Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

     AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of                     , 20     , between GATX Corporation, a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, (the “Corporation”),
and                      (“Indemnitee”).

     WHEREAS, it is essential to the Corporation to retain and attract as Directors of the
Corporation the most capable persons available; and

     WHEREAS, the Corporation has requested that Indemnitee serve as a Director of the
Corporation; and

     WHEREAS, both the Corporation and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of litigation and
other claims being asserted against directors of companies in today’s environment; and

     WHEREAS, the Corporation’s By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) provide that the Corporation will
indemnify its Directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and will advance expenses in
connection therewith, and Indemnitee’s willingness to serve as a Director of the Corporation is
based in part on Indemnitee’s reliance on such provisions; and

     WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for substantial protection against personal
liability in order to enhance Indemnitee’s service to the Corporation in an effective manner,
and Indemnitee’s reliance on the aforesaid provisions of the By-Laws, and in part to provide
Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by such provisions
will be available to Indemnitee regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or
revocation of such provisions or any change in the composition of the Corporation’s Board of
Directors or any acquisition or business combination transaction relating to the Corporation,
the Corporation wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification and advancement of
expenses to Indemnitee as set forth in this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Indemnity.

     (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law (and regardless of any future By-Law provision
to the contrary), the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee in the event Indemnitee is made, or
threatened to be made, a party or a witness, or is otherwise a participant in or to, an action,
investigation or proceeding, whether civil, administrative or criminal (including but not
limited to an action, investigation or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation or by or
in the right of any other corporation or business entity of any type or kind, domestic or
foreign, which any Director of the Corporation served in any capacity at the request of the
Corporation),

- 1 -

 

by reason of the fact that Indemnitee, or Indemnitee’s testator or intestate is or was a
Director of the Corporation (or served any other corporation or business entity of any type or
kind, domestic or foreign, in any capacity at the request of the Corporation). The foregoing
indemnification shall be from and against all judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred
by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such action, suit, investigation or
proceeding, or any appeal therein. The Corporation shall pay, in advance of final disposition
of any such action, suit, investigation or proceeding, expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by Indemnitee in defending or otherwise responding to such action or proceeding upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such amount consistent with
provisions of applicable law, including but not limited to Section 725(a) of the New York
Business Corporation Law, as amended. For purposes of this Agreement, references to “serving at
the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a Director of the Corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such Director with respect to an employee benefit
plan or its participants or beneficiaries, including but not limited to service as a trustee or
administrator of any such benefit plan.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1(a), the Corporation shall
indemnify Indemnitee in any action, suit or proceeding initiated by Indemnitee only if
Indemnitee acted with the authorization of the Corporation in initiating that action, suit
investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that any action or proceeding brought under
Section 9 shall not be subject to this Section 1(b), and it is expressly agreed that the
Corporation shall bear any and all fees and expenses incurred by Indemnitee in seeking to
enforce this agreement.

     (c) Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification for matters covered in
this Agreement. The burden of proof of establishing that Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification shall be on the Corporation.

     (d) Neither the Corporation nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold their
consent to any proposed settlement of an indemnified claim, provided, however, that no party
shall be required to admit liability in connection with any proposed settlement and Indemnitee
shall not be required to bear any cost or expense in connection with any proposed settlement of
an indemnifiable claim.

2. Partial Indemnity; Successful Defense.

     (a) If Indemnitee is entitled under any provisions of this Agreement to indemnification by
the Corporation for some or a portion of the expenses, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement but not for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall indemnify
Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

- 2 -

 

     (b) To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense or settlement of any action, suit, investigation or proceeding or in defense of any
issue or matter therein, including, without limitation, dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee
shall be indemnified against any and all expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’
fees), judgments, fines, taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement with respect to such
action, suit or proceeding. Moreover, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any or all claims relating in whole or in part to an
indemnifiable event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including, without limitation,
dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all costs, charges and
expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other fees and expenses, incurred
in connection therewith without further action or determination.

     (c) For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any action, suit, investigation or
proceeding, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval), or upon a
plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did
not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has
determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law or this Agreement.

3. Notice by Indemnitee.

     Indemnitee shall notify the Corporation in writing of any matter with respect to which
Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following
the receipt by Indemnitee of written threat thereof; provided, however, that failure to so
notify the Corporation shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of his rights hereunder.

4. Advancement of Expenses.

     In the event of any action, suit, investigation or proceeding against Indemnitee which may
give rise to a right of indemnification from the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement,
following written request to the Corporation by Indemnitee, the Corporation shall advance to
Indemnitee (or to such parties as are conducting the defense of any indemnified claim) amounts
to cover expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defending or otherwise responding to or
participating in any such action, suit, investigation or proceeding in advance of the final
disposition thereof upon receipt of (a) an Undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee
substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A to repay the amount advanced in the event
it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can
be taken that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation (the
“Undertaking”), and (b) reasonably satisfactory evidence as to the amount of such expenses.
Indemnitee’s Undertaking together with a copy of an expense statement billed to Indemnitee or
paid or to be paid by Indemnitee shall constitute satisfactory evidence as to the amount of
expenses to be advanced by the

- 3 -

 

Corporation. Following receipt of an Undertaking, the Corporation shall, within 30
calendar days after receiving expense statements, make payment of the expenses stated therein.
No security shall be required in connection with any Undertaking and any Undertaking shall be
accepted without reference to the Indemnitee’s ability to make repayment.

5. Non-Exclusivity of Right of Indemnification.

     (a) The indemnification rights granted to Indemnitee under this Agreement shall not be
deemed exclusive of, or in limitation of, any other rights that are more beneficial to
Indemnitee to which Indemnitee may be entitled under New York law, the Corporation’s Articles of
Incorporation or By-Laws, any other agreement, any vote of shareholders or directors or
otherwise. To the extent any applicable law, the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or
By-Laws, as in effect on the date hereof or at any time in the future, permit greater or less
limited or less conditional indemnification or advance payment of expenses than is provided for
in this Agreement, Indemnitee shall enjoy such greater or less limited or less conditional
benefits so afforded, and this Agreement shall be deemed amended without any further action by
the Corporation or Indemnitee to grant such greater benefits. It is the intention of the
parties that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or abridge the indemnification rights of
Indemnitee as set forth in the By-Laws, in any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
coverage, or otherwise. Accordingly, in the event there is a conflict between any provision in
this Agreement and any provision of the By-Laws now in effect or which may be in effect in the
future, the controlling provision shall be that provision which would be more favorable to
Indemnitee and would result in broader and more expansive indemnification rights in favor of
Indemnitee.

     (b) Indemnitee shall be entitled, in the sole discretion of Indemnitee, to elect to have
Indemnitee’s rights hereunder interpreted on the basis of applicable law in effect (i) at the
time of execution of this Agreement, or (ii) at the time of the occurrence of the indemnifiable
event giving rise to a claim, or (iii) at the time indemnification is sought.

6. Contribution.

     If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any
reason whatsoever, the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the
amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for expenses, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding, in
such proportion as is fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such action
by board action, arbitration or by the court before which such action was brought in order to
reflect (a) the relative benefits received by the Corporation and Indemnitee as a result of the
event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such action; and/or (b) the relative fault of the
Corporation (and its other directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in
connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

- 4 -

 

Indemnitee’s right to contribution under this Section 6 shall be determined in accordance
with, pursuant to and in the same manner as, the provisions in Sections 1 and 2 relating to
Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement.

7. Liability Insurance.

     (a) To the extent the Corporation maintains at any time an insurance policy or policies
providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such
policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any other director of the Corporation under such insurance policy.

     (b) The purchase and maintenance of such insurance shall not in any way limit or affect
the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and the execution and delivery of this
Agreement shall not in any way be construed to limit or affect the rights and obligations of the
Corporation and/or of the other parties under any such insurance policy.

     (c) The provisions of this Section 7 shall neither (i) restrict the Corporation’s right to
purchase any type of directors’ liability coverage (or any other insurance coverage that is
reserved to or benefits solely or primarily independent or non-executive directors), nor (ii)
afford any officer or non-executive director who is not insured under any such insurance policy
a claim against the Corporation, the Indemnitee, or any other entity arising from the purchase
or existence of such insurance coverage.

8. Termination of Agreement and Survival of Right of Indemnification.

     The rights granted to Indemnitee hereunder shall continue and survive any termination of
this Agreement and any termination of Indemnitee’s service as a director of the Corporation and
shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee, Indemnitee’s personal representatives, heirs,
executors, administrators and beneficiaries. The Corporation will require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to
all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporation, by agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in
the same manner and to the same extent the Corporation would be required to perform if no such
succession had taken place. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Corporation and any successor to the Corporation, including, without limitation, any person
acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the
Corporation whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such
successor will thereafter be deemed the “Corporation” for purposes of this Agreement), but this
Agreement will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Corporation.

- 5 -

 

9. Resolution of All Disputes Concerning Entitlement.

     (a) It is intent of the Corporation that the Indemnitee not be required to incur the
expenses associated with the enforcement of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by
litigation or other legal action because the cost and expense thereof would substantially
detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Indemnitee hereunder. Accordingly, if
it should appear to the Indemnitee that the Corporation has failed to comply with any of its
obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Corporation or any other person takes
any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any action, suit,
investigation or proceeding designed (or having the effect of being designed) to deny, or to
recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder,
the Corporation irrevocably authorizes the Indemnitee from time to time to retain counsel of
Indemnitee’s choice, at the expense of the Corporation as hereinafter provided, to represent the
Indemnitee in connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action,
whether by or against the Corporation or any director, officer, stockholder or other person
affiliated with the Corporation, in any jurisdiction. Regardless of the outcome thereof, the
Corporation shall pay and be solely responsible for any and all costs, charges and expenses,
including, without limitation, attorneys’ and other fees and expenses, reasonably incurred by
the Indemnitee as a result of the Corporation’s failure to perform this Agreement or any
provision thereof.

     (b) The exclusive forum for resolution of any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement
shall be the Federal and State Courts situated in and for the State of New York, County of New
York, and the parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of said courts and
waive any claim that said courts do not constitute a convenient or appropriate venue, and
agrees that service of process may be effected in any such action, suit or proceeding by notice
given in accordance with Section 11.

10. Amendments, etc.

     Except as provided in Section 5, no supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement
shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of
the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof
(whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No provision of
this Agreement may be waived, modified or discharged unless such waiver, modification or
discharge is agreed to in writing signed by Indemnitee and the Corporation. No waiver by either
party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto or compliance with any
condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party will be deemed a
waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or
subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, expressed or implied with
respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party

- 6 -

 

which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together
will constitute one and the same agreement.

     11. Notices.

     All notices, requests, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand or when
mailed by certified registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid:

	 	(a)	 	If to Indemnitee, to:
	 
	 	(b)	 	If to the Corporation, to:

Chicago, IL 60606-5314

Attention: Sr. Vice President, General Counsel

     or to such person or address as Indemnitee or the Corporation shall furnish to the other party
in writing pursuant to the above.

12. Severability.

     If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
this invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and there shall be substituted for the
provision at issue a valid and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at
issue.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first
above stated.

EXHIBIT A — GENERAL FORM OF UNDERTAKING

     1. This Statement is submitted pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement effective February 23,
2009 between GATX Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State
of New York, (the “Corporation”) and the undersigned.

     2. I am requesting indemnification against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, all of which have been or will be actually and
reasonably incurred by me or on my behalf in connection with a certain action, suit,
investigation or other proceeding to which I am a party or am threatened to be made a party, or
in which I am or may be participating, by reason of the fact that I am or was a director of the
Corporation.

     3. With respect to all matters related to any such action, suit, investigation or other
proceeding, I believe I acted in good faith and in a manner I reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, I had no reason to believe that my conduct was unlawful.

     4. I hereby undertake to repay this advancement of expenses if it shall ultimately
be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that I am not entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation under the aforesaid Indemnification Agreement or otherwise.

     5. I am requesting indemnification in connection with the following matter:

RECITALS OF THE COMPANY

     The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for
the issue from time to time of its unsecured debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of
indebtedness to be issued in one or more series as in this Indenture provided, up to such principal
amount or amounts as may from time to time be authorized in or pursuant to one or more resolutions
of the Board of Directors.

     All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance
with its terms, have been done.

     NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH:

     For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase or acceptance of the Debt Securities
by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate
benefit of the respective Holders from time to time of the Debt Securities or of any series thereof
as follows:

ARTICLE ONE.

Definitions.

     SECTION 1.01. Definitions. The terms defined in this Section 1.01 (except as herein
otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires) for all purposes of this
Indenture and of any indenture supplemental hereto shall have the respective meanings specified in
this Section 1.01. All other terms used in this Indenture which are defined in the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 or which are by reference therein defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
shall have (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires)
the meanings assigned to such terms in said Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and in said Securities Act
as in force at the date of the execution of this Indenture. All accounting terms not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and, except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the term “generally accepted
accounting principles” with respect to any computation required or permitted hereunder shall mean
such accounting principles as are generally accepted at the date of such computation. All
references to such terms herein shall be both to the singular or the plural, as the context so
requires.

Affiliate:

     The term “Affiliate”, when used with respect to any specified Person, means any other Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with
such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition,

 

 

“control” when used with respect to any specified Person means the power to direct the
management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of
voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have
meanings correlative to the foregoing.

Authenticating Agent:

     The term “Authenticating Agent” shall mean the agent of the Trustee, if any, which at the time
shall be appointed and acting pursuant to Section 8.14.

Board of Directors:

     The term “Board of Directors” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company or any

Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company to have been duly adopted by the Board of
Directors and to be in full force and effect on the date of such certification, and delivered to

as of the date of determination thereof under a lease of Principal Property by the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, discounted from the respective due dates thereof to such date at
the rate per annum equal to the weighted average interest rate borne by the Debt Securities. The
weighted average interest rate borne by the Debt Securities shall be calculated by dividing the
aggregate of the annual interest payments required on the Debt Securities, based on the amount
Outstanding at the latest date any Debt Securities were issued hereunder, by the aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities Outstanding at such date. The total net amount of rent
payable under any such lease for any period shall be the total amount of the rent payable by the
lessee with respect to such period but shall not include amounts required to be paid on account of
maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents and similar
charges and contingent rents such as those based on sales. The remaining term under any lease
shall be calculated without giving effect to any unexercised option of the lessee for the renewal
or extension of any term. In the case of any

2

 

lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall
also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid
under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated.

to Article Twelve, shall include its successors and assigns.

its Restricted Subsidiaries issued under a revolving credit or similar agreement if the obligation
issued under such agreement matures by its terms within 12 months from the date thereof but by the
terms of such agreement such obligation may be renewed or extended or the amount thereof reborrowed

Debt Security Forms.

     SECTION 2.01. Forms Generally. The Debt Securities of each series and the certificates of
authentication thereon shall have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture (the provisions of which shall be
appropriate to reflect the terms of each series of Debt Securities, including the currency or
denomination, which may be Dollars or Foreign Currency), and may have such letters, numbers or
other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon, 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 Debt Securities, as evidenced by their signing of such
Debt Securities. Any portion of the text of any Debt Security may be set forth on the reverse
thereof, with an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Debt Security.

     The definitive Debt Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any
combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner permitted by the rules of any
securities exchange, all as determined by the officers executing such Debt Securities, as evidenced
by their signing of such Debt Securities.

     SECTION 2.02. Forms of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities of each series shall be in such
form or forms (including global form) as shall be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution.

     Prior to the delivery of a Debt Security of any series in any such form to the Trustee for the
Debt Securities of such series for authentication, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee the
following:

     (1) The Board Resolution by or pursuant to which such form of Debt Security has been
approved;

12

 

     (2) An Officers’ Certificate dated the date such Certificate is delivered to the Trustee
stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the authentication
and delivery of Debt Securities in such form have been complied with; and

     (3) An Opinion of Counsel stating that Debt Securities in such form, together with any
coupons appertaining thereto, when (a) completed by appropriate insertions and executed and
delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, (b)
authenticated and delivered by such Trustee in accordance with this Indenture within the
authorization as to aggregate principal amount established from time to time by the Board of
Directors, and (c) sold in the manner specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will be the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency and other similar laws generally affecting 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 Debt Securities.

     The definitive Debt Securities and coupons, if any, 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 produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such
Debt Securities or coupons, as evidenced by their execution thereof.

	as Trustee	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	By
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 

Authorized Officer
	 	 

     SECTION 2.04. Debt Securities in Global Form. (a) If the Company shall establish pursuant
to Section 3.01 that the Debt Securities of a particular series are to be issued in whole or in
part in the form of one or more Global Debt Securities, then the Company shall execute and the
Trustee or its agent shall, in accordance with Section 3.04 and the Company Order delivered to the
Trustee or its agent thereunder, authenticate and deliver such Global Debt Security or Global Debt
Securities, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by such
Global Debt Security or Global Debt Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall
specify in a Company Order, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global
Debt Security or Global Debt
Securities or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the
Depository or

13

 

pursuant to the Depository’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially
to the following effect: “Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
the Depository to the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and
any certificate issued is registered in the name of the nominee of the Depository or in such other
name as is requested by an authorized representative of the Depository (and any payment is made to
the nominee of the Depository or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of the Depository), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE
BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, the nominee of the
Depository, has an interest herein.”

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.04 or of Section 3.06, and subject
to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the terms of a Global Debt Security expressly
permit such Global Debt Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual certificates
representing Debt Securities, a Global Debt Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part
and in the manner provided in Section 3.06, only to a nominee of the Depository for such Global
Debt Security, or to the Depository, or a successor Depository for such Global Debt Security
selected or approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depository.

     (c) (1) If at any time the Depository for a Global Debt Security notifies the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Debt Security or if at any time
the Depository for the Global Debt Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in
good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or
regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to such Global Debt
Security. If a successor Depository for such Global Debt Security is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the
Company will execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a Company Request for the
authentication and delivery of certificates representing Debt Securities of such series in exchange
for such Global Debt Security, will authenticate and deliver, certificates representing Debt
Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Debt Security in exchange for such Global Debt Security.

     (2) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Debt Securities
of any series or portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Debt
Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Debt Security or Global Debt Securities.
In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the
authentication and delivery of certificates representing Debt Securities of such series in exchange
in whole or in part for such Global Debt Security, will authenticate and deliver certificates
representing Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Debt Security or Global
Debt Securities representing such series or portion thereof in exchange for such Global Debt
Security or Global Debt Securities.

14

 

     (3) If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to Debt Securities
issued or issuable in the form of a Global Debt Security, the Depository for such Global Debt
Security may surrender such Global Debt Security in exchange in whole or in part for certificates
representing Debt Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such
terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depository. Thereupon the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without a service charge, (1) to each
Holder specified by the Security Registrar or the Depository a certificate or certificates
representing Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized
denomination as requested by such person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange
for such Holder’s beneficial interest as specified by the Security Registrar or the Depository in
the Global Debt Security; and (2) to such Depository a new Global Debt Security of like tenor and
terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal
amount of the surrendered Global Debt Security and the aggregate principal amount of certificates
representing Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

     (4) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will
execute and the Trustee or its agent will authenticate and deliver certificates representing Debt
Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations for Debt Securities of the
same series or any integral multiple thereof. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of
a Global Debt Security for certificates representing Debt Securities, such Global Debt Security
shall be cancelled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph,
certificates representing Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Debt Security pursuant to
this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations for Debt
Securities of that Series or any integral multiple thereof, as the Security Registrar or Depository
shall instruct the Trustee or its agent. The Trustee or the Security Registrar shall deliver at
its Corporate Trust Office such certificates representing Debt Securities to the Holders in whose
names such Debt Securities are so registered.

     (11) if the interest on or principal of (or premium, if any, with
respect to) the Debt Securities of the series are to be payable, at the
election of the Company or a Holder thereof or otherwise, in a currency
other than that in which such Debt Securities are payable, the period or
periods within which, and the other terms and conditions upon which, such
election may be made, and the time and manner of determining the exchange
rate between the currency in such Debt Securities are denominated or stated
to be payable and the currency in which such Debt Securities or any of them
are to be so payable;

     (12) whether the amount of payments of interest on or principal of (or
premium, if any, with respect to) the Debt Securities of such series may be
determined with reference to an index, formula or other method (which index,
formula or method or method may be based, without limitation, on one or more
currencies, commodities, equity indices or other indices), and, if so, the
terms and conditions upon which and the manner in which such amounts shall

notice to the Trustee by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear on the Debt Security Register on the record date for such interest payment.

     SECTION 3.04. Execution of Debt Securities. The Debt Securities shall be executed manually
or by facsimile in the name and on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors,
its President, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer and by its Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries under its corporate seal (which may be printed, engraved or otherwise
reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise). Only such Debt Securities as shall bear thereon a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, manually executed by
the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or become obligatory
for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Debt Security executed by the Company
shall be conclusive evidence that the Debt Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     In case any officer of the Company who shall have executed any of the Debt Securities shall
cease to be such officer before the Debt Securities so executed shall have been authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Debt Securities nevertheless shall be
valid and binding and may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who
executed such Debt Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Debt
Securities may be executed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the
execution of such Debt Security, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date
of such Debt Security or of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such an
officer.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Debt Securities of any series, properly created in accordance with Section 3.01
and executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver such Debt Securities upon Company Order. In the event that any other Person performs
the Trustee’s duties as Authenticating Agent pursuant to a duly executed agreement, the Company
shall notify the Trustee in writing of the issuance of any Debt Securities hereunder, such notice
to be delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.03 on the date such Debt Securities
are delivered by the Company for authentication to such other Person.

     Prior to any such authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel to be furnished to
the Trustee pursuant to Section 15.05 and the Officers’ Certificate relating to the issuance of any
series of Debt Securities pursuant to Sections 15.05 and 3.01, Opinions of Counsel stating that:

18

 

     (1) all instruments furnished to the Trustee conform to the
requirements of this Indenture and constitute sufficient authority hereunder
for the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities;

     (2) all laws and requirements with respect to the form and execution
by the Company of the supplemental indenture, if any, have been complied
with, the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture, if any, will
not violate the terms of this Indenture, the supplemental indenture has been
duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Company has
corporate power to execute and deliver any such supplemental indenture and
has taken all necessary corporate action for those purposes and any such
supplemental indenture has been executed and delivered and constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance
with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect);

     (3) the form and terms of such Debt Securities have been established
in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (4) all laws and requirements with respect to the execution and
delivery by the Company of such Debt Securities have been complied with, the
authentication and delivery of the Debt Securities by the Trustee will not
violate the terms of this Indenture, the Company has the corporate power to
issue such Debt Securities and such Debt Securities, assuming due
authentication and delivery by the Trustee, constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Company in accordance with their terms and are
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, equally and ratably with all
other Outstanding Debt Securities, if any, of such series; and

     (5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

     The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Debt Securities if the issue thereof
will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Debt Securities and
this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or such
action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.

     Unless otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for any series, all Debt Securities
shall be dated the date of their authentication.

     No Debt Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Debt Security a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, and such certificate upon any Debt Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Debt Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

19

 

     SECTION 3.05. Temporary Debt Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Debt
Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon receipt of the documents required by
Sections 2.02, 3.01 and 3.04, together with a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, such temporary Debt Securities which may be printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denominations, substantially of the tenor of
such definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such temporary
Debt Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Debt Securities.

     If temporary Debt Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt
Securities of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Debt Securities of any series, the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities of such series, upon surrender of the temporary Debt
Securities of such series at any office or agency maintained by the Company for such purposes as
provided in Section 5.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one
or more temporary Debt Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore a like principal amount of definitive Debt
Securities of such series having the same interest rate and Stated Maturity and bearing interest
from the same date of any authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Debt
Securities of such series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series.

     SECTION 3.06. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Debt Securities. Debt Securities may
be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of such series that are of
other authorized denominations. Debt Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at any office
or agency to be maintained for such purpose by the Company, as provided in Section 5.02, and the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefore the Debt
Security or Debt Securities of authorized denominations which the Debt Securityholder making the
exchange shall be entitled to receive. Each agent of the Company appointed pursuant to Section
5.02 as a person authorized to register and register transfer of Debt Securities is sometimes
herein referred to as a “Debt Security registrar.”

     The Company shall keep, at each such office or agency of the Company maintained for such
purpose, as provided in Section 5.02, a register for each series of Debt
Securities hereunder (the registers of all Debt Security registrars being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the “Debt Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Debt Securities
and shall register the transfer of Debt Securities as in this Article Three provided. At all
reasonable times, such Debt Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any
Debt Security registrar other than the Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer
of any Debt Security at any such office or agency, the Company shall execute and register and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate

20

 

principal amount. Registration or registration of transfer of any Debt Security by any Debt Security registrar in the
registry books maintained by such Debt Security registrar, and delivery of such Debt Security, duly
authenticated, shall be deemed to complete the registration or registration of transfer of such
Debt Security.

     The Company will at all times designate one Person (who may be the Company and who need not be
a Debt Security registrar) to act as repository of a master list of names and addresses of Holders
of the Debt Securities. The Trustee shall act as such repository unless and until some other
Person is, by written notice from the Company to the Trustee and each Debt Security registrar,
designated by the Company to act as such. The Company shall cause each Debt Security registrar to
furnish to such repository, on a current basis, such information as such repository may reasonably
request as to registrations, transfers, exchanges and other transactions effected by such
registrar, as may be necessary or advisable to enable such repository to maintain such master list
on as current a basis as is reasonably practicable.

     No Person shall at any time be appointed as or act as a Debt Security registrar unless such
Person is at such time empowered under applicable law to act as such and duly registered to act as
such under and to the extent required by applicable law and regulations.

     All Debt Securities presented to a Debt Security registrar for registration of transfer shall
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and such Debt Security registrar duly executed by the registered Holder
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

     The Company shall not be required to issue, exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Debt
Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next preceding the mailing of a notice of
redemption of Debt Securities of such series and ending at the close of business on the day of the
mailing of a notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series so selected for redemption, or
(b) any Debt Securities selected, called or being called for redemption except, in the case of any
Debt Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

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

     None of the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Company will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

21

 

     SECTION 3.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Debt Securities. In case any temporary or
definitive Debt Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its
discretion may execute, and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Debt
Security, bearing a number, letter or other distinguishing mark not contemporaneously Outstanding,
in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Debt Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for
the Debt Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Debt
Security shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft,
the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft, of such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof.

     In the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Company that such Debt Security has been
acquired by a protected purchaser, the Trustee shall authenticate any such substituted Debt
Security and deliver the same upon any Company Request. Upon the issuance of any substituted Debt
Security, 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 connected
therewith. In case any Debt Security which has matured or is about to mature shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Debt
Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of
a mutilated Debt Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless
and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and to the Trustee
of the destruction, loss or theft of such Debt Security and of the ownership thereof.

     Every substituted Debt Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.07 by
virtue of the fact that any Debt Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debt
Security shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture
equally and proportionately with any and all other Debt Securities duly issued hereunder. All Debt
Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are
exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt
Securities and shall preclude (to the extent permitted by law) any
and all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable
instruments or other securities without their surrender.

     SECTION 3.08. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest which is payable, and
is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, on any Debt Security, shall
unless otherwise provided in such Debt Security be paid to the Person in whose name the Debt
Security (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest.

22

 

     Unless otherwise stated in the form of Debt Security of a series, interest on the Debt
Securities of any series shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year comprised of twelve 30
day months.

     Any interest on any Debt Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of
having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in
each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
the Persons in whose names any such Debt Securities (or their respective
Predecessor Debt 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 Debt
Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest
or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
Interest 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 therefore to be mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to each Holder of such Debt Securities, at his address as
it appears in the Debt Security Register, 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 mailed as
aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
names such Debt Securities (or their respective Predecessor Debt Securities) are
registered 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 in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Debt Securities of that series 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

23

 

pursuant to this Clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

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

     SECTION 3.09. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Debt Security is registered as the owner of
such Debt Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
(subject to Section 3.08) interest on, such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever
whether or not such Debt Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent
of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 3.10. Cancellation of Debt Securities Paid, etc. All Debt Securities surrendered for
the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer or delivered in
satisfaction in whole or in part of any sinking fund obligation shall, if surrendered to the
Company or any agent of the Trustee or the Company under this Indenture, be delivered to the
Trustee and promptly cancelled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly
cancelled by it, and no Debt Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly
permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Debt
Securities in accordance with its customary procedures unless directed by a Company Order.

     SECTION 3.11. Currency and Manner of Payments. (a) With respect to Debt Securities
denominated in Dollars or a Foreign Currency, the following payment provisions shall apply:

     (1) Except as provided in subparagraph (a)(2) or in paragraph (c) of
this Section 3.11, payment of principal of and premium, if any, on any Debt
Securities will be made at the offices established pursuant to Section 5.02
by delivery of a check in the currency in which the Debt Security is
denominated on the payment date against surrender of such Debt Security, and
any interest on any Debt Security will be paid at such office by
mailing a check in the currency in which the Debt Securities were
issued to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person
appearing on the Debt Security Register.

     (2) Payment of the principal of and premiums, if any, and interest on
such Debt Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be
made at such other place or places as may be designated by the Company by
any appropriate method.

24

 

     (b) Not later than the fourth Business Day after the Record Date for such Interest Payment
Date, the Paying Agent will deliver to the Company a written notice specifying, in the currency in
which each series of the Debt Securities are denominated, the respective aggregate amounts of
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities to be made on such payment
date, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of the Debt Securities. The failure of the
Paying Agent to deliver such notice shall not relieve the Company from its obligation to make all
payments with respect to any Debt Security when due.

     (c) If the Foreign Currency in which any of the Debt Securities are denominated ceases to be
used both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of
transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then with
respect to each date for the payment of Foreign Currency occurring after the last date on which the
Foreign Currency was so used (the “Conversion Date”), the Dollar shall be the currency of payment
for use on each such Interest Payment Date. The Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the
Trustee and by the Trustee or any paying agent to the Holder of such Debt Securities with respect
to such payment date shall be the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency as determined by the
Currency Determination Agent as of the Record Date (the “Valuation Date”) in the manner provided in
paragraph (d).

     (d) The “Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency” shall be determined by the Currency
Determination Agent as of each Valuation Date and shall be obtained by converting the specified
Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Valuation Date.

     (e) The “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean, for any currency, the highest firm bid quotation
for U.S. dollars received by the Currency Determination Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date (or, if no such rate is
quoted on such date, the last date on which such rate was quoted), from three recognized foreign
exchange dealers in the City of New York selected by the Currency Determination Agent and approved
by the Company (one of which may be the Currency Determination) for the purchase by the quoting
dealer, for settlement on such payment date, of the aggregate amount of such currency payable on
such payment in respect of all Notes denominated in such currency.

     All decisions and determinations of the Currency Determination Agent regarding the Dollar
Equivalent of the Foreign Currency and the Market Exchange Rate 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 and all Holders of the Debt Securities. In the event that the Foreign Currency
ceases to be used both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the
settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community,
the Company, after learning thereof, will immediately give notice thereof to the Trustee (and the
Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 15.03 to the
Holders) specifying the Conversion Date.

25

 

     The Trustee shall be fully justified and protected in relying on and acting upon the
information so received by it from the Company or the Currency Determination Agent and shall not
otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information independently.

     If the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any Debt Securities is payable in a
Foreign Currency and such Foreign Currency is not available for payment due to the imposition of
exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the
control of the Company, then the Company shall be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders
under this Indenture by making such payment in Dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate for
such Foreign Currency on the latest date for which such rate was established on or before the date
on which payment is due. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 3.11 in Dollars where the
required payment is in a Foreign Currency shall not constitute a default under this Indenture.

ARTICLE FOUR.

Redemption of Debt Securities; Sinking Funds.

     SECTION 4.01. Applicability of Article. The Company may reserve the right to redeem and pay
before Stated Maturity all or any part of the Debt Securities of any series, either by optional
redemption, sinking fund (mandatory or optional) or otherwise, by provision therefor in the form of
Debt Security for such series on such terms as are specified in such form or the Board Resolution
or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 or the indenture supplemental hereto as
provided in Section 3.01 with respect to Debt Securities of such series. Redemption of Debt
Securities of any series shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Debt Securities and, to
the extent that this Article does not conflict with such terms, in accordance with this Article.

     SECTION 4.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Debt Securities. In case the Company shall
desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of a series of Debt
Securities pursuant to Section 4.01, the Company shall fix a date for redemption and the Company,
or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall
mail a notice of such redemption at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption to the Holders of Debt Securities so to be redeemed as a whole or in part at their last
addresses as the same appear on the Debt Securities
Register. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice if mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice
to the Holder of any Debt Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Debt Security.

     Notice of redemption shall be given in the name of the Company and shall specify the date
fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which Debt Securities of any series are to be
redeemed, the place of payment (which shall be at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the
Company pursuant to Section 5.02), that payment of the redemption price will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that on and after said date interest

26

 

thereon
or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, and the Section of this Indenture
pursuant to which Debt Securities will be redeemed. In case less than all Debt Securities of any
series are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall also identify the particular Debt
Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part and shall state that the redemption is for the
sinking fund, if such is the case. In case any Debt Security is to be redeemed in part only, the
notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and
shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Debt Security,
a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series in aggregate principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued without charge to the Holder.

     If less than all the Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give
the Trustee notice, at least 45 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) in advance
of the date fixed for redemption, as to the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities to be
redeemed. Debt Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for Debt Securities of such Series or any multiple thereof. Thereupon the Trustee
shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Debt
Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed, and shall as promptly as practicable notify the
Company of the Debt Securities or portions thereof so selected. For all purposes of this
Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Debt
Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Debt Security redeemed or to be redeemed
only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Debt Security which has been or is to
be redeemed.

     On or prior to the date fixed for redemption specified in the notice of redemption given as
provided in this Section 4.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the paying agent
an amount of money in the currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable
sufficient to redeem on the date fixed for redemption all the Debt Securities so called for
redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption.

     The Trustee shall not mail any notice of redemption of any series of Debt Securities during
the continuation of any default in payment of interest on any series of Debt Securities when due or
of any Event of Default, except that where notice of redemption with
respect to any series of Debt Securities shall have been mailed prior to the occurrence of
such default or Event of Default, the Trustee shall redeem such Debt Securities provided funds are
deposited with it for such purpose.

     SECTION 4.03. Payment of Debt Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has
been given as herein provided, the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities with respect to
which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated
in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed
for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Debt Securities or portions thereof at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said
date) interest on the Debt Securities or portions of Debt Securities so called for redemption shall
cease to accrue, and such Debt Securities and portions

27

 

of Debt Securities shall be deemed not to be
Outstanding hereunder and shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture except to
receive payment of the redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Debt Securities at the place of payment in said
notice specified, the said Debt Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and
redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon
to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that any installments of interest becoming due
on the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Debt Securities, or one or
more previous Debt Securities evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as that evidenced by
such particular Debt Securities, registered as such on the relevant record dates according to their
terms and the provisions of Section 3.08.

     Upon presentation and surrender of any Debt Security redeemed in part only, with, if the
Company or the Trustee so required, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debt Security or Debt
Securities of the same series having the same interest rate and Stated Maturity and bearing
interest from the same date, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Holder, in
aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debt Security so presented and
surrendered.

     SECTION 4.04. Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for Redemption.
Debt Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are
identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the last date on
which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not
pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such
written statement directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect
common control with the Company.

     SECTION 4.05. Provisions with Respect to any Sinking Funds. Unless the form or terms of any
series of Debt Securities shall provide otherwise, in lieu of making all
or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to such series of Debt
Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (1) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Debt Securities of such series theretofore acquired by the Company, or (2) receive credit for any
Debt Securities of such series (not previously so credited) acquired by the Company and theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, then Debt Securities so delivered or credited shall be
credited at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with respect to the Debt Securities of
such series.

     On or before the 45th day next preceding each sinking fund Redemption Date, the Company will
deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, the
Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company specifying (i) the portion of the mandatory
sinking fund payment to be satisfied by deposit of cash in the currency

28

 

in which the Debt
Securities of such series are payable, by delivery of Debt Securities theretofore purchased or
otherwise acquired by the Company (which Debt Securities shall accompany such certificate) and by
credit for Debt Securities acquired by the Company and theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation redeemed by the Company and stating that the credit to be applied has not theretofore
been so applied or applied in lieu of retiring Funded Debt pursuant to Section 5.06 and (ii)
whether the Company intends to exercise its right, if any, to make an optional sinking fund
payment, and, if so, the amount thereof. Such certificate shall also state that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its
delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the payment or payments therein referred to, if
any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. In case of the failure of the
Company on or before the 45th day next preceding each sinking fund Redemption Date to deliver such
certificate (or to deliver the Debt Securities specified in this paragraph), the sinking fund
payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash (in the
currency described above) and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of Debt Securities
as a mandatory sinking fund payment, without the option to deliver or credit Debt Securities as
provided in the first paragraph of this Section 4.04 and without the right to make an optional
sinking fund payment as provided herein.

     If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) with respect to any series of
Debt Securities made in cash (in the currency described above) shall exceed the minimum authorized
denomination set forth in an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to Section 3.01 or the equivalent in
the currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are payable (or a lesser sum if the
Company shall so request), unless otherwise provided by the terms of such series of Debt
Securities, said cash shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund Redemption Date with
respect to Debt Securities of such series at the applicable sinking fund Redemption Price with
respect to Debt Securities of such series, together with accrued interest, if any, to the date
fixed for redemption, with the effect provided in Section 4.03. The Trustee shall select, in the
manner provided in Section 4.02, for redemption on such sinking fund Redemption Date a sufficient
principal amount of Debt Securities of such series to utilize said cash and shall thereupon cause
notice of redemption of the Debt Securities of such series for the sinking fund to be given in the
manner provided in Section 4.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 4.03) for the redemption
of Debt Securities in part at the option of the Company. Debt
Securities of any series which are identified by registration and certificate number in an
Officer’s Certificate at least 45 days prior to the sinking fund Redemption Date as being
beneficially owned by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, the Company or an entity directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company
shall be excluded from Debt Securities of such series eligible for selection for redemption. Any
sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Debt Securities
of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment with respect to Debt Securities
of such series received by the Trustee and, together with such payment, shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.05. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect
to Debt Securities of any series held by the Trustee at the maturity of Debt Securities of such
series, and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Debt Securities of such series,
shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if

29

 

necessary, to be deposited
sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Debt Securities of such series
at maturity.

     The Trustee shall not convert any currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are
payable for the purposes of such sinking fund application unless a Company Request is made, and any
such conversion agreed to by the Trustee in response to such request shall be for the account and
at the expense of the Company and shall not affect the Company’s obligation to pay the Holders in
the currency to which such Holder is entitled.

     On or before each sinking fund Redemption Date provided with respect to Debt Securities of any
series, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash in the currency described above a sum equal to
all accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption on Debt Securities to be redeemed on
such sinking fund Redemption Date pursuant to this Section 4.05.

ARTICLE FIVE.

Particular Covenants of the Company.

     SECTION 5.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company will duly and
punctually pay or cause to be paid (in the currency in which the Debt Securities of such series are
payable) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each of the Debt Securities at the
place (subject to Section 3.03), at the respective times and in the manner provided in each series
of Debt Securities and in this Indenture.

     SECTION 5.02. Offices for Notices and Payments, etc. (a) So long as the Debt Securities of
any series remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain at the Place of Payment, an office or
agency where the Debt Securities may be presented for payment, an office or agency where the Debt
Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture
provided, and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of
the Debt Securities or of this Indenture may be served and shall give the Trustee written notice
thereof and any changes in the location thereof. In case the Company shall at any time fail to
maintain any such office or agency, or shall fail to give notice
to the Trustee of any change in the location thereof, presentation and demand may be made and
notice may be served in respect of the Debt Securities or of this Indenture at said office of the
Trustee.

     (b) In addition to the office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 5.02(a),
the Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Debt
Securities may be presented for payment and presented for registration of transfer and for exchange
in the manner provided in this Indenture, and the Company may from time to time rescind such
designations, as the Company may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain
such office and agency at the Place of Payment, for the purposes abovementioned. The Company will
give to the Trustee prompt

30

 

written notice of (i) any such designation or rescission thereof, and
(ii) the location of any such office or agency outside the Place of Payment and of any change of
location thereof.

     SECTION 5.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever
necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided
in Section 8.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

     SECTION 5.04. Provisions as to Paying Agent. (a) (1) Whenever the Company shall have one or
more Paying Agents for any series of Debt Securities other than the Trustee, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Securities of such
series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount becoming due, such sum to
be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and (unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     (2) The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to
the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: (i) comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of
any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon any series of Debt Securities) in the making
of any payment in respect of the Debt Securities of such series, upon the written request of the
Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent as such.

     (b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or prior to each due date of
the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on Debt Securities of any series, set aside,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Debt Securities a sum sufficient
to pay such principal and premium, if any, or interest so becoming due and will notify the Trustee
of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on
such series of Debt Securities) to make any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or
interest on the Debt Securities when the same shall become due and payable.

     (c) Anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any
time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to
any or all series of Debt Securities then Outstanding, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be
paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company, or any paying agent hereunder, as
required by this Section 5.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein
contained.

     (d) Anything in this Section 5.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums
in trust provided in this Section 5.04 is subject to Section 13.04.

     SECTION 5.05. Limitation on Secured Debt.

31

 

     (a) So long as the Debt Securities shall remain Outstanding, the Company will not at any time
create, assume or guarantee, and will not cause, suffer or permit a Restricted Subsidiary to
create, assume or guarantee any Secured Debt without making effective provision (and the Company
covenants that in such case it will make or cause to be made effective provision) whereby the Debt
Securities then Outstanding subject to applicable priorities of payment shall be secured by such
Security Interest equally and ratably with any and all other obligations and indebtedness which
shall be so secured; provided, however, that the foregoing covenants shall not be applicable to the
following:

     (1) (a) any Security Interest on any property hereafter acquired or
constructed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to secure or provide
for the payment of all or any part of the purchase price or construction
cost of such property, including, but not limited to, any indebtedness
incurred by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary prior to, at the time of,
or within 180 days after the later of the acquisition, the completion of
construction (including any improvements on an existing property) or the
commencement of commercial operation of such property, which indebtedness is
incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price
thereof or construction or improvements thereon; or (b) the acquisition of
property subject to any Security Interest upon such property existing at the
time of acquisition thereof, whether or not assumed by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary; or (c) any Security Interest existing on the property
or on the outstanding shares of capital stock or indebtedness of a
corporation at the time such corporation shall become a Restricted
Subsidiary; or (d) a Security Interest on property or shares of capital
stock or indebtedness of a corporation existing at the time such corporation
is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary
or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a
corporation or firm as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided, however, that no such Security
Interest shall extend to any other Principal Property of the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary prior to
such acquisition or to the other Principal Property thereafter acquired
other than additions to such acquired property;

     (2) Security Interests in property of the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary in favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or
any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the
United States of America or any State thereof, or in favor of any other
country, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political
subdivision thereof (including, without limitation, Security Interests to
secure indebtedness of the pollution control or industrial revenue bond
type), in order to permit the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to perform
any contract or subcontract made by it with or at the request of any of the
foregoing, or to secure partial, progress, advance or other

32

 

payments
pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred
for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the
cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such Security
Interests;

     (3) Any Security Interest on any property or assets of any Restricted
Subsidiary to secure indebtedness owing by it to the Company or to a
Restricted Subsidiary;

     (4) Mechanics’, materialmen’s, carriers’ or other like liens arising
in the ordinary course of business (including construction of facilities) in
respect of obligations which are not due or which are being contested in
good faith;

     (5) Any Security Interest arising by reason of deposits with, or the
giving of any form of security to, any governmental agency or any body
created or approved by law or governmental regulations, which is required by
law or governmental regulation as a condition to the transaction of any
business, or the exercise of any privilege, franchise or license;

     (6) Security Interests for taxes, assessments or governmental charges
or levies not yet delinquent, or the Security Interests for taxes,
assessments or government charges or levies already delinquent but the
validity of which is being contested in good faith;

     (7) Security Interests (including judgment liens) arising in
connection with legal proceedings so long as such proceedings are being
contested in good faith and, in the case of judgment liens, execution
thereon is stayed;

     (8) Landlords’ liens on fixtures located on premises leased by the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business; or

     (9) Any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions,
renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Security Interest
permitted by subsection (a) of this Section 5.05.

     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 5.05, the Company and any
one or more Restricted Subsidiaries may without securing the Debt Securities issue, assume or
guarantee Secured Debt which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an
aggregate amount which, together with all other Secured Debt of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Secured
Debt permitted to be secured under subsection (a) above) and the aggregate value of the Sale and
Leaseback Transactions (as defined in Section 5.06) in existence at such time (not including Sale
and Leaseback Transactions the proceeds of which have been or will be applied in accordance with
Section 5.06(b)), does not

33

 

exceed 10% of Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity, determined as of a date
not more than 90 days prior thereto.

     (c) In the event that the Company shall hereafter secure the Debt Securities of each series
equally and ratably with any other obligation or indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.05, the Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into an indenture or agreement supplemental
hereto and to take such action, if any, as it may deem advisable to enable it to enforce
effectively the rights of the Holders of the Securities so secured, equally and ratably with such
other obligation or indebtedness.

     SECTION 5.06. Sale and Leaseback Transactions. So long as the Debt Securities shall remain
Outstanding, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or
transfer (except to the Company or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, or both) any Principal
Property owned by it and in full operation for more than 180 days with the intention of taking back
a lease on such property (except a lease for a term of no more than three years entered into with
the intent that the use by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such property will be
discontinued on or before the expiration of such term) (herein referred to as a “Sale and Leaseback
Transaction”) unless either (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled,
pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.05 hereof, to incur Secured Debt equal in amount to the
amount realized or to be realized upon such sale or transfer secured by a Security Interest on the
property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Debt Securities, or (b) the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to the value of the property so leased to
the retirement (other than any mandatory retirement), within 120 days of the effective date of any
such arrangement, of Funded Debt as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the
Company and which, in the case of such Funded Debt of the Company, is not subordinate and junior in
right of payment to the prior payment of the Debt Securities; provided, however, that in lieu of
applying all or any part of such amount to such retirement, the Company may at its option (x)
deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company,
or (y) receive credit for the Debt Securities theretofore redeemed at its option. If the Company
shall so deliver the Debt Securities to the Trustee (or receive credit for Debt Securities so
delivered), the amount which the Company shall be required to apply to the retirement of
indebtedness pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of such Debt Securities.

     The term “value” shall mean, with respect to a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, as of any
particular time, the amount equal to the greater of (i) the Capitalized Rent with respect thereto,
or (ii) the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction as determined by the Board of Directors.

     SECTION 5.07. Restrictions on Transfer of Principal Property to Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
So long as the Debt Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the Company will not itself, and
will not cause, suffer or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer (whether by merger,
consolidation or otherwise) any Principal Property to any Unrestricted Subsidiary, unless it shall
apply, within one year after the effective date of such transaction, or shall have committed within
one year after such effective date to apply, an

34

 

amount equal to the fair value of such Principal
Property at the time of such transfer, as determined by the Board of Directors, to (a) the
acquisition, construction, development or improvement of properties, facilities or equipment which
are, or, upon, such acquisition, construction, development or improvement will be, a Principal
Property or Properties or a part thereof, (b) the redemption of Debt Securities of any series in
accordance with the provisions of Article Four and at the redemption price referred to in Section
4.01 applicable at the time of such redemption, (c) the repayment of Funded Debt of the Company or
of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Funded Debt owed to any Restricted Subsidiary), or in
part to such acquisition, construction, development or improvement and in part to such redemption
and/or repayment; provided that, in lieu of applying an amount equivalent to all or any part of
such fair value to such redemption, the Company may, within one year after such transfer, deliver
to the Trustee Debt Securities (other than Debt Securities made the basis of reduction in a
mandatory sinking fund payment pursuant to Section 4.05) for cancellation and thereby reduce the
amount to be applied to the redemption of the Debt Securities of that series pursuant to clause (b)
above by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities so
delivered. Redemption of Debt Securities pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall not be used as
credits against mandatory sinking fund payments.

     SECTION 5.08. Certificate to Trustee. So long as the Debt Securities of any series remain
Outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee on or before 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year an Officers’ Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers
of their duties as officers of the Company, they would normally have knowledge of any default by
the Company in the performance or fulfillment or observance of any covenants or agreements
contained herein during the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not they have knowledge of
any such default and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signers have knowledge and
the nature thereof. The Officers’ Certificate need not comply with Section 15.05.

     SECTION 5.09. Waivers of Covenants. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Company may fail or omit, in respect of any series of Debt Securities, and in
any particular instance, to comply with a covenant, agreement or condition contained in Sections
5.02 and 5.04 (other than in 5.04(a)(1) and (2)) to 5.08, inclusive, if the Company shall have
obtained and filed with the Trustee before or after the time for such compliance the consent in
writing of the Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal
amount of the Debt Securities of the series affected by such waiver at the time Outstanding,
either waiving such compliance in such instance or generally waiving compliance with such covenant
or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived nor
impair any right consequent thereon and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations
of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE SIX.

Holders’ Lists and Reports by the Company

and the Trustee.

     SECTION 6.01. Holders’ Lists. The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause
to be furnished to the Trustee, not more than 15 days after each Regular Record Date with respect
to the Debt Securities of any series, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request, a list in such form as
the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Debt Securities of
such series as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished;
provided, however, that no such list with respect to any particular series of Debt Securities need
be furnished at any such time if the Trustee is in possession thereof by reason of its acting as
the Debt Security registrar for such series designated under Section 3.06 or otherwise.

     SECTION 6.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Lists. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the
Holders of Debt Securities contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section
6.01 or received by the Trustee in the capacity of the Debt Security registrar (if so acting) under
Section 3.06. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 6.01 upon
receipt of a new list so furnished.

     (b) The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under
this Indenture or under the Debt Securities of any series or of all Debt Securities, and the
corresponding rights and duties of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act of
1939.

     (c) Every Holder of Debt Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the
Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them
shall be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of
Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

     SECTION 6.03. Reports by the Company. The Company agrees to file with the Trustee and the
Commission, and transmit to Holders, such information, documents and other reports, and such
summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 at the times and
in the manner provided pursuant to such Act; provided that any
such information, documents or reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shall be filed with the
Trustee within 15 days after the same is so required to be filed with the Commission. Delivery of
such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the
Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with
any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely
exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).

36

 

     SECTION 6.04. Reports by the Trustee. (a) The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such
reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. The
interval between transmissions of reports to be transmitted at intervals shall be twelve months or
such shorter time required by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. If the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
does not specify the date on which a report is due, the such report shall be due on July 15 of each
year following the first issuance of Debt Securities.

     (b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by
the Trustee with each stock exchange upon which Debt Securities of any series are listed, with the
Commission and with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee when the Debt Securities of
any series are listed on any stock exchange.

ARTICLE SEVEN.

Remedies of the Trustee and Holders

on Event of Default.

     SECTION 7.01. Events of Default. Event of Default, with respect to any series of Debt
Securities, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for
such Event of Default 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 either inapplicable to a
particular series or it is specifically deleted or modified in the supplemental indenture under
which such series of Debt Securities is issued or in the form of Debt Security for such series:

     (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any Debt
Security of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable,
and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

     (b) default in the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on
any Debt Security of such series as and when the same shall become due
and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration of
acceleration or otherwise; or

     (c) default in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment
or analogous obligation, if any, with respect to the Debt Securities of such
series as and when the same shall become due and payable by the terms of the
Debt Securities of such series; or

     (d) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any
of the covenants, warrants or agreements on the part of the Company in
respect of the Debt Securities of such series in this Indenture (other than
a

37

 

covenant, warranty or agreement a default in whose performance or whose
breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with) continued for a
period of 75 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
specifying such failure and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered mail, or to the
Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series; or

     (e) an event of default with respect to any other series of Debt
Securities issued or hereafter issued pursuant to this Indenture or if
default shall be made (and shall not have been cured or waived) in the
payment of principal of or interest on any other obligation for borrowed
money of the Company beyond any period of grace with respect thereto if (i)
the aggregate principal amount (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount
Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in
the terms of such indebtedness as due and payable upon acceleration) of any
such obligation in respect of which principal or interest is and remains in
default is in excess of $100,000,000 and (ii) the default in such payment is
not being contested by the Company in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Section
7.08 and Section 8.01 the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any
such default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to the
Trustee by the Company, by the holders or an agent of the holders of any
such indebtedness, by the trustee then acting under any indenture or other
instrument under which such default shall have occurred, or by the Holders
of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of such series of Debt
Securities at the time Outstanding; or

     (f) a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises
shall have been entered adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or
approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of the Company
under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any other similar applicable Federal or
state law, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and
unstayed for a period of 60 days; or a decree
or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the
appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee or other
similar official in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or of all or
substantially all of its property, or for the winding up or liquidation of
its affairs, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have
continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

     (g) the Company shall institute proceedings to be adjudicated a
voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy
proceeding against it, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking
an arrangement or a reorganization under the Federal bankruptcy laws or

38

 

any
other similar applicable Federal or state law, or shall consent to the
filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee or other similar official in
bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of all or substantially all of its
property, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due; or

     (h) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental indenture
under which such series of Debt Securities is issued or in the form of Debt
Security for such series;

then and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default with respect to any series
of Debt Securities for which there are Debt Securities Outstanding occurs and is continuing and
shall not have been remedied or waived to the extent permitted by the terms of this Indenture,
unless the principal of all of the Debt Securities of such series shall have already become due and
payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal (or, if the Debt Securities of that series
are Original Issue Discount Debt Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms of that series) of all the Debt Securities of such series and the interest
accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall
become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Debt
Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. This provision, however, is
subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Debt Securities of such
series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the
payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company
shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the currency in which the
Debt Securities of such series are payable all matured installments of interest upon all of the
Debt Securities and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Debt Securities of such
series which shall have become due otherwise than by such declaration (with interest on overdue
installments of interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law and on such principal and premium, if any, at the rate borne by the Debt Securities
of such series or as otherwise provided in the form of Debt Security for such series, to the date
of such payment or deposit) and the expenses of the Trustee (subject to Section 8.06), and any and
all
defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on
Debt Securities of such series which shall have become due by such declaration, shall have been
cured or shall have been waived in accordance with Section 7.07 or provision deemed by the Trustee
to be adequate shall have been made therefor — then and in every such case the Holders of at least
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding, by
written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences; but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent
default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

     In case the Trustee or any Holders shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this
Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned

39

 

because of such rescission
and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then
and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored respectively to
their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

     SECTION 7.02. Payment of Debt Securities Upon Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants
that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest upon any Debt
Security of any series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall
have continued for a period of 30 days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of the
principal of and premium, if any, on any Debt Security of any series as and when the same shall
have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the Debt Security or upon redemption or by
declaration or otherwise or (c) in case default shall be made in the making or satisfaction of any
sinking fund payment or analogous obligation with respect to the Debt Securities of any series when
the same becomes due by the terms of the Debt Securities of any series—then, upon demand of the
Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders (or Holders of Debt
Securities of any such series in the case of clause (c) above), the whole amount that then shall
have become due and payable on any such Debt Security (or Debt Securities of any such series in the
case of clause (3) above) for principal and premium, if any, or interest, or both, as the case may
be, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that payment
of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at
the rate borne by the Debt Securities of such series or as otherwise provided in the form of Debt
Security of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its
agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred and advances made by the
Trustee, except compensation or advances arising, or expenses or liabilities incurred, as a result
of the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith.

     Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on the Debt Securities of any series to the Persons entitled thereto, whether or
not the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Debt Securities of such series are
overdue.

     In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any
actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and
may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such
judgment or final decree against the Company or any other obligor on such Debt Securities and
collect, in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor on
such Debt Securities wherever situated, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. If any Event
of Default with respect to any series of Debt Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Debt
Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most
effectual to protect and enforce

40

 

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.

     In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the
Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities of any series under the Federal bankruptcy laws
or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the
property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the case of any other similar judicial
proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Debt Securities of any series, or to
the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of
whether the principal of the Debt Securities of such series 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02, shall be entitled and empowered by
intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the
whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such
series, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the
Holders of the Debt Securities of such series allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the
Company or any other obligor on such Debt Securities, its or their creditors, or its or their
property, (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders
of any Debt Securities of any series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in
arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person
performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and (c) to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the
deduction of its charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series to
make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient
to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other
expenses and liabilities incurred and advances made by the Trustee except compensation or advances
arising, or expenses or liabilities incurred, as a result of the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith.

     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 or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Debt Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder (except, as aforesaid, for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions) in any such proceeding.

     All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Debt
Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Debt
Securities, or the production thereof on any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any
such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit

41

 

of the Holders of the
Debt Securities of such series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

     In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the
interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), the
Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Debt Securities in respect to which such
action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Debt Securities parties
to any such proceedings.

     SECTION 7.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates
fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the Debt Securities
of such series, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender
thereof, if fully paid:

     FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and
reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel,
and of all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made,
by the Trustee except compensation or advances arising, or expenses or
liabilities incurred, as a result of its negligence or bad faith, and any
other amounts owing the Trustee under Section 8.06;

     SECOND: In case the principal of the Debt Securities of such series
shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on such
Debt Securities, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such
interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected
by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne
by such Debt Securities, such payments to be made ratable to the Persons
entitled thereto;

     THIRD: In case the principal of the Debt Securities of such series
shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the
whole amount then owing and unpaid upon such Debt Securities for
principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest on the
overdue principal and premium, if any, and (to the extent that such interest
has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at
the rate borne by such Debt Securities; and in case such moneys shall be
insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon such
Debt Securities, then, to the payment of such principal and premium, if any,
and interest without preference or priority of principal and premium, if
any, over interest, or of interest over principal and premium, if any, or of
any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of
any Debt Security of such series over any other such Debt Security, ratably
to the aggregate of such principal and premium, if any, and accrued and
unpaid interest;

42

 

     FOURTH: To the payment of any surplus then remaining to the Company,
its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive the same.

     SECTION 7.04. Proceedings by Holders. No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have
any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with
respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series then Outstanding shall
have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding (and no direction
inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section
7.07), it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of
every Debt Security of every series with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one
or more Holders of Debt Securities 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
Holder of such Debt Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Debt Securities.

     SECTION 7.05. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee
may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by
such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and
enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this
Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this
Indenture or by law.

     SECTION 7.06. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. All powers and remedies given by this
Article Seven to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed
cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the
Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or
observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of
the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and
continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver
of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04,
every power and remedy given by this

Article Seven or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may
be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Holders.

     SECTION 7.07. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt 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 Debt Securities by this Indenture; provided, however, that (subject to the
provisions of Section 8.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the Trustee shall determine upon advice of counsel that the action or proceeding so
directed may not lawfully be taken or would be materially and unjustly prejudicial to the rights of
Holders not joining in such direction or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or
trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible
Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in
personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or
forebearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the
interests of Holders of the Debt Securities of all series not joining in the giving of said
direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 8.01) the Trustee shall have no duty to
ascertain whether or not such actions or forebearances are duly prejudicial to such Holders. The
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee not inconsistent with such
direction. Subject to Section 7.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities
of such series waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except a
default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Debt Securities, or
a default in the making of any sinking fund payment with respect to such Debt Securities. Upon any
such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of such Debt Securities shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever
any default or Event of Default shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 7.07, said
default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Debt Securities and this Indenture be
deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.

     This Section 7.07 shall be in lieu of Sections 316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 and such Sections 316(a)(1)(A) and Section 316(a)(1)(B) are hereby expressly
excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

     SECTION 7.08. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall give the Holders notice of any default
hereunder as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939; provided, however, that
in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 7.07(d), no such notice to Holders
shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would become, an Event of Default.

44

 

     SECTION 7.09. Undertaking to Pay 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 of 1939; provided that neither
this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 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, and any
provision of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 to such effect is hereby expressly excluded from this
Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

     SECTION 7.10. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Debt Security shall have
the rights, which are absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, and (subject to Section 3.08) interest on such Debt Security on the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or in the case of redemption or repayment, on the date
for redemption or repayment, as the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

ARTICLE EIGHT.

Concerning the Trustee.

     SECTION 8.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The duties and responsibilities of the
Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
implied covenants or obligations, except as provided by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee, and no provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly
so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the
conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject
to the provisions of this Section.

     SECTION 8.02. Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. Subject to the provisions of Section
8.01,

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

45

 

     (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (unless
otherwise evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed);
and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be evidenced to the Trustee
by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of
the Company;

     (c) 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 or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

     (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or
direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may
be incurred therein or thereby;

     (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken 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;

     (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Debt Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all Events
of Default with respect to such Debt Securities, 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, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note, or other paper or
document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of such Debt Securities then
Outstanding; provided, however, that the reasonable expenses of every
such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the
Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and provided, further,
that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs,
expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to
the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or
liabilities as a condition to so proceeding;

     (g) 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 liable or responsible for any

46

 

misconduct, bad faith or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney
appointed with due care by it hereunder;

     (h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any default
or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge thereof or Holders of greater than 50% of the outstanding
principal amount of Debt Securities of any series shall have notified the
Trustee thereof; and

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

     SECTION 8.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals contained herein and in the
Debt Securities (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the
same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or
of the Debt Securities of any series. The Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute
and deliver this Indenture and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor the
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company or any Debt
Securities or the proceeds of any Debt Securities authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

     SECTION 8.04. Trustee and Agents May Own Debt Securities. The Trustee, any paying agent, or
any agent of the Trustee or the Company under this Indenture, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities of any series with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee or such agent and, subject to Sections 8.08 and 8.13, if
operative, may otherwise deal with the Company and receive, collect, hold, and retain collections
from the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent.

     SECTION 8.05. Moneys to be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.04, all
moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust
for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent
shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it
may agree with the Company to pay thereon. So long as no Event of Default with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such
moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Company, signed by its
President, its Chief Financial Officer, any Vice President, its Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer.

     SECTION 8.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay
to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust), and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the

47

 

reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and all persons not regularly in its employ and any amounts paid by
the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent pursuant to Section 8.14) except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants
to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, or the performance of its duties
hereunder, including the current payment of all costs and expenses of defending itself against any
claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.06 to
compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional
indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Debt Securities upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the
Holders of particular Debt Securities. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in
connection with an Event of Default specified in Sectio 7.01(f) or Section 7.01(g), the expenses
(including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the
services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or
state 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 8.07. Officers’ Certificate as Evidence. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01,
whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any
action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to
be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and
such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be
full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this
Indenture upon the faith thereof.

     SECTION 8.08. Conflicting Interest of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the
Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign in the manner provided by,
and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and this Indenture.

     SECTION 8.09. Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to
each series of Debt Securities hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or of the District of
Columbia authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power’s, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $5,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal, state,
territorial, or District of Columbia authority and having its principal office and place of
business in St. Paul, Minnesota, if there be such a corporation having its principal office and
place of business in said City and willing to act as Trustee hereunder. If such corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of

48

 

this Section 8.09, 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. In case at any time the
Trustee with respect to any series of Debt Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 8.09, such Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 8.10.

     SECTION 8.10. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign with
respect to any series of Debt Securities by giving written notice by first class mail of such
resignation to the Company and to the Holders of such series of Debt Securities at their addresses
as they shall appear on the Debt Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to such series by written
instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor
trustee with respect to such series shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within 60 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning
Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder of such series of Debt Securities who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series for at least six months may,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series.
Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint
such successor trustee.

     (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur—

     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection
(a) of Section 8.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security or Debt Securities
of such series for at least six months, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign
is stayed in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, or

     (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.09 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder of a note of such series, or

     (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any
series of Debt Securities, 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, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to such series and appoint
a successor trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed on instruction of
the President, The Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer of the Company, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the

49

 

successor trustee, or,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt
Security or Debt Securities 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 removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may
thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove such Trustee and
appoint such successor trustee.

     (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities
of any series may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series by delivering to the
Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Company the evidence provided
for in Section 9.01 of the action in that regard taken by the Holders, and nominate a successor
Trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor Trustee unless within ten days after such
nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder of a
Debt Security or Debt Securities of such series, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in
subsection (a) of this Section 8.10 provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
an appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

     (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to all or any series of Debt
Securities and any appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section 8.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 8.11.

     SECTION 8.11. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided
in Section 8.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective with respect to all or any series as to
which it is resigning as Trustee, and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder with respect to all or any such series, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee herein with respect to all or any such series;
nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee
ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section
8.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights and
powers of the Trustee with respect to all or any such series so ceasing to act. Upon request of
any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers.
Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or
collected by such Trustee with respect to all or any series as to which it is resigning as Trustee,
to secure any amounts and shall be entitled to any indemnities then due it pursuant to the
provisions of Section 8.06.

     No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.11 unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section
8.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 8.09.

50

 

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee with respect to all or any series of
Debt Securities as provided in this Section 8.11, the Company shall mail notice of the succession
of such Trustee hereunder to the Holders of Debt Securities of such series at their addresses as
they shall appear on the Debt Security Register. If the Company fails to mail such notice within
ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

     In case the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
with respect to the Debt Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto which 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 Debt Securities of any series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue
to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and 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.

     SECTION 8.12. Succession by Merger, etc. Subject to Sections 8.08 and 8.09, 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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto.

     In case at the time any successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such
successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Debt Securities so authenticated; and in case at that
time any of the Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of such successor Trustee or, if such
successor Trustee is a successor by merger, conversion or consolidation, the name of any
predecessor hereunder; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is
anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee
shall have.

     SECTION 8.13. Limitation on Rights of Trustee as a Creditor. If and when the Trustee shall
be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee
shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 regarding the collection of
claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

     SECTION 8.14. Authenticating Agents. There may be an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating
Agents appointed by the Trustee from time to time with power to act on its behalf and subject to
its direction in the authentication and delivery of any series of Debt

51

 

Securities issued upon
original issuance, exchange, transfer or redemption thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as
though such Authenticating Agent (or Authenticating Agents) had been expressly authorized to
authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities, and Debt Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as
though authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. For all purposes of this Indenture, the
authentication and delivery of Debt Securities by any Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section
8.14 shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities “by the
Trustee”, and whenever this Indenture provides that “the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver”
Debt Securities or that Debt Securities “shall have been authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee”, such authentication and delivery by any Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be
authentication and delivery by the Trustee. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any
State or Territory or the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least
$5,000,000 and authorized under such laws to act as an authenticating agent, duly registered to act
as such, if and to the extent required by applicable law and subject to supervision or examination
by Federal or State authority. If such corporation publishes reports of its condition at least
annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.14 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 an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 8.14, or to be duly registered if and to the extent required by applicable law and
regulations, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect herein specified in this
Section 8.14.

     Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Debt
Securities of any series 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 its
Authenticating Agent appointed with respect to the Debt Securities of such
series and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by its
Authenticating Agent appointed with respect to the Debt Securities of such series.

     Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion
to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the
authenticating agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such
Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this
Section 8.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the
parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

     In case at the time such successor to any such agency shall succeed to such agency any of the
Debt Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to such
Authenticating Agent may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Authenticating
Agent and deliver such Debt Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Debt
Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to any

52

 

Authenticating Agent may
authenticate such Debt Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of
the successor Authenticating Agent; and in all cases such certificate shall have the full force
which it has anywhere in the Debt Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of
the predecessor Authenticating Agent shall have had such force; provided, however, that the right
to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Authenticating Agent or to
authenticate Debt Securities in the name of any predecessor Authenticating Agent shall apply only
to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

     Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign as Authenticating Agent with respect to any
series of Debt Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the
Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent with respect
to any series of Debt Securities by giving written notice of termination 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 Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 8.14, the
Trustee may, and shall, upon request of the Company, promptly use its best efforts to appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent.

     Upon the appointment, at any time after the original issuance of any of the Debt Securities,
of any successor, additional or new Authenticating Agent, the Trustee shall give written notice of
such appointment to the Company and shall at the expense of the Company mail notice of such
appointment to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series as the names and addresses of such
Holders appear on the Debt Security Register.

     Any successor Authenticating Agent with respect to any series of Debt Securities upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties
of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as though originally named as an Authenticating
Agent herein with respect to such series. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 8.14 and duly
registered if and to the extent required under applicable law and regulations.

     Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment with respect to any series of
Debt Securities shall be deemed to have agreed with the Trustee that: it will perform and carry out
the duties of an Authenticating Agent as herein set forth with respect to such series, including
among other things the duties to authenticate and deliver Debt Securities when presented to it in
connection with exchanges, registrations of transfer or redemptions thereof; it will keep and
maintain, and furnish to the Trustee from time to time as requested by the Trustee appropriate
records of all transactions carried out by it as Authenticating Agent and will furnish the Trustee
such other information and reports as the Trustee may reasonably require; it is eligible for
appointment as Authenticating Agent under this Section 8.14 and will notify the Trustee promptly if
it shall cease to be so qualified; and it will indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability or
expense incurred by the Trustee and will defend any claim asserted against the Trustee by reason of
any acts or failures to act of the Authenticating Agent with respect to such series but it shall
have no liability for any action taken by it at the specific written direction of the Trustee.

53

 

     The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation and expenses for its services, and the Trustee shall have no liability for such
payments.

     The provisions of Sections 8.02(a), (b), (c), (e) and (f), 8.03, 8.04, 8.06 (insofar as it
pertains to indemnification), 9.01, 9.02 and 9.03 shall bind and inure to the benefit of each
Authenticating Agent to the same extent that they bind and inure to the benefit of the Trustee.

     If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 8.14,
the Debt Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

54

 

     This is one of the Debt Securities of the series designated herein issued under the
within-mentioned Indenture.

ARTICLE NINE.

Concerning the Holders.

     SECTION 9.01. Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders
of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series may
take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent
or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action
the Holders of such specified percentage of such series have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by
any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders of such series in
person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders of such
series voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Holders duly called and held in accordance
with the provisions of Article Ten, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and
any such record of such a meeting of Holders of such series.

     SECTION 9.02. Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01,
8.02 and 10.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be
sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by
the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The ownership of Debt
Securities shall be provided by the Debt Security Register or by a certificate of the Debt Security
registrar with respect to a series of Debt Securities.

     The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 10.06.

     SECTION 9.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee with respect to a
series of Debt Securities, and any agent of the Trustee or the Company
under this Indenture may deem the Person in whose name such Debt Security shall be registered

55

 

upon the Debt Security Register to be, and may treat him as, the absolute owner of such Debt
Security (whether or not such Debt Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Company, the Trustee or any such
agent) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on such Debt Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so
made to any Holder for the time being or upon his order shall, to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid, be effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Debt
Security.

     SECTION 9.04. Company-Owned Debt Securities Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders
of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of any series have concurred in any
direction or consent under this Indenture, Debt Securities of such series which are owned by the
Company or any other obligor on the Debt Securities of such series or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company
or any other obligor on such Debt Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding
for the propose of any such determinations; provided, however, that for the purposes of determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction or consent only such Debt
Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.
Debt Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding
notwithstanding this Section 9.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee
the right of the pledgee to vote such Debt Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly
or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Company or any such other obligor. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Debt Securities of a series,
if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any other
obligor on such Debt Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on such Debt
Securities; and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept
such Officers’ Certificates as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact
that all such Debt Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination.

     SECTION 9.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not
after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 9.01, of the taking of any action by
the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of any series
specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Debt Security which is
shown by the evidence to be included in the Debt Securities the Holders of which have consented to
or are bound by consents to such action, may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its
principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 9.02, revoke such action so far
as concerns such Debt Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any
Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future Holders and owners of such Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued on
transfer thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any

56

 

notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Debt Security. Any action taken by the Holders of
the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders of all of the Debt Securities affected by such action.

ARTICLE TEN

Holders’ Meetings.

     SECTION 10.01. Purposes of Meetings. A meeting of Holders of the Debt Securities of all or
any series may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this
Article Ten for any of the following purposes:

     (1) to give any notice to the Company or to the Trustee with respect
to such series, or to give any directions to the Trustee, or to consent to
the waiving of any default hereunder and its consequences, or to take any
other action authorized to be taken by Holders pursuant to any of the
provisions of Article Seven;

     (2) to remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee pursuant to
the provisions of Article Eight;

     (3) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures

     (4) to take any other action authorized to be taken by or on behalf of
the Holders of any specified aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of all or any series, as the case may be, under any other
provision of this Indenture or under applicable law.

     SECTION 10.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of
Holders of Debt Securities of all or any series to take any action specified in Section 10.01, to
be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of
the Holders of Debt Securities of all or any series, setting forth the time and place of such
meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be mailed by
the Trustee to Holders of Debt Securities of each series that may be affected by the action
proposed to be taken at such meeting at their addresses as they shall appear on the Debt Security
Register. Such notice shall be mailed not less than 20 nor more than 90 days prior to the date
fixed for the meeting.

     SECTION 10.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Holders. In case at any time the Company,
pursuant to a resolution by the Board of Directors, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities then Outstanding of each series
that may be affected by the action proposed to be taken shall have requested the Trustee to
call a meeting of such Holders, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action
proposed

57

 

to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed the notice of such
meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company or such Holders may
determine the time and place for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action
authorized in Section 10.01, by mailing notice thereof as provided in Section 10.02.

     SECTION 10.04. Qualifications for Voting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders
of Debt Securities a person shall (a) be a Holder of one or more Debt Securities of a series
affected by the action proposed to be taken or (b) be a Person appointed by an instrument in
writing as proxy by a Holder of one or more such Debt Securities. The rights of Holders of Debt
Securities to have their votes counted shall be subject to the provision in the definition of
“Outstanding” in Section 1.01. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at
any meeting of Holders of Debt Securities shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and
their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the
Company and its counsel.

     SECTION 10.05. Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the
Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of
Debt Securities, in regard to proof of the holding of Debt Securities and of the appointment of
proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other
matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit. Except as otherwise permitted
or required by any such regulation, the holding of Debt Securities shall be proved in the manner
specified in Section 9.02 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified
in said Section 9.02 or by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy witnessed or
guaranteed by any bank, broker or trust company.

     The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting,
unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Debt Securities as
provided in Section 10.03, in which case the Company or the Holders of Debt Securities as provided
in Section 10.03, in which case the Company or the Holders of Debt Securities calling the meeting,
as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 9.04, at any meeting each Holder of a Debt Security of a
series entitled to vote at such meeting or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000
principal amount of Debt Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however,
that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Debt Security challenged as
not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the
meeting shall have no right to vote except as a Holder of Debt Securities of such series or proxy
therefor. Any meeting of Holders of Debt Securities duly
called pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.02 or 10.03 may be adjourned from time to time
and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

58

 

     At any meeting of Holders of Debt Securities, the presence of Persons holding or representing
Debt Securities in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to take action upon the business for
the transaction of which such meeting was called shall be necessary to constitute a quorum; but, if
less than quorum be present, the Persons holding or representing a majority of the Debt Securities
represented at the meeting may adjourn such meeting with the same effect, for all intents and
purposes, as though a quorum had been present.

     SECTION 10.06. Voting. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of
Debt Securities shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the
holders of Debt Securities entitled to vote at such meeting or of their representatives by proxy,
and the letter or letters, serial number or numbers or other distinguishing marks of the Debt
Securities held or represented by him. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two
inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and
who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in
duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each
meeting of Holders of Debt Securities shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there
shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by
ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting
forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was mailed as provided in
Section 10.02. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman
and secretary of the meeting and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the
other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the
ballots voted at the meeting.

     Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

     SECTION 10.07. No Delay of Rights by Meeting. Nothing in this Article Ten contained shall be
deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Holders of Debt
Securities of any or all series or any rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make
such call, any hindrance or delay in the exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Holders of Debt Securities under any of the provisions of this Indenture
or of the Debt Securities.

ARTICLE ELEVEN.

Supplemental Indentures.

     SECTION 11.01 Supplemental Indentures without Consent of Holders. The Company, when
authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into
an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform
to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in force at the date of the execution
thereof) for one or more of the following purposes:

59

 

     (a) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company,
or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation
of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to
Articles Five and Twelve hereof;

     (b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions as the Board of Directors and the
Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Debt
Securities of any or all series, and to make the occurrence, or the
occurrence and continuance, of a default in any of such additional
covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a default or an Event of
Default with respect to such series permitting the enforcement of all or any
of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth;
provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenant,
restriction or condition, such supplemental indenture may provide for a
particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or
longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for
an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies
available to the Trustee upon such default;

     (c) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any
supplemental indenture; to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any
property to or with the Trustee; or to make such other provisions in regard
to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of the Debt Securities;

     (d) to secure the Debt Securities of all series in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 5.05;

     (e) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by
another corporation as a successor Trustee hereunder with respect to one or
more series of Debt Securities and to add to or change any of the provisions
of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to
Section 8.11;

     (f) to modify, amend or supplement this Indenture in such a manner as
to permit the qualification of any indenture supplemental hereto under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect, except that nothing herein
contained shall permit or authorize the inclusion in any indenture
supplemental hereto of the provisions referred to in Section 316(a)(2)
of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939;

60

 

     (g) to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Debt
Securities in coupon form (including Debt Securities registrable as to
principal only) and to provide for exchangeability of such Debt Securities
with Debt Securities of the same series issued hereunder in fully registered
form and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose;

     (h) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture,
provided, however, that any such change or elimination shall become
effective only when there is no Debt Security Outstanding of any series
created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is
entitled to the benefit of such provision; or

     (i) to establish any additional form of Debt Security, as permitted by
Section 2.02, and to provide for the issuance of any additional series of
Debt Securities, as permitted by Section 3.01, and to set forth the terms
thereof.

     The Trustee is hereby required to join with the Company in the execution of any such
supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be
therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any
property thereunder, but the Trustee 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.

     Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 11.01 may be executed
by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Debt Securities at
the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 11.02.

     SECTION 11.02. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced
as provided in Section 9.01) of the Holders of greater than 50% in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture (all such
Holders voting as a single class), by act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee,
the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at
any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt
Securities of each series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture shall (i) without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Debt Security affected
thereby, extend the fixed maturity of any Debt Security, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any premium thereon, or make
the principal
thereof or interest or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency other than that
provided in the Debt Securities or (ii) without the consent of the Holders of all of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debt
Securities, the Holders of which are required to consent (a) to any such supplemental indenture,
(b) to rescind and annul

61

 

a declaration that any Debt Securities are due and payable as a result of
the occurrence of an Event of Default, (c) to waive any past default under the Indenture and its
consequences and (d) to waive compliance with Sections 5.02 and 5.04 (other than 5.04(a)(1) and
(2)) to 5.08, inclusive.

     Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution certified by its
Secretary or Assistant Secretary authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders of Debt Securities as
aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture
unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

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

     SECTION 11.03. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven, this Indenture shall be and be deemed
to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders
of Debt Securities shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this
Indenture for any and all purposes.

     SECTION 11.04. Notation on Debt Securities. Debt Securities authenticated and delivered
after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven
may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such
supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Debt Securities of
any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors to
any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Outstanding
Debt Securities of such series.

     SECTION 11.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to be Furnished Trustee. The
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 8.01 and 7.02, shall receive, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 15.05, an Officer’s
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture
executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article Eleven and is authorized
and permitted by this Indenture.

62

 

ARTICLE TWELVE.

Consolidation, Merger, Sale and Conveyance.

     SECTION 12.01. Company May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. Nothing contained in this
Indenture or in any of the Debt Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into any other corporation or corporations (whether or not affiliated with the Company), or
successive consolidations or mergers in which the Company or its successor or successors shall be a
party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance or lease of all or substantially all of the
property of the Company to any other corporation (whether or not affiliated with the Company)
authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, and the Company hereby covenants and
agrees, that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease shall be upon the condition
that (a) immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease the corporation
(whether the Company or such other corporation) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
merger, or to which such sale, conveyance or lease shall have been made, shall not be in default in
the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
kept or performed by the Company; (b) the corporation (if other than the Company) formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, conveyance or lease shall have
been made, shall be a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America or any
state thereof; and (c) the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on all of the Debt Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed
or observed by the Company, shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture satisfactory in
form to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by the Corporation (if other than the
Company) formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by the
corporation which shall have acquired or leased such property.

     SECTION 12.02. Successor Corporation to be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance or lease and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by
supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the
Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
all of the Debt Securities and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the
covenants and conditions of this Indenture to performed or observed by the Company, such successor
corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had
been named herein as the party of the first part, and (except in the event of a conveyance by way
of lease) the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of any further obligation under this
Indenture and the Debt Securities. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed,
and may issue either in its own name or in the name of Johnson Controls, Inc. any or all of the
Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation instead of the Company
and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee
shall authenticate and shall deliver any Debt Securities which previously shall have been signed
and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Debt
Securities which such successor corporation

63

 

thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the
Debt Securities of each series so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit
under this Indenture as the Debt Securities of such series theretofore or thereafter issued in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Debt Securities had been issued
at the date of the execution hereof.

     In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease such changes in
phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Debt Securities thereafter to be
issued as may be appropriate.

64

 

     SECTION 12.03. Opinion of Counsel to Be Given Trustee. The Trustee, subject to Sections 8.01
and 8.02, shall receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance and any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Article
Twelve and that all conditions precedent herein provided relating to such transactions have been
complied with.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN.

trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series) as
it relates to such Debt Securities shall no longer be in effect, and the Trustee, at the expense of
the Company, shall, upon Company Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same if:

     (a) (1) all Debt Securities of such series therefore authenticated and
delivered (other than (i) Debt Securities which have been destroyed, lost or
stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.07 and
(ii) Debt Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited

such failure, return such deposit to the Company;
