dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Corporation out of the
assets of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends in such amounts and
payable in such manner as the board of directors may from time to time determine. Subject to
the rights of the holders of any other class of shares of the Corporation entitled to receive

directors may in their sole discretion declare dividends on the Common Shares to the exclusion
of any other class of shares of the Corporation.

	(b)	 	Participation upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up: In the event of the liquidation,

Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, the holders of
the Common Shares shall, subject to the rights of the holders of any other class of shares of
the Corporation entitled to receive the assets of the Corporation upon such a distribution in
priority to or ratably with the holders of the Common Shares, be entitled to participate
ratably in any distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

	(c)	 	Voting Rights: The holders of the Common Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and
to attend all annual and special meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation and to one
vote in respect of each common share held at all such meetings.

	3.	 	Class C Shares

            I.   The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Class C Shares as a
class are as follows:

	(a)	 	Dividends and Other Distributions:

	 	(i)	 	The holders of the Class C Shares, subject to the rights of the holders of any
class of shares entitled to receive dividends and any other distributions in priority
to the holders of Class C Shares, but in priority to the holders of the Common Shares
and all other shares ranking junior to the Class C Shares in respect of the payment of
dividends, shall be entitled to receive and the Corporation shall, subject to the terms
hereof, pay thereon, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Corporation
out of the assets of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends,
fixed preferential cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 7% per annum (or such
higher rate as may apply pursuant to clause 3.I.(a)(iii) hereof) on the Class C Issue
Price (the “Class C Cumulative Dividends”) for each such share. Class C Cumulative
Dividends shall be payable as provided in clause 3.I.(a)(ii) hereof and shall accrue
and be cumulative from the Issue Date.

	 	(ii)	 	No Class C Cumulative Dividends shall be declared or paid prior to the third
anniversary date of the Issue Date. Thereafter, on each subsequent anniversary date of
the Issue Date, then

	 	(A)	 	provided that the Corporation has not, prior to such third or
subsequent anniversary date, received Net Proceeds equal to or greater than
Cdn. $35,000,000, there shall be declared and paid in cash Class C

 

 

	 	 	 	Cumulative Dividends, if both before and, on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to
the payment of such Class C Cumulative Dividends, the Consolidated Interest
Coverage Ratio of the Corporation does not exceed 2.25 to 1; and
	 
	 	(B)	 	if the Corporation has received Net Proceeds equal to or
greater than Cdn. $35,000,000 prior to such third or a subsequent anniversary
date of the Issue Date, one-half of the Class C Cumulative Dividends as have
accrued prior to such third or subsequent anniversary date immediately
preceding receipt of such Net Proceeds shall be paid in cash on each of the
first and second anniversary dates of the Issue Date after such third or
subsequent anniversary date, unless the aggregate amount of such payments to be
paid in cash on such date would exceed Cdn. $2,000,000 in either such year, in
which case one-third of such accrued Class C Cumulative Dividends shall be
declared and paid in cash on each of the first, second and third anniversary
dates of the Issue Date after such third or subsequent anniversary date.

	 	(iii)	 	If, on any anniversary date of the Issue Date after the third such anniversary
date, the Class C Cumulative Dividends to be paid on such date are not paid in full in
cash and such dividends were required to have been paid in full in cash pursuant to
clause 3.I.(a)(ii), above, the rate at which Class C Cumulative Dividends shall accrue
and be payable after such anniversary date as provided in clause 3.I.(a)(i) shall
increase by 1% per annum, to a maximum dividend rate of 10% per annum, until such time
as all Class C Cumulative Dividends have been paid in cash as provided herein,
whereupon the dividend rate will revert to 7% per annum.

	 	(iv)	 	If, on any date on which Class C Cumulative Dividends are to be paid, the
dividend payable on such date is not paid in full on all the Class C Shares then issued
and outstanding, such dividend, or the unpaid part thereof, shall be paid at a
subsequent date or dates in priority to dividends on the Common Shares and any other shares
ranking junior to the Class C Shares in respect of the payment of dividends.

	 	(v)	 	Payment of dividends shall be made by cheque negotiable without charge at any
branch of the Corporation’s bankers for the time being in Canada. The mailing of such
cheques to holders of Class C Shares shall satisfy and discharge all liability of the
Corporation for such dividends to the extent of the sums represented thereby (plus any
tax required to be deducted or withheld therefrom) unless such cheques are not paid on
due presentation. A dividend which is represented by a cheque which has not been
presented for payment within 6 years after it was issued or that otherwise remains
unclaimed for a period of 6 years from the date on which the cheque was mailed shall be
forfeited to the Corporation.

	 	(vi)	 	Subject to the terms hereof, the holders of Class C Shares shall not be
entitled to any dividends or other distributions other than or in excess of the
preferential cumulative cash dividends hereinbefore provided.

 

 

	(b)	 	Dividends Preferential: Except with the consent in writing of the holders of all the Class C
Shares outstanding, no dividend or other distribution shall be declared and made or set apart
for payment on the Common Shares or upon any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to
or on a parity with the Class C Shares as to dividends or upon liquidation, nor shall any
Common Shares nor any other such shares of the Corporation ranking junior to or on a parity
with the Class C Shares as to dividends or upon liquidation, be redeemed, purchased or
otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a
sinking fund of the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation (except by conversion
into or exchange for stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Class C Shares as to
dividends and as to liquidation) unless and until the accrued Class C Cumulative Dividends on
all of the Class C Shares outstanding have been declared and paid.

	(c)	 	Participation upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up: In the event of the liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of assets of the
Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, whether
voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Class C Shares shall be entitled to receive from
the property and assets of the Corporation an amount equal to the aggregate Class C Redemption
Amount (as hereinafter defined) of all Class C Shares held by them respectively before any
distribution of any part of the property or assets of the Corporation to the holders of Common
Shares or shares of any other class ranking junior to the Class C Shares in respect of such
distribution. After payment to the holders of the Class C Shares of the Class C Redemption
Amount, such holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets
of the Corporation.

	(d)	 	Redemption by Corporation: The Corporation may at any time redeem the whole, or from time to
time or times redeem any part of the then outstanding Class C Shares (any of the foregoing
being an “Optional Redemption”) and, on the date that is eight and one-half years after the
Issue Date, shall redeem the whole of the then outstanding Class C Shares (such redemption on
the date that is eight and one-half years after the Issue Date being a “Mandatory Redemption”)
on payment for each Class C Share to be redeemed of the Class C Issue Price, plus all unpaid
Class C Cumulative Dividends which shall have accrued thereon and which shall be treated as
accruing to, but not including, the date of such redemption, the whole constituting and being
herein referred to as the “Class C Redemption Amount”. Provided that if the Corporation is
not permitted, at the date set for the Mandatory Redemption, by virtue of applicable law, to
redeem all of the Class C Shares then to be redeemed, it shall redeem, pro rata, such number
of Class C Shares then called for redemption as it may then redeem. The Corporation may at
any time undertake the Optional Redemption. If there is an Optional Redemption, and less than
all the Class C Shares are to be redeemed, the Class C Shares to be redeemed in such Optional
Redemption shall be a pro rata portion of the Class C Shares held by each holder on the date
of such Optional Redemption.

 

 

	(e)	 	Notice of Redemption: In respect of the redemption of Class C Shares pursuant to the
provisions of clause 3.I.(d) hereof, the Corporation shall, at least 21 days (or, if all of
the holders of the Class C Shares consent, such shorter period to which they may consent)
before the date specified for redemption, mail (or, with the consent of any particular
holder, otherwise deliver) to each person who, at the date of mailing (or delivery, as the
case may be) is a holder of Class C Shares to be redeemed a notice in writing of the
intention of the Corporation to redeem such Class C Shares. Such notice shall (subject to
the consent of any particular holder referred to above) be mailed by letter, postage
prepaid, addressed to each such holder at his address as it appears on the records of the
Corporation or, in the event of the address of any such holder not so appearing, then to the
last known address of such holder; provided, however, that accidental failure to give any
such notice to one or more of such holders shall not affect the validity of such redemption;
but if such failure is discovered, notice as aforesaid shall be given forthwith to such
holder or holders and shall have the same force and effect as if given in due time, provided
that such notice shall not extend the date specified for such redemption. Such notice shall
set out the number of Class C Shares held by the person to whom it is addressed which are to
be redeemed; the aggregate Class C Redemption Amount to which such holder is entitled; the
date on which redemption is to take place; and the place or places in Canada at which the
holders of Class C Shares may present and surrender the certificates representing such shares for redemption.

	(f)	 	Payment of Class C Redemption Amount: On the date so specified for redemption, the
Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to or to the order of the holders of the Class C
Shares to be redeemed the Class C Redemption Amount thereof on presentation and surrender at
the registered office of the Corporation or any other place designated in such notice of the
certificates representing the Class C Shares called for redemption. Such payment shall be
made by cheque payable at par at any branch of the Corporation’s bankers in Canada. From and
after the date specified for redemption in any such notice the holders of the Class C Shares
called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to
exercise any of the rights of holders of Class C Shares in respect thereof unless payment of
the Class C Redemption Amount is not made upon presentation of certificates in accordance with
the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders of the said Class C Shares
shall remain unaffected. The Corporation shall have the right at any time after the mailing
(or delivery, as the case may be) of notice of its intention to redeem any Class C Shares to
deposit the Class C Redemption Amount of the shares so called for redemption to a special
account in any chartered bank or in any trust company in Canada, named in such notice, to be
paid without interest to or to the order of the respective holders of such Class C Shares
called for redemption upon presentation and surrender to such bank or trust company of the
certificates representing the same, and upon such deposit being made, the rights of the
holders thereof after such deposit or such redemption date, whichever is the earlier, shall be
limited to receiving without interest their proportionate part of the total Class C Redemption
Amount so deposited against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them
respectively, and any interest allowed on such deposit shall belong to the Corporation.

 

 

	(g)	 	Voting Rights: Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of the Class C Shares shall
not, as such, be entitled to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of shareholders of the
Corporation and shall not be entitled to vote at any such meeting. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the holders of the Class C Shares shall not be entitled to vote
separately as a class on any proposal to amend the Articles of the Corporation to:

	 	(i)	 	increase or decrease any maximum number of authorized Class C Shares, or
increase any maximum number of authorized shares of a class having rights or privileges
equal or superior to the Class C Shares; or

	 	(ii)	 	effect an exchange, reclassification or cancellation of all or part of the
Class C Shares; or

	 	(iii)	 	create a new class of shares equal or superior to the Class C Shares.

	(h)	 	Series: The Class C Shares are issuable in two series, with an unlimited number of Class C
Shares, Series 1, constituting the first series and an unlimited number of Class C Shares,
Series 2, constituting the second series. Class C Shares, Series 2 shall only be issued as a
result of the conversion of Class C Shares, Series 1 into Class C Shares, Series 2.
Immediately prior to any such conversion, the directors shall by resolution fix (i) the number
of Class C Shares, Series 2 to be issued as such number as shall equal the number of Class C
Shares, Series 1 which are to be converted into Class C Shares, Series 2; and (ii) the number
of votes which each Class C Share, Series 2 shall have attached to it, which number shall be
such number as the directors shall by resolution, in their discretion, determine, to a maximum
number of votes for all of the Class C Shares, Series 2 to be issued upon the conversion of
the Class C Shares, Series 1, which shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 35% of the votes
attached to all voting shares of the Corporation which will be outstanding immediately
following such conversion.

            II.   Class C Shares, Series 1

            In addition to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Class C
Shares as a class, the Class C Shares, Series 1 shall have the following rights, privileges,
restrictions and conditions:

	(a)	 	Mandatory Conversion:

	 	(i)	 	Mandatory Conversion: All, but not less than all, of the Class Shares, Series
1 of the Corporation may, on such date as may be determined by the directors of the
Corporation by resolution in their sole discretion, be converted into the same number
of Class C Shares, Series 2 as are outstanding on the date set for conversion on the
basis of one Class C Share, Series 2 for each Class C Share, Series 1.

	 	(ii)	 	Directors to Fix Number, Votes: Prior to giving the notice of conversion
provided for in clause 3.II.(a)(iii), the directors shall by resolution have fixed (i)
the number of Class C Shares, Series 2 to be issued as set forth in clause 3.I.(h); and
(ii) the number of votes which each Class C Share, Series 2 shall have attached to it,
as set forth in clause 3.I.(h).

 

 

	 	(iii)	 	Notice of Conversion: In respect of the conversion of Class C Shares, Series
1 pursuant to the provisions of clause 3.II.(a)(i) hereof, the Corporation shall at
least 21 days before the date specified for conversion mail or deliver to each person
who at the date of mailing (or delivery, as the case may be) is a holder of Class C
Shares, Series 1 to be converted a notice in writing of the intention of the
Corporation to convert such Class C Shares, Series 1 into Class C Shares, Series 2.
Such conversion shall take place on such date as is specified in the said notice,
which date shall not be less than 21 days following the date of said notice.
Effective on such date, the holder of the Class C Shares, Series 1 being converted
shall be deemed to have become, and shall be registered as, the holder of the Class
C Shares, Series 2 resulting from the conversion and shall cease to be registered as
a holder of the Class C Shares, Series 1 converted. The Corporation shall specify
in such notice the date on which the conversion is to occur, the number of Class C
Shares, Series 1 held by the person to whom it is addressed to be converted, the
number of Class C Shares, Series 2 to be issued upon such conversion, the date upon
which the conversion will occur and that the holder of Class C Shares, Series 1
shall have become the registered holder of the Class C Shares, Series 2 resulting
from the conversion on such date. Such notice shall be mailed by letter, postage
prepaid, addressed to each such holder at his address as it appears on the records
of the Corporation or in the event of the address of any such holder not so
appearing then to the last known address of such holder; provided, however, that
accidental failure to give any such notice to one or more of such holders shall not
affect the validity of such conversion; but if such failure is discovered, notice as
aforesaid shall be given forthwith to such holder or holders and shall have the same
force and effect as if given in due time, provided that such notice shall not extend
the date specified for such conversion.

            III.   Class C Shares, Series 2

            In addition to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Class C
Shares as a class, the Class C Shares, Series 2 shall have the following rights, privileges,
restrictions and conditions:

	(a)	 	Voting Rights: The holders of the Class C Shares, Series 2 shall be entitled to receive
notice of and to attend all annual and special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation
and to such number of votes for each Class C Share, Series 2, held by them as shall have been
fixed by the directors by resolution prior to the issue of Class C Shares, Series 2, as set
forth in clause 3.I.(h).

 

 

	4.	 	Special Shares

            The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Special Shares are as
follows:

	(a)	 	Series: The Special Shares may at any time or from time to time be issued in one or more
series. The board of directors of the Corporation may from time to time before the issue
thereof fix the number of shares in, and determine the designation, rights, privileges,
restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of, each series of Special Shares.

	(b)	 	Priority: The Special Shares shall be entitled to priority over the Class C Shares and the
Common Shares and all other shares ranking junior to the Special Shares with respect to
the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets of the Corporation in the event of
any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of
assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs.

	(c)	 	Voting Rights: Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of the Special Shares shall
not, as such, be entitled to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of
the Corporation and shall not be entitled to vote at any such meeting. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the holders of the Special Shares shall not be entitled to vote
separately as a class on any proposal to amend the Articles of the Corporation to:

	 	(i)	 	increase or decrease any maximum number of authorized Special Shares, or
increase any maximum number of authorized shares of a class having rights or privileges
equal or superior to the Special Shares; or

	 	(ii)	 	effect an exchange, reclassification or cancellation of all or part of the
Special Shares; or

	 	(iii)	 	create a new class of shares equal or superior to the Special Shares.

 

 

SCHEDULE II

	1.	 	The number of directors of the Corporation at anytime shall be such number within the minimum
and maximum number of directors set forth in the articles of the Corporation as is determined
from time to time by resolution of the directors in light of the Corporation’s contractual
obligations in effect from time to time.
	 
	2.	 	Subject to the Act and Corporation’s contractual obligations then in effect, the directors
may fill any vacancies among the directors, whether arising due to an increase in the number
of directors within the minimum and maximum number of directors set forth in the articles of
the Corporation or otherwise.
	 
	3.	 	The directors shall be divided into three classes, with one-third of the directors to be
elected for a term of one year, one-third for a term of two years and one-third for a term of
three years, so that the term of office of one-third of the directors shall expire each year.
At each election of directors after the effective date hereof to elect directors whose terms
have expired, directors shall be elected for a term of three years. In any election or
appointment of a director to fill a vacancy created by any director ceasing to hold office,
the election or appointment shall be for the unexpired term of the director who has ceased to
hold office. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be
apportioned among the classes of directors in such a manner as will maintain or attain, to the
extent possible, an equal number of directors in each class of directors. If such equality is
not possible, the increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes of directors in
such a manner that the difference in the number of directors in any two classes shall not

	 	The articles of the above-named corporation are amended as follows:
	 	 	Les statuts de la société mentionnée ci-dessus sont modifiés de la façon suivante:

That the Certificate and Articles of Amalgamation dated January 1, 2002 of the Corporation be amended by deleting the Schedule I including
I-A of Article 3 and Schedule II of Article 7 thereof and replacing those schedules with the following Schedule 1 including I‐A and Schedule II:

SCHEDULE I

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares and an
unlimited number of Special Shares, issuable in series. Schedule I-A attached hereto sets forth
the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions of such shares.

SCHEDULE I-A

	1.	 	Common Shares

The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Common Shares are as
follows:

(a)   Payment of Dividends: The holders of the Common Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends
if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation out of the assets of the
Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends in such amounts and payable in
such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. Subject to the rights
of the holders of any other class of shares of the Corporation entitled to receive dividends
in priority to or ratably with the holders of the Common Shares, the Board of Directors may in
their sole discretion declare dividends on the Common Shares to the exclusion of any other
class of shares of the Corporation.

(b)   Participation upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up: In the event of the liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of assets of the
Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, the holders of
the Common Shares shall, subject to the rights of the holders of any other class of shares of
the Corporation entitled to receive the assets of the Corporation upon such a distribution in
priority to or ratably with the holders of the Common Shares, be entitled to participate
ratably in any distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

(c)   Voting Rights: The holders of the Common Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to
attend all annual and special meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation and to one vote
in respect of each Common Share held at all such meetings.

	2.	 	Special Shares

The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Special Shares are as
follows:

(a)   Series: The Special Shares may at any time or from time to time be issued in one or more
series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may from time to time before the issue
thereof fix the number of shares in, and determine the designation, rights, privileges,
restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of, each series of Special Shares.

 

 

(b)   Priority: The Special Shares shall be entitled to priority over the Common Shares and all
other shares ranking junior to the Special Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and
the distribution of assets of the Corporation in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of assets of the Corporation among its
shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs.

(c)   Voting Rights: Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of the Special Shares shall
not, as such, be entitled to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of
the Corporation and shall not be entitled to vote at any such meeting. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the holders of the Special Shares shall not be entitled to vote
separately as a class on any proposal to amend the Articles of the Corporation to:

(i)   increase or decrease any maximum number of authorized Special Shares, or increase any maximum
number of authorized shares of a class having rights or privileges equal or superior to the
Special Shares; or

(ii)   effect an exchange, reclassification or cancellation of all or part of the Special Shares; or

(iii)   create a new class of shares equal or superior to the Special Shares.

SCHEDULE II

1.   The number of directors of the Corporation at any time shall be such number within the
minimum and maximum number of directors set forth in the articles of the Corporation as is
determined from time to time by resolution of the directors in light of the Corporation’s
contractual obligations in effect from time to time.

2.   Subject to the Canada Business Corporations Act and the Corporation’s contractual obligations
then in effect, the directors may fill any vacancies among the directors, whether arising due
to an increase in the number of directors within the minimum and maximum number of directors
set forth in the articles of the Corporation or otherwise.

3.   The directors shall be divided into three classes and for a term of three years. In any
election or appointment of a director to fill a vacancy created by any director ceasing to
hold office, the election or appointment shall be for the unexpired term of the director who
has ceased to hold office. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease
shall be apportioned among the classes of directors in such a manner as will maintain or
attain, to the extent possible, an equal number of directors in each class of directors. If
such equality is not possible, the increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes
of directors in such a manner that the difference in the number of directors in any two
classes shall not exceed one.

4.   Meetings of shareholders may be held in New York, New York; Los Angeles, California; Chicago,
Illinois; Houston, Texas; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; San Diego, California; Dallas, Texas;
Phoenix, Arizona; Detroit, Michigan; San Antonio, Texas and Washington, DC; or in any place in
Canada that the directors from time to time determine.

11

 

                    SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

          In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by
the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document,
but one such Person may certify or give an opinion 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.

          Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to
legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, or a certificate or representations by counsel, unless such Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that
the certificate or opinion or representations by counsel with respect to the matters upon which his
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such Opinion of Counsel or certificate or
representations may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, an Officer or Officers of the Company stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such
counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion
or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an
accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the Company, unless such Officer or counsel, as
the case may be, knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which such certificate or
opinion may be based are erroneous. Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of
chartered accountants filed with the Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is
independent.

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

                    SECTION 104. Acts of Holders.

          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all
series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly
appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and,
where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such
record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as
the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the
holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for

12

 

any purpose of this Indenture and
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

          (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of 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 principal amount and serial numbers of Securities held by any Person, and the date of
holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

          (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Securities any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such
record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall
be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in
connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record
date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act
may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether
Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date;
provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record
date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.

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

                    SECTION 105. Notices, etc. to Trustee and Company.

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

13

 

     (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, or

     (2) the Company or any Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company, Attention: General Counsel, addressed
to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously furnished in writing to
the Trustee by the Company.

                    SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

          Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Securities by the Company
or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by
such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date,
and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case
where notice to Holders of Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice,
nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Holders of Securities. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the
manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether
or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

          In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason
of any other cause, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Holders of Securities
when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any
manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be
sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

          Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted
under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in
an official language of the country of publication.

          Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing
by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver
shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the
Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.

                    SECTION 107. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

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

                    SECTION 108. Successors and Assigns.

14

 

          All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.

                    SECTION 109. Separability Clause.

          In case any provision in this Indenture or in any Security shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

                    SECTION 110. Benefits of Indenture.

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

                    SECTION 111. Governing Law.

          This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
law of the State of New York. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed
by such provisions.

                    SECTION 112. Legal Holidays.

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

                    SECTION 113. Currency Indemnity. (a) The Company covenants and agrees that the following provisions shall apply to
conversion of currency in the case of the Securities and this Indenture:

     (i) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in, or enforcing the judgment of, any
court in any country, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) an amount due or contingently due under the Securities of any series and this
Indenture (the “Required Currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which a final judgment which is
not appealable or is not appealed is given or the order of enforcement is made, as the case
may be (unless a court shall otherwise determine).

15

 

     (ii) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day
before the day on which the judgment referred to in (i) above is given or an order of
enforcement is made, as the case may be (or such other date as a court shall determine), and
the date of receipt of the amount due, the Company shall pay such additional (or, as the
case may be, such lesser) amount, if any, as may be necessary so that the amount paid in the
Judgment Currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt
shall produce the amount in the Required Currency originally due.

          (b) In the event of the winding-up of the Company at any time while any amount or damages
owing under the Securities and this Indenture, or any judgment or order rendered in respect
thereof, shall remain outstanding, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Holders and the Trustee
harmless against any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange
between (1) the date as of which the equivalent of the amount in the Required Currency (other than
under this paragraph (b)) is calculated for the purposes of such winding-up and (2) the final date
for the filing of proofs of claim in such winding-up. For the purpose of this paragraph (b) the
final date for the filing of proofs of claim in the winding-up of the Company shall be the date
fixed by the liquidator or otherwise in accordance with the relevant provisions of applicable law
as being the latest practicable date as at which liabilities of the Company may be ascertained for
such winding-up prior to payment by the liquidator or otherwise in respect thereto.

          (c) The obligations contained in paragraphs (a)(ii) and (b) above shall constitute separate
and independent obligations of the Company from its other obligations under the Securities and this
Indenture, shall give rise to separate and independent causes of action against the Company, shall
apply irrespective of any waiver or extension granted by any Holder or Trustee from time to time
and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order or the filing of
any proof of claim in the winding-up of the Company for a liquidated sum in respect of amounts due
hereunder (other than under paragraph (b) above) or under any such judgment or order. Any such
deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Holders or the
Trustee, as the case may be, and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the
Company or the applicable liquidator. In the case of paragraph (b) above, the amount of such
deficiency shall not be deemed to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring
between the said final date and the date of any liquidating distribution.

          (d) The term “rate(s) of exchange” shall mean the Bank of Canada noon rate for purchases on
the relevant date of the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency, as reported by Telerate on
screen 3194 (or such other means of reporting the Bank of Canada noon rate as may be agreed upon by each of the parties to this Indenture) and includes any premiums
and costs of exchange payable.

                    SECTION 114. Currency Equivalent.

          Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, for purposes of the construction of the terms
of this Indenture or of the Securities, in the event that any amount is stated herein in the
Currency of one nation (the “First Currency”), as of any date such amount shall also be deemed

16

 

to represent the amount in the Currency of any other relevant nation which is required to purchase
such amount in the First Currency at the noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable
transfers payable to such First Currency in the City of New York on the applicable issue date, as
certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

                    SECTION 115. Agent for Service; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of
Immunities.

          By the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company (i) acknowledges that it has
irrevocably designated and appointed [•] as its authorized agent upon which process may be served
in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Securities or this Indenture that may
be instituted in any United States federal or New York State court in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York or brought under federal or state securities laws or brought by the Trustee
(whether in its individual capacity or in its capacity as Trustee hereunder), (ii) submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit or proceeding, and (iii) agrees that
service of process upon [•] and written notice of said service to the Company (mailed or delivered
to the Company, Attention: General Counsel, at its principal office specified in the first
paragraph of this Indenture and in the manner specified in Section 105 hereof), shall be deemed in
every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding. The
Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and
all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and
appointment of [•] in full force and effect so long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding.

          To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of
any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its
property, the Company hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under
this Indenture and the Securities, to the extent permitted by law.

                    SECTION 116. Incorporators, Shareholders, Officers and Directors of the
Company Exempt from Individual Liability.

          No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture,
or in any Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any
incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director, as
such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor,
under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment
or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and
released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders and as part of the consideration for
the issue of the Securities.

                    SECTION 117. Waiver of Jury Trial.

          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 this Indenture, the Securities or the transactions contemplated hereby.

17

 

                    SECTION
118. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

          If and to the extent that any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties
imposed by any of Section 310 to 318, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act, through operation of
Section 318(c) thereof, such imposed duties control.

ARTICLE TWO

                    SECTION 201. Forms Generally.

          (a) The Securities of each series shall be in substantially the forms as shall be established
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or
permitted by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, and may have such letters,
numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the
Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or
as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently
herewith, be determined by the Officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution
of the Securities. If the forms of Securities of any series are established by action taken
pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified
by the General Counsel, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the
Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 303 for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities. Any portion of the text of any Security may be set

          The Trustee’s certificate of authentication on all Securities shall be in substantially the
form set forth in this Article.

          The definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any
combination of these methods on a steel-engraved border or steel-engraved borders or may be

                    SECTION
203. Securities Issuable in Global Form.

          If Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated
by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 301, any such Security shall represent
such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide
that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to
time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series
represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any
endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the
amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner
and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the
Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304. Subject to
the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and
redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the
Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order
pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions
by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form
shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion
of Counsel.

          The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security represented by
a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company
delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need
not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to
the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written
statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303.

Section 301, payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security in
permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 309 and except as provided in the preceding
paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the Trustee
shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a
permanent global Security the Holder of such permanent global Security.

          None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments

19

 

          made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

dates shall be determined, the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest shall be
payable and the Regular Record Date for the interest payable on any Security on any Interest
Payment Date, or the method by which such date or dates shall
be determined, and the basis upon which interest shall be calculated if other than on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months;

     (5) the place or places, if any, other than or in addition to The City of New York,
where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Securities of the
series shall be payable, where any Securities of the series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, where Securities of the series may be surrendered for exchange,

limitation, on one or more Currencies, commodities, equity indices or other indices),
and the manner in which such amounts shall be determined;

     (14) whether the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the

series upon the occurrence of such events as may be specified;

     (18) any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the Events of Default or

the Company with respect to Securities of the series, whether or not such Events of Default
or covenants are consistent with the Events of Default or covenants set forth herein;

     (19) whether the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole or in part in
permanent global form and, in such case, the Depositary for such Securities if other than
DTC; the manner in which and the circumstances under which interests in any such permanent
global Security may be exchanged for Securities in definitive form, if other than, or in
addition to, the manner and circumstances specified in Section 304;

     (20) the Person to whom any interest on any Security of the series shall be payable, if
other than the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is

extent to which, or the manner in which, any interest payable on a temporary global Security
on an Interest Payment Date shall be paid if other than in the manner provided in Section
304;

     (21) if Securities of the series are to be issuable in definitive form (whether upon

Additional Amounts as contemplated by Section 1005 on the Securities of the series to any
Holder who is not a United States person (including any modification to the definition of
such term) in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether the
Company shall have the option to redeem

22

 

such Securities rather than pay such Additional
Amounts (and the terms of any such option);

     (24) which, if any, of the Eligible Guarantors shall guarantee the Securities on the

Securities described in Article Fifteen, if any, a “Guarantor”) and if payment of the
Securities of the series shall be guaranteed by any other Person;

     (25) the percentage or percentages of principal amount of which the Securities of the
series shall be issued;

     (26) if the Securities of the series are to be convertible into or exercisable,

conditions to such resale and any right of a Holder to substitute securities for the

requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or the provisions of this Indenture).

          All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination
and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution (subject to Section
303) and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. Not
all Securities of any one series need be issued at the same time, and, unless otherwise provided, a
series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of such series.

          If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more
Board Resolutions, such Board Resolutions shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the
delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

                    SECTION 302. Denominations.

          The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such
denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by or pursuant to Section 301. With respect to
Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions,

23

 

           the
Securities of such series, other than Securities issued in global form (which may be of any
denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

                    SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

          The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer. The signature of
any Officer on the Securities may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any
future such authorized Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.

          Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper Officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

          At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series, executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver
such Securities. If not all of the Securities of any series are to be issued at one time and if
the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such
Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such
Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series such as interest rate,
stated maturity, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue.

          In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this
Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to
TIA Sections 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating:

     (1) that the form or forms of such Securities have been established in conformity with
the provisions of this Indenture;

     (2) that the terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture;

     (3) that such Securities when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and
delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this
Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and
issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion
of Counsel, shall constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights, to general equitable principles and to such other
qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of Holders
of such Securities;

24

 

     (4) that the Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities, and has duly
taken all necessary corporate action with respect to such issuance; and

     (5) that the issuance of such Securities shall not contravene the articles of
incorporation or by-laws of the Company or result in any violation of any of the terms or
provisions of any law or regulation.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding two paragraphs, if not all
the Securities of any series are to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the
Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion
of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs prior to or at the time of
issuance of each Security, but such documents shall be delivered prior to or at the time of
issuance of the first Security of such series.

          The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate and deliver any such Securities if the issue
of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture shall affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee.

          Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

          No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized
officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company
shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 310 together
with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for
all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and
delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

          Reference is made to Section 1505 concerning execution and delivery of the Guarantees.

                    SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.

          Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series the Company may execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed or lithographed). Temporary
Securities shall be issuable in any authorized denomination and substantially in the form of the
definitive Securities but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for
temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Security shall
be executed by the Company and shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and
in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Securities. Without
unreasonable delay the Company will

25

 

execute and deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities of
such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in
exchange therefor, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without
any charge therefor except that in case of any such exchange involving any registration of transfer
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Section 305, unless and until it is
exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, a global Security representing all
or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary for such series to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to
such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to
a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor depositary.

          If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time
the Depositary for Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in
good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall
appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor
Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after
the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and
the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive
form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the global Security or
Securities representing such series in exchange for such global Security or Securities.

          If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Securities of a series,
the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a global Security for such series of
Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such
terms as are acceptable to the Company and such depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge:

     (1) to each Person specified by the Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the global
Security; and

     (2) to the Depositary a new global Security in a denomination equal to the difference,
if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered global Security and the aggregate
principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

26

 

                    SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

          The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the
registers maintained in such Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any other office or agency
of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the
“Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Company shall provide for the registration and transfer of Securities. The Security Register shall
be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a
reasonable time. At all reasonable times, the Security Register shall be open to inspection by the
Trustee. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as security registrar (the “Security
Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided. The Company shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security
Registrar for any series of Securities; provided that, no such removal or
replacement shall be effective until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of
Securities shall have been appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment by the
Company. In the event that the Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be the Security Registrar
with respect to a series of Securities, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register
for such series at all reasonable times. There shall be only one Security Register for each series
of Securities.

          Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at any office or
agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount and tenor.

          At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other replacement
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination 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 shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

          Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.

          If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a series are to
be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global Securities, then the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the Company Order with respect to
such series, authenticate and deliver one or more global Securities in temporary or permanent form
that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more global
Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such global Security or
Securities or the nominee of such depositary, and

27

 

(iii) shall bear a legend substantially to the
following effect: “This Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a
nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of
the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of
such successor Depositary, unless and until this Security is exchanged in whole or in part for
Securities in definitive form” and such other legend as may be required by the Depositary.

          The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any
series issued in the form of one or more global Securities shall no longer be represented by such
global Security or Securities. In such event the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such
series, shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive registered form, in
authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such global Security or
Securities.

          Upon the exchange of a global Security for Securities in definitive registered form, such
global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a global
Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
denominations as the depositary for such global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct
or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall
deliver such Securities to the persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

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

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

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

          The Company shall 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 days before the
day of the selection for redemption of Securities of that series under Section 1103 or 1203 and
ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or
(ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (iii) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Security which has been surrendered for

28

 

repayment at the
option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

                    SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

          If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with, in
proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save
each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a replacement Security of the same series and
of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

          If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them 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
protected purchaser (as defined in Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code), the Company shall
execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a replacement Security of the same series and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

          Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in
its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

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

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

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

                    SECTION 307. Payment of Principal and Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Optional
Interest Reset.

          (a) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of
Securities, interest, if any, on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such

29

 

Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose
pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that each installment of the principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security may at the Company’s option be paid
by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person
entitled thereto pursuant to Section 309, to the address of such Person as it appears on the
Security Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account of the person entitled to receive such
payment if such person is a Holder of $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such series (with wire transfer instructions provided to the Trustee not less than 15
days prior to payment of interest by wire transfer); provided further, that
principal paid in relation to any Security redeemed at the option of the Company pursuant to
Article Eleven, or paid at Maturity, shall be paid to the holder of such Security only upon
presentation and surrender of such Security to such office or agency referred to in this Section
307(a).

          Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, 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 shall 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 and, if applicable, interest on such
defaulted interest (to the extent lawful) at the rate specified in the Securities of such series
(such defaulted interest and, if applicable, interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted
Interest”) may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or
(2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment,
and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the
Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as
provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less
than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the
receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor to be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefore having been so given, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose name the Securities of such series
(or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at

30

 

the close of business on such
Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

     (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest 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, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

          (b) The provisions of this Section 307(b) may be made applicable to any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified
pursuant to such Section 301). The interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to
calculate such interest rate, if applicable) on any Security of such series may be reset by the
Company on the date or dates specified on the face of such Security (each an “Optional Reset
Date”). The Company may exercise such option with respect to such Security by notifying the
Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date for
such Security. Not later than 40 days prior to each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall
transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of any such Security a notice
(the “Reset Notice”) indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest rate (or the
spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable), and if so (i)
such new interest rate (or such new spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) and (ii) the
provisions, if any, for redemption during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next
Optional Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity Date of
such Security (each such period a “Subsequent Interest Period”), including the date or dates on
which or the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such redemption may
occur during the Subsequent Interest Period.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the Optional Reset Date, the
Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to
calculate such interest rate, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish an
interest rate (or a spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if
applicable) that is higher than the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier, if
applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice, for the Subsequent Interest Period by causing the
Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate
(or such higher spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security. Such
notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the interest rate (or the spread
or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) is reset on an Optional
Reset Date, and with respect to which the Holders of such Securities have not tendered such
Securities for repayment (or have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to the next succeeding
paragraph, shall bear such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread multiplier, if
applicable).

          The Holder of any such Security shall have the option to elect repayment by the Company of the
principal of such Security on each Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount
thereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain repayment on an
Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for
repayment at the option of Holders except that the period for delivery or

31

 

notification to the
Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except
that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the
Holder may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of
business on the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.

          Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each Security delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried
by such other Security.

                    SECTION 308. Optional Extension of Stated Maturity.

          The provisions of this Section 308 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant
to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to
such Section 301). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the
option of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each an
“Extension Period”) up to but not beyond the date (the “Final Maturity”) set forth on the face of
such Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the
Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such
Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the “Original Stated Maturity”). If the
Company exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section
106, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a
notice (the “Extension Notice”) indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Stated
Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate, if any, applicable to the
Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period.
Upon the Trustee’s transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of
such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice
and as described in the next paragraph, such Security shall have the same terms as prior to the
transmittal of such Extension Notice.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity of
such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the
Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the
Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate
to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to
which the Stated Maturity is extended shall bear such higher interest rate.

          If the Company extends the Maturity of any Security, the Holder shall have the option to elect
repayment of such Security by the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the
principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the
Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Maturity thereof, the Holder must follow
the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders, except that
the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35
days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security
for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written notice to the Trustee
revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the Original
Stated Maturity.

32

 

                    SECTION 309. 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
premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Security and for
all other purposes whatsoever (other than the payment of Additional Amounts, if any), whether or
not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          The Depositary for Securities may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the owner of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever (other than
the payment of Additional Amounts, if any). None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or
the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global
form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Security, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, 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 depositary, as a Holder,
with respect to such global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial
interests in such global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of
the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such global Security.

                    SECTION 310. Cancellation.

          All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder,
registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any current or future sinking fund
payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee.
All Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall 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 shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so acquire any of the
Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with
its customary procedures and certification of their disposal
delivered to the Company unless by Company Order the Company shall direct that cancelled
Securities be returned to it.

                    SECTION 311. Computation of Interest.

33

 

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any Securities,
interest, if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months. For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), the
yearly rate of interest to which interest calculated under a Security for any period in any
calendar year (the “calculation period”) is equivalent, is the rate payable under a Security in
respect of the calculation period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in such calendar year and the denominator of which is the actual number of days in
the calculation period.

                    SECTION 312. Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities.

          (a) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, Securities of any series not
permitting the election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not made
the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on any Security of such series shall be made in the Currency in which such
Security, as the case may be, is payable. The provisions of this Section 312 may be modified or
superseded with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301.

          (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series that
Holders shall have the option, subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, to receive payments of
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Securities in any of the Currencies
which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Trustee a written election with
signature guarantees and in the applicable form established pursuant to Section 301, not later than
the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the applicable payment date. If a
Holder so elects to receive such payments in any such Currency, such election shall remain in
effect for such Holder or any transferee of such Holder until changed by such Holder or such
transferee by written notice to the Trustee (but any such change must be made not later than the
close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the next payment date to be effective
for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change of election may be made with
respect to payments to be made on any Security of such series with respect to which an Event of
Default has occurred or with respect to which the Company has deposited funds pursuant to Article
Four or Fourteen or with respect to which a notice of redemption has been given by the Company or a
notice of option to elect repayment has been sent by such Holder or such transferee). Any Holder
of any such Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee not later than
the close of business on the applicable Election Date shall be paid the amount due on the
applicable payment date in the relevant Currency as provided in Section 312(a). The Trustee shall
notify the Exchange Rate
Agent as soon as practicable after the Election Date of the aggregate principal amount of
Securities for which Holders have made such written election.

          (c) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the election referred to in
paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301, then, unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301, not later than the fourth Business Day after the Election Date for each
payment date for Securities of any series, the Exchange Rate Agent shall deliver to the Company a
written notice specifying, in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are

34

 

payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on
Securities to be paid on such payment date, specifying the amounts in such Currency so payable in
respect of the Securities as to which the Holders of Securities of such series shall have elected
to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the election referred to in
paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301 and if at least one Holder has
made such election, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, on the second
Business Day preceding such payment date the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for such series
of Securities an Exchange Rate Officers’ Certificate in respect of the Dollar or Foreign Currency
payments to be made on such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the
Dollar or Foreign Currency amount receivable by Holders of Securities who have elected payment in a
Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis of the
applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the third Business Day (the “Valuation Date”)
immediately preceding each payment date, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (d) If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency in which any of the
Securities are denominated or payable other than pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to
paragraph (b) above, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest, if any, on the applicable Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign
Currency occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency was used (the “Conversion
Date”), the Dollar shall be the Currency of payment for use on each such payment date. Unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the
Trustee and by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holders of such Securities with respect to
such payment date shall be, in the case of a Foreign Currency other than a currency unit, the
Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent
of the Currency Unit, in each case as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the manner provided
in paragraph (f) or (g) below.

          (e) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the Holder of a Security
denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in
paragraph (b) above, and a Conversion Event occurs with respect to such elected Currency, such
Holder shall receive payment in the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence
of such election; and if a Conversion Event occurs with respect to the Currency in which payment
would have been made in the absence of such election, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars
as provided in paragraph (d) above.

          (f) The “Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate
Agent and shall be obtained for each subsequent payment date by converting the specified Foreign
Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Conversion Date.

          (g) The “Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate
Agent and subject to the provisions of paragraph (h) below shall be the sum of each amount obtained
by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange
Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with respect to each payment.

35

 

          (h) For purposes of this Section 312, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

     A “Component Currency” shall mean any Currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a
component currency of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the Euro.

     A “Specified Amount” of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units of such
Component Currency or fractions thereof which were represented in the relevant currency
unit, including, but not limited to, the Euro, on the Conversion Date. If after the
Conversion Date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination
or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be divided or
multiplied in the same proportion. If after the Conversion Date two or more Component
Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such
Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single Currency equal to the sum
of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in
such single Currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single
Currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If after the Conversion Date any
Component Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of
such Component Currency shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more currencies, having
an aggregate Dollar Equivalent value at the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such
replacement equal to the Dollar Equivalent value of the Specified Amount of such former
Component Currency at the Market Exchange Rate immediately before such division and such
amounts shall thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be
Component Currencies. If, after the Conversion Date of the relevant currency unit,
including, but not limited to, the Euro, a Conversion Event (other than any event referred
to above in this definition of “Specified Amount”) occurs with respect to any Component
Currency of such currency unit and is continuing on the applicable Valuation Date, the
Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall, for purposes of calculating the Dollar
Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be converted into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate in
effect on the Conversion Date of such Component Currency.

     “Election Date” shall mean the date for any series of Securities as specified pursuant
to clause (13) of Section 301 by which the written election referred to in paragraph (b)
above may be made.

          All decisions and determinations of the Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of
the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange Rate and
changes in the Specified Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and
irrevocably binding upon the Company, the Trustee and all Holders of such Securities
denominated or payable in the relevant Currency. The Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly give
written notice to the Company and the Trustee of any such decision or determination.

          In the event that the Company determines in good faith that a Conversion Event has occurred
with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Company shall immediately give written

36

 

notice thereof to
the Trustee and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter give notice
in the manner provided for in Section 106 to the affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date.
In the event the Company so determines that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect to the
Euro or any other currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the Company shall
immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and the
Trustee shall promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided for in Section 106 to the
affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of each Component
Currency on the Conversion Date. In the event the Company determines in good faith that any
subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in the definition of Specified Amount
above has occurred, the Company shall similarly give written notice to the Trustee and the Exchange
Rate Agent.

          The Trustee shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information
received by it from the Company and the Exchange Rate Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty
or obligation to determine the accuracy or validity of such information independent of the Company
or the Exchange Rate Agent.

          SECTION 313. Appointment and Resignation of Successor Exchange Rate Agent.

          (a) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of
any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency,
or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company shall
maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one Exchange
Rate Agent. The Company shall cause the Exchange Rate Agent to make the necessary foreign exchange
determinations at the time and in the manner specified pursuant to Section 301 for the purpose of
determining the applicable rate of exchange and, if applicable, for the purpose of converting the
issued Foreign Currency into the applicable payment Currency for the payment of principal (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, pursuant to Section 312.

          (b) No resignation of the Exchange Rate Agent and no appointment of a successor Exchange Rate
Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Exchange Rate Agent as evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Company and the
Trustee.

          (c) The Company shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Exchange Rate
Agent for any series of Securities. If the Exchange Rate Agent shall resign, be removed or become
incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Exchange Rate Agent for any
cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Exchange Rate Agent or
Exchange Rate Agents with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood
that any such successor Exchange Rate Agent may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one
or more or all of such series and that, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, at any
time there shall only be one Exchange Rate Agent with respect to the Securities of any particular
series that are originally issued by the Company on the same date and that are initially
denominated and/or payable in the same Currency).

37

 

                    SECTION 314. CUSIP Numbers.

          The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and,
if so, the Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of the Securities in notices of redemption as
a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is
made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in
any notice of 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 shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in “CUSIP”
numbers.

ARTICLE FOUR

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

                    SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

          Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of
Securities, this Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to
any series of Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly provided for herein or
pursuant hereto and any right to receive Additional Amounts as contemplated by Section 1005) and
the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series when

     (1) either

     (A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (i) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen
and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, and (ii) Securities
of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with
the Trustee or any Paying Agent or segregated and held in trust by the Company and
thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in
Section 1003), have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

     (B) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation

     (i) have become due and payable, or

     (ii) shall become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one
year, or

     (iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be 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,

38

 

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited
or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose
an amount in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable,
sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium,
if any) and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities
which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as
the case may be;

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

     (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with.

          Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the
Company to the Trustee under Section 606, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating
Agent under Section 611 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and
the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

                    SECTION 402. Application of Trust Money.

          Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, for
whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

ARTICLE FIVE

REMEDIES

                    SECTION 501. Events of Default.

          “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, whether or not it shall
be occasioned by the provisions of Article Sixteen, and whether it shall 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), unless such
event is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to a supplemental indenture, Board
Resolution or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of such series pursuant to Section 301
of this Indenture:

39

 

     (1) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that series when such
interest becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period specified in
the applicable supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate
establishing the terms of such series pursuant to Section 301 of this Indenture; or

     (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of
that series at its Maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; provided,
however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in accordance
with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the
payment of principal or premium, if any; or

     (3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of
the Securities of that series and Article Twelve; or

     (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company
or any Guarantor in this Indenture which affects or is applicable to the Securities of that
series or any related Guarantee (other than a default in the performance, or breach, of a
covenant or agreement which is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section 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

     (7) (A) there shall have occurred a default by the Company in the payment of the

supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of
such series pursuant to Section 301 of this Indenture or more outstanding under or evidenced
by any single indenture or instrument, when the same becomes due and payable at the stated
maturity thereof, and such default shall have continued after any applicable grace period
and shall not have been cured or waived or (B) Debt of the Company in an amount to be
specified in the applicable supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or Officers’
Certificate establishing the terms of such series pursuant to Section 301 of this Indenture
or more outstanding under or evidenced by any single indenture or instrument shall have been
accelerated or otherwise declared due and payable, or required to be prepaid or repurchased
(other than by regularly scheduled required prepayment), prior to the stated maturity
thereof; or

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

                    SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

          If an Event of Default described in clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (7) or (8) of Section 501 with
respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every
such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series
are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal amount
as may be specified in the terms of that series) 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 amount (or specified
portion thereof) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in
clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 occurs, the principal amount (or if any Securities are Original
Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms thereof) of all Outstanding Securities shall be due and payable immediately,
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.

          At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series (or
of all series, as the case may be) has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series (or of all series, as
the case may be), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if

     (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the
Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise

41

 

specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as
provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)),

     (A) all overdue interest, if any, on all Outstanding Securities of that series
(or of all series, as the case may be),

     (B) all unpaid principal of (and premium, if any) any Outstanding Securities of
that series (or of all series, as the case may be) which has become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest on such unpaid principal at
the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue
interest, if any, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

     (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel; and

     (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series (or of all series,
as the case may be), other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if
any, on) or interest on Securities of that series (or of all series, as the case may be)
which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived
as provided in Section 513.

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

          Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in
respect of the Securities because of an Event of Default specified in Section 501(7) shall have
occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the
Debt that is the subject of such Event of Default has been
discharged or the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect
of such Debt, and written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have
been given to the Trustee by the Company and countersigned by the holders of such Debt or a
trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration
in respect of the Securities, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30 day period
which has not been cured or waived during such period.

                    SECTION 503. Collection of Debt and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

          The Company covenants that if

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

42

 

     (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security at the Maturity thereof,

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

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

          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series (or of all series, as the case
may be) 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 (or of all series, as the
case may be) by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce
any other proper remedy.

                    SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

          In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other
obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue
principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise,

     (1) to file a proof of claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any),
or such portion of the principal amount of any series of Original Issue Discount Securities
or Indexed Securities as may be specified in the terms of such series, and interest, if any,
owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

43

 

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 606.

          Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

                    SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

                    SECTION
506. Application of Money Collected.

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

     First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 606;

     Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, 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
premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and

     Third: The balance, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons
entitled thereto.

                    SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits.

44

 

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

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

     (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series in the case of any Event of Default described in clause (1), (2), (3), (4),
(7) or (8) of Section 501, or, in the case of any Event of Default described in clause (5)
or (6) of Section 501, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all
Outstanding Securities, shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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

     (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority or more in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series in the case of any Event of Default described in
clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (7) or (8) of Section 501, or, in the case of any Event
of Default described in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501, by the Holders of a majority
or more in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other Holders of Securities of the same series, in the case of any
Event of Default, described in clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (7) or (8) of Section 501, or of Holders
of all Securities in the case of any Event of Default described in clause (5) or (6) of Section
501, 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 Holders of Securities of the same series, in the case of any Event of
Default described in clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (7) or (8) of Section 501, or, in the case of any
Event of Default described in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501.

          SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein (including,
if applicable, Article Fourteen) and in such Security, of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on, such Security on the Stated Maturity expressed
in such Security or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and

45

 

to institute suit for
the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of
such Holder.

                    SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

          If the Trustee or any Holder 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 of Securities shall
be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all
rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had
been instituted.

                    SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

          Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

                    SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

                    SECTION 512. Control by Holders.

          With respect to the Securities of any series, the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, relating to or arising under clause (1),
(2), (3), (4), (7) or (8) of Section 501, and, with respect to all Securities, the Holders of not
less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities shall have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, not relating to or arising
under clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (7) or (8) of Section 501, provided that in each case:

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

46

 

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

     (3) the Trustee need not take any action which might expose the Trustee to personal
liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not
consenting.

                    SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

          Subject to Section 502, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such
series waive any past default described in clause (1), (2), (3), (4), (7) or (8) of Section 501 (or
in the case of a default described in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501, the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities may waive any such past
default), and its consequences, except a default

     (1) in respect of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if
any, on any Security, or

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

          Upon any such waiver, any such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

                    SECTION 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

                    SECTION 515. Undertaking for Costs.

          In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require
any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may
assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust
Indenture Act; provided, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to
authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit
instituted by the Company.

ARTICLE SIX

THE TRUSTEE

                    SECTION 601. Notice of Defaults.

          Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default hereunder with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section
313(c), notice of such Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been
cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such
series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series,
the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors,
the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Holders of Securities of such series; and provided further that in the case of any
Default of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no
such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.

                    SECTION 602. Certain Rights of Trustee.

          Subject to the provisions of TIA Sections 315(a) through 315(d):

     (1) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or
other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties;

     (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other than delivery of any Security, to the
Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 303 which shall be sufficiently
evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

     (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may,
in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a Board Resolution, an Opinion of Counsel
or an Officers’ Certificate;

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

     (5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of
Securities

48

 

of any series pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered
to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction;

     (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or
other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry
or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall
determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

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

     (8) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Indenture; and

     (9) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of any series unless either (1) such Default or Event of
Default is known, or ought reasonably to have been known, by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to
the Trustee by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of any series or by any
Holder of the Securities of any series.

          The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds
or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

                    SECTION 603. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of
Securities.

          The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except for the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver
this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the
statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true
and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any

49

 

Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities
or the proceeds thereof.

                    SECTION 604. May Hold Securities.

          The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act,
may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent. A Trustee that has
resigned or was removed shall remain subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

                    SECTION 605. Money Held in Trust.

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

                    SECTION 606. Compensation and Reimbursement.

          The Company agrees:

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

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

     (3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

          The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee, to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances and to indemnify and hold harmless
the Trustee shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture. As security for the performance of such obligations of the
Company, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or
collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest, if any, on particular Securities.

50

 

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501, the expenses (including reasonable charges and
expense of its counsel) of and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under any applicable U.S. or Canadian federal, state or provincial
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

          The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee.

                    SECTION 607. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting
Interests.

          (a) There shall be at all times a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee
under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital and surplus (together with that of
its parent, if applicable) of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial
or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section,
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

          (b) The following indenture shall be deemed to be specifically described herein for the
purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in TIA Section 310(b): Subordinated Debt
Securities Indenture dated as of                , between the Company and the trustee
named therein.

                    SECTION 608. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

          (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609.

          (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 609 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee 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 not less than a majority in principal amount 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 609 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30
days after the delivery of an Act of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series.

51

 

          (d) If at any time:

     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after
written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of
a Security for at least six months, or

     (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607(a) and shall fail to
resign 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, or

     (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, may remove the
Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities or the Securities of such
series, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), 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 of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

          (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood
that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or
all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment
in the manner hereinafter provided, 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,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series.

          (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series to the Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided for
in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

52

 

                    SECTION 609. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

          (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1)
shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to
vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring
Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be
trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent
provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates. Whenever there is a successor Trustee with respect
to one or more (but less than all) series of securities issued pursuant to this Indenture, the
terms “Indenture” and “Securities” shall have the meanings specified in the provisos to the
respective definitions of those terms in Section 101 which contemplate such situation.

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

53

 

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

                    SECTION 610. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

          Any 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 shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided
such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In
case any Securities 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. In case any of the Securities
shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any successor Trustee may
authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the
successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which
this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee; provided,
however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor
Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to
its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

                    SECTION 611. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

          At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an
Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series
and the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the
series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve, in the manner provided for in
Section 106. Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and
shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any
such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever
reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee
or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent 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, 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 corporation 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, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most

54

 

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, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this
Section.

          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 shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.

          An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee
and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which
such Authenticating Agent shall serve, in the manner provided for in Section 106. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the
rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this
Section.

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

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

          Dated:                                         

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

to time by the Commission.

          Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee are for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

     (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium, if any) or any
installment of principal of or interest on any Security of such series, or reduce the
principal amount thereof (or premium, if any) or the rate of interest, if any, thereon, or

Security of such series, or change any Place of Payment where, or the Currency in which, any
Security of such series or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity

the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be), or adversely affect any
right to convert or exchange any Security as may be provided pursuant to Section 301 herein;

Indenture which affect such series cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series; or

     (4) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture relating to the subordination of
Securities in a manner adverse to the Holders.

          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, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. Any such
supplemental indenture adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Indenture, or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of
such series, shall not affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any
other series.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date
is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons,
shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become
effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90
days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without
further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

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

                    SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

          In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be provided with, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental
indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

                    SECTION 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

          Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be
modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this
Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated
and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

                    SECTION 905. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.

61

 

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

                    SECTION 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

          Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in
form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the
Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by
the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities
of such series.

                    SECTION 907. Notice of Supplemental Indentures.

          Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of Section 902, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders of
each Outstanding Security affected, in the manner provided for in Section 106, setting forth in
general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture.

ARTICLE TEN

COVENANTS

                    SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest.

          The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities
that it shall duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

                    SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

          The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or
agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where
Securities of that series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or
exchange, as applicable and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served.

          The Company shall 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
of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agents to receive such respective
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

62

 

          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 any such designation; provided, however, that no
such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to
maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of
any series for such purposes. The Company shall 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. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities as contemplated by Section 301
with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for
each series of Securities the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in
such city and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

          Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, if and so
long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be
payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of the
Indenture, then the Company shall maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so
required, at least one Exchange Rate Agent.

                    SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

          If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of
Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the Currency in which the Securities of such
series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of
such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e))
sufficient to pay the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on Securities of such
series so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

          Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it
shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on
any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the Currency described in the
preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, so
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee)
the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

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

63

 

     (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided;

     (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon
the Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series; and

     (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of
the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

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

          Except as provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or
any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any), or interest, if any, on any Security of any series, and remaining unclaimed for
two years (or such shorter period as may be specified in the applicable abandoned property
statutes) after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust;
and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to
the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect
to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an
Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

                    SECTION 1004. Statement as to Compliance.

          The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a
brief certificate from the principal executive officer(s), principal financial officer(s) or
principal accounting officer(s) as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all
conditions and covenants under this Indenture. For purposes of this Section 1004, such compliance
shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this
Indenture.

                    SECTION 1005. Additional Amounts.

64

 

          If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company shall
pay to the Holder of a Security of such series Additional Amounts as may be specified as
contemplated by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of any series
or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention
shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of
such series established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in such context, Additional
Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention
of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is
not made.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the Securities of a series
provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment
Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series shall not bear
interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made),
and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal, premium or interest if there has
been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate,
the Company shall furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if
other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent
or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal, premium or interest on the Securities of that
series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series without withholding for or on account
of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of the series. If
any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country
the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that
series and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts
required by the terms of such Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as
the case may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or such
Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no such withholding or deduction is required with
respect to any payment of principal or interest with respect to any Securities of a series until it
shall have received a certificate advising otherwise and (ii) to make all payments of principal and
interest with respect to the Securities of a series without withholding or deductions until
otherwise advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to
hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence
or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of
them in reliance on any Officers’
Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or in reliance on the Company’s not furnishing
such an Officers’ Certificate.

                    SECTION 1006. Corporate Existence.

          Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the rights (charter and
statutory) and franchises of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall
not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries as a whole.

65

 

                    SECTION 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

          The Company may, with respect to any series of Securities, omit in any particular instance to
comply with any term, provision or condition which affects such series set forth in Section 1006
or, as specified pursuant to Section 301(17) for Securities of such series, in any covenants of the
Company added to Article Ten pursuant to Section 301(15) or Section 301(17) in connection with
Securities of such series, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of any series, by Act of such Holders,
waive such compliance in such instance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver
shall 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 to Holders of Securities of such series in respect of any such term,
provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

                    SECTION 1008. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.

          If any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, then the Company shall file with the
Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of
original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding
Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specified 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.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

                    SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article.

          Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable
in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

                    SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

          The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at
least 60 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
amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and shall deliver to the Trustee such
documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed
pursuant to Section 1103. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of
any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction.

                    SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

66

 

          If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to
be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee,
from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of portions of the principal of Securities of such series; provided,
however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount
of a Security not redeemed to less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such
series established pursuant to Section 301.

          The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than
itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

          For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to
be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or
is to be redeemed.

                    SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, notice of redemption shall be
given in the manner provided for in Section 106 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. Failure
to give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the Holder of any Securities
designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder,
shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or
portion thereof.

          Any notice that is mailed to the Holders in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice.

          All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date;

     (2) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest to the Redemption Date
payable as provided in Section 1106, if any;

     (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the
particular Securities to be redeemed;

     (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to
such Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such
Security, the Holder shall receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of
authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed;

67

 

     (5) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to
the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106 shall become due and payable upon
each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest
thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

     (6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, if any, maturing after the
Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest, if any;

     (7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.

          Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be
given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company.

                    SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

          On or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the Currency
in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as
provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and
accrued interest, if any, on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

                    SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

          Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified in the
Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant
to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections
312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and
from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price
and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to
bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice
maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption
Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided,
however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior
to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

          If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the
Redemption Date at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities) set forth in such Security.

                    SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

68

 

          Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article
or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or
the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered. However, if less than all of the Securities of any series with
differing issue dates, interest rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its
sole discretion shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed and shall notify the Trustee
in writing thereof at least 45 days prior to the relevant redemption date.

ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUNDS

                    SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.

          Retirements of Securities of any series pursuant to any sinking fund shall be made in
accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

          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
cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any
series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

                    SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

          Subject to Section 1203, in lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund
payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (1)
deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for
redemption) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, and/or (2) receive credit
for the principal amount of Securities of such series which have been previously delivered to the
Trustee by the Company or for Securities of such 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 mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the
Securities of the same series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as
provided for by the terms of such series; provided, however, that such Securities
have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such
purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for

69

 

redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly.

                    SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

          Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ 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, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the
Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant
to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections
312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering
or crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202 (which Securities shall, if not
previously delivered, accompany such certificate) and whether the Company intends to exercise its
right to make a permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Such
certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the
cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund
payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such certificate, the sinking
fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for that series shall be paid
entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Securities subject
to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Securities as provided
in Section 1202 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment, if any, with
respect to such series.

          Not more than 60 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section
1103 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 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
1106 and 1107.

          Prior to any sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or a Paying Agent
(or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 1003) in cash a sum equal to any interest that shall accrue to the date fixed for
redemption of Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date
pursuant to this Section 1203.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a sinking fund for any series of Securities, if
at any time the amount of cash to be paid into such sinking fund on the next succeeding sinking
fund payment date, together with any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payment or
payments for such series, does not exceed in the aggregate $100,000, the Trustee, unless requested
by the Company, shall not give the next succeeding notice of the redemption of Securities of such
series through the operation of the sinking fund. Any such unused balance of moneys deposited in
such sinking fund shall be added to the sinking fund payment for such series to be made in cash on
the next succeeding sinking fund payment date or, at the request of the Company, shall be applied
at any time or from time to time to the purchase of Securities of such series, by public or private
purchase, in the open market or otherwise, at a

70

 

purchase price for such Securities (excluding
accrued interest and brokerage commissions, for which the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be
reimbursed by the Company) not in excess of the principal amount thereof.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

REPAYMENT AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

                    SECTION 1301. Applicability of Article.

          Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders
thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this
Article.

                    SECTION 1302. Repayment of Securities.

          Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders
thereof shall, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at the
Repayment Price thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date
specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or before
the Repayment Date it shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is
acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount
of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as
provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay the Repayment Price of and
(except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest, if any, on, all
the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.

                    SECTION 1303. Exercise of Option.

          Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall
contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid at the
option of the Holder, any Security so providing for such repayment, with the “Option to Elect
Repayment” form on the reverse of such Security duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing), must be received by the Company at the Place of Payment
therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places or which the
Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 45 days nor
later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the Repayment Price of such Security
is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the portion of the Repayment Price
of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such
series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the
Holder for the portion of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified.
Any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part
if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal
amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities

71

 

of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided
by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise
of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company.

                    SECTION 1304. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and
Payable.

          If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall
have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of
such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall
become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified,
and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease
to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such
provisions maturing after the Repayment Date, the Repayment Price of such Security so to be repaid
shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date;
provided, however, that installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

          If any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, the
Repayment Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest or
Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) set forth in such Security.

                    SECTION 1305. Securities Repaid in Part.

          Upon surrender of any Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service
charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in
exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be
repaid.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

                    SECTION 1401. Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, the
provisions of this Article Fourteen shall apply to each series of Securities, and the Company may,
at its option, effect defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1402, or
covenant defeasance of or within a series under Section 1403 in accordance with the terms of such
Securities and in accordance with this Article.

72

 

                    SECTION 1402. Defeasance and Discharge.

          Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any
Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its
obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth in
Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means
that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by
such Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the
purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (A) and (B) below,
and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as
such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to
receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such
Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on
such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such
Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the payment of
Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 1005, (C) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article Fourteen.
Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Company may exercise its option under this
Section 1402 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403 with respect to
such Securities. Money and securities held in trust pursuant to this Section 1402 shall not be
subject to Article Sixteen.

                    SECTION 1403. Covenant Defeasance.

          Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any
Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Article
Eight, Section 1006 and any covenant specified pursuant to Section 301, its obligations under any
other covenant, with respect to such Outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions
set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities
shall thereafter be deemed not to be “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with
such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder.
For this purpose, such covenant defeasance
means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company may omit to comply with
and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
covenant or by reason of reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 501(4) or Section 501(8) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

                    SECTION 1404. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

73

 

          The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1402 or Section 1403 to
any Outstanding Securities of or within a series:

     (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to
comply with the provisions of this Article Fourteen applicable to it) as trust funds in
trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security
for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A) an amount
(in such Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated
Maturity), or (B) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities (determined on the
basis of the Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated
Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof
in accordance with their terms shall provide, not later than one day before the due date of
any payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, under such
Securities, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of
a nationally recognized firm of independent chartered accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be
applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities and on the
Stated Maturity (or Redemption Date, if applicable) of such principal (and premium, if any)
or installment of principal or interest, if any, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund
payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which
such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such
Securities; provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to
apply such money or the proceeds of such Government Obligations to said payments with
respect to such Securities. Before such a deposit, the Company may give to the Trustee, in
accordance with Section 1102 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all or any portion
of such Outstanding Securities at a future date in accordance with the terms of the
Securities of such series and Article Eleven hereof, which notice shall be irrevocable.
Such irrevocable redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the
foregoing.

     (2) No Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred
and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as clauses (5) and (6) of Section
501 are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after
the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
satisfied until the expiration of such period).

     (3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

     (4) In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States stating that (x) the Company has
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y)
since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable
U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and

74

 

based thereon such
opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities shall not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and
shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

     (5) In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States to the effect that the Holders of
such Outstanding Securities shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income
tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. 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.

     (6) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance or covenant
defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms,
conditions or limitations in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

     (7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to
either the defeasance under Section 1402 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1403 (as
the case may be) have been complied with.

     (8) Either the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in Canada or
a ruling from Canada Customs and Revenue Agency to the effect that the Holders of such
Outstanding Securities shall not recognize income, gain or loss for Canadian federal,
provincial or territorial income tax or other tax purpose as a result of such defeasance or
covenant defeasance, as the case may be, and shall be subject to Canadian federal or
provincial income tax and other tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case had such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case
may be, not occurred (and for the purposes of such opinion, such Canadian counsel shall
assume that Holders of the Securities include Holders who are not resident in Canada).

                    SECTION 1405. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

          Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government
Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this
Section 1405, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of such Outstanding Securities
shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such
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 Holders
of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium,
if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

75

 

          Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 301, if, after a
deposit referred to in Section 1404(1) has been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of
which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 312(b) or the terms
of such Security to receive payment in a Currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 1404(1) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs as
contemplated in Section 312(d) or 312(e) or by the terms of any Security in respect of which the
deposit pursuant to Section 1404(1) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security
shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Security as they become due
out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any
such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the Currency
in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on
the applicable Market Exchange Rate for such Currency in effect on the third Business Day prior to
each payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such Currency in effect (as
nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.

          The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1404 or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge
which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities.

          Anything in this Article Fourteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver
or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations
(or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1404 which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would
then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance, as
applicable, in accordance with this Article Fourteen.

                    SECTION 1406. Reinstatement.

          If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section
1405 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 such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 1402 or 1403, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 1405; provided,
however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on any such Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from
the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

76

 

ARTICLE FIFTEEN

GUARANTEES

                    SECTION 1501. Applicability of Article.

          The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to each of the Guarantors for the Guarantee
of Securities of a series.

                    SECTION 1502. Guarantee.

          Each Guarantor of a particular series of Securities hereby unconditionally guarantees (each
such guarantee to be referred to herein as a “Guarantee”), jointly and severally with each other
Guarantor of the Securities of that series, if any, to each Holder of such Securities authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the
validity and enforceability of this Indenture, such Securities or the obligations of the Company
hereunder or thereunder, (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium or
interest on such Securities, whether at maturity or on an interest payment date, by acceleration,
pursuant to an offer to purchase such Securities or otherwise, and interest on the overdue
principal of and interest, if any, on such Securities, if lawful, and all other obligations of the
Company to the Holders of such Securities or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly
paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof including all amounts payable to
the Trustee under Section 606 hereof, and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or
renewal of any such Securities or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in
full when due or to be performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

          If the Company fails to make any payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever
reason, the Guarantor of the Securities of that series shall be obligated, jointly and severally
with each other Guarantor, if any, to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that
its obligations hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and
shall be unaffected by, the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities, this
Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of
the Securities or the Trustee with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery
of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor. Each
Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand of performance, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Company, the benefit of discussion, protest, notice and all demand
whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance
of the obligations contained in the Securities guaranteed by such Guarantee, in this Indenture and
in this Article Fifteen. If any Holder of Securities of a series guaranteed hereby or the Trustee
is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor of such Securities,
or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company
or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor of such Securities to the Trustee
or such Holder, this Article Fifteen, to the extent theretofore discharged with respect to any
Guarantee of such Securities, shall be reinstated in full

77

 

force and effect. Each Guarantor agrees
that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders of Securities
of a series guaranteed hereby by such Guarantor in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby by
such Guarantee until payment in full of all such obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that,
as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders of Securities of a series guaranteed
hereby by such Guarantor and the Trustee on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations
guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of such
Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration
in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (ii) in the event of any acceleration of such
obligations as provided in Article Five hereof such obligations (whether or not due and payable)
shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor, jointly and severally with any other
Guarantor of such Securities, for the purpose of this Article Fifteen. In addition, without
limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness of an acceleration under Article Five, the Trustee
may make a demand for payment on the Securities under any Guarantee provided hereunder and not
discharged.

          With respect to each Guarantee by a Guarantor, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to all
rights of the Holder of any Securities guaranteed hereby by such Guarantee against the Company in
respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by such Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of such
Guarantee; provided that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments
arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and interest on all
such Securities shall have been paid in full.

          The Guarantee set forth in this Section 1502 shall not be valid or become obligatory for any
purpose with respect to a Security until the certificate of authentication on such Security shall
have been signed by the Trustee or any duly appointed agent.

                    SECTION 1503. Obligations of the Guarantor Unconditional.

          Nothing contained in this Article Fifteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any Security is
intended to or shall impair, as between a Guarantor and the Holders of the Securities guaranteed by
such Guarantor’s Guarantee, the obligations of such Guarantor, which are absolute
and unconditional, to pay to such Holders the principal of and interest as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with the provisions of this Guarantee or is intended to
or shall affect the relative rights of such Holders and creditors of such Guarantor, nor shall
anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or such Holder from exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon Default under this Indenture in respect of cash,
property or securities of such Guarantor received upon the exercise of any such remedy;

          Upon any distribution of assets of a Guarantor referred to in this Article Fifteen, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 602 and 603, and the Holders of the Securities
guaranteed hereby by such Guarantor shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any
court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or
other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to such Holders, for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of other
indebtedness of such Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Fifteen.

78

 

                    SECTION 1504. Article Not to Prevent Events of Default.

          The failure to make a payment on account of principal or interest on the Securities of any
series by reason of any provision in this Article Fifteen shall not be construed as preventing the
occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 501.

                    SECTION 1505. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

          To evidence a Guarantee set forth in this Article Fifteen, the Guarantor hereby agrees that
the guarantee notation, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Guarantee Notation”),
shall be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee that is guaranteed by
such Guarantee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its
Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents.

          Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse the Guarantee Notation on each such Security.

          If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Securities guaranteed hereby no
longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which a notation of
the Guarantee is endorsed, such Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

          The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of each Guarantee thereof

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

79

 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of
the day and year first above written.

RELATING TO GUARANTEE]

GUARANTEE

          [Name of Guarantor] (hereinafter referred to as the “Guarantor”, which term includes any
successor person under the Indenture (the “Indenture”) referred to in the Security upon which this
notation is endorsed) (the “Endorsed Security”), has unconditionally guaranteed (i) the due and
punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Endorsed Security and
all other Securities of the same series as the Endorsed Security (the “Guaranteed Securities”),
whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the
overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Guaranteed Securities, to the
extent lawful, and the due and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Company to the
Holders of Guaranteed Securities or the Trustee all in accordance with the terms set forth in
Article Fifteen of the Indenture and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of
any Guaranteed Securities or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in
full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

          The obligations of the Guarantor to the Holders of Guaranteed Securities and to the Trustee
pursuant to the Guarantee evidenced hereby and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article
Fifteen of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to such Indenture for the terms of such
Guarantee.

          No stockholder, officer, director or incorporator, as such, past, present or future, of the
Guarantor shall have any personal liability under the Guarantee evidenced hereby by reason of his
or its status as such stockholder, officer, director or incorporator.

          The Guarantee evidenced hereby shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the
certificate of authentication of the Guaranteed Securities shall have been executed by the Trustee
under the Indenture by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers.
