     (i) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution as permitted by Section 2.02, that such form has been established in conformity

conformity with the provisions of this Indenture,

     (iii) that 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 binding obligations of the Company enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity; and

     (iv) that no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of
or with any court or any governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company

          The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under
this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully
be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee

being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company will provide for the registration of
Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar”
for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

          (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or

Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company will execute, and the Trustee
will authenticate and deliver the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

          (d) Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange will (if
so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange
of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, 3.05, or 10.06 not involving any
transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange
Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 calendar days
before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption
under Section 3.02(c) and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing 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 Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not being
redeemed.

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

transferred to, or registered or exchanged for Securities registered in the name of, any Person
other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee thereof, and no such transfer may
be registered, unless (i) such Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that
such Global Security shall be so transferable, registrable, and exchangeable, and such transfers
shall be registrable, (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities evidenced by such Global Security, or (iv) there shall exist such other
circumstances, if any, as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 2.01.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, a Global Security to which the restriction
set forth in the preceding sentence shall have ceased to apply may be transferred only to, and may
be registered and exchanged for Securities registered only in the name or names of, such Person or
Persons as the Depositary for such Global Security shall have directed and no transfer thereof
other than such a transfer may be registered. Every Security authenticated and delivered upon
registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security to which the
restriction set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.05(f) shall apply, whether pursuant
to this Section 2.05, Section 2.06, 2.07, 3.05, or 10.06 or otherwise, will be authenticated and
delivered in the form of, and will be, a Global Security.

          (g) Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any
liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in
violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States Federal or state
securities law.

          (h) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or
among Depositary Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than
to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly
required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements
hereof.

     Section 2.06. Temporary Securities.

          Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and
register and upon Company Order the Trustee will authenticate and deliver temporary Securities
(printed, lithographed, or typewritten) of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the
form of the definitive Securities but

- 17 -

 

with such omissions, insertions, and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Securities, all as may be determined by the officers executing such Securities as evidenced by
their execution of such Securities; provided, however that the Company will use
reasonable efforts to have definitive Securities of that series available at the times of any
issuance of Securities under this Indenture. Every temporary Security will be executed and
registered by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in
substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. The Company
will execute and register and furnish definitive Securities of such series as soon as practicable
and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange
therefor at the office or agency of the Company in the Place of Payment for that series, and the
Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series one
or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations, and of a like
aggregate principal amount and tenor. Such exchange will be made by the Company at its own expense
and without any charge to the Holder therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any
series will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the
same series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     Section 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost, and Stolen Securities.

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

          (b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to each of the
Company’s and Trustee’s satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any Security and (ii)
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company will execute and the Trustee will
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost, or stolen Security, a new Security
of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

          (c) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay
such Security.

          (d) Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee 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 of any series issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in exchange for any
mutilated Security or in lieu of any destroyed, lost, or stolen

- 18 -

 

Security will 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 will be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

          (f) The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful)
all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost, or stolen Securities.

     Section 2.08. Cancellation of Surrendered Securities.

          All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or
for credit against any sinking fund payment will, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and will be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the
Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered will be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities will be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 2.08, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of all cancelled Securities in
accordance with its customary procedures.

     Section 2.09. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.01 with respect to any series of
Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date will 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 at the option of the Company payment may be made (i) except in the case of a
global Security by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address
appears in the Securities Registrar or (ii) by transfer to an account maintained by the Person
entitled thereto as specified in the Securities Registrar provided that proper transfer
instructions have been received by the Regular Record Date.

          (b) Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) will forthwith
cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant regular Record Date by virtue of having been such
Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company together with interest thereon (to
the extent permitted by law) at the rate of interest applicable to such Security, at its election
in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

     (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest (and interest
thereon, if any) to the Persons in whose names the Securities

- 19 -

 

of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which will be fixed in the following manner. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee
in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest (and interest thereon, if any) proposed to
be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the
same time the Company will deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest (and interest
thereon, if any) or will 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 (and interest thereon,
if any) as in this clause (i) provided. Thereupon the Trustee will fix a Special Record
Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (and interest thereon, if any) which will
be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of
the proposed payment and not less than 10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee will promptly notify the Company of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, will 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 Securities of such series at his
address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 calendar days prior to
such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest (and
interest thereon, if any) and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such
Defaulted Interest will be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series
(or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on
such Special Record Date and will no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause
(ii).

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

          (c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09, each Security delivered under
this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security
will carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Security.

     Section 2.10. Persons Deemed Owners.

          Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee,
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of Principal of and
any premium and (subject to Section 2.09) any

- 20 -

 

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

          None of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interest of a Security in global form, or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to any Security in global form, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or
the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any U.S. Depositary or Common Depositary
(or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Security in global form or impair, as between
such U.S. Depositary or Common Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Security in
global form, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the right of such U.S.
Depositary or Common Depositary (or its nominee) as holder of such Security in global form.

     Section 2.11. Computation of Interest.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series,
interest on the Securities of each series will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months.

     Section 2.12. CUSIP Numbers.

          The Company in issuing any series of the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, if then generally
in use, and thereafter with respect to such series, the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice
of redemption or exchange with respect to such series provided that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the
Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the
Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Article III.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

     Section 3.01. Applicability of Article.

          Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity will be redeemable
in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01
for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article III.

- 21 -

 

     Section 3.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

          (a) The election of the Company to redeem any Securities will be evidenced by a Board
Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company will, at least
45 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the Principal
of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to
the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company will furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction.

          (b) Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company will 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 will be irrevocable. Notice of redemption will be given by mail, first class
postage prepaid, not less than 30 or more than 45 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date, to
each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register. All
notices of redemption will include the CUSIP number and will state (i) the Redemption Date, (ii)
the Redemption Price, (iii) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any Securities, the
Principal) of the particular Securities to be redeemed, (iv) that on the Redemption Date the
Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if
applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, (v) the place or
places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, (vi) that
the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and (vii) the specific provision of this
Indenture or any applicable Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Securities are to be
redeemed.

          (c) If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities to be redeemed will be selected not more than 60 calendar days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee may deem fair and
appropriate consistent with DTC procedures (so long as such method is
not prohibited by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Securities are then listed) and
which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the Principal of
Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of that series. The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial
redemption, the Principal thereof to be redeemed.

          (d) For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Securities will relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to
be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the Principal of such Securities which has been or is
to be redeemed.

- 22 -

 

     Section 3.03. Deposit of Redemption Price.

          Prior to 10:00 a.m. (local time at the Place of Payment) on the Redemption Date specified in
the notice of redemption given as provided in Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and
hold in trust as provided in Section 6.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued
interest on, all of the Securities that are to be redeemed on that date.

     Section 3.04. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

          (a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
will, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and
from and after such date (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities will cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security will be paid by the Company
at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however,
that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, installments of interest whose
Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on
the relevant Record Dates in accordance with their terms and the provisions of Section 2.09.

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

     Section 3.05. Securities Redeemed in Part.

          Any Security that is to be redeemed only in part will be surrendered at a Place of Payment
therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company will execute, and the
Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new
Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder, in aggregate Principal equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
portion of the Principal of the Security so surrendered.

Article IV.

SINKING FUNDS

     Section 4.01. Applicability of Article.

          The provisions of this Article IV will be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities
of such series. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any
payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is
herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series, the amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as
provided in Section 4.02. Each sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of a particular
series will be applied to the redemption of Securities of such series as provided for by the terms
of Securities of such series.

     Section 4.02. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities.

          The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously
called for redemption) and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been
redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through
the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with
respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Securities as provided for by the terms of such series, provided that such Securities have not been
previously so credited. Such Securities will be received and credited for such purpose by the
Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of
the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment will be reduced accordingly.

     Section 4.03. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

          Not less than 45 calendar days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount
of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the
portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 4.02 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than
30 calendar days before each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee will select the Securities
to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02(c) and
cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company
in the manner provided in Section 3.02(b). Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of
such Securities will be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.04 and 3.05.

applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series and subject to the proviso to
Section 5.01, the Company will be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect
to the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section 5.02 on and after the date

purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and to have satisfied
all its other obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar as the
Securities of such series are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, will
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which will survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Securities of such
series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 5.04 and as more fully set forth
in Section 5.04, payments in respect of the Principal of and any premium and interest on such

          Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 5.01 to have this Section 5.03
applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series, (a) the Company will be released
from its obligations under Sections 6.04 through 6.07, inclusive, Section 11.01, and the provisions
of any Supplemental Indenture specified in such Supplemental Indenture, and (b) the occurrence of
any event specified in Sections 8.01(a)(iii), 8.01(a)(iv) (with respect to any of Sections 6.04
through 6.07, inclusive, Section 11.01, and the provisions of any Supplemental Indenture specified
in such Supplemental Indenture), 8.01(a)(v), and 8.01(a)(viii) will be deemed not to be or result
in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such

- 25 -

 

series as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section
5.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that the Company may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of
any term, condition, or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so
specified in the case of Section 8.01(a)(iv)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to
any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the
Securities of such series will be unaffected thereby.

U.S. Government Obligations that through the scheduled payment of Principal and interest in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, without reinvestment, not later than one day
before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, in each
case sufficient in the opinion of an independent firm of certified public accountants, to pay and
discharge, and which will be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay

as would have been the case if such Defeasance had not occurred or (B) an Opinion of Counsel, based
on a ruling published by the Internal Revenue Service or on a change in the applicable federal

will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at

the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred.

          (d) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect
that the Securities of such series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted
solely as a result of such deposit.

Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard
to any Event of Default or any such event specified in Sections 8.01(a)(vi) and (vii), at any time

Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance have been complied with.

          (i) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in the trust arising from such
deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, unless such trust will be qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation
thereunder.

     Section 5.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions.

to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 5.04 in respect of the Securities of any
Defeasible Series will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities of such series and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee
may determine, to the Holders of Securities of such series, of all sums due and to become due

not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

          (b) The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee, or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 5.04
or the Principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee, or other
charge that by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article V to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon a Company Request any money or U.S. Government
Obligations held by it as provided in Section 5.04 with respect to Securities of any Defeasible
Series that are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Securities of such
series.

     Section 5.06. Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this
Article V with respect to the Securities of any series by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining, or otherwise prohibiting such application,
then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series will be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article V with respect to
Securities of such series until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all
money held in trust pursuant to Section 5.05 with respect to Securities of such series in
accordance with this Article V; provided, however, that if the Company makes any
payment of Principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
Securities of such series to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

Article VI.

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

     Section 6.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest on Securities.

          The Company, for the benefit of each series of Securities, will duly and punctually pay the
Principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the
terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

     Section 6.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

          (a) The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office
or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The

- 28 -

 

Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such
required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices, and demands.

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

     Section 6.03. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust.

          (a) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of
Securities, it will, prior to 10:00 a.m. (local time at the Place of Payment) on the due date of
the Principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and
hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the Principal
and any premium and 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 of its action or
failure so to act.

          (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it
will, prior to each due date of the Principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of
that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held
as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

          (c) The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the
Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent will agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 6.03, that such Paying Agent will (i)
comply with the provisions of 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 obliger upon the Securities of
that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, and upon the
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 of that series.

          (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

- 29 -

 

trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon
such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent will 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 or any premium or interest on any Security of any series
and remaining unclaimed for two years after such Principal, premium, or interest has become due and
payable will be paid to the Company (or, if then held by the Company, will be discharged from such
trust); and the Holder of such Security will 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, will thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, shall, 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, to be
prepared by the Company, that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which will not be less than 30 calendar days from the date of such publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

     Section 6.04. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

          The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall
become delinquent, (a) all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or upon the income, profits, or property of the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company, and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials, and supplies, in
each case with respect to either (a) or (b) which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the
property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and might have a Material Adverse Effect;
provided, however, that the Company will not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be
paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge, or claim the amount, applicability, or
validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

     Section 6.05. Maintenance of Properties.

          The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the
business of any Subsidiary of the Company to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair, and
working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments, and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be
properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing
in this Section 6.05 will prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of
any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the
conduct of its

- 30 -

 

business or the business of any Subsidiary of the Company and will not result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.06. Existence.

          Subject to Article XI, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do or
cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights (charter and statutory), and franchises; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary will be required to preserve any such existence (with respect to a Subsidiary) right or
franchise if the Company determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof will not result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.07. Compliance with Laws.

          The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable
Federal, state, local, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, or ordinances, including without
limitation such laws, rules, regulations, or ordinances relating to pension, environmental,
employee, and tax matters, in each case to the extent that the failure so to comply would have a
Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.08. Statement by Officers as to Default.

          The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 calendar days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officer’s Certificate signed by the principal
executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer of the Company
stating whether or not to the knowledge of such person after due inquiry the Company is in default
in the performance and 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 is in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which such
person may have such knowledge. In addition, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee, as soon as possible, and in any event within
10 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any
uncured Event of Default or uncured Default and the nature and status
thereof to the extent known by the Company and the action that the
Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

     Section 6.09. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

          The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision, or
condition set forth in Sections 6.04 through 6.07, inclusive, and the provisions of any
Supplemental Indenture specified in such Supplemental Indenture, with respect to the Securities of
any series if the Holders of a majority in Principal of the Outstanding Securities of such series
shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such term, provision, or condition, but no such waiver will extend to or affect
such term, provision, or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver
shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of
any such term, provision, or condition will remain in full force and effect.

- 31 -

 

     Section 6.10. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.

          The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year to the
extent applicable, (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including
daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and
(ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be
relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

          (b) The rights of the Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights
under this Indenture or under the Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges of the
Trustee, will be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act.

          (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and
the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them will be held
accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.

- 32 -

 

     Section 7.03. Reports by Trustee.

          (a) The Trustee will transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions

conclusively rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Article VIII.

DEFAULT

     Section 8.01. Event of Default.

          (a) “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means
any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it may
be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree,
or order of any court or any order, rule, or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body):

     (i) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it
becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 calendar days;
provided, however, that if the Company is permitted by the terms of the Securities of the
applicable series to defer the payment in

- 33 -

 

question, the date on which such payment is due and payable shall be the date on which
the Company is required to make payment following such deferral, if such deferral has been
elected pursuant to the terms of the Securities;

     (ii) default in the payment of the Principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security
of that series when it becomes due and payable;

     (iii) default in the making of any sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms
of a Security of that series;

     (iv) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company
in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty, a default in the performance or
breach of which is elsewhere in this Section 8.01 specifically dealt with or which has
expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of
Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period
of 60 calendar days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the
Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least a
majority in Principal of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice
specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

     (v) any nonpayment at maturity or other default is made under any agreement or
instrument relating to any other Indebtedness of the Company (the unpaid Principal of which
is not less than $50 million), and, in any such case, such default (A) continues beyond any
period of grace provided with respect thereto and (B) results in such Indebtedness becoming
due prior to its stated maturity or occurs at the final maturity of such Indebtedness;
provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01 and 8.08, the Trustee
will not be deemed to have knowledge of such nonpayment or other default unless either (1)
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of nonpayment or other default or
(2) the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the Company, from any Holder, from
the holder of any such Indebtedness or from the trustee under the agreement or instrument
relating to such Indebtedness;

     (vi) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order
for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or
(B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as
properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition
of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or state law, or appointing a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or other similar official
of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or
any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive
calendar days;

- 34 -

 

     (vii) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any
applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or
of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent
by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy
or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or
consent seeking reorganization or relief with respect to the Company under any applicable
Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law, or the
consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession
by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or other similar
official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property pursuant to any such
law, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by
it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking
of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

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

          (b) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising under Section 8.01(a)(vi)
or (vii)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is
continuing, then in every case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than a majority in Principal
of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the Principal (or, if any of the
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the Principal of
such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series
to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if
given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such Principal (or specified amount) will become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a)(vi) or (vii) occurs,
then the Principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Securities shall become
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder.

          (c) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any
series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained
by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VIII provided, the Holders of a majority in Principal
of the outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if (i) the Company has paid or deposited
with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,
(B) the Principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and (D)
all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder

- 35 -

 

and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its
agents and counsel and (ii) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other
than the nonpayment of the Principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by
such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 8.01(d). No
such rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

          (d) The Holders of a majority in Principal of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on
behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with
respect to such series and its consequences, except a default (i) in the payment of the Principal
of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series or (ii) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof which under Article X cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver, such default
will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured,
for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other
default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Section 8.02. Covenant of Company to Pay to Trustee Whole Amount Due on Securities on
Default in Payment of Interest or Principal; Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

          (a) The Company covenants that if (i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any
Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30
calendar days or (ii) default is made in the payment of the Principal of (or premium, if any, on)
any Security when it becomes due and payable, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to
it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on
such Securities for Principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such
interest will be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue Principal and premium and on any
overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as will be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its
agents and counsel.

          (b) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders of Securities of such series 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.

          (c) In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obliger upon the
Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee will be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the
Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders

- 36 -

 

and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee will be authorized
to collect and receive any money 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 consents to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.06.

          (d) No provision of this Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding;
provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other
similar committee.

          (e) 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 will
be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment will, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of
the Trustee and its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities
in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

     Section 8.03. Application of Money Collected by Trustee.

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

	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	FIRST:
	 	To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 9.06;
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

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

	 	THIRD:
	 	To the Company.

- 37 -

 

     Section 8.04. Limitation on Suits by Holders of Securities.

          No Holder of any Security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or
trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) such Holder has previously given written
notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that
series, (b) the Holders of not less than a majority in Principal of the Outstanding Securities of
that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder, (c) such Holder or Holders have offered
to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses, and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request, (d) the Trustee for 60 calendar days after its
receipt of such notice, request, and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
proceeding, and (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in Principal of the Outstanding
Securities of that series, it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders
will have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb, or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders (it being
understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such
actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders), 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 of
such Holders.

     Section 8.05. Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission in Exercise of Rights not
a Waiver of Event of Default.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost, or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy will, 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, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

          (b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will 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 VIII or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the
case may be.

the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect
to the Securities of such series, provided that (a) such direction will not be in conflict
with any rule of law or with this Indenture and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed
proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

     Section 8.07. Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits Under the
Indenture or Against the Trustee.

          In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may
require any party litigant in such suit to file undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may
assess costs, including attorney’s fees and expenses, against any such party litigant, in the
manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this
Section 8.07 nor the Trust Indenture Act will be deemed to authorize any court to require such an
undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder
pursuant to Section 8.09 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate Principal of
the then Outstanding Securities.

     Section 8.08. Notice of Event of Defaults.

          If an Event of Default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee
will give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such Event of Default as and to the
extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any Event of
Default of the character specified in Section 8.01(a)(i) or Section 8.01(a)(iv) with respect to
Securities of such series no such notice to Holders will be given until at least 30 calendar days
after the occurrence thereof. The Company will give the Trustee notice of any uncured Event of
Default within 10 days after any Responsible Officer of the Company becomes aware of or receives
actual notice of such Event of Default.

     Section 8.09. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium, and
Interest.

          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security will have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the Principal of and any
premium and (subject to Section 2.09 and 8.01(a)(i)) interest on such Security on the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption
Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights may not be
impaired without the consent of such Holder.

     Section 8.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

          If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has
been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to
any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee, and the Holders will be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.

     Section 8.11. Trustee May File Proofs of Claims.

          The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceeding relative to the Company or the Subsidiaries (or any
other obligor upon the Securities), their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claim and to distribute the same, and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting
the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture;

          (k) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,

     Section 9.03. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

          The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, may be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any

Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

     Section 9.04. May Hold Securities.

          The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar, or any other

same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar, or such other agent; provided, however that any such ownership shall not relieve any of
the Trustee, Authenticating Agent or Paying Agent of their duties, responsibilities or obligations
in connection with their roles as such.

- 43 -

 

     Section 9.05. Money Held in Trust.

          Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required herein or by law. The Trustee will be under no liability for interest on any

     Section 9.06. Compensation and Reimbursement.

          The Company will (a) pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder as the parties shall agree from time to time (which compensation will not

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, reimburse the Trustee upon its written request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses

agents or counsel; and (c) indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and their

including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence

itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder
or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section.

          The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities as to all property and funds held by it
hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 9.06, except
with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 8.01(vi) or Section 8.01(vii), the expenses (including the reasonable charges
and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute

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

- 44 -

 

     Section 9.08. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

          There will at all times be one or more Trustees hereunder with respect to the Securities of
each series, at least one of which will be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust
Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and its
Corporate Trust Office or principal office in New York City, or any other major city in the United
States that is acceptable to the Company. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining state or Federal
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.08, the combined capital and surplus of such
Person 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 9.08, it will resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article IX.

     Section 9.09. 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 IX will become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 9.10.

          (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by
giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee required by Section 9.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 calendar
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of
the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

          (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act
of the Holders of a majority in Principal of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered
to the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required
by Section 9.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 calendar days after the
giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may, at the expense of the Company,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series.

          (d) If, at any time, (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.07 after written request
therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
six months, (ii) the Trustee ceases to be eligible under Section 9.08 and fails to resign after
written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or (iii) the Trustee becomes
incapable of acting or is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property is appointed or any public officer takes charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation, or liquidation, then, in any
such case, (A) the Company by a

- 45 -

 

Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or (B) subject to
Section 8.07, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may,
on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a
successor Trustee or Trustees.

          (e) If the Trustee resigns, is removed, or becomes incapable of acting, or if a vacancy occurs
in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the
Company by a Board Resolution will promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to
the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be
appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time
there will be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and will
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 9.10. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal, or incapability or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series is appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
Principal of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment
in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 9.10, become the successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner
required by Section 9.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series
for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, at the expense
of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

          (f) The Company will give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series to all holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in
Section 13.03. Each notice will include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

     Section 9.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

          (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed will 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 will become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed, or conveyance, will 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 will, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring

- 46 -

 

Trustee and will duly assign, transfer, and deliver to such Trustee all property and money
held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

          (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee, and each successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series will execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein such successor Trustee will accept such appointment and which (i) will
contain such provisions as may be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest
in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, will
contain such provisions as may be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring will continue to be vested in the retiring
Trustee, and (iii) will add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as may be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture will constitute
such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee will be trustee of a trust
or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other
such Trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, will become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but on request of the
Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee will duly assign, transfer, and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.

          (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company will execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
applicable rights, powers, and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 9.10.

          (d) No successor Trustee will accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance
such successor Trustee is qualified and eligible under this Article IX.

     Section 9.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation, or Succession to Business.

          Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which
the Trustee may be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate
trust business of the Trustee, will be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation is otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article IX, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any

- 47 -

 

further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger,
conversion, or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and
deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had
itself authenticated such Securities.

     Section 9.12. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

          If and when the Trustee is or becomes a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities), the Trustee will be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the
collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

     Section 9.13. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

          (a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more
series of Securities which will be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer,
or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 2.07, and Securities so authenticated will be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and will 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 will be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, any state 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
9.13, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent will 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 9.13, such Authenticating Agent will resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in this Section 9.13.

          (b) Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, or
consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent may be a party, or any corporation succeeding to
all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating
Agent, will continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation is otherwise eligible
under this Section 9.13, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

- 48 -

 

          (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 this Section
9.13, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the
Company and will mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve,
as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent
upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder will become vested with all the rights, powers, and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating
Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent will be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of
this Section 9.13.

          (d) The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section 9.13.

          (e) If an appointment with respect to one or more series of Securities is made pursuant to
this Section 9.13, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative form of certificate of authentication in
the following form:

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

     Section 9.14. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company.

          Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of

in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such
application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer of
the Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in
writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the
case

of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such
application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

purposes:

          (a) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such
successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Securities, all to the extent otherwise
permitted hereunder;

          (b) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series

          (c) to add any additional Events of Default;

          (d) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as may be

issuance of Securities in uncertificated form;

          (e) to add to, change, or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one
or more series of Securities, provided that any such addition, change, or elimination (i)
will neither (A) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such
supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (B) modify adversely the
rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (ii) will become
effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the
execution of such Supplemental Indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision;

          (f) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01

pursuant to the requirements of Section 9.10; or

          (h) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, provided that such action
pursuant to this clause (h) will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of
any series in any material respect.

     Section 10.02. Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of at Least a Majority in
Principal Amount of Outstanding Securities.

          (a) With the consent of the Holders of a majority in Principal of the Outstanding Securities
of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the
Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may
enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture;
provided, however that no such supplemental indenture will, without the consent of
the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

     (i) change the Stated Maturity of the Principal of, or any installment of Principal of
or interest on, any Security, or reduce the Principal thereof or the rate of interest
thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the
Principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a
declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Sections 8.01(b), or change

Date);

     (ii) reduce the percentage in Principal of the Outstanding Securities of any series,
the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the

for in this Indenture; or

     (iii) modify any of the provisions of this Section 10.02, Section 8.01(d) or Section
6.09, except to increase the percentage in Principal of Holders required under any such
Section or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or
waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby,
provided, however that this clause (iii) will not be deemed to require the
consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and
concomitant changes in this Section 10.02 and Section 6.09, or the deletion of this
proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 9.10 and 10.01(g).

- 51 -

 

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

          (c) It will not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 10.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it will be sufficient if such Act
approves the substance thereof.

     Section 10.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

          In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any Supplemental Indenture
permitted by this Article X or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture,
the Trustee will receive, and (subject to Section 9.01) will be fully protected in relying upon, an
Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such Supplemental

          Upon the execution of any Supplemental Indenture under this Article X, this Indenture will be

     Section 10.06. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

(by lease, assignment, sale, or otherwise) all or substantially all of its properties and assets to
another Person unless (i) either (A) the Company shall be the continuing or surviving Person in
such a consolidation or merger or (B) the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which all or substantially all of the
properties and assets of the Company are transferred (the Company or such other Person being
referred to as the “Surviving Person”) shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under

     Section 12.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

          This Indenture will upon a Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any
surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided
for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, will execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when: (a) either (i) all Securities theretofore
authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Securities which have been destroyed, lost, or stolen
and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (B) Securities for the payment
of which money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the
Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section
6.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all such Securities not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, (B) will
become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or (C) are to be

- 53 -

 

called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the
giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and
the Company, in the case of clause (A), (B), or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge
the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for

of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as
the case may be; (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by
the Company; and (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that

any Authenticating Agent under Section 9.13, and, if money shall have been deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section 12.01, the obligations of the
Trustee under Sections 6.03(e) and 12.02, will survive.

     Section 12.02. Application of Trust Money.

          Subject to provisions of Section 6.03(e), all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 12.01 will be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the
Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons
entitled thereto, of the Principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has
been deposited with the Trustee.

Article XIII.

SUBORDINATION

     Section 13.01. Agreement to Subordinate.

          The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of
a Security likewise covenants and agrees by his acceptance thereof, that the obligation of the
Company to make any payment on account of the Principal and interest on each and all of the
Securities shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent provided herein, and that in the case of any
insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding-up of or relating to
the Company as a whole, whether voluntary or involuntary, all obligations to holders of Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of
the Principal or interest on the Securities. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in
full of all sums owing with respect to Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities, together
with the holders of any obligations of the Company Ranking on a

- 54 -

 

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 and interest on the
Securities 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 Company Ranking Junior to the
Securities. In addition, subject to the provisions of Section 13.03, in the event of any such
proceeding, if any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be
payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being
subordinated to the payment of the Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder of
the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and if such Securityholder or the
Trustee, as the case may be, receiving such payment is aware at the time or receipt that all Senior
Indebtedness has not been paid in full, then such payment or distribution shall, if received by any
Securityholder, be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness or, if
received by the Trustee, shall be held by it and delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of the assets of the
Company, and, in each case, shall be applied to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining
unpaid, until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of this
paragraph only, the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of
stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other
company provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are subordinated in right of
payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding to substantially the same
extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this
Article XIII.

          The subordination provisions of the foregoing paragraph shall not be applicable to amounts at
the time due and owing on the Securities on account of the unpaid Principal or interest on the
Securities for the payment of which funds have been deposited in trust with the Trustee or have
been set aside by the Company in trust in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; nor
shall such provisions impair any rights, interests, remedies or powers of any secured creditor of
the Company in respect of any security the creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of
this Indenture.

          If there shall have occurred and be continuing (a) a default in any payment with respect to
any Senior Indebtedness or (b) an event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness as a
result of which the maturity thereof is accelerated, unless and until such payment default or event
of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payments shall be made
by the Company with respect to the Principal or interest on the Securities. The provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply to any payment with respect to which the first paragraph of this Section
13.01 would be applicable.

          The securing of any obligations of the Company Ranking on a Parity with the Securities or
obligations Ranking Junior to the Securities shall not be deemed to

- 55 -

 

prevent such obligations from constituting obligations of the Company Ranking on a Parity with
the Securities or obligations Ranking Junior to the Securities.

          The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or
the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions
set forth in Article XI shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization,
assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company for
the purposes of this Section 13.01 if the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the
Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets
substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, or transfer, comply with the conditions set forth in Article XI.

     Section 13.02. Obligation of the Company Unconditional.

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

     Section 13.03. Notice to Trustee of Facts Prohibiting Payment.

          The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee located
at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit
the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article XIII or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment
to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until the Trustee shall have received
at its Corporate Trust Office written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior
Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor, and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice,
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume
that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice
provided for in this Section 13.03 at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the
payment of the Principal or interest on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the

- 56 -

 

Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the
purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary
which may be received by it during or after such three Business Day period.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 9.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the
delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing itself to be a holder of Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of
Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee 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
Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XIII, the
Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee
as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights
of such Person under this Article XIII, 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 13.04. Application by Trustee of Moneys Deposited with It.

          Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, any deposit of moneys by the
Company with the Trustee or any other agent (whether or not in trust) for any payment of the
Principal or interest on any Securities shall, except as provided in Section 13.03, be subject to
the provisions of Section 13.01.

     Section 13.05. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

          Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall
be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or
distributions of assets of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the Principal
and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, none of the
payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to which the Holders of the
Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XIII, or of
payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIII to the holders of Senior Indebtedness
by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or
distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness; it being understood that
the provisions of this Article XIII 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 the Senior
Indebtedness on the other hand.

- 57 -

 

     Section 13.06. Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of Company or
Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

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

     Section 13.07. Authorization of Trustee to Effectuate Subordination of Securities.

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

          If, in the event of any proceeding or other action relating to the Company referred to in the
first sentence of Section 13.01, a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such
proceeding or action is not filed by or on behalf of the Holders of the Securities prior to fifteen
days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holder or holders of
Senior Indebtedness shall have the right to file and are hereby authorized to file appropriate
claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities; provided, that no such filing by any
holders of Senior Indebtedness shall preclude the Trustee from filing such a proof of claim on
behalf of the Holders of Securities.

     Section 13.08. Right of Trustee to Hold Senior Indebtedness.

          The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth in
this Article XIII in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it in its individual
capacity to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this
Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in
this Article shall subordinate to Senior Indebtedness the claims of, or any payments to, the
Trustee under Section 9.06.

     Section 13.09. Article XIII Not to Prevent Events of Default.

          The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Securities by reason of any provision in this
Article shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default or an Event of Default.

     Section 13.10. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

          In case 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 XIII shall in such
case (unless the content otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying
Agent within its meaning as fully for all

- 58 -

 

intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in
place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 13.08 shall not apply to the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

     Section 13.11. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

          Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XIII,
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.01, and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which
such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or
similar case or 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 Indebtedness 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 XIII.

     Section 13.12. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

          The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness 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 Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of
this Article XIII or otherwise. With respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness,
the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 13 and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

     Section 13.13. Payment Permitted If No Default.

          Nothing contained in this Article XIII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the
Securities shall prevent the Company, at any time except during the case of any insolvency,
receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment or debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding-up of or relating to the Company
referred to in Section 13.01, from making payments at any time of Principal or interest on the
Securities or as provided in the third paragraph of Section 13.01.

          Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice will be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in
the Security 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. 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 will 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 will be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders will be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing will not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other
cause it will be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as may be made
with the approval of the Trustee will constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose
hereunder.

     Section 14.04. Indenture and Securities to be Construed in Accordance with the Laws of the
State of New York; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

          This Indenture and the Securities will be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the
State of New York, and for all purposes will be construed in accordance with the laws of said State
without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws of such State.

          EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     Section 14.05. Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

          Upon any application or demand by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any of
the provisions of this Indenture, the Company upon request shall furnish to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent
provided for in this Indenture have been complied with, or an Opinion
of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all conditions
precedent relating
to the proposed action have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or
demand as to which the furnishing of such document is specifically required by any provision of
this Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no
additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

          Each certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with
respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this

- 61 -

 

Indenture shall include: (1) a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion
has read such covenant or condition; (2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or
opinion are based; (3) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, he or she has made such
examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as
to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and (4) a statement as to
whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

     Section 14.06. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

          In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by
the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document,
but one such Person may certify or give an opinion 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. Where any Person is required to make, give, or execute
two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions, or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

     Section 14.07. Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

          In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, or Stated Maturity of any
Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of the Securities of any
series which specifically states that such provision will apply in lieu of this Section 14.07))
payment of interest or Principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the
same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated
Maturity, provided that no interest will accrue for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date, or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

     Section 14.08. Provisions Required by Trust Indenture Act to Control.

          If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies, or conflicts with the duties imposed on
any Person by Sections 310 to and including 317 of the Trust Indenture Act (including provisions
automatically deemed included in this Indenture pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act unless this
Indenture provides that such provisions are excluded), which are deemed to be a part of and govern
this Indenture, whether or not contained herein, then such imposed duties will control.

     Section 14.09. Invalidity of Particular Provisions.

          In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Indenture or in the Securities is
for any reason held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this

- 62 -

 

Indenture or of the Securities, but this Indenture and such Securities will be construed as if
such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

     Section 14.10. Indenture May be Executed In Counterparts.

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

     Section 14.11. Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given 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 agent
duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action will
become effective when such instrument or instruments 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 will 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 14.11.

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit will also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

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

          (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other Act of
the Holder of any Security will bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of
every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu
thereof in respect of anything done, omitted, 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) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, set any day as
the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series
entitled to give or take any request, demand,

- 63 -

 

authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. With regard to any
record date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, will be
entitled to give or take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such
record date. With regard to any action that may be given or taken hereunder only by Holders of a
requisite Principal of Outstanding Securities of any series (or their duly appointed agents) and
for which a record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its option, set an
expiration date after which no such action purported to be given or taken by any Holder will be
effective hereunder unless given or taken on or prior to such expiration date by Holders of the
requisite Principal of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly
appointed agents). On or prior to any expiration date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company
may, on one or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date. Nothing in this
paragraph will prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent thereof) from giving or taking,
after any such expiration date, any action identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different
from, the action or purported action to which such expiration date relates, in which event the
Company may set a record date in respect thereof pursuant to this paragraph. Nothing in this
Section 14.11(e) will be construed to render ineffective any action taken at any time by the
Holders (or their duly appointed agents) of the requisite Principal of Outstanding Securities of
the relevant series on the date such action is so taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the
Trust Indenture Act, the Company will not set a record date for, and the provisions of this Section
14.11(e) will not apply with respect to, any notice, declaration, or direction referred to in the
next paragraph.

          (f) Upon receipt by the Trustee from any Holder of Securities of a particular series of (a)
any notice of default or breach referred to in Section 8.01(a)(iv) or 8.01(a)(v) with respect to
Securities of such series, if such default or breach has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee
shall not have given such notice to the Company, (b) any declaration of acceleration referred to in
Section 8.01(b), if an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series has occurred and
is continuing and the Trustee shall not have given such a declaration to the Company, or (c) any
direction referred to in Section 8.06 with respect to Securities of such series, if the Trustee
shall not have taken the action specified in such direction, then a record date will automatically
and without any action by the Company or the Trustee be set for determining the Holders of
Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such notice, declaration, or direction,
which record date will be the close of business on the tenth calendar day following the day on
which the Trustee receives such notice, declaration, or direction. Promptly after such receipt by
the Trustee, and in any case not later than the fifth calendar day thereafter, the Trustee will
notify the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series of any such record date
so fixed. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly
appointed agents), and only such Persons, will be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, or
direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided
that, unless such notice, declaration, or direction shall have become effective by virtue of
Holders of the requisite Principal of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or
their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th calendar day

- 64 -

 

after such record date, such notice, declaration, or direction will automatically and without
any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this Section 14.11(f)
will be construed to prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or
after the expiration of such 90-day period, a notice, declaration, or direction contrary to or
different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, the notice, declaration, or
direction to which such record date relates, in which event a new record date in respect thereof
will be set pursuant to this Section 14.11(f). Nothing in this Section 14.11(f) will be construed
to render ineffective any notice, declaration, or direction of the type referred to in this Section
14.11(f) given at any time to the Trustee and the Company by Holders (or their duly appointed
agents) of the requisite Principal of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date
such notice, declaration, or direction is so given.

          (g) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action
hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the
Principal 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 different part of such Principal.

     Section 14.12. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

          The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
will not affect the construction hereof.

     Section 14.13. Benefits of Indenture.

          Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, will give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under this Indenture.

     Section 14.14. Force Majeure.

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

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, all as

of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof upon the cancellation hereof.”]

Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by
the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture
and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security will 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,

          As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security
will not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall
have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than a majority% in principal amount of the
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee
indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with

- 71 -

 

such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding for 60 calendar days after
receipt of such notice, request, and offer of indemnity. The foregoing will apply to any suit
instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or
any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
will alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and any premium and interest 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 registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the
principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

          The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

          No service charge will 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

Borrower with respect to the provisions hereof, (iii) the execution and delivery hereof by the
Borrower and the performance and observance by the Borrower of the provisions hereof and all
