extension Period
shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date, and no Extension Period shall extend
beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of this Security. No interest shall be due and payable
during an Extension Period (except any Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable), except at
the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable
during such Extension Period shall bear Additional Interest (to the extent payment of such interest
would be legally enforceable) at the Fixed Rate or the Variable Rate, as applicable, per annum
compounded quarterly, from the dates on which amounts would have otherwise been due and payable
until paid or made available for payment. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Company
shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid on this Security, together with such Additional
Interest. At the end of any such Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest then accrued
and unpaid on the Securities together with such Additional Interest. Prior to the termination of
any such Extension Period, the Company may

-37-

 

extend such Extension Period and further defer the payment of interest; provided, that (i) all
such previous and further extensions comprising such Extension Period do not exceed four (4)
quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension Period shall end on a date other than an
Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the
principal of the Securities. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and upon the
payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional Interest then due on any Interest
Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period; provided, that (i) such
Extension Period does not exceed four (4) quarterly interest payment periods, (ii) no Extension
Period shall end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date and (iii) no Extension Period shall
extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities. The Company shall give the
Holders of the Securities and the Trustee written notice of its election to begin any such
Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date on
which interest on the Securities would be payable but for such deferral.

(b) In connection with any such Extension Period, the Company shall be subject to the
restrictions set forth in Section 10.6(a).

     SECTION 3.10. Reserved.

     SECTION 3.11. Agreed Tax Treatment.

     Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its acceptance or
acquisition of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that
acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest in, such Security, intend and agree to treat such
Security as indebtedness of the Company for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes and
to treat the Preferred Securities (including but not limited to all payments and proceeds with
respect to the Preferred Securities) as an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the
Securities (and any other Trust property) (and payments and proceeds therefrom, respectively) for
United States Federal, state and local tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be
interpreted to further this intention and agreement of the parties.

     SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers.

     The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and,
if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption and other similar or related
materials as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice or other materials 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 redemption or other materials and that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption
shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

Additional Interest) for the payment of which such money or obligations have been deposited with or
received by the Trustee. Moneys held by the Trustee under this Section 4.2 shall not be
subject to the claims of holders of Senior Debt under Article XII.

consequences by written notice to the Property Trustee, the Company and the Trustee, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 5.2. No such

moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.

may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of
Securities 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.

expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

     (d) the Trustee after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to

     (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
such sixty (60)-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities;

-44-

 

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 itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities, 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 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium, if any, and
Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Preferred Securities.

     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 any
premium on such Security at its Maturity and payment of interest (including any Additional
Interest) on such Security when due and payable and to institute suit for the enforcement of any

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, such Holder or such
holder of Preferred Securities, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee, such Holders
and such holder of Preferred Securities shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be

     SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.6(f), no right or remedy herein conferred
upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Securities or any holder of any
Preferred Security 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 V or by law to the
Trustee or to the Holders and the right and remedy given to the holders of Preferred Securities by
Section 5.8 may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
the Trustee, the Holders or the holders of Preferred Securities, as the case may be.

Preferred Securities) 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; 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 that is not
inconsistent with such direction, and

     (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee shall, in good
faith, reasonably determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the
Holders not joining in any such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

     SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

     (a) The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities or the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities may waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except an
Event of Default:

     (i) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on any Outstanding Security (unless such Event of Default has been
cured and the Company has paid to or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all
installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) due and past due and all
principal of and any premium on all Securities due otherwise than by acceleration), or

     (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article IX cannot
be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of any Outstanding Security.

     (b) Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding
Securities or, in the case of a waiver by holders of Preferred Securities issued by such Trust, by
all holders of Preferred Securities.

     (c) Upon any such waiver, such Event of Default shall cease to exist and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this

-46-

 

Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon.

     SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his or her acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee
for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of
an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, 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 5.14 shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or any premium on the Security after the Stated Maturity or any interest (including
any Additional Interest) on any Security after it is due and payable.

     SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

     The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted.

ARTICLE VI

The Trustee

     SECTION 6.1. Corporate Trustee Required.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities. The Trustee
shall be a corporation or a national banking association organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States or of any state thereof, authorized to exercise corporate trust powers,
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state authority and having an office within the United States. If such
entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of
such supervising or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, the
combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall
cease to

-47-

 

be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.

     SECTION 6.2. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

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

     (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; provided, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform
on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

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

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided,
every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2.
To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the
Holders, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder or any holder of Preferred Securities for
the Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Indenture. The provisions of this
Indenture, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Trustee otherwise
existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Company and the Holders and the holders of
Preferred Securities to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Trustee.

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

-48-

 

     (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment made in good faith by an
authorized officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

     (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities (or, as the case may
be, the holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities); and

     (iii) the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it
hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company and money held by the
Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.

     (e) If at any time the Trustee hereunder is not the same Person as the Property Trustee under
the Trust Agreement:

     (i) whenever a reference is made herein to the dissolution, termination or liquidation
of the Trust, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that no such dissolution, termination,
or liquidation has occurred so long as the Securities are or continue to be registered in
the name of such Property Trustee, and the Trustee shall be charged with notice or knowledge
of such dissolution, termination or liquidation only upon written notice thereof given to
the Trustee by the Depositor under the Trust Agreement; and

     (ii) the Trustee shall not be charged with notice or knowledge that any Person is a
holder of Preferred Securities or Common Securities issued by the Trust or whether any group
of holders of Preferred Securities constitutes any specified percentage of all outstanding
Preferred Securities for any purpose under this Indenture, unless and until the Trustee is
furnished with a list of holders by such Property Trustee and the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of the Preferred Securities then outstanding. The Trustee may conclusively rely and
shall be protected in relying on such list.

     (f) Notwithstanding Section 1.10, the Trustee shall not, and shall not be deemed to,
owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of any of the Trust Securities issued by the Trust and shall
not be liable to any such holder (other than for the willful misconduct or negligence of the
Trustee) if the Trustee in good faith (i) pays over or distributes to a registered Holder of the
Securities or to the Company or to any other Person, cash, property or securities to which such
holders of such Trust Securities shall be entitled or (ii) takes any action or omits to take any
action at the request of the Holder of such Securities. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect the
obligation of any other such Person to hold such payment for the benefit of, and to pay such amount
over to, such holders of Preferred Securities or Common Securities or their representatives.

-49-

 

     SECTION 6.3. Notice of Defaults.

     Within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any default actually known to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall give the Holders notice of such default unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any
premium or interest on any Securities, the Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding the
notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of
directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is in the interest of holders of Securities; and provided, further, that in the case of any
default of the character specified in Section 5.1(c), no such notice to Holders shall be
given until at least thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section 6.3, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time
or both would become, an Event of Default.

     SECTION 6.4. Certain Rights of Trustee.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2:

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

     (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Indenture the Trustee is required to decide
between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Indenture
the Trustee finds ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the
Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Indenture, then, except as to any
matter as to which the Holders are entitled to decide under the terms of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Company requesting the Company’s written instruction as to
the course of action to be taken and the Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, as the Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by
the Company; provided, that if the Trustee does not receive such instructions from the Company
within ten Business Days after it has delivered such notice or such reasonably shorter period of
time set forth in such notice the Trustee may, but shall be under no duty to, take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, as the Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of
the Holders, in which event the Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct;

     (c) any request or direction of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company
Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced
by a Board Resolution;

     (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Trustee, the
Company or any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the

-50-

 

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;

     (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders or any holder of Preferred
Securities pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders (or such holders of Preferred
Securities) shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities
that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, including reasonable
advances as may be requested by the Trustee;

     (f) 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, indenture, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion
may make such inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

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

     (h) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable to
receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action with
respect to enforcing any remedy or right hereunder, the Trustees (i) may request instructions from
the Holders (which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Securities as would be entitled to direct the Trustee under this Indenture in
respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or
taking such action until such instructions are received and (iii) shall be protected in acting in
accordance with such instructions;

     (i) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be under
any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Indenture;

     (j) without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other proceeding referred to in clauses (d) or (e) of the definition of Event of Default, such
expenses (including legal fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for
such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy laws or
law relating to creditors rights generally;

-51-

 

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

     (l) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless either (i)
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge or (ii) the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof from the Company or a Holder; and

     (m) in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent or
Securities Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this
Article VI shall also be afforded such Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, or Securities
Registrar.

     SECTION 6.5. May Hold Securities.

     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such other agent.

     SECTION 6.6. Compensation; Reimbursement; Indemnity.

     (a) The Company agrees:

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

     (ii) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision
of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and

     (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify the Trustee and
its Affiliates, and their officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives and
employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, liability, tax (other
than income, franchise or other taxes imposed on amounts paid pursuant to (i) or (ii)
hereof), penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred without
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this trust or the performance of the Trustee’s duties
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or

-52-

 

liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder.

     (b) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.6, the Company
hereby grants and pledges to the Trustee and the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities
on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money or property held in
trust to pay principal and interest on particular Securities. Such lien shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

     (c) The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.6 shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

     (d) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits,
even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the
form of action.

     (e) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its
obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to,
acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo,
government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like
which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture.

     SECTION 6.7. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee under Section 6.8.

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company.

     (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may be
removed at any time by the Company by a Board Resolution. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee may be removed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the
Company.

     (d) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any reason, at a time when no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee, and such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 6.8. If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any reason, at a time when an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders, by Act of

-53-

 

the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee, and such successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.8. If no successor Trustee shall have
been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment within sixty (60) days
after the giving of a notice of resignation by the Trustee or the removal of the Trustee in the
manner required by Section 6.8, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
for at least six months (or, if the Securities have been Outstanding for less than six (6) months,
the entire period of such lesser time) may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly
situated, and any resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (e) The Company shall give notice to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.6
of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.

     SECTION 6.8. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each successor Trustee so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,
upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder.

     (b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.8.

     (c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance
such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article VI.

     SECTION 6.9. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
provided, that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI.
In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by

-54-

 

merger, conversion or consolidation or as otherwise provided above in this Section 6.9
to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so
authenticated, and in case any Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the
Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor Trustee or in the
name of such successor Trustee, and in all cases the certificate of authentication shall have the
full force which it is provided anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that the
certificate of the Trustee shall have.

     SECTION 6.10. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither
the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 6.11. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

     (a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Securities,
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon
original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or
pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery
of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall
be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, or of any
State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as
Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent
publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.11 the combined
capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in this Section 6.11.

     (b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating Agent
hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible

-55-

 

under this Section 6.11, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

     (c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.11, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent eligible under the
provisions of this Section 6.11, which shall be acceptable to the Company, and shall give
notice of such appointment to all Holders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.

     (d) The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section 6.11 in such amounts as the Company and
the Authenticating Agent shall agree from time to time.

     (e) If an appointment of an Authenticating Agent is made pursuant to this Section
6.11, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Securities referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

	 	 	 	 	 
	Dated:

made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.

     SECTION 7.3. Reports by Company.

     (a) The Company shall furnish to the Holders and to prospective purchasers of Securities, upon

system, the Guarantor shall notify the Trustee in the manner prescribed herein of each such annual
and quarterly filing. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to access the EDGAR system for
purposes of retrieving the financial information so filed. Compliance with the foregoing shall
constitute compliance with the provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, if
applicable. The Trustee shall have no duty to search for or obtain any electronic or other filings
that the Guarantor makes with the Commission, regardless of whether such filings are periodic,
supplemental or otherwise. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant
to this Section 7.3(c) shall be solely for purposes of compliance with this Section
7.3(c) and, if applicable, with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee’s
receipt of such reports, information and documents shall not constitute notice to it of the content
thereof or any matter determinable from the content thereof, including the Guarantor’s compliance
with any of its covenants hereunder, as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely upon Officers’
Certificates.

     The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or
lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and no Person shall

such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance or
transfer, or that leases, the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety
shall be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any
State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assume, by an indenture
supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including
any Additional Interest) on all the Securities and the performance of every covenant of this
Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

     (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event
that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall have
happened and be continuing; and

     (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and, if a

-58-

 

supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, any such supplemental
indenture comply with this Article VIII and that all conditions precedent herein provided
for relating to such transaction have been complied with; and the Trustee may rely upon such
Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such transaction complies
with this Section 8.1.

     SECTION 8.2. Successor Company Substituted.

     (a) Upon any consolidation or merger by the Company with or into any other Person, or any
conveyance, transfer or lease by the Company of its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to any Person in accordance with Section 8.1 and the execution and delivery to the
Trustee of the supplemental indenture described in Section 8.1(a), the successor entity
formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance,
transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right
and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had
been named as the Company herein; and in the event of any such conveyance or transfer, following
the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall be discharged from all
obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Securities.

     (b) Such successor Person may cause to be executed, and may issue either in its own name or in
the name of the Company, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not
have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor
Person instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this
Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities that
previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, and any Securities that such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be executed
and delivered to the Trustee on its behalf. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have
the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter
issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

     (c) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, such changes in
phraseology and form may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate to
reflect such occurrence.

ARTICLE X

Covenants

     SECTION 10.1. Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest.

     The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities that it will
duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest (including any Additional
Interest) on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. As
of the date of this Indenture, the Company represents that it has no present intention to exercise
its right under Section 2.11 to defer payments of interest on the Securities.

     SECTION 10.2. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.

     (a) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the
Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of and any premium or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or interest
(including Additional Interest) so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its
failure so to act.

     (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on any Securities, deposit with such Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such
amount, such sum to be held as provided in the Trust Indenture Act and (unless such Paying Agent is
the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its failure to so act.

     (c) The Company will cause each Paying Agent for the Securities other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.2, that such Paying Agent will (i)
comply with the provisions of this Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a
Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Securities) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities, upon the

-62-

 

written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such
Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities.

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

     (e) Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal
of and any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal and any premium or interest has become due and payable
shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or
unclaimed property law) be paid on Company Request to the Company, or (if then held by the Company)
shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or
unclaimed property law) be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, that the Trustee or such Paying
Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each
Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice
that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less
than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.

     SECTION 10.3. Statement as to Compliance.

     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the
end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate
covering the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers
thereof the Company is in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions
and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided hereunder), and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the
nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. The delivery requirements of this
Section 10.3 may be satisfied by compliance with Section 8.16(a) of the Trust Agreement.

     SECTION 10.4. Calculation Agent.

     (a) The Company hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding,
there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each

-63-

 

Interest Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Schedule A (the “Calculation
Agent”). The Company has initially appointed the Property Trustee as Calculation Agent for
purposes of determining LIBOR for each Interest Payment Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed
by the Company at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Property Trustee holds
any of the Securities, the Calculation Agent shall be the Property Trustee. If the Calculation
Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed by the Company, the Company will promptly
appoint as a replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank which is engaged in
transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market and which does not
control or is not controlled by or under common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The
Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed.

     (b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as possible after 11:00
a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date (as defined in Schedule A), but in no
event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR
Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate (the Interest Payment
shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upwards) for the related
Interest Payment Date, and will communicate such rate and amount to the Company, the Trustee, each
Paying Agent and the Depositary. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Company the
quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based and, in any event, the Calculation
Agent shall notify the Company before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that
either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts
or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the foregoing rates and
amounts, together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the
foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Payment Date will (in the absence of manifest error)
be final and binding upon all parties. For the sole purpose of calculating the interest rate for
the Securities, “Business Day” shall be defined as any day on which dealings in deposits in Dollars
are transacted in the London interbank market.

     SECTION 10.5. Additional Tax Sums.

     So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if (a) the Trust is the Holder
of all of the Outstanding Securities and (b) a Tax Event described in clause (i) or (iii) in the
definition of Tax Event in Section 1.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall pay to the Trust (and its permitted successors or assigns under the related Trust Agreement)
for so long as the Trust (or its permitted successor or assignee) is the registered holder of the
Outstanding Securities, such amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount of Distributions
(including any Additional Interest Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement)) then due and payable
by the Trust on the Preferred Securities and Common Securities that at any time remain outstanding
in accordance with the terms thereof shall not be reduced as a result of any Additional Taxes
arising from such Tax Event (additional such amounts payable by the Company to the Trust, the
“Additional Tax Sums”). Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities there is a reference in any
context to the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, such mention shall be deemed
to include mention of the payments of the Additional Tax Sums provided for in this Section
10.5 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Tax Sums are,

-64-

 

were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section
10.5 and express mention of the payment of Additional Tax Sums (if applicable) in any
provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Tax Sums in those provisions
hereof where such express mention is not made; provided, that the deferral of the payment of
interest pursuant to Section 3.9 on the Securities shall not defer the payment of any
Additional Tax Sums that may be due and payable.

     SECTION 10.6. Additional Covenants.

     (a) The Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities that if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or the Company shall have given notice of its
election to begin an Extension Period with respect to the Securities or such Extension Period, or
any extension thereof, shall be continuing, it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any
shares of the Company’s equity or membership interests, (ii) vote in favor of or permit or
otherwise allow any of its subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or
redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to or otherwise retire, any
shares of such subsidiaries’ equity or membership interests, or (iii) make any payment of principal
of or any interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the
Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Securities, in each
case, other than (a) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of equity or
membership interests of the Company in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or
other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors
or consultants, (2) a dividend reinvestment or equity or membership interests purchase plan or (3)
the issuance of equity or membership interests of the Company (or securities convertible into or
exercisable for such equity or membership interests) as consideration in an acquisition transaction
entered into prior to the applicable Event of Default or Extension Period, (b) as a result of an
exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s equity or membership interests (or
any capital stock, equity or membership interests of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or
series of the Company’s equity or membership interests or of any class or series of the Company’s
indebtedness for any class or series of the Company’s equity or membership interests, (c) the
purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s equity or membership interests pursuant
to the conversion or exchange provisions of such equity or membership interests or the security
being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any Rights Plan,
the issuance of rights, equity, membership interests or other property under any Rights Plan, or
the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto or (e) any dividend in the form of equity,
membership interests, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend interest or the interest
issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same interest as that on
which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such interest.

     (b) The Company also covenants with each Holder of Securities (i) to hold, directly or
indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of the Common Securities of the Trust, provided, that any
permitted successor of the Company hereunder may succeed to the Company’s ownership of such Common
Securities, (ii) as holder of such Common Securities, not to voluntarily dissolve,

-65-

 

wind-up or liquidate the Trust other than (A) in connection with a distribution of the
Securities to the holders of the Preferred Securities in liquidation of the Trust or (B) in
connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the Trust Agreement
and (iii) to use its reasonable commercial efforts, consistent with the terms and provisions of the
Trust Agreement, to cause the Trust to continue to be taxable as a grantor trust and not as a
corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes.

     (c) The Guarantor also agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to meet the requirements to
qualify, effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, as a real estate investment trust
under the Code.

     SECTION 10.7. Waiver of Covenants.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition
contained in Section 10.6 if, before or after the time for such compliance, the Holders of
at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of
such Holders, and at least a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities then outstanding, by consent of such holders, either waive such compliance in such
instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall
extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until
such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such covenant
or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

     SECTION 10.8. Treatment of Securities.

     The Company will treat the Securities as indebtedness, and the amounts, other than payments of
principal, payable in respect of the principal amount of such Securities as interest, for all U.S.
federal income tax purposes. All payments in respect of the Securities will be made free and clear
of U.S. withholding tax to any beneficial owner thereof that has provided an Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 or W-8BEN (or any substitute or successor form) establishing its U.S. or non-U.S.
status for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or any other applicable form establishing a complete
exemption from U.S. withholding tax.

ARTICLE XI

     SECTION 11.1. Optional Redemption.

     The Company may, at its option, on any Interest Payment Date, on or after January 30, 2011,

the Trustee and the Property Trustee under the Trust Agreement in writing of such date and of the
principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed and provide the additional information required
to be included in the notice or notices contemplated by Section 11.5. In the case of any
redemption of Securities, in whole or in part, (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on
such redemption provided in this Indenture or the Securities or (b) pursuant to an election of the
Company which is subject to a condition specified in this Indenture or the Securities, the Company

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

     (c) The provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 11.4 shall not apply with
respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed
in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the
principal amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less

Holder of Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part, (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Property Trustee under the related Trust Agreement).

     (b) With respect to Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part, each notice of redemption
shall state:

     (iv) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon
each such Security or portion thereof, and that any interest (including any Additional
Interest) on such Security or such portion, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue on and
after said date; and

     (v) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price.

     (c) Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the election of
the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name
and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner
provided above shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the
notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not
affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security.

redemption given as provided in Section 11.5, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or

Securities or portion of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become
due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the
Redemption Date. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment specified
in such notice, the Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the
Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest (including any
Additional Interest) to the Redemption Date.

     (b) Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new
Security or Securities, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the Security so presented and having the same Original Issue Date, Stated
Maturity and terms.

     (c) If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal of and any premium on such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

ARTICLE XII

applicable) when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for
prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of such
default to the Company by the holders of such Senior Debt or any trustee therefor, unless and until
such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect
payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made
on account of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional

-69-

 

Interest) on any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment, retirement,
purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities.

     (b) In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding described in clause (d) or
(e) of the definition of Event of Default (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as
a “Proceeding”), all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of
any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution, whether in
cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of any of the Securities on account
thereof. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than
securities of the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or
readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these
subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the
payment of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof
under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise (but for these
subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities shall be paid or
delivered directly to the holders of Senior Debt in accordance with the priorities then existing
among such holders until all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the
commencement of any Proceeding) shall have been paid in full.

     (c) In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to
Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities, together with the holders of any obligations of the
Company ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining
assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid principal of and
any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities and such other
obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall
be made on account of any equity or membership interests or any obligations of the Company ranking
junior to the Securities and such other obligations. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment
or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property
(other than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization
or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these
subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the
payment of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof
under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) shall be received by the Trustee or any
Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all Senior Debt shall have been paid
in full, such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of,
and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Debt at the time
outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to
the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior
Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) in full. In
the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment,
distribution or security, each holder of Senior Debt is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or
assign the same.

     (d) The Trustee and the Holders, at the expense of the Company, shall take such reasonable
action (including the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for any holders of Senior

-70-

 

Debt or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect hereto) as may, in the
opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Debt
at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the
subordination effected by these provisions.

     (e) The provisions of this Section 12.2 shall not impair any rights, interests,
remedies or powers of any secured creditor of the Company in respect of any security interest the
creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture.

     (f) The securing of any obligations of the Company, otherwise ranking on a parity with the
Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent such obligations
from constituting, respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking
junior to the Securities.

     SECTION 12.3. Payment Permitted If No Default.

     Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the
Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time, except during the pendency of the conditions
described in paragraph (a) of Section 12.2 or of any Proceeding referred to in Section
12.2, from making payments at any time of principal of and any premium or interest (including
any Additional Interest) on the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any moneys
deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of and any premium or
interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such payment by
the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge (in
accordance with Section 12.8) that such payment would have been prohibited by the
provisions of this Article XII, except as provided in Section 12.8.

     SECTION 12.4. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.

     Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Debt, or the
provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the
holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the
payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of
this Article XII (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company
that by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company to substantially the same
extent as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of
subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made to holders of such Senior Debt) to the
rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property
and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of and any premium and interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such
subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property
or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for
the provisions of this Article XII, and no payments made pursuant to the provisions of this
Article XII to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee,
shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of
the

-71-

 

Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the
Senior Debt.

     SECTION 12.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

     The provisions of this Article XII are and are intended solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand and the holders of
Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to
pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and any premium and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of
the Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of
Senior Debt or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security (or to the extent expressly
provided herein, the holder of any Preferred Security) from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, including filing and voting claims
in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII of the holders of
Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the
Trustee or such Holder.

     SECTION 12.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

     Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee
on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XII and appoints the Trustee his or
her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

     SECTION 12.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

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

     (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.7,
the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from to time, without the consent of or notice to
the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to such Holders of
the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article
XII or the obligations hereunder of such Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior
Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or
extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in
any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which

-72-

 

Senior Debt is outstanding, (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property
pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt, (iii) release any Person liable in any manner
for the payment of Senior Debt and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the
Company and any other Person.

     SECTION 12.8. Notice to Trustee.

     (a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of
any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in
respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other
provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written
notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt or from any trustee, agent or
representative therefor; provided, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided
for in this Section 12.8 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, the payment of the principal
of and any premium on or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security), then,
anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and
authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received
and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two
Business Days prior to such date.

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

     SECTION 12.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article
XII, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon
any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is
pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the
Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and
other indebtedness

-73-

 

of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII.

     SECTION 12.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt.

     The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if it
shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or
to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise.

     SECTION 12.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights.

     The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article XII with respect to any Senior Debt that may at any time be held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee
of any of its rights as such holder.

     SECTION 12.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

     If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article XII shall
in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including
such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent
were named in this Article XII in addition to or in place of the Trustee.

be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

Schedule A

DETERMINATION OF LIBOR

     With respect to the Securities, the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions (in each case
rounded to the nearest .000001%):

(1) Subsequent to the expiration of the Fixed Rate Period, on the second LIBOR Business Day (as
defined below) prior to an Interest Payment Date (each such day, a “LIBOR Determination Date”),
LIBOR for any given security shall for the following interest payment period equal the rate, as
obtained by the Calculation Agent from Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News, for
three-month Eurodollar deposits that appears on Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991 Interest Rate and Currency Exchange
Definitions), or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
such LIBOR Determination Date.

(2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Dow Jones Telerate Page 3750
or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, the Calculation Agent shall determine the
arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading
banks in the London interbank market for three-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by
the Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks.
If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations,
LIBOR shall equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date,
only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the
arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in the City of New York selected by
the Calculation Agent are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for three-month
Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the principal
London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market; provided that, if the Calculation
Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance with at least one of the
procedures provided above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR Determination
Date.

(3) As used herein: “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market
selected by the Calculation Agent; and “LIBOR Business Day” means a day on which commercial banks
are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in
London.
