THE SECURITIES

     Section 2.01
Issuable in Series. The aggregate principal amount of Securities that may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Securities may be issued in one
or more Series. All Securities of a Series shall be identical except as may be set forth or
determined in the manner provided in a Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’
Certificate detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant to authority granted under a Board
Resolution. In the case of Securities of a Series to be issued from time to time, the Board
Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture detailing the adoption of the terms
thereof pursuant to authority granted under a Board Resolution may provide for the method by which
specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record date or date from which interest
shall accrue) are to be determined. Securities may differ between Series in respect of any matters,
provided that all Series of Securities shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the
Indenture.

     Section 2.02 Establishment of Terms of Series of Securities. At or prior to the
issuance of any Securities within a Series, the following shall be established (as to the Series
generally, in the case of Subsection 2.02(a) and either as to such Securities within the Series or
as to the Series generally in the case of Subsections 2.02(b) through 2.02(r)) by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution, and set forth or determined in the manner provided in a Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate:

          (a) the form and title of the Series (which shall distinguish the Securities of that
particular Series from the Securities of any other Series);

          (b) the price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof) at which
the Securities of the Series will be issued;

          (c) any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the Series which may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (except for Securities authenticated and delivered
upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of the Series
pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.11, 3.06 or 9.06);

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

6

 

          (e) the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) per annum or, if applicable, the method
used to determine such rate or rates (including, but not limited to, any commodity, commodity
index, stock exchange index or financial index) at which the Securities of the Series shall bear
interest, if any, the date or dates from which such interest, if any, shall accrue, the date or
dates on which such interest, if any, shall commence and be payable and any regular record date for
the interest payable on any interest payment date;

          (f) the place or places where the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of the
Series shall be payable, where the Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be served, and the method of such payment, if by
wire transfer, mail or other means;

          (g) if applicable, the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the
terms and conditions upon which the Securities of the Series may be redeemed, in whole or in part,
at the option of the Company;

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

          (i) the dates, if any, on which and the price or prices at which the Securities of the Series
will be repurchased by the Company at the option of the Holders thereof and other detailed terms
and provisions of such repurchase obligations;

          (j) if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, the denominations
in which the Securities of the Series shall be issuable;

          (k) if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of the
Securities of the Series that shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity
thereof pursuant to Section 6.02;

          (l) the provisions, if any, relating to any security provided for the Securities of the
Series;

          (m) any addition to or change in the Events of Default which applies to any Securities of the
Series and any change in the right of the Trustee or the requisite Holders of such Securities to
declare the principal amount thereof due and payable pursuant to Section 6.02;

          (n) any addition to or change in the covenants set forth in Articles IV or V which applies to
Securities of the Series;

          (o) the provisions, if any, relating to conversion of any Securities of such Series,
including, if applicable, the securities into which the Securities are convertible, the conversion
price, the conversion period, provisions as to whether conversion will be mandatory, at the option
of the Holders or at the option of the Company, the events requiring an adjustment

7

 

of the conversion price and provisions affecting conversion if such Series of Securities are
redeemed;

          (p) whether the Securities of such Series will be senior debt securities or subordinated debt
securities and, if applicable, a description of the subordination terms thereof;

          (q) any depositaries, interest rate calculation agents or other agents with respect to
Securities of such Series if other than those appointed herein; and

          (r) any other terms of the Securities of the Series (which may modify or delete any provision
of this Indenture insofar as it applies to such Series).

     All Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from
time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the
Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate referred to above, and,
unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, a Series may be reopened, without the consent
of the Holders, for increases in the aggregate principal amount of such Series and issuances of
additional Securities of such Series.

     Section 2.03 Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the
Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer
holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be
valid. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or
an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been
authenticated under this Indenture. The Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time,
authenticate Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board
Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the Trustee of
a Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or
electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral
instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or
an Officers’ Certificate. The aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding
at any time may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in
the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.02 or 2.08. Prior to the issuance of Securities of
any Series, the Trustee shall have received and (subject to Section 7.02) shall be fully protected
in relying on: (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate
establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series and the
terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’
Certificate complying with Section 10.04 and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section
10.04. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of
such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not be
taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee’s by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee
or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine in good faith that such
action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of
Securities. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to
authenticate Securities. An authenticating

8

 

agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this
Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating
agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

     Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain, with respect to
each Series of Securities, at the place or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to
Section 2.02, an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered
for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may be surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of such Series and this Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The
Registrar shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer and
exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address, and
any change in the name or address, of each Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time
the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more
co-registrars, additional paying agents or additional service agents and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any
manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service
Agent in each place so specified pursuant to Section 2.02 for Securities of any Series for such
purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar, additional paying
agent or additional service agent. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying
Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional
service agent. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and
Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent, as the case
may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that Series are first issued.

     Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying
Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the
benefit of Holders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent
for the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will notify the
Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues,
the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at
any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over
to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall
have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as
Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of
any Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent.

     Section 2.06 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably
practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of each
Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is

9

 

not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least ten (10) days before each
interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such
form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of
Holders of each Series of Securities.

     Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. Where Securities of a Series are presented to the
Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal
principal amount of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or
make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of
transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.06
or 9.06). Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the
transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of
business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of
that Series selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing,
or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being
called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Securities selected,
called or being called for redemption in part.

     Section 2.08 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

          (a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a new Security of
the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in
the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate
and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new
Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing
a new Security, pay such Security.

          (b) Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith. Every new Security of any Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that Series duly issued hereunder. The
provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful)

10

 

all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

     Section 2.09 Outstanding Securities. The Securities outstanding at any time are all the
Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation, those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. If a
Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding until the Trustee
receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. If
the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the
Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such Securities
payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities of the Series cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. A Security does not cease to be outstanding
because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security. In determining whether the
Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount
Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of the
principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon a
declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02.

     Section 2.10 Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the
required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company
shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be
protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or
waiver, only Securities of a Series that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

     Section 2.11 Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a
Company Order. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but
may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon request shall authenticate
definitive Securities of the same Series and date of maturity in exchange for temporary Securities.
Until so exchanged, temporary securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the
definitive Securities.

     Section 2.12 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation
in accordance with its customary procedures and deliver such canceled Securities to the Company,
unless the Company otherwise directs; provided that the Trustee shall not be required to destroy
Securities. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series
of Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any

11

 

interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Holders of the Series on a
subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the record date and payment date. At least
ten (10) days before the record date, the Company shall mail to the Trustee and to each Holder of
the Series a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be
paid. The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.

     
Section 2.14 Global Securities

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

          (b) Transfer and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in
Section 2.07 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security shall be exchangeable
pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture for Securities registered in the names of Holders other
than the Depository for such Security or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if at
any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in
either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository registered as a clearing agency
under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable
or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security
shall have happened and be continuing. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depository
shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
Global Security with like tenor and terms.

          (c) Except as provided in this Section 2.14(c), a Global Security may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depository with respect to such Global Security to a nominee of such
Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such
Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such
a successor Depository.

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

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

12

 

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

          (f) Payments. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.02, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any
Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.

          (g) Consents, Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14(f), the Company,
the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such principal amount of
outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a Global Security as shall be specified in a
written statement of the Depository with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining
any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to
this Indenture.

          (h) The Depository or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the
Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture and the Securities, and owners
of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable
Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security will be shown
only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by
the Depositary or its nominee and such owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not
be considered the owners or holders thereof.

     Section 2.15 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption
as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made
as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any
notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification
printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in “CUSIP”
numbers of which the Company becomes aware.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

     Section 3.01 Notice to Trustee. The Company may, with respect to any Series of
Securities, reserve the right to redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem
and pay the Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such
time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series of Securities is redeemable
and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of
the Series of Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of
the redemption date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed.

     Section 3.02 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. Unless otherwise indicated for a
particular Series by a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if
less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the
Securities

13

 

of the Series to be redeemed in any manner that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The
Trustee shall make the selection from Securities of the Series outstanding not previously called
for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of
the Series that have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions of
them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with respect to
Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to Section 2.02(j), the minimum
principal denomination for each Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture
that apply to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities of
that Series called for redemption.

     Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

          (a) Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder
whose Securities are to be redeemed and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one
occasion a notice in an Authorized Newspaper. The notice shall identify the Securities of the
Series to be redeemed and shall state:

               (i) the redemption date;

               (ii) the redemption price;

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

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

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

     Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or published
as provided in Section 3.03, Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on

     Section 6.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an
Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(d) or (e)), then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that
Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that Series are Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such
Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to
be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee
as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to
Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of
Securities of that Series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Section 6.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

     The Company covenants that if:

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

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

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

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

18

 

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

     Section 6.04 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 or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of
principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (b) to collect and
receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute
the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of
any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any
such proceeding.

     Section 6.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of
action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the
Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding
relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own
name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which
such judgment has been recovered.

     Section 6.06 Application of Money Collected.

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

19

 

     First: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07; and

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

     Third: To the Company.

     Section 6.07 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any Series shall
have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture,
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Section 6.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the
right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if
any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or,
in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

     Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to
such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored

20

 

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

     Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with
respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section
2.08, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by
law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or
of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to
the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

     Section 6.12 Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of any Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that:

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

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

          (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

     Section 6.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and its
consequences, except a Default (i) in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security
of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of any Series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including
any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration) or (ii) in respect of a covenant
or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
outstanding Security of such Series affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to
exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured,

21

 

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

     Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder
of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or
in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that
such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply
to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Stated
Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the
redemption date).

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

     Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

               (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon Officers’
Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of
this Indenture; however, in the case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel
which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

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

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

22

 

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

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

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

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

          (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

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

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

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

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

23

 

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

          (e) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder without negligence and in good faith and in reliance thereon.

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

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

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

          (i) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

     Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or
an Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent
may do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

     Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of
the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the
Securities other than its authentication.

     Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing
with respect to the Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of the Securities of that Series and, if any Bearer
Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, notice of a Default
or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event
of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security of any Series,

24

 

the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate trust committee or a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of Holders of that Series.

     Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after May 15 in each year, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear on the register
kept by the Registrar and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish in an Authorized
Newspaper, a brief report dated as of such May 15, in accordance with, and to the extent required
under, TIA Section 313. A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of any Series
shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are
listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any Series are listed on
any stock exchange.

     Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to
time compensation for its services as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree
upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Company shall indemnify each of
the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (including the cost of defending itself) against any loss,
liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by
the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in this Section 7.07 in the
performance of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim
and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the
Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for
any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. This
indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the
Trustee. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability
incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee, shareholder or agent of the Trustee
through the negligence or bad faith of any such persons. To secure the Company’s payment
obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any Series on
all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal
of and interest on particular Securities of that Series. When the Trustee incurs expenses or
renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) occurs, the expenses
and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under
any Bankruptcy Law. The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.

     Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment
of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section. The Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of
one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed
resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series may
remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and

25

 

the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more
Series if:

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

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

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

          (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

     If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

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

     A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section
7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect to each Series of
Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a
notice of its succession to each Holder of each such Series and, if any Bearer Securities are
outstanding, publish such notice on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper. Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section
7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and
liabilities incurred by it prior to the date of such replacement.

     Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

     Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who
satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall comply with
TIA Section 310(b).

     Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee is subject to TIA
Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust an amount sufficient for the purpose of paying and discharging the entire indebtedness on
such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and

on or prior to the date of such deposit) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case
may be;

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

          (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of

Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04, shall be

27

Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of
the principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the
Trustee or analogous payments as contemplated by Sections 8.03 or 8.04.

          (b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Sections 8.03 or

          (c) The Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
U.S. Government Obligations or money held by it as provided in Sections 8.03 or 8.04 which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess of the amount thereof
which then would have been required to be deposited for the purpose for which such U.S. Government
Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not authorize the sale by the
Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations held under this Indenture.

subparagraph (d) hereof, and the provisions of this Indenture, as it relates to such outstanding
Securities of such Series, shall no longer be in effect (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall, at Company Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except as
to:

          (a) the rights of Holders of Securities of such Series to receive, from the trust funds
described in subparagraph (d) hereof, (i) payment of the principal of and each installment of

          (c) the rights, powers, trust and immunities of the Trustee hereunder;

provided that, the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

irrevocably deposited (except as provided in Section 8.02(c)) with the Trustee 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 in the case of Securities of such

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

          (e) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it
is bound;

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

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

          (i) 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 the defeasance
contemplated by this Section have been complied with; and

          (j) such defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless
such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

     Section 8.04 Covenant Defeasance. Unless this Section 8.04 is otherwise specified, pursuant
to Section 2.02(r), to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, on and after the 91st day after
the date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (a) hereof, the Company may omit to comply with
respect to the Securities of any Series with any term, provision or condition set forth under
Sections 4.02, 4.03, and 5.01 as well as any additional covenants specified in a supplemental
indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers’

29

 

Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02 (and the failure to comply with any such
covenants shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under
Section 6.01) and the occurrence of any event specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series
of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02
and designated as an Event of Default shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder,
with respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that the following conditions shall have
been satisfied:

          (a) with reference to this Section 8.04, the Company has deposited or caused to be
irrevocably deposited (except as provided in Section 8.02(c)) with the Trustee 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 in the case of Securities of
such Series denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations, which
through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms,
will provide (and without reinvestment and assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such
Trustee), not later than one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash,
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
discharge each installment of principal of and interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund
payments in respect of the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of interest or
principal and such sinking fund payments are due;

          (b) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it
is bound;

          (c) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 91st day
after such date;

          (d) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal
income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred;

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

          (f) Such defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, unless
such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration thereunder.

     Section 8.05 Repayment to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company
upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal and

30

 

interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and after such time, Holders entitled to the
money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned
property law designates another person.

     Section 8.06 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money
deposited with respect to Securities of any series in accordance with Section 8.01 by reason of any
legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company
under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series and under the Securities of such
series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01
until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in
accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of
principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities
because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the
Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

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

          (a) to evidence the succession of another person to the Company under this Indenture and the
Securities and the assumption by any such successor person of the obligations of the Company
hereunder and under the Securities;

          (b) to add or remove covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any
series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of
Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included for the benefit of such
series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company provided such action
does not adversely affect the interests of the Company;

          (c) to add any additional Events of Default;

          (d) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be
necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in bearer form, registrable or not
registrable as to principal, and with or without interest coupons, or to permit or facilitate the
issuance of Securities in uncertificated form;

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

31

 

          (f) to establish the forms or terms of the Securities of any series issued pursuant to the
terms hereof;

          (g) to cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistency in this Indenture;

          (h) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee

of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee;

          (i) to qualify this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

          (j) to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to certificated securities;

          (k) to supplement any provisions of this Indenture necessary to permit or facilitate the
defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities, provided that such action does not adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or any other series; and

          (l) to comply with the rules or regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation
system on which any of the Securities may be listed or traded.

     Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may enter into a
supplemental indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities
of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of each such Series. Except as provided in
Section 6.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender
offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such Series) may waive compliance by the Company with
any provision of this Indenture or the Securities with respect to such Series. It shall not be
necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent approves the substance thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this
section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby
and, if any Bearer Securities affected thereby are outstanding, publish on one occasion in an
Authorized Newspaper, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure
by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any
way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

     Section 9.03 Limitations. Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver
may not:

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

32

 

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

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

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

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

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

          (g) make any change in Sections 6.08, 6.13, or 9.03; or

          (h) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security.

     Section 9.04 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the
Securities of one or more Series shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that
complies with the TIA as then in effect.

     Section 9.05 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment is set forth in a
supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is
a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the
consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the
consent as to his Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of
revocation before the date of the supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.
Any amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Holder of each Series affected by such
amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section
9.03. In that case, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented
to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same
debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

     Section 9.06 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. The Trustee may place an appropriate
notation about an amendment or waiver on any Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The
Company in exchange for Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon
request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

     Section 9.07 Trustee Protected. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by,
any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts
created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the

33

 

documents required by Section 10.04, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental indentures,
except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture that adversely affects its rights.

by or a meeting of Holders of one or more Series. Any Agent may make reasonable rules and set
reasonable requirements for its functions.

     Section 10.07 Legal Holidays. Unless otherwise provided by Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture hereto for a particular Series, a “Legal Holiday” is any day
that is not a Business Day. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may
be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall
accrue for the intervening period.

     Section 10.08 No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder, as
such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any obligations of the

35

 

Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of
the Securities.

     Section 10.09 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to
be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     Section 10.10 Governing Laws. This Indenture and the Securities will be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to
conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of
the State of New York.

     Section 10.11 No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used
to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

     Section 10.12 Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Securities
shall bind its successor. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successor.

remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 10.14 Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table,
and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of
reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any
of the terms or provisions hereof.

     Section 10.15 Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest or other
amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a
judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at
which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New
York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable
judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used
shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase
in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking
Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under
this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied
by any tender, any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with
subsection (a)), in any currency

36

 

other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall
result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed
to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or
additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if
any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so
expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other
sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day
except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York on which banking institutions
are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

ARTICLE XI

SINKING FUNDS

     Section 11.01 Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to
any sinking fund for the retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted or
required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this Indenture. The minimum
amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any Series is
herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment” and any other amount provided for by the
terms of Securities of such Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If
provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment
may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the
Securities of such Series.

     Section 11.02 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company may, in
satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any
Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of
such Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities
previously called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such
Series to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased by the
Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Series of
Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or through the application of permitted
optional sinking fund payments or other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities
shall be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto, not
later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting
Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price
specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of
such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of
Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.02, the principal amount of
Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be
less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon
receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the
Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company
Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such
Paying Agent upon delivery

37

 

by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid
principal amount equal to the cash payment required to be released to the Company.

     Section 11.03 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 45 days (unless
otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate in
respect of a particular Series of Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying
the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms
of that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that
Series pursuant to Section 11.02, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the
amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board
Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of
Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to
be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause
notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in
the manner provided in Section 3.03. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06.
